Chapter 97: Observation Mirror Range Improvement
"Even I haven't reached the point of looking down on Heaven Rank Cultivation Techniques," Chen Qing shook his head.
As he spoke, he roughly flipped through the Cultivation Technique in his hand a few times before placing it back on the bookshelf.
Seeing this, Xia Qingyue frowned slightly, "Since that's the case, why does Husband only glance at them briefly before putting them back?"
"Because I've already comprehended them to Great Perfection…"
Chen Qing stopped mid-sentence, suddenly remembering that he hadn't told Xia Qingyue about his Heaven-Defying Comprehension Ability yet.
Upon hearing that half-sentence, Xia Qingyue looked surprised, "Husband can comprehend Heaven Rank Cultivation Techniques to the Great Perfection Realm just by glancing at them?"
It wasn't suspicion, but rather incredulity.
Even she, who had successfully proven the Emperor Realm, couldn't do such a thing within a hundred years.
"That's right," Chen Qing affirmed with a nod.
Immediately, he reached out and took down another Heaven Rank High Grade Cultivation Technique named "Icy Moon Blade," flipped through it a few times, and placed it back on the bookshelf.
Then, he took a step closer, wrapped his arm around Xia Qingyue's slender waist, and said to her, "Wife, hold on tight."
"Mm." Xia Qingyue didn't resist at all, naturally reaching out to embrace Chen Qing.
In a blink of an eye, the two had instantly appeared on the rooftop of the Gongfa Pavilion.
As Chen Qing raised his hand, the silver light above his head intensified, and the single bright moon had unknowingly transformed into two!
'No, that's not right!'
Xia Qingyue looked closely before realizing that one of the bright moons was formed by Chen Qing activating the "Icy Moon Blade" Cultivation Technique.
To be able to do this, he had clearly Cultivated to the Mahayana Realm!
"Husband's Comprehension Ability is truly Heaven-Defying!" Xia Qingyue exclaimed from the bottom of her heart.
And this scene was also witnessed by the new Sect Master.
He never would have thought that in such a short time, Chen Qing had comprehended the sect's supreme Cultivation Technique to a profound Realm that even the former Sect Master, after a hundred years, had never managed to enter!
Initially, he wondered why a top-tier expert like Xia Qingyue, who was as cold as ice when facing others, would unreservedly show all her tenderness to Chen Qing.
He didn't understand why he had this qualification?
Now, the new Sect Master finally solved this puzzle.
Why else? Of course, it was because Chen Qing's strength was even more terrifying!
"Comprehending a Heaven Rank High Grade Cultivation Technique to the Great Perfection Realm in half an incense stick's time—this kind of thing can probably only be done by Peak Quasi-Emperors and Immortal Emperor-level experts, right?" the new Sect Master sighed with emotion.
Little did he know that in that half an incense stick's time, the Heaven Rank Cultivation Techniques Chen Qing had comprehended to Great Perfection were not just the "Icy Moon Blade."
Give Chen Qing a little more time, and all the Heaven Rank Cultivation Techniques in the entire Hantian Sect's Gongfa Pavilion would be completely mastered by Chen Qing.
Back to Chen Qing.
After he displayed his Heaven-Defying Comprehension Ability to Xia Qingyue, the two returned to the Gongfa Pavilion.
In addition, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he thought of a brand new method for gaining rewards.
Since Cultivation could be transferred, why couldn't Cultivation Techniques be transmitted?
Chen Qing decided to give it a try and asked Xia Qingyue, "Wife, do you want to master these Heaven Rank Cultivation Techniques faster?"
"Yes! Of course, I do, but I don't have the same Prodigy-like Comprehension Ability as Husband. To master all of them would probably take some time," Xia Qingyue replied.
"As long as Wife wishes it, your husband can make it happen for you," Chen Qing said, raising his hand and touching Xia Qingyue's glabella with his fingertip.
He intended to transform the method of transmitting Cultivation into transmitting Cultivation Techniques.
