My White and Rich Beautiful CEO Wife-Chapter 498 -
The cave wasn't very wide, probably around one meter or so.
Qin Yu, holding Phoenix, had to turn sideways to barely make his way in.
However, this kind of terrain had one advantage: it was easy to defend and hard to attack. Even if Zhao Qilin came here with his men, they couldn't use their numbers to their advantage. In a one-on-one fight, Qin Yu wasn't afraid of him at all.
"Huh, this cave is quite deep!"
Qin Yu, carrying Phoenix, walked for about ten minutes and still hadn't reached the end. The cave was shaped like a bottle gourd, becoming more spacious as he moved further inside.
"You rest for a while, I still have something to do!"
Qin Yu said after placing Phoenix on the dry ground.
"Do what?"
Phoenix asked subconsciously.
She was extremely weak at the moment, and in this dark and gloomy cave, with Qin Yu leaving her alone, she felt a bit nervous and scared.
"Cover our scent!"
Qin Yu explained. Zhao Qilin would most likely bring police dogs, and the noses of those professionally trained dogs were very sensitive.
If they found them in this cave, there was no need for a forceful assault; just blowing up the entrance would be like burying him and Phoenix alive.
"Okay!"
Phoenix nodded slightly.
This man was not only composed and calm, but also very smart.
Half an hour later.
Qin Yu returned to the cave and smilingly said, "Lucky us, I found a bunch of clove flowers and crushed them into juice to sprinkle at the entrance. Even if the police dogs come now, their noses will be out of commission."
"Actually, Zhao Qilin doesn't really expect to catch you. He's just delaying time. At noon, Divine Doctor Du will come to check my pulse, and I won't survive until dawn!"
Phoenix said with a weak voice.
She was now at death's door, and even if Qin Yu knew the Peach Blossom Nine Needles, there was no guarantee he could save her.
"You... hurry and run... there's still time. Find a secluded place to swallow the Red Crystal, and after your breakthrough, help me kill Zhao Qilin!"
Phoenix continued intermittently, but her last few words carried an intense killing intent.
She had never imagined that Zhao Qilin, who treated her with utmost respect just a few days ago, would be so despicable and sneaky as to strike at her.
After all, everyone has to die, but she didn't want to die in a dark cave without seeing the light of day.
"Miss Phoenix, don't be so pessimistic. Let's try the Peach Blossom Nine Needles first!"
Qin Yu placed his cellphone on the rocky wall to act as a light. Then, he took out the silver needle box he carried and looked at Phoenix.
"As far as I know, to perform the Peach Blossom Nine Needles, one must be completely undressed, correct?"
Phoenix bit her lip, her eyebrows knitting together in a quandary.
She came from a mysterious place where the people didn't even use modern devices, which suggests how traditional and conservative their thinking was.
However, it was precisely because they hadn't been polluted by modern thought that they could retain their true nature, delve into martial arts, and develop human potential to its utmost. As a result, any disciple who came out of their families was a top-notch expert.
"Uh... yes."
Qin Yu nodded, seemingly understanding Phoenix's hesitancy. He chuckled bitterly and said, "Miss Phoenix, although I don't know where you come from, I can tell you that in modern hospitals' gynecological departments, male doctors are quite common. At this moment, you don't have to see me as a man!"
"...Alright then!"
Phoenix lightly bit her lower lip and eventually nodded slightly.
She was in her twenties; she didn't want to die yet.
"This is what we'll do, I'll turn around, you undress. Then, cover the key areas with your clothes!"
Qin Yu suggested after a moment's thought.
"...Mhm!"
The voice of Phoenix was as faint as a mosquito's, whether out of embarrassment or sheer weakness.
Indeed, in her current state, she had no strength left. If Qin Yu really intended to take advantage of her, he wouldn't need to bother with such complications.
"Huff...."
Qin Yu exhaled a murky breath and turned to face the rock wall. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "What method did you use in the room to make only me hear your voice?"
"Voice Transmission into Secret!"
While slowly taking off her long dress and laying it neatly on the ground, Phoenix explained, "One must break through to the Pill Holding Realm to use True Qi, compressing the voice into a straight line and directly transmitting it into the other person's ear. The precondition is that no one present can have a higher cultivation level than you, otherwise others would be able to hear it as well. It's somewhat superfluous; its practical use is not significant."
"Oh, so that's how it is. By the way, could you answer another question for me?"
Qin Yu really wanted to know how Phoenix knew his grandfather.
"You want to ask about Qin Qingfeng, don't you? Since he didn't tell you, you'll have to uncover the answer yourself. Of course, you'd better not go searching for the answer now--you are far too weak!"
Phoenix was very smart; even before Qin Yu could ask, she had already guessed what he wanted to inquire about.
"Err... then one last question. Who exactly are you, where do you come from, what realm are you in?"
Qin Yu asked in one breath.
"Ancient sect, Wu Clan, Channel-Opening Realm!"
Phoenix didn't avoid Qin Yu's question.
"Ancient sect? Wu Clan? Channel-Opening Realm?"
These three terms were all very unfamiliar to Qin Yu.
"After Pill Holding is the Channel-Opening, which is about opening the three hundred and sixty major acupoints in the human body, allowing True Qi to flow freely. This can bring combat power to a whole new level."
Indeed, Phoenix was no ordinary person, being one entire major realm higher than Pill Holding. If it weren't for being afflicted by the Soul-Separating Gu, Zhao Qilin and the likes would be crushed to death by just one of her fingers.
"Does this mean the Miaojiang Gu Clan is a branch of your lineage?"
When Qin Yu was at Leigong Mountain, Ghost Granny had mentioned that the ancestors of the Miaojiang Gu Clan were Chi You, who in turn was the leader of the Wu Clan.
"Correct!"
Phoenix was evidently aware of the existence of Miaojiang Gu Clan. That's why she carried a hint of disdain when Qin Yu had first mentioned the Miaojiang Gu Clan.
"Then is my grandfather also from the Wu Clan?"
Qin Yu couldn't help but ask out loud.
"No. As I said, you have to find the answer yourself!"
To Qin Yu's surprise, Phoenix negated the possibility.
"Oh, all right then!"
Qin Yu shrugged his shoulders.
He remembered his grandfather once saying that reaching Huajin was not the end of the martial path. There were higher realms beyond it, and now it seemed that after Pill Holding, the next realm was Channel-Opening.
Generally speaking, when martial artists cultivate vital energy, it is stored within their meridians. After breaking through to Pill Holding, it transforms into True Qi and is stored within the Dantian.
But Pill Holding could open three hundred and sixty major acupoints, allowing True Qi to circulate freely.
Tsk tsk, it's frightening to even think about the combat power of someone in the Channel-Opening Realm!
"I'm... ready!"
When Qin Yu was somewhat distracted, Phoenix's low voice came from behind him.
"Then I'm turning around now!"

After saying that, Qin Yu gave Phoenix a second or two to prepare mentally before he slowly turned around.
Before his eyes lay Phoenix's exposed snowy white skin.
Her arms were delicate and her legs were long.
Lying on her black dress, intimate garments covered her crucial areas.
But the more they covered and concealed, the more seductive it seemed.
Just those round, straight legs alone could make any man's blood surge, not to mention that devastatingly beautiful face that could bring disaster to both countries and people.
With a cascade of white hair, she added a mysterious and enchanting aura.
Her eyes were slightly closed, her eyelashes quivering gently, revealing her unsettled emotions.
