Chapter 75: Mu Zhaoxue’s Little Thoughts
“Husband, you’re back.”
Mu Zhaoxue and Ji Zhuyue had already been waiting for a long time.
They were aware that Qin Bei was out there accepting challenges.
They simply watched silently.
“Yeah.”
“Let me introduce you, this is my younger brother, Qin Xuan.”
“Qin Xuan, these are your two sisters-in-law.”
Although it wasn’t their first meeting, they had never been properly introduced.
This was also the reason Qin Bei had brought Qin Xuan to the royal manor for a short stay.
“Hello, sisters-in-law! Brother, both sisters-in-law are so beautiful!” Qin Xuan said, looking up with a smile.
“That’s right! Can’t you see how handsome your brother is? Don’t worry, in the future, I’ll find you even prettier ones!”
“No! Mother said not to learn from you. She said that good looks are useless, and I should find someone strong, preferably a country girl who’s sturdy and easy to give birth to…”
Puff~
Hahaha~
At the same time, Qin Bei, Mu Zhaoxue, and Ji Zhuyue burst into laughter.
“What are you laughing at? I think what mother said is right. Besides, how could there be anyone prettier than my two sisters-in-law? I just don’t believe it~”
“The little guy’s mouth is as sweet as honey.”
Ji Zhuyue pinched Qin Xuan’s chubby little face and said.
It was clear that both women were quite fond of this little boy.
Qin Bei observed and thought to himself.
Indeed, the coldness and arrogance were only for adults.
It’s hard for women to maintain that demeanor in front of adorable children.
…
“Then I’ll find the strongest one for you in the future, the kind that is even more powerful than a divine beast.”
“This is good.”
Qin Bei:…
He really wanted to record this line and show it to Qin Xuan when he later understands what a woman is.
“Your Highness, the servants have prepared a table full of delicious dishes to welcome you.”
Seeing the timing was right, the old steward stepped forward to remind him.
“Okay, let the servants take a rest. You too, steward; no need to keep anyone here.”
“Yes.”
…
At the dining table.
It was filled with an array of delicacies.
The four of them sat together, enjoying the scrumptious meal.
Although they had the ability to fast, Qin Bei had always loved eating in his previous life.
After crossing over, he found there were countless delicious dishes.
So, he completely ignored the idea of fasting.
Moreover, the food they were eating was all spiritual nourishment, beneficial for cultivation.
“Husband, try this, sweet and sour three-tailed carp.”
Mu Zhaoxue presented a dish that looked completely different from the other delicacies on the table.
“This… actually…”
Qin Bei wanted to say that this dish was obviously not made by the servants.
One glance was enough to tell that it was a novice cook’s creation.
But seeing Mu Zhaoxue’s expectant little eyes, he understood.
This must have been made by Mu Zhaoxue.
Thinking of this, even though he knew it would be unappetizing,
Qin Bei still decided to have a taste.
Once it hit his mouth…
It was indeed just as Qin Bei expected.
This was not meant for people to eat!
If he hadn’t known it was made by Mu Zhaoxue, he would have suspected someone was trying to poison him.
“Hmm~~ So… delicious!” Qin Bei said, giving a thumbs up.
“Really?”
The moment Mu Zhaoxue heard this, a smile blossomed on her face.
“Yep, but I’m already full. You guys should be full too! Let’s go for a walk to digest and then rest.”
“I haven’t even tried it yet.” Qin Xuan complained unhappily.
“You’re already fat enough, and you still want to eat! Losing weight!” Qin Bei said as he playfully grabbed Qin Xuan.
But inwardly he was thinking: Brother, this is all for your own good.
…
Qin Bei paid little attention to this little episode.
But as a woman, Ji Zhuyue saw through everything.
Mu Zhaoxue had already developed feelings.
A woman’s intuition is never wrong.
Just like herself—after leaving the secret realm, every time she looked at Qin Bei, she would recall the scenes of their souls merging in the secret realm.
