Chapter 10

Marrying a wife as beautiful as a celestial fairy, on the night of their wedding, Xiao Che could not touch or even approach her, let alone share the bed. He could only sit hugging his knees, leaning against the wall, crouched in the corner...

Xiao Che truly felt the malevolence of this world.

The red candles flickered, casting an ambiguous light over the bridal chamber. The room fell into a long silence, with both of them dressed in grand red attire. One sat coldly and calmly by the bed, while the other pitifully crouched in the corner, only able to faintly hear his own breathing.

After a long while, Xiao Che finally couldn't hold back and said, "You won't... really make me spend the night here, will you?"

Xia Qingyue's long lashes fluttered, and her graceful body slightly turned as she lay down on the bed. The red bed curtains fell, leaving Xiao Che to see only a vague silhouette in the candlelight. Immediately, Xia Qingyue waved her hand, and the two red candles were extinguished by a cold breeze, leaving Xiao Che unable to see even a shadow.

"..." If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't possibly fight this woman, he would have forced himself on her, given her cold and proud demeanor.

"I was just joking earlier. I didn't even drink a drop of alcohol all afternoon... You can't even take a joke, it's really a lack of fun." Xiao Che grumbled with a face full of resentment.

"I know you didn't drink." Xia Qingyue finally spoke, "But I find men who urinate and defecate anywhere disgusting."

Urinate and defecate... anywhere?

Could it be... the sound of water when he expelled the alcohol from the Heavenly Poison Pearl?

Damn!!

Xiao Che's eyes widened, and he immediately exploded, "You say I urinated and defecated anywhere? Which eye did you see me do that! What you heard was the sound of me pouring the alcohol! Pouring the alcohol... pouring the alcohol! I, a seven-foot-tall man of the Xiao family, would never do such an uncultured and unrefined thing! You can look down on my spiritual power, but you can't insult my noble character and dignity!!"

After a short while, Xiao Che heard Xia Qingyue's leisurely voice, "I was just joking."

"!@#￥%…" Xiao Che almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

Xiao Che sat back in the corner, silent for a long time... This woman actually knew how to joke!

Usually, he could sleep comfortably in bed, but on the wedding night, he could only sleep in the corner... It was impossible to fall asleep! After a long while, Xiao Che finally spoke again, "By the way, when are you going back to the Ice Cloud Immortal Palace? Tomorrow, or the day after?"

Xia Qingyue: "!?"

Xiao Che smiled and said calmly, "Although I know little about the Ice Cloud Immortal Palace, I at least know that it only accepts women and forbids emotions and desires. The Ice Cloud Immortal Palace has countless beauties, but I've never heard of any of them getting married. Yet, you married me. It seems that even in the Ice Cloud Immortal Palace, your talent is still astonishing, perhaps even a once-in-a-century genius. Otherwise, the Ice Cloud Immortal Palace wouldn't have broken this precedent for you."

Xia Qingyue: "..."

Xiao Che tilted his head, looking at the darkness above, and continued, "With such talent, the Ice Cloud Immortal Palace will surely want you to enter as soon as possible. There, you will encounter world-class experts that ordinary spiritual practitioners can hardly ever see, and countless heavenly treasures. Under these conditions, your spiritual power and status will soar in a short time. You should be leaving soon, right?"

Xia Qingyue remained silent for a long time before her voice became hazy, "One month."

"One month?" Xiao Che's face showed surprise, then he smiled slightly, lowered his head, and whispered, "Thank you."

Xia Qingyue: "?"

"This month must be something you fought for me, right? If it were the Ice Cloud Immortal Palace, they wouldn't want you to waste so much time on me, a useless person. You are a daughter of heaven, and from how much the Ice Cloud Immortal Palace values you, your future achievements might even reach the level of the palace master. Others mock me and look down on me, but you, who will surely look down on the Cangfeng Empire, not only married me but also tried to maintain my ridiculous dignity as a man... Although I know you did this to repay my deceased father, I still thank you."

"Unnecessary." Xia Qingyue answered without emotion. However, she was slightly moved inside because his guesses were spot on. Her master had told her that her talent was a once-in-a-century occurrence even in the Ice Cloud Immortal Palace. She had even said that after bringing her to the Ice Cloud Immortal Palace, she was confident that she could break through to the Spirit Profound Realm by the age of twenty and reach the Earth Profound Realm... a realm that even the first expert of Liuyun City, Xiao Lie, had not achieved.

Reaching the Earth Profound Realm before the age of twenty... For the people of Liuyun City, it was a fairy tale they dared not even imagine.

"Before marrying you, I thought you would look down on me like most people, but in fact, you are much better than I imagined. Not only are you beautiful and talented, but your character is also kind. As a woman, you are truly perfect..."

Xia Qingyue: "..."

"Right, since you are so kind, you wouldn't want to see your husband sleep in the corner on the wedding night, right? My bed is quite large, and two people wouldn't be crowded..."

