The Rise of the Witch

Just as she was being affectionate, the courtyard gate was suddenly pushed open.

Su Wenling stood at the courtyard gate with Lan Nu and Yue Yue, looking at the scene inside. A woman was soaking wet, her clothes clinging to her body, outlining her graceful figure.

Another woman was clinging to Xing Yang's arm, acting coquettishly...

For a fleeting moment, Xing Yang actually felt a little guilty.

On the contrary, Su Wenling remained calm and said in a cool tone, "Husband."

Su Qiantong felt a little guilty and quickly let go of Ren Yanzhu's hand, saying together, "Greetings to the young lady!"

The two women naturally knew Xing Yang's identity. Upon their first meeting, Xing Yang told them his address. In addition, there had been a lot of commotion in Chaoge recently, as the eldest daughter of Yanzi Zhuguo had gotten married.

It's obvious from a casual thought that Xing Yang was shielding Su Wenling from harm.

Anyone with a brain could see this, but for those plotting against the Yanzi clan, Xingyang was indeed a stumbling block.

In Kyushu, Xingyang's existence thwarted the ambitions of those who sought to seize control of the Yanzi clan through Suwenling.

As for the Great Wilderness, with the existence of the Xuanyuan Clan and the Suiren Clan, no one dares to make a move for the time being.

Both sides are waiting, waiting for someone to take the lead.

Su Wenling walked gracefully into the courtyard, her tone indifferent: "What are you doing, my husband?"

Xing Yang pointed at Ren Yanzhu and said, "It's nothing, it's just that the two of them are too weak, so I taught her a set of body-strengthening techniques."

Then Ibusuki Qian Tong said, "This girl is making a scene here."

Su Wenling glanced at the two women and said, "As they are both subordinates of your husband, you should treat them equally."

Su Qiantong immediately exclaimed, "That's right, that's right! Young lady is indeed sensible. Sir, you can't show favoritism!"

Helpless, Xing Yang opened his mouth and spat out a silver gourd, tossing it to Su Qiantong and saying, "I just got this recently, take it and play with it."

Su Qiantong took the silver gourd, sensed it briefly, and immediately went crazy with joy, jumping up and down while hugging Xing Yang.

Only after Xing Yang pushed him away did he impatiently run to a corner of the courtyard, sit cross-legged, and begin the ritual.

Logically speaking, only those at the Dongxuan Realm can generate mental power, and only with mental power can one refine and control magical artifacts.

But Su Qiantong had just sensed that the gourd had clearly been refined, and now it was just missing a... well, a switch!

It's the switch that makes the silver gourd work, and she happens to be skilled in curses. She uses curses as the switch, relying on the silver gourd's own spirituality, without needing any mental power.

Lan Nu, who was following behind Su Wenling, saw this scene and remembered that Lou Ju had returned and brought back news. She immediately knew where the gourd came from and secretly nudged Su Wenling.

Even outsiders have this wonderful treasure, how can our own family be without it?

Su Wenling understood, opened her mouth but was too embarrassed to say it, and only said, "Miss Ren, let me have Yueyue take you to change your clothes."

Ren Yanzhu was soaked to the bone and feeling quite uncomfortable, but upon hearing this, she didn't refuse and said, "Then I'll trouble Miss Yueyue."

Yueyue quickly said, "Miss Ren, please come with me."

With that, he led Ren Yanzhu away from the courtyard.

Su Wenling then looked at Lan Nu and said, "Aunt Lan, it's rare for my husband's two colleagues to be here. Would you please prepare a spiritual meal to entertain them?"

Lan Nu understood, knowing that Su Wenling was shy and wanted to get rid of everyone else, so she said, "Don't worry, Miss, I'll go and get it right away."

With that, he plunged into the kitchen.

……

Apart from Su Qiantong, who was in deep meditation and unaware of the outside world, only Xing Yang and Su Wenling remained in the courtyard.

Xing Yang looked at her curiously and asked, "Does my wife have something to say?"

Su Wenling brought over tea, poured it for Xing Yang, and served it to him personally before saying, "I know I've already taken advantage of my husband so much and owe him so much, yet I still have to swallow my pride..."

