Against The Gods
Chapter 23 – Upheaval Round 2

Habits are a scary thing. It can be flashy and silently disturb one's heart.

During the wedding ceremony, Xiao Che wanted to extend a hand to Xia Qingyue and his hand was mercilessly frozen by her. The first time she called him “istri”, it almost made her angry. The first time he held her hand, Xiao Che could feel an ice-cold cold intent coming from her …

However, during these few days, the call of “Qingyue My wife” from Xiao Che's mouth became smoother. No matter what he thought in his heart, he seemed to be fully accepting of this form of calling. Even taking off the clothes in front of him was no longer awkward.

These few days, Xiao Che had unhesitatingly slept in a corner, but it felt uncomfortable with the thick blanket that lay on the floor. Whenever it was three in the morning, he would wake up on his own and use a silver needle to give him “treatment”. These few days, he had also become increasingly aware of his amazingly transformed physique.

The illumination was dim, but Xia Qingyue's back was like jade, her skin brighter than snow. Xiao Che held the silver needle in his hand as his fingers moved. Shortly thereafter, he was covered in sweat. Half an hour later, another session “Opens Profound” has been completed. Xiao Che removed all those silver needles,***** long a relief from his mouth. Tired, his mind suddenly felt dizzy and his body swayed before collapsing over Xia Qingyue's bare back. An indescribable sense of warmth and tenderness spread in his chest.

Xia Qingyue suddenly opened her eyes, an expression of anger that flashed past her. He was just about to use force to push Xiao Che away when he felt that his current breathing was suddenly, extremely weak.

Xia Qingyue withdrew her profound strength and only used a small amount of strength to get rid of Xiao Che. He then dressed for a brief moment before reaching out to support Xiao Che's body. Looking at him, he asked, “What's up?”

Xiao Che's skin was so pale that no trace of blood could be seen. His eyes widened as if he had lost the strength to open them completely. He nodded slightly, then weakly said, “Nothing ... I just overuse .. my strength and energy are a little ... Let me rest for a while and I'll be fine.”

Xia Qingyue's eyes wobbled, feeling a pain that should not once again appear in her heart. After the first acupuncture treatment, his entire body had lost strength. Every time it happened, he could recover easily. However, these past few days, he had to do acupuncture on her every day. Each needle needs profound qi. His body was initially weak. Continuously weakened like this .. how could he be cured? It can cause irreparable damage to the body.

“... You don't need to do much effort for me.” Xia Qingyue said with a complicated look in her eyes.

Xiao Che smirked as he laughed: “No, you deserve it ... because you are .. my wife!”

Xia Qingyue: “..”

Xiao Che closed his eyes and slowly gathered his strength. Using a very calm voice, he said: “Although you married me to pay the debt of gratitude, you never considered me as your husband. But there's no way I'm acting like you're not my wife other than divorcing you. Treating women well is also the most basic responsibility and the most important honor for a man. “

After saying this, Xiao Che's chest started to feel warm .. I said it! Even I was touched by those words, I can't believe that you with your female heart, feel nothing!

For a long time, she had not heard anything Xia Qingyue said. She opened her eyes, slightly took a few breaths, then said with a pitiful expression: “Qingyue my wife, maybe I can't walk properly. Can you ... take me there? “

His eyes looked towards that corner.

Xia Qingyue gave a blanket that covered the ground, feeling the pain in her heart so she shouldn't have intensified in the slightest. He shook his head, his body returning to the side of the bed. “You sleep in bed, I'll sleep there.”

After hearing these words, Xiao Che was suddenly alarmed. Borrowing that strength out of nowhere, he quickly reached out and grabbed Xia Qingyue's arm: “That's different from my request! That must not make sense! Although you are stronger than me in every way .. I am a man, you are a woman! As a man, how could I sleep in a bed and let a woman sleep on the floor! If you want to sleep there, then I'd rather sleep in the yard! “

His voice was extremely urgent, and contained an indisputable type of resolution. As he finished speaking, he also tried to get up, as if wanting to get out of bed.

A complex expression appeared on Xia Qingyue's face. He slightly bit his lips and, after a brief thought, finally made a decision. He reached out and pulled Xiao Che's weak body back, grabbed the red blanket, and covered his body and his own body with the object.

“You are not allowed to touch me.” Xia Qingyue was lying on the outside of the bed, her back facing Xiao Che, hiding her current expression.

Xiao Che silently smiled. He quickly looked for a comfortable sleeping posture and happily closed his eyes. “Rest well. With your profound strength, even if I want it, I still cannot do anything to you.. hu, sharing the same bed...just like this, we can be considered husband and wife .. “.

Xia Qingyue: “..”

“Alright .. Qingyue my wife, I will sleep first .. wu, tomorrow I want my little aunt to prepare ginseng and chicken soup to heal .. wu ..”

