The General's Genius Daughter Chapter 235

Chapter 235 I'd Really Like to Kill Him!
Tianci nodded. Although he could not understand Hua Qiyue's concerns. But he would not reject anything his mom would want him to do.

Princess Qianyang brought the company tea to sober them up from wine. But Ji Jing sneered, “We don't dare to drink your tea. Perhaps you have laced it with poison?”

After all, Princess Qianyang and Yun Shimo were now a married couple. Ji Jing felt deeply aggrieved on Hua Qiyue's behalf. Her attitude toward Princess Qianyang had not improved.

Princess Qianyang gave an awkward smile. “No, Jing, if you don't believe me, I will take a cup first.” She poured herself a cup of tea and drank it.

“Jing, you're talking nonsense again. Although Princess Qianyang has married Brother Yun, causing you to feel it unfair, she's not a wicked person. Why would she poison us?” Ji Feng said quietly. He led the company and walked over. Princess Qianyang felt deeply grateful for his kind words. She did not expect Ji Feng to bear her no grudge.

She promptly poured a cup of tea and placed it in Ji Feng's hand. “Thank you for speaking up for me, Brother Ji. Just call me Qianyang. Since marrying Brother Yun, I'm no longer a princess.”

Princess Qianyang's smile was calm and gentle without any negative emotions.

Hua Qiyue was secretly astounded. This woman's eyes used to be full of provocation when she saw her. Why was she so quiet now?

But Hua Qiyue did not ponder too much. The company also came to take their tea. After a while, Princess Qianyang poured a cup of tea and brought it over to Hua Qiyue.

“Princess Jinghua, I think I ought to apologize to you. Sorry! If it weren't for me, you and Prince Nan would have…”

“Princess, don't say this. It's not your fault.” Hua Qiyue shook her head. She understood it was all thanks to Yun Shimo. Otherwise, even if Princess Qianyang had kept pestering Yun Shimo tirelessly, he would not have taken her away. Yun Shimo did this of his own accord. So she could not blame Princess Qianyang.

Princess Qianyang was startled. She had not expected Hua Qiyue to be so gracious.

Hua Qiyue took over the tea from her hands and thanked her. Princess Qianyang was overwhelmed by her kindness. In her impression, Hua Qiyue was always so indifferent and would not react to favors or humiliations.

She had not blamed her and had acted so politely. She made Princess Qianyang feel a sense of ease.

“No wonder Shimo fell for you. Princess Jinghua is indeed magnanimous!”

Princess Qianyang smiled with admiring eyes.

Hua Qiyue smiled indifferently without saying anything.

Princess Qianyang suddenly bent. Tianci started to grip Hua Qiyue's hand in anxiety. Hua Qiyue gave a slight smile, patting the back of his hand.

“Princess Jinghua, let me tell you a secret… Although I am married to Yun Shimo, we have not consummated our marriage.”

Princess Qianyang whispered. Only Tianci and Hua Qiyue heard her.

Hua Qiyue stared in astonishment at Princess Qianyang. Princess Qianyang was blushing, regret flitting across her eyes. “Maybe he doesn't like me. Marring me was only to make you give up on him. After all, with such wicked enemies, he will have trouble preserving his own life. That's why he wants you to give him up!”

Princess Qianyang's words made Hua Qiyue turn silent.

What could she say now? In the depths of her heart, she blamed Qianyang. But rationality told her it was not Qianyang's fault.

In any case, Hua Qiyue felt herself becoming more and more hypocritical.

Tianci stared at Hua Qiyue and Qianyang in bafflement. He did not know what “consummating a marriage” was. When Princess Qianyang turned to leave, Tianci tugged at Hua Qiyue's robe sleeve and asked aloud, “Mom, what's 'consummating a marriage'?”

Oops—

Princess Qianyang felt her face turning red. She was so bashful that she lowered her head, walking out of the cave hurriedly.

Everyone looked curiously at Princess Qianyang and Hua Qiyue, and at Yun Shimo sitting in the near distance.

Ji Jing was a gossiper. She immediately put down the bundle in her hands. She had wanted to move her things to the log cabin, as Xuanji and the rest were about to hunt for warm, lustrous jade in the nearby Stone Forest.

Evil beasts roamed these mountains, so there were also a great many jade here. Human beings did not dare to take the top-quality jade away.

But hearing Tianci's shout, Xuanji and the others also turned back their heads like prying busybodies, witnessing this strange scene.

“Tianci, you're still young. After you find yourself a wife when you're older, you will understand,” Hua Qiyue said quite embarrassedly.

The look of the company became even stranger. What were Princess Qianyang and Hua Qiyue talking about just now? Why had they mentioned “consummation”?

Yun Shimo also felt quite awkward. He turned to go, leaving for the mountain peak to cultivate.

“Sister, what did the Princess say to you? Tell me, quick!” Ji Jing ran over and pulled at Hua Qiyue's hand.

Hua Qiyue shook her head. “This is her privacy. How can I just tell you?”

Ji Jing did not give up, asking repeatedly and kept pestering Hua Qiyue. Finally, Ji Feng could not take it. He pulled Ji Jing to leave.

Hua Qiyue finally heaved a breath of relief.

Then, she took Tianci to a quiet, remote spot and imparted the Spirit Summoning Art to him.

Tianci wa only a seven-year-old child. The Spirit Summoning Art was still quite difficult for him to master.

“Mom, am I stupid? How come I can't master it no matter how hard I train?” Tianci knitted his brows. He had practiced so hard that he was irritated .

Hua Qiyue gently made him sit down to rest. “Tianci, you aren't stupid. This strange and nearly lost art is very difficult to master. Even Mom took a long time to learn it.”