I stopped there, unable to continue.

Xing Yang smiled and said, "It's alright, I don't care about these things, they're useless to me. Just say what you want to say."

Su Wenling bit her lip lightly, but still spoke, "I wish to ask my husband for a weapon to compensate for my lack of offensive power. For this, I am willing..."

Before she could finish speaking, Xing Yang tossed her a gourd as well; it was golden.

Su Wenling quickly caught it, her eyes filled with confusion.

Xing Yang said, "I said before that I would make up for it, and now I have. As for what you have to say next, don't say anything more. If you're using this as a bargaining chip, then I won't give it to you!"

Su Wenling remained silent for a long time before solemnly saying, "Then, thank you very much, my husband!"

Xing Yang nodded and said, "I nurtured this gourd with my own battle intent, and a battle intent has already emerged within its spiritual essence. Once you unleash this battle intent, it will be enough for you to deal with most enemies."

Su Wen probed with his spiritual power and sensed it for a moment. He was immediately shocked by the extremely fierce battle intent inside the gourd, which made his scalp tingle.

Not only most of the enemies, Su Wenling could almost feel that once this battle intent was unleashed, it would probably shatter even the heavens!

Moreover, this fighting spirit does not reside within the gourd itself, but rather arises spontaneously from the gourd's spiritual essence. Once used up, it can automatically regenerate. As long as the gourd's spiritual essence remains, the fighting spirit will not dissipate.

Aside from the fact that you need to wait for the gourd's spiritual energy to evolve after use, it has almost no drawbacks.

Even Su Wenling's usually aloof face showed no sign of shock: "Husband, this..."

This fighting spirit is terrifying, and the method by which it nurtured such a spiritual treasure is almost beyond imagination.

This is no longer a magical artifact that cultivators can create, but rather... a legendary word suddenly popped into Su Wenling's mind.

Witchcraft artifact!

A single hair casually plucked by her husband proved to be a magical artifact that left even a fully-fledged cultivator at the peak of the Cave Profound Realm helpless; the treasure it nurtured was actually a witchcraft weapon…

The husband's identity...

Su Wenling couldn't help but swallow hard, opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't ask the question. But her mind was filled with one word: witch!

……

After a long while, Su Wenling finally calmed herself down and awkwardly changed the subject, asking, "Was the gourd that my husband gave to Miss Su the same one?"

His tone remained cold, but a slight tremor couldn't be hidden beneath it.

Xing Yang gave her a puzzled look and said, "No, that gourd of hers was nurtured by me using the Devouring Divine Power. Anything inside, whether it's a physical body or a true spirit, can be digested."

Su Wenling's heart skipped a beat: Supernatural powers?!

For a moment, she was speechless.

Fortunately, at that moment, Yueyue brought Ren Yanzhu in, who had changed her clothes.

Ren Yanzhu, who had always been dressed in the Demon Suppression Division's uniform, changed into an apricot-yellow dress, which added a touch of charm to her heroic spirit.

Xing Yang looked him up and down and said, "You look much better now. But that face of yours, don't keep that long face."

Ren Yanzhu forced a smile and said to Su Wenling, "Thank you, young lady."

Su Wenling nodded and said, "It fits fairly well."

"Ren Yanzhu!" Suddenly, a shout came from a corner of the courtyard.

It was Su Qiantong, holding up the silver gourd in her hand, pointing it at Ren Yanzhu, and calling her name.

Ren Yanzhu subconsciously responded and turned around. Immediately afterward, a suction force appeared out of nowhere, and she was sucked up and flew towards the gourd. She shrank all the way and finally, with a "plop," she was sucked directly into the gourd.

"Hahaha! What a treasure! It's such a treasure!"

After releasing Ren Yanzhu, Su Qiantong hugged the gourd and laughed triumphantly.

Ren Yanzhu gritted her teeth, her pretty face darkening, and finally couldn't hold back any longer, so she raised her fist and punched him.

For a moment, the courtyard was filled with Su Qiantong's screams, but also with suppressed smug laughter.
