398: Chapter 398 Returning to the Academy to See Senior Sister Again

Leaving Taihuang Heaven, Qin Wushang returned to the Desolate Heaven Domain.

He immediately returned to the Great Chu Imperial Palace, but he did not see Chu Yuehua herself.

She was still in seclusion, pushing for her breakthrough to Alternative Great Emperor.

After staying at the Great Chu Imperial Palace for a few days, Qin Wushang could no longer stay still and returned to the Great Chu Academy.

He arrived once again at Qijian Peak.

Amidst the sound of wind through the pines and the swirling mist, a figure as vibrant and intense as red clouds stood tall and graceful.

Ye Hongfu had been waiting here for a long time.

Dressed in red clothes that outshone fire, with features as beautiful as a painting, her cool and elegant eyes instantly filled with laughter when she saw him return.

“Junior Brother, you're finally back.”

Ye Hongfu brushed her sleeves and walked forward to meet him, her tone carrying a hint of coquettish concern.

She had waited for a long time before finally seeing this familiar figure.

“This trip to the Immortal Tomb took several months. Why do you look so much thinner? Were you drained by some vixen?”

“That couldn't be... It's just that I missed Senior Sister too much. I couldn't eat or drink, so I grew thin from hunger.”

Qin Wushang smiled.

“Hmph! I don't believe you!”

Ye Hongfu let out a cold snort.

She naturally knew Qin Wushang was talking nonsense, but the corners of her mouth still couldn't help but slowly curve upward.

Her stinky Junior Brother still cared about her; at least he would say some sweet words to coax her.

Qin Wushang stepped forward and took her slightly cool hand, his warm palm enveloping it. He said in a deep voice, “The journey was long, and I was delayed by a few tedious matters.”

“Senior Sister, why didn't you go to the Immortal Tomb to train?”

Qin Wushang pulled her to sit on a stone stool.

Ye Hongfu looked up, her beautiful eyes reflecting the stars above the peak, every glance filled with playful reproach.

“I went.”

She stood up, walked in front of him, leaned in slightly, and stared at him with burning eyes.

“But when I arrived, I heard that you had been taken away by that woman, Mu Bingyun.”

“I went to the tavern to find you, and they said you had been abducted by that woman, Di Qingli.”

“How could I have the heart to stay out there and train? I turned back immediately.”

She stepped closer, staring intently into his eyes.

“Junior Brother, she didn't make things difficult for you, did she?”

Regarding Di Qingli, although she didn't know her well, who in the entire Five Domains and Two Heavens didn't know that she was a ruthless character?

She had actually prepared for the worst in her heart.

Qin Wushang looked at her furrowed brows, his heart softening, yet he still deliberately shook his head.

“Senior Sister needn't worry; she did not make things difficult for me.”

“Really?”

Ye Hongfu raised an eyebrow, clearly unconvinced. She reached out and gently poked his chest.

“I don't believe it.”

“With my Junior Brother's physique and appearance, you're practically a walking piece of longevity meat. Who wouldn't want to take a bite after seeing you?”

“Would she let you go so easily?”

Before she finished speaking, she suddenly reached out and pulled Qin Wushang into her arms, her arms tightly locking around his neck as if she wanted to rub herself into his heart.

“Quickly tell the truth, did she have designs on you?”

Ye Hongfu's voice was muffled.

Qin Wushang's body stiffened. He broke free from her hands, then stood up and hugged her back.

“Really! How could she possibly make things difficult for me?”

He paused, shifted his tone, and quickly changed his words.

“However... ahem, Senior Sister, I gave all the savings I recently accumulated to her as a sign of respect.”

As he said this, he seemed to wilt, leaning against Ye Hongfu's shoulder.

“Senior Sister, I don't want to hide it from you.”

“But it was because my strength was too shallow. In that Taihuang Heaven, there were some situations I simply had no power to resist.”

“She is too strong.”

