Marry the Demon Sect Girl with No Bride Price

Chapter 538 - 198: Sunflame Cloak

Qin Gengyun was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, knowing that his wife’s jealousy had been stirred again.

This time it wasn’t too bad; during the day, when there were many people, she still gave him face, waiting until nightfall to erupt.

Qin Gengyun explained, "My dear, although the Celestial Phoenix Maiden seems charming, her temperament is not even comparable to a child. I still prefer a gentle, understanding woman like you."

"Understanding?" Qiu Zhihe sneered, "Does that mean being indifferent while my husband flirts outside?"

Qin Gengyun, helpless, had to use his last trick, lunging forward to embrace Qiu Zhihe, refusing to let go as she punched and kicked him, then lowering his head to seal her icy soft lips with his own.

"Mmm..."

Qiu Zhihe still tried to struggle, but the moment her small mouth was sealed, her body went limp, completely losing its resistance.

Allowing Qin Gengyun to pick her up and carry her to the bedside.

"Husband, don’t."

Qiu Zhihe wrapped her arms around Qin Gengyun’s neck, panting:

"You advanced three small levels today, you need to stabilize your foundation, you mustn’t indulge recklessly."

Qin Gengyun knew that his wife was right. In truth, he only wanted to dispel her jealousy, so he gently placed Qiu Zhihe on the bed, holding her hand:

"I’ll listen to you, let’s cultivate together."

Qiu Zhihe glared at him: "You appear honest, yet you’re the slyest of all, always easily slipping by!"

Qin Gengyun laughed heartily. The couple sat cross-legged facing each other, closed their eyes, and began cultivating.

Two hours later.

Qin Gengyun opened his eyes, slowly exhaling a turbid breath.

Qiu Zhihe’s beautiful eyes followed suit, placing her small hand on his lower abdomen, concentrating for a moment, her face showing joy:

"Husband really is talented; in such a short time, you’ve already stabilized your foundation."

Then she exclaimed softly, her face showing surprise, "I didn’t notice during the day, but you have a bit of Divine Phoenix power within you?"

Qin Gengyun nodded: "I absorbed part of the Celestial Phoenix Maiden’s power, merged it into my Spirit Field, and made it my own."

Qiu Zhihe snorted: "If you listen to me, you wouldn’t only have this little bit of power!"

Qin Gengyun quickly changed the subject: "Dear, this bit of Divine Phoenix power, if integrated into the Body Cultivation Technique, would have miraculous effects."

"Oh?" Qiu Zhihe was somewhat curious: "It seems you already have an idea. How will you use it?"

Qin Gengyun got out of bed, walked to the center of the room, and smiled:

"My dear, watch closely."

As soon as the words fell, he activated the Upper Grade Body Cultivation Technique obtained from Shi Shuhong. His muscles swelled and became harder than Immortal Iron.

Then he mobilized the Divine Phoenix power within him.

In an instant, his entire body ignited with a thin layer of golden flame, making him look as if he were wearing a burning armor.

Qiu Zhihe, blessed with extraordinary talent, immediately saw through the intricacies and exclaimed with joy:

"You’ve integrated the Divine Phoenix power into the Body Cultivation Technique, so in close combat, you can not only enhance defense, but the Divine Phoenix Flame on your body surface can also continuously burn your enemies, making you virtually invincible in close quarters!"

Qin Gengyun gave a thumbs up: "Your insight is indeed sharp. This method can scorch opponents in close range, and if they aren’t defense-savvy, they collapse on contact, boosting my attack several levels!"

As for the inspiration for this trick, it actually came from an equipment in a game from his past life: the Sunflame Cloak.

At that moment, Qin Gengyun was like wearing a Sunflame Cloak, anyone close to him would suffer the continuous burning of the Divine Phoenix Flame.

Qiu Zhihe suddenly said, "Take out the Heaven-Reaching Staff."

Qin Gengyun was momentarily stunned, then immediately understood, laughing as he pulled out an embroidery needle from his bosom, which turned into a thick, long iron staff with a flick of the wind.