However, the actual operation turned out to be much more complex than Chen Qing had imagined.
To slowly overcome it?
Chen Qing didn't have the patience for that and directly chose to use one Epiphany opportunity!
"[Epiphany opportunity in use…]"
"[Epiphany successful! Congratulations to the host for comprehending an exclusive Cultivation Technique!]"
One Epiphany opportunity immediately gave Chen Qing the ability to impart Cultivation Techniques to others, and it was a complete impartation.
There was no need for the other party to slowly comprehend it after the impartation; it was Great Perfection in a single thought!
"Husband?" Seeing Chen Qing stunned for a long time without speaking, Xia Qingyue slightly raised her eyes, her large, watery eyes full of doubt.
"I wasn't ready just now, but I am now." Chen Qing closed the System panel, recovered, and continued to impart Cultivation Techniques to Xia Qingyue.
The first one he imparted to her was the "Icy Moon Blade" that he had just demonstrated.
Xia Qingyue had just seen Chen Qing use this Cultivation Technique not long ago, so she was very clear and couldn't hide the shock in her heart, saying, "Husband, I, I also reached Great Perfection with this 'Icy Moon Blade' Cultivation Technique?!"
Aside from surprise, there was more confusion.
"[Successful Wife Pampering! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a random reward: Endless Storage Space!]"
"Don't rush, there's more," Chen Qing accepted the Wife Pampering reward and planned to impart all five hundred-plus Cultivation Techniques present to Xia Qingyue. This would both help her quickly grow stronger and allow him to receive rewards—killing two birds with one stone.
"This time, it's the Star Spirit Refining Method!" As he spoke, Xia Qingyue mastered another Heaven Rank Cultivation Technique.
"[Successful Wife Pampering! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a random reward: Heaven Rank Top Grade Weapon God-Slaying Bow +1!]"
"Nine Revolutions Creation Scripture!"
"[Successful Wife Pampering! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a random reward: Immortal Brew +100!]"
"Ancient Desolate Overlord Body Technique!"
"[Successful Wife Pampering! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a random reward: Demonic God Bloodline +1!]"
…
Just like that, Chen Qing managed to accumulate over five hundred Wife Pampering rewards.
Because he and Xia Qingyue had bared their hearts to each other, their favorability was maxed out, and the quality of these rewards was also maxed out.
Chen Qing felt that if this continued, he might preemptively prove the Immortal Emperor Cultivation before completing the main quest!
Looking at Xia Qingyue, she had a completely bewildered expression, standing numbly in place.
Her worldview had been severely impacted.
She had never imagined that in half an incense stick's time, one could comprehend over five hundred Heaven Rank Cultivation Techniques, and every single one of them had reached the Mahayana Realm!
Even though this had truly happened to her, Xia Qingyue still found it hard to believe.
Chen Qing, on the other hand, didn't think so much. After collecting the rewards, he was busy sifting through which ones to keep and which ones to use on Xia Qingyue, to make his Empress wife even more unrivaled in the world!
At the same time.
Da Mang Mountain.
Boom!
As a powerful Aura vibrated outwards, Ye Feng opened his eyes, clenched his fists, and excitedly declared, "Great! I've finally Broken through to the Body Integration Realm!"
Breaking through to the Body Integration Realm took him a bit more time, preventing him from performing his daily sign-in on time as before.
Fortunately, the sign-in opportunity wouldn't disappear just because the time was late; it just needed to be used within a day.
"Heaven bless me, give me a powerful reward that allows me to ascend to the heavens in one step!" Ye Feng clasped his hands together and sincerely prayed.
"[Daily sign-in in progress…]"
"[Daily sign-in successful! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Quasi-Emperor Cultivation Experience Pack +1!]"
"Quasi-Emperor Cultivation Experience Pack?!"
Ye Feng quickly clicked to view the detailed description.
