Chapter 37 Chapter 37 Pei Zichen How Dare He
Pei Zichen's emotions came along with his spiritual power. With the unconscious rubbing of his forehead and the friction of his arm sliding across his shoulders, a strange feeling suddenly arose. Jiang Zhaoxue opened her eyes suddenly in shock and raised her hand to push Pei Zichen away in panic.
Pei Zichen remained motionless after being pushed. He only looked up in confusion and called out softly, "Master's Wife?"
Jiang Zhaoxue's heart beat faster. She felt that something was wrong with her. The voice sounded like seduction to her ears.
She smelled the alcohol on Pei Zichen's body, secretly cursed herself a few times, and hurriedly pushed him, saying, "Hurry up and get up. Don't act like a spoiled child at such a young age. Go back to bed. We have important things to do tomorrow."
Pei Zichen paused for a moment before realizing what he had done. Perhaps because he was drunk, he couldn't think much. He could only prop himself up and said with a headache, "It was my disciple who offended me."
Jiang Zhaoxue climbed to his feet, feeling guilty, and pulled the crane's reins. He coughed softly, "It's indeed offensive, but you're my servant, and you're drunk and happy. I understand why you want to enter my sea of consciousness to share my joy."
Pei Zichen listened in a daze. Jiang Zhaoxue didn't dare to stay any longer, so she quickly rode her crane back to Ye Mansion and sent Pei Zichen back to his room.
Pei Zichen was clearly drunk, stumbling a bit as he walked, but he still had some sense left in him. He kept refusing, "Master's Wife, I can go back by myself."
"It's okay, it's okay," Jiang Zhaoxue was afraid that he would fall to the ground halfway, so she helped him into the house, put him on the bed, covered him with a quilt, and comforted him, "Don't fall, get some rest."
As she spoke, she pulled the quilt over Li Xiuji and quickly fled the room: "Let's go."
She hurriedly closed the door and ran back to the room.
When she returned to her room, she fanned herself, breathed a sigh of relief, and poured herself a glass of water according to Anan's instructions, which eased her mood a little.
Anan saw her nervous look and was puzzled: "Why are you so nervous?"
Jiang Zhaoxue didn't say anything, just took another sip of water. After she calmed down completely, she finally returned to bed, pulled the quilt over herself, and couldn't help but recall the moment just now.
She is not ignorant.
Although it was not completely successful, compared to Pei Zichen, she still had some experience with men and women.
After all, she and Shen Yuqing actually had a pretty good time together.
At that time, they had not yet married, and the Nine Nether Realm had not violated the boundary. These were the most carefree days for her and Shen Yuqing.
She has nothing to do every day, and her biggest hobby is to block him.
He catches monsters, she stakes out.
He experienced it, she met him by chance.
At that time, she was still the most dazzling pearl in the True Fairyland. Being pestered by such a favored girl, even if Shen Yuqing refused verbally, she must still be moved.
So every time, even though I told her to go back, I would still accept her clumsy lies.
He would help her up if she fell, and carry her on his back if she sprained her ankle, so she always felt that he must like her, but was just shy, and she needed to try harder.
They've been together for so long, everyone says they'll be together, and he seems to be almost accepting it.
She just remembered that one day they killed a water monster and it rained heavily. He and she were soaked. She pulled him into the cave and he took her to spend the night in the cave.
He used clothes to separate the two of them, but she still had the courage to lean over and saw him taking off all his clothes and changing them.
That was the first time she saw his naked body. Seeing the water droplets sliding down his muscles, she felt as if the water droplets were falling on her heart. That night she was restless, her mouth was dry, and she tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
Shen Yuqing's breathing was also shallow, and it was obvious that he was not asleep either.
In the end, she probably knew what she wanted to do, so she said cautiously through the curtain: "Chen Zeyuan, can I... touch you?"
Shen Zeyuan listened and his breathing stagnated.
Jiang Zhaoxue originally thought that he was going to scold her for being a demon, but he just remained silent.
