Was it you that night?
Chapter 237 - 235: Mr. Wuya Jealous of the Limelight

Chapter 237: Chapter 235: Mr. Wuya Jealous of the Limelight

The next moment, Shen Qinghe’s body uncontrollably soared into the air, and it wasn’t until she was out of the bedroom that she steadied herself back onto the ground.

Seeing this, Shen Zhiyao teased with a wink, "I said getting involved with Mr. Wuya, you’d find it hard to get away."

She had long seen through this fact, while Qinghe was still naively thinking she could come out of it unscathed.

That night, Shen Qinghe still couldn’t get Dongfang Wuya to leave and he ended up occupying her bed again.

Fortunately, as a cultivator, she didn’t necessarily need to sleep, so without bothering Shen Zhiyao, she practiced cultivation in the courtyard and quite enjoyed herself.

Another two days passed, and there was still no sign of Dongfang Wuya leaving the Simple Residence Courtyard.

In a low voice, Shen Zhiyao said to Shen Qinghe, "Have you noticed that Mr. Wuya hasn’t left your bed at all these past few days?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Qinghe was startled and met Shen Zhiyao’s suggestive look.

Feeling her face heat up and a bit uncomfortable, she retorted, "Elder sister is overthinking."

Even if Dongfang Wuya was lazy, he wouldn’t stay in bed all the time. But after her sister mentioned it, she thought about it carefully and realized that every time she sneakily watched Dongfang Wuya, he was indeed on her bed.

"What’s there to feel embarrassed to admit? It means Mr. Wuya has an interest in your bed. Why not gift your bed to Mr. Wuya; maybe then he’ll leave," proposed Shen Zhiyao with a seemingly good idea.

Shen Qinghe ignored Shen Zhiyao, having some understanding of Dongfang Wuya. He wasn’t interested in her bed but did not want to see her living too comfortably.

While the Shen sisters were having their private conversation, Xiao Chen arrived.

"Why has Big Senior Brother come?" Shen Zhiyao eyed Xiao Chen warily.

Xiao Chen brushed past her and headed straight for Shen Qinghe’s bedroom.

Standing at the doorway, when he saw Dongfang Wuya lying comfortably on the bed, he was not surprised at all.

He had never seen a man more shameless than Dongfang Wuya, and inexplicably, Shen Qinghe still indulged Dongfang Wuya’s shamelessness, simply because he had once saved Qinghe’s life.

Xiao Chen felt incredibly jealous that Dongfang Wuya had the chance to sleep in Shen Qinghe’s bed, fixating his glare on him.

Just then, Dongfang Wuya looked over and said something infuriating, "Without the permission of this master, how did you, a stranger, come here?"

"Mr. Wuya is overthinking it. This is Qinghe’s courtyard, and only because Qinghe is kind, does she tolerate Mr. Wuya’s nonsense here," Xiao Chen replied with an ironic smile.

Dongfang Wuya’s lips curved slightly, "That’s true; Qinghe has always pampered me."

His words hit Xiao Chen’s sore spot, who blurted out, "When I am married to Qinghe, I will teach her..."

He was unable to finish his sentence when a surge of powerful pressure from Dongfang Wuya overwhelmed him, making his blood boil and, despite his severe resistance, caused him to involuntarily kneel to the floor.

From a distance, Shen Zhiyao witnessed this scene and nudged Shen Qinghe, "Two men are fighting over you out of jealousy, don’t you want to mediate?"

"Elder sister is talking nonsense. Clearly, Big Senior Brother went to provoke Mr. Wuya; it’s Big Senior Brother’s own fault," Shen Qinghe responded indifferently.

Whether Xiao Chen lived or died was of no concern to her.

After all, she no longer needed to rely on the protagonist’s Spiritual Energy to cultivate, so the life or death of these protagonists had nothing to do with her.

Shen Zhiyao said in a low voice, "I think Big Senior Brother is also obsessive over you, with Yan Changsheng developing feelings for you, and even Mr. Wuya, whom you can’t shake off. Don’t you find this situation a bit strange?"

