Was it you that night?

Chapter 211: Chapter 209: Dual Cultivate with Me, and I’ll Help You Cultivate, Hmm?

Shen Qinghe didn’t give Dongfang Wuya so much as a glance, her spirit lively as she said, "Not at all, cultivation is so interesting!"

Ever since she could cultivate, she felt as though she had pushed open the doors to a new world.

Dongfang Wuya felt that Shen Qinghe was like a block of wood, yet he had a keen interest in this block of wood, and he even enjoyed studying it all night long.

Unaware of Dongfang Wuya’s thoughts, Shen Qinghe quickly focused her attention back on cultivation.

Thus, Dongfang Wuya was naturally neglected.

Two days later, Dongfang Wuya tried to get Shen Qinghe’s attention, "Shen Qinghe, I’m hungry."

Without even stopping her sword, and without turning her head, Shen Qinghe replied, "Stop joking, how could you be hungry?"

Dongfang Wuya’s expression darkened in an instant.

He remembered when they first met, how she would listen to him and do as he said, if he claimed to be hungry, she would make him a delicious meal without delay.

Now, all she had in her mind and eyes was cultivation, cultivation, cultivation.

He, a living being, couldn’t even compare to her dull and boring practice of cultivation.

That’s just outrageous!

Shen Qinghe didn’t notice the change in Dongfang Wuya’s mood, concentrating on practicing her swordsmanship when suddenly, he stepped into the midst of her Sword Net, and before she could withdraw her sword, the Sword Qi slashed across the man’s body.

"Let me take a look at it," said Shen Qinghe, her expression changing slightly as she quickly sheathed her sword.

Clutching the injured part of his body, Dongfang Wuya spoke with a plaintive tone, "It hurts so much. Why are you so heartless to me? Shen Qinghe, are you trying to murder your own husband?"

Shen Qinghe’s face was full of self-reproach, "I’m sorry, I didn’t see you were right there."

It was a bit strange, though, with his cultivation base, how could he have been so easily injured by her Sword Qi?

After all, what she held was an Ancient Divine Artifact; could it be very painful for him?

"You could say sorry a thousand times, but it wouldn’t soothe my pain as much as one kiss from you," Dongfang Wuya said. With one arm, he encircled her waist, pulled her into his embrace, and moved to steal a kiss.

However, Shen Qinghe anxiously stopped him, "Your chest is still wounded..."

Dongfang Wuya, finding her unromantic, pressed her into his embrace, "A kiss from you, and the pain will cease."

Shen Qinghe, feeling obliged, lightly kissed his cheek and was about to pull away, but Dongfang Wuya drew her back into his arms for another kiss, seductively coaxing with a playful smile, "How about this, practice Dual Cultivation with me, I’ll assist your cultivation, hmm?"

He didn’t mind her using her charms on him.

Shen Qinghe was kissed by Dongfang Wuya until she was out of breath, her face flushing with heat as she tried to wriggle out of his embrace.

Yet he held her waist firmly, continuing to kiss and tempt her, "Others don’t have this opportunity, Shen Qinghe. If you’re not foolish, you should take this chance to lure me to bed..."

Shen Qinghe blushed with embarrassment, unable to fathom how this man could be so shameless.

Nevertheless, she was somewhat tempted; Dual Cultivation with him could be beneficial for her practice and there was no harm in it, especially since he was offering himself willingly.

And just like that, she found herself bewilderingly led to bed by Dongfang Wuya, and only at the very end did she recall that he had been wounded by her Sword Qi; was he able to engage in such vigorous activity?

After Dual Cultivation, she checked Dongfang Wuya’s wound worriedly, "The wound didn’t open, did it?"

But upon looking, she found him unscathed, with no wound in sight; she met his amused, peach-blossom eyes as she raised her glance.

In that moment, she got annoyed, "You tricked me?!"

