Chapter 101: Chapter 101: The Mantis Stalks the Cicada, While the Oriole Waits Behind

The next day.

3:30 AM.

"Zhihe, I’m heading out."

"Hmm."

After finishing the seventh cycle of a hundred breaths, Qin Gengyun got up, dressed, informed his wife, and hurried out the door.

As soon as he stepped out, the door of the adjacent Alchemy Room opened quietly, and Liu Su, dressed for the night, dashed out as well.

From afar, she saw Qin Gengyun’s figure turn left out of Narrow Rain Lane, and Liu Su chuckled quietly, immediately following.

I really want to see what kind of mysterious person your master is.

Soon after Liu Su left, a tall red silhouette jumped onto the rooftop, watching Qin Gengyun below, while Liu Su followed secretly, her elegant brows slightly furrowed.

"I knew it."

Xia Qinglian knew Liu Su too well. Yesterday, Liu Su had asked several times about Qin Gengyun’s master, so she was sure Liu Su was up to something.

Thus, tonight she waited a moment before heading out, only to catch Liu Su in the act.

After a moment’s thought, Xia Qinglian silently followed behind Liu Su.

"Is he leaving Yunling Town? How mysterious, haha, it’s getting more interesting!"

Liu Su, unaware of the ’mantis’ behind her, excitedly continued trailing Qin Gengyun, finding it increasingly amusing.

In front, Qin Gengyun, unaware he had become the ’cicada’, ran at full speed, soon reaching the agreed-upon mid-slope of Yunling Mountain with his master.

Entering the familiar forest, he did not see his master’s figure.

Qin Gengyun cupped his hands and called out loudly, "Master, I’ve arrived."

Puff, only a clump of snow fell from the branches, the surroundings utterly silent.

Qin Gengyun spoke again, "Master, I apologize for being late, please forgive me."

But it remained quiet all around.

Liu Su hid behind a large tree at a distance, eyes wide, the fire of gossip blazing in her pupils.

Haha, it’s coming out!

Once I see what this guy’s master looks like, I’ll go tell the Saintess.

If it’s a man, forget it, but if it’s a woman, I must watch closely and make sure he doesn’t wrong the Saintess!

However, after waiting for a long time, with Qin Gengyun shouting over ten times, the master still did not appear.

Liu Su couldn’t help but yawn, "What’s going on, is this guy being played?"

Qin Gengyun stopped calling and sat cross-legged, taking out the cultivation secret manual of "Golden Dawn Fist", starting to train on his own.

Half an hour passed, and his master still hadn’t appeared, yet Qin Gengyun showed no impatience, standing up, and began practicing by himself.

In an instant, the fist wind stirred, pale blue fist lights flickered, the momentum quite impressive.

"Yawn, what is that? This guy’s master only taught him such low-tier techniques?"

Liu Su’s yawns nearly stretched to the sky as she got up, utterly bored:

"No fun, it’s killing me with boredom, I’m heading back to sleep."

Her figure flickered, soon disappearing in the distance.

Moments later, as Qin Gengyun circulated spiritual power according to the "Golden Dawn Fist" technique and swung his fists, a chill suddenly assailed his face.

His master had arrived!

Qin Gengyun perked up, blocking with both hands, being pushed back two steps, yet a smile appeared on his face:

"Master, you’re here?"

Before him stood that tall, graceful red figure with arms crossed, her voice ethereal and cold:

"Continue, tonight you must fully assimilate the Golden Dawn Fist."

"Yes, Master, I’m coming!"

Clap! Clap! Clap!

The forest resounded with powerful and energetic sounds.

Progress is too slow.

Xia Qinglian gradually grew impatient.

By the age of ten, she had already mastered dozens of low-tier techniques and could comprehend rough techniques like "Golden Dawn Fist" with just a glance.

Qin Gengyun had been practicing for two nights and had only learned most of it.

Truly too slow.

Xia Qinglian, perhaps you’ve been too lenient, allowing him to slack off like this?

Feeling a chill, Xia Qinglian increased her cultivation to fifty percent, causing Qin Gengyun, already struggling, to become even more flustered.

