My Rich Wife

Qin Yu's heart tightened as he hurriedly asked, "How much longer?"     

"In less than a month, the dead river will disappear completely," Xiao Sheng said coldly.     

Qin Yu frowned and said, "Then have you... stepped into the Reversion Void Stage?"     

"No." Xiao Sheng did not hide anything from him.     

This made Qin Yu feel extremely uneasy.     

It was well known that Yuan Xiu was not in the ordinary Reversion Void Stage. His strength definitely surpassed that of Zhao Jing's.     

Just because Xiao Sheng could defeat Zhao Jing did not mean that he could defeat Yuan Xiu.     

"Even if I can't defeat Yuan Xiu, I can at least exchange my life for his," Xiao Sheng suddenly said as if he had read Qin Yu's mind.     

Qin Yu opened his mouth, feeling a little uneasy.     

With Xiao Sheng's talent, his future was limitless.     

It would be a pity if he were to exchange his life for Yuan Xiu's as he said. That was not what Qin Yu wanted to see.     

Although Yuan Xiu was strong, his cultivation method was destined to have a limited future. There was no need for Xiao Sheng to exchange his life with him.     

"I finally understand why so many people did not want me to take the risk back then," Qin Yu sighed slightly.     

Then, he tried to ask, "Have you ever thought of mobilizing other cultivators at the Reversion Void Stage?"     

Xiao Sheng scoffed at the notion.     

He laughed a little cold laugh and said, "I've never thought of pinning my hopes on others."     

When Qin Yu saw this, he said nothing more.     

"Just wait. A month's time is not too long," Xiao Sheng said with a smile.     

These words were true enough. For cultivators, a month was very short. Compared to a long life, it was almost negligible.     

The lifespan of a cultivator at the Reversion Void Stage could be as long as two thousand years. Even someone in the mighty relam had a lifespan of more than one thousand years.     

"I understand," Qin Yu nodded in agreement. At the moment, there was indeed no other way.     

After leaving Tianyun Sect, Qin Yu planned to go to Fengzhu Mountain because Qu Zhu had stepped into the Reversion Void Stage not too long ago.     

However, he was not like Xiao Hai or Jue Wu. No one knew if he would make a move or not.     

After arriving at Fengzhu Mountain.     

This place had already returned to its original appearance. Whether it was because Qu Zhu had stepped into the Reversion Void Stage, or because of the great changes in the world, the scenery of Fengzhu Mountain had become even more beautiful.     

Qu Zhu seemed to have sensed Qin Yu's arrival ahead of time. He had set up some food and wine in the bamboo forest and was waiting for Qin Yu.     

When Qin Yu walked into the bamboo forest, Qu Zhu raised his hand and poured a glass of wine for Qin Yu.     

Qin Yu slowly leisurely to Qu Zhu and sat down.     

He went straight to the point and said, "The dead river will disappear in a month."     

"I know," Qu Zhu replied.     

"Xiao Sheng hasn't yet stepped into the Reversion Void Stage. He might not be able to do so in the remaining month," Qin Yu continued.     

Qu Zhu chuckled and asked, "So?"     

"So... he might not be a match for Yuan Xiu," Qin Yu said gravely.     

Qu Zhu remained silent as he waited for Qin Yu to continue.     

Qin Yu had no choice but to continue, "Big Brother Qu Zhu, with your strength, I believe that you can at least defeat Yuan Xiu."     

"You want me to make a move?" Qu Zhu asked.     

Qin Yu grunted and said, "I can't think of anyone else besides you."     

Qu Zhu emptied the wine in his glass and said, "So many people have entered the Reversion Void Stage during this time. How come Xiao Sheng can't do it?"     

Qin Yu was stunned and immediately felt a little surprised by his comment.     

Qu Zhu continued, "Xiao Sheng has never been weaker than anyone his whole life. Regardless of talent or state of mind, he is far superior to others. How could he not be able to enter the Reversion Void Stage after such a long time?"     

Qin Yu frowned.     

Qu Zhu was right. With Xiao Sheng's ability, it was impossible for him to have so much difficulty to step into the Reversion Void Stage.     

It was not because he was unable to step into the Reversion Void Stage when the world was about to reach its end.     

However, the world had changed greatly. It seemed that he could step into the Reversion Void Stage at any time.     

"I see," Qin Yu seemed to suddenly understand something.     

He looked at Qu Zhu in surprise and said, "Do you mean that Xiao Sheng wants to use the half-step Reversion Void Stage to fight against Yuan Xiu? He wants to test his own limits?"     

"That's correct," Qu Zhu nodded.     

"But isn't it too risky? His opponent is Yuan Xiu, after all. That is the Lord of the North Plain who has been sleeping for many years," Qin Yu frowned.     

Qu Zhu smiled and said, "Everyone has their own dao technique. Some people are naturally adverse to risks and not radical. For example, someone like me."     

"And some people are born to put themselves on the edge of danger, or even death. They can feel the true meaning of life from taking these risks. As the saying goes, if you don't break it, you can't build it."     

"Xiao Sheng is the latter, and this is the dao technique he cultivates. Why do you and I need to worry about it?"     

Qin Yu opened his mouth but could find nothing to say.     

"This guy is really crazy," Qin Yu said with a wry smile.     

Qu Zhu sighed and said, "Yes, he and Xiao Hai are like two polar opposites."     

At this point, Qu Zhu changed the topic and continued, "And you, seem to be the middle ground between the two."     

Qin Yu did not say anything, for he did not disagree with this observation.     

"Why think so much? You should eat, drink, and take things one step at a time," said Qu Zhu as he patted Qin Yu on the shoulder.     

Qin Yu grunted and said, "I understand."     

After he departed from Qu Zhu's place, Qin Yu planned to imitate Xiao Sheng and travel around for a while.     

However, as soon as he walked out of Fengzhu Mountain, an ice-cold internal qi approached him.     

This internal qi was extremely familiar. It came from none other than the North Plain!     

Qin Yu's expression turned cold instantly. A murderous intent immediately burst forth from him as he quietly waited for the other party's arrival.     

It didn't take long before a person dressed in black robe came in front of Qin Yu.     

"You dare to show up in Nanzhou?" Qin Yu was the first to speak as he asked coldly.     

The other party said with a faint smile, "Sir, there's no need to worry. I'm here under the orders of the Godly King to issue a challenge to you."     

"Challenge?" Qin Yu asked with a slight frown.     

The other party nodded slightly and said, "That's right. Godly King Yong Ji said that in a month's time, the northern border will not rest until one of you is dead."     

"Yong Ji?" Qin Yu narrowed his eyes and could not help the smirk on his face.     

This piece of junk really did not give up on his evil intentions.     

"By the way, I'll remind you that Godly King Yong Ji has already stepped into the Reversion Void Stage," the black-robed man added casually.     

Qin Yu was not surprised. With Yong Ji's talent, stepping into the Reversion Void Stage was definitely not a difficult matter.     

"Go back and tell Yong Ji that I will wait for him in a month's time," said Qin Yu coldly.     

The black-robed man said with a faint smile, "In that case, you have accepted the challenge?"     

"What do you think?" said Qin Yu with a cold smile.     

The black-robed man said with a laugh, "Alright. I hope that in a month, Mr. Qin will be able to abide by your promise."     

After saying this, the black-robed man turned around and left.     

After he left, Qin Yu could not help the frown on his face.     

He sighed slightly.     

He originally thought that this war would not have much to do with him, but now it seemed that he was still at the center of the storm.     

"Looks like I can't waste any more time," Qin Yu sighed.