After a long time, she actually felt him reaching out his hand, taking her hand, and touching him through the curtain.
That touch was like a fire. Shen Yuqing almost did it to the end that night, but suddenly woke up at the last moment.
He panted softly, raised his hands to cover her eyes, and said in a hoarse voice: "Wait for me..."
He bent down and kissed her: "Axue, wait for me to go back and report to the master..."
"I'm here to marry you."
It was he who said he was coming to marry her.
Jiang Zhaoxue finally remembered vaguely.
But Shen Yuqing regretted it as soon as he returned.
Perhaps he still despised her because she was a demon cultivator, or maybe he woke up as soon as he got out of bed. Anyway, he returned to Lingjian Fairy Pavilion and there was no news from him. She waited for a long time in Penglai and happily told Jiang Zhaoyue that he would definitely bring the ancestor Gujun to propose marriage.
As a result, I waited day after day, but in the end, all I received was his apology letter.
She was so angry that she led people to attack Lingjian Xian Pavilion, but the Jiuyou Realm invaded the border, so he went to the front line.
The Nine Netherworld Realm and the True Immortal Realm fought for almost a year. During that year, they traveled back and forth between the two places. She was a destiny master and was always protected at the back.
He is always on the front line.
It wasn't until the battle at Cangming Sea, when she ran all the way to save him, that they finally met again. At that time, she didn't want to ask him why.
She just wanted to save him and keep him alive.
But after saving him, he didn't appreciate it. Over the years, he always blamed her for acting on her own, blaming her for saving him and forcing him into marriage.
She became more and more perverse in the face of such blame. She didn't understand what she had done wrong. It was he who said he would marry her, and it was the Spirit Sword Immortal Pavilion who arranged the marriage. But after the marriage, he ignored her and touching her was like she was forcing him.
But the more he resisted, the more she wanted him to give in.
For two hundred years, she used soft and hard methods, overt and covert methods, drinking and taking drugs, flattering and lying, and used every possible means.
Until the last year in Jiangzhou, she stood in the rain and finally gave up completely.
He had originally given up thinking about her, but one night, a month before Mu Jinyue entered the sect, he suddenly came in the rain.
She woke up in the middle of the night and saw him sitting beside the bed.
He was feeling the coldness of the rainy night. When he saw Jiang Zhaoxue waking up, he turned to look at her.
Jiang Zhaoxue was half asleep. She pushed herself up and slowly realized who was sitting next to her. She murmured, "A Yuan?"
Shen Yuqing slowly raised her eyes, and he looked at her quietly in the night for a long time.
Then he came closer to her little by little. She thought he wanted to teach her a lesson again and frowned: "What are you trying to do now..."
Before she even uttered the word "crazy", he kissed her.
She opened her eyes wide, feeling that he was restrained and gentle, just like when he first kissed her as a teenager.
She listened to the sound of the rain, opened her eyes wide, and for some reason, she began to cry as he kissed her.
He kissed her and then stopped, only gently touching her forehead and saying in a hoarse voice: "Axue, this is the last time, don't make the same mistake again."
She didn't understand: "What did I do wrong?"
Shen Yuqing didn't say anything. He just leaned against her lightly, seeming very tired.
He leaned against her for a while, and she didn't dare disturb him, so she remained silent.
When she thought he would rest in the house, he stood up again, and resumed his usual cold attitude, and warned: "Brother is in trouble, I will go down the mountain to take care of him, and I will bring back a disciple. You must take good care of her in the future. She is like a sister and a mother, and you must not bully her."
She was a little confused and didn't know why he came to inform her about this in the middle of the night. After all, he had many disciples and she had never taken care of them.
It was not until half a month later that he brought Mu Jinyue back.
Thinking of Mu Jinyue, Jiang Zhaoxue smiled mockingly.
All the sadness and beautiful emotions in her heart disappeared in an instant. She calmed down completely, cursed herself for being so cruel and crazy that she even wanted to have sex with the grass in her own yard, and then closed her eyes.
