Chapter 9 Wife, Are You Asleep? (1/2)
Chapter 9 – Wife, Are You Asleep?
He had married such a beautiful wife yet on his wedding night, he could not touch, caress any part of her body, or even sleep on his own bed. He could only silently hug his knees as he leaned against a wall in the corner of his room…
Xiao Che now had really felt the maliciousness of this world.
The red candlelight reflected against this newly transformed room, making it seem lovely. The two people in red dress entered a long silence, one sat at the edge of the bed and the other huddled pitifully in the corner. The only sound heard during this dragging silence was the vague sound of their breathing.
After a while, Xiao Che finally could not help but say: “You will not….really make me stay here all night?
Xia Qingyue’s long eyelashes fluttered and the graceful curve of her body turned slightly to lie down on the bed. She released the scarlet curtain and it fell, hanging down. Xiao Che could only make out her vague blurry shadow under the dim candlelight. Suddenly, Xia Qingyue waved her hands and a cold windy breeze extinguished the two red candles simultaneously….making Xiao Che sit in the dark shadows of the room.
“……” If it wasn’t impossible for him to beat this woman, even though she was as cold as her appearance, he still would have jumped her.
“I was just joking earlier. Not only am I not drunk, I did not even drink one sip this entire afternoon…. You can’t even take a little joke, you have no sense of humor.” Xiao Che resentfully muttered.
“I knew you weren’t drunk.” Xia Qingyue replied coldly: “But I really hate men who could defecate and urinate anywhere.”
Defecate and urinate… anywhere?
Could it be… when he was trying to get the wine out of the Sky Poison Pearl?
F*ck!!
Xiao Che’s eyes widened as he jumped up from his corner: “You said that I indiscriminately urinate anywhere? Which eye did you see that with! You only heard the sound of me pouring wine! Pouring wine… pouring the wine! As a dignified man of the Xiao Clan, I would never do something as uncultured and filthy as that. You are allowed to look down on my Profound power but not insult my noble character and personality!!”
A little white after Xiao Che roared at her, he heard the leisurely sound of Xia Qingyue’s voice: “I was only joking too.”
“! # $… ” Xiao Che had almost vomited out his blood.
Depressed, Xiao Che went back to his corner and became silent again… This woman really knew how to joke around!!
Usually he would sleep comfortably in his bed but on his wedding night, he had to sleep in a corner… There was no way he could fall asleep! After holding in for a long time, Xiao Che let out his voice again: “So, when are you going back to Frozen Cloud Asgard? Tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow?”
Xia Qingyue: “!?”
Xiao Che laughed with a light expression and calmly explained: “Although I know very little about the ways of Frozen Cloud Asgard, I do know that they only accept women. Emotions of love are forbidden and they all have to be chaste. There are countless beautiful women in Frozen Cloud Asgard and I have never heard of anyone there getting married. But you married me. Looks like even among the people of Frozen Cloud Asgard, your talent and gifts are a rarity. You are perhaps a talent that they have only seen once in hundreds of years. Otherwise, why else would they break such a precedent in your favor?”
Xia Qingyue: “……”
Xiao Che raised his head and looked up at the darkness of his ceiling and continued: “For someone like you, they would do all they can to recruit you into their Frozen Cloud Asgard in the shortest time possible. There must be countless strong practitioners that study the way of the Profound that an ordinary person would never see in their entire lifetime, and countless treasures as well. Under these circumstances, your Profound power and status would sky rocket. You are probably going to leave soon, am I right?
Xia Qingyue remained silent for a long time. After a while, she answered in a vague voice: “In a month.”
“A month?” Xiao Che’s surprised expression became a smile as he lowered his head and whispered: “Thank you.”
Xia Qingyue: “?”
“You must have asked them for this month. I doubt that Frozen Cloud Asgard would willingly let you delay your recruitment and let you stay with a useless person like me against your wishes. One month is quite a long time and you are their treasured talent. In the future, you may even reach the same level and even be on par with the Mistress of Frozen Cloud Asgard. Others may laugh at me, mock me, and never put me in their eyes, but someone like you who would improve to unimaginable lengths in the future, was willing to marry me. You tried to protect and maintain the pride of a laughable man like me… Although I know you are doing this to repay my late father’s kindness, I thank you just the same.”
“No need.” Xia Qingyue answered unemotionally. But her heart slightly shifted inside her as she became slightly moved by what he had said. He was not wrong at all, for even her master told her that talents like her were as rare as can be even in Frozen Cloud Asgard. Her master even said that once Xia Qingyue entered Frozen Cloud Asgard, she was confident that she could breakthrough the Profound Spirit Realm and even reach the Profound Earth Realm… A level that not even the number one practitioner in Floating Cloud City, Xiao Lie, could reach.
Reaching the Profound Earth Realm before the age of twenty… To the people of Floating Cloud City, that was an unimaginable feat.
“Before I married you, I thought you would be like all those people who hold me in contempt and ignore me, but you are better than I thought you would be. Not only are you beautiful, you are also talented and kind. As a woman, you can be considered to be flawlessly perfect.
Xia Qingyue: “……”
“Well, since you are so kind, you certainly won’t let your husband sleep in the corner on your wedding night, right? My bed is quite large and it definitely would not be crowded if two people slept on it….”
