Chapter 37

Inside Xu Wuzhou's body, at this moment, a hundred streams of blood qi were weaving and forming patterns, which converged into three inscription marks on the palm of his hand.

The three inscription marks vibrated three times, overlapped three times, and then Xu Wuzhou suddenly stood up, grabbing a long sword in his hand.

The inscription marks spread like vines onto the long sword, and in an instant, the sword and Xu Wuzhou became one. Xu Wuzhou fiercely slashed out three times.

The three slashes produced a sonic boom, the sword light erupted, and the force swept across, cutting a white line in the air as if it were torn apart, a sight that was shocking to behold.

After the three slashes, Xu Wuzhou sheathed his sword and stood there, letting the wind blow his clothes.

"The Heaven-Cleaving Technique has reached the minor completion stage."

Xu Wuzhou was somewhat dazed; it was too fast.

In a short time, he had cultivated the Heaven-Cleaving Technique to the minor completion stage.

Although he could only slash three times, it was still the power of a third-grade combat technique.

If Qin Li were here now, he would be shocked speechless.

Cultivating combat techniques is even more difficult than cultivating realms.

What kind of terrifying insight is needed to cultivate the Heaven-Cleaving Technique to the minor completion stage so quickly?

Xu Wuzhou stood there holding the long sword, knowing his own situation. Even with his strong insight, it wasn't that powerful. The reason he could cultivate a third-grade combat technique so quickly was because of the black bowl liquid.

At this moment, Xu Wuzhou felt an increasing reverence for the black bowl. What level of treasure could have such heaven-defying abilities?

Immersed in the black bowl, there were only about four hundred drops of liquid left, meaning that the state of sudden enlightenment just now had consumed more than two hundred drops. This was a significant consumption.

"With the help of the black bowl, in seven days, I should be able to cultivate the Heaven-Cleaving Slash to the major completion stage of the third grade."

Xu Wuzhou muttered, "It seems I need to spend some time forming a circulation of the Eight Extraordinary Meridians."

...

When Xu Wuzhou saw Qin Qingmou again, it wasn't in the bedroom but in the Qin family's library.

At that moment, she was reading a book, sitting there with a graceful figure and a refined and elegant air.

Xu Wuzhou did not disturb her. He found a recliner in the library and lay down lazily, casually picking up a book and covering his face with it, but his mind was immersed in the Eight Extraordinary Meridians.

The Yin-Yang Medical Technique, which regulates yin and yang to treat all diseases, Xu Wuzhou wanted to use the method of yin-yang harmony to form a large circulation in the Eight Extraordinary Meridians.

Qin Qingmou actually knew Xu Wuzhou had entered the moment he came in. Seeing him lying with a book covering his face as usual, she sighed and shook her head, then returned her gaze to the book in her hands, which was a wordless book containing only the "Water Tune: Ode" she had copied.

She sat there for a whole day, and Xu Wuzhou was immersed in cultivation until the silence was broken by the sound of Qin Qingmou getting up. Xu Wuzhou then removed the book from his head.

Seeing Qin Qingmou tidying up the things on the desk, he was about to say something but couldn't find a topic.

His gaze fell on an empty book box next to the recliner, and he casually picked it up.

"Marriage needs a sense of ceremony to maintain the relationship. After we got married, I haven't given you any gifts. Today, I have prepared a gift for you. Open it and see!"

Xu Wuzhou brought the box to Qin Qingmou.

"No need, I..." Before Qin Qingmou could refuse, Xu Wuzhou said, "Actually, I am a very traditional person."

"Huh?"

Qin Qingmou didn't understand why Xu Wuzhou suddenly said this.

Xu Wuzhou, looking at the radiant Qin Qingmou, said to himself, "Although I have indulged in many pleasures, it doesn't hide my traditional heart. I once had fantasies.

I hoped to be intimate with my future wife, to draw her eyebrows in the morning, and for her to cook for me.

I wanted to fulfill my responsibilities as a husband, to protect and pamper her, to live a life as poetic and warm as a poem.

Despite the various reasons for our marriage, I am still willing to strive for the fantasies I once had."

Qin Qingmou was taken aback, never expecting Xu Wuzhou to say such things. Her heart wasn't always cold. Imagining the scene of drawing eyebrows, she felt a bit touched and finally took the box he offered, reaching out to open it to see what the gift was, only to find it empty.

"An empty box?"

Qin Qingmou looked at Xu Wuzhou in confusion.

"How can it be an empty box?"

