170: Chapter 170 Nangong Qingya's Concerns

Nangong Qingya had a very strong personality.

But no matter how strong a person might be, she was still a woman at heart, and deep down, she longed for a warm embrace and a shoulder she could lean on.

And Ji Taichang was just such a near-perfect pillar of support.

After Ji Taichang's heartfelt confession earlier and their time spent together, Nangong Qingya had long since accepted Ji Taichang and was no longer as resistant as she had been at the beginning.

"Mmm..."

Ji Taichang's warm, strong hand quietly climbed onto that towering slime, causing Nangong Qingya's delicate body to tremble, her face blushing even more deeply, and a soft moan escaped her throat.

Seeing that she didn't resist, Ji Taichang knew the time was ripe!

Ji Taichang leaned down and whispered into Nangong Qingya's ear, "My dear wife, would you be willing to share a bed with me tonight?"

Nangong Qingya shyly lowered her head and nodded gently.

"Mmm..."

"Oh... hoh hoh..."

...

[Ding! Nangong Qingya's favorability has increased by 20 points. You may obtain 20% of the Purple Cloud Sword Sovereign's cultivation/abilities. Please choose.]

[Nangong Qingya's favorability: 90 (There will be a surprise when favorability reaches 100!)]

...

Afterwards.

Nangong Qingya, drenched in fragrant sweat, collapsed into Ji Taichang's arms.

"favorability only increased to 90?"

"System, claim the Purple Cloud Sword Sovereign's abilities."

Ji Taichang thought to himself.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 20% of the Purple Cloud Sword Sovereign's abilities!]

As the System's notification chime faded, a vast amount of knowledge regarding the Dao of Formations emerged out of thin air, causing Ji Taichang's attainments in Formation to advance by leaps and bounds, reaching the Peak of the Fourth Grade, not far from becoming a Fifth Grade Formation Master.

Mmm... better than nothing.

Ji Taichang looked at the shy and voluptuous beauty in his arms, feeling somewhat puzzled, "My dear wife, why... why did you still have your virgin blood?"

Nangong Qingya hooked her arms around Ji Taichang's neck, her beautiful face filled with shyness and allure, "Actually, actually tonight was my first time... I am not the lady of the Lin family; that identity was something I faked."

"Lin Fan is not my biological son either, just an adopted son..."

"Senior, please don't call me 'Madam' anymore. I am your wife now. My real name is Nangong Qingya, just call me Qingya or Ya'er."

Nangong Qingya's beautiful eyes were filled with love as she gazed quietly at Ji Taichang.

"So you were still a maiden. No wonder you were so shy earlier when I teased you..."

Ji Taichang suddenly understood and, with a wicked smile, pinched the tip of her slime.

"Mmm... don't... hoh oh..."

Nangong Qingya let out a weak moan and was soon swept away in the raging storm.

...

Afterwards.

Looking at Nangong Qingya, who had already fallen into a deep sleep, Ji Taichang fell into deep thought.

He had already put in so much effort, trying every trick in the book, yet Nangong Qingya's favorability remained stuck at 90 and never reached 100. This left Ji Taichang somewhat puzzled.

"Could it be that she still has some reservations in her heart?"

Ji Taichang rubbed his chin, unable to figure it out no matter how hard he thought.

Several hours later.

Nangong Qingya woke up slowly. Looking up, she saw Ji Taichang's smiling, handsome face. A satisfied smile appeared on her face as she kissed Ji Taichang on the cheek.

"Qingya, do you love me?"

Ji Taichang lifted Nangong Qingya's chin.

"I do!" Nangong Qingya answered without any hesitation.

"How much do you love me?"

Nangong Qingya looked at Ji Taichang affectionately, "This life of mine was given by you, Senior, and my heart has long been yours. I love you so much that I am willing to give everything, including my life!"

Ji Taichang raised an eyebrow, "If that is the case, do you... still have any concerns?"

