Chapter 1510 - 570: Wife Gets Jealous
"He" is none other than the team leader of the Huangquan Team, Ye Lingyue.
On this day, Ye Lingyue was once again going around various inconspicuous corners of Qiyu City, selling demon beast meat. The amount sold wasn’t large, but not small either. At the end of the day, Ye Lingyue did the math and counted up roughly four hundred merit points.
This amount is much more than before.
And moreover, it’s fair trade without stealing or robbing. The key is, as long as this continues, whether there’s a mission or not, it makes no difference to the Huangquan Team.
If the Liu Guang Team or the Zhan Yue Team want to ostracize her and the Huangquan Team, go ahead.
Just thinking about having a stable income of merit points in the future put Ye Lingyue in a great mood. She even momentarily put aside the issue of the Hong Meng Heavenly Spiritual Energy shortage.
When she’s in a good mood, she thought that she hadn’t contacted Di Shen in a while, originally planning to do so after arriving at Qiyu City.
But who would have thought, she’d overhear about Dongfang Liuli, and Di Shen hadn’t mentioned it, not even his visit to Qiyu City, which Ye Lingyue learned from others.
Because of this, Ye Lingyue felt a bit displeased and decided to give Di Shen the cold shoulder.
That damn Di Shen made her disguise ugly, while he waltzed around like a "walking ingot," attracting admiring glances daily.
It turns out, ever since Demon Clan’s surprise attack, Di Shen hadn’t heard from his dear wife.
The Phoenix Token hadn’t reacted at all.
That night, he finally heard some movement from the Phoenix Token.
Like cradling a treasure, he held the Phoenix Token with care.
"Dear wife, you’re finally acknowledging me. I’ve missed you. How have you been these days? Eating well? Sleeping well? Have you been listening to my advice and keeping a distance from ’idle people’?"
The "idle people" Di Shen referred to were none other than Bo Qing.
When Di Shen spoke, it was with a torrent of words.
It was hard to associate him with the person Dongfang Tianxian had met.
Ye Lingyue dryly laughed twice.
"You still have time to think about me, huh? Aren’t there plenty of those Eastern fairies and Western beauties around you?"
Even through the Phoenix Token, across mountains and rivers, Di Shen still heard something amiss in his dear wife’s words.
"Dear wife, whom are you talking about? There’s no one around me; Fifth Sister and I have parted ways, she’s gone to the Northeast Region of the Central Plains."
Di Shen was somewhat unsure of his dear wife’s mood.
"I was talking about Dongfang Liuli."
Ye Lingyue ground her teeth.
"Who is that?"
Di Shen was still utterly baffled.
"You don’t even know who Dongfang Liuli is? The great beauty of Qiyu City. The young lady stripped bare for you and climbed into your bed."
Ye Lingyue found it both frustrating and amusing that Di Shen didn’t even know who this person was while the Eastern fairy already considered her a rival.
"Oh, you’re talking about that Spring Roll Girl? Whether she stripped or not has nothing to do with me. Dear wife, my bed welcomes only you."
Di Shen’s reply was confidently assured.
Spring Roll Girl?
The living (colorful) beauty actually became a spring roll?
Ye Lingyue burst into laughter.
"Good on you for having sense, but talking about matters, why did you let Fifth Sister go to the Northeast alone? You know, her Dantian situation isn’t looking good."
Ye Lingyue inquired about Wuyue when contacting Di Shen as well.
For this Fifth Sister, Ye Lingyue had much respect.
When Di Shen was young, Ye Lingyue couldn’t sew children’s clothes, so Wuyue handled it all.
To Di Shen, she had always been like a sister.
This kindness, Ye Lingyue remembered.
"Fifth Sister requested it herself; her temperament is just like yours."
Di Shen chuckled.
Whether it’s dear wife or Fifth Sister, they are not women who rely on men.
So, although Di Shen knew Ye Lingyue had reached Qiyu City, he had never asked about merit points.
He firmly believed dear wife wouldn’t fall short of him and shouldn’t be bothered with such matters.
That’s what sets them apart from other female demon hunters and even the Eastern fairy in Qiyu City.
Di Shen believed, whether he’s strong or weak, ugly or handsome, it would all be the same in his dear wife’s eyes.
"But, since you’ve arrived in Qiyu City, I plan on heading to the Northeast Region both to covertly look after Fifth Sister and because I just found out the letter from Little Jiu Nian that you mentioned last time may have been transmitted through the Demon King Tribe Tongtian Tribe in the Northeast Region of the Central Plains."
Empress Dowager Chi had agreed to send Little Jiu Nian’s letter, so naturally, it was passed through the Tongtian Tribe.
Yet why did the Demon Clan’s letter eventually have its source identified by City Lord Ma and Master Chen? This point puzzled Di Shen.
He even suspected that there might be a human spy within the Demon Tribe, or perhaps there was early collaboration between the Human Clan and the Demon Clan.
All these speculations awaited Di Shen to verify.
The area where Di Shen was located was the Golden Horn Demon King’s Demon Tribe.
He couldn’t help but let Wuyue go alone because he was concerned the Golden Horn Demon King, after being repelled by Ye Lingyue’s team, would retaliate secretly.
The ambush in Fang Ah County had cost the Golden Horn Demon King dearly; he indeed wanted to invade Fang Ah County again.
But due to Di Shen’s infiltration and secret maneuvers, several military warehouses and small Demon Tribe settlements under the Golden Horn Demon King suffered from demon hunters’ attacks, leaving the Golden Horn Demon King overwhelmed and unable to plan any revenge.
Thus, Di Shen could depart smoothly.
It’s a perfect time, as Di Shen also received a new investigation mission.
The Jiu Provinces Alliance received information that the Tongtian Tribe in the Northeast Region would hold a large celebration in a few days.
If this celebration’s exact location could be pinpointed and an ambush set on the way, it would be a prime opportunity to annihilate the Demon Tribe.
"Alright then, you should set out early, but don’t act impulsively if you find a Demon Road. I’ll rush over as soon as possible."
Ye Lingyue reminded him again before they each rested.
Meanwhile, as Ye Lingyue and Di Shen worried about Wuyue’s safety, Wuyue had already entered the Tongtian Tribe’s domain.
"It’s right around here. My parents were ambushed and killed here."
Standing on a gently sloping hillside.
Wuyue wiped the sweat off her face.
After rushing day and night, she had lost quite a bit of weight, and her clothes were stained dark red with blood from various demon beasts and herself.
Yet her face still shone with unprecedented determination.
"No matter where you are, once I find you, I will personally tear open your throat and use your blood to honor my parents’ spirits in heaven."
Wuyue made a silent vow in her heart against the morning wind filled with the scent of blood.