Xu Wuzhou said, "This is my one-sided wish. Didn't you see it?"

Qin Qingmou wanted to hit Xu Wuzhou with a book, feeling somewhat moved by the scene he had just described.

He was actually teasing her. Did he think this wordplay was funny?

"Hey! You don't think I'm teasing you, do you?

I'm being serious.

Dreams and emotions are invisible things, but just because they are invisible doesn't mean they don't exist.

It's not just girls who have dreams; men have them too. I want to find a gentle and beautiful wife, to think about how to pamper her, to give her the best of everything... Even though we got married for various reasons, I am willing to try to realize my dreams. See, the box is empty because only I am putting in the effort, it's just my one-sided wish."

As Xu Wuzhou spoke, his tone became increasingly low and helpless.

Originally, Qin Qingmou thought he was teasing her, but suddenly she felt a bit sorry for him.

Yes! Xu Wuzhou has always liked her, despite his numerous misdeeds, his feelings for her are genuine.

"Sorry, I..." Qin Qingmou opened her mouth, wanting to say something but couldn't find the words. Perhaps she was truly disappointed in Xu Wuzhou and couldn't bring herself to like him no matter how hard she tried.

"Don't say sorry. If you're willing, we can try to live as a married couple and see if you can accept me."

Xu Wuzhou said.

Qin Qingmou asked blankly, "How do we try?"

"Waking up in the morning and opening my eyes to see you, that would be such a beautiful thing.

Let's start by aligning our lives with those of a married couple, like sleeping and waking up together."

Xu Wuzhou suggested.

"..." Qin Qingmou wanted to strangle Xu Wuzhou. She had felt guilty and moved, but he was just thinking about his dirty thoughts.

"Girls always think about spring, don't you have fantasies about your married life?

Tell me, and I will definitely help you realize your dreams!"

Xu Wuzhou thought, since they were already married, he should at least try to get some benefits.

Qin Qingmou didn't want to continue this topic with Xu Wuzhou and said directly, "The Qin family is facing internal and external troubles. I don't have time to think about other things.

I just want to cultivate Dao Intent as soon as possible to contribute to the Qin family.

If the Qin family falls, it will be even worse than the Zhao family."

Speaking of the Zhao family, Xu Wuzhou recalled a memory.

The Zhao family, one of the six major families in Lin'an City, had its head, Zhao Shen, a先天 realm expert, ranked second only to Qin Li.

However, three years ago, Zhao Shen was injured and lost his strength.

Without the intimidation of a先天 realm expert, numerous forces in Lin'an City attacked the Zhao family, and it disintegrated within days. Zhao Shen could only hide in a dilapidated underground gambling den to survive.

The Zhao family was removed from the list of the six major families in Lin'an City, replaced by the Huang family.

"When the Zhao family fell, the Lin'an government still allowed Zhao Shen and his family to live in the gambling den. But if the Qin family falls, they will want us dead."

Qin Qingmou said to Xu Wuzhou, "So whether I have girl-like thoughts is not important now.

I just want to help my father!"

"Such a small trouble, look how worried you are."

Xu Wuzhou looked at Qin Qingmou and said, "If I help the Qin family solve this problem, can we live a normal married life?"

"If you have the ability to solve it, I will consider it."

Qin Qingmou just wanted to shut Xu Wuzhou up.

"It's a deal!"

Xu Wuzhou's face showed a smile. He was going to rise and wouldn't be a groom who couldn't even enter the bedroom anymore.

At the same time, Xu Wuzhou was thinking about how to solve the Qin family's troubles.

Qin Li wouldn't listen to him, so he needed to find someone Qin Li would be willing to cooperate with, and through this person, realize his ideas.

Zhao Shen, who was injured and lost his strength, could he be used?

His identity was suitable to be his spokesperson.

Ding ding ding! Qin Qingmou said to Xu Wuzhou, "Sorry, I may not be able to be your dream?"

"This dream, I have persisted for over ten years, writing a love poem and drawing a picture for you every day, spending all my energy. Now you tell me you can't be my dream, but... the dream is mine."

Qin Qingmou bit her lip, "Where are your paintings and love poems?"

"They are on my Weixin account. Search for 'Pure and Sharp Brother' or look up my pen name's first letter plus three sixes, and you can see them."

"Okay! I'll go and see.

How many dreams do you have?

I heard the name 'Sword Obsession Chen Jinghong' was a character name someone requested, along with her portrait and... some dirty side stories."

"..." Xu Wuzhou was drenched in sweat. How did she know everything?

...
