Chapter 250: Chapter 250 This Husband Holds Grudges
That night, Yang Fei successfully shared a room with Qin Yanyang.
He only needed eight characters.
Shamelessly persisting and nagging endlessly.
Of course, the main reason was that they had been sleeping together every night for some time, so Qin Yanyang had deep down accepted the idea of sharing a bed and was not very resistant to it.
Moreover, there were great benefits.
After that mission, while being pursued by Luo Yong, Qin Yanyang’s injuries had not fully healed. During this time with Yang Fei, the two practiced together, and Yang Fei often administered acupuncture treatment, allowing her recovery speed to be more than five times faster than before.
The next morning, Yang Fei woke up first.
Qin Yanyang woke up soon after.
As their eyes met, Yang Fei reached out to embrace her, his gaze intense and burning as he looked at her.
Qin Yanyang’s heart trembled, and she looked away.
Last night, Yang Fei had been touchy-feely, trying to kiss her, but she hadn’t allowed it, only letting him kiss her cheek and forehead despite his relentless persuasion.
Now, seeing the look in Yang Fei’s eyes, which seemed like he wanted to devour her, how could she not know a man’s thoughts?
But she wouldn’t let Yang Fei succeed so easily.
It wasn’t that she was intentionally keeping him in suspense, but she felt that their relationship wasn’t deep enough, their understanding not thorough enough, so that step could not be taken.
In matters of the heart, Qin Yanyang was exceptionally serious and cherished it deeply, so even though she had a strong character, she would still make certain compromises for Yang Fei. However, she would firmly maintain the boundaries she set.
"Wife, in at most one week, your injuries should be completely healed. You won’t kick me out then, will you?"
Seeing Qin Yanyang look away, he knew his intentions wouldn’t come to fruition right now, but Yang Fei didn’t get upset and instead started speaking.
Qin Yanyang blushed and said, "What kind of person do you think I am? I let you sleep with me not just for you to treat me."
Yang Fei laughed and said, "How can we talk about using each other between us? We help and complement each other."
Qin Yanyang looked at him and countered, "What about you? How much of your strength has recovered to its peak level now?"
"Almost sixty percent," said Yang Fei.
Qin Yanyang blinked and asked again, "And how strong is sixty percent of your fighting power?"
Yang Fei smiled and answered, "With sixty percent of my power, facing masters like Tong Yan and those three from the Xu Family alone, I should be able to handle them with ease."
Qin Yanyang watched him in silence.
Seeing the doubt in her eyes, Yang Fei gently patted her on her plush, uplifted area, "Are you doubting my strength?"
Qin Yanyang, having been hit in that spot, immediately blushed and snapped, "Don’t do that."
Yang Fei feigned ignorance, "Don’t do what?"
Knowing he was doing this on purpose, Qin Yanyang realized that if the topic continued, she would only be more at a disadvantage, so she huffed, "I know your combat power is strong, but I don’t believe that you are at only sixty percent of your peak. If sixty percent of your power can easily beat those of the Unique Tier, wouldn’t that almost reach the power of the Innate Realm? If you were to recover to your peak, wouldn’t you be able to easily beat even those strong enough to be in the Innate Realm?"
Yang Fei nodded seriously and said, "Yes, the so-called Innate Realm fighters were nothing to me at my peak."
"Bragging," Qin Yanyang couldn’t help saying.
Yang Fei rolled his eyes, "I’m telling the truth, I wouldn’t openly admit this to just anyone other than you."
Qin Yanyang still didn’t believe it.
She was a martial artist with extraordinary talent, being monstrously talented to have achieved such prowess by the age of twenty-four.
So she knew what it meant to enter the Innate Realm before thirty.
Now however, Yang Fei was claiming his power had far surpassed the Innate Realm.
He was only twenty-three years old, one year younger than herself.
