Chapter 527: I Want a Tigress
Qi Huang had never placed all her hopes on Elder Zuo from the beginning, so she had long formulated a second plan. However, there was still a year before the “wedding date,” and she was not in a hurry at all, preparing to deal with her personal matters first.
The next day, Qi Huang went to the Juyin Auction House in the prefecture capital, her purpose naturally being to collect the “Anemia Ointment.”
“Young Master Li, the ingredients for this Anemia Ointment are precious, and it is extremely troublesome to refine. Therefore, it is not common in the market of the Xihui Dynasty. I asked my third uncle to mobilize all the branch offices to search for it, and we only found five bottles in total.”
Liu Yingyue presented the five bottles of Anemia Ointment. The “third uncle” she mentioned was the current Clan Leader of the Liu family.
“Five bottles, that’s enough for now! I hope Manager Liu can continue to keep an eye out for me in the future.”
Qi Huang collected them with satisfaction. According to her and her main body’s usage rate, five bottles of Anemia Ointment would last at least two to three months.
“That’s natural.”
Liu Yingyue quickly agreed.
“By the way, how much is it in total? I’ll pay you right away.”
Qi Huang asked immediately.
“No need. You’ve helped our Liu family so much these past few years. Yingyue was worrying about not having a way to repay your kindness.”
Liu Yingyue quickly declined.
“Manager Liu, kindness is kindness, and money is money. You helping me find this Anemia Ointment is already repaying a favor. If I don’t pay, how can I have the nerve to ask for your help again in the future?”
Qi Huang argued righteously. She wouldn’t be so thick-skinned as to take it for free.
“The young master is indeed very clear about what’s what.”
Liu Yingyue smiled charmingly, but a hint of disappointment flickered in her beautiful eyes.
After paying, Qi Huang went to visit Huang Di.
“Elder Brother, my spiritual sense has broken through to the Shentong Realm.”
Huang Di sent her a telepathic message excitedly and handed the Tongming Comb to Qi Huang.
“Very good. With you guarding this place, as long as it’s not those three Shentong Realm old guys coming in person, this branch can rest easy.”
Qi Huang smiled with satisfaction.
“Yes, but those three old guys aren’t fools. What if they come in person?”
Huang Di asked with some worry.
“Then you immediately notify me. With my current speed, it won’t even take a quarter of an hour to get here. By then, I will make sure they never dare to set foot in this Juyin Auction House again.”
Qi Huang instructed.
With everything settled, Qi Huang returned to the HongHua Sect.
Late at night, in the boudoir, Cheng Hong Ling, with her robe half undone, was lying on the large bed, her pretty rosy face buried in the quilt, letting Qi Huang “massage” her.
Qi Huang, being male in psychology, was a bit flustered due to her inferiority complex at first, but after a few adjustments, she had calmed down considerably. After all, there was no male hormone in her body anymore.
Cheng Hong Ling was different. Although she was also trying her best to adapt, as the process progressed, the areas being massaged became more private. Coupled with the fact that a girl’s skin was naturally sensitive, it made her feel like she was undergoing a “tribulation” every time, causing her delicate body to tremble non-stop.
In the beginning, to distract herself, she started a conversation: “Do you know? Elder Zuo, that old fellow, told me that they failed to delay the wedding.”
“What? What happened? Didn’t you ask him for the specific details?”
Cheng Hong Ling’s body stiffened, and indeed, she stopped trembling.
“I asked, but that guy simply ignored me.”
Qi Huang said with a wry smile.
“That’s strange! Does he not care about his granddaughter’s life or death? According to normal logic, there is still a year left until the sixth day of the sixth month next year. Failing once is not a big deal, and you can try again!”
Cheng Hong Ling analyzed to herself.
“Who wouldn’t say that? But seeing how eagerly he is trying to distance himself from me, I suspect that it’s not that they have no other options, but that they genuinely want to terminate our cooperation.”
Qi Huang also inferred.
“In that case, something must have happened to the Lü Family, making him feel that there’s no need to stop me from marrying Lü Yi anymore.”
Cheng Hong Ling calmly concluded.
“I think so too.”
Qi Huang agreed.
“In a year’s time, can we deal with that Immortal Tablet?”
Cheng Hong Ling’s eyes held a trace of anticipation.
“Heh heh, you think too highly of me. In a year’s time, we won’t even be able to enter the Lü Family’s main gate.”
