What If I Can't Die?

Chapter 689 Differences (2)

Cao Wenhong also knew that he had gone too far, but he was unwilling to apologize. He turned his head and snorted, “My Cao family did not obtain any benefits either. You obtained them alone.”

Chen Ziqi’s body trembled.

Just because she did not ask about the Cao family’s Connate realm questions, it became her own benefit?

“What a joke!”

She mocked, “Without Young Master repaying me, I would have died of humiliation before I married into your Cao Family. Even if you didn’t die, you would have had to bear the humiliation. Without Young Master in the Cao Family, can you be so upright?”

Cao Wenhong did not know how to refute, and his face flushed red.

“That’s enough. It’s Grandson’s one-month-old celebration today. What’s the point of arguing?”

Cao Zongwan walked over and scolded his son, “You’re already so old. Aren’t you sensible? Apologize to your wife quickly!”

Cao Wenhong reluctantly said, “I drank too much today and was a little rash. I said some angry words. Don’t be angry.”

Chen Ziqi chuckled. “There’s no need to do this. I’ll tell you clearly that it’s not that I don’t want to ask, but Young Master is unwilling to answer. He also said that he’s just repaying my kindness.”

“Yes, yes, we’re not in a hurry.”

Cao Zongwan hurriedly said, but his expression was not too good. If that person could not guide him, it would indeed be of no value to them.

“I’m going to feed the baby.”

Chen Ziqi walked into the house with disappointment in her heart.

This was the true side of the Cao family. All of them were thinking about themselves and wished they could squeeze out all the value of Young Master.

However, the problem was that this was not the first time he had mentioned that he only cared about her. They still urged her to ask every day. They were clearly asking her to be hated by Young Master.

“Even if I ask, I won’t tell you casually. The more you force me, the more I won’t tell you.”

She was angry. She had been the eldest daughter of the family since she was young. She was a classic example of being amenable to coaxing but not coercion.

When she got home, she looked at her son who was drinking milk. “You’re the only one I can rely on now. You have to stand on my side in the future.”

After becoming a married woman, she finally understood the Cao family’s true colors. They cared too much about benefits and lacked humanity.

Song Shi’s existence had clearly brought many benefits to the Cao family, but they still wanted to squeeze more benefits out of him before he left.

Was life not good in the past?

Chen Ziqi had lived a rich and innocent life since she was young. She really could not understand this.

However, she understood that Song Shi, who was protecting her, would leave after a year.

Without Song Shi, she would probably be beaten back to her original state.

She had to accumulate some foundation before that.

On a new day, she began to generously ask Song Shi about the secrets of the Connate realm. This included what Cao Zongwan and the others had asked her to ask. The rest was what she asked because she wanted to break through to the Connate realm.

Song Shi saw some changes in Chen Ziqi and was quite interested in what would happen next.

He answered all the questions Chen Ziqi raised. The latter had successfully broken through to the Connate realm a week before he left.

This dealt a terrible blow to Cao Wenhong.

Cao Wenhong’s cultivation level was originally higher than Chen Ziqi’s. Moreover, Chen Ziqi had given birth and had lost some Essence Qi. It was really embarrassing to surpass him under such circumstances.

However, he also knew that this was related to Song Shi and did not dare to show it. Instead, he was much more polite to Chen Ziqi.

Strength determined status. From now on, Chen Ziqi would be one of the three Connate experts of the Cao family. He had to lower his head.

After Chen Ziqi broke through, she looked radiant and instantly became younger. Her temperament was outstanding and she no longer looked like a woman who had given birth.

She was happy for two days. On the third day, she came to Song Shi, who was about to leave, and said reluctantly, “Can you not leave?”

“We’re different. I have to leave.”

Song Shi looked at the much prettier Chen Ziqi. “It’s time for you to grow up and be qualified to be independent. You can rely on yourself in the future.”