While Jiang Zhaoxue and Pei Zichen were sleeping soundly, Shen Yuqing followed the people from Tianji Academy to survey the Taotie Tower.
"Everyone here is dead."
Fu Changsheng, the dean of the Tianji Academy, looked at the tragic scene in the private room of the Taotie Building and frowned. "The corpse is broken into pieces and corroded by Yin Qi. The means used are extremely cruel. It seems that many people acted at the same time..."
"No." Shen Yuqing said calmly, "There is only one."
Fu Changsheng turned around in surprise. Shen Yuqing sensed the fluctuations of the surrounding spiritual energy and said calmly, "A thousand years later, I have seen this kind of technique. It is a technique commonly used by demon cultivators in our world. We call it - Yin Zhixian."
Fu Changsheng listened and understood: "No wonder I said that I have never seen such a technique before. It turns out that it does not belong to this world. Then..."
Fu Changsheng was filled with doubt and uncertainty: "Could it be that Fellow Daoist Shen and his wife's beloved disciple are not the only ones who have returned from a thousand years ago?"
"Perhaps."
Shen Yuqing spoke indifferently. After thinking for a moment, she said carefully, "My wife was present at this incident and must know more. I hope that Dean Fu can find the disciple who led the way today as soon as possible. I believe the truth will be revealed."
"Don't worry." Fu Changsheng raised his hand. "As Fellow Daoist Shen has entrusted me, I will do my best. But there is one more thing..."
Fu Changsheng hesitated: "Fellow Daoist Shen, can you confirm with me again, is it on the Third Prince that you saw the True Dragon Aura?"
When Shen Yuqing heard this, he looked up at Fu Changsheng. Fu Changsheng stared at him, obviously wanting an answer.
Shen Yuqing thought for a long time and said honestly: "I am not good at this, but when I first saw him, I did see the aura of a true dragon in His Highness the Third Prince."
"What about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
Fu Changsheng asked, and Shen Yuqing frowned when he heard it: "It seems... there is also."
The true dragon energy in the human world is a sign of the Son of Heaven, and it usually does not appear at the same time among the princes.
Even Shen Yuqing herself was a little unsure of the answer. She simply said, "Let's go find my wife first. If she's here, she'll definitely be able to give Dean Fu an answer."
Upon hearing this, Fu Changsheng quickly said, "Don't worry, I'll check it out tonight."
Shen Yuqing felt relieved after hearing what he said. After thinking for a while, he said, "My disciple's injuries have not healed yet, so I will take my leave first."
Upon hearing this, Fu Changsheng exchanged some pleasantries and then sent Shen Yuqing away.
After Shen Yuqing left the Taotie Tower, the disciple next to him asked tentatively, "Dean, what about tonight's confession?"
"Then..." Fu Changsheng thought for a moment and smiled, "Let's present it as the prince said. This Shen Yuqing... bringing this female disciple to find the lady is really interesting."
Shen Yuqing didn't hear Fu Changsheng's words. He walked out of the Taotie Tower and passed through the corridor where Jiang Zhaoxue and Pei Zichen had walked. Jiang Zhaoxue's last smile kept repeating in his mind.
He had seen that provocative and gorgeous smile countless times when she was young.
Every time she went out to fight or exorcise demons and managed to escape, she couldn't help but provoke the other party.
When he was young, he would run away with her in his arms like this. Every time he saw her getting into trouble, he would think that she was too good at causing trouble, but he couldn't leave her behind. Every time she caused trouble, he would find a way to beat the other party or run away.
Just like Pei Zichen now.
He knew Pei Zichen was just saving her.
After all, she was his disciple for seven years, and he knew Pei Zichen's temperament. Jiang Zhaoxue must be a demonic and difficult to tame, but...
How dare he?
A sharp pain suddenly arose in his heart. He thought of Jiang Zhaoxue with her hands on Pei Zichen's back, sticking her head out of Pei Zichen's arms, and smiling at him provocatively. Murderous intent and pain surged up at him.
That was his master's wife.
How dare he touch her like he did when he was younger?
