Chapter 48: Chapter 48: Scoundrel! Chapter 48: Chapter 48: Scoundrel! Shen Qinghe thought to herself that, indeed, nothing was more important than her own life. Mr. Wuya had also said her life was saved by him, and without his permission, no one else could take it away, which was probably why Mr. Wuya gifted her such an important magic artifact.
A few days later, Shen Zhiyao noticed that Shen Qinghe seed to be plagued by a demonic obstruction. In the past, even though Qinghe was diligent in her cultivation, she would still find ti to cook, but now she only consud Fasting Pills and devoted all her ti to cultivation.
In her view, Qinghe wished she could split an hour into 24 just to have more ti to cultivate.
“Qinghe, take a rest if you are tired. You haven’t rested for five days,” Shen Zhiyao said with affection for such a Qinghe.
Previously, Qinghe was pampered by Elder Shen as she grew up. Even for sword practice, she would learn for half an hour and then rest for three. This was unlike now, where she would not sleep, not stop, and not eat; even an iron body couldn’t bear it.
Although Qinghe was now a cultivator, and did not need to rest every night like mortals, her constant cultivation without respite would surely take a toll on her body.
“I’m not tired… just a bit sleepy…” Shen Qinghe suddenly felt a little deflated.
She had been cultivating nonstop these five days and because of this, her spiritual energy was rapidly depleting, and now she felt a gradual exhaustion of her spiritual energy.
Without spiritual energy, an endless tiredness surged up.
At this ti, she should have approached the main characters to draw upon their spiritual energy, but she felt it would be better to sleep well.
Ever since she had her immortal fate, she could no longer sleep soundly and peacefully as before; now, she felt so tired and weak.
“If you’re sleepy, go and sleep for a while, elder sister will watch over you,” Shen Zhiyao gently smiled at Shen Qinghe.
Shen Qinghe nodded silently: “When I wake up, I’ll make sothing delicious for elder sister.”
She collapsed onto the bed, and sleep quickly enveloped her whole body.
This ti, she dreamt about the scenes from the book again. Even though she was supposed to be an early casualty and rely an observer, she found herself in the thick of it.
The mont she opened her eyes, she still rembered the terrified feeling when she saw Shen Zhiyao’s skin being flayed and her bones being pulled apart in her dream.
Shen Zhiyao was practicing swordplay in the yard. As she turned around with her sword, she saw Qinghe standing behind her, not knowing when she had co, looking at her with a lancholy gaze.
“What’s wrong?” Shen Zhiyao pinched her little sister’s tender cheek, “Did you have a nightmare?”
Shen Qinghe snuggled into Shen Zhiyao’s embrace, feeling the warmth of her arms, and the fear and unease in her heart gradually faded.
That was just a scene from the book that had not happened yet; her elder sister surely would not et the sa dire fate as in the book.
“You’re already in your twenties, how co you’re still like a child?” Shen Zhiyao hugged Shen Qinghe tightly, feeling her sister’s soft body with a faint scent of fresh grass.
“On the day of the execution, Nan Sheng looked at with eyes full of hatred, I’m afraid she might harm elder sister,” Shen Qinghe expressed her worry.
“Don’t worry, my cultivation base is higher than hers, she can’t deal with that easily,” Shen Zhiyao stroked Shen Qinghe’s hair, the usually careless her showing rare tenderness.
Shen Qinghe’s eyes were slightly sore; elder sister knew nothing. She was unaware that she was the villainess in the book, and that she could not coexist with Nan Sheng, the heroine.
Even less did elder sister know how sinister Nan Sheng was. She didn’t have to lift a finger herself, as she could utilize the male cultivators who adored her to attack elder sister, including Yan Changsheng and Xiao Chen.
Whether it was Yan Changsheng or Xiao Chen, their cultivation bases were higher than elder sister’s, and it would be easy for them to deal with her.
“Can elder sister take along wherever you go from now on? I’m not highly skilled in cultivation, and it would be easy for Nan Sheng to deal with , but with elder sister around, I won’t be afraid of her.”
