Was it you that night?
Chapter 226 - 224: In my eyes, you’re not even a woman!

Chapter 226: Chapter 224: In my eyes, you’re not even a woman!

Xiao Bai looked and clicked his tongue in wonder, "Fairy Qinghe really has a big heart."

Dongfang Wuya looked over, and Xiao Bai immediately covered his own mouth, "It’s mainly because they look so alike, as if they were cast from the same mold, and Fairy Qinghe’s birthmark is really pretty."

It was over, he had again referred to this fairy as Fairy Qinghe, beyond help.

Without paying much attention to Xiao Bai, Dongfang Wuya went to the front of the cage and kicked it hard. Shen Qinghe, groggy, opened her eyes and seeing it was Dongfang Wuya, she muttered, "You actually bothered to come back?"

Dongfang Wuya was rendered speechless by her familiar tone.

Was he really that familiar with her? This woman was clearly just his prisoner.

"Wuya, come closer, I have something to tell you," Shen Qinghe said earnestly.

On hearing this, Dongfang Wuya scoffed, "Who do you think you are, daring to call me by name like that?"

Shen Qinghe looked at the vibrant Dongfang Wuya in front of her, wondering if she should feel relieved that he seemed spirited and had not become depressed due to this strange space.

"Let’s put it this way. I come from the future." Shen Qinghe paused deliberately after saying this, just to give him some time to digest the news.

Dongfang Wuya looked at Xiao Bai, "This woman has lost her mind!"

Xiao Bai felt the same way.

"I know you are the last of the Divine Race, and I also know it was Shangxuan Yue who stole your Snow Bone Mother Grass, all this you told me yourself," Shen Qinghe boldly started the conversation.

Now, Dongfang Wuya was unsettled as he stared intently at Shen Qinghe for quite a while before he managed to spit out three words, "Impossible!"

"Right, you disappeared on the day we were to be married, and after I fell asleep on your bed in Bixiao Tower, I ended up in this space. At first, I thought it was all a dream, but now I realize you are trapped in this space..."

Before Shen Qinghe could finish, Dongfang Wuya interrupted her sharply, "You’re lying, how could I possibly marry you? I have made it clear to you that I only see you as a disciple of Sky Pole Sect! In my eyes, you don’t even count as a woman!"

He treated her differently only because he had saved her life.

Staring hard at Dongfang Wuya, Shen Qinghe thought to herself, was this his true inner thought?

He clearly didn’t like her, yet he married her out of duty and responsibility.

The day before their wedding, when she asked him why he was marrying her, he had clearly stated it was because he felt responsible for her.

She had known the answer all along, so there was no need for hurt or sadness. After all, she had only regarded him as an elder brother, and if he hadn’t proposed marriage, she would never have aspired for him.

Under Shen Qinghe’s stare, Dongfang Wuya suddenly felt a bit guilty. He averted his gaze, only to hear her say, "So you also acknowledge that I am Shen Qinghe, right? Although I don’t know why you are in this space, I think we need to find a way to leave."

Dongfang Wuya still didn’t quite believe Shen Qinghe’s words, but one thing she said was true: aside from Little Black and Xiao Bai, no fourth person knew his identity, of course, except for Shangxuan Yue.

He wouldn’t believe that the person in front of him was Shangxuan Yue.

Moreover, she looked exactly like Shen Qinghe, even more beautiful than the current Shen Qinghe, and her birthmark had moved from the bridge of her nose to between her eyebrows, so it was very likely this was how Shen Qinghe would look in the future.

"Little Black, come out!" Dongfang Wuya commanded.

After Little Black appeared, Dongfang Wuya asked him to determine whether the place they were in was an Illusory Realm or a dream, yet Little Black couldn’t tell.

Shen Qinghe thought this was normal.

"Because this is neither an Illusory Realm nor a dream but possibly a space of time reversal, it’s normal for Little Black to not see the issue," Shen Qinghe said, touching the White Rope, "Do you have the ability to tear apart this space?"

The White Rope lay still on Shen Qinghe’s wrist, and she knew she had been overly optimistic.

"Could it be that Shangxuan Yue created this space just to trap you?" Shen Qinghe muttered to herself.

"He took the Snow Bone Mother Grass; he might have become immortal, there’s no need for such roundabout methods," Dongfang Wuya countered dismissively.

Shen Qinghe nodded in agreement, "That’s true. A cultivator named Gong Xian came to the Sky Pole Sect looking for me earlier, merely to inquire about your whereabouts. If Gong Xian had trapped you in this space, he wouldn’t have needed to come looking for me for your news. Besides, after Gong Xian spent a spring night with Nan Sheng, he lightly touched her forehead upon leaving, and Nan Sheng’s cultivation base has now reached the Emergence Stage. Most likely Gong Xian is a celestial being, could that person be Shangxuan Yue?"

Dongfang Wuya’s brows knitted upon hearing this, "This lord has not met Gong Xian, how would I know if he is Shangxuan Yue? Do not mention Nan Sheng in front of me in the future, I find this woman disgusting."

Shen Qinghe’s thoughts drifted.

How could a Dongfang Wuya like this marry Nan Sheng one day? Clearly, he didn’t like Nan Sheng at all.

"Nan Sheng first followed Yan Changsheng, then Xiao Chen, and now Shangxuan Yue. A woman like this, no matter how beautiful, you must never marry her. Otherwise, I’m worried she’ll cuckhold you," Shen Qinghe felt it was necessary to caution him.

Dongfang Wuya found Shen Qinghe’s words absurd, "Even if all the women in this world died out, I would never marry her!"

"Remember the words you said today," Shen Qinghe replied, with a meaningful tone.

"Do not group me with that disgusting woman," Dongfang Wuya felt uncomfortable.

Shen Qinghe did not wish to continue talking about Nan Sheng. She spoke seriously, "Since you believe my words, let me out first. After I leave, I’ll think of a way to rescue you. Just wait here for me."

She needed to leave this space first, figure out how Dongfang Wuya got in, and then find a way to get him out.

"Impossible! I still feel you are full of tricks, I cannot easily let you leave," Dongfang Wuya held the cage in his hand, locking eyes with Shen Qinghe.

Shen Qinghe felt like a bird in a cage; although the space was big enough, being locked up and talking to Dongfang Wuya made her feel like an object in his palm, which was certainly not a pleasant thing.

"Are you really Shen Qinghe from later?" Dongfang Wuya asked again.

Shen Qinghe suddenly became irritable, "Why would I deceive you?"

"Who knows? I’ve heard that the prettier a woman is, the more deceitful she can be," Dongfang Wuya said, his voice light as he curled his lips.

Shen Qinghe replied with a forced smile, "Then should I be grateful for your compliment on my beauty?"

Dongfang Wuya was momentarily at a loss for words, finding this woman quick-witted, not afraid of him at all.

Usually, Shen Qinghe was very well-behaved in front of him, nothing like this disrespectful manner.

"The matter of you marrying me is false, right?" Dongfang Wuya scrutinized Shen Qinghe, still disbelieving that he would marry her.

He had already saved her life; there was no reason to commit himself for the rest of his life.
