Chapter 697: Chapter 357: My Wife Gets Jealous, and I Turn the Tables
"You’re committing treason! Why should we help you?"
Suddenly, a petite and icy figure appeared in the room, glaring coldly at Jiang Yin.
"What the hell!"
Jiang Yin stared wide-eyed at Qiu Zhihe, "I just set up a barrier using the Yaoqin, how did you get in?"
Qiu Zhihe ignored her, glancing at Qin Gengyun, "Husband, are you interested in this fake fairy?"
"No, I’m not!"
Qin Gengyun knew his wife’s jealousy had flared up again and quickly explained:
"Wife, let me explain, Jiang Yin has a decent cultivation, so I thought she might be useful to us, and I wanted to talk to her."
"A mere Nascent Soul Seventh-Layer, unable to even escape Bai Liu’s control, what use is such a waste?" Qiu Zhihe said coldly.
Qin Gengyun thought for a moment, "Wife, you have a point, but I’m just a Nascent Soul First-Layer myself. Even if Jiang Yin is useless, she could be a cannon fodder, right?"
"Husband, don’t belittle yourself. If you give it your all, and with Xiaowu’s help, Jiang Yin may not necessarily win against you."
"That’s true. In that case, this person really isn’t of much use."
"Hey, hey." Jiang Yin put her hands on her hips, angrily saying, "You two are too much! I’m still right here!"
Qiu Zhihe glanced at her, "Using my husband as a shield and sharing a room with him, tarnishing his reputation. For these alone, you won’t walk out of this room today."
Jiang Yin, in disbelief, pointed at her, "No, as the renowned Fairy Yaoqin, whose reputation is more important? Your man already has so many women!"
In the next instant, Qiu Zhihe appeared in front of her. Jiang Yin’s expression changed, and just as she was about to pluck the zither strings, Qiu Zhihe’s finger was already on her forehead.
Instantly, Jiang Yin turned pale and her eyes widened.
With a thud, she knelt down and clung to Qiu Zhihe’s leg, "Fairy, spare me!"
Qin Gengyun was dumbfounded. Why did this Fairy Yaoqin act just like Jian Yue?
Qiu Zhihe looked down at the pleading Jiang Yin and coldly said, "Now you know whether or not you have the qualifications to negotiate with us, right?"
Jiang Yin, holding onto Qiu Zhihe’s leg, looked up with a cheeky smile, "I knew you weren’t Ruo Mei. You’re so formidable, I’ve got my sights set on you!"
Qiu Zhihe frowned, "Aren’t you afraid I’ll kill you?"
Jiang Yin confidently said, "I can be of use to you. Besides, if you kill me here, it’ll bring about a lot of trouble. Why bother?"
Qiu Zhihe sneered, "What use could you possibly be to us?"
Jiang Yin quickly said, "Whatever you’re planning in West Imperial City, I can help. Even if I can’t handle the strongest, I can still block the small fries for you, can’t I?"
Qiu Zhihe said calmly, "And you expect us to kill Bai Liu for such a trivial role?"
Jiang Yin immediately got frustrated, "Then what do you want me to do?"
Suddenly she seemed to think of something, and looked at Qin Gengyun in horror, waving her hands, "Let’s be clear, I’m not serving men!"
Qiu Zhihe chuckled, "Do you think you’re worthy to serve my husband?"
Jiang Yin pouted, "Then what do you want me to do?"
Qiu Zhihe said, "I’ll help you kill Bai Liu, but in West Imperial City, you must follow our orders. Once it’s done, you’ll need to serve as my maid for three years."
"Become your maid?"
Jiang Yin widened her eyes, warily saying, "You don’t mean a bedroom maid, right?"
She had come to find Qin Gengyun and Qiu Zhihe to avoid becoming Bai Liu’s plaything, unwilling to escape one pitfall only to fall into another.
Qiu Zhihe said, "Don’t worry, there are plenty to serve my husband, it won’t be your turn. You only need to obey me."