Xiao Che's voice became increasingly calm. As her voice completely faded, her breathing also became very stable.

Ever since joining Frozen Cloud Asgard, he had decided to suppress his feelings and desires for life. Never did he think that there would be a day when he would sleep in the same bed as a man. Before marrying Xiao Che, she would not allow the slightest touch …

But now, he was sleeping on the same bed as her. Not only that, there was not much incompetence in his heart …

What's wrong with me? Don't tell me that because I feel guilty about her?

Might as well…

His mind was agitated, he was involuntarily immersed in his dream as well. She did not realize that being able to fall asleep so quickly with a man sleeping right beside her, her heart had not felt any feelings of anxiety or rejection towards Xiao Che.

Xiao Che slept for up to three hours after sunrise. When she opened her eyes, Xia Qingyue had already left her side. His figure could not be found in the room either.

Although he rested all night, his body was still depressed, and it felt as if he had sustained severe injuries. Xiao Che got up, sighed heavily and thought hard: “If this continues, there is a chance that my body is completely destroyed. I seem to be forcing myself too much. “

“However, this is the only way that he would be willing to look for those three things for me.”

Xiao Che got off the bed and changed his clothes. After taking off his outer clothes, he held the pendant that was around his neck, momentarily silent .. On the first day of rebirth, those overlapping memories raised great suspicion regarding this pendant. It was because in his life in the Azure Cloud Continent, he also had a pendant on his neck that was exactly the same as this! The pendant seemed to be made of silver, and could be opened to reveal a bright and clean mirror on each side. But that's all. There's nothing special about that.

In the Azure Cloud Continent, his master said that this pendant was on his neck when he found it. In addition, the one on his neck now had also been on his neck for a long time. Grandfather told him that this was something that his father, Xiao Ying, got from someone out of nowhere. Since he was born, it has been on his neck and also as a memory of his father.

Two lives ... the exact same pendant ... what exactly is going on here?

After changing his clothes, Xiao Che directly walked into the Sky Poison Pearl. Inside the green world, the red-haired girl was still floating quietly in a protective posture, showing no signs of waking up.

These two days, he tried to casually ask grandfather and Xia Qingyue if there was a place for red-haired people. The answer he got was “ini was the first time hearing it”. This caused Xiao Che to have a greater interest and suspicion towards the identity of this girl. However, he did not tell anyone about the whereabouts of this girl.

After changing into a set of casual clothes, he gave his body a stretch. Suddenly, an alluring and delicious smell flashed in front of Xiao Che's nose, causing his saliva to momentarily drip. He followed the smell and, upon seeing the pot of soup on the table, he rushed over quickly. As it opened its lid, a gust of steam accompanied by a seductive odor slowly rose back up.

“Ginseng and chicken soup .. Ah! My little aunt is the best! “ Xiao Chei's stomach immediately rumbled. He picked up the chopsticks and began to swallow his food. After eating for a while, the front door was pushed open, and Xiao Lingxi, who was dressed in light yellow, walked over nicely. After seeing the dish on Xiao Che's table, he opened his mouth to say: “Yi? Chicken soup? Smells good! And there seems to be a ginseng smell. Little Che, who made this chicken soup for you? Hee hee, and you didn't even tell me and instead secretly ate here by yourself! “

Xiao Lingxi's words made Xiao Che momentarily speechless: “Little aunt, don't tell me that you weren't the one who made this?”

“Of course not!” As Xiao Lingxi finished speaking, the expression in her eyes suddenly became strange: “Who else in this Xiao Clan will make chicken soup for you besides me? Hmm... Maybe it's your wife, Qingyue! It seems that your relationship as husband and wife is quite good. “

Xiao Lingxi's words clearly carried a sour taste. Xiao Che put down his chopsticks and murmured, “Dia .. how could he .. make chicken soup for me..”

This is definitely impossible!

“Hmph! It doesn't matter who made it for you. Since you like chicken soup, just spend it all .. I came here to tell you that the person from the Xiao Sect will arrive in the afternoon. Right now, the entire Xiao Clan was preparing for it. When the time comes, you have to be a little careful. You must not carelessly offend people from the Xiao Sect. “Xiao Lingxi said solemnly.

“I know. If the situation gets worse, I won't go out. They can't choose me. “Xiao Che replied indifferently.

“You can't stay inside.” Xiao Lingxi pointed her jade-like finger towards Xiao Che and firmly said: “From what the Clan Master said, the young master of the Xiao Sect wants to see everyone in the Xiao Clan … No one can't come! At that time, you mustn't forget your manners. “

“Then, there's nothing to worry about. It's not like a little aunt who doesn't know that I've always behaved the best. “Xiao Che replied with a smile. He then started to swallow his food again.

“Good. Then I'll go to dad first to help. It would be nice if you joined us after you finished eating chicken soup. “Xiao Lingxi turned around and left as soon as she finished talking.