The anger and hidden anxiety could not be restrained, so that the sword clanged.
When he returned to his residence, Mu Jinyue was waiting for him at the door. Seeing him returning alone, whisk in hand, Mu Jinyue was a little surprised and hurriedly followed him to ask, "Master, where are Master's Wife and Brother? Haven't you seen them?"
"Yes."
Shen Yuqing suppressed his emotions and hurried inside. Mu Jinyue trotted after him into the house. Seeing him sit down, she sized him up and asked anxiously, "Then...where are they?"
"Sit down and take your pulse."
Shen Yuqing didn't answer her, put down the whisk in her hand, and her face showed no emotion.
Mu Jinyue felt uneasy, but didn't dare to say much. She just sat opposite Shen Yuqing and extended her hand.
Ever since she was poisoned by the Spiritual Annihilation Poison four years ago, her health has deteriorated steadily, and her lifespan has shortened. Even a mere assassination attempt on her life would be a serious injury. Shen Yuqing would need to check on her daily condition and replenish her spiritual energy.
Shen Yuqing first checked her pulse, and after a moment, he transferred some spiritual energy to her and said calmly: "You can continue to take the prescription given by the Imperial Hospital. You are not in good health, so you don't need to wait for me in the future. Rest early and go back."
"Master," Mu Jinyue asked tentatively, "Did Senior Brother run away with Master's Wife again?"
Shen Yuqing paused slightly after hearing these words. Mu Jinyue knew the outcome immediately. A look of worry crossed her face. After a moment of thought, she analyzed, "Master, my brothers have escaped from you so many times. I'm sure they must have gotten some treasure. If you try to capture them by force, it won't be easy."
"Don't worry about this," Shen Yuqing turned her head and urged, "It's late, go back to sleep."
“Master!”
Seeing Shen Yuqing's stubbornness, Mu Jinyue pursed her lips and said, "If you don't explain your intentions, they will just keep running away. You don't have much time left."
"I don't understand what you're saying." Shen Yuqing stood up and walked into the inner room. "Get out."
"Master!" Mu Jinyue had already said this, no longer caring about her own life or death. She simply mustered up the courage to stand up and continued in one breath, "Now Master's Wife is protecting Senior Brother, but it's only because she is a fortune teller and doesn't believe in the Book of Destiny. She feels that Senior Brother has been wronged, so she is compensating him to correct Master's mistakes. They ran away when they met Master, but it was only because they were afraid that Master would kill Senior Brother again. In addition, Master's Wife needs to collect the Tracing Light Mirrors to go back, and she needs you. As long as you explain your purpose clearly and bow your head to Master's Wife, she will not leave again."
"What if I'm going to kill Pei Zichen?" Shen Yuqing listened, turned around stubbornly, and stared at the disciple in front of him, as if to prove something, "Will she have to hide from me forever for him?"
Mu Jinyue was stunned, she was trying to figure out what Shen Yuqing was saying.
After realizing that Shen Yuqing cared about Jiang Zhaoxue not choosing her, she hesitated and said, "Master, I know... In the past, Master's wife always thought highly of you. But..."
Mu Jinyue paused, but still mustered up the courage to say, "People do change..."
"Shut up!" Shen Yuqing's pupils shrank when she heard that, and she shouted in shock, as if she was afraid that she would speak out.
Mu Jinyue was startled. Seeing Mu Jinyue's panic-stricken expression, he realized that he had lost his composure.
He tried his best to suppress the trembling hands on his sleeves, turned his head away and didn't dare look at Mu Jinyue, saying only: "You don't know about the relationship between me and your master's wife. She is just angry with me. My marriage with her is related to the dignity of both sects and is deeply involved. She can't just break the contract or divorce at will..."
"Master," Mu Jinyue realized what was happening and immediately interrupted him, looking at him calmly with pity, "I didn't say that Master's Wife would release the contract."
Shen Yuqing froze when he heard this.
Seeing this, Mu Jinyue knew she couldn't continue.
