Chapter 36: Murdering the Husband! Holy Maiden, Just You Wait:
(The next day)
They finally exited from the bronze palace when the sun was already high in the sky.
The Holy Maiden of Azure Profound Holy Land, dressed in white with a cold expression, had reverted to her ice-cold fairy appearance.
“I was exhausted yesterday. Can’t you at least fly normally with the sword?” Ye Wuhen complained, not wanting to be carried again.
“Bullshit, I had it worse…” Han Qingxue shot him a glare, her icy demeanor breaking for a moment.
“That's because you insisted on…”
“Shut up!”
Han Qingxue spat out the words and cut him off, stopping him from saying more.
However, she was still considerate and didn’t actually carry Ye Wuhen again. She also stored the bronze palace into Ye Wuhen’s storage bag.
After completing all this, Han Qingxue waved her hand, and the flying sword appeared beneath them with a soft hum.
They stepped onto it, and it transformed into a streak of light, disappearing into the sky.
...
The place wasn't far from the Azure Profound Holy Land. Even with one extra person, Han Qingxue’s flying sword speed didn’t slow down much.
In less than the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, a range of continuous mountains appeared before them.
Before the towering mountains stood a massive and grand white jade gate. On the plaque were four elegantly carved characters: Azure Profound Holy Land!
“What are you planning to do with me?” Ye Wuhen asked from behind Han Qingxue, wrapping his arms around her slender waist and whispering in her ear. “Am I going to be directly admitted as an inner disciple? Or are you planning to hide me away in your Xuantian Peak?”
“Pah… Dream on!” Han Qingxue retorted, her icy fairy act completely shattered. “I am the pure and noble Holy Maiden of Azure Profound Holy Land. How could I associate with someone like you? Get down!”
Han Qingxue spat quietly and then grabbed Ye Wuhen’s arm.
“Holy shit!!!” Ye Wuhen exclaimed in shock, realizing something was wrong. But it was too late.
He felt himself enveloped by a force of spiritual Qi from the heavens and earth, and he dropped from mid-air, crashing toward the ground…
The howling wind roared in his ears. Ye Wuhen cursed inwardly.
Betrayed without mercy!
No, wait, it seemed like he’s cursing himself. It should be 'murdering the husband'…
...
Bang!
A thunderous crash sounded as Ye Wuhen, like a cannonball, smashed into a dense forest, creating a large human-shaped crater in the ground.
Fortunately, Han Qingxue had some decency and covered Ye Wuhen with a protective shield of spiritual Qi, or else the charge of murdering the husband might have stuck!
...
“What’s that noise over there?”
“I just saw a streak of light fall from the sky. It looked like some extraordinary treasure!”
“No way, such luck. It seems like we might have a chance to join the Qingxuan Holy Land together, haha…”
As Ye Wuhen crawled out of the crater, he heard voices nearby.
“Rustle… rustle…”
Three men and two women emerged from the forest, surrounding Ye Wuhen. They looked to be around twenty years old, their bodies radiating continuous spiritual Qi, indicating they were at least at the Meridian Refinement Realm.
In Qingyun City, at around twenty years old, reaching the 9th stage Qi Gathering Realm was already considered exceptional talent. Achieving Meridian Refinement Realm would make one an extraordinary genius.
That was why when Nalan Yanran made a breakthrough into the Meridian Refinement Realm at 17, it shocked everyone around her.
But now, five people around twenty at the Meridian Refinement Realm appeared simultaneously.
If the people of Qingyun City knew, they would surely be in an uproar.
But Ye Wuhen was well aware…
There were many such geniuses in this dense forest, at least hundreds of them. The Eastern Continent was vast and boundless, with Qingyun City being just a small corner of it. Every year, countless talented individuals emerged in the Eastern Continent and moved on to broader horizons.
The Azure Profound Holy Land was clearly one of those broader horizons.
The Eastern Continent was filled with geniuses from various regions.
Do they think they were impressive?
No…
At the entrance of the Azure Profound Holy Land, they were nothing special. Each year, out of these hundreds of people, only a few dozen, or even just a few, were qualified to truly join the Azure Profound Holy Land. The real geniuses or prodigies were the ones inside!
...
“Han Qingxue, you little demon…”
“You’re really ruthless. No matter what, we were married for a day, so it’s a hundred days of affection!”
“Last night, at least several hundred days of affection!”
Ye Wuhen grumbled inwardly about his current predicament. However, he was only venting a little. He was actually quite satisfied with Han Qingxue’s arrangement…
Being hidden away in a golden house or using privileges to send him to the inner sect wouldn’t have suited him. Rising step by step was much more enjoyable.
Moreover, there were many secrets waiting to be uncovered in the Azure Profound Holy Land. Being an ordinary disciple was more convenient.
But that little demon tossing him down like that was too simple and crude, making Ye Wuhen very unhappy. He was already planning to take revenge the next time he went into a cave by train!!!
