Was it you that night?
Chapter 196 - 194: How Dare She Treat Him as an Elder Only After Getting Him?

Chapter 196: Chapter 194: How Dare She Treat Him as an Elder Only After Getting Him?

"Could it be an Illusory Realm?" Wu Ke muttered to himself.

If it were a trap set by Nan Sheng, he would hardly believe it, solely because Nan Sheng had not yet acquired the ability to create an Illusory Realm, unless there was someone behind her aiding her.

Just when he found the situation bizarre, a delicate and fragrant body threw itself into his embrace. Nan Sheng’s crisp voice sounded from within his arms, "Uncle-Master, I had a hard time looking for you."

Wu Ke was struggling to restrain himself, yet Nan Sheng was still wriggling in his arms; how could he possibly hold back?

Still, he couldn’t help but look for Shen Zhiyao.

In a daze, he remembered the irreconcilable grievances between Shen Zhiyao and Nan Sheng. If he truly got involved with Nan Sheng, there would be no chance left for him with Shen Zhiyao.

With that thought, he pushed Nan Sheng away with difficulty.

Nan Sheng did not expect the flirtatious Wu Ke to push her away. She stood stunned for a moment, "Uncle-Master..."

"This place isn’t safe; get back quickly," Wu Ke said, and then flew away on his sword.

Nan Sheng watched Wu Ke’s rapidly retreating figure, a dark coldness flashing in her eyes.

After Shen Zhiyao fled in panic, she didn’t care about Wu Ke’s life or death. The first thing she did was to send a Sound Transmission Talisman to Shen Qinghe.

On the other side, when Shen Qinghe met Dongfang Wuya, he stood in silence. After waiting for about a quarter of an hour and seeing Dongfang Wuya still not speaking, she broke the quiet, "Does Uncle-Master have any orders for me?"

Dongfang Wuya finally looked at Shen Qinghe squarely, "What do you think this lord summoned you here for?"

Shen Qinghe unconsciously avoided Dongfang Wuya’s gaze because now whenever she saw Dongfang Wuya, she would recall the intertwining of their limbs, which was truly disrespectful to Mr. Wuya.

She lowered her eyes to look at the tips of her own shoes and replied timidly, "I don’t know."

"Why can’t you look at this lord if you haven’t done anything wrong?" Dongfang Wuya said with sarcasm.

Recalling last night’s "wedding night," Shen Qinghe’s face burned, "I, I haven’t!"

An incident like last night, where she had forgotten that she was a disciple of the Sky Pole Sect and was unaware that Dongfang Wuya was a respected benefactor, would have normally made her flee the bridal chamber.

And it was not just him, Mr. Wuya, who had lost his chastity.

"Why can’t you look at this lord if you haven’t committed a wrong deed?" Dongfang Wuya sneered with a curl of his lips.

It seemed this wilful girl knew she had wronged him. Since she felt guilty, dare she not take responsibility?

Shen Qinghe was temporarily at a loss for words. She was thinking about making an excuse to leave when Dongfang Wuya suddenly grasped her wrist.

She thought about retaliating, but then the memory of him being her benefactor stopped her, and she withdrew her hand.

"Shen Qinghe, after what happened last night, what do you plan to do?" Dongfang Wuya decided to get straight to the point.

Otherwise, based on her temperament, she would probably pretend ignorance till the end and gloss over the matter, judging from her behavior that day, she was definitely capable of doing so.

Shen Qinghe did not expect Dongfang Wuya to be so direct. She blushed and found herself speechless.

What did he mean by what she planned to do? Could it be that it was up to her to decide whatever she wanted?

With that thought, she retorted, "What do you think, Uncle-Master?"

"This lord is asking you, how come you’re asking this lord instead?!" Dongfang Wuya was exasperated.

This infuriating woman, she had a knack for playing dumb. With something so serious having occurred, how could she be so heartless?

Didn’t she like him? Wasn’t she desperately in love with him? Why not take this opportunity to make him take responsibility?

"I, I think we should just let that matter go, it was all just a dream after all, no different from the previous Illusion Mirrors..."

Under Dongfang Wuya’s icy gaze, Shen Qinghe’s words became more and more hesitant. His look made her feel as if she had wronged him, even though their relationship wasn’t that of a couple.

Dongfang Wuya laughed in fury, blurting out, "Don’t you deeply love this lord?!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Qinghe quickly shook her head, "I have never dared to harbor any improper thoughts towards Uncle-Master, who spread such rumors? I’ll tear his mouth apart! Uncle-Master mustn’t listen to such slanderous talk, my feelings towards Uncle-Master are of respect for an elder..."

Dongfang Wuya just watched Shen Qinghe, his grip on her wrist tightening more and more.

Looking at his man-eating gaze, Shen Qinghe didn’t dare to utter another word. She didn’t know what she said wrong to provoke such a frightening expression from Dongfang Wuya.

"Shen, Qing, He—"

Dongfang Wuya’s voice seeped through gritted teeth, causing Shen Qinghe to go pale with fear, and she hurriedly said, "Uncle-Master, please don’t be angry, if I said something wrong and upset you, please be magnanimous, don’t stoop to the level of a nobody like me..."

"You should die!!" Dongfang Wuya roared, looking like he could kill Shen Qinghe.

Shen Qinghe couldn’t accept this; she could give Dongfang Wuya anything, but not her own life.

With a thought, she leaped onto the Red Lotus Shield Armor, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Dongfang Wuya did not expect Shen Qinghe to flee so fast, and for a moment, he did not react.

He stood there steadily, then suddenly let out a sinister laugh.

Very good!

Shen Qinghe, impressive indeed!

How dare this woman flirt with him and then say she doesn’t like him? How dare she take his body and then regard him as an elder?

Shen Qinghe had fled far away and only when she saw that Dongfang Wuya did not pursue her, did she breathe a sigh of relief.

Just then, Yuheng Mountain suddenly quaked violently, startling her, followed by Dongfang Wuya’s voice, fine as a mosquito’s buzz, in her ear, "Shen Qinghe, do you think you can flip the palm of this lord?"

Shen Qinghe vigilantly scanned her surroundings, but could not see Dongfang Wuya’s figure, only his cold laughter echoing incessantly in her ears, making her scalp tingle.

She knew Dongfang Wuya’s abilities, but this was too terrifying; she couldn’t see him, but he could see her, was that it?

In other words, he could kill her at any time, and she couldn’t escape.

The problem was that she didn’t know what she had done wrong to incite such murderous intent from him.

Just as she was feeling dejected, Shen Zhiyao’s Sound Transmission Talisman arrived in front of her, she read the message, and hurried to Shen Zhiyao’s side at the fastest speed.

The moment Shen Zhiyao saw Shen Qinghe, the tension in her snapped, "Qinghe, I feel so hot, so hot..."

Shen Qinghe saw Shen Zhiyao’s flushed face, looking very wrong, "What’s wrong with elder sister?"

Shen Zhiyao tugged at her collar, her voice hoarse, "I seem to be affected by Aphrodisiac Incense, I, I want a man."

Shen Qinghe was stunned; where could she find a man for her at such short notice?

No, that’s wrong, the priority was to find her an antidote, not a man.

This time she couldn’t ask Dongfang Wuya for help, then she remembered Meng Yun mentioned she could seek his assistance if needed, so she went to find Meng Yun and asked for his help.

Meng Yun searched in his Qiankun Bag and found a Spirit Pill to place into Shen Zhiyao’s mouth, after taking the Spirit Pill, the heat inside her gradually subsided, and her mind cleared.