His words were also indirectly saying that the Cao family was unreliable. In his eyes, everyone had to rely on themselves as much as possible.

“People with differences can’t work together…”

Chen Ziqi pouted. “You’re indeed too powerful. I can’t keep you here.”

Her eyes darted around. “I’ll work hard to cultivate and strive to see you again in the future.”

“Then I’ll wait.”

Song Shi chuckled.

“I wonder what realm you’re at now?” Chen Ziqi was curious. “Give me a short-term goal.”

Song Shi said meaningfully, “You’ve surpassed the Grandmaster realm. Work hard until you reach the Grandmaster realm first.”

“Ah, so strong? How long will it take me to do it? If I hadn’t just broken through to the Connate realm, I wouldn’t even dare to have this thought.”

Chen Ziqi was speechless.

Those who surpassed the Grandmaster realm could fly and burrow into the ground and had powerful Divine Powers.

“So be it.”

Song Shi smiled at Chen Ziqi. “I’ve been quite relaxed these past two years. We’ll meet again.”

“Wait, you haven’t said how to find you when I’m capable enough in the future.” Chen Ziqi hurriedly said.

“If you can’t find it, it means that you’re not capable enough.”

After saying this, Song Shi disappeared from the house.

Chen Ziqi looked at the empty straw hut and felt very disappointed. “He’s leaving just like that? Even though I told him in advance, it still feels so sudden.”

She was a little distracted as she muttered, “Is it really difficult to see each other again if our paths are different?”

Walking out of the room gloomily, Cao Wenhong, who was waiting outside, asked anxiously, “Is Senior still here?”

“He’s already gone.” Chen Ziqi said unhappily.

“He left? So soon? I didn’t even send him off. But did he leave anything behind?”

As Cao Zongwan spoke, he mentioned the possible benefits.

“Look at my empty hands. Do they look like they have something?” Chen Ziqi asked.

“I thought Senpai would leave you something else.”

Cao Zongwan smiled awkwardly.

“What he gave me is already in my body.”

Chen Ziqi shook her head.

Cao Wenhong’s expression darkened. What did she mean by in her body? Could it be that he had really been…

“What are you thinking about? I’m talking about the strength in my body!”

Chen Ziqi was furious. “Do you not trust me that much?”

“How would I dare? You’re a Connate Grandmaster now. I don’t dare to question you.”

Cao Wenhong said in a strange tone, “Actually, I’m very in favor of you following Senior. He’s very powerful. There are many benefits for you to follow him.”

“You’re unreasonable!”

Chen Ziqi was angry, but she did not scold him much. She left gloomily.

“Wenhong, watch your words.”

Cao Zongwan reminded him, “I know you’re a little disappointed because she broke through to the Grandmaster realm earlier, but you’re still husband and wife after all. You still have to maintain your love. Don’t quarrel all day.”

“I know. It’s just that I’ve encountered many difficulties in breaking through to the Connate realm recently, so I’m unhappy.”

Cao Wenhong said aggrievedly, “She, on the other hand, easily passed with Senior’s help.”

“You can’t rush something like this.”

Cao Zongwan shook his head. “Not everyone has her opportunities. You just need to accumulate them well. It’s not difficult to break through.”

At this point, his voice became softer. “You can also study the dual cultivation method and let her power feedback to you. It will be much easier for you to break through.”

“Yeah, of course.”

Cao Wenhong nodded. “But she’s been in a fit of anger these past few days. I’ll say something nice first.”

Song Shi, who was not far away, could not help but shake his head when he heard the conversation between the two of them. “Our paths are too different. I feel tired from all the scheming all day.”

A Yin-Yang symbol appeared under his feet. With a step, he used Divine Teleportation Footwork and left Jiangnan, leaving this place where he had stayed for a year.

During this period of time, through constantly exploiting loopholes and consuming the Black Wind Sect’s resources, his cultivation level had already reached the Golden Core realm. His physical body level was even higher and he could go to most places.