"[Quasi-Emperor Cultivation Experience Pack: After use, the host can directly reach the Quasi-Emperor Realm!]"
"This?!" Upon seeing the reward description clearly, Ye Feng excitedly shot up from the ground.
After repeatedly confirming that he hadn't misread, his lips were so excited they were almost splitting to his earlobes.
Without further ado, he immediately used it!
"[Quasi-Emperor Cultivation Experience Pack in use…]"
"[Use successful! Host's current Cultivation Realm: First Stage Quasi-Emperor!]"
"Quasi-Emperor? I'm a Quasi-Emperor just like that?" Ye Feng found it hard not to doubt whether everything before him was real.
After repeatedly refreshing and checking his personal attribute panel, and repeatedly confirming that the Cultivation column read "First Stage Quasi-Emperor."
Only then did Ye Feng dare to believe that his promotion to Quasi-Emperor was absolutely not false.
He put his hands on his hips and laughed wildly, "An eighteen-year-old Quasi-Emperor, who else?! I ask, who else?! Even a Genius must bow their head before me!"
After the excitement, the calmed Ye Feng did not rush to Cultivate.
Sitting cross-legged, he muttered, "With my current Cultivation, the observation range of the observation mirror should be enough to cover the Great Wu Dynasty! I wonder how Father and little sister are doing?"
"Xia Qinyue, are you alright?"
***
Chapter 98: Childhood sweethearts have found their true love
Thinking about how long it had been since he last saw his closest and dearest, Ye Feng's eyes were slightly sore and moist.
He raised his hand to wipe away the tear that had squeezed out from the corner of his eye, and Ye Feng impatiently opened the observation mirror, using his mind to control it, continuously zooming the image in the mirror towards the direction of the Great Wu Dynasty.
"We've reached Great Wu!"
Having spent eighteen years in Great Wu, the place where he grew up, he naturally recognized it at a glance.
It was a pity that, apart from Xia Qingyue and his Family, the Great Wu Dynasty had never left a good impression on Ye Feng.
Originally, when he was framed, Ye Feng had once fantasized that, given his relationship with Xia Qingyue, and his future status as the princess's consort, Martial Emperor Xia Cheng should have stepped forward to vouch for him.
Who would have thought that the greater his expectation, the greater his disappointment.
Ye Feng knew that the Wu Emperor had always looked down on his humble origins, but he never expected that in such a matter, he would not even be willing to lend a helping hand.
Fortunately, Ye Feng was a lucky man, not only surviving the great disaster but also Awakening the Daily Seclusion Sign-in System.
Ye Feng wanted to see what kind of expression Xia Cheng would have on his face when he emerged from seclusion with invincible cultivation and descended upon Great Wu; would he still dare to look down on him!
Seeing that the image in the observation mirror had already returned to the Ye Family, Ye Feng quickly shook his head, clearing out unnecessary thoughts.
He wanted to know how his father and little sister were doing now, and whether they had been implicated because of him.
Soon, the image shifted to the courtyard.
"Little sister!" Seeing that familiar beautiful figure, Ye Feng immediately became excited, raising his voice and stepping forward.
He subconsciously reached out, wanting to grab her.
"That's great! Little sister, you're still alive!"
Ye Feng had always worried that the incident where he offended the powerful would bring disaster upon his Family.
Now, seeing Ye Linger safe and sound, still practicing her sword in the courtyard, the heart that had been hanging high finally settled down considerably.
"It must have been Xia Qinyue who stepped forward and protected Ling'er."
Ye Feng was willing to believe it was so.
A moment later, Ye Feng excitedly watched another familiar figure enter the observation mirror's range, "Father!"
The person who came was Ye Feng's father, Ye Hai.
"Ling'er, you've been practicing from morning until now. Have some tea and rest for a while. Don't overwork yourself."
Hearing Ye Hai say this, Ye Feng felt very strange, "How could little sister suddenly abandon literature for martial arts? Is she trying to avenge me?"