He looked up and continued to add: “But even so, in my heart, there will only ever be Senior Sister.”

“No matter how good others are, they cannot compare to half of you.”

Hearing this, Ye Hongfu's originally tense body instantly softened.

She let out a soft hum against his broad chest and rubbed against him forcefully, carrying a hint of indulgent jealousy.

“Hmph, I knew you slippery fellow were up to no good!”

She stood on her tiptoes and gave him a gentle kiss on the cheek.

“Silly Junior Brother... does being bullied by an Empress feel better than being bullied by Senior Sister?”

She asked.

“Uh... Senior Sister, how can you think that?”

Qin Wushang was surprised.

She was actually able to say such things.

“The books say... men all love to conquer, they have a full desire for conquest!”

“Senior Sister knows very well what kind of person you are; naturally, you wouldn't be content to submit beneath Di Qingli.”

“You would definitely bully her back.”

Ye Hongfu's words made Qin Wushang's face turn slightly red.

He had to admit!

Her guess was correct; she hit the mark.

“Ahem... Actually, it's the same for Senior Sister.”

“I... am a man of broad love. Bullying Senior Sister also gives a full sense of conquest.”

As he spoke, he raised his hand and covered the soft flesh in front of her, giving it a firm squeeze.

“Hmph! Bad Junior Brother!”

Ye Hongfu snorted and broke out of his embrace.

“Sigh... there's no love anymore, no love... Senior Sister has changed, completely changed!”

“She's actually started to hate me!”

Qin Wushang had a look of disappointment and turned to leave.

“Stop! Get over here! When did this Empress ever say I hated you?!”

Ye Hongfu naturally knew what kind of person he was. She immediately gained a powerful Aura and scolded him in the tone of an Empress.

Qin Wushang ran back eagerly.

The two of them sat down at the stone table on Qijian Peak.

Spiritual tea misted, its fragrance curling in the air.

Ye Hongfu picked up the teapot and poured a full cup for him, her eyes flashing: “What, do you need this Empress to feed you as well?”

“Ahem... No need, I'll do it myself.”

Qin Wushang picked up the teacup and took a sip.

“Senior Sister... you have that flavor now. Even if your strength is a bit lacking, the temperament is there.”

He said with a smile.

“Then do you like it?”

Ye Hongfu asked, continuing to pour tea.

“I like it!”

“As long as it's Senior Sister, no matter what kind of Senior Sister you are, I like you.”

Qin Wushang's smile grew even broader.

“That's good.”

Ye Hongfu smiled brilliantly and poked his forehead.

“Only you would dare to show your edge in front of an Empress.”

“Right, during this time, I have also pushed against the Bottleneck of the Saint King Realm. I'll take this opportunity for us to have a good spar here on Qijian Peak.”

“I had the same idea.”

Qin Wushang put down his teacup, his interest piqued.

He also wanted to test just how sharp Ye Hongfu's sword was and what level her Dao had reached.

On the open ground of Qijian Peak, Qin Wushang summoned the crimson blood blade.

Ye Hongfu, dressed in red, picked up a longsword shimmering with flowing light, her sword-like eyebrows slightly raised.

“Junior Brother, today I want to see just how much your saber path has progressed since returning from Taihuang Heaven!”

“And just how much benefit you obtained from that Di Qingli!”

“Senior Sister, feel free to attack; there's no need to hold back.”

Qin Wushang stood with his saber, his Aura instantly surging as the pressure of the Saint King Realm spread out like a tsunami.

“To battle!!”

Ye Hongfu gave a light shout, her red clothes fluttering as her sword light fell like a waterfall.

Her sword path was nimble and ethereal, every Move exquisite and aimed at vital points.

Unfazed, Qin Wushang swung his long saber horizontally, his peerlessly fierce Saber Qi clashing violently with her sharp Sword Qi.

“Clang!”

The sound of clashing metal shook the heavens, and sparks flew in all directions.

