Chapter 166 Your husband is a scumbag, isn't he?
Han Wei returned to Xu Lingyue's place and saw Xu Lingyue drinking tea at a stone table in front of the cave. Han Wei descended from the sky, and as soon as Xu Lingyue saw her, she asked with a smile, "Weiwei, where have you been? I've been looking for you since early this morning, and I couldn't find you anywhere in the entire mountain area."
Han Wei sat down next to her and said, "My deadbeat husband came over last night, and I went out and got into a fight with him."
"What? Your husband is here? You even went out to fight with him? Where is he?" Xu Lingyue's eyes widened in shock.
"That bastard is gone," Han Wei said as she poured herself some tea.
"He... he came all this way just to find you and fight you?" Xu Lingyue couldn't understand.
“Yeah, I think he’s so boring too. He came all the way to find me just to fight me,” Han Wei said.
"What exactly caused you two to quarrel? They say that couples fight in bed but make up before they get out of bed. Is there anything you two can't sit down and talk about?" Xu Lingyue asked, picking up a cup of tea.
"I stabbed him," Han Wei said casually.
"puff--"
Xu Lingyue spat out the tea she was drinking, but luckily Han Wei dodged quickly.
Xu Lingyue looked at Han Wei in disbelief: "You...you stabbed him?"
"This...this isn't what you think. Back then, we weren't married yet. He...he tried to take advantage of me. What's wrong with me stabbing him? Later, he kept bringing it up." Han Wei said, half-truthfully. She stabbed him once, and he'd stabbed her so many times already, and he still wasn't satisfied. What did he want from her?
She'd tried everything—coaxing, groveling—but he still treated her with a cold shoulder.
"Oh, I see. You two are a bickering couple. Then it's his fault. You're married now, how can he keep bringing up the past?" Xu Lingyue said.
“Yes, we’re husband and wife now, why do we keep bringing up the past?” Han Wei nodded in agreement as she spoke, echoing Xu Lingyue’s words.
"How can a grown man be so petty? Weiwei, what made you fall for him?" Xu Lingyue asked her.
"He...he's really good-looking," Han Wei said with a smile.
Xu Lingyue: "..."
You're still obsessed with looks!
"Anything else?" Xu Lingyue asked again.
"Strong skills and exceptional intelligence."
"Anything else?"
"Live well."
"...?" Xu Lingyue blinked, still a virgin, she didn't understand Han Wei's meaning. But no matter what, she had lived for tens of thousands of years and cultivated to the Mahayana stage, so even if she was naive, she understood what she was supposed to understand. She didn't react for a moment, but after she did, her cheeks turned red.
"You're even bringing up this kind of thing? You're really shameless."
Han Wei laughed and said, "Why can't I say it? What's there to be shy about? How old am I? I'm not a teenage girl anymore. Do I need to avoid talking about things like love between men and women?"
Hearing Han Wei's words, Xu Lingyue felt that what she said made sense. Looking at Han Wei, Xu Lingyue asked curiously, "How long have you been married to your husband?"
“More than a hundred years,” Han Wei said.
"That hasn't been long, when did you two meet?" Xu Lingyue asked.
"In my past life," Han Wei said.
"Huh?" Xu Lingyue looked at her in confusion.
“What I mean is, when I met him, the moment I saw him, it felt like I had known him in a past life,” Han Wei said.
Xu Lingyue laughed and said, "Did you fall in love with him at first sight?"
Han Wei nodded.
"Wait a minute, didn't you stab him? You fell in love with him at first sight, and you still stabbed him?" Xu Lingyue asked in confusion.
Han Wei: "...Well, that's because the situation was complicated at the time. I liked him, but I wasn't ready. He wanted to cultivate with me. I was still young then, and I was scared. So, I stabbed him. After that, I regretted it."
"I regret it so much, it breaks my heart. I still regret it to this day."
Xu Lingyue nodded: "I see." She lowered her head and thought for a moment, then crossed her arms over her chest. "Why does it sound like your husband is a lecherous scoundrel?"
Han Wei: "...Huh?"
“If you don’t want to, he’ll force you. What is he if not a lustful devil? Weiwei, you can’t just look at his face. He has a wicked heart. You shouldn’t continue to be with someone like that,” Xu Lingyue said.
"No, no, no, it's not what you think. He's not lecherous, he... he just..."
"What do you mean, 'just'? You were so scared that you stabbed him. He must have used force to try and force you to submit. He's not a gentleman, he's a beast. You're husband and wife now, and he's still fighting with you. This... this is a scumbag! You should break up with him completely," Xu Lingyue said.
Han Wei felt a headache coming on: "It's not what you think. I was the one who agreed to cultivate with him first, but... well, anyway, our situation is complicated, but it's not what you imagine."
Xu Lingyue looked at Han Wei with disbelief, her eyes seeming to look at a pitiful, infatuated woman who had fallen in love with a scumbag and was still stubbornly clinging to her delusions.
Han Wei: "..."
————
Inside the palace, a handsome man in a purple robe sat at a table, maintaining the same posture. He was deep in thought, head bowed, and had been in this position for a long time.
A beautiful woman dressed in a light green dress brought over some snacks. She placed the snacks aside and asked, "Cousin, what are you thinking about?"
Upon hearing this, Huo Qing looked up and saw Liu Ruyan's beautiful face. A tender feeling welled up in his eyes, and he took one of Liu Ruyan's delicate hands in his. "It's nothing, just some things related to cultivation."
"Cousin, come and try some of my pastries. This peach blossom pastry is a new recipe I learned to make." Liu Ruyan picked up a peach blossom pastry and held it to Huo Qing's lips.
Huo Qing took a bite from her hand and praised, "Delicious! Your cooking skills are getting better and better."
Upon hearing his words, Liu Ruyan revealed a charming smile on her small face.
Huo Qing ate a piece of peach blossom pastry, then lowered his eyes again. He was still thinking about the things Han Wei had given Xu Lingyue. He really couldn't understand why Han Wei was so good to Xu Lingyue. She even gave her a magical treasure to her junior sister. What was she after?
Or is it that in her eyes, none of these things matter?
"Ruyan, what kind of person do you think would confide in a friend they've only known for a short time, and even give them a magical treasure?" Huo Qing asked.
"A celestial treasure?" Liu Ruyan looked at Huo Qing in surprise. "How could that be? Who would give away a celestial treasure, especially to a friend they've only just met? That's a celestial treasure! A single celestial treasure is enough to shake the entire Fengqing Realm. If a celestial treasure were to appear in this Fengqing Realm, wouldn't those cultivators in the Tribulation Transcending stage fight each other to the death!"
Seeing Huo Qing deep in thought again, Liu Ruyan knew he must have something on his mind, so she asked, "Cousin, you have something on your mind. Can you tell me about it? Even if I can't help you, I can at least help you sort out your thoughts."
Huo Qing looked at her, hesitated for a few moments, and finally said, "That Han Wei actually gave Junior Sister Lingyue a magical treasure."
"What?" Liu Ruyan screamed in shock.
