108: Chapter 108 Ikegawa

Seven days passed in the blink of an eye.

"Ah—so boring~"

Your red lips parted slightly as you leaned against a luxurious recliner, occasionally enjoying the spiritual fruits fed to you by a little maid beside you, while two other maids meticulously massaged your shoulders and neck from behind.

Ah~ Lin Qingyu, oh Lin Qingyu, how could you sink so low!

You despised yourself in your heart for getting used to this life of luxury and ease so quickly, not even putting up a fight before lazily rolling over and saying,

"Massage from the other direction."

The three little maids looked at each other in dismay, until finally, the slightly older one cautiously spoke up.

"Young Madam, please don't be too sad. The young master has always been like this, with only cultivation and challenges in his eyes, but rest assured, he won't fool around outside."

Sad?

Where on earth did they see that you were even a little sad?

But thinking of your current location and the fact that there were eyes everywhere, you figured you really ought to put on a bit of a sad act.

"Sigh~"

You let out a faint sigh, your brow expertly tinged with a hint of sorrow.

"It must be that this concubine hasn't done well enough, or perhaps failed to suit my husband's wishes, which is why he wasn't even willing to return on our wedding night..."

"Young Madam, please don't say things like that."

The little maid who spoke panicked and hurriedly added,

"You are the most beautiful woman Xiaotao has ever seen in her life, no exceptions!"

"That's right, that's right! Young Madam's looks are simply prettier than the fairies in picture books."

"The young master must have been delayed by something; please don't be sad."

The other two little maids chimed in eagerly.

A beauty weeping tears, looking so pitiable, instantly tugged at the hearts of the three young girls, prompting them to secretly harbor some silent complaints against their own young master.

Could the eldest young master... really not be capable!

You let out a soft scoff in your heart. Sad?

What this seat is sad about is that so many resources of the Yucha Sect cannot be casually used right now, and what's sad is the delayed progress of the dual cultivation technique.

As for that damn husband, he'd better die out there.

With such a privileged family background, instead of cultivating wholeheartedly within the clan, what on earth is he running around outside fooling around for? And he even euphemistically calls it challenging various proud sons of heaven.

Bah! Your grandma could tear him apart with one hand in the same realm.

"Don't stop your hands."

You lifted your eyelids, which were about to stick together, and gently reminded them.

"Ah? Oh..."

The maids looked at each other, wondering why the young Madam suddenly didn't seem quite so heartbroken anymore.

[...]

When Chi Chuan stepped into the courtyard, what he saw was precisely this leisurely and comfortable scene.

His eyes swept around before finally landing on the woman on the recliner who looked as though she had no bones.

You had actually sensed his arrival long ago, but you didn't act rashly, intending to feel out this person's personality first.

You had seen a portrait of Chi Chuan. How should you describe it... He probably belonged to the muscular and resolute hunk category.

He strode to your side, his height of over 1.9 meters exuding an oppressive aura that completely blocked out the sunlight before you.

Only then did you slowly open your eyes. Meeting gazes, you clearly saw the disdain and scrutiny in his eyes, devoid of even a shred of amazement.

Good heavens, he's a tough nut to crack.

Dealing with this type of person required two methods.

The first was to back down and overcome hardness with softness. But looking at the hint of disgust in the depths of his eyes, you knew that blindly backing down would only make this kind of person worse.

So you spoke up.

"You still know how to come back?"

That merciless tone of questioning not only stunned the three maids, but even Chi Chuan didn't react for a moment.

"Running out to fool around on the day of our wedding is not only a sign of disrespect towards me, but also a contempt for my master, Master Huoyan!"

Without waiting for him to speak, you, who had already occupied the moral high ground, hurriedly pressed your advantage.

"Have you considered the feelings of Father and Mother? Do you want to destroy the friendship between the two great sects?"

Chi Chuan fell silent.

Because he had nothing to say, and even felt that what you said made a lot of sense.

"This matter was indeed my..."

You directly waved your hand to interrupt him again, sweeping away that lazy demeanor.

After sitting up straight, the other person's height of 1.9 meters somehow gave the impression of being a head shorter in front of you.

Before he could frown, your heart-piercing chain of questions was hurled out once more.

"Who did you go out to challenge this time? What was their cultivation level? Did you win or lose?"

Chi Chuan moved his lips, and in the end, not a single word of his bellyful of words could come out.

Because he lost, all his words became mere excuses.

The phrase "What right do you have to manage my business" ended up stuck in his throat, because the woman before him was already his nominal wife, and she truly had the qualification to question his affairs.

Little brat! How could you ever lose to this group of honest immortal cultivators when playing with language.

The truly superior strategy was never to prove one's innocence. Instead, it was to strike first and make the opponent fall into the trap of self-proof, thus remaining in an invincible position.

Seeing his frustrated yet completely unconvinced expression, you knew the time to deliver the final blow had arrived.

You slowly stood up, came before Chi Chuan, looked him up and down, and sneered dismissively.

"What is your cultivation level?"

He originally didn't want to answer, as it would make him look foolish, always being led by the nose by this woman.

But seeing your disdainful gaze, he couldn't help himself, slightly raising his chin in an attempt to regain a shred of arrogance.

"Late Foundation Establishment."

"Oh..."

You responded blandly, and without waiting for him to flare up, you uttered something shocking once again.

"You and I fight a battle in the same realm. Whoever wins calls the shots at home from now on. Do you dare accept?"

Chi Chuan originally wanted to say, why fight in the same realm, but looking at the petite and delicate appearance of the woman before him, he couldn't bring himself to say such words.

Likewise, he didn't believe that under the same realm, he couldn't even defeat a woman.

"Fine!"

The moment his voice fell, a fair fist rapidly magnified in his pupils. Before the fist wind even arrived, Chi Chuan felt a chill on his cheeks, the fierce energy acting like a razor blade, scratching his skin with a dull pain.

Body cultivator?!!

Chi Chuan was startled inwardly. With a wave of his hand, a shield materialized while his figure rapidly retreated.

"Bang——Crack!"

The top-tier magic artifact shield shattered at the sound, and the figure dressed in red did not reduce her speed by even a fraction, wrapping around him once again like a phantom.

"Damn it!"

Chi Chuan cursed inwardly. The opponent's movement technique was no worse than his, and having lost the initiative, it was somewhat difficult to break the deadlock right now.

In the world of immortal cultivation, everyone looked down on body cultivators, but everyone knew that one must absolutely never let a body cultivator get close.

At the same time, the three little maids had already sprinted out of the courtyard with loud thudding footsteps, shouting as they ran:

"Bad news! Bad news! The young master has started beating the young madam!"

(I fell asleep and was dazed, brothers. I was so busy yesterday that I slept until past two in the afternoon, and hurriedly dragged myself up to write a chapter.)
