Marry the Demon Sect Girl with No Bride Price

"Darling!"

Qiu Zhihe suddenly coughed up blood, and Qin Gengyun hurriedly supported her.

"I just exhausted too much spiritual power, don’t worry, the child is fine."

Qiu Zhihe’s round and delicate face was frighteningly pale. Leaning weakly against Qin Gengyun, she spoke softly.

"You being alright is what’s most important!"

Qin Gengyun placed his hand on her snow-white wrist: "Withdraw your spiritual power, let me take a look."

"Husband..."

Qiu Zhihe softly called out, and Qin Gengyun watched her. Just two hours ago, the heartless and cold Demon Sect Saintess now looked aggrieved and obediently withdrew the spiritual power blocking Qin Gengyun’s investigation.

Qin Gengyun’s spiritual power entered Qiu Zhihe’s body, and moments later, his expression changed:

"Darling, you have multiple ruptured meridians. If not treated in time, there might be lasting consequences! And you said you’re fine?"

Qiu Zhihe held onto his arm, weakly saying, "Husband, I’m sorry."

Qin Gengyun raised his hand to pinch her face, saying helplessly, "Now Susu is also unconscious, unable to use the Mist Spirit Bathing Technique. Darling, your injuries cannot be delayed!"

Qiu Zhihe pondered for a moment, her delicate face blushing as she tiptoed and whispered into Qin Gengyun’s ear.

Qin Gengyun’s eyes widened: "Dual cultivation? But you’re already pregnant!"

Qiu Zhihe quickly covered his mouth, chiding with embarrassment, "There are people beyond the wall!"

The unconscious Liu Su and Celestial Phoenix Maiden were in the next room, being cared for by Wei Wan and Yun Wu.

Qin Gengyun quickly nodded, and only then did Qiu Zhihe release her hand, whispering a few more words into his ear.

Qin Gengyun’s expression fluctuated, looking at her in shock: "This is too much of a grievance for you, we can’t!"

Qiu Zhihe playfully slapped him: "Do you think I want this? You also said my injuries can’t be delayed, and... you are my husband. Now that I’m pregnant, I can’t share a room with you. If I don’t think of a way, what if you’re bewitched by other women?"

Qin Gengyun laughed, "Darling, you’re the Demon Sect Saintess, how can you be so jealous?"

Qiu Zhihe was taken aback, her eyes shimmering with tenderness and shyness, yet tinged with fierceness:

"Hmph, knowing my identity, I can’t let you remain!"

Qin Gengyun spread his arms: "Very well, I am willing to die at your hands."

"You!" Qiu Zhihe playfully hit him, "I’m just joking, stop saying such inauspicious things!"

Qin Gengyun looked down at her, smiling as he asked: "So now, should I call you Zhihe or Cyan Lotus?"

Qiu Zhihe looked up at him, smiling radiantly: "Zhihe is your wife, and so is Cyan Lotus. Call me whatever you like."

Suddenly, Qin Gengyun lowered his head, and Qiu Zhihe’s beautiful eyes widened for a moment before she closed them, her small hands encircling his waist.

Moments later, the two grew ever closer, and Qiu Zhihe gently pushed Qin Gengyun away:

"Husband, West Imperial City is unsafe. Let’s leave here first."

Qin Gengyun nodded: "You’re right, darling. Susu and Huang are still not awake, let’s go check on them first."

"Mhm."

Qiu Zhihe nodded obediently, taking Qin Gengyun’s arm and leaning against him as they walked out together.

"Darling."

Qin Gengyun looked down at her suddenly saying: "I feel like you’ve changed a bit?"

"How have I changed?"

Standing in the courtyard, Qin Gengyun looked up at the stars before looking down at the sweet-smiling Qiu Zhihe, saying with a smile:

"The old you always had a certain sharpness, but now it’s gone, and you’re more like an ordinary little lady."

"Really?" Qiu Zhihe tilted her head in confusion, looking somewhat adorable.

Qin Gengyun laughed: "You used to be burdened with too many things in your heart. Today, you’ve killed most of your enemies, and much of that burden has lifted."

