Chapter 73: The villain and his younger sister basked in flirtatious bliss, while the protagonist and his mother lost everything.

Get lost!

Qin Yu immediately cursed out loud.

He was no fool, so how could he fail to see the other man’s intentions?

They were clearly targeting his mother.

If he could beat them, he would have swung his fists already.

Who did they think he was?

“Tch,” the disciple scoffed, “So you can discuss figures with Senior Brother Ning, but the moment us ordinary disciples come over you tell us to scram?”

“Scram… damn it, get out of my sight!”

Qin Yu was instantly left speechless.

“Fine, fine, when Senior Brother Ning leaves the academy and we become chief disciples, don’t come begging to talk to us.”

As he left, that disciple still tossed out a threat.

“Damn it!”

At that moment Qin Yu felt his mental state collapsing.

He even began to suspect that Ning Bei had not saved him at all but had instead dug an even deeper pit for him.

How had it come to this?

It had obviously been a flawless plan to kill Ning Bei’s parents, so why had it ended with Kui An dead and himself as the prime suspect?

Some people even thought… he would sell his own mother to climb the ladder?

This was utterly intolerable!

On the other side.

Ning Bei had reached the second floor and stepped into a room shrouded by a barrier.

Seeing the girl trying to sit up despite the pain, he hurried forward and said, “Don’t get up, lie down and recuperate.”

“Hmph~”

Qin Jiujiu lifted her delicate face, bit her lip in grievance, and said, “You’re not allowed to crack melon seeds anymore.”

“Hmm? I can’t even eat melon seeds?”

“You…”

Faced with Ning Bei’s feigned ignorance, Qin Jiujiu blushed and said, “Meanie~ all you do is bully me.”

“Haha.”

Ning Bei sat on the edge of the bed with a smile, flicked her delicate nose dotingly, and said, “If I don’t tease my little Jiujiu, should I go tease someone else?”

“Mm?” Qin Jiujiu froze for a second, then snuggled into Ning Bei’s arms and said, “Then keep bullying me~”

“Hey~ you’re the one who said it.”

A faint curve lifted Ning Bei’s lips as he gazed at her pure yet seductive face, sighing more the longer he looked, “No, you really don’t look like it at all.”

“Don’t look like what?”

“You don’t look like a reincarnated Great Emperor,” Ning Bei said with a smile, “You look more like an innocent girl who has never been touched and is easily coaxed.”

“In this world, only you could fool me.”

Qin Jiujiu pouted and said, “Hmph, when I suffered qi deviation back then… you clearly wanted to… yet you insisted I beg you first.”

“Eh?”

Ning Bei froze for a moment.

Then an embarrassed look appeared on his handsome face as he said, “You could even see through that?”

“Do you take me for a naive fool?”

“Ha~”

Ning Bei gave an awkward yet polite smile.

As expected, he had still underestimated her.

What he thought was total control was merely her willing cooperation.

Even so, he remained unfazed and said, “Since you saw through me, I won’t pretend anymore. All right, little Jiujiu, you knew I had a fiancée and still sensed my ulterior motives, yet you cooperated. Tell me, when did you start craving my body?”

“Uh?”

Qin Jiujiu froze.

Her mouth fell open in shock; she had never expected that after exposing Ning Bei, he would not retreat but instead slap back.

“Aiya~ I was in qi deviation back then!” Qin Jiujiu’s face flushed. “Obviously it was you… you only know how to bully me.”

“Then let’s never bring up the past again, all right?” Ning Bei said with a shake of his head and a smile.

“No, be serious, I have a very solemn question.”

“Oh? What is it?”

“Umm…”

Staring at Ning Bei’s suddenly grave expression, Qin Jiujiu paused and asked, “You’re so bad… how did you manage not to touch her back then?”

That “her” referred to Lin Yueyao.

“What, you think I lied when I said I never touched her?”

“Yup~”

“Fine, you dare to doubt your husband.”

The next moment Ning Bei pulled out a handful of melon seeds.

Qin Jiujiu immediately caved in: “I was wrong, I was wrong~”

A short while later.

Qin Jiujiu produced a manual and said, “Here, you have already mastered the Divine Sun Art, so cultivate this from now on.”

“The Great Thousand Thunder Mantra?”

“Although the Great Thousand Thunder Mantra is not higher level than the Divine Sun Art, it is a rare lightning technique, and its strength lies in being triggered by yang energy.”

Qin Jiujiu explained, “Using the yang energy in your body as a foundation, you can summon divine lightning to strike the enemy; its power can shatter mountains and rivers in a single blow, annihilate all things, or even create a domain of thunder.”

“That strong?”

Ning Bei’s eyes lit up, then he looked at the little beauty before him and asked, “Did you pick this technique specially for me based on my situation?”

“Yes~”

Qin Jiujiu nodded with a sweet smile.

At that moment, the whole world seemed brighter.

Since her body and heart already belonged to Ning Bei, nothing was more important to her than his path of cultivation.

One could say that if she could give Ning Bei 10 parts, she would not keep even a fraction for herself.

Warmth flooded Ning Bei’s heart as he cupped the girl’s face and planted a big kiss.

“With a wife like you, what more could a man ask for!”

“Keke~” Qin Jiujiu trembled with laughter at the kiss and said a little proudly, “Then stop calling me little wife, call me big wife.”

“All right, big wife.”

“Giggle~”

And so.

After playing around, the two of them began to cultivate.

Although their current mid-Nascent Soul cultivation already surpassed most Elders in Heavenly Martial Academy and was enough to amaze the world.

They both understood that cultivation could not be neglected.

Even though Ning Bei currently lacked enough Revenge Points to exchange for “sliced bread” and experience that rush of mastering a technique instantly.

He still enjoyed taking each step steadily.

…

Two days later.

Qin Yu was still grieving in his room; he simply could not understand how a perfect plan had gone so terribly wrong.

At that moment someone suddenly thumped on the window.

When he opened it in surprise, he saw the figure he had been longing for day and night. “Mother?”

Very quickly, Qin Yu passed through the barrier and led his mother into the room.

“Yu’er, how exactly did your godfather die?”

As soon as she arrived, Yuan Yuan could not help asking.

No one could imagine the interrogations she had endured since Kui An was killed, being his closest relative.

“Mother, I don’t know either!”

Talking about it almost made Qin Yu cry. “Mother, you have to believe me… godfather went to handle that matter for me, why would I want him dead?”

“I just wanted to be sure; I know you wouldn’t do something like that,” Yuan Yuan sighed. “But now that Kui An is dead, the two of us have lost our protector, and the Prince’s Estate will never let us go.”

……

Qin Yu hung his head in despair.

For the past two days he had been wondering who had killed Kui An and had even suspected Ning Bei, since Kui An had gone to kill Ning Bei’s parents.

Yet the moment the thought surfaced, he denied it himself.

Leaving aside whether Ning Bei could beat Kui An, the timing alone made it impossible!

Ning Bei could not see the future, either.

“Right, Mother,” Qin Yu suddenly thought of something, “the Prince’s Estate must have locked you up; how did you escape?”

“I…” Yuan Yuan hesitated, her face troubled. “How else could I have escaped?”

Qin Yu: “???”