Thinking of this, Ye Feng immediately became worried, "Little sister, you must not act impulsively. Wait, wait until your brother comes out of seclusion, and I will kill everyone in the world who dares to wrong my Ye Family!"
However, Ye Linger's next words greatly disappointed Ye Feng.
"Father, Young Master Chen has given our Ye Family a new lease on life. If not for him, you and I, father and daughter, would have long been harmed and died in prison by villains. Therefore, I must become strong as quickly as possible, strong enough to repay his kindness!" Ye Linger said with a determined look.
"Young Master Chen?" These three words left Ye Feng utterly confused, "Who is Young Master Chen? Which Young Master Chen?"
Then he heard Ye Hai's voice again, "Yes, Young Master Chen not only persuaded the Wu Emperor to order our release but also had the entire Zhao Clan, who framed us, executed, clearing our Ye Family's name. Such great kindness must be repaid!"
Hearing Ye Hai say this, Ye Feng was even more puzzled. In his memory, there was no such Young Master Chen who could do this much for the Ye Family.
Exhaling through his nostrils, Ye Feng muttered to himself, "However, from what my little sister and father said, this person indeed has shown great kindness to my Ye Family. Very well, when I come out of seclusion, I will certainly not treat you shabbily."
Ye Feng thought very clearly. At this current speed, when he emerged from seclusion, proving the Dao and becoming a Great Emperor was a certainty, beyond a doubt. At that time, with just one word, he could make this so-called "Young Master Chen's" entire Family, from one person's attainment of the Dao to even their chickens and dogs ascending to heaven, become a top Family in the entire Tianxuan Continent!
Who made Ye Feng always adhere to the principle of repaying a drop of kindness with a gushing spring?
"It's just a pity that this observation mirror can only be used for observation and cannot be used to converse with the people inside. Otherwise, I really would like to ask Father and little sister who that Young Master Chen is."
Just as Ye Feng was thinking this, he heard Ye Hai say, "Everyone in Great Wu says that Young Master Chen is a profligate who disregards human lives, the son of a treacherous minister. It turns out he has always been biding his time, hiding his true abilities. With such Heart-Nature, he will surely become a formidable figure in the future."
"Young Master Chen is already a great figure," Ye Linger said admiringly.
If, through the phrase "a profligate who disregards human lives," Ye Feng still couldn't determine who the Young Master Chen they were referring to was.
Then, through the four words "son of a treacherous minister," Ye Feng immediately confirmed Young Master Chen's true identity.
"Chen Xiong's son, Chen Qing!"
When Ye Feng mentioned the name Chen Qing, his expression was clearly displeased.
Although he had no direct interactions with Chen Qing, he had heard Xia Qingyue complain that Chen Qing had once molested her.
If not for Chen Xiong, the father, wielding immense power in the court, which Ye Feng couldn't afford to offend, he would have drawn his sword and killed Chen Qing on the spot.
Ye Feng was extremely selfish about his possessions and women; he couldn't tolerate any impurity in his eyes.
But precisely such a person had now become the savior of his closest relatives, leaving Ye Feng's emotions very complex.
"Alas..." He sighed.
He molested Xia Qinyue is a fact, and he saved Father and little sister is also a fact. Since that's the case, it can be considered making amends for his past mistakes, and nothing happened.
After weighing the pros and cons, Ye Feng decided that when he emerged from seclusion, he would neither repay kindness nor seek revenge against Chen Qing.
Just as Ye Feng said, Chen Qing's actions were considered making amends for his past mistakes. By saving his little sister and father, he earned the right not to be retaliated against for having molested Xia Qingyue after Ye Feng emerged from seclusion.
As Ye Feng planned to go see Xia Qingyue, a remark from Ye Linger caught his attention, "I wonder how Big Brother is doing now? Is he alive or dead?"
"Don't mention him. If it weren't for his arrogance and constant troublemaking, how could the Ye Family members have died innocently, leaving only the two of us?" Ye Hai became angry when this matter was brought up.
