Chapter 740: Chapter 738: Can We Give Them Up?
…
Chu Duo sat on the Dragon Chair, sighing lamentably.
Dongfang Yi had intended to look the other way, but the sighs were so loud that even the cat sunbathing outside the hall could hear them and had taken a peek inside, so he felt embarrassed not to inquire.
“Your Majesty, if there is anything I can do, please command me.”
“It’s still about my Empress, she would like to meet your wife, better yet, have her stay in the palace for a while.”
Chu Duo had witnessed Sally ‘being unfaithful’, but he still wanted to give his brother, a friend dear as life itself, a bit of dignity by secretly disciplining her before sending her back.
If Dongfang Yi grew tired of Sally in the future, he would bestow upon him a marriage with a lady of noble birth.
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Yi immediately clasped his hands and said, “I kindly ask Your Majesty to reject the Empress’s kind offer. I’d be burning incense if my humble wife could just stay, no… should say lie down, in the General Residence.”
“Lie down? What do you mean?”
“It means eating until she’s full and sleeping when she’s tired,” he explained.
“…”
“Yi! How about I make the decision to end this marriage for you and match you with someone of equal social status?”
“This daughter-in-law was chosen by my mother. Back when she married an ancestral tablet, it was very grievous for her, so no matter what, as long as she’s willing to be with me, I’ll support her.”
“Didn’t she say she wants to divorce you?”
“The premise for a divorce is finding a man who can support her vices, and still genuinely care for her.”
“I think your brain got damaged on the battlefield, how could there possibly be such a man. Lazy, gluttonous, slippery, and unfaithful… ah, my mistake,” Chu Duo said awkwardly.
That expression didn’t seem like he misspoke, but rather that he had let something slip!
Dongfang Yi’s complexion turned slightly grim, and he replied, “I am aware, but when she was ill, I had the midwife examine her, and she is still intact. Therefore, during the wartime, regardless of what she did to survive that was out of line, as long as the final line is not crossed, I will forgive her.”
“…You are amazing!” Since the victim himself was not only fully aware but also indifferent to the metaphorical green hills and clear waters above his head, Chu Duo had nothing more to say.
“Thank you for your concern about my internal family affairs, Your Majesty. I hope you will devote more time to the state affairs of the court in the future. I ask to leave now,” Dongfang Yi said as he walked backward out of the hall.
“Go, go, go.” Chu Duo felt like a warm-hearted person rebuffed by a cold blade, having even pulled favors with the Empress to discipline his wife for him…
…
Bored, Sally asked Jian for a cultivation technique to strengthen the body.
Although the Spiritual Energy in the Human Realm was meager, it was not nonexistent. Therefore, to avoid frequently succumbing to sickness and fainting for days, she decided to practice cultivation.
Sally climbed the ladder to the roof and chose a flat spot. She spread out a thick blanket, comfortably sat down, closed her eyes, and began meditating in a cross-legged position.
The sparse Spiritual Energy in the air was absorbed into her body, then slowly guided in a Grand Circulation.
Now, she wasn’t in any rush to see quick results; after all, haste wouldn’t help. Since Jian wasn’t taking her, she couldn’t return anyway.
Dongfang Yi, carrying a food box, came looking for Sally.
Seeing her practicing on the roof, he was quite surprised, “Xiuxiu?”
Sally slowly exhaled, finishing her practice… but still kept her eyes closed, “Hmm, I know I am outstanding, so you might as well call me ‘Outstanding’ instead of Xiuxiu.”
Dongfang Yi was speechless, but having spent time with her, he understood her contrary nature, “I brought you some royal court snacks, would you like to try some?”
Sally opened one eye, glancing at the delicate food box in his hand, “Bring it up here.”
Dongfang Yi leapt up, placing the food box beside her.
“Where did you get this Cultivation Method from?”
“My lover gave it to me.”
“…” He just had to ask with his big mouth!
Sally opened the lunch box, took out a plate of flower cake, and after taking a bite, said, “Sweet but not greasy, nice.”
“Are you still secretly plotting with them?” he continued indiscreetly!
“Yes, but not secretly, we are outright about it.”
“…” Yes, so outright that even the emperor knows, “Can you give them up? I am more than enough to provide for you.”
“This isn’t about providing or not providing, but rather that they fulfill all my needs in a man. Handsome, strong Fertility Strength, good in bed, and they don’t cling or bother me unless I call for them — and if I do, they respond with zeal. So, why should I give up such excellent males?” Sally argued matter-of-factly.
If it weren’t for knowing that Sally was still untouched, Dongfang Yi really might be angered to death by her!
“I’m off to get busy; you take your time eating.”
“Why don’t you practice too? If you master this Cultivation Method, you could ascend to the Immortal Realm.”
“No need!”
Her lover’s gifts — even burning them wouldn’t be satisfying enough, and he wants to practice? Killing intent filled Dongfang Yi’s eyes.
Duanmu Yunhua came looking for Dongfang Yi.
From a distance, he saw someone sitting on the roof and rubbed his eyes… It was Dongfang Yi’s quirky wife.
Instantly disregarding the matter he came for, he walked into the courtyard where Sally was meditating.
“What are you doing?” Duanmu Yunhua asked.
Sally replied with closed eyes, “I’m cultivating immortality!”
“…Pfft! Hahaha!” Indeed, Dongfang Yi’s wife never failed to amuse.
“What’s so funny? I’m telling the truth, this set of Cultivation Techniques can really lead to ascension if practiced to the end,” Sally replied. “But I’m mainly doing it for the physical and mental benefits.”
“Is that so? Then I might practice it too.” Duanmu Yunhua said laughingly, with a suggestive twinkle in his eyes.
Thinking he was serious about learning, Sally got into her teaching mode and said to Duanmu Yunhua, “Come up here and sit, I’ll explain it to you properly.”
Duanmu Yunhua immediately climbed up the ladder.
Sally spread out a thick blanket a bit more and invited him to sit down, “The Cultivation Method I’m practicing is called the ‘Supreme Mysterious True Gang Scripture,’ and it consists of ten cultivation realms, each divided into three stages: early, middle, and late…”
In the beginning, Duanmu Yunhua just wanted to tease Sally, but as he listened, he became sincerely serious and eventually started trying to cultivate according to the Grand Circulation method that Sally described.
Seeing him succeed in Absorbing Spirit and Exhaling Dross on his first try, Sally was overjoyed, “I really am excellent, aren’t I? The first time I teach someone to cultivate, and it was a success!”
It was indeed her first time teaching someone; previously, she had only taught her babies. As for those Beast Husbands, it would have been an achievement if they didn’t have to teach her, let alone her teaching them—just thinking about it, she knew it was impossible.
“Indeed!” Duanmu Yunhua stood up and, with respect, bowed to Sally, “Master above, I receive—”
“No, no, no!” Sally hurriedly stopped him, “I can’t be your master.”
“Duanmu Yunhua—” Dongfang Yi bellowed, “Wu Xiuer! What are you two doing?”
Sally immediately put her hands on her hips and shouted back at Dongfang Yi, “From today on, Duanmu Yunhua is my fellow practitioner of the Immortal Technique. Isn’t that right, Yunhua?”
Duanmu Yunhua broke out in a cold sweat, but now if he didn’t agree, he wouldn’t be able to practice Immortal Techniques later.
“Ah… Yes! Xiuxiu and I, we’ll be immortal companions from now on!”
