"Madam, why do you call your master mother?"

Nalan Yan's residual soul woke up for a moment and then fell into deep sleep again. Qiu Zhihe burst into tears. She was no longer as indifferent and calm as before. She looked as sad and weak as an ordinary woman.

Qin Gengyun felt extremely distressed, so he naturally did not ask his wife any more questions. He just hugged her gently and comforted her.

It took Qiu Zhihe a long while to stop crying. She lay softly in Qin Gengyun's arms. When she heard his words, her eyes were blurred and her voice was dreamy:

"I left the village when I was young and went to Qinglian Mountain. I promised my parents that I would go back to be with them after I had achieved some success in my cultivation."

"But when I returned to the village a few years later, I found out that my parents had died of illness."

"I was devastated, and my master told me that from now on she would be my mother."

"Later, when there were outsiders around, I called her Master, and when it was just the two of us, I called her Mother."

Qin Gengyun gently wiped the tears from Qiu Zhihe's face: "You and your master have a really good relationship. Fortunately, her soul is still there. Maybe she will be resurrected one day."

Qiu Zhihe said sadly: "It's not that easy. First, I have to complete the remaining soul, then find a suitable body, and use secret methods to integrate the soul into the body, then I can become a human again."

It was the first time that Qin Gengyun heard of such a strange method of resurrecting the dead, and he couldn't help but ask:

"How can I replenish my soul?"

Qiu Zhihe sighed: "This step alone is as difficult as ascending to heaven. Only the ancient treasure 'Soul-Replenishing Seal' can do this. This treasure is in... Feixian Pavilion."

"Feixian Pavilion?"

Qin Gengyun was stunned: "Doesn't that mean we have to reach the Tribulation Realm before we can go there?"

Feixian Pavilion is on Feixian Peak, and only those powerful people who are about to ascend to heaven can enter Feixian Peak. They are too far away from this realm and don’t know whether they can reach it in this lifetime.

"No, ordinary cultivators also have the opportunity to enter Feixian Pavilion."

Qin Gengyun remembered: "Madam, are you talking about the Feixian Ceremony?"

The Feixian Ceremony is a grand gathering for all young cultivators in the entire cultivation world, and only cultivators under the age of 40 are allowed to participate.

If you can enter the top three in the Feixian Ceremony, you will have the opportunity to enter the Feixian Pavilion and be eligible to pick up a treasure.

Qiu Zhihe nodded, and Qin Gengyun was excited: "So, if we can rank among the three realms in the Feixian Ceremony, we can get the Soul-Replenishing Seal?"

Qiu Zhihe frowned slightly and said, "My husband, there are countless talented people at the Feixian Ceremony. If you want to be in the top three, you must not hold back. Otherwise, your identity will be known to the Zhenyang Sect."

Qin Gengyun laughed: "Isn't it still half a year before the Feixian Ceremony? We still have time!"

Qiu Zhihe was silent for a moment, feeling worried instead of happy.

If she goes all out, she will surely be the first place, but the fact that she is Xia Qinglian cannot be concealed. By then, not to mention entering Feixian Pavilion, I'm afraid the whole world will besiege her.

Only my husband can take the lead in this matter.

Qiu Zhihe felt guilty, she owed her husband too much.

Qin Gengyun knew what she was thinking, so he leaned over and kissed her soft lips.

Qiu Zhihe's dim eyes suddenly widened, and their gorgeous colors reappeared. She raised her arms and wrapped them around Qin Gengyun's neck.

The two of them understood each other's minds. Qin Gengyun wanted to comfort her heartache at the moment. Qiu Zhihe also knew what he was thinking, so she responded gently and warmly.

Qin Gengyun put his hand on her belt, and Qiu Zhihe gently pushed him away:

"Husband...wait a moment."

Qiu Zhihe struggled to sit up, raised her hand and drew an isolation magic circle, then she felt relieved and took the initiative to throw herself into Qin Gengyun's arms, her voice soft and sweet:

"Husband, it's done..."

But Qin Gengyun's body became stiff, and a bitter smile appeared on his face:

"My wife..."

Qiu Zhihe suddenly felt a chill emanating from Qin Gengyun's body. Her eyes lit up with a pale light. She said in astonishment:

"Master?"

Qin Gengyun looked down at her, his expression seemed to have become that of another person, and that look made Qiu Zhihe extremely familiar.

At the critical moment when the two were about to practice, Nalan Yan's residual soul woke up again.

As if sensing that Qin Gengyun was going to do "bad things" to his disciple, Nalan Yan's residual soul was extremely angry at this moment, and tried desperately to make trouble in Qin Gengyun's body.

To the extent that Qin Gengyun's body was briefly under her control.

Qiu Zhihe lost all her charm immediately and said quickly, "Master, he is my husband! He, he just wanted to help me heal, not to hurt me!"

After hearing her words, the cold and gloomy aura in Qin Gengyun's body began to slowly disappear, and the pale light in his eyes also faded a little.

The next moment, Qin Gengyun regained control of his body and let out a long breath:

"Madam, your master is too fierce, isn't he?"

Qiu Zhihe hurried forward and grabbed his arm, and asked with concern: "Husband, are you okay?"

Qin Gengyun shook his head: "The remaining power of your master's soul is not much, and she has no ill will towards me, but she seems to dislike me getting close to you."

Qiu Zhihe blushed and glared at him coquettishly: "Master is our elder, so we shouldn't be so presumptuous in front of her!"

Qin Gengyun said bitterly: "Then if we want to... that in the future, we can only wait until your master goes to sleep?"

Qiu Zhihe thought about it, blushed and nodded silently.

"Then we must win the Feixian Ceremony and enter the Feixian Pavilion to get the Soul-Replenishing Seal!"

Qin Gengyun wished that the Fairy Flying Ceremony would begin tomorrow.

Qiu Zhihe patted him lightly and said, "Husband, you are so dishonest. All you do all day is... that kind of thing."

Qin Gengyun grabbed her hand and said, "Madam, you were more enthusiastic than I was just now."

"oops!"

The distance between the two of them unknowingly closed again, and then a cold and gloomy aura surged from Qin Gengyun's body again.

"Uh...Mother-in-law, my wife and I were just joking, please don't be angry."

"Master, he won't bully me, don't worry."

After a while of coaxing, the remaining soul of Nalan Yan finally calmed down.

Qin Gengyun was still in shock and asked cautiously, "Madam, is your master asleep now?"

Qiu Zhihe looked innocent: "My master is inside you, and you ask me?"

Qin Gengyun made a bitter face: "I can't feel it either."

Seeing his miserable look, Qiu Zhihe couldn't help but burst out laughing: "You deserve it. Who told you to do that to me just now? You should let my master punish you!"

Qin Gengyun lowered his head helplessly towards his chest and said, "Mother-in-law, can I just hold Zhihe and sleep without doing anything to her?"

This time, there was no cold and gloomy air emanating from Qin Gengyun. He carefully reached out and hugged Qiu Zhihe.

Sure enough, there was no response.

"My wife."

"Um……"

Qiu Zhihe agreed softly, and lay on the bed with Qin Gengyun, snuggling into his arms out of habit.

In an instant, a cold and gloomy air appeared, Qiu Zhihe quickly withdrew from Qin Gengyun's arms, and the cold and gloomy air disappeared.

Qin Gengyun was stunned as he looked at his beautiful wife who shared the bed with him but kept her distance from him:

"So this is how we're going to sleep tonight?"
