After we got married, I relied on my cheap husband to get promoted.

Chapter 45 Return 3
  Zhong Lixiu: "It's all what I should do."

Master Ming Ling and Zhong Lixiu were chatting aside. Cheng Jiuge handed the book "Research on Soil Issues of Wuji Sword Sect and Nanli Medicine Sect" to Xiao Cheng, "Brother, take a look at this too. I am in Wuji Sword Sect. When I was planting spiritual plants, I found insects growing on them. I couldn’t kill the insects even with insecticidal elixirs. I looked at them and it seemed like there was a soil problem.”

Cheng Jiuge took out another small bottle with that kind of bug in it, "This is it. Senior brother, how do you kill this kind of bug? It was obvious that there was not one at the beginning, but I saw it when I came back from Nanhai City."

Xiao Cheng took the insect and examined it for a long time. "It looks a bit like a black returning insect."

Cheng Jiuge was puzzled: "This insect is obviously white. How can it be called a black insect?"

Xiao Cheng: "When it is full, it will turn black." He took out a cultivating spiritual liquid and poured it directly into the bottle. The black return insect in the bottle quickly sucked the spiritual liquid and slowly expanded, Then it turned black.

Venerable Ming Ling turned around and glanced, "It's the Black Returning Insect. Let your senior brother make a spiritual liquid specifically designed to kill the Black Returning Insect. You can take it back, mix it with water and sprinkle it on the soil. In the soil of Wuji Sword Sect It contains a lot of gold elements, and black return insects like gold elements the most.”

Xiao Cheng: "Master is right, fire kryptonifies gold. In fact, burning the soil with fire is also effective. But I will prepare some spiritual liquid and you can take it back, once and for all."

"Okay, thank you, senior brother."

Cheng Jiuge asked some more questions about alchemy, and Xiao Cheng next to her kept answering her questions carefully. The two of them were very close.

Over there, Venerable Ming Ling and Zhong Lixiu were discussing Taoist issues. When he turned around and saw this, he suddenly frowned. If it were before, he would have thought that the senior brother and junior sister had a good relationship, but now Jiuge has become a Taoist couple. The Taoist monk is still here...

"Ahem, Jiu Ge, if you have any questions, you can ask the master."

Cheng Jiuge raised his head: "No need, master, you and your husband can discuss your questions. Senior brother can answer my questions for me. Don't you still believe me? If you don't understand, we will ask you again."

Venerable Ming Ling: "Speaking of which, Jiu Ge, how are you studying swordsmanship in the Wuji Sword Sect? Why don't you go out and practice with your master?"

Cheng Jiuge scratched his head and said, "That's okay."

The four of them walked to the yard outside the door. Cheng Jiuge drew out his sword and started directly from the first move of Wuji Sword Technique. The sword energy was compelling, the sound of the sword was green, and every move was full of sword intent. Not far away. The leaves are falling...

Venerable Ming Ling suddenly said in surprise: "Jiuge, have you reached the foundation-building stage of Dzogchen?"

Xiao Cheng: "I forgot to tell you, Master, that Junior Sister forcibly advanced when she was in Nanhai City, and she was injured at the time."

Cheng Jiuge came over after the demonstration, "I'm fine. The main reason was that I encountered a demon general at the time and absorbed spiritual power too quickly."

Lord Ming Ling: "Demon General?"

Zhong Lixiu: "Yes, it should have been Demon General Li Xie at that time."

Venerable Ming Ling: "Jiu Ge is lucky to have escaped from him."

Cheng Jiuge looked at Zhong Lixiu, "I have to thank my husband for showing up in time. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to kill him. Well, actually, it was my husband who seriously injured him and I was just a last-ditch wound."

Xiao Cheng touched her head and said, "You are already very powerful in the foundation building stage. Senior brother may not be able to kill him even in the golden elixir stage."

Cheng Jiuge: "Haha, thank you for your encouragement, senior brother. I will continue to get stronger."

