Qin Chu's movements were fluid and seamless, from pulling Qian Lingwu down to mounting her, all completed in an instant.
Riding on Qian Lingwu, Qin Chu's left hand released her arm and he slapped her butt, once, twice…
Just as Qin Chu was about to slap a third time, his body was suppressed by Qian Lingwu's Origin Qi energy.
Enraged, Qian Lingwu flipped, pinning Qin Chu beneath her. She then plunged her long spear into the ground beside her and began pounding Qin Chu's body with her fists, finally delivering a direct punch to his nose.
“Bastard, lowlife!” After getting up, Qian Lingwu gave Qin Chu's butt another hard kick before releasing her Origin Qi suppression on him and stepping back.
Lying on the ground, Qin Chu stretched out his left hand and looked at it, “Haha, spanking the Great Qian Dynasty's eldest princess's butt, how satisfying…”
However, Qin Chu's laughter didn't last, because Qian Lingwu came back for more punches.
After enduring another brutal beating, Qin Chu stopped laughing. He got up and straightened his robes.
“Alright! This sparring, where I can only take a beating and not hit back, we shouldn't continue it. Everything I needed to tell you and show you, I've shown you. That's how things are. The rest is for you to fulfill our sworn agreement,” Qin Chu said, looking at Qian Lingwu.
“No, I still want to see it a few more times!” Qian Lingwu said.
“When you do things, enough is enough. Don't push your luck too far. Only a fool would spar with you if they can only take a beating!” Qin Chu turned and moved aside. He had no intention of dealing with Qian Lingwu anymore; she was too unreasonable.
Looking at Qin Chu, Qian Lingwu's face was filled with anger, “When men and women fight, do you attack a woman's butt? Do you even understand the rules?”
“When men and women fight, weapons can be used to slice throats or stab chests, but can I do that? I can't hit your face, so where do you expect me to hit? Alright, don't talk to me about this anymore. You don't respect the rules and only use your Origin Qi Cultivation to suppress others. I despise you, and I will not fight with you again,” Qin Chu said after glancing at Qian Lingwu. Although he had been beaten, he wasn't too angry, because he had gained an advantage; he had spanked Qian Lingwu's butt.
Subsequently, neither Qian Lingwu nor Qin Chu spoke, and they began to sulk.
Qian Lingwu remained silent because Qin Chu had a point. When he sparred with her, he didn't aim to kill, so he couldn't attack her throat or chest. Therefore, attacking her backside was the only option. But she was still angry; Qin Chu's behavior was shameless, it was sacrilege!
Qin Chu felt aggrieved, because Qian Lingwu constantly used her Cultivation to suppress him. How many undeserved beatings had he taken?
The two sulked until noon when Er Pang brought food, but it was only Qin Chu's portion.
Just as Qin Chu was about to eat, Qian Lingwu sat opposite him, picked up the only pair of chopsticks on the table, and took two bites.
In this situation, Qin Chu could only find two branches to use as chopsticks and ate a simple meal.
“Qin Chu, you need to learn to respect others. What you did to me was inappropriate,” after eating, Qian Lingwu looked at Qin Chu and said. She suddenly felt that Qin Chu was still young and didn't understand some social etiquette, so she shouldn't blame him.
“Princess, can't you just let me go?” Qin Chu was also troubled. Qian Lingwu wouldn't leave and kept staying with him; what was going on? How long would he have to endure this frustration?
Qian Lingwu shook her head, “I want to improve myself, and understanding the Spirit Realm is very important, so I still need your help. I won't make things too difficult for you. Take this as compensation.”
After speaking, Qian Lingwu took out two shining stones and handed them to Qin Chu.
They were Spirit Stones, Qin Chu had seen them before; Shang Shuyu had taken out two last time.
“Then what about the sparring?” Qin Chu asked Qian Lingwu. He was unwilling to participate in sparring where he could only be hit and not hit back.
“Spirit Stones are very scarce. Only use them when your Cultivation is about to Breakthrough. As for sparring, we can do it casually. You… you just don't go too far,” Qian Lingwu hesitated before saying.
“Then can you not use Origin Qi energy that exceeds mine to suppress me? That only proves you're not capable, that you're inferior to me at the same level,” Qin Chu said.
Qian Lingwu pondered for a moment, then nodded. Qin Chu was helpless in the face of authority, and wasn't she the same? She was under someone else's roof and had to bow her head. If Qin Chu resisted her completely, she wouldn't gain anything.
Over the next two days, Qin Chu and Qian Lingwu got along a little more harmoniously. During sparring, they would stop at a certain point. Qin Chu no longer used dirty tricks, and Qian Lingwu didn't really punish him either; they would stop fighting when it was appropriate.
At night, Qian Lingwu stayed inside the wooden house, and Qin Chu was outside the wooden house. They meditated with the wooden house between them.
It was originally very harmonious, but some things are unpredictable.
After dinner that day, Qian Lingwu went into the wooden house to Cultivate. While Qin Chu was meditating outside, it suddenly started to rain heavily, forcing Qin Chu to stand under the eaves of the wooden house.
The autumn wind was chilling, and with the pouring rain, it was quite cold by the wooden house. Qin Chu was also dressed rather lightly.
“Come in!” Qian Lingwu's voice came from inside the wooden house.
Qin Chu pushed open the wooden house door, lit the candle inside, then took out a meditation cushion and sat on the ground. As for Qian Lingwu, her meditation cushion was on Qin Chu's bed.
After meditating for a while, Qin Chu wanted to curse, because the rain was too heavy, and some rainwater seeped into the wooden house along its sides. The ground was already wet, and his meditation cushion started to get soaked.
In this situation, Qin Chu could only stand up and move to the doorway of the wooden house. Unable to meditate, he could only wait for the rain to stop or for dawn.
“You… you can meditate at the foot of the bed.” Looking at Qin Chu's back standing at the wooden house doorway, Qian Lingwu spoke. There were some things she was very resistant to, but she wasn't a completely heartless person. She felt that as someone from the Qingyun Sect's miscellaneous courtyard, Qin Chu also faced many difficulties. Which of the royal descendants didn't live in luxury? But Qin Chu was self-reliant, and some aspects of him touched her heart.
“Never mind, I'll just stand for a while. As long as I don't get wet, it's fine.” After turning around and glancing at Qian Lingwu, Qin Chu shook his head. Getting too close to Qian Lingwu easily led to a beating.
“Just behave yourself, I won't eat you,” Qian Lingwu laughed, looking at Qin Chu's somewhat nervous face. She felt she had scared him.
After hesitating, Qin Chu sat at the foot of the bed. Looking at Qian Lingwu, Qin Chu felt that Qian Lingwu was very beautiful when she wasn't angry, and getting close to her gave him a suffocating feeling.
“Let's talk. You have Sacred Blood in you, why do you still come out to suffer like this?” Qian Lingwu asked, expressing her confusion.
