Was it you that night?

Chapter 290: Chapter 288: A Happy Occurrence Involving Three Spouses

Dongfang Wuya saw clearly and knew that this method was effective.

Since his kiss could help her, then dual cultivation would certainly be even more beneficial to her.

He carried Shen Qinghe to the bed and kissed her with even greater fervor, filled with increasing anticipation for the special wedding night he and Shen Qinghe would have...

Meanwhile, Xiao Chen, ever since he had learned that Shen Qinghe’s soul had returned, had been making plans.

He constantly monitored Shen Qinghe’s body, ready to sense at the first hint of any movement from her.

He knew that as long as he controlled Shen Qinghe’s body, the woman would still be under his control, and he was in no hurry at all.

This time, as soon as Shen Qinghe’s soul returned, he had a way to trap her forever, so that she would no longer have a chance to escape.

Yet, as days went by, he didn’t feel anything unusual. He was well aware that he would be able to sense her presence as soon as Shen Qinghe came back.

Unfortunately, there was no movement at all. Could this mean that she was not in a hurry to return?

Or perhaps, was there some unknown mishap he was unaware of?

Shu Xiu noticed that as time passed, Xiao Chen seemed to become increasingly restless. The Xiao Chen she knew now was a stranger, no longer the gentle and cultured Big Senior Brother she remembered.

She hoped Qinghe wouldn’t come back, but this thought was not very realistic since Qinghe’s body was still here. How could she possibly not return?

All they could do now was to hope that Qinghe would come back later, but if she came back late, it would only make Xiao Chen angrier, wouldn’t it? At that time, it would be hard to predict what Xiao Chen might do.

In this period, she could see Xiao Chen’s growing anxiety, as he repeatedly returned with the stench of blood, having apparently made many kills. If she hadn’t seen it with her own eyes, she would find it hard to link the Xiao Chen before her with the one from the Sky Pole Sect.

In the blink of an eye, another two months had passed, and Shen Qinghe watched helplessly as her soul materialized into substance. The most unbelievable thing was that with each dual cultivation she performed with Dongfang Wuya, her soul grew closer to a human body.

So much so that when Xiao Bai could see her one day, she wasn’t surprised anymore.

Although dual cultivation truly benefitted her, she couldn’t just spend every day in bed with Dongfang Wuya, could she?

"Now that I’m like this, can I still go back to that body?" Shen Qinghe asked, not very certain.

She didn’t seem to be just a soul anymore, did she?

"Have you ever considered that the current you is the Divine Body that you’ve refined, and the body beside Xiao Chen has become rather optional? Also, how do you think you can still go back to that body now?" Dongfang Wuya looked at Shen Qinghe with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile.

Sometimes she looked very clever, but at other times, somewhat naive.

"What do you mean?" Shen Qinghe didn’t understand.

"Your husband has refined your soul into your true Divine Body. If you wish, that other body can be discarded," Dongfang Wuya looked at Shen Qinghe with pride. "How will you thank your husband for sacrificing himself to help you cultivate?"

Shen Qinghe: ...

She looked down at herself, feeling speechless, "Are you sure that with this body, I won’t need that other one anymore?"

But her Life-bound Magic Treasure was still with that other body.

Just as she thought of Little Rope, she noticed something strange about her hand; as soon as she thought about it, Little Rope had returned to her side.

Then her Qiankun Bag came back, and Little Deer also appeared before her, as though she were in a dream.

But that was wrong; Shu Xiu was still with Xiao Chen. She couldn’t let Shu Xiu stay with Xiao Chen.

If Xiao Chen discovered that her other body was of no use, would he turn his anger on Shu Xiu?

"I must go and rescue Shu Xiu." Shen Qinghe said earnestly.

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Wuya frowned, "Do you still want to get close to Xiao Chen?"

"Didn’t you say that I have cultivated a Divine Body with my soul? Can this Divine Body turn back into a primordial soul and return to that body?" Shen Qinghe asked leisurely.

This stumped Dongfang Wuya.

"Your husband does not know..."

Before he could finish speaking, Shen Qinghe’s body suddenly began to turn transparent. His face changed slightly, and he asked sternly, "Shen Qinghe, what are you trying to do?!"

"Just trying," Shen Qinghe said, and she had disappeared in front of Dongfang Wuya as soon as her words fell.

Dongfang Wuya immediately became furious, "Shen Qinghe, you come back to your lord this instant!"

But the room was silent, meaning Shen Qinghe had left?

Meng Yun and Xiao Bai, upon hearing Dongfang Wuya’s angry voice, hurried in to see what had happened, and asked in unison, "What’s wrong?"

"She ran off again, even daring to run to Xiao Chen’s side. This foolish woman, does she think she’s all that powerful? Even I, Your Lord, would not underestimate Xiao Chen, how dare she seek her own death?" Dongfang Wuya was so angry he wanted to curse.

What depressed him the most was that he could no longer feel the several Divine Senses he had left on Shen Qinghe; he had lost contact with her again.

Xiao Bai and Meng Yun exchanged looks, both thinking that Shen Qinghe was quite something, to be able to hold the Mr. Wuya, who thought no one else mattered, in such a tight grip, who else could compare to Shen Qinghe?

Just as Dongfang Wuya had thought, Shen Qinghe indeed returned to her own body in an instant.

She had merely wanted to try and did not expect that her solidified soul could turn back into a soul and return to her own body.

The moment she opened her eyes, she heard Xiao Chen’s voice, "Finally willing to come back?"

Shen Qinghe instinctively wanted to get up, but found that her limbs seemed to be bound, completely unable to move.

She turned her gaze towards Xiao Chen at the bedside, "What have you done to me?"

Xiao Chen answered her question with another, "Have you been at the Sky Pole Sect these days, staying by Dongfang Wuya’s side?"

Shen Qinghe didn’t immediately answer Xiao Chen’s question; the moment she saw him, she felt that he was different from before.

She even smelled a faint odor of blood.

"What has Big Senior Brother been up to?" Shen Qinghe frowned as she observed Xiao Chen, this wasn’t her imagination, the killing intent on Xiao Chen had intensified significantly.

Xiao Chen met Shen Qinghe’s gaze and bluntly said, "Without you here, I felt anxious and could only relieve my anxiety by killing people. Qinghe, won’t you stop leaving? Without you, I feel like I’m going to lose control."

If Shen Qinghe hadn’t seen a room full of her portraits in the Spring Breeze Pavilion, she might have thought Xiao Chen was joking with her.

Even before that day, she hadn’t thought that Xiao Chen cared that deeply for her, but now she knew that no one’s feelings should be taken lightly, even if her past with Xiao Chen hadn’t been pleasant.

Whether successful or not, she should persuade Xiao Chen to repent.

"Big Senior Brother should know that a melon forced off its vine is not sweet. I am already married to Mr. Wuya, we are husband and wife..."

"I have also said that whether or not you are married makes no difference to me, I will still marry you, and if it comes to it, you can marry both me and Mr. Wuya," Xiao Chen interrupted Shen Qinghe, his expression serious and solemn, "Wouldn’t it be a beautiful thing for the three of us to live together as spouses?"

That way she wouldn’t be troubled anymore, wouldn’t that be nice?
