Was it you that night?

Chapter 269: Chapter 267: I Will Enter Into a Pact with Him Tomorrow

Dongfang Wuya was at a loss for words after being coolly challenged by Shen Qinghe.

If she truly weren’t Shen Qinghe, it might be fine, but how could she not be?

He couldn’t find peace in this damned place, yet whenever he approached her, all his anxiety swept away. Her aura was the same as in the ancient times, and even the fiery birthmark between her eyebrows was identical to that era.

How could this person not be his Shen Qinghe?

"Stay here and don’t go anywhere!" Dongfang Wuya said, reaching for Shen Qinghe’s fair, jade-like hand, "Come, sleep with me!"

Shen Qinghe dodged Dongfang Wuya’s touch, "Get away from me, I want to go back to the Simple Residence Courtyard!"

Dongfang Wuya withdrew his hand, "Want to go back to the Simple Residence Courtyard? Let’s see what you can do."

He returned to his bedroom to continue sleeping, but despite closing his eyes, he still felt restless. Standing by the window, he watched the woman below hacking at the barrier he had set up with her sword.

Knowing it’s impossible yet still attempting, how foolish!

Just like that time when, in a fit of rage, he obliterated the Three Realms, she actually thought she had caused the disaster, obstinately sacrificing her own life, as stubborn as an ox!

It was then that he discovered he wasn’t omnipotent. No matter how strong his cultivation base, there were people and things he couldn’t control.

Since he couldn’t sleep, he simply watched Shen Qinghe busily from not too far away.

Shen Qinghe kept repeating the same action, which was to strike the barrier erected by Dongfang Wuya with her sword.

She worked day and night, hacking at it for a full month, until one day the barrier truly loosened, and she took that opportunity to escape from Bixiao Tower.

When she got back to the Simple Residence Courtyard, she felt everything had gone too smoothly.

She had run back to the Simple Residence Courtyard, Dongfang Wuya had no reason not to know, so why hadn’t he come after her to capture her?

Worried about Dongfang Wuya’s retaliation, she didn’t sleep well that night.

Days passed and everything seemed to return to calm, until Yan Changsheng suddenly came looking for her.

Ironically, just as Yan Changsheng arrived at the Simple Residence Courtyard, Dongfang Wuya appeared.

When Shen Qinghe saw Dongfang Wuya’s cold eyes, she had the mistaken feeling that she had been caught cheating, although she had only just met Yan Changsheng and hadn’t even had a chance to speak with him.

"Did you come back to the Simple Residence Courtyard especially to have a secret rendezvous with Yan Changsheng?" With a sarcastic smile, Dongfang Wuya delivered Shen Qinghe’s death sentence.

Shen Qinghe thought there was something wrong with his brain, "I have nothing to do with Second Senior Brother, and if you really think I’m involved with him, why don’t I just make a pact with him tomorrow?"

Dongfang Wuya’s face twisted with rage, "I will kill him!"

"Go ahead and kill him, what’s it to me!" Shen Qinghe said, running into her bedroom.

Only Yan Changsheng and Dongfang Wuya were left looking at each other, Yan Changsheng said with a sarcastic smile, "With such a gentle character, she has been provoked to anger by you, Mr. Wuya, truly remarkable!"

"You are not worthy to speak to me, you worthless thing!" Dongfang Wuya said, and threw Yan Changsheng out of the Simple Residence Courtyard, striding with full entitlement into Shen Qinghe’s bedroom himself.

Shen Qinghe had actually set up a barrier, but seeing Dongfang Wuya come and go freely made her feel frustrated.

Now that Dongfang Wuya’s divine power had awakened, no matter how she cultivated, she couldn’t possibly be his match, could she?

After entering, Dongfang Wuya circled a few times before finally standing in front of Shen Qinghe, "Enough, from now on I’ll listen to you. Do as you wish, is that okay?"