After remembering that moment, she couldn’t help but fantasize about her future with Qin Bei.
So she clearly recognized that she had genuine feelings for him.
Of course, if she didn’t have true feelings, she wouldn’t have chosen Qin Bei to be her companion.
And Mu Zhaoxue, as a saintess, was cold towards others.
Cooking for people?
That was something Mu Zhaoxue would never do.
Yet she had done it.
Perhaps there was something deeper behind it.
She had followed Qin Bei into the secret realm.
But Mu Zhaoxue hadn’t been able to join.
Thus, moved by her feelings, Mu Zhaoxue wanted to do something.
At least to adjust her pace to match his.
And that led her to the thought of cooking.
However, it was clear that this girl’s cooking skills weren’t quite there.
And Qin Bei clearly wasn’t the type to want a virtuous wife who stays home, anyway.
So…
…
The royal manor was large.
Qin Bei hadn’t yet explored every corner.
Since he had eaten well today, he took his wife for a stroll.
Although Qin Xuan was quite young, he understood that this wasn’t the time to be a third wheel.
So he made an excuse about practicing a top divine power and left.
Under the moonlight, the three of them walked.
They chatted along the way, resembling a happy family.
However, Qin Bei, who had been talking non-stop, clearly hadn’t noticed that Mu Zhaoxue seemed troubled.
“Today was quite a lot, and I’m tired. Let’s head back to the room and rest.” Qin Bei said to the two beauties.
“Hmm.”
…
That night, Qin Bei didn’t immediately rest.
Instead, he went to the cultivation room and took out a jade slip.
This jade slip was the reward for him achieving the first saint-level difficulty in history.
Immortal-grade low-level divine ability: “Extinction Gun Technique.”
This technique was Qin Bei’s choice after careful consideration.
Qin Bei had already mapped out his future cultivation path.
Focusing on body refinement first, supplementing with weapon skills.
The spear was the first weapon he chose.
Of course, with a system, he obviously wouldn’t just stick to one weapon.
To put it bluntly, the reason Qin Bei chose weapons was purely for fun.
That’s right, just for fun…
Because of Ji Zhuyue and Mu Zhaoxue.
The techniques of these two were so unique; he didn’t want to waste them.
The reason he didn’t choose the most common weapons like swords and daggers first was entirely due to a saying that stuck in his mind.
“A hint of cold light flickers first, then the spear strikes like a dragon.”
Thinking of such a scene made Qin Bei a bit excited…
Holding the jade slip, Qin Bei tried to read this divine ability.
But unfortunately, the effort was in vain; he could only grasp a superficial understanding.
He couldn’t fully read the divine ability at all.
But Qin Bei wasn’t too surprised.
Looking at the krypton gold points he had left with nothing,
Qin Bei could only get up and leave the cultivation room.
“Let’s wait until I have enough krypton gold points before learning this divine ability,” Qin Bei muttered.
After a long day’s work, he fell asleep.
The next day.
Qin Bei planned to take Qin Xuan to Falling Phoenix Tower early.
Unexpectedly, Qin Xuan was really immersed in comprehending that top heaven-level divine ability.
Qin Bei wasn’t in a rush.
He relaxed and took it easy, not practicing at all over the past few days.
He spent time with Ji Zhuyue and Mu Zhaoxue, deepening their bond.
In those few days,
the news of Prince Bei casually injuring Ye Jianxiu spread like wildfire.
Emperor Xia, upon hearing of this, wasn’t surprised at all.
A person who could break through to the sixth level at saint-level strength wasn’t someone the top fighter in the Cangzhou Continent could compare to.
Even the strongest in the cultivation world might not stand a chance against him.
However, when he heard that Qin Bei had pretended to be defeated and scammed the challenger out of one hundred thousand spirit stones,
Emperor Xia’s hands started to itch. If Qin Bei were here, he would surely give him a good thrashing…
“This ungrateful child! Is he really that short on money?” Emperor Xia couldn’t help but exclaim.
