Peerless Battle Spirit

The person talking was Supreme Rudao.

Qin Nan was completely stunned after hearing how she was addressing him. He even wondered if he had heard it wrong.

Why would Supreme Rudao call him her husband?

“Ugh, I knew it. It’s too much of a surprise that you can’t even react in time. I forgot to tell you before, whoever that refines the Dao-Melting Immortal Flames will have to become my husband.”

Supreme Rudao blinked, “Don’t worry, your cultivation might be weak still, but that won’t be a problem. I won’t pick on you because of it too.”

Qin Nan was lost in his thoughts for some time. He eventually recovered, but he was still stammering, “Well…Senior Rudao…I…I didn’t know…”

Supreme Rudao straightened her face and harrumphed coldly, “Still calling me senior?”

“Ugh, Meng…Mengyao…”

Qin Nan quickly changed the way he addressed the woman. He collected himself and said with a wry smile, “Mengyao, I think it’s too sudden for me. Besides…”

Supreme Rudao interrupted displeasedly before he could finish, “What is it? You’re not willing to become my partner? Or do you think I’m not worthy to be your woman?”

She purposely emphasized the words “not worthy”.

“No…no…of course not…”

Qin Nan subconsciously shook his head. However, he realized what he said would further worsen the situation. He took a deep breath to calm his thoughts and said, “Mengyao, the thing is, I already have partners.”

Supreme Rudao was stunned, “Who are they?”

The old man mentioned that even if she exceeded the Nine Heavens Supreme Realm, she was still unworthy to become Qin Nan’s partner.

Was there any woman that was worthy to be his partner?

Qin Nan hesitated a little before he briefly explained the relationship between him, Princess Miao Miao, and Jiang Bilan.

The situation was completely out of his expectations. He could only tell Supreme Rudao the truth so she would give up on the thought.

“Not bad, they are willing to sacrifice themselves for their loved one. They are indeed worthy enough to be your partners.”

To Qin Nan’s surprise, not only did Supreme Rudao not give up on the thought, her eyes glittered even, “But it’s very normal for a man to have many wives in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm. It won’t stop us from marrying one another.”

Qin Nan was utterly dumbfounded by the words.

Even though it was common for a man to have many wives in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, he never heard a Nine Heavens Supreme that was willing to share her husband with other women.

Besides, they had only just met, and his cultivation was only in the half-Heaven Immortal Realm.

Qin Nan calmed his thoughts and frowned, “Mengyao, I don’t mean to offend you, but even though you are a Nine Heavens Supreme, I…”

He could not get himself to marry a woman whom he did not understand and had no feelings for.

However, he was interrupted once again before he could finish. Supreme Rudao giggled and said, “That’s fine, my husband, I understand what you mean. Don’t worry, I won’t force you to marry me right now.”

She paused and wore a playful smirk, “We will surely develop some affection toward one another over time. We can marry later.”

She was like a hunter targeting his prey. The more Qin Nan struggled, the stronger the urge for her to hunt him down.

If two women from the Secondary Lower Realm were able to win Qin Nan’s heart over, she believed with her cultivation and her beauty, it was only a matter of time until Qin Nan fell for her.

Humph, unworthy?

When the time came, she would have full control over the situation. Qin Nan would be the one asking to marry her instead, and she might have to think twice before agreeing.

“Fine, whatever you say.”

Qin Nan wore a helpless look.

The woman had long made up her mind. It was pointless for him to try and convince her. Perhaps she would forget about it over time.

“Alright, we’ll discuss that later.”

Supreme Rudao’s eyes flickered cunningly as she spoke, “I sensed a terrifying aura bursting out of your body before. Did you just comprehend an Immortal Art?”

Qin Nan went back to his normal self as he thought about the Dao-Jolting Halberd. He did not keep it as a secret, “I did learn an Immortal Art, but it’s a Halberd Art. I was thinking of getting the Heaven-Shattering Saber back and see if I can turn it into a saber art.”

“I see, I thought it was a saber art, but that’s fine too…”

Supreme Rudao murmured to herself. She took out the Heaven-Shattering Saber and asked, “Then, can you show it to me? I’m pretty curious.”

She added, “Don’t worry, I’m not going to learn it. I’m a saber artist after all, but I can give you some suggestions to help you change it into a saber art.”

Qin Nan did not think twice since she already gave her promise. It was not like he could say no either. He nodded and held the saber firmly. He calmed his thoughts as he recalled the art in his mind.

After some time, his eyes were engulfed in white flames. His aura completely changed too, like an immortal saber that had lied still for ten thousand years being drawn out of its sheath.

“Fifth form of, the Dao-Jolting Saber Art!”

Qin Nan dashed forward at a shocking pace while slashing forward. The slashes tore the rift apart as a huge force swept forward.

“Such remarkable saber art!”

Supreme Rudao’s eyes flickered with astonishment as she murmured in her heart, “His talents are just too shocking. It’s supposed to be a Halberd Art, yet he already found a way to execute it with a saber. At this rate, he’s going to figure it out with just a few more attempts…”

Despite having the thought, she said calmly, “Stop, you won’t be able to transform the art at this rate.”

Qin Nan halted in his track and withdrew the saber intents.

“Se…Mengyao, did you notice something?”

Qin Nan’s eyes were filled with anticipation.

The person before him was a saber artist who had achieved the Nine Heavens Supreme Realm. Her experience and knowledge clearly surpassed his.

“You can only unleash the full potential of the immortal art with a halberd. If you use it the same way with a saber, it’s obviously going to be a lot weaker.”

Supreme Rudao said, “Do as I say; first, accumulate your saber intent in the Heaven-Shattering Saber, and…”

As Qin Nan listened to Supreme Rudao’s advice, the doubt in his heart was gone completely. He was able to use the art more smoothly. His eyes glittered when he noticed the improvements.

“As expected of a Nine Heavens Supreme, her comprehension of saber arts is significantly better than mine!”

Qin Nan mumbled. He was soon immersed in the joy of learning the saber art.

“Stop, that’s not going to work!”

Supreme Rudao suddenly blurted out, dragging Qin Nan’s thoughts back to reality. Did he understand it wrongly?

“Ugh, it won’t work like this. How about this, let me teach you in person.”

Before Qin Nan could react, he felt a soft body sticking closely to his back. A pale hand held his palm and grabbed onto the Heaven-Shattering Saber.

Qin Nan picked up a pleasant, alluring scent.

He could feel gentle breathing on his shoulder. He could even feel his heart beating quicker.

“Supreme…Supreme Rudao…what…what are you doing?”