Qi Huang chuckled at herself. The Lü Family had a real Heavenly Monarch realm old monster as its guardian. They weren’t “crippled” like her.
“Then what should we do?”
Cheng Hong Ling furrowed her brows.
“Why don’t you just marry Lü Yi? After all, he is a descendant of Immortals, and his future is boundless.”
Qi Huang tempted her, as if by an unknown impulse.
“And what about you? The name engraved on that Immortal Tablet is not just mine alone.”
Cheng Hong Ling turned around and stared quietly at Qi Huang.
“Me? You know my past identity. I would rather die than marry a man.”
Qi Huang said with exceptional firmness.
“If you don’t marry, you’ll only die! I won’t be able to live then, so what meaning does marrying have for me?”
Cheng Hong Ling retorted.
“It’s okay. If you want to marry, I will find a way to resolve the assimilation in my dreams as soon as possible. Maybe then we can separate from the main and clone bodies.”
Qi Huang continued to test her.
“Then do you want me to marry?”
Cheng Hong Ling pulled at him.
“Well… of course I don’t want you to.”
Qi Huang spat out her true feelings through gritted teeth.
“Why?”
Cheng Hong Ling’s beautiful eyes shone brightly.
“You are my main body! If you get married, wouldn’t I be considered a stepmother in others’ eyes? At least in their eyes, that’s how it would be.”
Qi Huang gave a casual excuse.
“Then that’s settled. To avoid you becoming a stepmother, I don’t want to marry either.”
Cheng Hong Ling lay down again and said softly, “But the problem is, how can we get through this?”
“Don’t worry, as long as you don’t want to marry, we have a way.”
“If we don’t want to marry, then we won’t! Do you remember what I told you before? I’ve already formulated a second plan.”
Qi Huang reminded her.
“Tell me about it!”
Cheng Hong Ling said with keen interest.
“Join another sect!”
Qi Huang replied calmly.
“What did you say?”
Cheng Hong Ling suddenly flipped over, completely disregarding her exposed spring scene. The narrow traditional Chinese undervest could not contain her majestic chest, which swayed as if it would burst through the fabric at any moment.
“I knew you would react like this, which is why I didn’t tell you before.”
Qi Huang was startled and quickly jumped off the bed.
“Hoo!”
Cheng Hong Ling let out a deep sigh, finally calming down a little. “Go on, what do you mean by joining another sect?”
“It’s very simple. With my strength, if I go to Zhongzhou for a tour, I will definitely attract the attention of many suitors, like those other little monsters. In this way, it will be much more difficult for the Lü Family to hold the wedding ceremony for Lü Yi on time.”
Qi Huang revealed her thoughts.
“Isn’t this just driving a tiger to swallow a wolf? Elder Zuo has already tried this, and it failed.”
Cheng Hong Ling lost interest immediately.
“This is different. Elder Zuo, that old geezer, went to their door to push his product. It was like seeing a matchmaker but not the bride. Offering unsolicited favor, it looked like a pyramid scheme. How could they believe it? It’s different if we go in person. As long as we defeat those few little monsters, it will definitely attract the attention of certain major powers.”
Qi Huang explained.
“So what? Even if it succeeds, what then? Driving a tiger to swallow a wolf, we will eventually fall into the hands of the strongest tiger. If we can’t even deal with the Lü Family, how can we deal with a stronger Immortal force?”
Cheng Hong Ling raised her doubts again.
“This is where my plan differs from Elder Zuo’s. He only wanted to marry us off to others, so he was driving a male tiger. But I want to drive a tigress.”
Qi Huang said triumphantly.
“What? A tigress?”
Cheng Hong Ling was stunned.
“How much do you know about the Immortal forces in the Cultivation World?”
Qi Huang asked a question instead of answering.
“There are currently nine great Immortal forces in the entire Cultivation World, which are the sects or noble families where those nine little monsters belong. Six of them are located in Zhongzhou, and three are located in the East, South, and North Continents of the Cultivation Continent, respectively. Only our West Continent does not have any. ”
Cheng Hong Ling replied after a moment’s thought, which was also something she had learned in a hurry.
“That’s right. To the south, there is a pure female Immortal sect called the Hua Rong Sect. They are the tigresses I was talking about! And tigresses… won’t eat us!”
Qi Huang said with ill intent.