"Father..." Ye Feng could not refute this.
He had indeed overestimated his own strength and sought too much attention, leading to the tragic deaths of most of the Ye Family members.
"Even if he is truly alive, half a year has passed, and he hasn't even sent a single letter back. I consider him dead." Ye Hai's tone was severe.
"I think Brother must have his reasons." Ye Linger said softly, seeing Ye Hai's anger.
"Reasons? What reasons could he have? It's a good thing that girl Xia Qinyue is now with a good man. If she were with him, she would only suffer in vain!" Ye Hai grew angrier as he spoke.
That girl Xia Qinyue... is with a good man??
Ye Feng's eyes suddenly sharpened, extracting key information from Ye Hai's words of complaint about him.
He repeatedly wondered if his ears were playing tricks on him, causing him to mishear.
***
Chapter 99: Luck Damaged
"Father! Explain yourself, what do you mean by Xia Qinyue has found a good match?!"
Even though he knew Ye Hai behind the observation mirror couldn't possibly hear him, Ye Feng, in a fit of impulse, rushed over, grabbed the mirror frame, and demanded frantically.
He had still been fantasizing about emerging from his seclusion thirty years later and living a loving life with Xia Qingyue, adventuring together as a devoted couple until old age. Who would have thought that after only half a year, she would… stray!
"Father! Speak! Explain yourself!" Ye Feng screamed hysterically, his eyes red.
He desperately wanted to know who the "good match" Ye Hai spoke of truly was.
Ye Linger, completely unaware that she was being spied on by her older brother, nodded and said with a smile, "Yes, Sister Xia Qinyue and Young Master Chen are indeed a good match."
"It's just, what if Big Brother is still alive and comes back to see this…" Ye Linger didn't want to provoke Ye Hai, and her voice became softer and softer.
Little did she know, her every word and action were being seen by Ye Feng.
He didn't need to come back; right now, his mental state had already collapsed!
With spiritual power covering his fists, he punched wildly, venting the rage in his heart.
Fortunately, there was a barrier protecting him; otherwise, with his current Cultivation, if he continued like this, the mountain would collapse, and the entire Immortal Cave would turn into ruins sooner or later.
"Hoo… ha… hoo…" After closing the observation mirror, Ye Feng gasped for breath, utterly exhausted.
He walked to the wall, slammed his fist hard against it, lowered his head, and gritted his teeth, "Xia Qinyue, I love you so much, how, how could you betray me?"
"Did you forget the vows we made to each other?"
His complaints were endless, and large tears rolled down from the corners of his eyes.
This feeling of being betrayed by his family and his beloved, felt like sharp daggers piercing deeply into Ye Feng's heart, making him wish he were dead.
He even had a fleeting thought of ending it all.
What was the point of living?
"No! This isn't right! Xia Qinyue would never betray me!"
Suddenly, Ye Feng's eyes changed, and he firmed his resolve, "The reason Father and little sister were able to turn their danger into safety must be because Xia Qinyue pretended to show favor to that bastard to save them!"
He truly didn't believe that his and Xia Qingyue's relationship of over ten years could be so easily stolen by Chen Qing.
"Yes! That's right! It must be like this!"
"No! I can't keep overthinking and misunderstanding Xia Qinyue. The top priority now is to speed up my Cultivation, become stronger earlier, and find a way to exit seclusion ahead of time!"
Ye Feng worried that if he continued to delay, even if Xia Qingyue's feelings for him were deep, she wouldn't be able to resist Chen Qing's increasingly close demonic clutches, unable to cope, and eventually completely fall…
Ye Feng thought that Xia Qingyue was only temporarily compromising and showing a little goodwill to Chen Qing; she wouldn't immediately give herself to him. There was still room for redemption!
Cultivate! He must Cultivate immediately!
