Chapter 0 | The Good Name
“I did say that I would go to any lengths to improve my cultivation now… but that’s when dealing with enemies.”
“Master’s words are a little strange.”
As she spoke, Ye Qishuang, her pretty face flushed, walked from the couch to Qin Gou. “Is there something you’re worried about? Are you afraid that with my Heart Monkey Qitian Body’s Blessing, another Qishuang will discover it and become jealous? Don’t you know that right now… who is the one most jealous?”
“Ah?” In fact, Qin Gou hadn’t had time to think much about it, but now he suddenly understood… Qishuang was jealous of Qishuang.
“I wonder, has she formally become Dao Companions with you?”
“Not yet, but…”
“But I am!” Ye Qishuang’s eyes were complex and aggrieved. “This is too strange. Master can readily accept someone who hasn’t formally married, yet hesitates when it comes to Dual Cultivation with his wife who is to marry him and wait for him alone?!”
“Qishuang, please don’t say that… If you put it that way, I, your Master, truly deserve to be dragged out to the Meridian Gate and beheaded!” Qin Gou wanted to cry but had no tears. He had only been in the Western Heaven Realm for a day or two, how could he have committed such a great sin so carelessly?
“Besides, I didn’t outright refuse, I just needed these few days…”
“So, it’s Qishuang who is overthinking, misunderstanding, and wrongly accusing Master?” Qishuang Wench was stunned for a moment, and her eyes lit up. “Master, please see clearly, Qishuang is not referring to today!”
“Oh?”
“I’ve already decided to wait until Master formally enters the Mortal transformation stage. I’m telling you in advance now.”
“You want to… personally send me off to the afterlife?!” Qin Gou’s twin pupils shook violently, finding it unbelievable.
Ye Qishuang said methodically, “Because this way, the Dual Cultivation blessing of the Heart Monkey Qitian Body can also become a great help in breaking through the Realm Lord Realm!”
“But…”
Was Xiao Shuang’er really not joking?
Or was this girl intentionally trying to cause trouble?
That was facing a demigod of the Realm Lord Realm with the body of a mortal!
Qin Gou himself didn’t have any special constitutions related to Dual Cultivation. This could truly be life-threatening!
“In that case, I won’t dare to disturb Master any longer.” Qishuang Wench seemed to have received a satisfactory answer.
Qin Gou felt his mind in a mess. He nodded slightly. He thought Ye Qishuang was going to leave and return to her room, but when he looked up again, he saw that the girl was still standing there, her pair of watery, captivating beautiful eyes seemingly expecting something.
“What is Qishuang waiting for?” Qin Gou asked, confused.
“Has Master forgotten?” Ye Qishuang pursed her lips and smiled. “A’yuan seemed to write me a letter, and you said you’d give it to me earlier, but it was delayed by Mo Qingyang’s matter.”
“Indeed.”
Qin Gou got up from the bed, took out a Jade Slip from his Nas Ring, and handed it to Ye Qishuang.
Unexpectedly, Ye Qishuang didn’t take the letter immediately. Instead, she stepped forward and met the standing Qin Gou, opening her small hands with a sweet smile.
“What?!”
A fragrant scent wafted over. Qin Gou felt a quick light kiss. Just as he was about to react, Ye Qishuang kissed him again, a long and deep kiss. Her curvaceous petite body leaned completely into Qin Gou’s embrace. Qin Gou, who had just stood up, consequently fell back onto the bed with her.
Ye Qishuang, a woman who could still forcefully kiss him even after changing worlds, was terrifying.
At this moment, with the soft warmth of her body in his arms, pressed tightly against him, Qin Gou found his hands unable to move. One reason was that it wasn’t like other places on this bed; pushing too much could easily lead to other actions. More crucially, he was wearing the so-called ‘Celestial Master’s Love’ ring.
For various reasons, this thing not only couldn’t restrain the great Palace Lord Ye but, once activated, was no different from him acting like a hooligan.
Qin Gou suddenly realized that this ring might have been meticulously planned by his old pal, specifically to create an advantage for Qishuang and counteract him!
A moment later, Ye Qishuang lightly pursed her red lips and slowly sat up, her little face flushed.
Qin Gou’s breathing was also noticeably rapid, but he couldn’t help but hurriedly blurt out his confusion: “Qishuang, aren’t you supposed to follow the rules? Didn’t we just agree that it would be after Master’s Mortal transformation stage?”
“No.”
For a moment, Ye Qishuang actively sat to the side, her pretty face full of innocent feigned ignorance. “What I just did was because Fourth Junior Sister said before that if there’s a letter, I can kiss! Even Eldest Senior Brother didn’t… How can Qishuang be an exception?”
“Stop playing dumb!”
Seeing her innocent and harmless appearance, like a little lamb, Qin Gou felt completely bewildered, saying with a mixture of amusement and exasperation: “Didn’t I explain later that it was to help you Eldest Senior Brother break a Spirit Charm, and it was done out of necessity! The reason Eldest Senior Brother agreed was that A’yuan’s letter explained it, but you, this girl… you definitely don’t have a Spirit Charm, and naturally, there’s no such thing in A’yuan’s letter!”
“How do you know there isn’t? I’m about to read this letter.”
With that, Ye Qishuang quickly picked up the Jade Slip again and formally opened it.
However, as Ye Qishuang read, joy filled her clear eyes, and her smile became more and more gentle and moving. Qin Gou, on the other hand, felt inexplicably guilty.
If the matter of Zhao Xinting’s Fate-Changing Soul could still be excused, then Qiu Qianyue’s ‘doing as she pleased’ last time served as a precedent… Could A’yuan really have set a huge trap for her own father?
Not long after, Ye Qishuang finally read the letter word by word. Her fair and beautiful face was filled with relief and emotion. After all, A’yuan was actually raised by her, Qin Gou, and Little Chair together. A’yuan had always called her ‘godmother,’ and the mother-daughter affection between them was genuine.
“How is it? What did the letter say?” Seeing Xiao Shuang’er remain silent, Qin Gou couldn’t help but ask.
Ye Qishuang carefully and protectively closed the Jade Slip, then shyly and somewhat embarrassed said, “It really didn’t. The letter truly didn’t mention anything about asking Master for a kiss.”
“What did I say?!” Qin Gou was instantly relieved. So, he had ultimately misunderstood A’yuan. What a good girl she was. As her father, he couldn’t always think of his child as mischievous, right?
“Then Master, what do you think of the name ‘Qin Shengxue’? Does it sound like a very fair-skinned young girl?” Ye Qishuang suddenly changed the subject and asked.
“Who is that? Qishuang Shengxue… Why is the name so similar to yours, Qishuang?” Qin Gou asked, full of confusion.
Xiao Shuang’er smiled brightly, excitedly saying, “In that letter, A’yuan helped Qishuang think of many, many names for her younger brother or sister!”
