My Wife is A Sword God

Chapter 588: Only through loss can one truly cherish

At noon, a sudden wave of scorching heat swept over the people of Imperial City.

It was clearly spring, and the temperature was just right, so how could there suddenly be such intense heat?

Sweat was dripping from the foreheads of those in the inner city, and the backs of those near the Qin residence were drenched in sweat.

At that moment, they felt as if they were standing next to a furnace!

At that moment, accompanied by a loud phoenix cry, someone pointed to the sky and shouted, “The sun, there are two suns!”

As they looked around in response to the voice, they actually saw a dazzling ball of fire rising into the sky.

Such a strange sight naturally attracted the attention of most people in the city.

Two suns floating in the sky, what a terrifying scene?

Just as the fireball rose into the clouds, flames erupted, dazzling the eyes, and the flame-covered wings spread out, each flap releasing torrents of flames.

With another loud phoenix roar, the clouds in the sky instantly evaporated, and even the water level of the Nine Bend River in the city seemed to drop a finger’s breadth.

Tree branches withered and the earth cracked.

A third of Imperial City seemed to have turned into a steamer!

The eyes of the city’s big shots were drawn to the Fire Phoenix, and inside Peaceful Academy, the students also looked out the window, their faces filled with astonishment.

Fei Xun and Yang Qian exchanged glances, unable to hide their astonishment.

“This is the Immortal Phoenix Fairy Fire Technique?”

Yang Qian frowned, “To display such techniques within the Imperial City, who exactly lacks restraint?”

“Senior Brother Yang, that direction seems to be Junior Brother Qin’s residence.”

“This…” Yang Qian reacted and was shocked.

In the Qin Mansion, Qin Feng looked at the fire phoenix in the sky, dumbfounded, and began to doubt life again.

In just an hour and a half, she had not only mastered the Immortal Technique, but was also able to unleash such power. Was there any need to be so monstrous?

On the other side, Liu Jianli looked at the black and white swirling pillar of energy in her hand, which resembled a dragon.

She looked up at the Fire Phoenix in the sky, then waved her right hand, and the pillar of energy shot into the sky at lightning speed, expanding in the wind!

With a burst of white light shining, the black air bands around the air column merged into the white light. In an instant, a huge black and white round door appeared. The powerful suction force emerging from the door seemed to be able to swallow even light!

And the huge suspended fire phoenix was continuously pulled into the round door, making a shrill cry, and finally its body was swallowed up by the round door and disappeared.

This move was of course the Immortal Technique – Heavenly Gate Turning Wheel Seal!

The strange scene occurred within about thirty breaths of time. Most people in Imperial City had not recovered from the shock and were still stunned in place.

Liu Jianli and Cang Feilan looked at each other with a gleam in their eyes.

“This Immortal Technique is not bad,” they both said in unison, giving the same assessment.

It’s not bad at all… Qin Feng’s face stiffened, unsure if it was because of the Phoenix Fairy Fire Technique, but at this moment, he only felt a burning sensation on his cheeks.

In the previous life, he had suffered the oppression of other people’s children, but in this life, he had to endure the oppression of his own wife.

The imbalance of power between men and women really embarrassed the transmigrator.

Fortunately, he had a weak stomach and liked to freeload…

Qin Feng cleared his throat and said, “Indeed, not bad. Master leads the way, but it’s up to the individual to practice. You two have not let me down. However, you must be careful not to casually use the Immortal Technique again like you did just now, lest you accidentally hurt others.”

The two nodded slightly at his words.

At the corner of the corridor, Fu Ruoyun suppressed the shock from her eyes and sighed, “I didn’t expect it to be the rumoured Immortal Technique.” 

“Your two daughters-in-law are truly exceptional. I wonder what they will be able to accomplish in the future. Perhaps in the future, the strength in your mansion alone will be comparable to a Domain of the Demon Slaying Department.”

Father Qin beside her didn’t answer, but the satisfaction in his eyes was obvious to everyone.

