Was it you that night?

Chapter 255: Chapter 253: Last Words

"So what if I am? I will force you. You don’t want to marry me, I’ll make you marry me. You don’t want to engage in dual cultivation, I’ll make you do it. That’s the consequence of provoking me!" Dongfang Wuya grew impatient with any further pointless talk with Shen Qinghe.

Xiao Bai told him to take it slowly, and Meng Yun advised him to gradually win over Shen Qinghe’s heart, but he had waited for two years. Shen Qinghe wouldn’t even let him kiss her, so he knew he couldn’t rely on those two.

It would be better to try his own method. Who says the world frowns upon forceful marriages? As long as he was willing, he could easily take her to form a contract; she couldn’t resist him anyway.

"You have no shame!" Shen Qinghe exclaimed angrily.

"With you, why would I need shame?" Dongfang Wuya responded dismissively.

Shen Qinghe: ...

While kissing Shen Qinghe, Dongfang Wuya played a woeful strategy, "Qinghe, can you pity me a little and give me a taste of sweetness? If you dual cultivate with me once, I will definitely cultivate diligently afterward. Whatever you ask of me, I’ll do it. Okay?"

Shen Qinghe thought to herself that cultivation was his own affair, so how did it become a matter of her pitying him?

What was there to pity about him? He spent his days in the Simple Residence Courtyard like a lord, demanding and difficult. His woeful strategy was hardly woeful at all.

Dongfang Wuya, seeing her silent, thought she tacitly agreed with him. Just as he was about to kiss her again, she stopped him with a fingertip against his lips, and said earnestly, "Dual cultivation is something that should bring joy to both parties. How could I willingly agree when you’re forcing me like this? How about this: You cultivate properly from now on, and whether I marry you will depend on your behavior in the future. Or are you just seeking a night of passion and don’t truly wish to marry me?"

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Wuya’s eyes brightened, "Are you serious?!"

"Of course, but your forcefulness has made me very unhappy!" Shen Qinghe said, looking straight at Dongfang Wuya with her clear eyes.

Dongfang Wuya immediately released Shen Qinghe, who then regained her freedom, "Go and cultivate now, and do not be lazy!"

At that moment, Dongfang Wuya was filled with resolve. Cultivation suddenly seemed closely connected to forming a contract, and he felt a surge of fighting spirit.

In the following two days, Dongfang Wuya was constantly cultivating, something Shen Qinghe had never seen him do so earnestly before.

She couldn’t help but feel surprised. Could it be that he took her casually uttered words seriously, which then motivated him to cultivate?

Just as she was distracted, Dongfang Wuya suddenly approached her excitedly, "Qinghe, I feel signs of awakening in my Divine Power!"

Shen Qinghe was puzzled, "Wasn’t your Divine Power awakening before?"

"But this feels different..."

Dongfang Wuya’s voice trailed off, and the smile on his face disappeared suddenly.

Seeing his changed expression, Shen Qinghe asked anxiously, "What’s wrong?"

Dongfang Wuya looked toward the sky.

It wasn’t his imagination; immortals from the Heaven Realm had arrived, and not just a few. Such a grand assembly, could it be that they were here for him?

Or were they after Qinghe?

"It’s nothing, you and Shen Zhiyao stay at the Simple Residence Courtyard, I’ll be back shortly," Dongfang Wuya regained his composure.

"I’m coming with you," Shen Qinghe felt that Dongfang Wuya’s expression just now was off and hurriedly said.

Dongfang Wuya chuckled, "Could it be that you’ve suddenly fallen in love with me, unable to bear me leaving even for a moment?"

Shen Qinghe’s face turned red, "You’re overthinking it!"

"I think not..."

Shen Qinghe hurriedly interrupted Dongfang Wuya, "Okay, okay, just go now!"

Dongfang Wuya gave a wry smile and was about to leave the Simple Residence Courtyard when he paused mid-step, suddenly turned back to Shen Qinghe, and planted a firm kiss on her lips.

