Against The Gods
Chapter 9 – Wife, Are You Sleeping?


Xia Qingyue did not ask anymore. Since even the white-robed lady with a high pedigree and noble status was convinced that it was "impossible", then there should not be the slightest chance for it.


"Qingyue, I know you are eager to repay your debt of gratitude since your life was saved at such a young age, even to the point of delaying your return to Frozen Cloud Asgard, he said, but you marrying her should have been enough to repay that obligation. . When you return to Frozen Cloud Asgard, your identity will be revealed. Although he may suffer more scorn after your departure, his status of being the husband of a Frozen Cloud Asgard disciple will remain intact. At least in this small Floating Cloud City, with such a prestigious status, no one dared to make him physically injured. Said the woman in white with an entertaining tone of voice.


Xia Qingyue gently nodded, “I hope so. ”


“His Profound Vein is disabled and he also has no other powers. He would never be able to accomplish any feat possible throughout his life. But you're beautiful and smart. The talent of your nature is born once every hundred years. Otherwise, our Madam will not let you break such rules and get married. Marrying you was his greatest fortune and fortune in his entire life. You're taking this step is fair enough. If her father is still alive and smart enough, she'll call off this marriage. I'll pick you up a month later. During this period, I will not go far. If you find an unresolved issue, write me a letter to give me information. ”


“I say goodbye to teacher. ”


The white-robed woman's chin turned around. Suddenly, a beautiful face with a hint of coldness was visible. She did not wear makeup because her skin was as smooth as a piece of snow-white jade. One could not help but think of the terms "beauty with ice flesh and jade bones" and "snow face with pearl lips" to describe it as they stared at them. Her face was beautiful and perfect. She was charming in a way that made people not even dare to look at her. One would think that he was as holy as he was haughty when looking into his eyes. She was like a fairy that ascended over Nirvana, untainted by anyone in the human world.


He opened the window and his body trembled slightly. As if accompanied by an invisible ice-cold spirit, he looked as if he had dissolved right where he used to stand.


Xiao Clan Main Hall, a fully equipped Guest House.


"Seventh Uncle Liu, please drink. "Xiao Che respectfully presented a cup in front of a gentle-looking middle-aged man.


The person called Seventh Uncle Liu stood up as he started laughing. He lifted his cup and dried the contents. He spoke with laughter: “My nephew, I am good friends with your father, now that I have seen you have formed your own family and married such a good wife, my heart is happy for you. ”


"Thank you Seventh Uncle Liu. ”


"First Elder, please drink. ”


First Elder of the Xiao Clan, Xiao Li took the cup and gulped down his entire mouth. He then violently slammed the wine cup onto the table. During this entire process, other than saying "hmph" through her nose, she did not say a word or look Xiao Che in the eyes. Even with that attitude, drinking a cup of wine Xiao Che had already revealed the large number of faces he gave Xiao Che.


Xiao Che did not speak as well and moved to the next table. As he walked two steps, Xiao Li spat on the floor and opened his mouth as he spoke with a cold and cold tone of voice within the range of Xiao Che's hearing: “The very fine flower has now been put in the dirt. Pshaw! ”


Xiao Che's expression remained unchanged. His consistent footsteps did not stop and it was as if he had not heard it. It was only if one did not look closely, as his eyes hardened and a deep cold condensation hid behind them.


He came to the Second Elder, Xiao Bo's side. Xiao Che bowed slightly: "Second Elder, Xiao Che offers you a cup. ”


Xiao Bo did not care to look into Xiao Che's eyes but he opened his mouth to lightly say: "Dear, help me drink it. ”


"Yes, Grandpa. “Say Xiao Yang without hesitation. He accepted the offer of wine from Xiao Che and drank it all down, only making the sound of a "teacher".


A cup of wine served to an elder but drunk by his children not only shows contempt anymore. It's a kind of public humiliation. After drinking the wine, Xiao Yang put down his cup and sat down in his chair, his eyes filled with unseen scorn and ridicule.


Xiao Che did not say anything more. He just slightly nodded and moved to the next table. As before, as soon as he took two steps, it sounded a cold snort: “Hmph, trash is trash. Even if the trash went up to the Xia Clan, it was still trash. That old Xiao Lie would actually depend on his granddaughter? Pshaw! ”


The voice contained deep humiliation, sarcasm, and of course jealousy. Even if one did not mention the wealth of the Xia Clan, if one could still brag about Xia Qingyue's incredible talent. If she had not been married to Xiao Che but instead to her grandson Xiao Yang, her laughter coming from her dream might actually become audible.


Xiao Che pretended not to hear and walked away with a smile.


Xiao Che finished his toast and sent the guest. The long banquet night is over. During this entire process, the people who displayed sincere congratulations and wholehearted remarks were so few that Xiao Che could count them with his ten little fingers. Countless people were very polite to her, after all today was her wedding day, but she clearly saw the humiliation in almost all of their eyes. Some people sighed, some people were envious of anger. The rest had unseen scorn and other negative thoughts such as "junk" and "worthless" written all over their faces.


His Profound Vein was disabled so it was a fact that he would not achieve greatness for the rest of his life because of it. So they did not have to be friends or be polite with Xiao Che. They didn't care if they offended him because even if he was offended, he couldn't do anything to them with his flawed Profound Vein. Before this destruction, they could have been immoral and uncaring, ready to shed their sense of superiority. They feel strong when looking down on people who will never be anything but people who are weaker than them.


That is the reality of human nature.


“Rest early. “Xiao Lie patted Xiao Che on the shoulder with a gentle smile on his face.


