The next morning.

Qin Gengyun left the house and prepared to report to Lingdanfang.

However, I saw many neighbors standing outside, talking to each other, and their expressions were somewhat serious.

The Taoist companions next door, Chen Fang and Zhang Chengdao, were also there. Qin Gengyun walked up to them and asked:

"Friend Zhang, Friend Chen, what's going on?"

"Fellow Daoist Qin, something happened again in Qingluo Lane last night."

Chen Fang said to Qin Gengyun with a worried look on her face.

Qin Gengyun's expression changed slightly, and he quickly asked, "Another ghost cultivator robbery?"

A neighbor nearby said, "Yes, last night outside Qingluo Lane, a talisman master was killed, and all the talismans and spiritual stones on his body were looted."

The so-called ghost cultivators refer to those evil cultivators who rob or even kill other cultivators.

To fall into the ghost path is to cultivate as a ghost.

Recently, there have been frequent incidents of ghost cultivators robbing people in Yunling Town.

Most of those attacked and robbed by ghost cultivators were alchemists and talisman masters, because they usually carried valuable medicinal herbs and talismans.

This kind of incident has happened three or four times. One of the alchemists was killed on the spot because of his fierce resistance.

It is said that the outer sect of Zhenyang Sect will send someone to investigate soon.

I didn't expect this ghost cultivator to be so rampant and kill another person.

"Everyone, don't panic. Everyone knows that there aren't many wealthy people living in Narrow Rain Alley. I guess that ghost cultivator wouldn't even think highly of this place."

"It's better to be careful. I have to go home early every night these days."

After listening to people's discussion for a while, Qin Gengyun said goodbye to Chen Fang and Zhang Chengdao and left the narrow rain alley.

The owner of Lingdanfang hasn't returned today, so nothing happened in the workshop all day.

Yang Fengshan left before noon. As soon as he left, Qin Gengyun also left early and arrived at the night market before dark.

Mo Xiaolan was setting up a stall. She was still wearing the uniform of a postmaster, a blue suit that made her long legs look even tighter and more symmetrical.

Her forehead was covered in sweat, probably because she had just delivered today's letters and items and hurried to the night market.

Qin Gengyun stepped forward to help. Mo Xiaolan looked up and said in surprise:

"Fellow Daoist Qin, why are you here? Didn't we agree to check the furnace tomorrow night?"

Qin Gengyun said, "Friend Mo Dao, I heard that there was another ghost cultivator robbing Qingluo Lane last night, so I came to remind you to go back early in the next few days."

Mo Xiaolan's phoenix eyes curved up and she smiled brightly:

"Fellow Daoist Qin is really thoughtful. Don't worry, I will close the stall early tonight."

"Okay, I'll be leaving first."

Qin Gengyun said goodbye to Mo Xiaolan. It was already dark. He remained alert along the way, paying attention to his surroundings from time to time. He held a "magic talisman" in his hand. If anything went wrong, he would stick it on his leg and run away.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly along the way and Qin Gengyun soon stepped into the narrow rain alley and breathed a sigh of relief.

Before reaching the door of the house, Qin Gengyun suddenly stopped and looked towards his own window from a distance.

Sure enough, I saw a petite figure standing in front of the window. She seemed to sense something, and the next moment, the figure disappeared.

Qin Gengyun smiled, walked to the house he rented, opened the door and went in.

The house was filled with fragrance, and on the table was a pot of delicious scallion and minced meat porridge.

There was also a porcelain bowl next to it. Qiu Zhihe was sitting at the table. When she saw him coming back, she looked indifferent:

"Let's eat."

Today Qiu Zhihe wore a Bixia Luoyi with a black gauze draped over it. The collar fell above her chest, and the black gauze was exposed, revealing a small section of snow-white.

Although Qiu Zhihe is petite, she has a cool temperament. She stands out in the right places and looks charming no matter what she wears.

But her clothes were almost all black, which looked a bit strange.

Qin Gengyun walked over and sat down, then said with a smile, "Didn't Fellow Daoist Qiu finish his porridge today?"

Qiu Zhihe looked at him indifferently. Qin Gengyun said no more and quietly drank his porridge.

"Fellow Daoist Qiu."

After finishing a bowl of porridge, Qin Gengyun suddenly spoke:

"I want to buy a second-hand bronze furnace. My friend Mo, who lives across the street, knows a vendor who resells old items. I went to the night market to ask her for help these past few nights, so we went back to Narrow Rain Alley together yesterday."

Qiu Zhihe sat there indifferently, not saying a word.

