Qin Gengyun returned to the narrow rain alley, pushed the door open and went home. He looked inside cautiously and felt inexplicably a little uneasy.

In his previous life, his friend who went to a nightclub to play with a prostitute was extremely nervous and guilty when he returned home and faced his wife the next day.

At that time, Qin Gengyun was not married and could not understand the feelings he described, but now he finally understood.

"Fellow Daoist Qiu, I'm back."

Qin Gengyun called softly into the house, but there was no response.

He walked into the kitchen carrying his clothes bag. There was no one inside and the stove was tidy.

In the past, when he returned home at this time, Qiu Zhihe had already put steaming hot meat porridge or soup on the table.

But today, not only was there no sign of fire in the kitchen, but Qiu Zhihe was also missing.

Qin Gengyun suddenly felt a little flustered. If he were to go back to his previous lonely life, he would probably find it difficult to adapt.

He hurried out of the kitchen and saw several clothes that Qiu Zhihe often wore folded and placed at the head of the bed. Qin Gengyun breathed a sigh of relief and was about to go out to look for someone when the door suddenly opened.

A petite figure walked in, wearing a black robe and a frosty mask. When she saw him, her eyes became even colder.

"Fellow Daoist Qiu, where have you been?"

Qin Gengyun asked hurriedly, but Qiu Zhihe did not answer. She walked straight to the bed and sat down, then casually put down a bundle of medicinal herbs.

Qin Gengyun took a look and found that they were all common medicinal materials needed to refine Yuqing Pill, Blood Coagulation Pill and Heart Protecting Pill.

Qiu Zhihe can cultivate the spiritual herb herself, and there is no need to consume spiritual power for these common medicinal herbs. One spiritual stone can buy a lot of them.

It turned out that Qiu Zhihe had gone out to buy medicinal herbs for him.

"Fellow Daoist Qiu, thank you."

Qin Gengyun felt even more guilty, but Qiu Zhihe still ignored him, sat cross-legged on the bed, and simply closed her eyes to practice.

"Um, Fellow Daoist Qiu, you haven't eaten yet, right? I'll go make dinner."

Qin Gengyun said this, walked into the kitchen and started cooking.

Soon, a sumptuous meal was placed on the table: leek fried eggs, tomato scrambled eggs and egg fried rice.

Qin Gengyun used to struggle for survival and did not have much time to study how to cook. The dishes he could cook were very limited and they were all just "XX scrambled eggs".

"Fellow Daoist Qiu, it's time to eat."

Qin Gengyun said to Qiu Zhihe with a smile.

Qiu Zhihe glanced at him, finally stood up and walked to the table and sat down. She looked at the "whole egg meal" on the table and snorted in disdain.

But in the end, he picked up the chopsticks and started eating.

Qin Gengyun didn't dare to say much. The two of them finished their meal in silence. Qin Gengyun washed the dishes and walked out of the kitchen. Then he took the bag and handed it to Qiu Zhihe:

"Fellow Daoist Qiu, I passed by Rouge Pavilion on my way back and bought it for you."

Qiu Zhihe looked up at him, finally took it, opened it, and looked at it. Her eyes moved slightly, but she said:

“I don’t like red clothes.”

Qin Gengyun scratched his cheek: "It's okay. If you don't like wearing it outside, you can wear it at home when you feel better. Fellow Daoist Qiu, you look really good in red."

Qiu Zhihe snorted and said coldly: "Why should I wear it for you to see?"

"Well……"

Qin Gengyun sat next to Qiu Zhihe and said in a deep voice:

"Fellow Daoist Qiu, I have something I want to confess to you."

Qiu Zhihe looked up at him.

Qin Gengyun took a deep breath and finally said:

"I...went to Yihonglou yesterday."

…

"That's it. I sat there for an hour and left without doing anything! Fellow Daoist Qiu, please believe me! I just want to get rid of the demons in my heart. I will never go there again!"

Qin Gengyun recounted what happened yesterday when he went to Yihonglou, and then swore solemnly.

After hearing what he said, Qiu Zhihe's cold face turned into surprise:

"You actually went to Yihonglou for something like this?"

Qin Gengyun apologized repeatedly: "I'm sorry, I won't dare to do it again!"

Qiu Zhihe looked at him coldly.

A moment later…

Phew!

The round little face couldn't hold it back anymore and burst out laughing.

