late at night.

Shower room.

Qiu Zhihe sat in the bathtub and closed her eyes.

Her long hair was piled up high, revealing her slender, white neck.

I have to go to Yunling Mountain to teach that idiot how to fight at 3:30 pm, so you don't need to wash your hair. Wait until tomorrow morning to wash it.

I’m going to tell him today not to call me “Master” anymore, otherwise I’m going to punish him severely!

Suddenly, Qiu Zhihe opened her eyes.

"Liu Su, what are you doing?"

A head popped out of the door and said with a smile:

"Miss, I haven't taken a bath with you for a long time."

Qiu Zhihe glanced at her and said, "Didn't I tell you to concentrate on helping him refine the elixir?"

"It's already finished. With me here, this guy's efficiency in refining pills has improved!"

Liusu walked in, her eyes scanning Qiu Zhihe's shoulders exposed above the water and half of the mountains.

"Hehe, Saint, you are quite cute now that you are petite and small. I just wonder if your body will change back immediately if something happens to it?"

Qiu Zhihe looked at her calmly: "What do you want to say?"

Liusu looked back outside and whispered, "Saintess, you practice with that guy every day... If you get pregnant, what will you do?"

Qiu Zhihe looked at her quietly, her voice turned cold:

"Are you worried that I will become soft-hearted after having a child, and won't be willing to leave even if my cultivation is restored?"

Liusu suddenly took off her clothes, got into the bathtub, and pressed herself tightly against Qiu Zhihe, resting her head on her shoulder.

"Saint, I grew up with you since childhood. I know that although you seem indifferent, you are actually not heartless. You spend every day with that guy, so it's not surprising that you really have feelings for him..."

"Shut up!"

Qiu Zhihe interrupted Liusu coldly, her voice full of murderous intent:

"I have countless blood on my hands, how could I have feelings for a casual righteous cultivator? He is just a tool for me to recover my cultivation. Being nice to him is just pretending to be a virtuous woman to deceive others."

"As for pregnancy, the Mysterious Ice Fire Technique will absorb all the energy, so there is no way I can get pregnant."

Liusu stared at her blankly: "Saint..."

Qiu Zhihe stood up and walked out of the bathtub. The water droplets on her body evaporated quickly. With a wave of her hand, the dress wrapped around her beautiful body.

Her cheeks were rosy and her thin clothes were wrinkled, but her face was as cold as ice.

Qiu Zhihe walked to the door of the bathroom, and Liusu suddenly said:

"Saint, if you feel guilty about him, I am willing to relieve your worries and give him more offspring for you."

Qiu Zhihe turned back suddenly, his eyes cold and stern: "What did you say?!"

Liusu stuck out her tongue and smiled mischievously: "I was just joking, Saint, why don't you be more honest? Aren't you tired of pretending to be heartless all the time?"

Qiu Zhihe looked at her coldly: "If you dare to talk nonsense again, don't follow me!"

"I'm sorry, I won't dare to do it again!" Liusu quickly admitted her mistake.

Qiu Zhihe ignored her and walked straight out of the bathroom.

Liusu leaned back in the bathtub and sighed.

"Senior Sister Hongtang, if you were here, what would you do?"

…

Two quarters of an hour at Yin.

The seventh time is after one hundred breaths.

Qin Gengyun got off the bed and said to Qiu Zhihe, who had her back to him:

"Zhihe, I'm leaving now. You go to sleep."

"Um."

Qiu Zhihe agreed and said nothing more.

Qin Gengyun went out and quickly headed towards Yunling Town.

In the bedroom, Qiu Zhihe stood up, her body gradually grew taller, her long hair turned fiery red, she took off her plain skirt, took out a red dress from the storage bag and put it on.

With a flash of his body, he was out the door.

Under the night sky, the red shadow turned into a stream of light, shuttling across the continuous eaves. When it reached Liuyan Lane, it saw Qin Gengyun running below.

Xia Qinglian's eyes flashed, and her body moved faster, surpassing Qin Gengyun and disappearing into the distance in an instant.

