"The love poems you wrote for , mysteriously connected to my heart, all surged towards my Heart Lake. I found they could nourish the withered lotuses in the Lotus Pond, so I redirected them to repair my Heart Lake, consuming a vast amount of Spiritual Energy. In the end... I used up twenty-eight love poems." Zhao Lingfei sighed wistfully, "Those four precious Nanshan Grade ones were among them. Now, I only have three perfect Falling Flower Grades left... It does seem a bit extravagant."
Zhao Rong imdiately breathed a sigh of relief, telepathically comforting her, "It’s alright, it’s alright, graded poems are rely consumables. It’s the best news that your childhood sweetheart and Heart Lake can heal. Even if we use up more Nanshan Grades, it’s worth it! Let’s not rush the Realm Breakthrough; take it slow. As long as the Vast Realm stands, we’re not afraid of running out of firewood..."
Zhao Lingfei shook her head, interrupting, "What I regret is not that, but my heart aches for the love poems you wrote. Each one used diminishes them... Especially that one, ’Swear.’ I’m really fond of it."
She scrunched up her delicate nose with so heartache and muttered to herself:
"Oh well, let’s make the best use of them... Hmm, there are still three Falling Flower Grades left... Hmm, that’s enough."
Suddenly, Zhao Lingfei called, "Husband!"
"What’s wrong?" Zhao Rong responded casually, looking around, preparing to make his escape, as the gathering Residence Students around were increasing.
Zhao Lingfei seed not to notice Zhao Rong’s intention, playfully said, "In a while, you’ll rember to cooperate with ."
Zhao Rong turned around, puzzled, "Cooperate in what?"
Zhao Lingfei did not explain, directly released from Zhao Rong’s embrace, and took a step back, publicly.
With a graceful wave of her hand, of the thirty-one Poetry Slips rotating around her, twenty-eight with faded ink disappeared, as she put them away.
Three Poetry Slips remained, floating in front of Zhao Lingfei, the words on the paper still there, bright and radiant.
At this mont, they finally absorbed the Spiritual Energy and were completely lit up.
The crowd finally saw the majestic Spiritual Energy vortex around Zhao Lingfei starting to calm down.
Just when they thought the grand spectacle caused by this lady today was finally coming to an end—
Zhao Lingfei suddenly grabbed Zhao Rong’s right hand in full view, and spoke out loud:
"Thank you, husband. Today, you were inspired to gift thirty-one love poems, of which four Nanshan Grades are treasures, and twenty-seven Falling Flower Grades have deeply touched my heart."
The entire place fell silent, with only her crisp voice echoing.
"I am clumsy, compared to your literary talent, it’s hard for to put love into words. Thinking of you deeply, yet always felt there’s nothing to repay you with. I’ve thought long and hard, then I found, there are so fellow students within the mansion talking about you, misunderstandings arose, so today, I decided to introduce you to everyone."
Zhao Lingfei holding Zhao Rong’s hand, looked around with a smile bright as a flower:
"My husband is nad Zhao Rong, styled Ziyu. We were born in the sa year and month, residing together in the Duke Mansion in Great Chu, childhood sweethearts, without any doubts. You read poetry and I cultivate. We married at the beginning of this year, and husband traveled thousands of miles to Du You to accompany . Now, he studies diligently at Linlu Academy. Although currently just a newly admitted Mochi Student, in my heart, he is the top reading seed of our ti. Even among thousands of students in Linlu Academy, none compares to a ten-thousandth of my husband in my view."
The atmosphere grew quieter.
Facing the astonished gazes, even Zhao Rong’s thick skin felt a bit embarrassed, although he wouldn’t admit that his heart was already blooming with joy.
Zhao Lingfei used to be calm, never contending with others.
However, when such a woman no longer wishes to be quiet and wants to contest, she becos one who gazes down upon all others.