"Now that we have a child on the way, your heart has grown softer."

"And, you’ve kept your identity hidden for so long, but now I’ve uncovered it."

"All the things weighing on your heart are gone."

"Maybe now, you’re becoming more of your true self?"

Listening to Qin Gengyun’s words, Qiu Zhihe’s expression shifted, finally settling into a serene smile.

"I never thought so deeply. I only know that since meeting you, I’ve started to change."

The two exchanged smiles and entered the next room, pushing the door open.

Inside, Yun Wu and Wei Wan were sitting by the bedside, where the unconscious Liu Su and Celestial Phoenix Maiden lay side by side.

Seeing them enter, Wei Wan stood up: "They’ve already taken the Ice Crystal Fire-Extinguishing Pill, so there’s no major issue. It’s just the over-depletion of spiritual power, and they’ll wake up in two or three days."

Qin Gengyun nodded: "Thank you for your hard work today."

Before Wei Wan could speak, Yun Wu had already rushed over to Qiu Zhihe:

"Sister Qiu, you’re pregnant, you mustn’t do that with Brother Qin!"

Qiu Zhihe was taken aback, her cheeks turning bright red as she glared fiercely at him.

Qin Gengyun was also stunned, clearly realizing that his voice was too loud next door, allowing this side to catch bits and pieces.

Yun Wu’s pure nature was genuinely out of concern for Qiu Zhihe.

But saying such words in front of several people was a bit awkward.

Wei Wan’s face also turned red as she hurried up to pull Yun Wu away: "Xiaowu, this is a matter beyond your understanding!"

Yun Wu widened her eyes, speaking earnestly: "My mother told me that when she was pregnant with me, she kicked my father out of the bedroom. She said if I ever get married and pregnant, I must never indulge, or the child would be at risk!"

"Sister Qiu, Brother Qin, just bear with it a little, after Sister Qiu gives birth, it’ll be okay to resume intimacy... mmm mmm mmm!"

Yun Wu’s words were quickly cut off as Wei Wan dragged her away.

Pausing at the door, Wei Wan turned back: "Xiaowu actually makes sense, you two... please reconsider."

Her cheeks burning, she said this before dragging Yun Wu out of the room.

"Darling..."

Qin Gengyun, looking dumbfounded, turned his head slowly, to find Qiu Zhihe glaring at him icily.

"Ouch! Darling, my fault, I spoke too loudly, don’t be angry, mind the child!"

Soon, Mo Xiaolan, Fang Xue, Jian Yue, Zhou Ling’Er, Xu Caihe, and others from the Cyan Lotus Sect also returned together.

Liu Xiaotang saw Qin Gengyun and asked in surprise: "Uncle Qin, what happened to your face?"

Mo Xiaolan stepped forward, taking out medicine from her bosom: "Did you encounter enemies on your way back?"

Qin Gengyun glanced at Qiu Zhihe beside him, whose gaze was icy, not daring to let Mo Xiaolan apply the medicine. He hurriedly took the bottle himself:

"Haha, no, I just took a fall."

Fang Xue was puzzled: "Uncle Qin, you’re so sturdy, how could you hurt yourself by falling?"

Mo Xiaolan continued to press: "What’s really going on? With so many of us, we could solve it together."

Jian Yue giggled as she walked over: "I suddenly feel like taking a bath. Xiaoxue’Er, Xiao Lanlan, let’s bathe together!"

She pulled the two away without further ado, winking at Qiu Zhihe over her shoulder:

"Madam, remember to reward your humble servant later!"

Xue Wu also caught on, swiftly leading the Cyan Lotus Sect crowd away, while Xue Wen, seeing the injury on Qin Gengyun’s face, burst into joy, bidding farewell to Qiu Zhihe:

"Saintess, well done! Hit harder next time, hahaha!"

"Darling..."

Qin Gengyun, feeling awkward, asked Qiu Zhihe: "Feeling better now?"

Looking towards the bathroom where Jian Yue, Mo Xiaolan, and Fang Xue had just entered, Qiu Zhihe suddenly spoke:

"Ye Xiyue’s Immortal Body and Demon Embryo are going to separate."