Seeing her little sister’s hopeful eyes, Shen Zhiyao’s heart lted: “Alright, alright, I’ll take our Xiao Hemiao with wherever I go.”
But with the Red Lotus Shield Armor, does this girl still need her protection? With such a powerful Magic Artifact, Yan Changsheng won’t be able to bully her easily anymore, right?
“Elder sister can’t go back on her word, I’ll go make sothing delicious,” Shen Qinghe said with a radiant smile.
Upon hearing there was delicious food, Shen Zhiyao’s eyes lit up.
After the Shen sisters had their fill, Shen Qinghe pondered how to get closer to the protagonist.
Her current situation still depended on the protagonist, even though she knew that getting close to the protagonist might bring disaster.
Taking the initiative to find the protagonist would seem too deliberate, better to wait until the protagonist went to Juxiu Hall and then make plans.
Two days later there was a class at Juxiu Hall, and the Shen sisters went there early.
As fate would have it, Nan Sheng and Xiao Chen also arrived at Juxiu Hall at the sa ti, and the four of them ran into each other.
Nan Sheng’s injuries had only improved a bit today. Unfortunately, as soon as she arrived at Juxiu Hall, she saw Shen Qinghe’s disgusting face. Seeing Shen Qinghe reminded her of the humiliation she suffered at the Punishnt Hall.
Shen Zhiyao also felt unlucky, running into Nan Sheng and Xiao Chen, this pair of dogs. She bumped into them very rudely.
If previously she couldn’t let go of Xiao Chen, ever since he injured Shen Qinghe because of Nan Sheng, she no longer had the slightest attachnt to Xiao Chen.
Nan Sheng was bumped squarely and weakly hid in Xiao Chen’s embrace.
She knew Shen Zhiyao liked Xiao Chen and intentionally used this thod to tornt Shen Zhiyao’s heart. Little did she know that Shen Zhiyao scoffed at her and Xiao Chen, “A pair of shaless dogs!”
After saying that, she pulled Shen Qinghe into Juxiu Hall.
When Shen Qinghe appeared again, she drew everyone’s attention, simply because everyone had witnessed what happened that day in Juxiu Hall. Mr. Wuya not only tenderly fed Shen Qinghe an Elixir but also carried her away from Juxiu Hall.
Dongfang Wuya was an unapproachable flower, always solitary and not mingling with anyone, regardless of gender.
Who had ever seen Dongfang Wuya holding any woman?
Yet Dongfang Wuya treated Shen Qinghe differently and, in a fit of rage for his beloved, punished Xiao Chen, Nan Sheng, and Yan Changsheng.
At that ti, Mr. Wuya had also declared in front of everyone that Shen Qinghe was his woman. Later, so claid to have seen Shen Qinghe kiss Dongfang Wuya at the Punishnt Hall.
In any case, as soon as the scandalous protagonist appeared, everyone stared at her as if they wanted to see a flower bloom on her face.
Upon closer inspection, they found Shen Qinghe indeed very beautiful.
If Nan Sheng was the type of beauty that exuded pure desire, Shen Qinghe was clean and transparent, a girl as pure as water. She was the kind of beauty that was comforting to look at and made one want to get closer. Such beauty ward the heart and spleen.
Nan Sheng stood right behind Shen Qinghe and clearly saw that everyone’s gaze fell on Shen Qinghe. Her usual admirers weren’t looking at her.
This was an unprecedented sign.
Whenever she was present, she had always been the center of attention. Had she ever been ignored like this?
She had not yet fully recovered from the Thunder Whip punishnt she received on the day of the execution. Now, Shen Qinghe stole away the lilight that belonged to her, making her feel very oppressed.
Unwilling to be ignored, she suddenly asked, “Qinghe, what is your relationship with Mr. Wuya?”
Nan Sheng’s question was exactly what everyone wanted to ask, and all eyes were on Shen Qinghe, wanting to know how she would answer.