Qin Gengyun didn't know that his "master" had flown over his head. He calculated the time and hurried on his way as fast as he could. Finally, he arrived at Yunling Mountain before three quarters before the hour of Yin.

When I arrived at the familiar woods, I could see from afar the tall and plump red figure standing with her hands behind her back.

Qin Gengyun hurried forward and bowed, "Master."

Xia Qinglian waved her hand: "I don't like red tape. Don't call me Master from now on. Just call me by my name."

"this……"

Qin Gengyun felt a little embarrassed. After all, she was his master. If he called her by her name directly, it would be disrespectful.

"Whatever you want to say."

Seeing that he was in a difficult situation, Xia Qinglian had already forgotten her previous decision to "punish him severely if he doesn't obey" and stopped forcing him. She said seriously:

"Did you bring the secret manual?"

Qin Gengyun quickly took out the book "Golden Cloud Fist" from his arms and presented it with both hands:

"I brought it, Master. I just practiced it for a while, but I didn't get the method right, so my punches are very weak."

Xia Qinglian took the secret book and quickly flipped through it. This low-level technique was not difficult for her. She understood the key points at a glance and said to Qin Gengyun:

"Throw a punch and let me see."

"yes."

Qin Gengyun agreed, walked to a big tree that was as thick as three people put together, circulated his spiritual power, and was about to punch.

"Who told you to kill something?"

Xia Qinglian said coldly: "Attack me."

Qin Gengyun was startled and said quickly, "Yes, Master, I am sorry for my disrespect."

After saying that, he threw a punch at Xia Qinglian. The air around them vibrated and snowflakes flew. The power of this punch was even more powerful than the one that knocked Zhou Kun down that day.

Bang!

The fist that was glowing faintly was easily grasped by a slender hand.

The touch was cold and smooth, and Qin Gengyun quickly withdrew his hand. He felt a slight sensation in his heart, and did not dare to look directly at his master's plump curves.

"I'll give you one stick of incense. Learn this technique and then fight me."

"ah?"

Qin Gengyun looked up in surprise: "One stick of incense? How is this possible?"

Although the "Golden Cloud Fist" here is only a low-level martial art, it is impossible to learn it within a stick of incense, right?

Xia Qinglian was also surprised: "Is one stick of incense not enough?"

Such a simple technique, she could learn it after just a few glances when she was ten years old, so why would she need a stick of incense?

"Well, let me try." Qin Gengyun was hurt by his master's surprised tone, and a man's desire to win surged in his heart.

Being looked down upon like this, I must fight for my dignity.

After one stick of incense.

Xia Qinglian asked: "Are you ready?"

Qin Gengyun said helplessly: "Master, can you add another stick of incense?"

Xia Qinglian frowned slightly and suddenly punched towards him.

Qin Gengyun was startled and quickly raised his hand to block, but he was immediately flustered and was beaten back repeatedly, with several hits on his body and face.

"Master, I still need to digest what I just learned. Can you wait for a moment?"

"The enemy won't wait for you."

"ah!!"

Mao hour.

"Thank you for your teachings, Master. I will come back the day after tomorrow."

Qin Gengyun bowed to Xia Qinglian, raised his head, and his nose and face were swollen.

Xia Qinglian hummed and turned her back.

Qin Gengyun bid farewell to his master and hurried to Yunling Town.

Not long after he left, a red shadow flashed, and Xia Qinglian went down the mountain from another road, entered Yunling Town, flew over the roofs, and turned her head to see Qin Gengyun running on the street.

The first rays of morning light shone through the dark clouds, shining onto Yunling Town and falling on two figures on the street and the eaves.

Xia Qinglian quickened her pace, got back to the narrow rain alley first, and entered the house.

She took off her red dress and put it into the storage bag. Her tall body became petite again. She changed into a thin sleeping skirt and got into bed.

After a while, the bedroom door opened, Qin Gengyun came in quietly, took off his coat, and lay down on the bed.

Perhaps it was because of the wound on his body that he bared his teeth and hissed, then quickly covered his mouth.

Looking at the "sleeping" Qiu Zhihe, he smiled and closed his eyes.

Silence returned to the bedroom.
