Chapter 172: The Master's Wife Doesn't Understand Tenderness
============================================================
Ye Qinghan felt a pang of injustice. She was a prodigy, after all!
Her whole life, wherever she went, she was a prodigy!
Whatever others could do, she could do too!
But this sword technique of the Master's wife? She really couldn't manage it…
"Looks like it wasn't that jerk Su Cheng teaching you poorly—you genuinely lack talent!"
Ye Qinghan was stunned. Who could possibly learn this?
She couldn't even see it clearly!
The moment the master's sword flashed, the ground beneath her feet shattered. She could barely stay upright!
In that same instant, the sword qi erupted in a blinding white light, like a flashbang grenade! Ye Qinghan felt like she'd gone blind!
As for how fast the Master's wife was—it was just like that time with the Master on Panlong Mountain. She teleported instantly, and this time, it was even faster!
Honestly, Ye Qinghan couldn't even tell if it was a thrust or a slash—it was just… incredible!
"Master's wife said…"
But facing a Divine Sovereign like the Master's wife, that was indeed a flaw in his innate talent…
"But you only got lucky facing me. Even if you were a piece of mud, I'd still smear you on the wall!"
As she spoke, the Immortal Sovereign gestured for Ye Qinghan to try again.
With such an opportunity, Ye Qinghan naturally wouldn't pass it up. Master's wife possessed such divine prowess—if not for his status as a direct disciple of the master, he doubted anyone else would even catch her eye!
He struck a pose, recalling his master's wife's earlier movements, preparing to replicate her form.
But no sooner had she assumed the posture than the Immortal Master called out to stop.
Before she could react, she saw her master's wife approach with a small wooden stick, aiming it squarely at her backside!
"Who are you trying to seduce, sticking your butt out like that?"
"Clench those paws tighter!"
"Spread your legs… Dammit, you don't need to spread them that wide!"
With that, the wooden stick landed another stinging blow on her backside!
Honestly, it fucking hurt!
Master’s guidance was far gentler…
Master’s words… surely meant… with your talent, no further explanation is needed…
But to master this skill, she had to endure the pain. Ye Qinghan reminded herself she wasn't some delicate little girl anymore—she was grown up now!
"Imagine snowflakes landing on the blade…"
"Damn it, I could hammer you to death! Why are you staring at me like that while I'm telling you to imagine?"
Ye Qinghan snapped back to attention, visualizing snowflakes drifting from the sky onto the sword's edge as the Immortal Master had instructed…
"I told you to imagine it, not to close your eyes and fall asleep!"
Ye Qinghan felt the sting on her butt and scrambled to explain.
"Master's wife, Qinghan was imagining! Please don't hit me yet! Ouch~ That hurts!"
Hearing this, the Immortal Master grabbed the willow branch and struck again.
"Feeling pain is good—it means you're still alive!"
Ye Qinghan held the posture for half an hour. He didn't feel tired, but his buttocks felt swollen.
Then the Immortal Master began explaining to Ye Qinghan how to generate power with this technique, and Ye Qinghan listened intently.
"It's like… whoosh~ then boom! Got it?"
Ye Qinghan was utterly dumbfounded. What kind of bullshit explanation was that?
Who in their right mind could possibly understand that?
"Got it! Master's wife!"
Just as Ye Qinghan was speechless, he spotted Su Muchan returning!
"Damn it, you're still here?!"
"Yeah, I thought about it and decided to go back with you."
The Immortal Lord glared at Su Muchan and slapped her!
"What the hell are you yelling for! You scared the crap out of me!"
Well, you know what? It really worked!
This master's wife is something else. That willow switch in her hands—when she says she's going to spank Su Muchan's bottom, it absolutely won't land anywhere else!
Two swats and Su Muchan was straightened out!
"Hey, you think you're tough? What happened to your toughness now?"
Ye Qinghan had barely opened her mouth when she saw the Immortal Sovereign turn his head and glare at her. She immediately fell silent.
The Immortal Master delivered a kick to Su Muchan's rear: "Didn't you say you understood? Now show me what you know!"
Su Muchan genuinely believed she understood!
It was just whoosh~ boom!
He'd been watching for ages! How hard could it be?
Under Ye Qinghan's stunned gaze, Su Muchan struck a pose. It must be said, all that time spent secretly observing hadn't been wasted!
Her imitation was remarkably lifelike, almost convincing!
Su Muchan's expression turned stern, her enchanting little face now radiating "three parts cool detachment and seven parts nonchalance." She radiated confidence, utterly assured of her success!
And that's exactly how she felt!
Then came the sword strike!
"Whoosh~ Boom!"
Su Muchan leapt forward, her blade cleaving the boulder before her in two!
Ye Qinghan was utterly dumbfounded. Wasn't this just lip-syncing?
Not only Ye Qinghan was stunned, but the Immortal Sovereign was too…
"Stick your ass out—don't make me chase you down!"
The Immortal Sovereign's face darkened. The thought of her signature move falling into the hands of these two troublemakers made her wish she could beat them into submission before they dared use it again…
Su Muchan's face screamed impossibility. How could this be?
Wasn't this exactly what the Master's Wife had instructed?
Whoosh~ Boom!
Exactly right!
"Wrong! Master's wife! Spare me! Ah!"
Just watching made Ye Qinghan's legs tremble…
The master's wife really showed no mercy! As long as it didn't kill him, she beat him mercilessly!
Su Muchan was starting to regret it. She wasn't stupid—she figured getting beaten a bit was worth it if she could learn real skills!
But now she felt she couldn't take it anymore!
Her butt was already numb!
This Master's Wife truly showed no mercy! Anyone witnessing this scene would likely assume it was brutal interrogation, with Su Muchan being a stubborn bone who refused to speak even at the cost of her life!
But in truth, if Su Muchan knew any secrets, she'd have spilled them all by now!
"Get over there and stand!"
"Yes…"
Ye Qinghan shot Su Muchan a mocking glance. "You love to meddle? Feeling better now?"
Su Muchan couldn't be bothered to spar with Ye Qinghan anymore. Her butt was too sore to even touch!
Even a breeze sent waves of pain through her!
The Immortal Sovereign turned his head, glaring at Ye Qinghan as if contemplating how to find an excuse to beat him up…
Ye Qinghan shivered unexpectedly, then returned a smile to the Immortal Sovereign…
"What are you grinning at?" A vicious kick nearly sent Ye Qinghan flying…
Kicked flying a good distance away—in the city, that’d be two subway stops out, way past the taxi base fare!
Ye Qinghan scrambled to his feet, too exhausted to care.
If you've got the guts, kill me. If you don't, then you're a decent master's wife~
With a flick of his wrist, he summoned his flying sword and soared back…
And so, the two of them, each wielding a sword, performed like acrobats, practicing before the Immortal Sovereign.
They held this stance for a full day and night. Truth be told, Ye Qinghan was growing curious—after all this time, his master hadn't even sent a single message!
Later, he remembered—the jade pendant had been confiscated by his master's wife along with his magical artifact from the very beginning!
But why hadn't the Master come looking for them all this time?
Ye Qinghan turned to glance at Su Muchan beside him. The moment he twisted his head to speak, a searing pain shot through his backside!
"Want to chat? I'll keep you company. How about it?"
"Heh heh, how could this junior dare?"
Truth be told, over the past day and night, the two of them had only swung their swords three times. The rest of the time, they'd maintained this exact posture. Frankly, Ye Qinghan didn't see the point of it.
"After all this time, I'm exhausted even if you two aren't! Do as I said—go back and practice diligently. Study on your own. Don't just grow a brain without using it!"