With a thought, the Heaven-Reaching Staff was instantly enveloped in Divine Phoenix Flame.

Qiu Zhihe nodded: "Covered with Divine Phoenix Flame, the power of the Heaven-Reaching Staff can increase by another 20%, and if your cultivation reaches the ninth layer of Golden Core, you won’t fear the Nascent Soul Realm."

Qin Gengyun suddenly thought of something, his expression curious, leaning close to Qiu Zhihe’s ear:

"Dear, do you remember when we got married, you said you had ’Ice and Fire Two Layers of Heaven’ in you?"

Qiu Zhihe was startled, her cheeks reddening slightly, glaring at him: "What are you planning now?"

Qin Gengyun whispered: "If we... when we do that, I cover it with the Divine Phoenix Flame, wouldn’t we be adding fire to fire?"

Qiu Zhihe instantly blushed, slapping him in embarrassment and vexation: "Husband, you’re so improper, always thinking of those shameful things!"

Qin Gengyun wrapped his arms around her soft waist: "Dear, didn’t you promise me to have a child? Why not try again tonight?"

Knock knock.

Just then, there was a knock on the door outside.

Qiu Zhihe quickly pushed Qin Gengyun away, tidying her hair and clothes, glaring at him: "Go answer the door quickly!"

Qin Gengyun had no choice but to open the door, only to find the Celestial Phoenix Maiden standing at the entrance.

Qin Gengyun was surprised: "Phoenix Maiden, so late, do you need something?"

The Celestial Phoenix Maiden, seemingly flustered from overhearing something, her beautiful face was flushed, adding to her allure. She hesitated for a moment and said to Qin Gengyun:

"I’m looking for your wife."

Qin Gengyun was taken aback: "My wife? Why are you looking for her?"

The Celestial Phoenix Maiden bit her lip, suddenly shouting into the room: "Dare you come out? I have something to say to you!"

Qin Gengyun was stunned; the tone sounded just like a woman confronting a heartless man.

Could there be some past between his wife and the Celestial Phoenix Maiden?

A moment later, Qiu Zhihe slowly appeared, telling Qin Gengyun: "I’ll be back shortly."

Qin Gengyun nodded: "Dear, I’ll wait for you."

He wasn’t worried about the Celestial Phoenix Maiden being harmful to Qiu Zhihe, given that her life was in his hands.

Qiu Zhihe walked out of the room, suddenly glancing back: "Husband, you’re not allowed to follow me secretly."

Qin Gengyun chuckled silently: "Alright, I won’t follow you."

It seems there really was some history between his wife and the Celestial Phoenix Maiden. Dear, this time you’re the one with the wandering heart.

Qiu Zhihe and the Celestial Phoenix Maiden walked silently to the back of the mountain, reaching a secluded peak.

The Celestial Phoenix Maiden stopped, abruptly turning to face Qiu Zhihe:

"Who are you really?"

Qiu Zhihe said calmly: "I am a Danxia Peak Inner Sect Disciple of the Zhenyang Sect, Ruo Mei, also your Master’s wife. You should address me as Mistress."

The Celestial Phoenix Maiden glared fiercely at Qiu Zhihe, as if trying to see through her: "I found the aura of someone I know in your husband’s body; do you recognize it?"

Qiu Zhihe remained composed: "Whose aura did you discover?"

The Celestial Phoenix Maiden bit her lip, clenching her fists tightly, pronouncing each word:

"Xia Qinglian!"

Qiu Zhihe said nothing.

BOOM!

The Celestial Phoenix Maiden’s golden wings unfolded behind her, her body enshrouded in Divine Phoenix Flame, even her enchanting eyes turned into dazzling gold!

She stared unblinkingly at Xia Qinglian, her eyes filled with overwhelming flames of anger:

"You are Xia Qinglian, aren’t you? Since the day I lost to you, I haven’t slept a peaceful night. Today, I will get my revenge!"
