Chapter 171: Not for Nothing!
============================================================
"Heh, to use this world's terms, you're quite gifted—a quick learner."
"Thank you for your praise, Master's Wife."
The Immortal Lord rested her head on Ye Qinghan's chest. Ye Qinghan, in turn, began to appraise the Immortal Lord before him. This fellow was also exceptionally beautiful!
If Li Shiyao were here, she'd likely adore this master's wife.
Ye Qinghan couldn't quite explain why, but by all logic, she couldn't accept a woman becoming her master's wife.
But this woman was undeniably powerful…
Moreover, her relationship with the Master was definitely not ordinary—it certainly wasn't just a typical Dao companion bond!
She surmised that although this master's wife appeared nearly the same height as Yu Lan, looking childlike, it was highly probable she already bore her master's child!
After all, thousands of years had passed—who could say for certain?
"But if you dare breathe a word about my affairs, you know the consequences."
"Yes, yes, yes! This is Qinghan and Master's wife's secret! Qinghan is the best at keeping secrets!"
The Immortal Sovereign chuckled. These fox spirits were the most persistent creatures!
If only she could master that skill, she'd have given Su Cheng a whole brood by now!
"Heh. While I can't tell you what you wish to know, I won't let you call me 'Master' for nothing. I can teach you something truly useful!"
"Master's Wife! You're so kind to Qinghan! You're the kindest person in the world!"
Ye Qinghan had learned this too. Li Shiyao's approach might seem a bit clumsy, but it was genuinely effective—its main strength was leaving the opponent powerless to act!
"Master's Wife, Qinghan wants to learn Master's Snow Flick technique. But Master only demonstrated it once, saying it all depends on Qinghan's talent. I wonder if Master's Wife…"
"Snow-Plucking?"
"Yes, yes, that's right—Snow Flake!" Ye Qinghan watched the Immortal Lord's expression and knew she'd found the right person!
The Immortal Lord abruptly turned, staring at Ye Qinghan with utter astonishment!
In that very instant, Ye Qinghan peered down the collar and spotted something even more astonishing!
On the Immortal Master's back… there was also a spatial anchor point!
But the Immortal's movements were a bit too quick—she didn't catch the whole thing!
"This is my signature move! When did it become your master's Snow Flake technique?"
Ye Qinghan froze in surprise. Recalling when her master had imparted the sword technique to her, it seemed he had indeed mentioned that this was something he'd secretly learned…
So it was stolen from her master's wife after all!
"My apologies, Master's Wife. Qinghan was unaware of this matter. Having angered you, I humbly accept your punishment!"
The Immortal Venerable waved it off, not seeming particularly bothered.
"Let me see how much you've mastered."
Ye Qinghan smiled, pointing first at herself, then at the clothes beside her.
This was the second time Ye Qinghan had dressed herself. Now that she knew it was her master's wife, she didn't mind at all. Strangely enough, she even felt that her master's wife might be on her side!
Even if she had to sleep with the Master's wife, it wouldn't matter! Sleep when you must!
Ye Qinghan dressed herself neatly, loosening her arms. She placed her long sword at her side, lowered her stance, and prepared to demonstrate her newly mastered technique for her master's wife!
Taking a distant boulder as her target, Ye Qinghan focused intently. With a flicker of her pink lips, the words "Snow-Shattering" escaped her.
Her graceful form shot forward like a blazing bullet, shattering the boulder with a single strike!
Shaking out his arms, Ye Qinghan turned to his master's wife with excitement, eager for her guidance.
"Master's wife?"
The Immortal Sage nodded. After all, he'd touched and caressed this peerless beauty.
As the saying goes, one's mouth grows short when fed, and one's hands grow short when given gifts.
Since he was a junior, teaching him a few moves wouldn't hurt.
"Hmm, once you've warmed up, you may begin! Let's see how much you've truly learned."
"Huh?"
"What's wrong?" The Immortal Sage looked puzzled. What was this kid up to? Had he lost interest?
Ye Qinghan froze. So the Master's wife actually thought she was warming up?
"Um… Master's wife, just now…"
"You mean that sword technique? Did that jerk Su Cheng teach you that? Is that supposed to be 'Snow Flake'?"
"Uh…"
"I'm going to kill that bastard first! He ruined my reputation!" The Immortal Master started heading down the mountain…
Ye Qinghan hurriedly grabbed his master's wife and began explaining.
"Please don't be angry, Master's Wife. It's not that Master taught poorly, but rather that Qinghan lacks natural talent and has poor comprehension. It's not Master's fault."
"You're a complete waste of space!" The Immortal Master glared at him, utterly disappointed. What the hell had she taught him that he'd ended up like this?
"Please don't be angry, Master's Wife. Qinghan will work harder!"
"Work your ass off? Look in the mirror! You can't even walk properly—wagging your hips like that. Who are you trying to seduce?"
Ye Qinghan felt utterly wronged inside. She didn't do it on purpose! She was born with a seductive bone! Could she be blamed for that?
"You're absolutely right, Master's Wife. Qinghan will be more careful from now on!"
But scolding aside, Ye Qinghan's moment of opportunity had arrived. Calling her "Master's Wife" hadn't been in vain.
The Immortal Lord reached out a hand from thin air, and a transparent small cube appeared in his palm.
As if commanding all existence, he slowly closed his hand around it, as though clutching it within his palm.
When the hand opened again, the tiny cube rapidly expanded, instantly enveloping the entire area!
The heavens and earth gradually shifted color, fading into a void-like blackness, as if they had entered another dimension.
"Watch closely. This is what true snowballing looks like."
The Immortal Sovereign was about to get serious!
With the same motion as Shangguan Rou, he flicked his wrist, and a long sword appeared in his palm.
The blade was narrow and slender, its edge thin and delicate. The hilt resembled scaled armor, while the guard took the form of a beast's claw. It looked like a sword forged from a demonic beast. Though its primary color was a pure, noble silver-white, an eerie aura emanated from it.
Ye Qinghan watched intently, absorbing every movement, every breath, every glance, every grip angle—determined not to miss a single detail!
Suddenly, the diminutive figure lunged forward. With a sword strike executed in an instant—a strike that seemed to sever space itself!
Light itself warped upon contact with that sword's radiance, overwhelmed by its immense power!
In an instant, the world turned upside down. The earth beneath cracked open, resembling floating islands suspended in the void!
Yet the swordsman remained rooted to the spot. The landscape before him had been utterly reshaped—mountains and rivers severed, replaced by canyon-like ravines stretching out before him!
Ye Qinghan couldn't believe it. Was this truly not divine power?
Even the most powerful strike of the Frost-Piercing Sword Art his master had displayed in the Lingxian Hall couldn't surpass this!
And this… was a technique even mortals could master?
Ye Qinghan now truly believed it. In his understanding, absolutely no one could withstand such a strike!
"This space is too narrow. Let's just leave it at that. We've seen enough!"
"Uh… Alright, Master's wife is right…" If anyone else had said that, Ye Qinghan would've thought they were showing off. But coming from Master's wife?
It made perfect sense!
Just look at how effortlessly she pulled it off, huh?
For her, this was just a basic move! A mere casual gesture!
Master's Wife, Qinghan finally gets it now—you really are amazing. If you had this kind of skill, you should've said so earlier!
There was no need to take off her clothes at all!
Even with her clothes on, Qinghan could see how amazing the master's wife is!
"So, have you learned it?"
"Huh?"
"You still haven't gotten it? I even slowed down my movements on purpose, worried you wouldn't see clearly!"
Ye Qinghan thought to himself, Seeing that would be impossible!
