Chapter 236: A Slap

However, Yun Shimo still kept his eyes shut without moving, as if not hearing anything.

Hua Qiyue was so angry that she nearly vomited blood. This fellow was clearly ignoring her!

“Yun Shimo! You just dug your own grave!” Hua Qiyue was finally enraged. She condensed anima energy on her palm and walked toward Yun Shimo.

Yun Shimo was like an old monk in Zen meditation. He did not show any fear as Hua Qiyue was approaching.

Hua Qiyue lifted up her palm and hit out toward Yun Shimo brutally!

When she saw Yun Shimo, she could sense that his Qi Art was at the Great Completeness of Round Sun. Hua Qiyue had not expected the two Top-grade Magic Pellets to help her match up to him.

If they fought now, Yun Shimo might need some time to defeat her.

Yun Shimo suddenly opened his eyes. He was not stupid as to wait for Hua Qiyue’s palm to cleave down on him. If she shattered his brain, wouldn’t he be dead?

Yun Shimo swiftly grabbed Hua Qiyue’s palm. Their strengths were about the same. Hua Qiyue could not retract her hand. Nor could Yun Shimo shove her away.

“Princess Qianyang and I… have not consummated our marriage. Don’t you want to know why?” A whiff of tenderness arose in Yun Shimo’s eyes. But Hua Qiyue continued to stare at him coldly.

“Ha ha, it’s between you married couple. I don’t want to know!” Hua Qiyue rolled her eyes in anger. “Release me! If it weren’t for Tianci, I would have killed you at once!”

Yun Shimo gave a light sigh. “Qiyue… I haven’t been living well for the past year too.”

Hua Qiyue sneered. “Hahaha, you… Not living well? So you think I’ve lived well? Yun Shimo! I nearly went mad searching for Tianci. If it weren’t for the quiet encouragement and company of Ji Feng and friends, I would have gone mad!”

The moment Hua Qiyue mentioned this, she felt instantly the hatred in her heart intensify.

Yun Shimo’s big hands were like steel pliers. She could not retract her hands, so she could only execute her Spirit Summoning Art!

“Spirit Summoning Art!” Yun Shimo watched Hua Qiyue’s icy eyes and his expression changed a bit. Hua Qiyue scolded. “Release me!”

Her Spirit Summoning Art had failed. Yun Shimo shook his head. “Qiyue, I’m practicing a mental practicing method now. Your Spirit Summoning Art has no effect on me. Only when your Qi Art level rises above mine will it take effect.”

Yun Shimo’s enemies were the descendants of a Spirit Summoning Art master. Heavenly Saint Xuanyuan was so powerful. How could Yun Shimo not learn some mental practicing method to resist the Xuanyuan Family?

“You… ” Hua Qiyue was so angry. “Fine! Yun Shimo, you win!”

She decided to summon other spirit arts. Before she could open her mouth, Yun Shimo’s gaze went to behind her. “Tianci… ”

Hua Qiyue had a great fright. She lost concentration and Yun Shimo forcefully took her into his arms!

Damn it!

Hua Qiyue was angry and upset. She did not expect this man to have tricked her!

Hua Qiyue was in Yun Shimo’s arms. A man is usually much stronger than a woman. Hua Qiyue wanted to struggle, but soon his smouldering kiss sealed her lips!

Hua Qiyue widened her eyes!

Yun Shimo—wasn’t he married to Princess Qianyang? Why had they not consummated their marriage? Why was he treating her this way?

Yun Shimo’s soft, tender lips were accompanied with a fragrant medicinal scent, guiding Hua Qiyue into another world. His kiss was more intense than ever before—passionate and fervent.

He kissed Hua Qiyue until she could not catch her breath. A murmur broke from her lips She could not resist him at all.

Didn’t she hate him very much?

But why? when he approached her intimately, she felt so helpless—and even make her heart flutter?

So shameless, so cheap!

Hua Qiyue angrily cursed herself. She forcefully bit down on Yun Shimo’s tongue. He tasted blood, but did not want to let go yet. He was still basking in her loveliness.

Hua Qiyue suddenly felt something thrust against her lower parts. She suffered a big fright. Suddenly, she felt a strange power rapidly awakening in her body.

Hua Qiyue immediately understood. This was the power she got when lightning hit into her body during the thunderstorm.

Usually, the power would not arise.

But when she needed the power, it would arise immediately.

Yun Shimo was pinning down the back of Hua Qiyue’s head forcefully, as their lips entangled, making smacking sounds. It was such an intimate, erotic scene. Hua Qiyue was really willing to sink in his kiss.

Her palm was suddenly filled with that strange energy. Hua Qiyue slapped her palm on Yun Shimo’s back!

Yun Shimo gave a muffled groan. He felt that Hua Qiyue’s palm contained vast amount of power, almost shattering his back.

As he ached, he suddenly lost concentration and Hua Qiyue struggled out of his arms!

Hua Qiyue panted, throwing up a mouthful of blood. It was all Yun Shimo’s.

“Yun Shimo, you’re shameless! As a married man, how dare you molest me!” Hua Qiyue was so angry that her eyes seemed to be spurting fire. She hit out another palm. Yun Shimo got a stinging slap on his face.

Yun Shimo remained in a daze, watching Hua Qiyue’s hateful and watery eyes. The pain in his heart was so intense that it seemed to be tearing him apart, yet he could say nothing.

He was the one who had betrayed her and married Princess Qianyang. How could her heart not feel the pain?