As the terrifying Saber Qi and Sword Qi collided, the Sword Qi instantly transformed into a blurry figure.

This surprised Qin Wushang!

That Sword Qi had actually taken on his appearance!

“What a domineering saber momentum!”

Ye Hongfu leaped lightly, avoiding the saber's edge, then spun her body, her sword light like a ribbon of silk.

“Behold my sword, Thousand-Fold Flowing Clouds!”

Qin Wushang's eyes narrowed. He whirled his long saber, creating a curtain of blades like a shield that forcibly blocked this thunderous strike.

The two of them exchanged blows, saber light and sword shadows intertwining on Qijian Peak.

“Again!”

Qin Wushang tapped his foot, and his whole person shot out like an arrow from a bow, his long saber cleaving through the air and tearing at the sky.

Ye Hongfu did not dare to be careless. She circulated the Sacred Power within her body at full speed, her sword light exploding as she met him head-on.

“Boom!”

A terrifying energy storm exploded with the two at its center. The mist on Qijian Peak was instantly blown away, the entire mountain shook violently, and even the great formation emitted a low hum.

Such power was truly world-shaking!

In various parts of the Great Chu Academy, countless Disciples and Elders looked up one after another, their expressions changing drastically.

“It's coming from the direction of Qijian Peak! This Aura... it's Qin Wushang and Senior Sister Ye Hongfu!”

“My God! Both are already in the Saint King Realm. Are they fighting to the death?”

“What terrifying combat power! As expected of the Supreme Double Pupils!”

“Good heavens... when he first came to the academy, he was nothing but an ant, and I was already in the God King Realm... now he's a Saint King and I'm still a God King. We're both human, why are you so unfair!”

Discussions broke out everywhere; the entire academy was shaken by this battle.

Qin Wushang had grown too fast, so fast that many people had not even reacted before being surpassed.

“This kid... he causes such a huge commotion as soon as he returns. He really isn't a good thing!”

In a quiet courtyard, the Dean squinted his eyes as he looked toward Qijian Peak, his smile growing more intense.

“Getting a bargain and still acting like a victim is exactly the kind of person you are!”

“I really want to hit you.”

Grand Master Mo Hongchen said a word, and her figure disappeared.

Meanwhile.

The two on the peak had already entered a state of self-forgetfulness.

“Junior Brother, your saber path is more accurate and even more domineering! That invincible momentum is truly terrifying!”

Ye Hongfu spoke with a smile, her offensive never slowing.

“Senior Sister's sword is also faster.”

Qin Wushang responded in a deep voice, accurately meeting her Moves with every collision.

After a long period of fierce fighting, the two simultaneously withdrew their Auras.

Qin Wushang held his saber protectively at his side.

Ye Hongfu sheathed her sword. Fine beads of sweat broke out on her forehead, and the corners of her red clothes were dampened by sweat, making her look even more enchanting.

“A draw.”

Qin Wushang said.

“You held back again... how could it be a draw.”

Ye Hongfu gave a bitter smile.

She knew very well that even if Qin Wushang were only in the Saint Realm, she would be no match for him.

Even if he didn't use any Divine Ability!

“I won this round... but later, when we fight another round... it's not certain who will win.”

Qin Wushang had a wicked smile on his face.

Ye Hongfu walked to his side, handed him a silk handkerchief, and said softly: “You only think of bad things.”

Qin Wushang took the handkerchief and gently wiped the sweat from the corner of her lips, his gaze tender.

“Does Senior Sister not like it?”

As he spoke, a flash of light fell upon the two of them, cleaning everything up.

Then he stepped forward and pulled her into his arms.

“Mmph...”

Before Ye Hongfu could react, her mouth was directly blocked, leaving her unable to speak.

A large hand wandered over her body with extreme skill.

Next, a great formation enveloped Qijian Peak, isolating it from all prying eyes.
