Something’s Wrong With My Wife

Chapter 100: Advancement in Soul Cultivation

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

It was 9 pm.

A silver moon rose high in the heavens.

Luo Qingzhou cultivated his internal cultivation technique on the bed for a while.

Seeing that it was about time, he sat cross-legged and meditated, getting his soul out of his body.

He first cultivated the Thunder Fist in his room for an hour.

Then, he passed through the roof and floated into the air, flying toward the Mandarin Duck Restaurant.

He said that he was busy last night, and the soul senior seemed a little unhappy.

He should chat a little longer with her tonight.

There was no wind or snow tonight, and the moon was bright.

It was a good night for storytelling.

When Luo Qingzhou flew to Mandarin Duck Restaurant, the moon-white figure was already standing on the eaves.

She seemed to be waiting for him.

The red bead on the roof had already been covered by the snow-white handkerchief.

Luo Qingzhou floated over and landed behind her. He lowered his head and said respectfully, “Senior, sorry to keep you waiting.”

The moon-white figure looked at him and was silent for a moment. Then, she said in an ethereal voice, “Is there anyone waiting at home tonight?”

Luo Qingzhou hesitated for a moment before lowering his head. “Yes, but I can go back later tonight.”

The moon-white figure looked at him through the hazy light. “Oh? Why?”

Luo Qingzhou said, “My wife is already asleep. She doesn’t need me to accompany her anymore.”

The white figure was hidden in the halo, so he could not see the expression on her face. He could only feel that she was looking at him.

There was another moment of silence.

She then said, “Tell me. Start from the beginning.”

Start from the beginning again?

Luo Qingzhou hesitated for a moment and said, “Senior, if you want to memorize it, why don’t I write it down for you tomorrow night?”

He really did not want to be a repeater anymore.

During the day, he was treated as a repeater. After telling a story here, he had to go there and repeat the same story.

Now that he was a soul, he was treated as a repeater once more. On top of that, he had to repeat the same parts every night.

He could not take it anymore.

“No need. You read it.”

The moon-white figure rejected his suggestion.

Luo Qingzhou sighed secretly and did not dare to say anything else. He could only read it again.

“The divine root conceives and the spring breaks forth. As the heart’s nature is cultivated, the great way arises. Before chaos was divided, Heaven and Earth were one. All was a shapeless blur, and no man had appeared. Ever since Pangu broke through the Primordial Chaos, the separation of good and bad began…’

The moon-white figure’s expression was solemn as she held his breath and listened attentively. The moonlight-like light on her body flickered slightly, like a bright lamp in the attic.

However, it was difficult to see with the naked eye.

When Luo Qingzhou said the part about the stone monkey crossing the sea and preparing to find a master to be his disciple, Luo Qingzhou started from the beginning again and repeated it three times.

After the fourth time, he finally could not help but bid farewell. “Senior, it’s getting late. I’m going home.”

The white figure stood on the eaves. After a moment of silence, she looked at him and said, “Tell me again.”

Luo Qingzhou was at a loss for words.

The roof suddenly fell silent. No one spoke.

Swoosh!

Right at this moment, the handkerchief covering the red bead on the roof suddenly floated up.

Then, a red light suddenly shot out of the red bead and instantly enveloped Luo Qingzhou!

An intense pain suddenly assaulted him!

Luo Qingzhou was caught off guard. His soul froze and was locked in place. Then, it trembled violently and cracks began to appear.

Waves of intense pain from his body being torn apart continuously came from every part of his soul!

His vision began to darken. He wanted to speak, to reach out, but there was nothing he could do.

He looked at the moon-white figure on the eaves.

The moon-white figure also looked at him. Her gaze, which was hidden in the halo, was cold and indifferent. It seemed to ignore his pain and despair.

Luo Qingzhou’s soul began to shatter.

His head, limbs, and torso began to split apart..

An aura of death enveloped his entire soul.

Was his soul about to dissipate?

He thought of Xiao Die in despair, and then of the pretty girl who always held

flowers and was kissed by him.

For some reason, he thought of that arrogant and cold girl again…

His vision began to blur.

His consciousness began to fade…

However, at this moment, the snow-white handkerchief floating in the air suddenly fell and covered the red bead. The red light instantly disappeared.

The pain began to subside.

His shattered body began to condense together at a visible speed.

More than 10 minutes later, his soul became whole again.

However, his body was still in pain.

His originally condensed soul had already become a little thin.

He looked at the moon-white figure on the eaves and did not say anything.

The moon-white figure also looked at him in silence.

The night was silent.

There was not even the sound of wind.

On the roof of the pavilion, the two souls faced each other silently.

There was a long pause.

The moon-white figure said indifferently, “Tell me again.”

Luo Qingzhou was silent.

The roof was silent for a long time.

Just as Luo Qingzhou thought that the snow-white handkerchief would fly up again and that his soul might dissipate, the white figure spoke again. “Aren’t you afraid of me?”

Luo Qingzhou was silent for a moment before saying, “Yes, I am.”

The moon-white figure said, “Then why didn’t you listen to me?”

Luo Qingzhou fell silent again. “Because of dignity? Self-esteem or something else?”

Luo Qingzhou remained silent.

The moon-white figure stared at him for a moment before saying slowly, “You think I was punishing you just now, right?”

Luo Qingzhou was slightly stunned. He suddenly thought of the words recorded in the book.