Shen Qinghe didn’t catch the deep meaning in her words. "Really?"

"Of course! Haven’t you noticed? The male lead who should have liked Nan Sheng now likes you. Could it be that you’ve stolen Nan Sheng’s destiny?" Shen Zhiyao spoke to Shen Qinghe in whispers.

Shen Qinghe was momentarily taken aback and then continued to converse in whispers, "Big Senior Brother doesn’t like me either."

Yan Changsheng’s affection for her might not be love, but gratitude because she had saved his life at a critical moment, leading him to mistake it for romantic feelings. She hadn’t taken Yan Changsheng’s feelings for her to heart at all.

As for Xiao Chen, it was even more absurd. After he annulled his engagement with Nan Sheng, he was in a hurry to find another fiancée, and that’s how he ended up with her. This was not liking someone at all.

Even Mr. Wuya had said that marrying her was only to take responsibility for her.

Seeing Shen Qinghe’s resolute expression, Shen Zhiyao thought it better not to continue on this topic.

Shen Qinghe’s lack of awareness was quite good, at least she didn’t need to worry about these men. However, she could see that all three male leads had developed feelings for Qinghe.

Although Xiao Chen’s feelings for Qinghe were quite peculiar, and she couldn’t tell when exactly Xiao Chen had fallen for Qinghe, didn’t his willingness to be abused by Dongfang Wuya despite knowing he couldn’t win against him prove that Xiao Chen truly liked Qinghe?

When Xiao Chen arrived in the courtyard, his steps were a bit heavy.

He stood before Shen Qinghe and asked, "Qinghe, you’re no longer engaged, will you marry me?"

Shen Qinghe shook her head without hesitation. "I cannot!"

She wouldn’t even marry Mr. Wuya, so how could she possibly marry Xiao Chen?

Xiao Chen’s smile hinted at teasing as he persisted, "What would it take for you to marry me?"

Shen Qinghe gave him a fake smile in return. "Not even in the next life! Nan Sheng stayed at the Sky Pole Sect for Big Senior Brother. Since Big Senior Brother is looking for a daoist companion, he might as well go back to his old love."

Xiao Chen looked deeply at Shen Qinghe, his smile gentle. "I’m serious about wanting to marry you. I wouldn’t joke about such an important matter. When I say I want to marry you, I mean it."

He himself once had a good game in hand but he had ruined it. Otherwise, how could there be any matter involving Dongfang Wuya?

He always told himself that as long as he stayed at the Sky Pole Sect, he would have a chance with Shen Qinghe. But if even this last hope wasn’t left to him, he feared that even if he had to destroy heaven and earth, he would take her by force.

Seeing Xiao Chen’s gentle smile, Shen Qinghe suddenly felt goosebumps. Why did she have a creepy premonition?

Remembering Xiao Chen’s character in the original story, Shen Qinghe suddenly felt terrible.

She stepped back cautiously and said earnestly, "I’ll say it again, there’s no possibility between me and Big Senior Brother. You’ve got the wrong person."

However, Xiao Chen’s smile did not fade. "Nothing is impossible to a willing heart. Who knows for sure? I think in the end, you’ll fall into my arms and bear children for me."

As he spoke, his eyes flicked to the direction of Shen Qinghe’s bedroom. At the moment Dongfang Wuya erupted in fury, he took off on his sword.

Although Shen Qinghe was a few steps away from Xiao Chen, as soon as Xiao Chen fled, a large hole was blasted where he had been standing, unmistakably the handiwork of Dongfang Wuya.

Shen Zhiyao reacted faster than Shen Qinghe. While Shen Qinghe had not expected Dongfang Wuya to suddenly lose his temper and was unprepared, standing there stupefied and getting covered in dust, Shen Zhiyao had already flown to the eaves, avoiding the blast.

Shen Qinghe hadn’t expected Dongfang Wuya to erupt suddenly, but she just felt relieved that the blast hadn’t hit her and had chased Xiao Chen away instead.

She calmly applied the Purification Technique to herself and continued to cultivate.
