Against the Gods Volume 1: Beauty in Disaster Chapter 9: Wife, are you asleep?



I married a wife who was as beautiful as a fairy, but on the wedding night I couldn’t touch her, couldn’t feel her, couldn’t even get on the bed, could only hug my knees and curl up in the corner against the wall...

Xiao Che truly felt the malice of this world.

The red candle flickered, casting an ambiguous light on the bridal chamber. The room suddenly fell into a long silence. Both of them were dressed in red. One sat coldly and quietly by the bed, while the other huddled in a corner, looking pitiful and only able to faintly hear the sound of his own breathing.

After a long while, Xiao Che finally couldn't help himself and said, "You're not...really going to let me spend the night here, are you?"

Xia Qingyue's long eyelashes fluttered slightly, and her graceful body twisted slightly, and she lay on the bed. The bright red bed curtains fell, so that Xiao Che could only see a vague figure under the candlelight. Immediately, Xia Qingyue waved her hand, and the two red candles were extinguished at the same time in a gust of cold wind... so that Xiao Che could not even see her shadow.

"..." If it wasn't impossible for him to beat this woman, he would have forced himself on her just because of her cold and arrogant look.

"I was really just joking just now. Let alone being drunk, I didn't even drink a drop of alcohol the whole afternoon... You can't even take a joke. You really have no sense of humor at all." Xiao Che muttered with a look of resentment on his face.

“I know you’re not drunk.” Xia Qingyue finally spoke up: “But I’m disgusted by men who urinate and defecate anywhere.”

Urinating and defecating anywhere?

Could it be... that was the "splashing" sound made when the wine in the Sky Poison Pearl was drained out?

Holy shit!!

Xiao Che's eyes widened, and he immediately jumped up in anger: "You said I urinated and defecated anywhere? Which eye of yours saw me urinate and defecate anywhere! What you heard was the sound of me pouring wine! Pouring wine... pouring wine! How could I, a seven-foot-tall man of the Xiao Clan, do such an uncultured and uneducated thing! You can look down on my profound strength, but you cannot insult my noble character and personality!!"

Xiao Che roared, and after a while, he heard Xia Qingyue's leisurely voice: "I was joking too."

"!@#¥%..." Xiao Che almost vomited blood.

Xiao Che sat back in the corner depressed and didn't say anything for a long time... This woman actually knows how to joke! !

Normally, I can sleep in a comfortable bed, but on my wedding night, I can only sleep in the corner... It's strange that I can sleep well! After holding it in for a long time, Xiao Che finally spoke again: "By the way, when will you return to Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace? Tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow?"

Xia Qingyue: “!?”

Xiao Che smiled and said calmly, "Although I know very little about Bingyun Immortal Palace, I at least know that Bingyun Immortal Palace only accepts women and prohibits love and sexual desire. There are countless beauties in Bingyun Immortal Palace, but I have never heard of any of them getting married. But you married me. It seems that even in Bingyun Immortal Palace, your talent is still amazing. Maybe you are a top genius that is hard to come by in a century. Otherwise, Bingyun Immortal Palace would not have broken this precedent because of you."

Xia Qingyue: “…”

Xiao Che raised his head, looked at the darkness above his head, and continued: "With someone like you, Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace will definitely want to let you enter Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace in the shortest possible time. There are peerless masters that ordinary profound practitioners will hardly see in their lifetime, and there are countless natural treasures. Under these conditions, your profound strength and status will soar into the sky in a short period of time. You should be leaving soon, right?"

Xia Qingyue remained silent for a long time before she uttered a hazy voice: “One month.”

"One month?" Xiao Che showed a hint of surprise on his face, then smiled slightly, lowered his head, and whispered, "Thank you."

Xia Qingyue: “?”

"This month should be something you fought for for me, right? If it was Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace, they would definitely not be willing to let you waste so much time on a loser like me. You are a proud daughter of heaven. Judging from how much you are valued by Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace, your achievements in the future may be enough to reach the level of the Palace Master of Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace. Others laugh at me, mock me, and never take me seriously. But you, who will surely look down on the Blue Wind Empire in the future, are not only willing to marry me, but you have also been trying your best to protect my ridiculous dignity as a man... Although I know that you do all this just to repay my deceased father, I still thank you."

“No need.” Xia Qingyue replied without any emotion. But her heart was slightly moved, because what he guessed was absolutely correct. When her master found her, he told her that her talent was rare even in Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace. She even said that after bringing her into Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace, she was confident that she would be able to break through the Spiritual Profound Realm and reach the Earthly Profound Realm when she was twenty years old… a realm that even Xiao Lie, the number one master in Floating Cloud City, had not been able to reach.

To reach the Earth Profound Realm before the age of twenty... this was a fantasy that the people of Floating Cloud City could not even imagine.

"Before marrying you, I thought you would look down on me like most people do, but in fact, you are much better than I thought. Not only are you beautiful and talented, but you are also very kind. As a woman, you can really be said to be perfect..."

Xia Qingyue: “…”

"Well, since you are so kind, you would not want to see your husband sleeping in the corner on your wedding night, right? My bed is quite big, so it won't be crowded for two people to sleep on it..."

