Fated Cultivation: I Have Max-Level Divination Skills Chapter 48 – Qjng Han’s Past

Chapter 48: Chapter 48 Qjng Han’s Past

Zhao Huai was stunned to see Yu Qinghan.

Why had Madam returned?

“Wait…”

Yu Qinghan was only surprised for a moment before her face quickly became serious again.

Her phoenix eyes focused, as if a deep gaze could illuminate the dim.

She held her long halberd and slowly advanced.

Zhao Huai wanted to greet her, but he felt an overwhelming pressure as she approached.

His heart thumped.

Could Madam have mistaken him for a fox demon?

If so, it would be a disaster.

With her halberd in hand, Yu Qinghan paced back and forth, her phoenix eyes fixed on Zhao Huai, her expression serious.

Zhao Huai felt helpless but obediently cooperated, standing in place with his hands raised.

His eyes like clear spring, clear and bright, he gazed straight back at her.

“Clang.”

Quickly, Yu Qinghan released her hold on the halberd, lunged forward, and threw herself into Zhao Huai’s arms, choking back tears.

“Husband…lt really is you.”

“I’m so glad you’re alright!”

At this moment, Yu Qinghan finally confirmed that the Zhao Huai in front of her was not a demonic imposter.

Zhao Huai felt the warmth of the delicate body in his arms and gave a small bitter smile, comforting her,

“I’m sorry to have worried you, Madam, but it’s all over now. Everything is fine.”

Yu Qinghan lifted her head from Zhao Huai’s chest, her eyes full of curiosity, she asked,

“Husband, how come you are here?”

Zhao Huai had already prepared an excuse, and with a sigh, said, “Madam, it’s a long story.”

He recounted his reasons for leaving the house, as well as his adventures leading to the Drunken Flower Tavern, albeit with a bit of embellishment. After listening, Yu Qinghan nodded and after a moment said,

“So, husband, you saw another me and ran after her, only to encounter a

demon. Luckily, a passing cultivator saved you?”

“Yes, she appeared to be a disciple from a sect. I was worried about your safety and asked her to find you,” Zhao Huai replied with a smile.

Hearing this, Yu Qinghan felt touched.

She could imagine Zhao Huai’s worried expression at the time, much like her own.

Hadn’t she come searching for him because she saw a demon impersonating her husband?

“And why are you here, madam?”

Zhao Huai touched Yu Qinghan’s cheek, asking earnestly.

Yu Qinghan pondered for a moment, “Like you, I saw a monster disguising itself as you. The demon is a fox capable of assuming many forms, kidnapping and eating people. Seeing him impersonate you made me furious, so here I am, tracking it to its lair.”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Huai showed no outward reaction, but inside, he was quite surprised.

Similar experiences? It seems the fox demon went out of its way to provoke my wife.

And the story I made up coincidentally fits?

But after a moment’s thought, he figured it out. The fox demon wanted to disguise itself as him, deceive his wife, and then pounce on him. Instead, it ended up being taught a lesson.

In retrospect, the fox demon brought this on itself.

“Be careful, husband. Do not fall for the wiles of demons. I’ve encountered them many times and they are all exceedingly cunning,” Yu Qinghan muttered, no sign of her earlier cold demeanor.

Zhao Huai dutifully held her hand, nodding with a grin: “Uh huh, I’ll pay attention in the future. But Madam’s cultivation level is so high, far beyond my expectations.”

Upon the mention of this, Yu Qinghan explained with a smile,

“When I was twelve, my father sent me to a sect to improve my martial arts. The Elders of the sect said that I had spiritual roots and was a natural genius. I stayed there for several years, which is why my cultivation level is quite high.”

“Oh? Well, that’s fortunate. The path to immortality is quite interesting, I’ve tried it myself, but sadly, I lacked the talents,” Zhao Huai gave a bitter smile.

“But then I left and followed my father into the army, fighting wars alongside my elder brothers,” Yu Qinghan recalled.

Zhao Huai was puzzled, “Why didn’t Madam continue cultivating in the sect? It seems quite comfortable there.”

Yu Qinghan shook her head, “The choice wasn’t up to me. At that time, the Yan Country was in decline, and a period of turmoil had just started. My father joined the Rebel Army.”

Zhao Huai was surprised, his eyes sparkling, “The Rebel Army, huh? They were quite formidable back then.”