Nangong Qingya's amorous gaze did not look fake, which made Ji Taichang even more puzzled.

Why was the favorability stuck at 90 and refusing to go up?

"I do."

Nangong Qingya gave a bitter smile, "I previously told you, Senior, that I have enemies in the Eastern Desolate Region, and this enemy... is the Chiyang Sect!"

The Chiyang Sect.

It is a first-rate power in the Eastern Desolate Region, and among the twenty-four first-rate powers, it ranks near the top, with an extremely profound foundation and strength!

Upon hearing this, Ji Taichang was immediately surprised, "Tell me more. How did you become enemies with the Chiyang Sect?"

Nangong Qingya's expression was bitter as she said, "The story is not complicated. Actually, I was originally a True Disciple of the Chiyang Sect. It was just because thirty years ago, the Chiyang Sect's Young Lord, Xiao Ziyun, took a fancy to me and wanted to forcibly take me as his concubine."

"Xiao Ziyun is the son of the Chiyang Sect Leader. He possesses an Innate Sword Spirit Body and is known as the Purple Cloud Sword Sovereign, yet he Cultivates the Yin and Yang Joyous Dao. He has already taken over a hundred concubines, and he is extremely debauched."

"Naturally, I was unwilling to marry him as a concubine, but his power in the Chiyang Sect was overwhelming. He forcibly drew up a marriage contract and tried to force me to submit."

"I found a way to escape from the Chiyang Sect, but Xiao Ziyun pursued me the entire way. In my panicked flight, I stumbled into the forbidden area of the Eastern Desolate Region, Setting Sun Valley. Xiao Ziyun followed me down, but we encountered a great terror and a great crisis, and Xiao Ziyun died on the spot!"

"Although I was lucky enough to survive, I was afflicted with a strange poison..."

"I went through great hardships to escape from Setting Sun Valley and stumbled into the Land of a Hundred Dynasties. To survive, I had to use a secret technique I learned from the Chiyang Sect, paying the price of shattering my own Nascent Soul to Seal the strange poison within my body. I then changed my name to Zhao Ya and hid in the Lin family, preparing to spend the rest of my life there..."

"Now that I have been saved by you, Senior, and am able to step onto the path of Cultivation once again, I am still... after all, the culprit who caused Xiao Ziyun's death. I am filled with fear, always worried that the Chiyang Sect Leader will come looking for me and bring disaster to you, Senior, and the Qingyun Sect..."

"I really don't want to implicate everyone..."

Nangong Qingya hugged Ji Taichang's strong, powerful waist, resting her head in his arms, her eyes slightly reddened.

Ji Taichang could clearly feel her love and anxiety, and he finally understood why her favorability had never been maxed out.

Nangong Qingya was worried that she would bring a calamity of sect destruction upon Ji Taichang and the Qingyun Sect, so she didn't dare to love him with all her heart, always keeping a certain distance in her heart. She had even prepared herself to leave quietly!

"The mere Chiyang Sect, what is there to fear?"

Ji Taichang was very calm, smiling as he rubbed Nangong Qingya's head, "Don't be afraid while I'm here. Leave everything to me."

"It won't work."

Nangong Qingya hurriedly shook her head, "The Chiyang Sect Leader is at the Peak of the Ninth Level of the Void Refinement Stage, and the Xiao family line even has an Old Ancestor at the Body Integration Stage, who can also mobilize many experts of the Chiyang Sect..."

Ji Taichang remained indifferent, "A mere Body Integration Stage cultivator? Do you really think I don't have Body Integration Stage experts behind me?"

Ji Taichang's words caused Nangong Qingya's heart to tremble, "Could it be..."

Ji Taichang chuckled, "Qingya, you have also seen it; my Soul Transformation Stage cultivation allows me to rival experts at the Void Refinement Stage. With my talent and combat power, I have long surpassed the so-called Saints and Saintesses!"

"My true origins are even more terrifying than you imagine!"