After thinking for a moment, she raised her hand and saluted: "It's late at night and the dew is heavy. Master, please take care of yourself. I will withdraw first."
Having said that, Mu Jinyue turned and walked out.
Shen Yuqing stood there alone, the wind blowing in from the gate, blowing the scattered hair on his temples from the fight, as if someone was gently touching his cheek with a hand, and he laughed "Shen Yuqing, Shen Zeyuan, look at me."
This voice, combined with the bright smile today, suddenly made him feel a little powerless.
Her fingertips curled slightly, and her mind was filled with Jiang Zhaoxue and Pei Zichen today.
Two hundred years later, he is no longer Shen Zeyuan, but she still looks the same as before, as if she has not changed at all.
With a personality like that, if someone is around her for a long time...
She is a demon.
The uncontrollable impulses of his youth and the scenes of him escaping from her in a panic over the past two hundred years flashed through his mind. He couldn't tell whether it was anger or fear, he only knew clearly—
She is a demon.
The demon is difficult to tame and is naturally charming.
And Pei Zichen... is already twenty-one years old.
This was exactly the age when he met Jiang Zhaoxue and when Jiang Zhaoxue fell in love with him at first sight.
After realizing this, he knew clearly that he could no longer keep Jiang Zhaoxue with Pei Zichen.
No matter what happened or didn't happen in the past, not a single moment can be retained.
"Time Mirror," Shen Yuqing suddenly asked. Mu Jinyue turned around in surprise and saw Shen Yuqing standing there, asking expressionlessly, "Can you sense Pei Zichen's location?"
Mu Jinyue was slightly stunned when she heard this, then realized that Shen Yuqing was asking her. She reacted and said quickly, "His treasure must be something that can sense the Time Mirror. Every time Senior Brother escapes from Master, I can sense it."
"I see."
Shen Yuqing lowered his eyes and said softly, "Go back."
Mu Jinyue couldn't figure out what Shen Yuqing meant, so she bowed and left. When they reached the door, Shen Yuqing finally spoke: "Next time he comes to see Song Wuya, I'll take you there."

The author has something to say: I'm still sending out red envelopes for this chapter~ I'm a bit tired, so I'll write 4000 first. I'll update more tomorrow.
Also, you read that right, the Time-Seeking Mirror belongs to Mu Jinyue. Shen Yuqing has only been holding it on her behalf.
【Small Theater·1】
Shen Yuqing: "I'm going to see my wife soon, so put on ten pounds of powder on your face. She likes young and good-looking people."
Pei Zichen: "Master is indeed Master, your makeup skills are so superb, unlike me, who is too young. If I put on powder, I will be too pale."
Shen Yuqing (drops the powder puff on the table and draws his sword): "I'll kill you!!"
【Small Theater 2】
Mu Jinyue: "Master, don't be angry with Master's wife, just bow your head."
Shen Yuqing: "No, I will wait until she regrets it and comes to me."
Shen Yuqing was in a cold war for a month.
Shen Yuqing was in a cold war for a year.
Shen Yuqing was in a cold war for a hundred years.
Shen Yuqing: "Jiang Zhaoxue, do you know you are wrong?"
Pei Zichen: "Master? Oh, Xue'er is taking a shower. I'll ask her to get back to you later."
Shen Yuqing: "??? Pei Zichen? Why are you using your master's wife's sound transmission jade token?"
Pei Zichen: "Master, this is my wife's jade token. You've been divorced for a long time, and I haven't had a master's wife for a long time."
Shen Yuqing: "??? So? Why did you use your master's wife's sound transmission jade token?"
Jiang Zhaoxue: "Hey, Zichen, are you talking to your master? Shen Yuqing? I haven't seen you in a hundred years."
Shen Yuqing: "What's wrong with you? Why are you with Pei Zichen in the middle of the night?!"
Jiang Zhaoxue: "Go to sleep."
Shen Yuqing: "How dare you! You're with a male disciple in the middle of the night..."
Jiang Zhaoxue: "That's not a male disciple, that's my husband, idiot!!"
