Chapter 591: Chapter 251: Mother-in-Law Assists Me
In the end, Qin Gengyun and Qiu Zhihe did not sleep.
Since they couldn’t do what they wanted, Qiu Zhihe simply pulled Qin Gengyun up:
"Husband, tomorrow when your spiritual power is fully restored, Su Hongling will definitely seek Magical Combat with you. Have you thought about how to respond?"
Qin Gengyun shook his head helplessly: "I am at the Sixth-Layer Golden Core, Su Hongling is at the Eighth-Layer, and in terms of talent and combat power, she has the advantage. I can only see if my body can withstand her Hammer."
Qiu Zhihe smiled: "Today, when you fought that Qiongqi, did you unintentionally fix it for a moment?"
Qin Gengyun nodded: "Wife, you are indeed perceptive. At that time, I was also puzzled as to why that Qiongqi suddenly stopped moving. Later, I thought it must be the power of your master’s Residual Soul."
"Yes, my master is now fused with your body. If guided properly, you can wield her power yourself."
"So, wife, you mean to use the Body Fixing Technique of this Residual Soul to deal with Su Hongling?"
Qiu Zhihe corrected him: "It’s about making Su Hongling your whetstone to help you master the power of the Residual Soul more proficiently, which might be amazingly effective in future conflicts."
Qin Gengyun was startled: "Using the Thunder Sword Fairy as a whetstone? Wife, you really dare to think big!"
Qiu Zhihe proudly smiled: "So what if it’s the Thunder Sword Fairy? Isn’t she meant to aid my husband’s cultivation!"
Qin Gengyun also laughed, pinching her cheek: "Wife, you’re so adorable!"
Qiu Zhihe glared at him once: "Husband, be serious now. Try to channel the power of the Residual Soul on me."
Qin Gengyun stopped fooling around, focused his mind, carefully sensing the Residual Soul of Nalan Yan within him. Using his Divine Sense, he slowly approached, extending a thread, trying to enter the Residual Soul and draw out a bit of chilling energy.
Qin Gengyun’s body trembled as cold sweat formed on his forehead.
It was his first time controlling his Divine Sense to touch a soul. In that instant, it was like falling into an icy abyss, fireworks seemed to explode before his eyes, and everything felt dizzy and surreal, as if his body was floating.
"Husband, try it on me."
His wife’s gentle voice echoed, and Qin Gengyun struggled to open his eyes, looking at Qiu Zhihe. A faint whitish glow flashed in his eyes.
But it disappeared in an instant.
Gasping for breath, Qin Gengyun said to Qiu Zhihe: "Wife, did you feel anything?"
Qiu Zhihe felt carefully: "Just a little bit of chilly energy, not much else."
Seeing Qin Gengyun looking a bit disheartened, she stepped forward to kiss his cheek, encouraging him: "No worries, husband, let’s try again!"
After saying that, she stepped back two steps, opening her arms, looking ready to welcome her husband’s challenge.
Seeing this, Qin Gengyun couldn’t lose heart, he once again used his Divine Sense to delve into the Residual Soul within, gritting his teeth to endure that dizzying sensation, looking at Qiu Zhihe.
"Wife, can you feel anything now?"
"Huh? Husband, did you exert force just now?"
"..."
"Husband, don’t get discouraged, let’s keep trying!"
Thus, the room was filled with the continuous sounds of the couple training and encouraging each other.
...
"Father, Mother! Don’t leave me!"
"Father, I’m sorry, I couldn’t protect my brother."
"Father, please don’t kill my parents, I’ll do anything you say."
"Ah!!"
The night was deep.
Suddenly, a hoarse whisper echoed in a room, and in the darkness, a soft, gentle figure suddenly sat up on the bed.
Her smooth forehead was drenched in fragrant sweat, her gentle eyes were filled with terror, her chest rising and falling until it finally calmed down.
Wei Wan had another nightmare.
In fact, since entering the South Demon’s land, she’s been having almost the same nightmare every night.
In the dream, she repeatedly watched her mother and father abandon her while she was still in swaddling clothes.
Time and again she watched her father kill her parents.
But she was never able to see her parents’ faces clearly.
Wei Wan got out of bed, taking off her sweat-soaked clothes, revealing a beautifully contoured body.
This body, if it gained one more pound would be considered fat, and if it lost one, it would be too thin, a practically perfect masterpiece of creation.
Unfortunately, this perfect body was covered in hideous scars, like a beautiful vase riddled with cracks, as if it could shatter at any moment.
Wei Wan took out a set of cyan long dresses from her Storage Bag and put them on, walking out of the house.
Outside was a small river, the moonlight cast upon the water reflecting a sheet of white.
Three more days, and she would reach Wind Bell Village.
Wei Wan stood by the river, blankly staring at the moon’s reflection in the water.
Beside the bright moon, there was a delicate, pale face.
"Xiaowu, once I find my parents, I’ll return to Zhenyang Sect and let you kill me..."
...
The next day.
When Qin Gengyun and Qiu Zhihe walked out of the house, they saw Liu Su already sitting by the river cultivating.
The couple exchanged a glance, both nodding slightly.
Liu Su had excellent talent, but she was too lazy.
Now with Cheng Qingyu as her enemy, it might just encourage her diligent cultivation, which wouldn’t be a bad thing.
At this time, Su Hongling came out of another house. She carried a big Hammer and flashed in front of Qin Gengyun, sniffing around him, suddenly laughing:
"Your spiritual power has recovered. Come, let’s have a match again!"
After speaking, Su Hongling added: "And this time, don’t you dare trick me into lowering my cultivation level!"
Qin Gengyun glanced at Qiu Zhihe beside him, a faint undetectable smile appeared at the corner of his lips, then he earnestly cupped his hands to Su Hongling:
"That day I was in a hurry to save two junior sisters, and had no choice but to use such a tactic. I apologize to Fairy Su."
Su Hongling was taken aback and waved her hand: "Stop the chatter, come and fight!"
This combative demeanor was quite like Little Hammer, only one was tall and flat, the other short and flat.
Qin Gengyun became even more sincere: "To show my sincerity, I will lower my cultivation to the First-Layer Golden Core today, allowing Fairy Su to hammer me!"
Su Hongling hurriedly said: "No need! Use your full strength, only then will it feel good to fight!"
Qin Gengyun replied: "But doing so makes me uneasy, considering I once deceived Fairy Su."
After saying this, he genuinely reduced his cultivation level, lowering his spiritual power to the First-Layer Golden Core.
Su Hongling widened her eyes: "What’s the point of fighting when your cultivation is so low?"
Looking extremely guilty, Qin Gengyun said: "I just feel I owe you if I don’t do this!"
Su Hongling gazed coldly at him, and suddenly her spiritual power drastically decreased, her cultivation also dropping to First-Layer Golden Core.
"Okay, now our cultivation is the same, can we fight?"
Qin Gengyun drew out the Heaven-Reaching Staff and bowed to Su Hongling: "Fairy Su, please... Mother-in-law, help me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes emitted a whitish glow, focusing on Su Hongling.
With her cultivation reduced to the First-Layer Golden Core, Su Hongling couldn’t resist the power of the Residual Soul and was immediately ensnared.
"My body... can’t move?"
Suddenly, a black, thick, and long iron rod came with a whistling sound, hitting Su Hongling hard.
With just a whoosh, Su Hongling was already sent flying, quickly becoming a small red dot in the sky, yelling angrily:
"You scoundrel, you’ve tricked me again!"
