Chapter 64: Jiujiu’s possessiveness over the main-wife position… nobody is allowed to touch the villain

“Hmph~”

Qin Jiujiu puckered her lips and asked in confusion, “Why did you stop me just now and keep me from confronting her?”

“That woman… I didn’t even want to get involved with her,” Ning Bei shook his head with a smile and said, “If you pay her any mind, won’t you just give her presence?”

“Then I still have to go and stake my claim!”

Qin Jiujiu bit her lower lip.

As she spoke, a shy glimmer flashed in her beautiful eyes, yet her resolve shone through even more.

Ning Bei laughed when he heard this, “What claim?”

“Emm… you are mine now,” Qin Jiujiu blushed but spoke firmly, “Naturally that means the right to use you… and you are not allowed to stop me next time.”

“Ha-ha.”

Ning Bei burst into hearty laughter.

Looking at the girl’s shy yet irrefutable expression, a warm current surged through his chest.

Such a stunning beauty, the more he looked the more he liked her.

He had really picked up a treasure.

Qin Jiujiu felt embarrassed under his gaze and said, “Stop laughing… did you hear me?”

“I heard you, I heard you,” Ning Bei replied with a grin, pulling her into his arms and stroking her small hand, “but there is one line I want to correct.”

“Which line?”

“Is it that I belong to you, or that you belong to me?”

“Uh?”

Qin Jiujiu fluttered her long lashes, shyly drew back her jade hand, and said, “Is there any difference?”

“Of course there is,” Ning Bei took her hand again and said solemnly, “We need an order of precedence… after all, I am still a man!”

Qin Jiujiu locked eyes with Ning Bei; after a moment she suddenly withdrew her jade hand, wrapped her arms around his neck, and blushed, saying, “You are my lord… and I am yours.”

“Ha~”

Ning Bei laughed happily.

With such a gentle, considerate beauty who even had the background of a reincarnated Great Emperor, what more could a man ask for?

He clasped her fingers again, intertwining them.

“Ning Bei… you really like holding hands,” Qin Jiujiu said blissfully.

“Touching anything else would violate the rules.”

….

Inside the tournament arena.

Figures from every faction gradually gathered, and the clamour filled the ears.

Although the tournament had not concluded smoothly and ended early, the banquet still had to proceed as usual.

In previous years, all the forces would pull out every trick to recruit the geniuses who had performed well in the tournament.

Even heavyweight figures such as Emperor Yu Wuying and Prince Yu Fei would attend the celebration.

The spacious arena naturally became the first choice for the banquet.

Yet this year’s banquet differed somewhat from those of the past.

For instance, Prince Kui An, who had always remained neutral, now sat in the Prince’s estate’s section.

Xu Yunyang, the Grand Preceptor of Qitian Academy, not only avoided imprisonment for the tournament incident but also sat beside Yu Wuying.

One could say that the covert rivalry among the various forces, once an undercurrent, had now been brought squarely into the open.

Since everyone already knew who belonged to whom, there was no need to hide anymore.

“Your Majesty, that beast over there is Qin Yu.”

Xu Yunyang looked in one direction and spoke through gritted teeth.

The figure reflected in his eyes was indeed the cowering Qin Yu; at this moment he wanted nothing more than to rush over and kill him.

The day Qin Yu ruined him was bad enough, but now the boy had colluded with the Prince’s estate to threaten Kui An and help the Prince’s estate poach him.

One must know that for years Kui An had stayed neutral, even the royal family could do nothing about him.

Qin Yu… had undoubtedly created a formidable enemy for the throne!

“That boy must not be allowed to live!”

Yu Wuying said coldly.

He was filled with anger toward Qin Yu as well; ever since the boy appeared, the royal family’s original advantage seemed to have vanished.

“Rest assured, Your Majesty, I have already instructed Qitian Academy,” a flash of killing intent crossed Xu Yunyang’s eyes.

On the other side.

“What is going on?”

Qin Yu kept feeling something was off.

He was clearly only a part-time disciple and had even been stripped of his chief title, yet ever since he entered the venue cold sweat kept breaking out down his back.

Especially the experts of Qitian Academy… the way they looked at him…

The desire to stab a man could not be hidden in their eyes!

At this moment, Ning Bei surveyed the surroundings, then turned to Wuyue and asked, “Old man, this atmosphere feels stifling; how long can we stay neutral?”

“We will take one step at a time.”

Wuyue merely chuckled.

As the Grand Preceptor of an academy, his information was naturally broader, and he sensed that the power struggle would soon hit a boiling point.

The next moment Wuyue looked at Ning Bei and said, “Brat, both Great Yu Academy and Qitian Academy will be recruiting today; which one do you want to join?”

“Hm?” Ning Bei froze for a second and then joked, “Either is fine; it depends on where you want me to go, old man.”

“Tch!” Wuyue snorted and said darkly, “Brat, you promised this old man you wouldn’t leave Heavenly Martial Academy, so don’t disappoint me.”

“Then why did you ask which one I’d choose?”

“You… ”

Wuyue tugged his beard in anger, then laughed and said, “I’m not worried about you, but you’d better keep an eye on your little wife… those other two academies will give her top priority.”

Although Qin Jiujiu had not shown much strength in the tournament, Great Yu Academy and Qitian Academy must have done their homework.

With her strength, she was a top-tier talent even among the three academies.

Who wouldn’t want to recruit such a prodigy?

Ning Bei merely smiled at this, “The husband’s word is law; she listens to me.”

“…..”

Seeing Ning Bei’s smug expression, Wuyue could only shake his head with a wry smile.

Elsewhere.

Qin Yu was busy arranging tables when a jade-like hand suddenly startled him.

“Mother?”

Recognizing the newcomer, Qin Yu’s face lit up, “Mother, you’re all right? That’s great.”

“…Stop worrying; since I could come and find you, I’m fine.”

Yuan Yuan forced out a smile and said, “Yu’er, let’s find somewhere to talk; this place isn’t convenient.”

“Okay, okay.”

Qin Yu quickly set aside his work and led his mother away from the crowd.

They came to a corner by the wall.

Qin Yu said in self-reproach, “I’m sorry, Mother, you were taken away by Kui An because of me… it’s all my fault for not being strong enough to protect you.”

“Yu’er, don’t say that,” Yuan Yuan said with a complicated expression, “mainly… you really shouldn’t have betrayed your godfather.”

“I didn’t…”

Qin Yu stopped halfway through the sentence and dropped the subject.

At this point any explanation was useless, and there was no way to undo things.

The next moment he asked in surprise, “By the way, Mother, how were you able to come see me… why would Kui An agree?”

“Because I…”

Yuan Yuan suddenly grew nervous; she touched her lower abdomen in embarrassment, then smiled and asked, “Yu’er, would you like a little brother?”

Qin Yu: “???”