Ye Feng sat down cross-legged and began to Cultivate desperately, even if it led to Qi Deviation. As long as he could become stronger, as long as he could exit seclusion, he would spare no effort!
He had, of course, also asked the System if he could shorten the seclusion time or let him out for a day to resolve everything before returning.
The reply he received was a cold [No].
There was no other way; he could only honestly follow the path of Cultivating to become stronger…
Having hope was always better than having no hope.
'Xia Qinyue, wait for me, you must wait for me!'
…
Back at Hantian Sect.
After imparting all the Cultivation Techniques to Xia Qingyue and exchanging them for wife-doting rewards, the two had already left the Gongfa Pavilion and arrived at a brand-new residence arranged by the new Sect Master, one that no one had ever used.
Chen Qing and Xia Qingyue decided to stay there tonight.
Taking this opportunity, Chen Qing took out one-third of the wife-doting rewards he had previously screened and gave them to Xia Qingyue.
To fill Xia Qingyue's Spiritual Root talent to full level in all attributes, or the Myriad Ancient Heavenly Phoenix Bloodline, the Undying and Imperishable Body…
These things, to Chen Qing, were either duplicates or useless, but that didn't mean they were cheap.
Each item, when brought out, was a treasure that even Quasi-Emperors and Great Emperors could not easily ignore, comparable to Heaven and Earth's ultimate treasures. Once leaked, it would surely easily attract the covetous eyes of multiple forces, leading to great battles, endless until one side was dead!
Xia Qingyue already owed Chen Qing enough, and she didn't mind owing a little more, accepting everything.
Because only by becoming stronger would she be qualified to repay him!
She began the Fusion of her Spiritual Root, the Myriad Ancient Heavenly Phoenix Bloodline, and the Undying and Imperishable Body…
Chen Qing assisted her from the side, accelerating the process.
The first thing Xia Qingyue said after completing all the Fusions and opening her eyes was, "Husband, I feel like I've entered a new Domain, higher than that of a Great Emperor."
And Chen Qing replied, "The world only knows that the strongest in this world are Great Emperors, but they do not know that above Great Emperors, there are Supreme Great Emperors and Supreme Grand Emperors. Even Supreme Grand Emperors are not the end of Cultivation."
"So, what is Husband's current Cultivation?" Xia Qingyue asked curiously.
"Supreme Grand Emperor," Chen Qing answered.
"Supreme Grand Emperor! Husband is so strong!" Xia Qingyue naturally snuggled into Chen Qing's embrace.
Chen Qing naturally reached out and hugged her.
Xia Qingyue smiled faintly.
"It's getting late, let's rest early," Chen Qing suddenly said after a while.
"Ah?" Xia Qingyue looked up, her expression slightly disappointed.
"Ah?" Chen Qing deliberately repeated Xia Qingyue's tone.
"No, nothing," Xia Qingyue said, avoiding his gaze, "I, I meant yes."
"My wife is truly a little glutton, an insatiable little glutton," Chen Qing teased.
"Wha, what do you mean!" Xia Qingyue, of course, knew what Chen Qing meant by "little glutton" and "insatiable little glutton."
She puffed out her cheeks and gave Chen Qing a coquettish glance, "It was clearly Husband who said he wanted to raise a daughter, I was just, just…"
"My wife thinks so much for me, yet I judged a gentleman with the heart of a villain. I truly shouldn't have."
"Since that's the case, let me make it up to my wife with my actions!"
"Hey! That tickles! You, you're bullying me~"
Though she said Chen Qing was bullying her, her hands wrapped around Chen Qing's neck like snakes…
As soon as Chen Qing separated his lips, she greedily chased after them again.
Her eyes were so full of affection they seemed to shimmer.
…
Da Mang Mountain.
"Pfft!" Ye Feng's expression changed. He clutched his chest and spat out a large mouthful of blood, splattering half a meter away.
"Strange! Why can't I calm my heart? Why is my heart always uneasy?" He was puzzled.
