Chapter 315: Chapter 314: Overwhelmingly Dominant
Ye Fan suddenly stood up and said, "Enough, both of you! Stop bickering!"
"Ah!" both Qin Yanran and Su Qingxue shrieked, their eyes flashing wide.
"Shameless!" Su Qingxue’s curse was particularly venomous.
Ye Fan was speechless. How am I being shameless? It’s not like they haven’t seen me like this before. Then it dawned on him that he was, in fact, stark naked.
Su Qingxue said coldly, "Put your clothes on. Then we’ll see how I deal with you."
Embarrassed, Ye Fan had no choice but to get dressed. Qin Yanran then followed him outside.
Su Qingxue declared, "You are forbidden from doing that in my house ever again!"
"Isn’t it perfectly normal for a man and woman in love?" Qin Yanran refused to back down.
But Su Qingxue retorted, "This is *my* house. You are insulting *my* dignity. If you dare to do something like that with *my* man in *my* house again, don’t blame me for what happens next!"
"Oh? And what exactly would you do?" Qin Yanran challenged her instantly.
Standing nearby, Ye Fan was about to tell them both to calm down. But in the next moment, Su Qingxue simply raised her hand, and Qin Yanran’s body floated into the air.
This startled both Ye Fan and Qin Yanran.
"Ye Fan, save me!" Qin Yanran cried out in fear.
Ye Fan quickly said, "Honey, let’s talk this over! Getting physical will just ruin the mood!" He knew this was because Su Qingxue and the Flame Witch were slowly merging, along with the Witch’s terrifying True Qi.
"Hmph!" Su Qingxue suddenly dropped Qin Yanran. If Ye Fan hadn’t been there to catch her, she would have been in real danger.
Qin Yanran straightened her disheveled hair and glared at Su Qingxue. "Hmph, this isn’t over!"
She turned to leave.
"Yanran, where are you going?" Ye Fan asked.
"To find my sister!" With that, she departed, leaving Ye Fan and Su Qingxue alone.
When Ye Fan started heading upstairs, Su Qingxue asked, "Where are you going?"
"I’m going up to rest," he replied.
"Come back here!" she demanded. "I told you not to bring other women home. Are you trying to test my limits?"
"My dearest wife, when passion takes over, one can’t help it! You can’t blame me for that!" Ye Fan retorted.
But Su Qingxue gathered her True Qi and snapped, "Say that again. I dare you."
At that moment, Ye Fan realized the jealousy and rage weren’t coming from Qingxue herself but were fueled by the Flame Witch’s possessiveness.
Looks like I need to assert some manly authority here, or things are going to get completely out of hand.
So, he said to Su Qingxue, "What now? You want to fight? Let me tell you, even if you’ve merged with the Flame Witch and your strength is peerless for now, I’m no pushover either! I’ve had a breakthrough, so if we really go at it, it’s anyone’s guess who’ll be calling the shots!"
Ye Fan was putting on a tough front.
But just then, Su Qingxue charged. Feeling dismissive, Ye Fan reached out to block her attack. The moment her arm touched his, however, he felt an immense, truly terrifying pressure.
PFFT!
His hand was repelled by hers, smashing right into his own face. Blood gushed from his nose as he was sent flying backward, his hair a complete mess. It was a gruesome sight.
"I told you not to provoke me," Su Qingxue said coldly. "Hmph!" With that, she went upstairs.
A miserable Ye Fan staggered to his feet, looking like a beggar with his once-handsome hair now a tangled mess. This brief clash taught him one thing: his wife was truly not someone to be trifled with.
「That day」
As Su Qingxue sat cultivating in her room, Ye Fan knocked and asked, "Honey, are you going to eat?"
"Get lost! I don’t want to eat!"
The door was promptly slammed in his face.
"Jeez, if you don’t want to eat, then don’t eat. What’s with the temper!" Ye Fan muttered in frustration, the key issue being that he couldn’t beat her.
He also realized something else: Su Qingxue was changing. Her personality was becoming more and more like the Flame Witch’s—dominant and overbearing.
Ye Fan knew he had to increase his own strength. Otherwise, he would forever be suppressed by Su Qingxue, and the feeling of being beaten down by his own wife was truly awful.
「That evening」
Ye Fan received a call from Qin Mengyao.
"What’s up?" he asked. Whenever this sister-in-law of his came looking for him, Ye Fan felt like bad luck was just around the corner.
"Brother-in-law, it’s nothing much. I just wanted to invite you for a meal, just the two of us," Qin Mengyao said. "You have that Spiritual Medicine, right? Could you bring it along?"
Ye Fan understood immediately. His sister-in-law was after the Spiritual Medicine. He had indeed set some aside for her. Among his women, Luo Yazhi and Su Qingxue were already Martial Artists and had no use for it. Alice didn’t need it either. This meant there was still some of the marrow-cleansing Spiritual Medicine left.
"Sure," he said. "I’m on my way."
「At a luxurious restaurant」
The two met in a high-class private room where Qin Mengyao had already ordered a bottle of red wine.
She quickly asked, "Brother-in-law, the Spiritual Medicine?"
"Right here."
Ye Fan opened the box, revealing the Spiritual Medicine. Qin Mengyao was secretly thrilled. She was obsessed with her appearance, and after seeing her sister’s transformation, she was more eager than ever.
"Brother-in-law, thank you!" she said.
"Don’t be so formal with me!" Ye Fan laughed.
But Qin Mengyao continued, "Brother-in-law, I know there’s no such thing as a free lunch. For you to give me the Spiritual Medicine so readily, there must be a catch! Are you planning to take advantage of me? It’s fine. I can pay you with my body!"
With that, Qin Mengyao promptly pounced on him.
Ye Fan was completely flustered. I swear I have no such intentions!
He quickly pushed her away, saying, "No, absolutely not! Besides, we’re family! How could I?"
He felt he had no choice in the matter. If there were a few people in the world he wouldn’t dare accept "payment" from, Qin Mengyao was definitely on that list.
Qin Mengyao persisted, "It’s okay, Brother-in-law. I definitely won’t tell my sister. This will be just between us."
"We can talk about this later! Later!"
Just then, his phone rang. Seizing the opportunity, Ye Fan beat a hasty retreat.
"Hmph! You clueless fool! You think this lady can’t handle you?" she muttered angrily after he was gone, smashing her wine glass. "Just you wait! You’re the man I, Qin Mengyao, have chosen. You’re not getting away!"
It couldn’t be helped. She was just that kind of violent little witch—a lawless menace who gave even Qin Yanran headaches.