Shen Qinghe’s response was both mocking and sharp, "I wouldn’t dare have a person of your stature like Mr. Wuya listen to me. My face isn’t that big!"

"How come you are not pleasing... ecstatic..." Dongfang Wuya’s voice faded under Shen Qinghe’s glaring stare.

He coughed lightly twice, feeling that he could still salvage the situation, "From today onwards, wherever you are, I shall be there too. You can’t shake me off!"

Anyway, this time, she wouldn’t be able to escape him even if she died!

"Suit yourself, I’m going to cultivate. You can’t disturb me while I’m cultivating, otherwise..." Shen Qinghe deliberately paused.

Dongfang Wuya asked curiously, "Otherwise what?"

"Get lost immediately!" Shen Qinghe declared haughtily.

Dongfang Wuya: ...

Times had changed, and the originally tender and gentle Shen Qinghe had become so feisty, which was beyond his expectations.

"No matter how much you cultivate, you should still keep me company——"

What answered Dongfang Wuya was the sound of Shen Qinghe slamming the door.

With his cultivation base, no one dared to cross him, except Shen Qinghe was the one doing so. What could he do then? Spoil her, of course.

At first, Shen Qinghe’s heart was pounding, worried that Dongfang Wuya might fly into a rage, but seeing that he showed no signs of anger, she found it quite miraculous.

This person had started off so arrogantly, and now he was as easy to talk to as the Mr. Wuya she knew. Could it be that he was affected by her words from before?

Her mind wandered occasionally while she was cultivating, fearful that Dongfang Wuya might suddenly barge in.

But from her observations, Dongfang Wuya, though he hovered around her, showed no signs of hindering her cultivation, which reassured her.

Dongfang Wuya, noticing that Shen Qinghe was wholeheartedly focused on her cultivation and not sparing him a glance, felt his equilibrium upset.

In her heart, how could cultivation be more important than he was?

The person she cared about most was supposed to be him.

The more he watched, the more dejected he felt. He left Shen Qinghe’s bedroom and happened to see Shen Zhiyao peeking around.

"You, come here!" Dongfang Wuya ordered Shen Zhiyao.

Shen Zhiyao found the Dongfang Wuya in front of her quite unfamiliar, hesitating as she approached him.

"Are you Shen Qinghe’s sister?" Dongfang Wuya scrutinized Shen Zhiyao up and down.

Shen Zhiyao’s eyes widened, "I’m not. Perhaps you are?"

Surely Dongfang Wuya couldn’t have forgotten even her?

"She is the first sprout born at the dawn of chaos and shouldn’t have relatives; she ought to be alone," Dongfang Wuya grew increasingly annoyed by Shen Zhiyao, especially when Shen Qinghe was unreasonably protective of Zhiyao, as if in Shen Qinghe’s heart, Zhiyao was more important than he was.

"Don’t you dare curse Qinghe. I think you’re the one who’s all alone!" Shen Zhiyao glared at Dongfang Wuya defensively, "Aren’t you Mr. Wuya?"

However, his remark about Qinghe being a sprout at the dawn of chaos did sound reasonable to her, as the ’Chaos Immortal Scripture’ seemed tailor-made for Qinghe.

"How am I not Mr. Wuya? If you’re referring to the previous Dongfang Wuya, who was like waste, unable to even protect his own woman, then I must say it was due to his incompetence, and he deserved to die!" Dongfang Wuya began indifferently.

Shen Zhiyao frowned upon hearing this, "Who says he’s useless? Mr. Wuya treated Qinghe so well, it’s only because his Divine Body had not awakened that he didn’t defeat the celestial soldiers, not because Mr. Wuya was useless. You have no idea how much Qinghe liked the previous Mr. Wuya!"

She stopped just short of outright saying that Qinghe liked that Mr. Wuya, not the one who had appeared out of nowhere.

Perhaps they were the same person, but she still found the pre-awakened Mr. Wuya cuter.