Tianci heard her and finally felt a little better.

Hua Qiyue continued to teach him step by step for one hour. Finally, Tianci began to learn a little better.

Hua Qiyue leaned against the tree, watching Tianci. She suddenly thought about Tianpi!

Tianpi must be still in the green jade gourd?

When Hua Qiyue thought of this, she wanted to confront Yun Shimo. But she thought again. There were too many people with them now. If the others came across them arguing with each other, it would not look good. She'd better wait for night to fall first.

Hua Qiyue sat under the tree, trying to comprehend a mental practicing method the hare had imparted to her.

If she had mastered this mental practicing method, it would augment her Spirit Summoning Art. If she executed two of them together, she would be able to release her greatest powers.

Hua Qiyue had comprehended the first part. After that, there were the middle and final parts.

“The Spiritual Laws of Heaven, Earth and Underworld” was imparted to her by the hare. Although Hua Qiyue didn't like the hare, the hare might not have known anything, or Yun Shimo might have told it to keep quiet.

It was why it did not reveal Yun Shimo's whereabouts to her. But this mental practicing method was quite useful.

With a whiz, the hare ran out from the grass. As it ran, it kept grumbling.

“Yun Shimo, that bastard, he wants me to hunt. He says there are many people, so we must have lots to eat… Can't he get those lads? Xuanji and Ji Feng are two of the best hunters!” the hare said, stopping by Hua Qiyue's side.

He watched Tianci in the near distance, anima energy enveloping his entire body. It opened and closed its eyes by turns.

“Hey, lass, you've imparted your Spirit Summoning Art to Tianci? He's so young and will find it hard to master it. If he can't master it, it will be a hard blow on him,” the hare said, squatting by the side, cooling itself from the sun.

Hua Qiyue glanced at the hare. “It is hard, but the situation now isn't optimistic. Once the formation has been broken into, he may have no chance to preserve himself.”

The hare was startled and nodded. “You're right. But although I was saved by you from the formation, it's so difficult to regain my powers!”

“Which level is your Qi Art at now?”

“The medium level of Holy God.”

“Not bad. Impart the middle part of the mental practicing method to me. I've almost comprehended the whole of the first,” Hua Qiyue said quietly.

The hare quickly took out a jade slip obediently. Once the information recorded on the slip had been read once by someone, it would vanish completely.

Hua Qiyue quietly committed the dozen or so characters to her memory.

Although there were only a dozen or so characters, it was the essence of the method.

“By the way, lass, what did that Princess Qianyang say to you? Tsk, tsk, you even mentioned such a sensitive term!” The hare started to turn nosy.

“None of your business!” Hua Qiyue rolled her eyes. She shut her eyes, trying to comprehend the middle part of the mental practicing method.

The hare felt snubbed, scratching its fur. “Sigh. I need two more years to evolve into a human being. What a tortuous life of a hare!”

Then, the hare left by itself.

Hua Qiyue opened her eyes, watching the hare leave. She furrowed her brows. Was she being too mean? After all, the hare had helped them quite a lot too. A deity from 10,000 years ago, treating them mere mortals so well… On the whole, it had been quite nice.

Quite unconsciously, evening arrived.

Hua Qiyue and Tianci practiced until midnight and left for their rest. Tianci was feeling enthusiastic. He had mastered quite a bit of the Spirit Summoning Art. He had encountered a little fox and started executing the Spirit Summoning Art at the fox without any anima energy. The little fox had obeyed his commands.

The little fellow was so excited that he didn't feel tired at all Hua Qiyue took a long time to persuade him before Tianci gave up the training and went to rest.

After pulling the blanket on Tianci, Hua Qiyue also lay by his side, trying to sleep. She suddenly heard some light footsteps.

Hua Qiyue leaped down the stone couch. It was now autumn, and the night was quite cold.

She looked out of the window and found Yun Shimo already walking up the opposite mountain peak.

Hua Qiyue also tiptoed out. She executed Mourning Steps and instantly arrived at that mountain peak.

Against the wind, her white robe fluttering, Hua Qiyue's black hair was all windswept. In the moonlight, she resembled a fairy descending upon the earth. She stared coldly at the man sitting cross-legged on the ground.

Yun Shimo detected that someone had arrived. His eyes sprang open instantly.

When he saw Hua Qiyue, Yun Shimo felt as if he were dreaming. He stood up. The other party remained where she was.

“Return my green jade gourd to me,” Hua Qiyue remarked coldly. There were few feelings in her eyes and her tone.

Yun Shimo shook his head with full of complex emotions in his eyes. He tried strenuously to suppress the emotional surging in his heart. “Qiyue, there's a demon in the jade. Let me have it.”

“The green jade is my space gourd. Only when I have it can I carry more divine herbs. Yun Shimo, you think that Tianpi would be as shameless and sinister as you, taking Tianci secretly away?”

Hua Qiyue could not hide the murderous malice in her eyes! Although he was once someone she had loved.

But that love had been destroyed completely by his deeds!

Now Hua Qiyue really wanted to act and kill Yun Shimo! If it weren't for Tianci's sake…

“Sorry, Qiyue, I won't hand it to you.” Yun Shimo shook his head, shutting his eyes to cultivate.

Hua Qiyue was so angry that she started to shiver all over her body. She said chillingly, “Yun Shimo! Don't be so shameless! If it weren't for Tianpi, I would have died a few hundred times! Tianci saved me during the battle against the Gnawing Devils Sect. And you? When I woke up on that ground strewn with corpses, not even your shadow could be found!”