"Could it be that I'm too eager for quick success, and there's a tendency for Qi Deviation?"
Ye Feng was not Chen Qing; he wasn't a Rebirth person and hadn't read novels to accumulate experience. How could he know that his Luck was actually damaged?
After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't make heads or tails of it.
He simply stopped thinking about it, forcibly ignored this indescribable sense of anxiety, and focused on Cultivation.
Because besides Cultivating, he couldn't do anything else.
***
Chapter 100: Revealing one's true feelings
The next day.
"Husband, why are you looking at me like that?" Xia Qingyue's face flushed under Chen Qing's direct gaze.
"I'm just curious, where did my pure-as-water wife go?" Chen Qing asked earnestly.
"It's only because husband is too addictive."
Xia Qingyue's words, on the contrary, made Chen Qing's words, which were on the tip of his tongue, impossible to say.
He never expected to be outmaneuvered by Xia Qingyue.
Seeing Chen Qing speechless, Xia Qingyue smiled triumphantly.
Chen Qing then flipped over, supporting himself with his hands beside her face, and leaned over her, "No, the more I think about it, the angrier I get. This husband must punish you properly!"
"Ah! No~"
Xia Qingyue "resisted" cooperatively.
Although it was early in the morning, enjoying marital bliss, enhancing feelings, and increasing the probability of early pregnancy to obtain the main quest reward, Immortal Emperor cultivation, what's not to like?
Mainly, once this Pandora's Box was opened, the desire in Xia Qingyue's heart grew stronger day by day. As her husband, Chen Qing had to take responsibility for extinguishing the fire.
Secondly, as a destined villain, being able to revel in daily pleasures with the fated heroine was a great satisfaction, both physically and psychologically!
"Successful in doting on wife! Congratulations to the Host for receiving a random reward: Heaven Rank High-grade Magic Treasure Divine Stone +1!"
Still the same old saying, how can this not be considered doting on one's wife?
After the intense battle.
The two did not leave the bed until noon. During their rest, they confided in each other and chatted about their shared future.
"Oh, right, husband, regarding Uncle Ye and Ye Linger, I'm truly grateful that you interceded with Father Emperor for them. Not only did you clear their names, but you also severely punished all the wicked people, giving them justice." Xia Qingyue suddenly brought up this matter.
"You already know?" Chen Qing feigned surprise.
In reality, he had already received the wife-doting reward, it was just a matter of convenience.
While receiving the wife-doting reward, he could also make the Ye family, the protagonist's closest people, owe him a huge favor.
At that time, even if the protagonist truly emerged from seclusion and wanted to act against him, Ye Hai and Ye Linger would certainly not stand idly by, and a drama of turning against each other would unfold.
This would inevitably harm the protagonist's Luck!
"Father Emperor told me everything." Xia Qingyue nodded, "Besides that, you're also sending people to look for him, aren't you?"
"Don't worry, I'm just sending people out to confirm if Senior Brother Ye is safe, and I won't put him to death." Chen Qing explained.
"I wasn't worried about that, nor do I have any complaints about my husband. I just feel that you've done too much for me, and I don't know when I'll be able to repay this kindness." Xia Qingyue quickly explained, fearing Chen Qing would misunderstand her.
"Since we are husband and wife, there's no such thing as repaying." Chen Qing told Xia Qingyue not to take such a small matter to heart.
However, he knew better than anyone that the more he said this, the more Xia Qingyue would be unable to let it go.
She would agree verbally, but in her heart, she would desperately want to repay him.
"Xia Qinyue, seriously, if Senior Brother Ye is still alive, you..."
Chen Qing's words were only halfway out when Xia Qingyue raised her jade finger and gently pressed it against his lips, interrupting him: "He and I only have the kindness of saving my life, not the affection between a man and a woman. Even if he is truly alive and returns safely, I will never leave or betray my husband!"
Chen Qing did not rush to speak, but simply stretched out his arms and tightly embraced Xia Qingyue.
