If it were in Zhenyang City, such a Spirit Vein Immortal Mansion would at least cost 2000 Spirit Stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After paying the Spirit Stones and signing the house deed, this Immortal Mansion now belonged to Qin Gengyun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three walked together towards Narrow Rain Lane, ready to move things over today so they could settle in by the evening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Throughout the journey, Liu Su was very excited, while Qiu Zhihe remained silent, her round and charming face showing joy mixed with a hint of worry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The better Qin Gengyun treated her, the more fearful she became.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She feared that when the day of separation came, she wouldn’t be able to harden her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zhihe, I want to buy that little house in Narrow Rain Lane again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Gengyun suddenly said to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiu Zhihe knew Qin Gengyun was referring to the extremely cramped little house where the two stayed when they got married, and she asked, confused:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Gengyun said, \"That was the place where we got married, our first house as a couple, our first home. If one day we are separated, we can return there and wait for each other, how about that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiu Zhihe stared blankly at him, her cool almond eyes slightly trembling, as if misty fog was rising.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She quickly turned her head, not wanting Qin Gengyun to see her moist eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ve become too weak these past two days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This must not happen again in the future!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s the matter, dear?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Gengyun asked, Qiu Zhihe shook her head, her voice returning to calm:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m tired, let’s go back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three returned to Narrow Rain Lane, only to find two female cultivators standing at their door, surprisingly, it was Si Minglan and Fang Xue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Xue saw Qiu Zhihe and smiled as she stepped forward to hold her arm, \"Sister Qiu, it’s been so long, I’ve missed you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Si Minglan was similarly appraising Qiu Zhihe, showing a look of amazement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such appearance and figure, indeed of national beauty and fragrance, as beautiful as a fish sinking and a goose falling!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a beautiful female cultivator actually marrying a Loose Cultivator who hasn’t even reached Foundation Establishment?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seems Ye Xiyue’s suspicion wasn’t entirely unfounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Last night, Si Minglan reported the interrogation of Qin Gengyun again using a Sound Transmission Talisman to Ye Xiyue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In her view, Qin Gengyun should not have any problems.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Ye Xiyue remained skeptical and commanded her to visit Qin Gengyun’s home today to take the opportunity to investigate Qin Gengyun’s wife.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Si Minglan was dismissive, she had to obey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, today she brought Fang Xue to Narrow Rain Lane, ostensibly to accompany Fang Xue in visiting a friend and to thank Qin Gengyun for last night’s invitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in reality, she was secretly investigating Qin Gengyun’s wife.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Qiu Zhihe’s beauty at this moment, even Si Minglan, who was ranked twentieth on the Beauty Ranking, was quite amazed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such appearance and temperament, is she really just an ordinary female cultivator?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be that they are pretending to be a couple to cover their identity?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Si Minglan then showed a charming smile to Qiu Zhihe and said: \"You must be Alchemist Qin’s wife, truly making me feel pity, what’s your name? From where do you come?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiu Zhihe didn’t speak, Qin Gengyun stepped in front of her, cupped his hands and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior Si, my wife is introverted, not fond of speaking, please don’t mind. Her name is Qiu Zhihe, from a small sect on the edge of Northern Wilderness, exterminated by the Demon Sect, and she ended up here in Yunling Town.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So she’s quite a pitiable person.\" Si Minglan giggled:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I were a man, I would certainly steal away your charming wife!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Gengyun laughed heartily: \"Senior Si is joking.

