Chapter 401 - 60: The Jealous Pot Begins Its Reckoning
"Finally, here comes a showdown between two perverts!"
"If you’d told me before the competition started that these two would be fighting for the championship, I’d have thought you were crazy!"
"But they really are perverts!"
"I just want to see if Ruo Mei is better at stabbing, or if He Zhiqiu can take more hits!"
"Whoa, Junior Sister Ruo has such a murderous aura!"
Just as the disciples outside the arena said, Ruo Mei usually seemed delicate and weak when competing, but now her expression was ice-cold, her gaze at Qin Gengyun filled with murderous intent.
Qin Gengyun also sensed Ruo Mei’s killing intent, puzzled at heart, and cupped his hands:
"Junior Sister Ruo, you’ve finally arrived, please enlighten me."
His words immediately caused an uproar among the watching disciples.
"What do you mean ’finally arrived’? Are you also interested in Junior Sister Ruo?"
"Is it strange for a pervert to take an interest in another pervert?"
"Damn it, this He Zhiqiu wins a fight and flirts with a beauty in every match, that’s too much!"
"Wasn’t Lan Yin male in the last match?"
"But isn’t Lan Yin even more attractive than the girls?"
"Oh crap, it really is true!"
The crowd began chattering away, while Ruo Mei’s expression grew even colder, and she snorted:
"Does Senior Brother He have a wife?"
Qin Gengyun was intrigued and stared closely at Ruo Mei, smiling as he replied:
"I have a wife."
Ruo Mei snorted coldly: "Since you have a wife, why do you flirt around?"
Qin Gengyun was stunned, asking oddly: "When did I flirt around?"
Ruo Mei glared at him coldly, starting to settle accounts: "That day at the Rock Conference, Senior Brother He recklessly charged into the Rock Array, defeating Senior Sister Steward, so brave! I thought I’d finally found a fellow Body Cultivator, only to realize that you were using your muscles to charm all the Senior Sisters and Junior Sisters watching."
"That’s not all; at night, Senior Brother He went to the Husband Selection Hot Spring, took off his clothes for the Junior Sisters to see."
"Even during such an important Outer Sect competition, Senior Brother He catches a beauty’s eye with every step and match, isn’t that flirting around?"
Everyone around was speechless, instinctively glancing at Zhou Ling’Er and Xu Caihe in the corner watching.
Both were stunned, not expecting to be mentioned despite being eliminated, Xu Caihe coldly snorted:
"Junior Sister Ruo, don’t tarnish someone’s innocence; He Zhiqiu, such a brute, is beneath my notice!"
Ruo Mei coolly looked at her: "You indeed don’t notice him, only got pinned to the ground and ravaged!"
"You!"
Xu Caihe’s face turned red, yet she was unable to retort. Yesterday, she indeed crawled all over after getting beaten by He Zhiqiu, unable to resist at all.
"Hey, Third Sister, isn’t this Ruo Mei just like our mistress?"
Liu Su couldn’t help but transmit sound to Mo Xiaolan.
The mistress was typically like this too, quick to jealousy and protective; only she could talk about her husband, if anyone else dared to utter a word, they’d receive a retort or worse, get attacked.
This Ruo Mei was the same, allowing only herself to settle accounts of her husband’s "romantic escapades," but forbidding others from criticizing him at all.
In the arena, Qin Gengyun suddenly said: "Junior Sister Ruo, how do you know I went to the hot spring that night at the Rock Conference?"
Ruo Mei scoffed: "This ugly incident has long spread, if you don’t believe me, ask the people here, who doesn’t know about the Husband Selection Hot Spring?"
Qin Gengyun looked at the surrounding Outer Sect disciples, feeling countless teasing gazes. Someone cheerfully chimed in:
"Junior Brother He, so you were there that night too?"
"No need to feel embarrassed, I’ve been to that hot spring too, indeed it’s a beautiful, charming place!"
Qin Gengyun was left speechless, asking Ruo Mei: "So, Junior Sister Ruo didn’t go to Hot Spring Valley that night?"
Ruo Mei angrily replied: "Who do you think I am?! Why would I go to such a place!"
Qin Gengyun asked again: "Since Junior Sister Ruo is so pure and proud, why do you focus solely on me?"
Ruo Mei was momentarily stunned, when she came up just now her heart was full of jealousy, unable to suppress it, wishing to teach her unruly husband a harsh lesson!
That’s why she couldn’t help recounting.
Now, upon calming down, she realized her behavior was inappropriate. Her beautiful eyes lifted slightly, a hint of bashful and annoyed charm appeared on her face:
"At the Rock Conference, when I saw Senior Brother He’s bravery, I regarded you as a kindred spirit, but who knew you were so wayward, not genuinely focused on being a Body Cultivator!"
The surroundings echoed with a unified "Oh," many faces revealing understanding and disappointment.
"So Junior Sister Ruo secretly likes this He Zhiqiu?"
"Damn it, I just started a relationship only to get dumped!"
"It figures, only a pervert can attract another pervert!"
"You’d better know, even males find Senior Brother He’s firm physique confusing!"
Qin Gengyun looked at Ruo Mei in surprise: "Junior Sister Ruo, are you serious?"
He couldn’t believe such probing led to this result, that Ruo Mei indeed developed feelings for him during that Rock Conference?
So she really isn’t his wife?
But earlier, her jealous demeanor exactly matched his wife’s!
On the high platform, Su Xin spoke: "Junior Brother He, Junior Sister Ruo, it’s time to start the competition."
This is the Outer Sect competition, not a place for romance and jealousy.
Qin Gengyun cupped his hands to Ruo Mei: "Junior Sister Ruo, please make your move."
In the end, close quarter engagement will determine whether Ruo Mei truly is his wife.
She is a Body Cultivator, naturally needing to engage closely.
Now you can’t escape, right?
However, Ruo Mei did not approach Qin Gengyun; instead, she flew back, retreating several feet, her sword swirled up to hover above her head.
"Sword Control?"
"Is it strange? The Supreme As-Heart Sword includes the Sword Control Chapter."
"But Junior Sister Ruo is a Body Cultivator!"
The Outer Sect disciples were quite surprised, as Ruo Mei’s slender finger moved, the overhead Flying Sword swiftly stabbed towards Qin Gengyun.
"Good attack!"
Qin Gengyun shouted, unmoving, allowing the Flying Sword to strike him, producing a clanging sound.
Next, the sword frenziedly stabbed around Qin Gengyun, the constant clanging like reverberating iron sounds.
See what happens when you flirt everywhere, when you attract everyone, attack you, just attack you!
Xia Qinglian bit her lip, angrily guiding the Flying Sword to stab into Qin Gengyun repeatedly.
Though irritated, she maintained control, ensuring the Flying Sword’s attacks stayed within Qin Gengyun’s tolerance.
Qin Gengyun suddenly spoke: "Junior Sister Ruo, your Flying Sword isn’t effective, we’re both Body Cultivators, how about a close-quarter comparison?"
Xia Qinglian coldly retorted: "Lewd! Who wants to engage closely with you?"
Qin Gengyun was bewildered, how am I lewd now?
The Flying Sword’s stabbing quickened, many disciples were unable to follow its trajectory.
"Isn’t Junior Sister Ruo a Body Cultivator? Her Sword-Control technique is so strong too?"
"He Zhiqiu is strong too; after being stabbed for so long, he remains unfazed!"
Suddenly, with a clang, the Long Sword finally couldn’t endure more, broke into two pieces, and fell to the ground.
Qin Gengyun was overjoyed, looking at Ruo Mei, now you can only engage closely with me, right?