Before Xiao Che could finish his words, a cold murderous aura rushed towards him, causing him to shiver all over: "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll throw you out!"

Xiao Che twisted his mouth and shut up, then sat back down in dismay after his butt just left the ground.

“Someone is coming.” Xia Qingyue said suddenly.

After a long while, Xiao Che heard a very faint sound of footsteps. If he hadn't listened attentively, he would never have been able to detect this sound. The owner of the footsteps first stopped at the courtyard gate for a while, then approached cautiously, and stopped moving forward after reaching the center of the courtyard... Because there was Xia Qingyue in the room, whom he couldn't afford to offend, so after looking around furtively in the courtyard for a long time, he left cautiously again.

It was late at night, but Xiao Yulong had not fallen asleep. He looked out the window with a gloomy look, his expression changing from time to time.

At this time, the door was pushed open, and Xiao Yang hurried in. Xiao Yulong turned around and asked with a slanted look: "How is it?"

"Well..." Xiao Yang looked at Xiao Yulong's face and said carefully: "I just went to check, Xiao Che seemed... seemed not to be locked outside."

"..." Xiao Yulong's face suddenly darkened.

Xiao Yang's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly said, "But you don't have to worry, big brother. Xia Qingyue has always looked down upon the sons of the City Lord's Mansion and the Yuwen family, so there is no way she would be interested in that loser Xiao Che. He was not kicked out, probably... probably because she felt sorry for him and was afraid that he would be laughed at... Although he is in the same room with Xia Qingyue now, they are definitely not on the same bed. Maybe he is lying on the floor... It must be like this."

Xiao Yulong’s face was gloomy. He looked towards Xiao Che’s courtyard with a gloomy look and clenched his hands, “Xia Qingyue is the woman I want. No one else can touch her!! Tomorrow, ask Xiao Che to come out. I want to test him myself! I must not let him touch Xia Qingyue!!”

"Yes!" Xiao Yang responded quickly.

Xiao Che huddled in the corner until most of the night, still unable to sleep. He opened his eyes, raised his left hand, and looked at the palm of his left hand. In the darkness, the faint green light from the Sky Poison Pearl was clearly particularly eye-catching.

In Cang Yun Continent, with the help of the power of the Sky Poison Pearl, he stirred up the world alone, causing unrest in the entire Cang Yun Continent... However, he almost exhausted all his poisonous power!

For example, the Sky Poison Pearl merged with his body, but he could hardly feel any poison from the Sky Poison Pearl that had become a part of his body. In the hunt that forced him to death, he used the poison of the Sky Poison Pearl to kill many peerless masters, but he also overdrew the power of the Sky Poison Pearl, making its poison power run out... Overdrawing and exhaustion are two different concepts. Exhaustion can be slowly recovered, but overdrawing means that even the source of power is almost exhausted, and perhaps even recovery is impossible.

The Sky Poison Pearl now only has the ability to detoxify, refine, and fuse... and of course, store items.

Now my profound veins are crippled, the poison of the Sky Poison Pearl is also crippled, and I am in a small town that is never taken seriously. After a long period of silence, Xiao Che's heart was at a loss... As I am now, let alone protecting my grandfather and little aunt, I don't even have the qualifications to avoid being ridiculed...

What’s even more unbearable is…he doesn’t even have the ability to force himself on the wife he married!

In order to have enough strength, the most basic step should be to repair one's destroyed Xuanmai.

Repairing the Mysterious Veins...

Xia Qingyue said with certainty that it was impossible for his profound veins to recover to the same level as an ordinary person. But for him, this was not impossible, because he was the descendant of the Medical Saint! His master had told him more than once that the principles of medicine were like the law of cause and effect. Where there is a cause, there must be an effect. Where there is an illness, there must be a cure. In this world, there are no patients who cannot be cured, only doctors who are incompetent.

Xiao Che had been thinking about how to repair the damaged Xuanmai for the whole day. His Xuanmai was not damaged when he grew up, but was damaged when he was born. It was completely damaged and could not be repaired by conventional means. Therefore, if he wanted to repair it, he had to purify the existing damaged Xuanmai first and let it grow again. The process was basically the same as abolishing the current damaged Xuanmai and regenerating a complete Xuanmai. Not to mention how difficult it was, the risk alone was extremely high. The Xuanmai was connected to the lifeline, and if he was not careful during the process, he would die directly.

To destroy the old veins and cultivate new ones, at least three things are needed...

"Wife, are you asleep?" Xiao Che asked.

After a long while, there was no response.

"Ahem, wife, you're not really asleep, are you?" Xiao Che asked again.

“My name is Xia Qingyue!” Xia Qingyue’s voice was gentle yet cold.

“I know your name is Xia Qingyue.” Xiao Che scratched his forehead and said in a very strange tone: “Wife, I have something I want to ask you.”

“Call me Xia Qingyue!” Xia Qingyue was angry.

"Oh, OK!" Xiao Che nodded, and then asked seriously: "Wife, if you go to Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace, can you get the seven mysterious exquisite grass, purple veined sky crystal, and the mysterious pill of the earth-profound beast?"