Qin Gengyun smiled and said:

"By the way, there have been ghost cultivators killing people and robbing people at night recently. Fellow Daoist Qiu, you should not go out at night."

"Ghost cultivation robbery?"

Qiu Zhihe's eyes flashed, and he finally responded and asked:

"Where?"

Qin Gengyun said: "I heard that a talisman master was killed in Qingluo Lane last night. If this ghost cultivator continues to commit crimes, the outer sect of Zhenyang Sect may send someone over."

"Will the Zhenyang Sect send someone?" Qiu Zhihe frowned slightly, her pretty round face covered with frost, and asked again:

"What if that ghost cultivator never appears again?"

Qin Gengyun said: "Then the Zhenyang Sect should not send anyone. As long as nothing serious happens in a small place like Yunling Town, such a big sect will not care."

Qiu Zhihe nodded slightly, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

"Fellow Daoist Qiu, what's wrong?"

Qin Gengyun asked.

"nothing."

Qiu Zhihe stopped talking.

Qin Gengyun looked at her, got up and went to the kitchen to get a set of bowls and chopsticks, filled a bowl of porridge and placed it in front of her.

"You should drink one bowl too."

Qiu Zhihe looked down at the steaming meat porridge in the bowl, then looked at Qin Gengyun:

"You really want me to drink it?"

Qin Gengyun was a little puzzled: "Of course, husband and wife should eat together, you haven't eaten yet, have you?"

After all, he came back early today. Doesn’t Qiu Zhihe want to wait for him to have dinner together?

"good."

But Qiu Zhihe had already agreed and lowered her head to drink the porridge silently.

Qin Gengyun was stunned. He didn't expect her to be so docile today. He felt an inexplicable sense of accomplishment in his heart.

It turns out that conquering a wife with a cold personality is also quite fun.

After they finished their porridge, Qiu Zhihe put the pots and bowls into the kitchen. Qin Gengyun followed in and said with a smile:

"Fellow Daoist Qiu, you have worked hard to cook the porridge. Let me wash the dishes."

Qiu Zhihe walked straight out of the kitchen. Qin Gengyun scratched his cheek. It seemed that she had no intention of washing the dishes...

Qin Gengyun quickly washed the dishes and came out. Suddenly, he felt a surge of heat in his lower abdomen. He was stunned and looked at Qiu Zhihe.

But I saw that she had taken off her coat and was sitting on the bed with the quilt around her.

"Fellow Daoist Qiu, did you add medicinal herbs to this porridge?"

Two red clouds floated on Qiu Zhihe's round and pretty face, and her voice was still cold:

"It's time to rest."

Qin Gengyun remembered that day when Qiu Zhihe said that if she drank the Ten-Ingredient Tonic Porridge, the ice and fire in her body would be even worse, and he was afraid that she wouldn't be able to hold on for even thirty breaths. He suddenly felt something was wrong.

"Fellow Daoist Qiu, what are you doing...ah?!"

The next moment, the candle in the house went out.

Less than thirty breaths later.

[Marriage relationship: 8/100. Marriage relationship is too low, no bonus]

[Obtain training points: 2]

Qin Gengyun looked at the illusory words floating in the air, feeling mixed emotions of sadness and joy.

The good news is that the relationship between me and Qiu Zhihe has improved by 3 points. It is obvious that the intimate conversation we had last night has taken effect.

Sadly, just as Qiu Zhihe said, after she drank the tonic porridge, her burning sensation became even worse, and she couldn't even hold on for thirty breaths!

This is too bullying!

Qin Gengyun clenched his fists and said, "Next time I will regroup and give you a good beating!"

Just as he was feeling sad and angry, Qiu Zhihe suddenly turned over in the darkness and looked straight at him with a pair of cold eyes.

…

Less than thirty breaths later.

[Marriage relationship: 8/100. The relationship is too low, no bonus]

[Obtain training points: 2]

"Fellow Daoist Qiu, let me ask you, could you please not add any more ingredients to the porridge tomorrow?"

"……Can."

"ah!"

…

Midnight.

The exhausted Qin Gengyun had fallen into a deep sleep.

In the darkness, a petite figure got out of bed and came to the window.

She looked quietly at the house on the opposite left.

It was dark and windy outside the window, and the figure inside the house was motionless.

An hour later, it was Chou time and the night was already deep.

The door of the house on the opposite left side opened gently, and three figures in black robes sneaked out of the house and walked towards the narrow rain alley.

Inside the house.

As the red light flickered, the small projection on the wall gradually grew taller.

A moment later, a tall and plump figure flashed out from Qin Gengyun's house.
