Exemplary Couple

"My lady, why have you come out?"

Zhao Huai saw Yu Qinghan walking alone on the street, seemingly upset, and wondered to himself.

"I..."

Yu Qinghan saw that Zhao Huai was unharmed and felt relieved, the weight in her heart finally lifted.

But facing her husband's question, she hesitated for a moment.

Her mind was a mess because she hadn't figured out how to answer.

She couldn't very well smile and say, 'This humble servant was afraid that her husband would fall victim to assassins, so I came out and casually slaughtered four Demons and Monsters.'

That would sound too creepy.

And it would attract her husband's attention and questions.

Where did the assassins come from? Why were there assassins? Didn't you break ties with your family? After all, she had promised before their marriage that their normal life wouldn't be threatened, and no one would bother them. If she let it slip now, wouldn't she be slapping her own face?

Yu Qinghan saw that it was getting late and the sunset was painting the sky with hues of dusk. In a moment of inspiration, she smiled and said, "I saw that it was almost time, so I was planning to come out and buy some vegetables. I didn't expect to run into you, my husband."

Zhao Huai picked up the basket of vegetables in his hand, shook it, and smiled, "No need, I've already bought them. The auction at the Heavenly Treasures Guild ended early today, so I came back quickly. Then I went to the market and bought the vegetables."

He had sent Li Yanqing home, explained the matter of taking disciples, and then went to the market. Otherwise, it would have been difficult to explain.

Yu Qinghan glanced at the meat and vegetables filling Zhao Huai's hands and smiled faintly, "Did you buy so much?"

"Yes, I bought a lot of beef and mutton, and I bought enough for the next few days as well. Anyway, we have a cellar at home, so it won't spoil." Zhao Huai grinned.

"Was your day smooth, my husband? Did you encounter any troubles?"

Yu Qinghan was naturally happy to see that her husband was alright.

But in her words, she still asked without revealing her true feelings.

Faced with the question, the figures of two assassins, one fat and one thin, flashed through Zhao Huai's mind.

Even after killing them, he didn't know their names.

If he were to reveal the matter of the two assassins, it would undoubtedly be unwise, because it would be difficult to explain where they went.

Hiding his cultivation during the blind date was a form of protection for himself. Now that he had kept it a secret all along, it was difficult to bring it up.

He would choose a better time in the future.

"Nothing went wrong. The harvest was quite good, especially that bottle of body-tempering pills."

"You know, I've been practicing martial arts for some time, but I haven't made any breakthroughs. But the effect of this pill is quite good, making my body even stronger."

Zhao Huai fabricated a story about his gains from the auction, which also explained why he went to the Heavenly Treasures Guild.

Yu Qinghan listened, nodded slightly, and earnestly instructed, "Taking pills is ultimately a lower-grade method. In the path of cultivation, you must ultimately rely on yourself."

Zhao Huai smiled wryly, "I'm not as talented as you, my lady. I can only rely on these external objects. My aptitude is really not good."

In fact, what he said was indeed the truth.

The predecessor of this body was a playboy who indulged in pleasure all day long, playing "hide-and-seek" with the palace maids. Even at such an old age, he had not even reached Qi Refining.

From another perspective, his aptitude was not only poor, but he was also lazy, unwilling to endure hardship, and unwilling to cultivate. So when he first arrived, he was still an ordinary person.

This extremely poor aptitude even affected him. Zhao Huai had been stuck at Qi Refining Level 9 for some time, unable to break through to Foundation Establishment.

From a certain perspective, isn't this a manifestation of insufficient potential?

With the blessing of the Diligent Achiever fate, his cultivation speed was indeed fast, but if he couldn't overcome the bottleneck, he would still be stuck in place.

"My husband, you must not belittle yourself."

Yu Qinghan heard Zhao Huai's self-deprecating words, pursed her red lips, and grabbed Zhao Huai's hand, earnestly feeling it.

She hadn't paid attention to her husband's aptitude before, but now she could take a look.

Seeing this, Zhao Huai's eyelids twitched.

Fortunately, he had the Playing the Pig to Eat the Tiger fate to cover it up, so no one could see his cultivation.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain if he was discovered.

Yu Qinghan carefully examined Zhao Huai's bones and the meridians as still as a pool of water.

His body was indeed like a stagnant pond.

Yu Qinghan said in puzzlement, "That shouldn't be. Husband's meridians are very wide, and his body is excellent. It's just that his spiritual root is poor. How could he be unable to practice Qi?"

"Maybe I just don't have enough talent," Zhao Huai said with a smile.

Before obtaining his fate, his meridians and body were not as good as she described.

"It must be the wrong method," Yu Qinghan mused.

Teaching Zhao Huai the basics of cultivation was the most important thing in her eyes.

"Let's go home first; it's completely dark,"

Zhao Huai glanced at the sky and directly advised.

Yu Qinghan snapped out of her thoughts, took the vegetable basket from Zhao Huai's hand, and said softly, "You're right, let's go home first."

The next moment, Zhao Huai took her other hand, and a sweet smile immediately filled Yu Qinghan's fair face.

"Today, I'll let you taste my husband's cooking; you definitely can't find it outside."

"Really?"

"Of course, although it can't compare to my wife's cooking skills, it's novel."

Their hands clasped together, talking and laughing, gradually disappearing at the end of the eastern street, the dim yellow lanterns adding a touch of warmth.

In the evening, hot smoke rose from the chimneys, and the windows of every household were bright. Although the night in Jin Province was dark, it was not lonely.

Huai Pawnshop.

Yu Qinghan looked at the figure of the man constantly busy in the kitchen and couldn't help but smile slightly.

"Princess, don't you find it strange?"

A voice sounded from the shadows beside her.

"What is it?"

"The assassins sent by the Black Market have disappeared out of thin air, as if they vanished. Logically, they should have arrived in Jin Province long ago."

Yu Qinghan said indifferently, "What are you trying to say?"

The maid in the shadows was silent for a moment, then said:

"Is it possible that Young Master Zhao killed them?"

"He is actually a top expert, lurking by the Princess's side, in order to gain your trust and then seize military power."

Yu Qinghan shook her head, "Impossible, I've seen it, my husband is just an ordinary person. I personally felt his bones."

"Your imagination is too rich. Also, I no longer have any involvement with the military. Unless it's something important, don't come looking for me in the future."

The maid in the shadows retorted, "It's also possible that the Princess's cultivation is not high enough to see through him. Tomorrow, I will call Old Yu over to test him personally."

"As you wish."

Yu Qinghan got up impatiently, intending to go into the kitchen to help.

The maid in the shadows looked at their backs, sighed, and then disappeared from the spot.