Venerable Ming Ling: "Now that you have improved your cultivation, I am very happy for you as a teacher, but you must not slack off in your cultivation in the Wuji Sword Sect in the future. If you have any questions, remember to ask Huai Zhi."

Cheng Jiuge: "I know, master."

Later, both Master Ming Ling and senior brother Xiao Cheng were busy. Cheng Jiuge brought Zhong Lixiu to the room where she used to live, "Are you tired? If you are tired, take a rest first."

Zhong Lixiu shook his head.

Cheng Jiuge: "Okay, I want to rest."

Zhong Lixiu: "I'll sit outside the door while you rest."

Cheng Jiuge: "Yeah." When Xiao Cheng came over with the food, he saw Zhong Lixiu sitting on a chair at the door with his eyes closed and concentrating. His junior sister didn't know where she was. He thought she might be in the room.

When Xiao Cheng came over, Zhong Lixiu immediately opened his eyes, "Senior brother."

Xiao Cheng: "Where is Jiu Ge? I brought her food. My junior sister is relatively young and has not yet decided her temper. She likes to eat. I hope you won't find her troublesome."

Zhong Lixiu looked at the lunch box in his hand, "She is resting in it... In the Wuji Sword Sect, someone will bring her three meals a day."

Xiao Cheng: "That's good, please, I'll bring her the food in first."

Cheng Jiuge inside got up when she heard the sound. She looked at her and said, "Brother, I'm awake."

Xiao Cheng walked in, "Are you hungry? Eat first."

Cheng Jiuge walked over and opened the lunch box, and looked at Xiao Cheng with a smile: "Thank you, senior brother, it's all my favorite food."

She looked at Zhong Lixiu on the side again, "Do you want to eat?"

Xiao Chenggang wanted to say that he only prepared hers, mainly because he thought that Zhong Lixiu should have stopped eating. Some people with higher cultivation levels would think that food contains impurities, even if it is made from spiritual plants and spiritual meat.

But the next second Li Xiu said "Okay."

Xiao Cheng was surprised. Cheng Jiuge had already taken out a pair of bowls and chopsticks, "Senior brother, do you want to eat?"

Xiao Cheng: "You guys eat it. Senior brother will go and make the spiritual liquid for you first and let you take it back. I will also write out the method of making the spiritual liquid for you to take back. If there is no more spiritual liquid in the future, you can make it yourself."

"Okay, thank you, senior brother."

Xiao Cheng looked at her with a smile, "Then senior brother leaves first."

"Uh-huh."

Xiao Cheng and Zhong Lixiu nodded and left.

At night, Cheng Jiuge suddenly felt that she had made a mistake, because she only had one room here. Although the two of them had only one room in the inn before, it was outside.

Forget it, they are all Taoists, so it doesn’t matter if they are in one room. When everyone is exercising outside, it doesn’t matter if there are many people in the same room.

So when Cheng Jiuge came back from washing outside, he lay down directly on the bed. She also lay down inside and patted the place next to her, "Come here and rest."

Zhong Lixiu, who had been sitting on the stool all night:...

Cheng Jiuge: "Come here! I only have one room here. I feel sorry for you. Come here!" He patted the room next to him.

Seeing Zhong Lixiu still sitting still, she was puzzled, "Are you disgusted with me?"

Zhong Lixiu stood up and walked over, "No." Then he lay down next to her upright.

Cheng Jiuge lay inside covered with a quilt, "Go to sleep."

After a while, she fell asleep. Zhong Lixiu could still hear her slight breathing. He kept his eyes open for a while before slowly closing them.

Both of them slept in a regular manner on the bed. Zhong Lixiu kept lying flat with his hand on his lower abdomen and did not move at all. Cheng Jiuge slept under the quilt and did not move much.

There was only one quilt for each bed, and Cheng Jiuge was covering him. Zhong Lixiu didn't have a quilt, but he didn't need a quilt either.