During the training of Night Travel, other than wandering around and experiencing the night scenery, there was also a shortcut. When one’s soul was shattered, one would undergo life-and-death training.

The moon-white figure spoke again. “You are now in the Night Travel stage. If you want to advance to the Day Travel stage, according to your current cultivation method, you will need at least a few months. However, if you make use of this Tower Guardian Bead, five days will be enough. Of course, the premise is that I’m by your side. I never owe anyone anything. Tell me stories, and I’ll help you cultivate.”

When Luo Qingzhou heard this, he suddenly remembered that after being almost torn apart by this Tower Guardian Bead that night, his soul had indeed become much stronger. He immediately came to a realization and hurriedly bowed. “Thank you, Senior. I have misunderstood you earlier.”

It seemed that his efforts over the past few nights had not been in vain.

This senior who had refused to guide him at the beginning finally began to relent. Moreover, she had personally helped him cultivate and advance.

The moon-white figure was silent for a moment before saying, “Can you tell me again?

Luo Qingzhou immediately cupped his hands and said, “Of course.”

So be it.

As long as it could help him cultivate, he had no complaints even if he had to repeat 24 hours a day without stopping.

“Go ahead.”

“Yes, Senior.”

Luo Qingzhou pulled himself together and repeated the story in detail.

After the last explanation, the moon-white figure fell silent and did not move, as if she was reminiscing about something.

A moment later.

She slowly said, “You may leave.”

Luo Qingzhou lowered his head and cupped his hands. Just as he was about to leave, she suddenly looked at him and said, “Are you cultivating your soul behind your wife’s back?”

Luo Qingzhou was stunned. He said respectfully, “Yes.”

The moon-white figure was silent for a moment before asking, “Why?” Luo Qingzhou said casually, “It doesn’t matter if I tell her or not. She won’t care.”

The moon-white figure stopped talking.

“Senior, I’ll go then?”

Luo Qingzhou cupped his hands.

The moon-white figure turned her face away and looked at the distant night.

Luo Qingzhou did not dare to disturb her anymore. He floated up from the roof and left quickly.

The moon-white figure turned around and watched as his figure quickly melted into the night. After looking at him for a long time, she disappeared on the spot.

When Luo Qingzhou returned to his room, it was already midnight.

Xiao Die had already knocked on the door twice.

However, she did not dare to enter the house.

On the third time she came, she finally heard his answer. “Come in.”

The little girl pushed open the door, lowered her head, and walked into the house with a red face.

Luo Qingzhou glanced at her and was stunned.

The little girl had long hair and was wearing a pink gauze dress. She did not even seem to be wearing a bra or pants. Her snow-white skin was faintly visible in the transparent dress…

“Young Master, these are… the clothes that Xiao Tao gave me.”

The little girl got into bed and crawled under the blanket. She pressed her cheek against his chest and whispered shyly.

“Um… Why aren’t you wearing anything inside?” Luo Qingzhou asked in puzzlement.

“Xiao Tao said… She said that I don’t have to wear it.’

“Do you take my orders or her?”

“Ah? I… I’ll listen to Young Master…”

“Then put it on. Who doesn’t wear underwear to sleep?”

“Young Master…”

“Go put it on,” Luo Qingzhou insisted.

Suddenly, he started to snore.

Xiao Die was baffled at how quickly he fell asleep.

Luo Qingzhou continued snoring.

Xiao Die stared at him speechlessly.

The next day.

After Luo Qingzhou woke up, he felt refreshed and energetic.

It seemed that last night’s soul-tempering was indeed very effective.

After Xiao Die got up, she went out to rinse her mouth and brush her teeth.

When she saw Luo Qingzhou looking at her brush her teeth, the little girl’s face instantly turned red. She turned around and said shyly, “Young Master, last night… Did I serve you well last night?”

Luo Qingzhou nodded. “Yes, but don’t do it again. I’ve already said to wait another year.”

The little girl turned her back to him and said with a red face, “But Young Master, I didn’t… I didn’t do that. I only… I only did that…

“Like what?”

“I… I was just touching you.”

Luo Qingzhou did not know what to say.

After breakfast.

Luo Qingzhou went out alone and went to the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.

Just as he crossed the arched bridge and was about to get off the bridge, he suddenly heard an argument on the river below the bridge.

One of the voices sounded extremely familiar.

He walked to the railing of the bridge and looked down.

A graceful young woman was arguing with a middle-aged woman who was washing clothes on the steps by the river.

Beside the young woman stood a little girl in a red dress.

The little girl was about 11 or 12 years old. She was petite and had a delicate appearance. Her eyes were especially big, lively, and cute. She was anxiously persuading the young woman.

There were other people washing clothes by the river. After watching the commotion for a while, they surrounded the young woman with clubs and scolded her together.

When the young woman saw that the other party had the advantage in numbers and even had a weapon in his hand, she was immediately a little afraid. However, her aura was still very strong. As she pulled the little girl beside her back, she continued to scold the middle-aged woman.

“Little hussy, how dare you scold me! Rip her clothes and throw her into the river!”

The burly woman who was scolding the young woman immediately shouted angrily and grabbed the young woman’s collar.

As for the little girl in the red dress, she started to cry anxiously and begged those people loudly.

Luo Qingzhou frowned and quickly walked over.

Why were they here?