Jiang Yin lowered her head, pondered for a long time, and finally stood up, "Alright, it’s a deal!"
To her, being a maid to Qiu Zhihe for three years was far preferable to being toyed with by that lecherous Bai Liu.
Qiu Zhihe nodded, "You can leave now and await my orders."
"Got it!"
Jiang Yin chuckled, lifted her skirt, pulled out a chicken leg from within, and offered it to Qiu Zhihe:
"My lady, would you like one?"
Seeing Qiu Zhihe’s cold gaze, Jiang Yin pouted, shoved the chicken leg into her mouth, and walked out while munching.
As she reached the door, she suddenly turned back, "Oh right, my lady, how should I address you?"
Qiu Zhihe said indifferently, "As you wish."
Jiang Yin made a dismissive sound, "So cautious, whatever, I’m going then."
With that, she disappeared in a flash through the door.
Qin Gengyun said to Qiu Zhihe, "Wife, are you trying to lure Jiang Yin into Cyan Lotus Sect?"
Qiu Zhihe said, "This person doesn’t distinguish between sects, unbound by rules, she indeed resembles the style of our Cyan Lotus Sect."
Qin Gengyun laughed, "So you were just scaring her earlier? Wife, you’re getting slyer by the day."
He chuckled by himself, but Qiu Zhihe’s expression grew more serious, causing Qin Gengyun to stop laughing uneasily.
Qiu Zhihe slowly walked towards him, "I was barely away for a moment, and you brought another woman into our room. Qin Gengyun, you’re quite daring?"
Qin Gengyun quickly said, "Wife, Jiang Yin and I didn’t do anything!"
Qiu Zhihe’s face was icy as she pointed to the bed with its disheveled blankets, "What’s this?"
Qin Gengyun realized why his wife was upset and explained the earlier events in detail. Qiu Zhihe’s expression softened slightly, but she was still clearly jealous.
"So you’re saying, anytime a pretty woman acts pitiful in front of you, you’ll sympathize with her?"
Qin Gengyun was left speechless. His wife was perfect in every way, except her jealousy. Seeing Qiu Zhihe’s persistent attitude, he had a sudden idea and put on a serious face:
"Wife, you have no right to accuse me. Where did you sneak off to earlier?"
Qiu Zhihe was taken aback, and Qin Gengyun continued, "Also, you’ve kept so many things from me. Today, let’s settle all of this!"
"I-I’m not hiding anything from you!"
Feeling guilty, Qiu Zhihe was cornered to the bed by Qin Gengyun, who swiftly pressed her down.
"What are you doing? Ah..."
Soon, Qiu Zhihe’s soft red lips were firmly sealed by someone else, and those jealous words could no longer be spoken.
Then Qin Gengyun’s hand moved to the sash at her waist.
Qiu Zhihe quickly grabbed his hand, "Husband, no..."
Qin Gengyun looked confused, "What’s wrong, wife?"
Qiu Zhihe guarded her lower belly, biting her lip gently, her face turning red like a ripe apple, about to speak.
"Young master, young lady, that Jiang Yin left, and you two..."
Liu Su and Mo Xiaolan opened the door and walked in, only to be stunned at the sight of the two embracing on the bed.
Mo Xiaolan’s cheeks turned crimson, and she quickly ran out.
Liu Su covered her mouth, looking excited.
Qiu Zhihe pushed Qin Gengyun away in a panic and sat up, while Liu Su chuckled:
"Carry on, carry on."
"Come back!"
Qiu Zhihe shouted coldly, and Liu Su obediently returned, looking innocent, but clearly holding back laughter.
Qiu Zhihe’s face was beet red as she glared at Qin Gengyun fiercely.
It’s all your fault!
Qin Gengyun scratched his head, winking at Qiu Zhihe.
Wife, no worries, we’ll continue tonight.
Qiu Zhihe’s face turned even redder.
In your dreams!
At this moment, a soft and gentle voice came from outside the courtyard, "Junior Sister Ruo, Su Xin requests a meeting."
