Why?
"It has five times the spiritual energy."
"Host, this isn't a simple case of one plus one equaling two. Clearly, a single spiritual root is far stronger than an ordinary dual spiritual root." This is why so many people in this world admire a single spiritual root.
"But not necessarily."
"Unless he is the legendary Chaos Body, it is impossible."
"Not necessarily, maybe he really is," Ning Hong said hopefully. "Life is like that, you always have to think things through. What if it comes true?"
system:"--"
The next day, Xia Qianhe suddenly woke up from her sleep and immediately felt short of breath.
A hand pressed against her chest, pulling her tightly into his arms. Yesterday was her wedding night. To be honest, she had hesitated.
Should they engage in marital relations? After all, to be honest, they weren't very familiar with each other. That night of passion was only because they had both been drugged.
But it's a very normal thing for married couples to do this. In the end, she decided to let nature take its course.
Now that she's married to him, she should live a good life with him. Being coy and hesitant isn't her style.
After that, everything fell into place naturally.
The two consummated their marriage successfully and became a real couple.
Ning Zixun beamed with joy upon hearing the news from her maid.
As expected, Xia Qianhe is a good person.
Such a smart and sensible girl is actually my niece-in-law. I can't help but feel happy about it.
Since she has sincerely accepted him as her family's daughter-in-law, she should treat him even better.
Xia Qianhe lived a very comfortable life after getting married.
She had never experienced such a comfortable life since her mother died.
There's no need to pay respects, nor is there a need to constantly guard against others' schemes.
Especially on the second day after their marriage, Brother Ning somehow obtained a sword cultivation manual and gave it to her.
He even set up a spirit-gathering array near their room.
Cultivators are not immortal; they can only preserve a period of time as their cultivation level increases. However, even a Nascent Soul cultivator will one day perish.
Birth, aging, sickness, and death are things that no human being can escape, no matter what.
Therefore, cultivators desperately try to break out of this circle and become high-ranking immortals. Even though immortals eventually need to enter the cycle of reincarnation, it is clear that their lifespan is much longer.
Moreover, if she could become an immortal, no, as long as she could cultivate and become a cultivator, then no matter how high the status or how powerful the people she faced in the mortal world were, they would still have to give her some face and carefully flatter her.
Upon hearing that they had already slept together twice, Ning Hong raised an eyebrow and silently went back to her room.
"Big brother, what's wrong? Don't you want us to sleep together?"
Xia Qianhe frowned and asked.
"That's definitely not it."
Ning Xi shook her head vigorously, "Could it be because my cultivation level is low, and my brother is afraid that I will hold you back?"
This is the most likely one.
“My brother said that you have a single Heavenly Spiritual Root, so cultivation will naturally follow. In the Ning family, you don’t need to suppress yourself anymore.”
"No need to suppress it?"
"That's right. Our Ning family has had a protective array since ancient times. This array was set up by Aunt's suitors, and its purpose should be to protect Aunt."
"Protect me my ass, he's clearly just there to monitor me. He won't come to pick me up, and he won't even let me go out and have fun."
Ning Zixun snorted coldly and placed a few pills in Xia Qianhe's palm.
These pills are all plump and full; a deep sniff reveals their fragrant aroma.
It should be top-grade.
"aunt--"
Xia Qianhe called out gratefully. She didn't hesitate to push the medicine away again.
For Aunt Ning Zixun of the Ning family, she would prefer you to accept these spiritual herbs decisively rather than to hesitate and refuse them.
"I don't have any cultivation techniques, but I do have top-grade pills. I can afford to take a few pills every now and then."
"As for our family's books, they are all in the north room. You can go and find them yourself."
"I understand." Xia Qian nodded without any hesitation.
Three days passed quickly.
The day of the third-day return visit to the bride's parents' home has arrived.
The Ning family prepared a whole carload of things, all for Xia Qianhe's facial treatment.
This indicates that their family members are satisfied with Xia Qianhe.
The more lavish the return gift, the more their married daughters enjoy life.
Ruhe received Xia Qianhe, but Xia Shengfeng did not appear. Instead, he took his son to cultivate.
In the entire hall, only Aunt Ruhe was greeting guests, and Xia Qianxue remained silent, her face drooping.
"Are you saying we're not welcome back?"
"How could that be? Your father misses you terribly and looks forward to your return every day," Ruhe said with a smile, but the smile didn't reach her eyes; it was a forced smile, and her hypocritical manner made Xia Qianhe somewhat bored.
"If you don't want me to come back, just say so. There's no need for this."
Xia Qianhe turned to leave, intending to take all the homecoming gifts with her.
Since they don't care if she comes back, then those things are taken away too.
"I've taken my homecoming gift back with me."
"Just pretend I never returned to my parents' home."
Xia Qianhe stared straight at Ruhe. There was no reason for her to resist her return so much, and for her to take her things away.
"Oh dear, Qianhe, how can you be so stingy? The gifts for the homecoming have already arrived at your house, are you still thinking of taking them back to the Ning family?"
"Everyone says it's a homecoming gift, but as you can see, what kind of homecoming is this? My mother died a long time ago, and my father doesn't care about me at all. He won't even bother to make a show of it. Only you, my concubine, are here to entertain me. Is this an insult to my husband and me?"
"So you noticed? If you hadn't had a single spiritual root, why would Father have paid any attention to you?" Xia Qianxue stepped forward. "Mother, it's come to this point, why are you giving in to her? My brother has been chosen by the sect, and he'll soon become a cultivator. Then, our status will naturally rise, and you won't have to be overshadowed by her anymore."
The distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children was Xia Qianxue's lifelong regret.
No problem, as long as her younger brother becomes more capable, he can become her backer. At that time, her father will naturally elevate her mother's status, and she can then become the legitimate daughter.
Ruhe refused to return the items, and Xia Qianhe didn't force her. After failing to see her father again, he directly took Ning Xize home. Of course, they walked back, so everyone knew that they had brought gifts for the bride's family. However, they were sent back before they could even sit for a quarter of an hour.
"You sent so much stuff back, and they just let you go so quickly without even offering you a meal?" How can such a wealthy and powerful family be so stingy?
