Natalie's Whispering Sword and Living Dead Chapter 6

After Grace Shen walked away, Ethan Ye drank a cup of tea in one gulp. Thinking that he had not yet consummated his marriage with Grace Shen, he felt sorry for Ethan Ye; and thinking that he would probably not have this opportunity in the future, he couldn't help but sigh for himself.

After walking out of Ethan Ye's Weixuan, Grace Shen met Chuntao who had been waiting for her for a long time.

"Miss, what's going on?"

"It went smoothly," Grace Shen frowned slightly, "but I always felt that he was a little weird."

"What's strange about that?"

"It's hard to say." Grace Shen shook her head. "Anyway, I have already agreed with him that we will divorce after two years of marriage."

"Really? That's great, miss!" Chuntao was very happy.

"You may have to work hard for some time." Grace Shen suddenly held Chuntao's hand.

"It's okay, miss. As long as you can separate from him, I will do anything. Don't worry, I will keep an eye on him and prevent him from doing anything wrong or being hurt."

"By the way, from now on, you can give him whatever money he wants to spend, he can go to any brothel, he can choose any maid in the mansion that he likes, and he can take any Concub!ne. But you can't let him have children."

"Miss! You are letting him do what he wants."

"If he doesn't do something stupid, it will be hard to divorce him in the future."

"I see."

As soon as the sun rose, Ethan Ye went to wake up Qiu Sang.

As the saying goes, a day's plan begins in the morning. The mountain's spiritual energy is the most abundant in the early morning, which is the best time to get rid of the old and take in the new.

Shenzhuang is right against Tiangong Mountain, and the foot of the mountain is less than ten miles away from the west gate.

Coming out of the west gate of Shenzhuang, Qiu Sang yawned and asked, "Master, where are we going?"

Ethan Ye walked up to Qiu Sang and pinched Qiu Sang's face hard with his hand.

"Oh, it hurts, Master."

Seeing Qiu Sang sober up a little, Ethan Ye let go of his hand and said, "This place is less than ten miles away from Tiangong Mountain. Let's run over now, then go up the mountain and down the mountain, and try to be back before noon."

"Ah!" Qiu Sang was stunned with shock.

"Hurry up, the morning is the most important part of the day, don't waste this good time."

Afterwards, the master and servant ran towards the direction of Tiangong Mountain. Ethan Ye originally thought that he could at least run to the foot of Tiangong Mountain in one breath. But he was out of breath and couldn't run any more before he ran three miles.

He looked at Qiu Sang. Surprisingly, Qiu Sang's breathing was even, so he should have no problem running a few more miles.

"Master, take a break." Qiu Sang said.

Ethan Ye shook his head, thinking that he could not be worse than Qiu Sang, so he ran for another two miles and finally collapsed in the grass by the roadside.

"I can't take it anymore!" Ethan Ye gasped. His body was in much worse condition than he had imagined. It seemed he needed to take more supplements.

After resting for a while, the master and servant continued on their journey. When they arrived at the foot of Tiangong Mountain, the sun was already high in the sky.

"Young Master, are you still going up the mountain?" Qiu Sang asked.

After thinking for a while, Ethan Ye shook his head and said, "Forget it, I can't walk anymore, let's go to the stream and drink some water."

When he came to the stream, he ran into a white-haired old man sitting by the stream fishing. Seeing that a fish had taken the bait but he had not yet reeled in his rod, Ethan Ye stepped forward to remind him.

"Old man, there's a fish on the hook."

The white-haired old man who was resting with his eyes closed slowly opened his eyes. At that moment, Ethan Ye saw the cold sword intent in the old man's eyes. His heart was moved and he took a step back.

The old man chuckled twice, and while lifting the pole, he said with a silly smile: "I get sleepy easily when I'm old."

Seeing the old man's demeanor, Ethan Ye felt that he looked familiar. So he took a closer look and found that it was an old friend from that year - Xing Ziru.

Before Lin Wanfeng reached the pinnacle of kendo, Xing Ziru was the pinnacle at that time.

The two had agreed to have a fight on the snowy mountain, but before the agreed time Lin Wanfeng was killed.

Unexpectedly, eighteen years later, he who possessed Ethan Ye's body could actually meet Xing Ziru again in this unknown Tiangong Mountain.

Thinking about the high-spirited Xing Ziru back then, and then looking at the white-haired old man in front of him today, Ethan Ye sighed in his heart.