He said his peak combat power was stronger than hers, and she could accept that, having understood recently that this guy was indeed a freak, with too strong abilities, and she probably couldn’t beat him herself.
But to say his strength far surpassed the Innate Realm, she couldn’t accept that no matter what.
Yet deep down, she still hoped that Yang Fei would be as strong as possible.
Every woman has the desire to admire the strong.
Although she was the Heavenly Pride Girl who suppressed countless outstanding men, having absolute confidence and pride, she still hoped her man would be even more outstanding than her.
Yang Fei indeed brought her tremendous surprises.
But Yang Fei insisting that his peak power exceeded the Innate Realm, she truly had some trouble accepting that.
It was just too exaggerated.
"Believe it or not, just remember one thing, as long as your husband really recovers to his peak, I’m not saying I would be invincible, but certainly, there will be few who can threaten me. We’re together every day now, cultivating with incredible effectiveness, and I believe it won’t be long before you also step past the threshold of the Innate Realm," Yang Fei said to Qin Yanyang.
Qin Yanyang’s heart skipped a beat.
She had long been looking forward to stepping past that threshold. Ever since she started cultivating with Yang Fei with such potent effects, she had been secretly thrilled, knowing she was not far from crossing that great divide.
Now that Yang Fei mentioned it, she thought of the day after she had treated Zhu Tianshou.
Zhu Tianshou had already possessed the strength of the Innate Realm, but it was indeed Yang Fei who helped him take that final step.
Her husband was really impressive.
"In some time, I should also be able to recover up to sixty percent of my strength. Once I stabilize this power, or if you recover to your peak, and I can help you break through to the Innate Realm, we can go find Luo Yong for revenge. He dared to make a move on you; I must kill him," Yang Fei said harshly.
Qin Yanyang’s heart jolted, and she quickly said, "I have not dwelt on it, and you don’t need to keep thinking about this matter."
Yang Fei shook his head. "I am a person who must avenge wrongs. It’s one thing for him to come at me, but coming at my wife is unacceptable."
Qin Yanyang felt sweet inside, somewhat moved, but still tried to persuade him. "He did not show his true face; I’m not sure it was him."
Yang Fei laughed. "You didn’t say that before. I know you’re soft-hearted, thinking that he is an Innate Realm powerhouse, a talent of the Divine Continent Martial World, and with the conflicts among countries, any National Guardian is very important to their nation. But in my eyes, what does the National Guardian even matter? Since he has made his choice, he must bear the consequences of his mistaken choice."
Seeing his determined attitude, Qin Yanyang no longer pleaded.
After all, she was somewhat angry about this matter too, feeling that Luo Yong had gone too far, even wanting to cripple her.
"To thoroughly take down the Zhang Family, we need to lay some groundwork first. Since Luo Yong willingly became Zhang Family’s lackey, we’ll start with him," Yang Fei said to Qin Yanyang.
Qin Yanyang was silent for a moment, quietly nodding, her eyes showing determination, effectively reaching a consensus with Yang Fei.
...
One week later, Imperial City, Zhang Family.
At the retreat of Zhang Wenfeng, the gatekeeper Zhang Yunlong suddenly opened his eyes, shooting forth a brilliant gleam, his face showing joy.
Did grandfather succeed?
He quickly got up, about to ask, when suddenly his heart chilled, and he abruptly looked up into the sky.
There was nothing in the air.
Yet he had clearly felt someone observing him from above just now, and that gaze was like a deity watching an ant, carrying supreme oppressiveness.
Shock coursing through him, a hoary voice came to his ears: "Yunlong, come in."
Zhang Yunlong snapped back to his senses, hurriedly entering his grandfather’s retreat chamber.
In the chamber, upon a garden seat, the head of the Zhang Family, Zhang Wenfeng, sat with piercing eyes watching his grandson enter.
"Grandfather, have you... succeeded?" Zhang Yunlong said somewhat excitedly, his eyes filled with anticipation as he looked at his grandfather.