Her palm’s energy hit his abdomen, sending him flying into the snow, where he spat out blood.

Xia Qinglian was startled, "You..." her lips beneath the veil paused, and the words went unspoken.

Qin Gengyun rose, cupped his hands, "Master, I’m fine, don’t worry, let’s continue."

Xia Qinglian snorted coldly, "If you can’t block even when I use only half my strength, so useless, why should I worry about you?"

Then she paused in surprise, why did I just call myself "master"?

Xia Qinglian, aren’t you shameless!

It doesn’t matter, the shameless one is Qiu Zhihe, what’s it got to do with Xia Qinglian?

Then she coldly said, "Continue."

Subsequently, she attacked again, but this time she was extremely restrained, retracting each time she was about to hit Qin Gengyun.

"Master, no need to hold back, I lack combat experience, please train me with full strength, don’t worry."

Moments later, Qin Gengyun spoke.

"Who’s worried about you?!"

Xia Qinglian snorted coldly, increasing her power again, the forest immediately echoing with intense clashes and screams.

...

5:45 AM.

Dawn was breaking outside.

Qin Gengyun, covered in injuries, quietly opened the bedroom door and entered the room.

Only to see that Qiu Zhihe had already dressed and was sitting by the bed.

"Zhihe, you’re already up?"

Qin Gengyun was surprised, Qiu Zhihe glanced him up and down, frowning slightly:

"Lie down, and take off your clothes."

Qin Gengyun was startled, seeing the porcelain bowl set on the bedside table, the medicinal brew inside emitting a strong fragrance, he understood, moved to the bed, and adeptly stripped off his clothes and pants, lying down.

Qiu Zhihe dipped her fingers in the medicinal brew, applying it to his body.

She quickly applied the medicine to his wounds, and as Qin Gengyun was about to get up, a gentle hand pressed on his shoulder.

"Don’t move."

Then, that delicate, fair hand slowly moved down, gently pressing on his abdomen.

"Zhihe, you..."

Soon, a warm stream flowed from her hand into Qin Gengyun’s spirit field, easing much of the injury caused by his master earlier.

After half an incense stick’s time, Qin Gengyun’s injury in his spirit field had healed by seventy to eighty percent, only then did Qiu Zhihe’s hand leave.

Seeing Qin Gengyun staring blankly at her, she said coolly:

"Sleep!"

Then she got up and left the bedroom.

Qin Gengyun closed his eyes, but his mind kept replaying the feeling of his wife applying medicine, her soft little hand pressing on his abdomen.

A grin appeared on his face.

...

The next day.

Midnight.

In the Alchemy Room.

"That guy and the Saintess have both gone into the bedroom, surely they have started cultivating. Once it’s over, he’ll head to Yunling Mountain, this time I’ll keep an eye out and wait for his master to appear!"

Liu Su looked excited, with her ear tilted, listening to the sounds outside.

As soon as Qin Gengyun left, she would follow again.

After a while, the door of the Alchemy Room opened, and a petite figure walked in.

"Saintess? Weren’t you... cultivating?"

Liu Su was surprised.

Qiu Zhihe said lightly, "How has your cultivation been recovering?"

Liu Su chuckled, "Just recovered to the Fourth-Layer of Qi Cultivation."

Qiu Zhihe made a move, a faint glow flew from her palm, startling Liu Su, who hurriedly blocked, but the next moment, Qiu Zhihe grabbed her by the neck.

"You’re too lazy, you have half a year to recover to the Foundation Establishment."

After speaking, Qiu Zhihe turned and left.

"Huh? Foundation Establishment in half a year? That means I won’t even get to sleep!"

Liu Su’s mouth gaped, her cultivation wasn’t just at Foundation Establishment, but she was severely injured in the battle at Celestial Ridge Mountain, needing time to slowly recover.

But she was the laziest, unwilling to put in hard work anywhere.

Now, forced by the Saintess’s order, she had no choice but to comply.

With a long face, Liu Su began cultivating.

This meant there was no time to follow that guy.

Hmm?

A thought suddenly surfaced in Liu Su’s mind.

Why is the Saintess suddenly forcing me like this?

Could there be some other reason?