"I was hurt, but it got better in a moment; this body of mine isn’t so fragile," Dongfang Wuya said with a suppressed smile.

Shen Qinghe was really angered to death by him. She pushed him away without any mercy, "You’ve stayed in Simple Residence Courtyard long enough, go back."

Dongfang Wuya watched Shen Qinghe’s unfeeling back, "Shen Qinghe, what do you mean?"

Was he being kicked out after being slept with? Did he look that cheap?

Shen Qinghe turned to glance at him, replying with a forced smile, "We aren’t married yet; it’s not appropriate to stay together so much. Plus, I need to cultivate, you’re disturbing me here."

And besides, after dual cultivating with him, it seemed that was it. She hadn’t seen an improvement in her cultivation base, so his talk of dual cultivation didn’t seem to have any benefits for her.

Dongfang Wuya looked at Shen Qinghe in disbelief.

She usually looked so soft and delicate, but he didn’t expect her to be so cruel as to kick him out of Simple Residence Courtyard after getting what she wanted.

Xiao Bai never thought Dongfang Wuya would return to Bixiao Tower.

Ever since the announcement of his impending marriage to Fairy Qinghe, his master had devoted himself completely to the Simple Residence Courtyard, content and unwilling to leave. But today, against all odds, he returned to Bixiao Tower, and something seemed off.

"Could it be that Master was kicked out by Fairy Qinghe?" Xiao Bai suddenly wondered.

Dongfang Wuya’s gaze turned sharp as he looked at Xiao Bai. Realizing his mistake, Xiao Bai quickly corrected himself, "It’s impossible for Master to be kicked out by Fairy Qinghe. The entire Sky Pole Sect knows Fairy Qinghe is so infatuated with Master she doesn’t have time to love anyone else, let alone push Master away."

Dongfang Wuya wished it were so. But for the time being, although he had possessed Shen Qinghe’s body, he still hadn’t captured her heart.

"Xiao Bai, if one day I leave Sky Pole Sect, will Shen Qinghe remarry?" Dongfang Wuya’s brows were slightly furrowed.

With her carefree nature, it was so easy for him to win her over. There was a real possibility that could happen.

Xiao Bai wanted to comfort his master by saying such things would never happen – Fairy Qinghe wasn’t a fickle woman. But the fairy herself hadn’t realized it yet, and didn’t love the master. If the master left her behind, why should Fairy Qinghe remain faithful to him?

Dongfang Wuya looked coldly at Xiao Bai, "You’re usually so eloquent, why so silent now?"

Xiao Bai quickly offered a flattering smile, "If Master were to leave, Fairy Qinghe would surely traverse mountains and rivers to find you!"

Even if it were only for righteousness and gratitude, Fairy Qinghe was such a person with profound sense of loyalty.

"When do you think she will be able to transcend and ascend with her current rate of cultivation?"

This question stumped Xiao Bai.

Mortal cultivation depended on talent, fate, and opportunity. How many cultivators, even at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, couldn’t transcend and ascend even with one step to go?

"It’s hard to say with these things," Xiao Bai said hesitantly.

Dongfang Wuya stood in front of the window, looking calmly in the direction of the Simple Residence Courtyard, "A hundred years should be more than enough for my woman."

Xiao Bai secretly gasped, blurting out, "Impossible, right?!"

Although Fairy Qinghe’s current pace of cultivation was astonishingly fast, it became harder to advance as one’s cultivation base increased.

Even with dual cultivation with the master, it was unlikely for Fairy Qinghe to ascend so quickly.

"Wait and see! I hope to be there to grow with her, and to witness the day she ascends with my own eyes," Dongfang Wuya said in a near-whisper.

Only he also didn’t know when Shangxuan Yue would come for him, nor where Shangxuan Yue was, or even what identity Shangxuan Yue truly held.

He knew there was a battle of life and death awaiting him and Shangxuan Yue, and he didn’t wish to drag Shen Qinghe into it.