He knew Yu Qinghan was from a military aristocratic family, but this was the first time he had heard about these details. He had assumed they were an aristocratic family that had been appeased by the government, not a faction from the Rebel Army.

Yu Qinghan noticed Zhao Huai’s odd expression and quietly asked, “Husband, it seems you have some opinion on the Rebel Army.”

“It’s not exactly an opinion. It’s just that my parents were killed in the turmoil of war, which was related to the Rebel Army. It’s hard not to feel a little uneasy,” he explained.

Yu Qinghan was taken aback, realizing what she had said. In a small voice, she said, “I’m sorry…”

“It’s okay. Chaos is inevitable in turbulent times. It’s been so many years, I have let it go.”

Zhao Huai gave a cheerful smile, showing he was not affected.Because he had never really cared much about the matters of Yan Country to begin with, but he could not come off as too indifferent either. A normal person would react in some way if their parents died, otherwise it wouldn’t be optimism, it would be heartlessness.

Besides. Yu Oinchan was onlv the daughter of a general. not some great figure.

Amid the tides of history, everyone was akin to a piece in a chess game, she could not do much and could only be manipulated by others.

If she really had any feelings about this, at best it would probably just be speechlessness.

When he had first taken over, he had thought about enjoying his days as a carefree Crown Prince, provided that Yan Country did not fall.

However, that dream had been shattered three years ago.

But, a casual comment might mean more to the listener.

The offhand remark from Zhao Huai had indeed caught the attention of Yu Qinghan.

She contemplated it, seemingly understanding something.

So, the reason her husband had such a relieved and peaceful temperament was possibly because he had witnessed the turmoil of war before, which was why he longed for an ordinary life.

If that was the case, he must despise the idea of joining the military, right?

In that case, she needed to keep her identity a secret even more.

Her husband might be able to barely tolerate an ordinary general’s daughter, but who could guarantee that he would be able to tolerate her true self? If the truth was considered, she was probably the instigator of this war.

Thinking about this, Yu Qinghan felt a faint sense of guilt.

Seeing her blame herself, Zhao Huai smiled gently, took her hand, and said,

“Let’s go, it’s getting late, we should head home. You’ve been busy all night, you must be tired.”

“I’ll cook something for you.”

Yu Qinghan responded with a light “hmm”, her eyes full of smiles.

No matter what, the past was the past.

It was better to live in the present.

At this moment, the sky was spangled with stars, the night was quiet, and the only sound was the chirping of insects.

“Whooosh!”

A hunter was moving through the pitch -black jungle.

He held a torch in one hand, a long saber in the other, walking across the grassland, making rustling sounds.

“Weird, where did that boar go?”

He wondered aloud.

“Once I catch this beast, I’ll have a livelihood for the next few days. I mustn’t mess this up.”

The boar used to sleep in the cave during the day and only came out to find food in the darkness. Its fur and tusks could be exchanged for quite a bit of money.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up.

Because he saw the black fur of the boar. In a mountain cave just about his height.

“So, it’s here!”

Without hesitation, he advanced delightedly.

As he stepped in, a chilly wind blew from behind him, extinguishing the torch in his hand.

“Huh?”

The hunter lost his vision and felt a bit panic.

However, he quickly brushed it aside when he saw the boar was right at his feet.

But when he squatted down to check the boar, he found it was already dead, its body shriveled and covered in sticky fluid.

“How did… it die?”

The hunter was dumbstruck.

The next second, a giant white web appeared, trapping him tightly.

From the lurking shadows behind, eight giant eyes suddenly lit up.

They were green and chillingly horrifying.

“Mmmph…”

The hunter’s mouth was tightly sealed by the web, his eyes wide open, his face filled with terror.

In an instant,

His body withered away at a speed visible to the naked eye, just like the boar from earlier.

After his body fell helplessly to the ground, a mature and beautiful woman came out of the cave, licking her lips as if she was satisfied with the taste.

She was dressed in a black silk dress, her hair loosely bound with a spider silk hairpin, adorned with a few bells, every step she took was alluring. Feeling her injuries, she looked in the direction of Jinzhou City and sneered,

“Immortal Yearning Sect, the disgrace of tonight, the Blackwind Cave will seek retribution for it!”

Having said that, she transformed into a gust of black mist and disappeared immediately.

All that was left was the extinguished torch lying on the ground, quietly emitting smoke.
