When the middle-aged male cultivator left, Qin Gengyun exhaled a big breath, his whole body went limp, and he almost sat down on the ground.
In his previous life, he was just an ordinary worker and rarely fought with others.
In this life, he was just a low-level casual cultivator. He had to do his best to survive and had never fought against anyone.
What's more, the person he faced just now was a monk at the fifth level of Qi training, two levels higher than him!
That kind of coercion alone can make people feel frightened and their souls tremble.
"Fellow Daoist Qin, are you okay?"
Noila Mo came over, her forehead was covered with sweat, but her body was still upright, as if nothing could make her bend down.
Qin Gengyun shook his head and gasped: "Fellow Daoist Mo, it turns out that Senior Zhou wanted to force you to marry him? Why didn't you tell me?"
Noila Mo smiled bitterly: "Fellow Daoist Qin, I didn't want to implicate you, but I didn't expect to involve you anyway. I'm sorry."
Qin Gengyun was silent for a moment and said seriously: "Fellow Daoist Mo, I walked in on my own."
Noila Mo was startled and looked up at him. A hint of panic flashed in her red phoenix eyes. She quickly turned her head to avoid Qin Gengyun's eyes and cupped her hands and said:
"Anyway, thank you so much, Fellow Daoist Qin, for today! I will definitely repay you in the future!"
"What's the point of repaying this? Fellow Daoist Mo, you might as well give yourself to me!" At this time, the escaped Daoist Huang put the stall back and joked with a smile.
The surroundings also became lively again, as if nothing had happened.
It is common for disputes to occur in night markets, and it is not uncommon. People who ran away just now are back.
After Huang Daoyou finished speaking, several nearby stall owners also laughed:
"I think Fellow Daoist Mo and this fellow Daoist Qin look like a couple. Don't forget to treat me to a wedding banquet then!"
Others also started making noises. Noila Mo glanced at Qin Gengyun and quickly explained:
"Fellow Daoist Qin and I are just neighbors. We are innocent. Moreover, Fellow Daoist Qin already has a wife. You guys, please don't let Fellow Daoist Qin's wife misunderstand and make things difficult for him."
When the others heard what she said, they stopped joking and went about their business.
"I'm sorry, Fellow Daoist Qin, they were just joking, don't mind."
Noila Mo smoothed her slightly messy hair around her ears and said apologetically to Qin Gengyun.
"It's okay." Qin Gengyun was also a little embarrassed and quickly changed the topic:
"By the way, Fellow Daoist Mo, this is the elixir I made."
Then he took out the sixty elixirs and fifty bags of Qingfeng powder and handed them to Noila Mo.
"Fellow Daoist Qin, are you so fast?"
Noila Mo was surprised and said to Qin Gengyun:
"The man from the treasure hunting team just came to ask me, please wait a moment, I will give him the elixir, and then I will give you the spiritual stone."
Mo Xiaolan said something and left in a hurry. After a stick of incense, Mo Xiaolan came back, looked around, and whispered:
"Fellow Daoist Qin, wait until I pack my things and we'll go back together and talk about it on the way."
Afterwards, he quickly put away the stall and walked out of the night market with Qin Gengyun towards Zhaiyu Alley.
On the way, 510 spiritual stones were handed over to him: "60 pills, each with 6 spiritual stones, 50 bags of Qingfeng powder, each bag with 3 spiritual stones, a total of 510 spiritual stones."
"Thank you!" Qin Gengyun took the spirit stone, was silent for a moment, and suddenly asked:
"Fellow Daoist Mo, why is that Senior Zhou so persistent with you?"
Noila Mo was startled, tightened the thin fleece jacket that was not thick, lowered her head and said quietly:
"Senior Zhou's name is Zhou Kun. It is said that he advanced to the fifth level of Qi training ten years ago, but after that he could no longer break through. Later, he found a secret book of dual cultivation from somewhere."
"The secret method of dual cultivation?" Qin Gengyun was surprised: "Aren't the secret methods of dual cultivation mastered by the three major sects? Where did he get it?"
"I don't know either." Noila Mo shook her head and continued:
"This dual cultivation secret method requires that both men and women have the same spiritual roots to practice. Zhou Kun has the three spiritual roots of metal, wood, and earth, so he chose me."
Qin Gengyun was silent, Mo Xiaolan had the three spiritual roots of metal, wood, and earth. No wonder Zhou Kun wanted to marry her. It turned out that he regarded her as a tool for dual cultivation.
"But there are also many female monks with the three spiritual roots of metal, wood, and earth in Yunling Town, right? Since you have refused, why are Zhou Kun still so persistent?"
Hearing Qin Gengyun's question, Noila Mo bit her red lips lightly, feeling helpless:
"Zhou Kun said...even though they are two monks, he also wants to find a better-looking one."
"This is clearly motivated by sex!" Qin Gengyun said angrily.
"You have refused like this, and he still wants to push you so hard. It's too much!"
Noila Mo smiled bitterly: "The weak prey on the strong, that's how this world is. It's only because of my low cultivation level that I couldn't protect myself, and now I'm hurting you."
Qin Gengyun waved his hand: "Fellow Daoist Mo, there is no need to talk about this between you and me. What are your plans in the future?"
"Zhou Kun will go to the Northern Wasteland to explore treasures in a few days. He will not come back for as long as half a year or a few years. He has no time to take care of me for the time being. I will take advantage of this period to earn some more spiritual stones and move out before he comes back. If he can’t find me in Yunling Town, he will naturally not make things difficult for others.”
Noila Mo looked down at the orchids embroidered on her left shoulder. Qin Gengyun couldn't see her expression, but he felt inexplicably depressed.
After a moment of silence, he took out a hundred spirit stones and handed them to Noila Mo:
"Fellow Daoist Mo, without your channels, I wouldn't be able to earn so many spiritual stones. Please accept these."
Noila Mo immediately refused: "Fellow Daoist Qin, you worked hard to refine those pills. I have already earned fifty spiritual stones from them. Taking any more would be receiving salary for nothing, absolutely not!"
She was resolute, but Qin Gengyun had no choice but to take back the spirit stone. The two quickly returned to Zhaiyu Lane and stood in the lane between the doors of their houses. Mo Xiaolan said:
"Fellow Daoist Qin, thank you very much for today! I will deal with Zhou Kun's matter myself. You should also be more careful and go out less these days. Once Zhou Kun goes to Beihuang, everything will be fine."
Qin Gengyun felt a little uncomfortable and didn't know what to say, so he could only nod.
"correct."
Noila Mo took two steps and suddenly turned back and said:
"That sword talisman..."
Qin Gengyun knew what she meant and replied: "My wife gave it to me."
"That's it."
Noila Mo was silent for a moment, with a flower-like smile on her face:
"Fellow Daoist Qin, you have married a good woman, so you must treat her well."
After saying that, he entered the house.
Qin Gengyun stood quietly for a long time and finally turned around and entered his house.
This time he went out and earned another 510 spirit stones. Logically speaking, he should be happy.
But at this moment, he couldn't be happy no matter what.
The weak eat the strong, and the strong can bully the weak at will. This is the rule of this world of immortal cultivation that he has long known.
However, if he really watched Noila Mo being forced to leave Yunling Town, or being forcibly married as a concubine by Zhou Kun.
What should he do?