After a while, Father Qin spoke up, “So why did you come to the Imperial City?”

Fu Ruoyun truthfully replied, “Of course, it’s for the Western Domain’s Demon Slaying Department.” 

“The Western Domain has suffered heavy losses in the disasters, and one of the original Twelve Divine Generals, Gong Du, has betrayed us. I must find someone else to fill the vacant position of Divine General.” 

“However, among the remaining Thirty-six Stars, no one is capable of bearing such great responsibility. So, in desperation, I discussed it with Prince Chu and came to the Imperial City to find a candidate.”

“I see,” Father Qin nodded.

The Twelve Divine Generals and the Thirty-Six Stars are the pinnacle of the Demon Slaying Department’s fighting force, as well as the entity that intimidates demons and ghosts. Of course, they need to be replenished in time.

Fu Ruoyun seemed to be thinking of something and asked timidly, “What about you? Have you ever thought about returning to the Demon Killing Department?”

“If the world knew that the Northern Ghost Head was not dead and was still in the world, it would be an uplifting thing for the people of Great Qian.”

“Besides… even if there is a new commander in the Northern Domain and you cannot go back, you can still come to the Western Domain. I’ll serve as your commander. I’m sure no one will object.”

Although it was said in a joking tone, there was a glimmer of hope in Fu Ruoyun’s eyes.

Father Qin shook his head, his gaze fixed on the three people in the courtyard.

In the past, his heart was filled with a peaceful era, but now he only had room for this family.

This is life, only when you lose something will you cherish it more.

Fu Ruoyun was about to say something, but suddenly she heard footsteps behind her.

In the blink of an eye, Father Qin was gone.

Second Mother turned the corner, was stunned at first, and then she respectfully said, “So it’s Master Fu here. Lunch has been prepared, you can go and eat.”

“Thank you, I’ll go right away.” Fu Ruoyun smiled faintly, her grace was undeniable.

Second Mother couldn’t help but feel emotional. Such a beautiful woman, and in such a high position. There’s no telling who will be lucky enough to win her heart.

“By the way, Master Fu, have you seen my husband? For some reason, he’s been missing for a while.”

Fu Ruoyun pointed in a direction and replied, “I just saw him go that way.”

“I see.” Second Mother nodded slightly and took her leave.

Fu Ruoyun withdrew her gaze and looked up at the sky, sighing involuntarily.

Since reaching her current position, she had inevitably lost something.

“If only I hadn’t gone to the Western Domain to serve as a Divine General back then, would everything be different?”

Unfortunately, there are never that many “ifs” in this world.

……

Inside the palace, in the royal garden.

Emperor Ming was walking alongside Prince Chu.

During Prince Chu’s visit to the Imperial City, as well as seeking reinforcements for the Demon Slaying Department in the Western Regions, he also wished to secure certain resources for the soldiers from the Western Regions.

For example, the much sought-after gunpowder and the strange power that Qin Feng displayed in the night sky of Qiongyu City.

“After the demon and ghost disaster, the Western Region is in need of revitalisation. I can promise you that in the next batch of gunpowder we will allocate an additional ten percent to the western regions.”

“As for the other matter you mentioned…”

Emperor Ming pondered for a moment before speaking again, “You should know that in order to wield the power of the Literature Treasure, one must reach the Fifth Level of the Great Virtue Realm in the Literature Saint Dao Lineage. However, scholars are rare in this world.”

“If you want the boy from the Qin family to go to the western regions, I will not agree. He has talent, and I want to keep him by my side.”

“If you’re looking for other high-calibre Literature Saints, don’t come to me, go to the Grand Literature Academy and ask the National Teacher.”

Prince Chu shook his head when he heard this. “Your Majesty, you misunderstand my intention. I am not looking for readily available high caliber Literature Saint. Instead, I want to secure a potential future for the Western Regions.”

After a pause, he continued, “After the Imperial Examination System is implemented in the Imperial City, can it also be extended to the Western Regions?”
