The transmigrated wife is crazy and ruthless.

Chapter 35 What's gotten into Qiu Ziyue?

Qi Yuxuan was slightly taken aback; he hadn't expected Qiu Ziyue to ask that.

He considered for a moment, then replied, "Miss Qiu, you always touch on aspects that I don't want to think about deeply."

Seeing that he didn't answer directly, Qiu Ziyue said, "Young Master Qi is always like this, a bit of a taciturn person. I really find it very boring."

Upon hearing this, Qi Yuxuan asked, "Actually, Miss Qiu, I've always wanted to ask a question. You feel that I'm a quiet person, so it seems that you're not interested in me. Besides, we really don't seem to have much in common. Why did you make a bet that I, Qi, would marry you?"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Ziyue felt that the question was quite direct, but she didn't know how to answer it. So she thought for a moment and said, "Since Young Master Qi won't answer my question, why should I answer yours?"

Qi Yuxuan remained silent for a moment, his gaze passing over Qiu Ziyue as if searching for an answer, before finally settling on her face.

“Miss Qiu, a true partner should be someone whose soul resonates with mine, someone who supports me, someone who understands me even in silence. What I long for is someone who can weather the storms with me and share the moonlight with me. Do you and I share that kind of affection?”

Qi Yuxuan said.

A barely perceptible smile appeared on Qiu Ziyue's lips. She sighed softly and said, "Even if you drink chicken soup for the soul every day, it gets boring after a while. I don't like chicken soup for the soul. I just like to be relaxed and happy every day. I don't want to think about anything else."

"What is 'chicken soup for the soul'? You like happiness and relaxation, but have you ever thought about how other people feel?" Qi Yuxuan asked, puzzled.

“Chicken soup for the soul is just soul soother,” Qiu Ziyue said. “If you don’t even know that, I wonder if you didn’t graduate from junior high school and are illiterate?”

"What are you talking about, soulsoother, illiterate, junior high school graduate? What are you even talking about?" Qi Yuxuan wondered.

"I'm not talking to you anymore, it's very late, Mr. Qi Yuxuan, Mr. Yin Lihen, you can go back now," Qiu Ziyue was really getting impatient. She really thought ancient people were so boring, she couldn't understand a few sentences of English.

“What nonsense, Miss Qiu? You think we can’t even communicate in the same language? How could you make that bet?” Qi Yuxuan said again.

"Brother Yuxuan, it's really late, so we shouldn't stay any longer. Let's take our leave now."

Seeing this, Yin Lihen quickly pulled Qi Yuxuan aside to say goodbye, and they left the inn together.

At this moment, Qiu Ziyue's heart was not at peace. What Qi Yuxuan said earlier made a lot of sense. They couldn't even understand each other's language. What would happen if they really became husband and wife? Wouldn't that mean a lifetime of suffering?

After thinking it over and over, Qiu Ziyue unknowingly drifted off to sleep.

Back at their lodgings, Qi Yuxuan and Yin Lihen started chatting again.

Qi Yuxuan said, "What's wrong with me? My life was just fine, but it's been turned into a complete mess. I've run into some kind of demon. That Qiu Ziyue is a madwoman. She made some kind of bet that left me in an awkward position, and she didn't even give me an explanation."

Yin Lihen smiled and said, "I think you two are like a pair of bickering lovers, like a young couple arguing, it's quite funny."

"What? Didn't you see? We don't even speak the same language, we can't even talk to each other. What a strange woman, she's really infuriating," Qi Yuxuan said irritably.

“Brother Yuxuan, I think you’re really angry. This is the first time I’ve seen you like this. You used to be such a gentleman, which I found boring. No wonder the girl said that about you,” Yin Lihen said.

Upon hearing this, Qi Yuxuan became furious and said, "You're siding with that female demon, aren't you? You came here specifically to provoke me, didn't you?"

"Haha," Yin Lihen laughed, "I'm not going to say anything more, Brother Yuxuan, you should get some rest."

Yin Lihen took his leave.

Qi Yuxuan was alone in the room, unable to sleep for a long time. He took out a precious box and took out a jade pendant from it.

He gently stroked the jade pendant, a complex expression in his eyes.

This jade pendant is an important token between him and Tao Ling'er. Whenever he sees it, he is reminded of those past times and the series of events that have recently occurred.

He recalled his past with Tao Ling'er, but to his surprise, Tao Ling'er had passed away.

Tao Ling'er, a childhood playmate, was someone he had been through life and death with when they were young, but Tao Ling'er passed away first. His heart ached, and this pain grew stronger and stronger, making it hard for him to ignore.

He couldn't help but recall his past with Tao Ling'er, and inexplicably remembered all the little things that had happened since he met Qiu Ziyue, the piano she played on stage, the dances she performed, and her lively and lovely side...

“No,” Qi Yuxuan said to himself in a low voice, “I have absolutely no good feelings towards Qiu Ziyue. She is a female demon and a madwoman.”

Nevertheless, his heart was still filled with contradictions and struggles.

He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself down.

Even in the dead of night, his thoughts remained complicated.

Before Qiu Ziyue appeared, he thought his life was all set and his marriage to Qi Yushuang was about to be arranged. Everything seemed to be proceeding in an orderly manner.

However, Qiu Ziyue's arrival shattered this peace.

Qiu Ziyue's appearance was like a gentle breeze, shattering the original order in his heart.

Qi Yuxuan himself couldn't fully explain what this feeling was.

"What's wrong?" Qi Yuxuan asked himself in a low voice.

He closed his eyes, trying to calm the turmoil in his heart.

In the middle of the night, he put the jade pendant in his hand into the box.

He felt restless and conflicted, unable to calm himself down, so he decided to practice swordsmanship in the courtyard, hoping to forget his troubles.

Moonlight spilled onto the bluestone slabs, its silvery glow adding to the tranquility of the courtyard.

Qi Yuxuan took a deep breath, gripped his longsword tightly, and slowly walked to the center of the courtyard. He closed his eyes, sensed the surrounding atmosphere, and silently recited the sword technique's mantra.

A moment later, he opened his eyes, a resolute glint in them.

He raised his sword, and a flash of light pierced the night sky, as if to sever all the chaos and pain.

His movements were fluid and powerful, each move imbued with profound inner strength, as if the whole world moved with his sword dance.

The first move was "Flowing Clouds Chasing the Moon," followed by "Flying Goose Skimming the Shadow," and then "Dragon Soaring to the Nine Heavens"... His swordplay became increasingly fierce, each strike carrying the force of thunder, as if he wanted to pour out all the troubles in his heart.

Every move in the swordplay allowed him to temporarily forget his troubles. He felt as if he had become one with the sword, and his mind was at peace like never before.

However, when the final move was finished, he stopped, and the turmoil and pain in his heart surged up again.

"Is it because of Tao Ling'er's passing, or because of that absurd bet, or is there a possibility that he and Qi Yushuang will separate?" He really couldn't find the answer.

Just like when Qiu Ziyue asked him which was more important to him, Tao Ling'er or Qi Yushuang, it wasn't that he didn't want to answer, but that he really didn't know how to answer.

He was confused, unable to make sense of what had happened recently. He knew that no matter how much he practiced swordsmanship, he could not truly solve the problem in his heart. What had gotten into Qiu Ziyue that made her insist on making him marry her?

Qi Yuxuan sheathed his longsword and stood quietly in the courtyard, gazing at the bright moon in the night sky, lost in thought for a long time.
