From the back view, beneath her slender waist, are two round and prominent curves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Possessing a girl’s charm yet a young woman’s allure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the noise, Qiu Zhihe turned her head. Qin Gengyun cleared his throat, shifting his gaze from below to her face and excitedly said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Taoist Friend Qiu, we have money now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiu Zhihe didn’t react much, turned back, and continued cooking porridge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon the porridge was done. The bronze stove was moved back to the kitchen by Qiu Zhihe, and they ate in the outer room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Gengyun took out the Spirit Crystal containing seven hundred Spirit Stones, feeling quite proud:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Taoist Friend Qiu, I just bought this Spirit Crystal at the Pill Talisman Tower. How about we store all our money in this Spirit Crystal from now on?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiu Zhihe nodded, continuing to focus on her porridge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Gengyun then recounted his refusal of the fifty Blood Coagulation Pills and asked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Taoist Friend Qiu, do you think I did the right thing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiu Zhihe finished her porridge and calmly replied:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Only fifty First Grade pills, what’s there to hesitate over?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uh...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Gengyun laughed heartily: \"Taoist Friend Qiu is right. Instead of worrying about these, it’s better to focus on improving the Alchemy Dao and cultivation realms!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He excitedly said: \"Taoist Friend Qiu, I plan to attempt refining Blood Coagulation Pills tomorrow to see if I can make Spirit Pills. Right, for refining Blood Coagulation Pills, I need Blood Coagulation Grass and Vitality Fruits. Tomorrow, I’ll buy some Vitality Fruits with the scattering value, but the Blood Coagulation Grass—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could finish speaking, Qiu Zhihe straightforwardly said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll give it to you tomorrow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Gengyun was overjoyed: \"Thank you, Taoist Friend Qiu.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The costliest material for refining Blood Coagulation Pills is the Blood Coagulation Grass, just two Spirit Stones per plant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s secondary, mainly Qiu Zhihe’s cultivated Spirit Grass has better quality than ordinary ones, and the Pills refined from them can sell for better prices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With some caution, selling them in small batches won’t attract attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the meal, Qin Gengyun washed the dishes as usual, while Qiu Zhihe silently sat at the table, head down, seemingly preoccupied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Taoist Friend Qiu, what’s wrong?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nothing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiu Zhihe casually responded, getting up and heading to the bedside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To her, Qin Gengyun refusing fifty Blood Coagulation Pills seemed cowardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But on second thought, she herself had altered her form, hiding in this small town, merely making a living; how could she mock Qin Gengyun?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Qinglian, you are no longer the Demon Sect Saintess, but a weakly newlywed wife of a loose cultivator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Giving orders and being dominant is in the past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, you must be as cautious as Qin Gengyun, not striving for superiority, never standing out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until your cultivation fully recovers, you must perfectly disguise, like other married female cultivators, behaving gently, virtuously, obediently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Taoist Friend Qiu, what’s wrong?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Gengyun’s voice came from behind, Qiu Zhihe turned, barely managing a \"gentle\" smile:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Taoist Friend Qin, let’s rest.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Gengyun nodded, and they both sat at the bed’s edge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiu Zhihe placed her hands neatly on her knees, eyelids lowered, resembling a shy young lady.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She’d heard from Chen Fang next door, most couples have husbands taking the initiative, wives only need to respond gently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Qiu Zhihe decided to always let Qin Gengyun take the initiative; this way, they would appear like a normal couple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Won’t draw attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After waiting a moment, Qin Gengyun made no move, so Qiu Zhihe turned to look at him:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Taoist Friend Qin, it’s time to sleep.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Gengyun quickly agreed, and Qiu Zhihe put out the candle; both took off their outer clothing and pulled up the covers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiu Zhihe lay on her side with her back to Qin Gengyun, awaiting his advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind her, Qin Gengyun lay on his side as well, feeling both apprehensive and excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew Qiu Zhihe was about to pounce.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All he needed to do was respond gently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, Qiu Zhihe turned back and coldly asked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Taoist Friend Qin, it’s time to sleep.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Gengyun looked at her confused: \"Aren’t we sleeping already?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wondering what was wrong with Taoist Friend Qiu today?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why hadn’t she started yet?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing his bewildered expression, Qiu Zhihe’s hard-earned composure and gentleness drained away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such efficiency, how long will it take to recover my cultivation?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, she directly pounced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Taoist Friend Qiu, you finally... ah~~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thirty-five breaths later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The work had just ended, and from outside came Meng Yu’s shouting and cursing:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That damn dog thief! If it’s a woman, she’ll be a whore for life! If it’s a man, he’ll have his roots cut off, become a eunuch!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Gengyun frowned: \"Taoist Friend Meng must be drunk again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Qiu Zhihe turn back over with a cold gaze, Qin Gengyun asked, puzzled:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Taoist Friend Qiu, what’s wrong? Ah?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Breathing heavily, Qin Gengyun said: \"Taoist Friend Qiu, wait, I have something to discuss with you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiu Zhihe looked at him, her bright almond eyes cold in the dark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Gengyun continued: \"Taoist Friend Mo has often helped me greatly; this time, selling the Clear Wind Powder at the Pill Talisman Tower was thanks to her for raising the price.
