“Is that so? Then congratulations to Elder Zuo. Don’t you know what you plan to do?”
Cao Hong asked indifferently, clearly disappointed in Elder Zuo.
“Proceed with the original plan, see if it can be taken away, and if not, I will find a way to destroy it.”
Elder Z reiterated his plan.
“Alright, then this Alliance Leader will await good news. Remember, no matter what, you cannot let the HongHua Sect sell Golden Life Flower seeds next month, nor can you damage the reputation of the Immortal Alliance!”
Cao Hong reminded him.
“Yes, sir!”
Elder Z accepted the order with great enthusiasm.
In the Cheng family’s courtyard, Qi Huang laid out some fruits and pastries, then leaned back in a reclining chair to bask in the sun. As the Yin Energy in Huang Tian Prefecture had decreased by eighty to ninety percent, sunbathing was no longer a luxury.
“You’re still sleeping here. Aren’t you afraid that Elder Z will steal all those Golden Life Flowers?”
Cheng Hong Ling walked over helplessly and reminded him.
“If he had that ability, he wouldn’t just be an elder. Now, in the entire Cultivation Continent, no one can touch my husband’s things!”
Qi Huang said lazily.
“If you’re not afraid of theft, aren’t you afraid of covetousness? You’re so confident, why not just go and destroy the Immortal Alliance? I don’t know what you’re thinking!”
Cheng Hong Ling said somewhat impatiently.
“Because I’m good at it.”
Qi Huang sat up and reached out to take Cheng Hong Ling’s jade-like hand.
“Get away, be serious with me, okay?”
Cheng Hong Ling struggled symbolically.
Qi Huang shamelessly pulled Cheng Hong Ling onto her lap and sat down, hugging her willow-like waist tightly, as if afraid she would escape.
“Don’t you dare be so rude to me? Aren’t you afraid I’ll retaliate at night?”
Cheng Hong Ling smiled mischievously. Three years had passed, and she had long understood her lover’s situation. During the day, she indeed seemed like an undeniable “man,” but at night, she would turn into a little lambpa.
“Come on, let’s hurt each other! What am I afraid of?”
Qi Huang’s hands became more restless. Since she knew she would have to pay a price, why not take advantage of it as much as possible.
“Stop messing around and let’s talk about serious matters first.”
Cheng Hong Ling grabbed Qi Huang’s playful hand with some embarrassment.
Qi Huang straightened her expression and then said, “Everything requires a proper reason. If I were to inexplicably go and destroy the Immortal Alliance, how could that show my superiority?”
“So, you mean you’ll wait for the Immortal Alliance to reveal its true colors, and then deal with the Immortal Alliance under the guise of standing up for the people of Huangtian Capital?”
Cheng Hong Ling immediately guessed Qi Huang’s plan.
“That’s right. I worked desperately to get the Golden Life Flower seeds, and watered them with my blood for so long. Each one is only sold for one tael of silver, which is no different from giving them away for free. Since I have the opportunity to gain more reputation now, why not?”
Qi Huang smiled proudly.
“You’re just too vain.”
Cheng Hong Ling glared at Qi Huang helplessly.
“As long as one is human, who isn’t vain? Am I not also bringing face to you and your parents? I am an ambitious son-in-law!”
Qi Huang declared solemnly.
“Son-in-law? You mean daughter-in-law!”
Cheng Hong Ling corrected, unwilling to be outdone, and then continued to ask, “What about after we destroy the Immortal Alliance? Who will maintain order in the Cultivation World then? Although the Immortal Alliance has done many evil deeds, they have at least served as a deterrent to some evil spirits and petty thieves. We cannot just destroy them all.”
Cheng Hong Ling was a little worried.
“If there’s no Immortal Alliance, there will be other alliances. We can create a Divine Alliance or Ghost Alliance or something. If my dear wife is worried, then you can be the leader. That way, you can wholeheartedly serve the people.”
Qi Huang mused.
“Me be the leader? What about you?”
Cheng Hong Ling slightly frowned.
“Me? I will of course go to solve our hidden danger. It’s time to uproot the Immortal Tablet of the Lü family as well.”
Qi Huang replied with sharp eyes.
“Not just the Lü family, but the Cao family too. If they keep coveting the Saintess of the Hua Rong Sect, that will be a problem for us too!”
Cheng Hong Ling added.
“Humph, whether it’s the Lü family or the Cao family, anyone who dares to target us will be annihilated. At worst, we can uproot all the Immortal Tablets in the Cultivation World, as they are not good things anyway.”