Seeing Ethan Ye staring at him for a long time, he stroked his beard and asked in confusion: "Has this brother seen me, an old man?"

Ethan Ye came back to his senses and shook his head, "The old man looks a lot like an elder in my family. I mistook him for him. How rude."

Zixingru shook his hand and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay. It's fate that you can be so similar to the elders in my family. I don't think I have seen you before. I wonder what you are doing in the mountains?"

"Exercise. To be honest, I'm just recovering from a serious illness and I'm really weak. I need to exercise to recover faster."

"My brother is still young, he will recover soon." Xing Ziru took out a fish from the wooden barrel, "This fish is fat and delicious, take it back to nourish your body."

"No, no."

"It's okay! I can't eat so much by myself, don't be polite, brother." Xing Ziru stuffed a fish into Ethan Ye's arms.

Ethan Ye looked at Qiu Sang, smiled at each other, handed the fish to Qiu Sang, and said, "Then I won't be polite, young man."

Afterwards, Ethan Ye and Xing Ziru talked by the river for a long time before leaving.

On the way back, Qiu Sang held the fish wrapped in lotus leaves and said, "Master, I didn't expect you and the old man to have such a good chat."

"It's not a good idea to just take someone else's fish and then walk away."

Qiu Sang laughed and asked, "Master, do you want to boil, steam or fry this fish?"

"Let's make soup. Didn't the old man say that this fish is fat and delicious, and it's perfect for making soup?"

noon.

Qiangxuan, where Grace Shen lives, is only separated from Ethan Ye's Weixuan by a garden.

In the courtyard, Grace Shen was concentrating on studying the family sword manual.

At this time, Chuntao, who was sent by her to follow Ethan Ye, came back with a bowl of soup in her hand.

"Chuntao, what are you doing?" Grace Shen looked at Chuntao blankly.

"My brother-in-law cooked the fish soup himself and asked me to serve a bowl for the young lady to try the taste." Chuntao explained.

"He found you again!" Grace Shen looked helpless, "Fall!"

"Miss," Chuntao hesitated for a moment, "It would be a pity to pour it out, why don't you give it to Chuntao."

Grace Shen glared at Chuntao angrily and said, "If you want to eat, just ask the kitchen to make it for you. Don't just say one bowl, a whole pot will do."

"Miss, you don't know, my son-in-law's method is a little different. He added some spices. If you don't believe me, smell it. There is no fishy smell at all."

"Okay, stop talking, just eat if you want. By the way, he didn't cause any trouble today, did he?"

Chun Tao shook her head, then impatiently drank a mouthful of soup, and said with a happy face: "He took Qiu Sang to Tiangong Mountain today. After leaving the west gate of the manor, the two ran all the way there, stopping twice on the way."

"Oh? What are they doing on Tiangong Mountain?" Grace Shen was very curious.

"It seems that they just wanted to do some morning jogging to exercise. They didn't go up the mountain, but talked to a fisherman for a long time by the stream. The fisherman gave them a fish, and then they returned home."

"Fisherman? What kind of fisherman?"

"He should be just an ordinary fisherman, he looks to be over 60 years old."

Watching Chuntao secretly take another sip of the fish soup, Grace Shen sighed helplessly.

At this time, in the second room.

Mrs. Liu has been feeling uneasy since she came back from Weixuan last night. If Ethan Ye insisted that she had stabbed him with a dagger and told her what happened yesterday, she would have no way to defend herself.

Because of this incident, she tossed and turned last night and hasn't closed a wink until now.

"Mom, mom!" At this time her second son Shen Xiaosheng hurriedly ran to her.

"Brother Sheng, what's wrong? Is it possible that the eldest wife is here to settle the score?"

"Mother, no. That Ye is fine. I asked Cui'er to go to Weixuan to check on him. He is fine and is having a good meal with his maid in the yard. Later, I went to inquire and found out that they went to Tiangong Mountain for a hike early in the morning."

"How is that possible? I clearly did that last night. Ouch!"

Madam Liu suddenly stamped her feet fiercely and said with a sad face: "You and I were both fooled by that Ye! And that B!tch Chuntao, she knew he was fine but didn't come to tell me, which made me worried all night."

"Mother, the Ye family and the first wife don't take us second wife seriously now. What should we do? Should we just put up with this?"

Madam Liu frowned and shook her head, "There is still a long time to come, there will be plenty of opportunities to take action against them in the future."