Xiao Che did not know what was hidden under his grandfather's current smile.


As Xiao Lie grew older, his emotions became more and more tender. But when he was young, he was like a candle that could be easily lit. If someone upset him, he would make that person ten times more angry and no one would dare to provoke him. Xiao Che knew very well that his grandfather's anger did not become soft due to old age, but because of him ….


In order to protect her useless grandson, she had to be kind and gentle. Even if they were looked down upon, as long as his bottom line had not been crossed, he would bear it the best he could. This way, there would be no enemies who would return to take revenge on his grandson after he died.


Looking at Xiao Lie's back, an image of an impolite and laughing face appeared in Xiao Che's mind. Xiao Che clenched his hands slowly as they slowly turned pale. His eyes sharpened and emitted a shadow of an ice-cold blade. Next, the corner of his mouth slowly opened and revealed a smile that would make one's hair stand on its tip.


Xiao Che must be a vengeful person. As someone who held a long grudge, in the past six years in the Azure Cloud Continent, his hate-filled heart remembered everything. He remembered all the people who were good to him but also all the people who were not good too. He kept it deep in his heart.until it was time to take revenge for even the smallest grievances.


"You will do it. .. sorry… . ”


A deep hoarse voice slowly overflowed from Xiao Che's mouth like a ferocious curse.


Since God gave me this opportunity to become someone else, how could I let Grandpa and I suffer through this intimidation!


Back in his small courtyard, the moon still hung high in the sky. Xiao Che walked to the corner of his courtyard and extended his left hand. Suddenly, a water arrow shot out from his palm.


During today's wedding, he couldn't avoid drinking a lot of wine. In the end, he drank so much that it was as if he could barely stand on his own. In reality, he was actually clearly awake. This was not him who had a high capacity to hold his liquor but because of the Sky Poison Pearl. All the wine he drank was transferred to the Sky Poison Pearl. Since the pearl had become one with his body, he manipulated it as if it were his own body.


The voice*hua lala*sound for a long time until all the wine has been removed from the Sky Poison Pearl. Xiao Che raised his wine-covered left hand and smirked. He rubbed the wine directly onto his face and held his breath until his face turned red. Stumbling, he pushed his bedroom door wide open as he swayed left and right, as if he was drunk.


The door was pushed open and the scent of wine followed Xiao Che as he staggered into the room as if he was about to stumble for a while. He awkwardly raised his head and looked at Xia Qingyue. Xia Qingyue sat on the bed with her beautiful eyes closed. It was very quiet. The dim candlelight flickered on her beautiful gentle face, adding a bewitching mystical feeling that no one could possibly resist.


Xiao Che's eyes brightened and his legs trembled as he walked towards Xia Qingyue: "Hehehehe, my wife .. I've let you wait a long time .. let's go .. we can now .. use the bridal room …"


Xia Qingyue suddenly opened her eyes and casually waved her right hand.


An irresistible cold force suddenly swept over Xiao Che and pushed him out of the door. Xiao Che fell down and nearly dropped the stone table in the courtyard.


Xiao Che was in pain and rubbed his butt. It took a lot of effort for him to get up and then he angrily roared, “Sial! I'm just kidding, you don't have to be so cruel! I'm so weak yet you hit me as hard as you can . Anyone would think that you were planning to kill your husband. ”


Door slammed.


Xiao Che pushed forward but found that the bedroom door was tightly closed.


Xiao Che suddenly became depressed .. This woman, not even talking about teasing, even jokes were taken seriously! Can I really live happily this way?


'' I am really just kidding .. Besides, I am only at the lowest level 1 of the Basic Profound Realm. Even if I wanted to do something to you, it would be impossible. ”


Xia Qingyue did not respond.


Xiao Che stood at the door for a long time but the door did not show the slightest sign of opening. Xiao Che's small courtyard only had one housing. There was no point in mentioning if he had another room because he did not even have a work house or a cage. If it was a normal day, he could quietly sneak into his aunt's place to sleep. But tonight was her wedding night, so it was inappropriate for her to sleep anywhere else.


When the cold night wind passed by, Xiao Che shivered and it seemed like he had become smaller. He knocked on the door again and weakly spoke: "Hey, you didn't really let me sleep outside, did you? You should know that there are many people in the Xiao Clan who want to lay your hands on you. They're very upset because tonight is our wedding night. They had realized that someone as talented as you, would not let me touch you even if we were married, so they must have been waiting for something to happen in order to laugh at me. If they came and saw that I was locked outside, I would forever be a laughingstock. ”


“No matter what, I'm still your husband. Do you really have the heart to helplessly see me laughed at? ”


The room was still completely quiet. Just when Xiao Che had the idea of kicking the door, the closed door finally slowly opened.


Xiao Che rushed in as fast as lightning and closed the door with a bang *.


Xia Qingyue remained on the bed with her previous attitude from before. Even though he was just sitting on the bed, he exuded a hazy noble elegance. Her beautiful eyes turned slightly, looked at the confused Xiao Che and spoke in a faint voice: "You mustn't be within five steps of me. ”


“…. . Then where are you gonna let me sleep? "Xiao Che rubbed his chin. The room was small; it only had a bed, a reading table, a dining table, and two closets. If one were to walk from east to west across the room, at most there would only be a size seven out of eight steps of distance in between.


“You slept in bed. '' Xia Qingyue stood up from the bed.


"No need!" Xiao Che flatly refused and sat in the farthest corner of Xia Qingyue and closed his eyes. Although Xia Qingyue was probably a hundred times stronger than him, her dignity as a man refused to let a girl sleep anywhere but the bed if she had a choice.
