Marry the Demon Sect Girl with No Bride Price

Chapter 558 - 218: Husband and Wife Walking the Same Path

"Me?"

Qiu Zhihe was taken aback, lowered her head, and softly said:

"I will go where I ought to go."

In her original plan, once her cultivation was fully restored and Qin Gengyun reached a high position, she would return to being the Demon Sect Saintess Xia Qinglian and slaughter the Three Great Sects.

When the world was engulfed in fear of the Witch, Qin Gengyun would then kill her, ending it all.

By then, Qin Gengyun’s reputation would be unparalleled, and he would naturally assume the position of Sect Leader of the Zhenyang Sect.

Cultivation resources would be endless, and he would have access to all cultivation methods.

Thus, Qin Gengyun would surely ascend, become immortal.

And as for her, by then, she might have already transformed into a star in the sky or the grass and trees on the ground, indifferent to the joys or sorrows of the world.

This outcome was already quite satisfactory.

However, last night’s conversation between Xue Wu and Qin Gengyun revealed a completely new path to Qiu Zhihe.

Clear the Cyan Lotus Sect’s five hundred-year wrongful charges, expose the secrets of the Zhenyang Sect, and reverse the positions of right and wrong.

The Cyan Lotus Sect, backed by the great momentum of the Righteous Path, like when the Three Great Sects annihilated the Cyan Lotus Sect, would crush the Zhenyang Sect with the so-called power of the Righteous Path, aligned with the people’s hearts!

If this could truly be achieved, she would be able to be with Qin Gengyun openly and honestly, never to be separated.

However, although this path seemed grand, the dangers it included were likely even greater.

Qiu Zhihe worried that they might not reach the end before Qin Gengyun might encounter the same fate as her senior sister or master.

That was why she became upset last night and drove Qin Gengyun out of the room.

Because she did not know whether they should take this path.

"My dear, without you by my side, even if I ascend and become immortal, it would only be eternal loneliness and pain, what’s the point?"

Qin Gengyun’s gentle voice rose, Qiu Zhihe clenched her small hand and bit her lip:

"If I’m not here, you’ll have Susu, and Xiaolan, and this Phoenix Maiden who can always accompany you, how could you be lonely?"

The phoenix under the two of them let out a dissatisfied cry, "Why involve me in your couple’s conversation?"

Qin Gengyun laughed, "My dear, you’re right. How about I marry Susu right now, then Xiaolan, Si Minglan, and Jian Yue, and let them bear my children, wouldn’t that be delightful?"

"You dare! I’m not dead yet!"

Qiu Zhihe stood up and glared at Qin Gengyun.

But saw Qin Gengyun smiling as he looked at her, Qiu Zhihe was taken aback, her delicate face instantly flushed:

"Husband, you’re teasing me!"

Qin Gengyun laughed heartily and embraced her slender waist again, "My dear, think about it. If you’re truly not here, I would have three wives and four concubines, with a courtyard full of children from other women, can you accept that?"

Images of Qin Gengyun surrounded by women, with a house full of sons and grandchildren appeared in Qiu Zhihe’s mind, and she felt her jealousy rising.

"My dear, you’re so jealous, can you really accept me having children with other women?"

Qin Gengyun said with a chuckle.

Qiu Zhihe snorted, "You’ve got it all figured out!"

"If that’s the case, what are you hesitating for? We should unite as husband and wife, expose Zhenyang Sect, and revitalize the Cyan Lotus Sect, living honorably together for the rest of our lives, wouldn’t that be wonderful?"

Qin Gengyun’s voice was full of persuasive power, and Qiu Zhihe lowered her head, silent for a long time.

Finally, she raised her head and looked at Qin Gengyun, her beautiful eyes filled with soft affection:

"Husband, I entrust the deep-seated enmity of my sect to you."

Qin Gengyun smiled, "Alright."

"Remember, you must not take risks. If anything happens to you, I won’t live alone either."

"Alright."

Their eyes intertwined, lips slowly drawing closer.

