Of course, she could hardly ask him that to his face. Qiu Wuji could only bottle it up and fly toward the East Sea with Chu Ge, feeling thoroughly wronged.
Under Qiu Wuji's earlier orders, the elders of the Cloudreach Sect had already led the sect's elite forces to the East Sea. This was also the final plot of Chu Ge's volume: Shenzhou's counterattack and the unification of both shores.
Their base at the East Sea sword formation had never been withdrawn, and many powerful sword cultivators were stationed there. It served not only as a defensive position, but also, in effect, as a coastal branch.
The branch was not intended to remain on this coast, but to be established on Transfer Island in the middle of the sea. In Qiu Wuji's view, if the two shores were united in the future, this would become an extremely important island for travel and trade between them. The Cloudreach Sect had to secure it. Once they controlled it, they could grow filthy rich without lifting a finger.
This was one of the insights she had gained from spending so long in the Mortal World. The other powerful cultivators had never even considered such things.
She just did not know whether her "Heavenly Dao husband" would be willing to write that in and let the Cloudreach Sect reap some benefits... Qiu Wuji pursed her lips in grievance. Now everything I do has to fit what you write. I've been so obedient, and you still look at other men while we're making love.
The elders stood stiff-faced, looking up as their Sect Leader descended from the sky hand in hand with her disciple, looking utterly dependent on him.
Her lips were still pouting, as though she had just suffered some slight.
*For fuck's sake.