Qin Gengyun was stunned. This smile was like the melting of an iceberg, the thawing of the ice by the spring breeze, it was as brilliant as the moonlight, as bright as the sun, and not even one tenth of what the world could convey.

"Fellow Daoist Qiu, you can actually laugh?"

The smile on Qiu Zhihe's face suddenly stopped. She raised her hands to cover her face, but put them down after a moment. The coldness returned to her little round face.

But I still find it funny.

Because she practiced Xuanbing Lihuo Gong, her physique became extremely special. It was normal for Qin Gengyun to not persist for long. Unexpectedly, he actually developed a mental disorder because of this.

It's really ridiculous.

At the same time, Qiu Zhihe felt inexplicably relieved.

He went to Yihonglou to get rid of his inner demons, not to seek pleasure from prostitutes, nor was it an unforgivable sin.

Moreover, he felt so guilty, yet he bought me clothes and confessed to me.

Why don’t we just forget it?

As she thought about it, Qiu Zhihe's face gradually softened.

Qin Gengyun, who was standing by, was a little nervous at first, but seeing her cute smile just now and her gentle expression at this moment, he became bolder and stretched out his claws to grab her white and tender little hand:

"Fellow Daoist Qiu, are you not angry anymore? Ouch!"

Then, covering her legs with both hands, Qiu Zhihe retracted her feet and said calmly:

"Three hours, five Jade Purity Pills. If you can't do it, you are not allowed to go to bed tonight."

Qin Gengyun stood up immediately: "I will obey the order!"

After saying that, he walked into the kitchen with full energy.

"Fellow Daoist Qin."

Qiu Zhihe called him, Qin Gengyun turned around, Qiu Zhihe was silent for a moment, and said seriously:

"I will not change my mind. Cultivation is to go against the will of heaven. If you are always too cautious, you will lose the power to change your fate and go against the original intention of cultivation."

This was the discussion the two had the night before about spiritual practice and attitude towards life.

It turns out that Qiu Zhihe has been thinking about it for the past two days.

Qin Gengyun also responded seriously: "Fellow Daoist Qiu, I also stick to my opinion. I practice cultivation not to fight with others, but just to live a better life. If I can achieve immortality, it would be the best. If I can't achieve immortality, I must live my life without regrets."

Qiu Zhihe asked: "What does it mean to have no regrets?"

Qin Gengyun replied: "If I can live a long life, lead a carefree life, have a harmonious relationship with my spouse, and have many children and grandchildren, then I will have no regrets."

He had failed to do these things in his previous life. If he could make up for it in this life, then his life would not have been in vain.

"A house full of children and grandchildren?"

Qiu Zhihe looked at him strangely and said coldly:

"What do you mean?"

Qin Gengyun said quickly: "Fellow Daoist Qiu, please don't misunderstand me. There is no need to rush this matter. Just let it take its course."

Qiu Zhihe's eyes were cold.

"Fellow Daoist Qiu, I'm going to make the elixir!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Qin Gengyun quickly slipped into the kitchen.

After confessing the matter and discussing it with Qiu Zhihe, Qin Gengyun felt enlightened and his spiritual awareness and power reached their peak.

This time the alchemy went extremely smoothly.

After three hours, three extremely high-quality Yuqing Pills were successfully refined.

Qin Gengyun walked out of the kitchen excitedly: "Fellow Daoist Qiu, I did it!"

It was already midnight, but Qiu Zhihe hadn't gone to sleep yet. She sat on the edge of the bed and hummed lightly.

"Take a rest."

"good!"

Qin Gengyun washed up and jumped onto the bed.

"what you do?"

Qiu Zhihe's quilt was kicked by him. She glared at him in dissatisfaction and raised her hand to extinguish the candle. Qin Gengyun stopped her:

"Fellow Daoist Qiu, wait a minute."

"how?"

Qin Gengyun looked at her face and said sincerely:

"You look really good tonight. I want to look at you a little longer."

"you……"

Qiu Zhihe was startled. In the candlelight, her cheeks seemed to blush slightly, but she quickly turned over and Qin Gengyun couldn't see it clearly.

“Fellow Daoist Qiu, I feel refreshed tonight, and my efficiency in refining pills is very high. I didn’t consume much energy, so…”

Before Qin Gengyun could finish his words, the candle suddenly went out without wind, and he felt his body sink.

“Fellow Daoist Qiu… ah?!”

After fifty breaths.