Please, Senior Si, come inside for a conversation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then I won’t stand on ceremony!\" Si Minglan threw a seductive glance at Qin Gengyun, and winked at Qiu Zhihe before walking into the house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Xue nodded apologetically to Qiu Zhihe and followed her senior sister inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Gengyun said to Qiu Zhihe with a wry face: \"Dear, be gentle.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did Liu Su realize that Qin Gengyun and Qiu Zhihe’s hands were still clasped together earlier; now Qiu Zhihe let go and Qin Gengyun’s palm bore deep nail marks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Haha!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Su burst into laughter: \"Serves you right, who asked you to attract butterflies everywhere, my lord?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Gengyun quickly said to Qiu Zhihe: \"Dear, I really have done nothing with Senior Si!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Su laughed again; indeed, there hadn’t been much, just watching someone bathe, seeing someone dressed in Shameful Clothes, thinking the mistress was unaware?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go entertain the guests.\" Qiu Zhihe said coldly and went straight into the house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, her heart was filled with not only annoyance but more so confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why does her heart feel sour whenever she sees him slightly intimate with another woman?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Qinglian, oh Xia Qinglian, who would have thought you’d become such a petty and jealous woman one day!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, it’s Qiu Zhihe who’s jealous; it has nothing to do with Xia Qinglian!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking this, Qiu Zhihe immediately understood much more. She saw Qin Gengyun inviting Si Minglan and Fang Xue to sit, so she went to the kitchen to prepare tea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She is playing the role of a gentle and affectionate little wife, naturally, she has to brew tea for the guests at this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just a moment, Si Minglan actually walked into the kitchen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Such a lovely beauty, and so considerate, Alchemist Qin is really fortunate!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today, Si Minglan wore a loose purple emerald pattern skirt, with a high neckline, unlike her usual revealing style.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiu Zhihe was dressed in the Hundred Pleats Cloud Pattern Skirt that Qin Gengyun had bought for her for twenty Spirit Stones, she turned around to face Si Minglan, in a red skirt, charming and cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Si Minglan swayed her waist, walked in front of her, and giggled:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With such beauty, why would you willingly marry a Loose Cultivator?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiu Zhihe said indifferently: \"I am willing to marry him, why not?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems you and Alchemist Qin are truly loving, however, have you ever thought...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Si Minglan stared into Qiu Zhihe’s eyes, laughed flirtatiously: \"If your husband gets tired, he will fancy another woman. Men are all lustful; one day, you will be discarded!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiu Zhihe calmly said: \"He is my husband, he wouldn’t do such a thing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Si Minglan giggled: \"Little beauty, you’ve seen too few men, one day you’ll regret it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiu Zhihe said: \"Seeing my husband is enough, why see anyone else?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After half a two-hour period.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Si Minglan and Fang Xue bade farewell and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once out of Narrow Rain Lane, Si Minglan no longer appeared flirtatious and glamorous and became somewhat silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Qiu Zhihe as such a beauty, yet obediently staying beside Qin Gengyun, the first reaction was suspicion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A woman like this couldn’t possibly marry a Loose Cultivator at the Qi Cultivation Stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, after probing Qiu Zhihe in the kitchen, she realized this breathtakingly beautiful woman was indeed deeply in love with Qin Gengyun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She suddenly found it amusing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back then, the ministers of the West Imperial Dynasty were all virtuous and deeply in love with their wives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, only she knew the true face of these \"good men.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despicable, shameless, cruel, malicious...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From then on, Si Minglan no longer trusted any men in the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Women in this world should not trust men.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet there is a woman like Qiu Zhihe, with such beauty, foolishly believing in her useless husband.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Utterly foolish!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Xiyue suspected her of being the Demon Sect Saintess?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Returning to the inn, Si Minglan instructed Fang Xue not to disturb her, then took out a Sound Transmission Talisman to send a message to Ye Xiyue:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve investigated Qin Gengyun’s wife, she’s just a foolish woman lost in emotion, not possibly Xia Qinglian.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sound Transmission Talisman quickly showed Ye Xiyue’s response: \"How about her appearance? Any notable features?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Si Minglan hesitated, suddenly recalling Qiu Zhihe’s tenderness and peace beside Qin Gengyun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She paused for a moment, then replied: \"Plain and ordinary, nothing special.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1478,"2026-06-06T06:27:20.281Z",1,"novelbin.me","f9c62d591ca8a7cc183c5f3fe996dce5dd05e03541c958f104a3a22be34a6662","marry-the-demon-sect-girl-with-no-bride-price-chapter-164","marry-the-demon-sect-girl-with-no-bride-price-chapter-162",521,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmarry-the-demon-sect-girl-with-no-bride-price-cover.jpg"]