Before Xiao Che could finish speaking, a cold and murderous aura enveloped him, making him shiver: "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll throw you out!"

Xiao Che twisted his mouth and obediently shut up, his buttocks that had just lifted falling back down reluctantly.

"Someone is coming." Xia Qingyue suddenly said.

After a long while, Xiao Che heard extremely faint footsteps. If he hadn't been listening with all his might, he would never have noticed them. The person first paused at the gate, then cautiously approached, stopping in the middle of the yard without moving forward... Because there was a Xia Qingyue in the room whom he dared not provoke, he cautiously looked around for a long time before leaving.

It was already late at night, but Xiao Yulong had not gone to sleep. He looked out the window with a heavy heart, his expression changing frequently.

At this moment, the door opened, and Xiao Yang hurriedly walked in. Xiao Yulong turned and asked with a slanted gaze, "How is it?"

"..." Xiao Yang glanced at Xiao Yulong's face and cautiously said, "I just went to check, and it seems Xiao Che... hasn't been locked outside."

"..." Xiao Yulong's face immediately darkened.

Xiao Yang's heart skipped a beat and quickly said, "But don't worry, brother. Xia Qingyue has always looked down on the young masters of the City Lord's residence and the Yuwen family, so she couldn't possibly be interested in Xiao Che, that useless person. If he hasn't been kicked out, it's probably because she pities him and doesn't want him to be ridiculed... Although he is in the same room as Xia Qingyue, he definitely isn't on the same bed. He might even be lying on the ground... It must be like that."

Xiao Yulong's face was dark and unpredictable. He looked in the direction of Xiao Che's courtyard, his hands clenched: "Xia Qingyue is the woman I want, and no one can touch her!! Tomorrow, get Xiao Che to meet me, and I will personally test him! I absolutely cannot let him touch Xia Qingyue!!"

"Yes!" Xiao Yang quickly responded.

Xiao Che crouched in the corner for most of the night, still wide awake. He opened his eyes, raised his left hand, and looked at his palm. In the darkness, the faint green glow from the Heavenly Poison Pearl was particularly noticeable.

In the Cangyun Continent, with the power of the Heavenly Poison Pearl, he single-handedly stirred up the world, causing the entire Cangyun Continent to be in turmoil... but it also almost drained all his poison power!

Now that the Heavenly Poison Pearl had merged with his body, he could hardly feel any poison power from it, which had become a part of his body. In the chase that forced him to his death, he used the poison power of the Heavenly Poison Pearl to kill many world-class experts, but also overdrawn the power of the Heavenly Poison Pearl, leaving it drained... Overdrawing and using up are different concepts. Using up can be slowly restored, but overdrawing means the source of power is almost exhausted, and it might not be possible to restore it.

Now, the Heavenly Poison Pearl basically only has the ability to detoxify, refine, and merge... of course, it can also store items.

With his spiritual veins crippled and the poison power of the Heavenly Poison Pearl also crippled, and being in a small city that no one cared about, Xiao Che felt a deep sense of confusion after a long period of silence... In such a state, he couldn't even protect his grandfather and aunt, let alone avoid being ridiculed...

What was even more unbearable... was that he didn't even have the ability to force himself on the wife he had married!

To have enough strength, the most basic step should be to repair his damaged spiritual veins.

Repairing spiritual veins...

Xia Qingyue was very sure that his spiritual veins could not be restored to the same as ordinary people. But for him, this was not an impossible task, because he was the successor of the Medical Sage! His master had told him more than once that the principles of medicine are like the law of cause and effect: there must be a result for every cause, and there must be a cure for every illness. In this world, there is no incurable disease, only doctors who lack the ability.

How to repair his crippled spiritual veins, Xiao Che had been thinking about it all day. His spiritual veins were not damaged after growing up but were damaged at birth, completely crippled and impossible to repair with conventional methods. To repair them, he would first need to purify the existing damaged spiritual veins and make them grow again, a process similar to discarding the current damaged spiritual veins and regenerating a complete set. Regardless of the difficulty, the risk was extremely high, as the spiritual veins are connected to the life force, and any mistake in the process could lead to immediate death.

To discard the old veins and regenerate new ones, at least three things were needed...

"Wife, are you asleep?" Xiao Che asked.

After a long while, there was no response.

"Cough, wife, are you really asleep?" Xiao Che asked again.

"My name is Xia Qingyue!" Xia Qingyue's voice was gentle but cold.

"I know your name is Xia Qingyue." Xiao Che scratched his brow, puzzled, and said, "Wife, I have something I want to ask you."

"Call me Xia Qingyue!" Xia Qingyue was angry.

"Okay, okay!" Xiao Che nodded and then asked seriously, "Wife, if you go to the Ice Cloud Immortal Palace, can you get the Seven Profound Lustrous Grass, the Purple Vein Heavenly Crystal, and the Earth Profound Realm spiritual beast's spiritual core?"
