Hearing Qin Gengyun's words, Qiu Zhihe's round face became even more rosy. She suddenly pulled her hand back from his grasp and said coldly:

"Don't even think about it!"

Qin Gengyun was stunned for a moment, then he understood. Qiu Zhihe thought he wanted to light a candle and work with her?

He quickly explained: "Fellow Daoist Qiu, that's not what I meant. I just want to know more about your past and talk to you more."

Qiu Zhihe finally understood what he meant. Her pretty face turned even redder. She turned over and said in a cold voice with a hint of shame and anger:

"I don't want to say it."

Qin Gengyun moved closer to her and said softly:

"Fellow Daoist Qiu, you can easily take out a fine bronze furnace, cultivate so many high-quality spiritual herbs, and even have a storage bag, while I am just a low-level casual cultivator, yet you choose to marry me with such conditions."

"I am grateful, but also nervous, so I want to know more about you."

"I want to know...what kind of person my wife is."

Qiu Zhihe was silent for a moment, and finally turned over and faced Qin Gengyun. The two were very close to each other, and their breaths were touching. Qiu Zhihe felt a little uncomfortable. She stretched out her white arm from under the quilt and pushed Qin Gengyun away.

He smoothed his bangs and asked:

"What do you want to know?"

Qin Gengyun thought for a moment and said, "You said you came from a small sect on the edge of the Northern Wilderness. Can you tell me about your sect?"

Qiu Zhihe rested her face on the back of her hand, her eyes lowered, and after a long moment, she spoke quietly:

"My sect is on a big mountain. There is a small lake on the top of the mountain. Every summer, many green lotuses grow in the lake. We always like to go down to the lake to pick them."

"I was always caught by the master, but he would not punish others but me. I was ten years old at that time, and I would lie in bed for half a month to recuperate every time."

Qin Gengyun felt a little distressed when he heard this: "How could your master be so cruel to you?"

Qiu Zhihe's almond-shaped eyes were unfocused, as if she was lost in memories.

"I thought so at first, too. I had a lot of resentment towards Master. Every time I made a mistake and was punished, Senior Sister would always bring the best elixir in the sect to heal me."

"One time, my senior sister told me that these pills were made for me by Master himself. Every time after punishing me, Master would lock himself up and cry quietly."

"My senior sister said that when fellow disciples made mistakes, Master always punished only me. That's because..."

Qiu Zhihe's slender fingers tightly grasped the bed sheet:

"Master wants to pass the position of the sect leader to me, so he encourages me a lot, hoping that I can mature quickly and take on great responsibilities."

Qin Gengyun understood and said softly, "The deeper the love, the more severe the blame. Your master has high hopes for you. She must have regarded you as her daughter."

A hint of tenderness appeared on Qiu Zhihe's round little face:

"Master has no Taoist partner and no children. She really treats me and my senior sister as her daughters. My senior sister entered the sect earlier than me and has a higher level of cultivation than me, but she takes good care of me, just like my sister."

"The other disciples also treated me very well. We went up the mountain to see the crabapple blossoms in spring, the blue lotus in summer, and went down the mountain to train in autumn..."

"What about winter?" Qin Gengyun asked.

Veins bulged on the back of Qiu Zhihe's hand, and her voice trembled a little:

"Winter...that winter, Senior Sister died."

Qin Gengyun was silent for a moment, not knowing what to say. Suddenly, he felt that the room seemed to have become a little colder, and then he heard Qiu Zhihe continue:

"That winter, I was about to break through, and my senior sister went down the mountain to find the spiritual fluid I needed for the breakthrough. On the way, we were ambushed by a hostile sect..."

"It was snowing heavily that day. The disciples who went to look for the body of our senior sister later said that she chose to explode. Nothing was left behind, except for a bottle of spiritual fluid found under the snow."

"That's the spiritual liquid I need for my breakthrough. Senior Sister must have hidden it in the snow when we were ambushed..."

Qiu Zhihe suddenly turned over, her shoulders trembling slightly. Qin Gengyun stretched out his hand to hug her shoulders, but when his hand was halfway out, Qiu Zhihe's voice continued to ring:

"Actually, Senior Sister doesn't know that I have never wanted to be the Sect Master. Senior Sister is more suitable than me, but she always gives everything to me. I, I am sorry for Senior Sister..."

Qiu Zhihe's voice stopped abruptly because Qin Gengyun behind her suddenly hugged her.

Qiu Zhihe's body stiffened, and the temperature in the room, which had been dropping, suddenly rose and became warm again.

After a while, Qin Gengyun, holding his wife's shoulders, comforted her softly:

"For your master and your senior sister, you must live well and live a good life."

Qiu Zhihe didn't say anything. Warmth rose in her heart for a moment, but soon returned to coldness.

The meaning of my survival is not to live a good life, but...

Kill all three clans, blood debt must be paid with blood!

Qin Gengyun suddenly felt that the delicate body in his arms stopped trembling. A strong force hit him and he was pushed away. The candle went out and his body sank.

He suddenly opened his mouth and called out, "Madam!"

The pretty figure paused, then continued.

After one hundred breaths (five minutes).

Qiu Zhihe turned over and moved away from Qin Gengyun.

This bed was much more spacious than the one in the hut. Qiu Zhihe wrapped herself in the quilt and squirmed a few times, and was already far away from Qin Gengyun.

Looking at her seemingly cold but actually cute actions, Qin Gengyun smiled, and illusory words appeared in front of him:

[Marriage Relationship +5]

[Marriage relationship: 30/100. Marriage relationship stage: half-baked, half-understood. Bonus: 1]

[Obtain training points: 3]

The time has increased to five minutes!

The relationship between husband and wife also improved by 5 points!

Sure enough, couples need to open their hearts to each other in order to truly enter each other's hearts.

Also, when we were working just now, I called out "wife". Although Qiu Zhihe didn't say it, she must have been happy in her heart.

Try shouting again later.

But I didn’t expect that my wife had experienced so many tragedies. Her master and senior sister, who were as close as family to her, were killed by that evil sect, and so many of her fellow disciples also died at their hands.

Qin Gengyun looked at Qiu Zhihe, who was facing away from him and whose body began to tremble slightly again, and felt infinite pity in his heart.

The lady's coldness may just be a disguise, her sorrow and pain are hidden in her heart.

As her husband, I should treat her gently and heal the pain in her heart.

Qiu Zhihe hugged the quilt and gritted her teeth to endure the backlash from suppressing the Xuanbing Lihuo Gong. After a while, the disordered breath in her body finally calmed down gradually.

Xia Qinglian, why did you say so much to him?

If someone with ulterior motives finds out, your identity will be in danger of being exposed!

These righteous monks are all hypocritical and vicious. Don't be fooled by their brief warmth.

Remember, he is just a tool for you to recover your cultivation.

Senior sister, I will definitely avenge you!

Suddenly, Qiu Zhihe turned over and looked at Qin Gengyun coldly.

The spacious bed began to tremble again, and Qin Gengyun called softly:

"My wife."

"Shut up!"

"oh……"
