Can Qin Chu be blamed? Qin Chu attacked her because he wanted to escape, which is human nature, and there was nothing wrong with that!
Seeing Qin Chu's robe, Shang Ruoyu picked it up, "You had a chance to kill me and didn't act. Our past grievances are settled, but today's grievances must continue."
She looked at the two small snakes, drew her long sword, and swung it twice, but ultimately didn't strike. "Others showed me mercy, so I will show you mercy too, but you've caused me a lot of trouble!" She felt the pain in that special area again.
Taking a deep breath, Shang Ruoyu took out her meditation cushion and began to Cultivate. Putting everything else aside, restoring her state was important.
As her Origin Qi began to circulate, Shang Ruoyu's beautiful eyes opened again because she felt a pure force of Yuan Yang within her body. She knew it was Qin Chu's, the Yuan Yang force Qin Chu had left in her body.
Refining the Yuan Yang force left by Qin Chu, Shang Ruoyu's meridians, which had been difficult to restore before, began to recover.
Qin Chu traveled for a while, feeling that his body was not quite right; an extremely cold energy was circulating within him.
After stopping and sitting cross-legged, Qin Chu began to examine himself. He found that this extremely cold energy was terrifyingly pure, and its emanating Qi was causing his Origin Qi Cultivation to improve.
After eating a Bigu Pill, Qin Chu began to Cultivate. This extremely cold energy was too pure for him to refine, but by absorbing the peripheral energy, his Origin Qi Cultivation soared.
Half a month later, Qin Chu stopped Cultivating. That extremely cold energy was still in his body, barely weakened, but his Origin Qi Cultivation had advanced directly from Intermediate ninth-level Heavenly Origin Realm to the Peak.
"Is it from Shang Ruoyu?" Qin Chu was a little confused. This energy appeared after he and Shang Ruoyu had sex; it wasn't there before.
Let it stay in his body for now! Qin Chu also had no solution. The current problem was that he should go home and let the Black Prison Master know he was safe. But then the problem arose: should he tell Senior Sister Shang Shuyu about what happened between him and Shang Ruoyu? If he told her, how would he explain it? Qin Chu didn't know if Shang Shuyu would forgive him.
After traveling for a day and entering a city, Qin Chu hired a beast carriage. He refined his Cultivation inside the carriage while heading towards Heavenly Sword City.
Shang Ruoyu was still meditating. Three days passed, and most of her injuries had recovered. The meridians that had been damaged by the Black Prison Master and previously unable to heal were now restored.
"Qi Qingqing, what you desire, you cannot obtain, but I... Is this a twist of fate? I used this Yuan Yang Qi for healing. I am not as shameless as you, wanting a child!" After assessing her condition, Shang Ruoyu muttered to herself.
A few days ago, while traveling with Qin Chu, Shang Ruoyu asked Qin Chu about Qi Qingqing. Qin Chu told her about his disputes with Qi Qingqing, and Shang Ruoyu also told Qin Chu about some grievances in the Nether Martial Continent.
Qi Qingqing was from Wuyou Palace. Wuyou Palace was once the strongest force in the Nether Martial Continent. With the rise of the Vermilion Bird Sacred Clan, Wuyou Palace declared war on the Vermilion Bird Sacred Clan. After the fighting began, she defeated Qi Qingqing, Wuyou Palace lost, and a grudge was formed. There was enmity, but no one was entirely right or wrong.
Shang Ruoyu did not leave the cave and continued to heal her injuries inside. Danger? She didn't think so. If Qin Chu wanted to deal with her, he could have just given her a sword when she was exhausted; there was no need to go back and call people to target her.
Qin Chu returned to Heavenly Sword City and went directly back to the Vermilion Bird Sacred Clan's stronghold.
Seeing Qin Chu return, Qin Lingxi's face was filled with excitement, and Shang Shuyu even hugged Qin Chu and cried.
"Aunt, please notify the Alchemist Guild and have them relay a message," Qin Chu said to Qin Lingxi. He didn't want to see anyone right now; some things were truly unexplainable.
"President Mei seems to still be in Heavenly Sword City. Aunt will go deliver the message," Qin Lingxi said.
After chatting with his aunt for a few moments, Qin Chu returned to his courtyard, and Shang Shuyu also followed Qin Chu into the courtyard.
"Qin Chu, you weren't seriously injured, were you?" Shang Shuyu asked, looking at Qin Chu.
"No injuries!" Qin Chu shook his head.
"It's good that you're not injured. You had me so worried," Shang Shuyu said.
Qin Chu hugged Shang Shuyu, "Senior Sister, but I've let you down."
Shang Shuyu helped Qin Chu straighten his robe, "Since you're back, there's nothing to be sorry for. If you hadn't come back, that would have been letting me down, letting me down for my entire life."
Looking at Shang Shuyu, Qin Chu felt that some things should be discussed later. Shang Shuyu was happy now, so he didn't want to spoil her mood.
Upon learning of Qin Chu's safety, Mei Tianling was very happy and spread the news, letting other Sacred Martial Enforcers know. As for the Black Prison Master, as long as the news was given to Demon Castle, the Black Prison Master would know.
At night, Shang Shuyu rested. Qin Lingxi came to Qin Chu's courtyard. At this time, Qin Chu was looking at the moonlight, his heart far from calm.
"Aunt is here," Qin Chu invited Qin Lingxi to sit down.
"It's a happy thing that you returned safely, but Aunt sees that you're not happy. Is something wrong? Don't worry, no matter what price you paid, Aunt and the Vermilion Bird Sacred Clan will bear it for you. What conditions did you promise her?" Qin Lingxi asked, looking at Qin Chu.
After Qin Chu returned, he kept silent about how he escaped. Coupled with Qin Chu's unhappiness, Qin Lingxi had some guesses, but no matter what happened, she didn't blame her nephew; being alive was the most important thing.
"Aunt is overthinking. I did pay a price, but I didn't promise her anything, nor do I need the Vermilion Bird Sacred Clan to bear anything," Qin Chu shook his head.
"Then what price did you pay?" Qin Lingxi pressed on.
Qin Chu lowered his head and said nothing. The matter was too difficult to speak of.
Looking at Qin Chu, Qin Lingxi went into the main hall of Qin Chu's courtyard, then asked Qin Chu to sit down, "Your mother isn't here, so your aunt is your mother. There's nothing you can't tell me."
Exhaling, Qin Chu told Qin Lingxi what had happened.
After listening to Qin Chu's words, Qin Lingxi clenched her right fist and knocked on the table. "This is not your fault. If Yu'er can understand, then it's not a problem; if she can't, then it's a big problem. Otherwise, let's not talk about it!"
"Aunt, I still plan to tell her. Before we get married, whether she accepts it or not, it's easier to resolve; if we get married and she can't accept it then, that would be trouble," Qin Chu thought for a moment and said.
"Qi Qingqing, Shang Ruoyu, they are all crazy," Qin Lingxi was very conflicted. In the past, men usually did these kinds of things. Are women playing like this now too? Although it wasn't Shang Ruoyu's intention, it had become a fact.
At this moment, Shang Ruoyu was also very conflicted. Should she return to the Nether Martial Continent? She came all this way, had sex with Qin Chu, and then just went back? She was unwilling!
