My husband Can Cultivate-Chapter 129: Just a Mere Servant!

"Wind Control Talisman!"

A dazzling light flickered over Yang Qi’s legs. Then, he instantly shifted two meters away, as if a gust of wind had just passed through. His speed far exceeded Ning Que’s.

Detonator Talismans were a type of Spirit Talisman for attacks and traps, while Wind Control Talismans were used exclusively for travel and escape. Yang Qi had always known that when his own strength was insufficient, he had to learn how to flee for his life. Mastering the Wind Control Talisman was a necessity, and this time, it proved its worth once again.

Because of his excessive speed, Ning Que slammed headfirst into the wall.

BANG!

The sound made even Yang Qi wince. The force of his own charge had torn his wounds open, and combined with the impact against the wall, Ning Que’s injuries only worsened.

"Heh, you’re not so tough after all!" Yang Qi took advantage of Ning Que’s daze, charging forward and wrapping his legs around Ning Que’s neck with all his might.

"Damn it! Boy, you’re asking for death!" Ning Que’s face turned red as he was strangled, and he desperately clawed at Yang Qi’s legs.

This guy is still formidable. Despite his severe injuries, he managed to throw Yang Qi off.

BANG!

Yang Qi crashed to the ground, but he scrambled to his feet the next moment. He couldn’t go down. To fall now meant certain death.

The instant he stood up, Ning Que lunged at him again. This guy really is a madman. It was as if he no longer cared about his own injuries.

"I’ll kill you before I fall!" Ning Que was beyond frustrated. Being beaten like this by someone who was clearly his inferior was a true humiliation. To wash away this disgrace, he had to kill Yang Qi; otherwise, he would lose all face.

"Zhang Xiaoduo!" Yang Qi shouted.

A cat suddenly appeared from behind him and swiped its claws across Ning Que’s face.

Ning Que cried out in pain. Bloody scratches now marked his face.

Seizing the opportunity, Yang Qi clamped a dagger in his mouth and charged toward Ning Que, his target the man’s neck.

His hands were useless, but his mouth was not. In today’s battle, one of them had to die. He could feel that Ning Que’s killing intent was completely real, with no pretense whatsoever. Therefore, he had to use any means necessary to win, even if it meant being a bit underhanded. He had to survive. Only by living would he have a future.

"Enough!"

Just as the sharp dagger was about to slice into Ning Que’s neck—even for a Great Grandmaster, mortal flesh was still mortal flesh, and a cut like that would have been tragic—a figure appeared between Ning Que and Yang Qi, blocking the path.

It was Lin Qiye! 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Ning Que, having regained his senses, tried to attack again but was stopped by Lin Qiye. "That’s enough from you, too. Aren’t you embarrassed? A dignified Great Grandmaster, almost killed by him."

Ning Que’s expression turned ugly, but he dared not retort. Today’s battle had truly been a disgrace.

Lin Qiye turned to Yang Qi and said, "You won. You must be happy, right?"

Before Yang Qi could say anything, Lin Qiye continued, "But do you know who he is? He’s merely a servant of the Jingzhou Lin Family. To defeat him, you stopped at nothing, and even in victory, you’ve lost all strength to fight. If I wanted to kill you now, you would be utterly defenseless.

"Do you really think you can protect Qingxuan like this? I know she doesn’t like the Divine Son, but he can protect her. Can you?"

"I can!" Yang Qi threw the dagger to the ground and declared loudly. "I can’t right now, but I definitely will in the future!"

"The future? One year? Two? Or ten?" Lin Qiye sneered. "You can’t expect Qingxuan to wait for you forever."

"One year! Give me one year at most, and I will go to Jingzhou to find her!" Yang Qi roared. "Right now, she doesn’t dare reveal our relationship in order to protect me. But in one year, I will announce to the entire world that Lin Qingxuan is my woman, Yang Qi’s woman!"

"Heh heh," Lin Qiye chuckled. "One year? You seem to have a rather simplistic view of the world."

"It’s a promise and a demand I place on myself!" Yang Qi said fiercely. "If I fail to do it by then, you can kill me or torture me as you see fit!"

"I can give you one year, but others won’t," Lin Qiye said. "There’s no need to make vows to me. When Qingxuan returns this time, she will be heading to the Heavenly God Sect. If you have what it takes, go fight your way to the Heavenly God Sect and take back the woman you love. If you don’t, then just hide in Jingnan Prefecture and don’t come out. Save yourself the humiliation.

"And you, Ning Que, listen up. I stopped him from killing you today. For the next month, you are forbidden from attacking him. Otherwise, I’ll kill you! After one month, you’re free to do as you please!"

With that, he turned to leave.

Ning Que shot Yang Qi a vicious glare. "Kid, in one month, you’re dead!"

He believed the only reason he failed to kill Yang Qi today was that he knew too little about him and fell for his tricks. But it wouldn’t happen again. It absolutely wouldn’t! The same mistake would not be made twice.

He also left to tend to his injuries, which were quite severe.

However, before he even made it out the door, he saw Lin Qingxuan.

She was staring at him coldly, her eyes brimming with killing intent. Even Lin Qiye, standing beside her, could feel it.

"I believe I said that he is my savior and that I will kill anyone who touches him," Lin Qingxuan said coldly. "Did you really think I wouldn’t dare to kill you?"

To think that Yang Qi had been beaten into such a state in her own residence... how could she possibly be in a good mood?

Ning Que felt a chill run down his spine. He sensed a terrifying aura locked onto him, but he had no idea where it was coming from. He knew with certainty that if this person wanted to act, he would die without a doubt. It was only then that he truly realized how rash he had been. He should have attacked Yang Qi outside.

"Qingxuan, let him go," Yang Qi said. "His injuries are worse than mine. I’m fine. Besides, I want to be the one to defeat him, fair and square!"

Today, he had resorted to many tricks, simply because he lacked the strength for a direct confrontation. Next time, he would beat Ning Que so thoroughly that there would be no room for excuses.

Lin Qingxuan was silent for a moment before replying, "Fine. The death penalty may be waived, but you won’t escape punishment. Kneel and apologize, then get out. Otherwise, I guarantee you’ll be leaving a piece of yourself behind today!"

"Miss Qingxuan, you want me to apologize to a little brat?" Ning Que was displeased. Even if he was just a dog of the Jingzhou Lin Family, he couldn’t possibly kneel and apologize to some nobody from Kang City.

SLAP!

Lin Qingxuan struck Ning Que across the face. "He told me not to kill you, but that doesn’t sit well with me! You nearly killed my benefactor. What’s wrong with making you kneel and apologize? Besides, he’s not some ’little brat’—he is my savior."

"Kneel," Lin Qiye suddenly added. "If you’ve got the guts, you can earn your dignity back later."

Ning Que looked from Lin Qingxuan to Lin Qiye. Gritting his teeth, he had no choice but to kneel before Yang Qi. "I will repay today’s humiliation in the future!"