At this mont, the gathered Residence Students subconsciously silenced themselves, watching the woman who stood proudly with her beloved in the center:
"Though my husband’s nature is gentle and he doesn’t enjoy competing with others, he often advises to be low-profile and grounded. When it cos to cultivation and breaking through Realms, he cautions to solidify the foundation and take things slow, avoid making the mistakes of geniuses. Therefore, I have been attentively abiding by his teachings, painstakingly suppressing my Vast Realm’s Perfection Realm, afraid a careless step would lead to advance..."
Zhao Lingfei’s tone was understated, leaving everyone in awe.
And equally stunned... was Zhao Rong.
Suppressing the Realm? How co I didn’t know about this, wait... he finally understood the aning behind his wife’s earlier ’cooperation’.
The astonished Residence Students saw, at this mont, Zhao Lingfei’s lips curled into a faint smile:
"Recently, so senior sisters within the mansion have occasionally ntioned so comnts about . I brought it up with my husband, and he always smiled without saying a word, so was I, affected by him—a smile dispelled it... However, returning to the mansion recently, I discovered those rumors no longer confined to but began to spread irrelevant topics about my husband..."
The woman paused, gave a soft ’heh’ with a sowhat profound tone.
In the crowd, including Sister Han and other Residence Students, faces turned pale instantly; so instinctively stepped back.
Zhao Lingfei narrowed her eyes, observing everyone’s expressions, lightly nodding with a sigh:
"I suddenly realized, my Cultivation Heart is still lacking, not even having half of my husband’s tolerance. Still, I think it’s not too bad, at least... I can occasionally be willful in front of him."
"Husband, today I’m going to boldly contradict just once." She suddenly smiled, gazing at Zhao Rong, and spoke lightly yet loud enough to echo across the venue: "I dare to ask my husband, am I allowed to break through?"
Zhao Rong looked at his wife, whose eyes were alight with excitent, and very ’cooperatively’ feigned pondering for a mont.
He gave a gentle sigh, helplessly waved his hand:
"You may."
Pausing for a mont, he added in front of the gazing eyes: "Keep it subtle."
Zhao Lingfei gave him a sweet smile, instantly causing a stir across the venue.
The next second.
Zhao Lingfei gracefully waved her hand, putting away the three Poetry Slips.
Then she took a small step forward, ca to Zhao Rong’s side, softly holding his arm without further action.
Zhao Rong stood still, pretending to be calm, yet his eyes were fixed steadily on his wife, counting down several tis in his mind, but still, the expected breakthrough scene did not occur.
Zhao Lingfei held Zhao Rong’s arm with both hands, a pair of large, beautiful autumn eyes gazing at him, "What’s wrong, husband?"
"Uh..."
Zhao Rong’s eyes brimd with curiosity... "Wife, what about your breakthrough? I’ve already prepared, no need to wait for ."
Whether understanding Zhao Rong’s hint or not, Zhao Lingfei just smiled, saying nothing.
Zhao Rong felt a bit puzzled, suddenly realizing that the surrounding crowd, once uproarious, was now deathly silent.
The entire venue was pin-drop silent.
Zhao Rong suddenly realized, turned around and asked surprisingly: "It’s done?"
The woman beside him casually nodded, at the sa ti, opened her palm to reveal three Falling Flower Grade Poetry Slips.
There were no words left on the paper.
Realm Breakthroughs don’t co easy, Qing Jun sighed: "Ended up taking an extra small step accidentally, alas..."
Zhao Rong: "......"
The entire crowd: "......"
Today, at this mont, a Taiching’s Tranquility Mansion female Residence Student, Zhao Lingfei, silently and swiftly advanced to the mid-stage of the Heavenly Will Realm!
The gathered Residence Students around seed like a gigantic powder keg, suddenly ignited, the entire venue erupted...
As the spouse of a certain woman, and currently, having his arm lightly clasped by her with a grin, Zhao Rong expressed: he is numb.
What kind of fantastical wife has he ended up with...