Afterward, he hugged her tightly for a moment before reluctantly letting go, and gently pressed a kiss to her forehead. "Qinghe, no matter what happens, no matter how far I go, I will return one day. You must stay at the Sky Pole Sect; you cannot go anywhere else, nor can you run off with another man. This is my command!"

No matter the purpose of these Immortals’ visit to the Sky Pole Sect, he would not let them succeed.

"What are you talking about?" Shen Qinghe had just begun to speak when she realized Dongfang Wuya’s figure was no longer in front of her.

As she recalled Dongfang Wuya’s abnormal behavior, the more she thought about it, the more she felt something was amiss. She tried to chase after him out of the Simple Residence Courtyard, only to discover that a barrier had been erected outside.

This was the first time Dongfang Wuya had set up a barrier that prevented people within the Simple Residence Courtyard from leaving.

This was very abnormal!

"Mr. Wuya, come back to me!" Shen Qinghe shouted loudly.

Shen Zhiyao, upon hearing the commotion, ran out from inside and saw Shen Qinghe still shouting in the courtyard. She hurriedly asked, "What’s wrong?"

Shen Qinghe suddenly felt a sense of panic, completely at a loss. "I think something has happened. Mr. Wuya suddenly trapped me in the Simple Residence Courtyard. He also said he would come back and that I can’t run off with other men. Doesn’t it sound like he’s leaving his last words?"

Shen Zhiyao was taken aback upon hearing this, feeling that Qinghe was overthinking things.

With Dongfang Wuya’s immense strength, who in the cultivation world could be his opponent?

"Don’t panic. Mr. Wuya will be back soon." Shen Zhiyao said, trying to walk out of the Simple Residence Courtyard, only to discover that indeed, they were trapped.

She then took the Red Lotus Shield Armor and attempted to smash the barrier, only to find it incredibly stable.

This was the first time Dongfang Wuya had used a barrier to trap Qinghe, and such a situation was indeed abnormal.

Shen Qinghe was certain that something significant had happened. She sent Little Rope to try to break the barrier, and despite many attempts, it simply couldn’t be breached.

Shen Qinghe remembered Dongfang Wuya mentioning that his Divine Power was awakening. If that was truly the case, it was no surprise that Little Rope couldn’t break through the barrier.

Inside the Simple Residence Courtyard, Shen Qinghe paced anxiously, while outside, Dongfang Wuya stood in front of the Sky Pole Sect Gate, watching as a host of celestial soldiers descended.

The arrival of this group of celestial soldiers also stirred the entire Immortal Sect disciples of the Sky Pole Sect, and they all rushed over in a swarm.

The ultimate goal of all cultivators is to become immortal, but everyone knows that achieving immortality is not easy. This time, seeing so many celestial soldiers,

however, no one could feel joy, aware that the well-intentioned do not come uninvited.

The leading immortal was Venerable Zhenwu, who spotted Dongfang Wuya in his striking red garments in the most conspicuous spot.

As the War God of the Immortal Realm, he had defeated countless Immortals, Demons, and Monsters, but now, facing Dongfang Wuya, he understood why the Heaven Lord wanted to capture Dongfang Wuya and bring him to the Upper Heaven Realm.

In front of him, Dongfang Wuya’s cultivation base was indiscernible, but his bearing was evident; it was no wonder that Dongfang Wuya was rumored to be a descendant of the Divine Race. Such a person being a Divine Race descendant couldn’t be more normal.

"Are you Mr. Wuya?" Venerable Zhenwu was the first to break the silence.

"Indeed, and why have you come to my Sky Pole Sect?" asked Dongfang Wuya, his tone calm, exuding a commanding presence that seemed to look down upon all beings.

"We are here by the Emperor of Heaven’s decree to request Mr. Wuya’s presence in the Heaven Realm," said Venerable Zhenwu, his words ambiguous.

Hearing this, Dongfang Wuya smiled faintly. "And if I refuse to go to the Heaven Realm, what then?"