Hua Qiyue turned around and strode off. She understood this was what Yun Shimo was like. He was not willing to return the green jade gourd to her. Even if both of them had ended up injured, he still wouldn’t return her the jade.

Unless she had killed him.

How could Hua Qiyue be so ruthless? After all, she still needed his purplish liquid to relieve Tianci’s pain.

If it was not for Tianci, Hua Qiyue would have killed Yun Shimo tonight. That man made her suffer more than a year, almost driving her crazy.

Yun Shimo stood up, reaching for Hua Qiyue’s hand. But Hua Qiyue immediately vanished into air.

His hand grasped into thin air. Yun Shimo stood there and gazed intently in the direction Hua Qiyue had left, feeling empty.

The autumn wind blew, carrying a lingering osmanthus fragrance.

Yun Shimo’s robe sleeves were fluttering noisily in the breeze. Yet a silent despair and melancholy had diffused in his heart.

He and Hua Qiyue could never go back.

——————————

The next day, Hua Qiyue awoke from her dreams to find Tianci watching her at the side with a grin.

“Tianci, why did you wake up so early?” Hua Qiyue was delighted, stretching out her arm to pat Tianci’s head.

“Yeah, Mom, I’m very excited. Because today, we will continue practicing the Spirit Summoning Art.” Tianci started to chuckle. Hua Qiyue suddenly remembered the mental practicing method used by Yun Shimo last night.

The mental practicing method he had practiced could be used to resist the Spirit Summoning Art. Was she right to teach Tianci the Spirit Summoning Art?

Theoretically speaking, both of them had learned the Spirit Summoning Art. Usually, the person with the higher Qi Art level would win. When fighting, the person with the lower Qi Art level would naturally be defeated.

However, the Xuanyuan Family would only pass on the Spirit Summoning Art to their closest kin. Others would not be given a chance to learn it.

Tianci’s talents could be said to be awe-inspiring. If he continued to train, he would become even more proficient than her. “Tianci, no need for such hurry. Take your time. Don’t make yourself tired, understand?”

More haste, less speed. She still understood this dictum.

Tianci nodded, but not quite able to understand it all. He held Hua Qiyue’s hand. “Mom, wash up quickly. Everyone’s waiting for you for breakfast.”

Tianci leaped down the bed. Hua Qiyue walked out with him. She indeed saw the company all sitting under the huge tree opposite the log cabins. The autumn wind soughed as the falling leaves drifted down. Xuanji, Ji Feng, and Huangfu Xuan made up a group. They sat by the stone table, quietly discussing something.

Ji Jing was placing the bowls of porridge made by Madame Yun on the table.

“Qiyue, you’re awake?” Ji Feng looked at Hua Qiyue with a smile. He found her looking quite well and was rather pleased.

He thought that after coming here. Hua Qiyue would be provoked by Yun Shimo and Princess Qianyang. He did not expect her to act so maturely.

“Hey, what were all of you discussing?” Hua Qiyue asked with a smile.

The hare was actually crouching lazily on the stone table, blinking its eyes complacently. “I have a self-invented unique skill. I let them to discuss themselves who will try out its powers first.”

Well, so this is it.

“Your self-invented unique skill? Hare, you’re great. Why don’t you practice yourself first?” Hua Qiyue gave a light smile. There must be some suspicious reason for the hare presenting them with its own unique skill.

“Errr… you are too suspicious, girl! I need to break through to the Great Completeness of Holy God!” The hare gave a cold snort. It did not seemed to want to talk to Hua Qiyue.

Xuanji gave a quiet smile. He suddenly took out a vial and handed it to the hare. “Top-grade Magic Pellet. Take it.”

The hare widened its fiery-red eyes. “What? You have the Top-grade Magic Pellet?”

“Yes. When Qianxue refined the Top-grade Magic Pellet for Qiyue, he also refined one for me. Qianxue’s cultivation has risen greatly because he has mastered the runes. He has promoted to the next level and can refine two pills at one time.” Before Xuanji could finish his words, the hare had snatched that vial away.

Meanwhile, Madame Yun and Princess Qianyang walked over. Qianyang’s face was rosy. She seemed to be in a good mood.

Behind Madame Yun was Yun Shimo. Yun Xuan rarely came out for breakfast since he was in a retreat. Usually, Madame Yun would deliver him his meals.

The three of them came to the table. They watched Ji Jing ladle out the porridge. Madame Yun praised Ji Jing with a grin.

“Hey, Shimo, why is your face a bit swollen?” Princess Qianyang finally detected a swollen patch on the left side of Yun Shimo’s face. After all, Hua Qiyue had given him a strong slap last night.

That strange power had not dissipated. Hua Qiyue’s palm had caused him so much pain that he could not sleep throughout the night. Yun Shimo took a treasured Heaven and Earth Recovery Pill and recovered a little from the palm injury behind his back.

“I’m fine… ” Yun Shimo replied quietly.

However, the others turned their glances curiously at Hua Qiyue. They could imagine Hua Qiyue slapping him.

Yun Shimo obviously would not say anything in front of everyone.

“Would you like to apply some lotion? Your face doesn’t look too good. Shimo… ” Princess Qianyang secretly cast Hua Qiyue a glance. She saw her calmly picking up some dishes for Tianci to take with his porridge. Her face looked completely unruffled.

“No need.” Yun Shimo continued to answer quietly.

The little devil, Tianci, started to make inopportune remarks. “Mom, I found you back very late last night. Where had you gone?”

For a brief moment, the eyes of the whole company turned upon Hua Qiyue.
