Chapter 805 - 39: The First Wife
Chapter 805: Chapter 39: The First Wife
"The first wife?"
Tantai Mingyue stared blankly at Chen Qingmo, then suddenly began to laugh.
Chen Qingmo was puzzled, "Why are you laughing?"
Tantai Mingyue laughed wildly, like a madwoman, losing all composure. After a long time, she finally said:
"I’m laughing at how foolish I was, to be so devoted to someone like you back then. Only now do I realize, I was just one of the many women you toyed with."
Chen Qingmo frowned slightly, "I’ve only had six women in my life; there are countless cultivators in the world with ten wives and nine concubines. Besides, I’ve never wronged any of you. How is that toying?"
"Chen Qingmo!" Tantai Mingyue glared at him, "You humiliated Lin Yuan so disgracefully, and deceived me, yet you dare say you haven’t wronged anyone?"
"And your first wife? Where is she?! Dare you say you didn’t wrong her?!"
"Shut up!!" Chen Qingmo suddenly shouted, holding a God-piercing Whip, which snaked through the cell bars and lashed viciously across Tantai Mingyue’s body.
Tantai Mingyue screamed in agony, collapsing to the ground.
"Demon, stop!"
Su Xin yelled at Chen Qingmo, but saw Chen Qingmo’s face turn steely while the God-piercing Whip continued to strike Tantai Mingyue.
In the dim Sword Prison, the sound of whipping and screams echoed incessantly.
It was unknown how many lashes were dealt, but Chen Qingmo’s rage finally subsided, and he put away the whip.
However, Tantai Mingyue was already lying on the ground, her clothes torn, revealing gruesome welts of blood and flesh. Yet her gaze remained icy cold when she looked at Chen Qingmo:
"Chen Qingmo, you’re afraid... you’re afraid of her."
Chen Qingmo looked at her coldly, "Afraid of who?"
"You’re afraid of your first wife. She’s stronger than you, isn’t she? That’s why you got so angry when I mentioned her."
"Because you know, you’ll never surpass her."
"In front of her, you’re just a humble servant."
Chen Qingmo’s eyes turned sharp, a black beam shot from his fingertip, piercing through Tantai Mingyue’s left shoulder!
Blood spurted out, staining the cell floor red, and Tantai Mingyue’s complexion grew even paler, but the disdain in her eyes intensified.
"Chen Qingmo, am I right? You’re a coward! You’ve relied on women to get this far but don’t dare to admit it. So cowardly and despicable, you’re destined never to ascend!"
Chen Qingmo suddenly laughed, "Mingyue, you will soon see that, with our daughter, I will definitely ascend."
After speaking, his silhouette flashed, already out of the Sword Prison.
"Chen Qingmo! What do you mean? What are you going to do to Xin’Er?!"
Tantai Mingyue struggled to get up, shouting towards the outside, but Chen Qingmo had already gone.
"Mother, mother! Are you alright?"
From the opposite cell, Su Xin asked with concern.
"Xin’Er, Mother is fine, just external wounds, it will heal soon."
Tantai Mingyue transmitted her voice to Su Xin, "Xin’Er, you must remember, if you can get out, tell Xia Qinglian and Qin Gengyun... Chen Qingmo’s Tao Heart has a weakness, and it’s his first wife."
"Father, who was your first woman?"
Outside the Sword Prison, Cheng Qingyu curiously asked Chen Qingmo.
At the Immortal Ascension Ceremony, Cheng Qingyu was defeated by Liu Su and had been unconscious for more than ten days, only waking up last night.
Chen Qingmo had just entered the Sword Prison, and Chen Qingyun was waiting outside, hearing Chen Qingmo being provoked by Tantai Mingyue, Cheng Qingyu overheard the commotion.
After a moment, Chen Qingmo didn’t speak, Cheng Qingyu, still curious, asked again:
"Father, how does your first woman compare to my mother?"
Chen Qingmo looked at Cheng Qingyu, an incredibly fierce aura enveloped Cheng Qingyu, causing her to suddenly fly up and directly into the Sword Prison, with a bang, she was thrown into a cell.
Cheng Qingyu landed on the prison floor, momentarily stunned before climbing up, only to find the array in the cell already closed. She hurriedly shouted outside:
"Dad, I was wrong, I promise not to speak out of turn again!"
Cheng Qingyu thought she had only misspoken, angering her father, and that she’d been thrown into the Sword Prison just to scare her a bit.
But then Chen Qingmo’s voice came to her ears, "Daughter, just stay inside obediently. Once I capture Xia Qinglian, everyone will be here, hehe."
Then Chen Qingmo’s silhouette disappeared.
"Father! Father!"
Cheng Qingyu pounded on the cell door forcefully but couldn’t summon back the departed Chen Qingmo.
"What is Father talking about? What does capturing Xia Qinglian have to do with me?"
Cheng Qingyu finally understood that Chen Qingmo truly intended to keep her locked up. Unbelievingly, she leaned against the cell door, muttering:
"What is really going on?"
Chen Qingmo left Sword Tomb Peak, Black Phoenix flew in from afar, landed before him, and knelt down with a thud:
"Husband, Qingyu has been willful since young, it’s my fault, I beg you to forgive her this time!"
Black Phoenix had seen Chen Qingmo lock Cheng Qingyu in the Sword Prison. She also thought Chen Qingmo was just temporarily angry, but now realized the situation seemed more complicated, and panicked, hurriedly imploring him.
Chen Qingmo looked down at Black Phoenix kneeling on the ground and spoke indifferently:
"Huang’Er, do you blame me for having you yet still showing affection for others?"
Black Phoenix bit her lip, remaining respectfully kneeling:
"I dare not!"
Chen Qingmo chuckled, then asked, "Then, do you know why I search the world for powerful women, having them bear daughters for me?"
Black Phoenix was stunned, as even she was hearing it for the first time. She raised her head in surprise:
"Bearing daughters? Husband, what do you mean?"
Chen Qingmo laughed, "Xia Qinglian thought obtaining the Soul Supplement Seal to complete the residual soul was enough, not knowing, that the soul is an extremely yin entity. Without enough extremely yin bodies as a lead, how can the residual soul be completed?"
At this time, a Commanding Disciple flew over, respectfully reporting:
"Sect Leader, that Tao Spirit Body has left Cyan Lotus Mountain, heading to Northern Wilderness, it seems Xia Qinglian’s group has gone to the Northern Wilderness."
"Northern Wilderness?"
Chen Qingmo laughed:
"Not too stupid, knowing to go to Northern Wilderness, but still a step behind me... Qinglian, how will you deal with the Tao Spirit Body?"
...
Five days later.
Northern Wilderness.
Below Cloud Bamboo Mountain.
"Xiaohong, this is the place."
Si Minglan pointed to the giant Guardian Array and said to Luo Xiaohong.
Luo Xiaohong asked, "Is Xia Qinglian inside?"
Si Minglan said, "I’m not sure, but going inside to check, we can’t go wrong."
Luo Xiaohong rubbed her stomach, "I want to eat something."
Si Minglan said in surprise, "Didn’t you just eat three pairs of Silver Scale Bear paws?"
Luo Xiaohong looked at her, eyes filled with discontent, "Your cooking was terrible."
Si Minglan shrugged, "I’m indeed not good at cooking, maybe there’s a good cook on Cloud Bamboo Mountain."
Upon hearing about a cook, Luo Xiaohong immediately stepped into the array.
Si Minglan’s eyes flickered, silently thinking to herself, "Qin Gengyun, I hope your method works."