After a moment, as the Celestial Phoenix Maiden flew and weaved through the clouds, she suddenly heard an odd sizzling sound from behind.

Curious, she turned her head to look, and her body trembled, almost falling from the sky.

This disturbance also woke the two on her back, Qiu Zhihe quickly pushed Qin Gengyun away, glared at him in embarrassment:

"Husband, it’s all your fault!"

Qin Gengyun also blushed a little, the atmosphere had been so perfect just now that they both forgot there was an actual phoenix under them.

It was indeed unfair to the Celestial Phoenix Maiden, they really hadn’t regarded her as a person just now.

Qiu Zhihe blushed for a while, her hand suddenly resting on the back of the phoenix, and the Celestial Phoenix Maiden felt a chill, quickly saying:

"I didn’t see anything just now!"

Qiu Zhihe nodded in satisfaction, Qin Gengyun amusedly said, "My dear, don’t scare little Huang."

Qiu Zhihe stared at him, "What, heartache?"

Qin Gengyun said helplessly, "My dear, everything about you is wonderful, but this jealous habit you have should be changed. Someone so dignified and beautiful shouldn’t have a reputation for being jealous."

"Husband is right, I’ll change."

Qiu Zhihe humbly accepted the advice, then suddenly asked:

"By the way, husband, who did you say you wanted to marry?"

Qin Gengyun was taken aback, "My dear, I was just giving an example!"

Qiu Zhihe started counting with her slender fingers: "Susu, she’s already my maid, like a dowry maid, marrying her isn’t excessive, I can overlook that."

"Xiaolan, is a close female friend of yours, if it really comes to that day, and you want to take her as a concubine, I won’t oppose it either."

"But what do you mean by Si Minglan, and Jian Yue!"

Qiu Zhihe’s eyes turned cold, "Qin Gengyun, your thoughts are quite wild, aren’t they?"

Qin Gengyun started sweating on his forehead, "My dear, I only said that to provoke you!"

Qiu Zhihe caressed the Phoenix Maiden, smiling without actually smiling, "Husband, why not take this bird too?"

The Phoenix Maiden’s feathers quivered, "Can you two keep your quarrel to yourselves and not involve me? What does it have to do with me?!

"My dear, I was wrong, Little Huang is watching, at least give me some face! Ah!"

After an indeterminate amount of time, peace was finally restored on the phoenix’s back, with Qiu Zhihe cold-faced as she was held in Qin Gengyun’s embrace, ultimately not acting up again.

The couple then turned to serious matters, Qiu Zhihe asked:

"Husband, if we are to expose Zhenyang Sect and revive Cyan Lotus Sect, what is your plan?"

Qin Gengyun said, "The first step is to uncover the truth from five hundred years ago."

Qiu Zhihe said, "Even Jian Yue doesn’t know what happened between Cyan Lotus Sect and Zhenyang Sect five hundred years ago. To uncover these secrets, we probably need to reach a position like Tantai Mingyue’s."

Qin Gengyun smiled, "We don’t need to work so hard to climb to that position, we just need to capture the person sitting there and ask."

Qiu Zhihe was astonished, "Husband, you intend to capture Tantai Mingyue for questioning?"

Tantai Mingyue was the Deputy Sect Leader of Zhenyang Sect, capturing her for questioning seemed way too audacious!

Qiu Zhihe looked at Qin Gengyun with disbelief, never expecting her husband to have an even wilder approach than herself as the Demon Sect Saintess.

Qin Gengyun seemed completely unfazed by the audacity of his suggestion and smiled, "It’s too early to implement this plan; before that, there’s something else that’s more feasible."

Qiu Zhihe had a sudden insight, "Wei Wan?"

Qin Gengyun said, "Indeed, during this journey to the South Demon, we must find a way to help Wei Wan find her biological parents and make her reveal her adoptive father’s identity."

Qiu Zhihe understood, "You suspect Wei Wan’s adoptive father is in the Zhenyang Sect? If we find him, we can prove Zhenyang Sect’s collusion with Spirit Corpse Mountain in their misdeeds?"
