The sect asked me to marry, and I cultivated to the pinnacle of martial arts!

As Jiang Qingge swiftly approached Lu Ye, her expression suddenly shifted slightly.

Jiang Qingge wondered if it was just her imagination, but she seemed to smell a faint, almost imperceptible scent on Lu Ye.

It doesn't smell like cosmetics; it's more like... a woman's natural body scent.

In that instant, a faint sense of crisis spread through Jiang Qingge's heart.

It's like you're guarding a gold mine, but everyone else is eyeing it every day.

"Huh, you've reached the fifth level of Grandmaster? Your advancement speed is quite fast."

Looking at Jiang Qingge's latest level of cultivation, Lu Ye was genuinely surprised.

In just a few months, she actually broke through two or three minor realms in succession.

No, it should be said that he regained the strength he once possessed, which was equivalent to two or three minor realms.

Coming to her senses, Jiang Qingge smiled slightly. A few years ago, he would only ask her if she needed to take her medicine, but now he would praise her.

Progress, significant progress.

"It's all thanks to you, my husband. Ever since you took me to that Black Forest Swamp and we found that thing, I've felt that my cultivation speed hasn't slowed down at all. Even at the Grandmaster level, it seems like I'm much faster than others," Jiang Qingge explained her situation.

The Empress's original power...

After thinking for a moment, Lu Ye asked, "Have you been feeling this way lately? Like wanting to go to a place like the Black Forest Swamp?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Qingge thought about it seriously for a moment and then shook her head.

Just as Lu Ye was showing a hint of disappointment, he heard Jiang Qingge say, "However, I have a feeling that when I break through to the Grandmaster level, I will be able to receive some kind of information."

Jiang Qingge said somewhat embarrassedly, "But I'm not sure how accurate this premonition is."

What was said in jest was taken seriously by the listener. Upon hearing Jiang Qingge's words, Lu Ye's expression shifted.

Jiang Qingge is currently unaware of her own identity.

Therefore, he was somewhat unsure about his own premonition, but Lu Ye knew this.

Generally speaking, such premonitions are 90% accurate.

Breaking through to the Grandmaster level and entering the mortal realm gives one the opportunity to sense the second Empress's essence...

If that's really the case, then one can develop a sense of one's own original power.

It would be much easier than searching the entire continent like a headless fly.

"You've been out there for so long, come in and sit down." Seeing Lu Ye still standing near the cave entrance, Jiang Qingge quickly pulled him into the cave.

“My father sent me a message a while ago.”

After Lu Ye sat down, Jiang Qingge continued, "He said that his son-in-law has found two extremely powerful guards for the Jiang family..."

At this point, Jiang Qingge was speechless.

At first, she thought that the extremely powerful guard her father mentioned was most likely a cultivator at the Innate Realm.

The next level up is martial arts grandmaster, which is already quite remarkable.

In the entire Northern Territory, which innate family is capable of employing Grandmaster-level guards?!

This is already a serious reversal of the Heavenly Principles!
Unexpectedly, her father told her that it wasn't some grandmaster guard, but rather that his son-in-law had sent him... a mortal realm grandmaster!

Two at once!

Upon hearing this news, Jiang Qingge froze on the spot, almost thinking she had misheard.

It was only after reaching the Grandmaster realm that Jiang Qingge realized just how powerful a Grandmaster in the Mortal Realm truly was.

And how rare it is in the North.

In the entire Northern Territory, on the surface, there is only her husband!
The ones before... were all mercilessly killed by her husband.

Two Grandmasters of the Mortal Realm as guards, and not just ordinary early-stage Mortal Realm experts, but mid-stage ones... To be honest, even in her wildest dreams, Jiang Qingge wouldn't dare to imagine such an extravagant setup, she wouldn't even dare to dream of something this big!
But unfortunately, it has now become a reality.

"Did you tell me that too?" Upon hearing this, Lu Ye nodded and said calmly, "Did you say anything else?"

“He did say…” Jiang Qingge’s expression suddenly became complicated. She glanced at Lu Ye and said.

"He also told me that I must never again bully you because you're easy to talk to, and if he finds out, he'll break my legs..."

"My husband, I'm sorry. I was indeed too unreasonable to you before because I acted on my own whims."

Jiang Qingge naturally took two steps forward, gently reached out and hugged Lu Ye, her face filled with sincere apology.

"By the way... Husband, why do you smell like a woman? Is it a sister you know? If it's convenient, you can bring her back to meet us."

At this point, Jiang Qingge finally took the opportunity to ask the question she wanted to ask.

A woman's scent?

Lu Ye was also taken aback.

In the blink of an eye, he roughly guessed it, and the image of Youluo couldn't help but pop into his mind.

But this happened a day ago, and she had showered afterwards, so how could she still smell it?

No wonder it's said that women are geniuses at investigation in some ways.

"No, I probably ran into a friend I know on the way," Lu Ye said after thinking for a moment.

"Is this Miss Lingxiang?" Jiang Qingge asked softly.

Actually... Jiang Qingge had already figured it out.

The young lady from the Falling Flower City, Miss Chen, seemed to treat her husband somewhat differently.

Including the previous banquet at the Wang family in Qingshan City, and the excitement he felt when he saw Lu Ye.

And on several subsequent occasions, Jiang Qingge, using her woman's intuition, was able to see...

Chen Lingxiang of the Chen family seems to want to lay a hand on her husband!
Only her naive personality prevented her from realizing that Chen Lingxiang's previous visit to her was merely an excuse to see Lu Ye.

Lu Ye was taken aback. How did this get back to Chen Lingxiang...?

While he might not dare to say it to others, Lu Ye could stand tall and say to Chen Lingxiang that his relationship with her was completely innocent.

"It wasn't Miss Lingxiang. By the way, did Lingyue contact you later?"

Seeing her husband so naturally change the subject, Jiang Qingge sighed inwardly.

If I had known this day would come a few years ago, I should have helped him change his clothes on our wedding night, and then...

It shouldn't have come to this point where they are only husband and wife in name only.

It's even possible that someone else has gone further than you...

Jiang Qingge harbored no resentment towards Lu Ye regarding this matter.

After all, it was she who was impulsive and didn't like him. Lu Ye himself even suggested that they could break off the engagement, but she refused.

Under these circumstances, the relationship between the two was essentially dead in name only.

He was definitely a normal man, and Jiang Qingge didn't find it strange that he had any needs.

Moreover, by now, Lu Ye's strength has already reached the top level in Xuanzhou.

Even the patriarch of a primordial family could marry wives and concubines to establish his own clan.

As a top cultivator in Xuanzhou, her husband must have more than one love interest.

Jiang Qingge was curious: if she were to have an extra sister, who would she be?
Could it be... that my sister really has a share?! (End of Chapter)