After a long while, he finally, with a relieved and assured tone, softly uttered a few words, "That's great..."
And Xia Qingyue, feeling how much Chen Qing valued her, was even more devoted.
Just as she said, now Xia Qingyue only felt gratitude for Ye Feng, the gratitude for saving her life.
Time passed, no one knew for how long.
"Junior Martial Uncle, you, you can't go in." A voice suddenly came from outside the courtyard.
"That voice, it seems to be the new Sect Master of Hantian Sect." Xia Qingyue gave her judgment.
"The Sect has been seized. As a member of Hantian Sect, how can I not avenge my deceased Senior Brothers and Junior Brothers? As for you, have you forgotten who you are after being elevated to the position of Sect Master?" Another voice came out.
Chen Qing and Xia Qingyue almost simultaneously confirmed the other party's intention and Realm.
They were here to cause trouble!
Like the previous Grand Elders, they were at the Quasi-Emperor Realm.
"Junior Martial Uncle, you've been traveling overseas for too long, there are some things in the Sect you don't know. In short, absolutely do not act rashly!" The new Sect Master was still trying his best to persuade.
The sound of a sword being drawn, "If you dare to block me again, don't blame me for not considering our past relationship and cutting you down as well!"
"Husband, I'll handle it." Xia Qingyue made to get up.
Chen Qing, however, grabbed Xia Qingyue's hand, "Such small fries, there's no need for you, my wife, to personally take action."
'Small fries?'
In Xia Qingyue's opinion, throughout the entire Tianxuan Continent, only her husband would call a Three-Realm Quasi-Emperor a small fry.
Just as Xia Qingyue was about to ask how Chen Qing planned to deal with the Hantian Sect's Junior Martial Uncle outside the door.
She saw a book and a pen floating in the air.
If Xia Qingyue remembered correctly, she had seen this book before, called the King Yama's Book of Life and Death.
Although she had heard Chen Qing mention that the King Yama's Book of Life and Death recorded the names of everyone in the entire Tianxuan Continent, and by crossing out a name, one could make the person die and their Dao disappear.
However, Xia Qingyue still wanted to witness with her own eyes whether this King Yama's Book of Life and Death could truly be effective against a Three-Realm Quasi-Emperor.
After the Life and Death Book appeared, it automatically began to turn pages, quickly stopping, and a red circle locked onto a name: Du Jian.
Seeing this, Chen Qing picked up the pen.
And outside the house, in the courtyard.
"Junior Martial Uncle Du, I'm begging you, please come back with me first, let's sit down and talk slowly, alright?"
"No! Get out of the way!" Du Jian had already drawn his sword and rushed to the front of the house door. After pushing aside the interfering person, he said, and was about to raise his sword to break down the door.
However, he held the sword above his head for a long time, but there was no further action. He stood there, frozen like a statue.
"Junior Martial Uncle Du?" Seeing this, the Hantian Sect Master thought that his Junior Martial Uncle had finally seen the error of his ways and listened to his words.
But he called out for a long time, yet his Junior Martial Uncle Du Jian showed no response.
"Junior Martial Uncle Du?" The puzzled Sect Master tentatively walked forward, extended his hand, and gently patted Du Jian's shoulder.
He then watched in horror as Du Jian's body, still holding the sword high, fell backward.
There was a thud as he hit the ground, making a muffled sound.
And then?
There was no 'then'.
The Sect Master squatted down and placed his hand under Du Jian's nose, only then confirming that he was truly dead.
Inside the house, even without her eyes, Xia Qingyue could clearly sense that Du Jian's aura had completely vanished, leaving only a soulless shell.
She marveled inwardly, 'The King Yama's Book of Life and Death is truly terrifying!'
Looking at the Sect Master again, he was utterly bewildered. How could his Junior Martial Uncle, who was perfectly fine, suddenly die?
At this moment, Chen Qing's voice came from behind the door, "I don't want to see something like this happen a second time."