Qi Huang said enthusiastically.
“And then what?”
A trace of anticipation flashed in Cheng Hong Ling’s eyes.
“And then? And then I will announce my true identity, and then we can be together legitimately.”
Qi Huang naturally knew her lover’s little thoughts. She affectionately buried her head in Cheng Hong Ling’s neck and sniffed greedily.
“You… aren’t you afraid that people all over the continent will come looking for trouble?”
Cheng Hong Ling’s breathing quickened slightly.
“Who dares? They die as soon as they show their heads!”
Qi Huang said very forcefully.
“You said it yourself!”
A blush gradually spread across Cheng Hong Ling’s pretty face.
“By the way, what about the fragment in your body? Is it still behaving?”
Qi Huang suddenly raised her head and asked.
“It’s fine. I can still suppress it, but this thing is extremely stubborn and I can’t get rid of it!”
Cheng Hong Ling calmed herself and explained.
“That’s good. As long as it doesn’t cause trouble, we’ll find a way sooner or later.”
Qi Huang was slightly relieved.
Late at night, Qi Huang sat upright and with her chest held high in front of the dressing table, her legs elegantly placed together. She held rouge paper and gently pursed it between her cherry-red lips, then placed a hairpin adorned with flowers on her head, looking like a young lady from a wealthy family, completely different from her daytime self.
In fact, it was true. Once night fell and the Letter Relocation Technique entered its cooldown period, she could only be forced to return to being a pure woman. Although her main consciousness remained, her personality underwent a drastic change.
Not long after, Cheng Hong Ling entered the room with a half-smiling expression on her face.
“Husband… What… what do you want to do?”
Qi Huang suddenly stood up from the stool, looking fearful.
“Why such a fuss? You treated me like that during the day, you should be mentally prepared to pay the price!”
Cheng Hong Ling approached menacingly, ready to regain her dignity as a “husband.”
“Spare me, husband! It wasn’t me during the day!”
Qi Huang shivered and retreated into a corner.
“If it wasn’t you, then who was it? If you knew this would happen, why did you do it in the first place?”
Cheng Hong Ling sneered repeatedly and pounced like a phantom.
Qi Huang resignedly closed her beautiful eyes. She could defeat Cheng Hong Ling, but now she was just a pitiful weak woman. How could she be disrespectful to her husband?
In fact, for the past three years, this young couple had been getting along this way. During the day, Qi Huang was more assertive due to her profound cultivation, but at night, she immediately revealed her true nature. At this time, Cheng Hong Ling would seize the opportunity to retaliate. In this way, they took turns.
Qi Ling became the husband.
The next day, Qi Huang was full of vigor again, sitting in the courtyard basking in the sun. There were faint pinkish marks on the fair skin exposed by her collar, but she seemed to feel nothing.
Qi Huang’s spiritual sense could be freely controlled, encompassing the entire Cultivation Continent. At one moment she would look at the Immortal Alliance Main Altar, at another moment at the Hua Rong Sect, and then at her Golden Life Flower tree. After being influenced by Cheng Ling’s thoughts, her spiritual sense fluctuations were completely different from those of cultivators under the Heavenly Dao of the Five Elements, so she was not afraid of being discovered.
Another day passed, and night fell. Qi Huang transformed back into the delicate and “feminized” Qi Huang, but she continued her daytime work.
Suddenly, several figures flying at high speed entered the Yongning Prefecture and headed straight for Huangtian Capital. Although they were all wearing clothes specially made from the fur of the Nine Nether Demonic Cat, their every move could not escape Qi Huang’s keen eyes. The leader was Elder Z, and the old rival Steward Cai was also among them.
“They’re finally here!”
Qi Huang withdrew her spiritual sense and vanished like a ghost from her original spot. In the blink of an eye, she appeared near the group. Although her spiritual sense now had a stealth effect, she still took out the Recording Mirror to collect evidence.
“Master, Qi Huang’s spiritual sense reached the Shentong Realm seven or eight years ago, and Cheng Hong Ling is also a true Shentong Realm expert. With their cultivation speed, can we really handle them?”
Steward Cai showed a look of dread on his face.
“Don’t forget we are wearing specially made clothes. No matter how strong her spiritual sense is, it’s not enough to fear! As for Cheng Hong Ling, she’s all yours.”
Elder Z made arrangements.
“What? Hand her over to me? Master, you think too highly of your disciple!”
Steward Cai said with a crying face.
