In the northwest corner of the Sky Palace, there was a lonely wooden hut. Although the entire Sky Palace was built along the mountain and there were no palace walls, the location of this small wooden hut was too secluded and too small. Therefore, compared to the majestic Sky Palace, it looked very lonely and inconspicuous.
However, once this small wooden hut was seen, it would be especially eye-catching. It really did not fit in with the entire Sky Palace, because its existence destroyed the overall beauty of the Sky Palace.
Qin Qiuyue and Ning Tianya lived in this lonely wooden hut. They had been living here for four months.
This simple wooden hut was personally built by Qin Qiuyue five months ago, which was in April, after she arrived at the Sky Sword Sect.
As her acupoints were sealed by Di Xiaozhen the moment she arrived at the Sky Sword Sect, she could no longer use the inner Qi in her body. Therefore, it took Qin Qiuyue a month to build this small wooden hut.
Di Xiaozhen did not allow Qin Qiuyue to chop down a single blade of grass or tree on the Sky Peak. Therefore, she had no choice but to walk down the mountain step by step to a place far away from the Sky Peak to chop down the wood. Then, she would carry the wood up the Sky Peak bit by bit and build the small wooden house.
However, to Qin Qiuyue, this humiliation was only the most basic of all. In fact, it was insignificant.
Since Qin Qiuyue was here, she had no other choice. Di Xiaozhen requested that she live on the Sky Peak, but she did not allow her to stay in the Sky Palace. If she wanted a place to stay, she had to build a house with her own hands. To build a house, she had to cut down wood. However, to Qin Qiuyue, who had lost her martial arts and was even weaker than a normal woman, she had to use tools to cut down wood and build a house.
Of course, the tools were not given for free. In the entire Sky Sword Sect, Di Xiaozhen had the final say. Without her permission, no one dared to lend any tools to Qin Qiuyue.
Therefore, Qin Qiuyue became Di Xiaozhen's personal servant. She had to take care of Di Xiaozhen during the day, and only when Di Xiaozhen was resting or cultivating would she have the opportunity to take care of Ning Tianya. After a few days and nights, she finally received an axe.
Moreover, this axe had not been sharpened. It was blunt.
Di Xiaozhen's mentality had long been twisted. She had used all the methods she knew to humiliate others to the fullest.
However, Qin Qiuyue had no choice but to endure all this. This was because as long as the house could not be built, Ning Tianya, who had suffered from Qigong Deviation and broken meridians, could only lie on the cold cliff without anyone to care about him.
On the first day Qin Qiuyue arrived at the Sky Sword Sect, Di Xiaozhen told her, "The cliff is right there. If you can't take it, you can die anytime. I promise that no one will stop you. But only you can die. I still want Ning Tianya to repay the debt he owes me slowly. "
Qin Qiuyue remained silent.
When Qin Qiuyue arrived and saw Ning Tianya lying on the ground, she knew that no one else in the entire Sky Sword Sect would take care of Ning Tianya other than her.
However, her meridians had been sealed and she had lost all her martial arts skills. Under the watchful eyes of Di Xiaozhen, even killing Ning Tianya and dying with him had become an impossible mission.
It was impossible for her to even die with Ning Tianya. If she came here just to die before Ning Tianya, why did she come?
Di Xiaozhen knew this, which was why she dared to ignore Qin Qiuyue's pride and stubbornness. She was not worried that she would commit suicide, so she could humiliate and torture her to her heart's content!
This was the only reason why Di Xiaozhen asked Qin Qiuyue to take care of Ning Tianya!
Therefore, Di Xiaozhen continued to humiliate Qin Qiuyue. Qin Qiuyue's basic necessities were all restricted. Even under such circumstances, Qin Qiuyue still had to serve Di Xiaozhen well. She allowed Di Xiaozhen to order her around. If she wasn't careful, Di Xiaozhen would find a random reason to beat or scold her.
However, even in such a difficult situation, Qin Qiuyue remained calm and indifferent. Day by day, little by little, she built this small wooden hut, finally giving Ning Tianya a place to shelter him from the wind and rain.
Even though Ning Tianya had gone berserk and his meridians were broken, his mind was still clear. At that time, he was unable to move and could only watch helplessly as Qin Qiuyue lost weight day by day. One could imagine the pain in his heart.
They had a conversation like this before.
"Qiuyue, you can kill me, but you can't humiliate me. You don't have to endure this humiliation for me. We can both die, it's just a matter of who comes first. You go first, I'll go on a hunger strike."
However, Qin Qiuyue only gently tucked him in and smiled gently at him. "If I can't even endure this little bit of humiliation, why am I here?"
"I haven't finished telling you about our experiences in the past 19 years. You haven't even heard about how outstanding our daughter, Lingyu, is. Why do we have to die?"
"Those are all happy things. Compared to those things, this little bit of pain is nothing. Live well."
Of course, Di Xiaozhen heard every single word of their conversation. This drove her completely crazy. She became hysterical and her behavior became even more intense.
Di Xiaozhen had long discovered that there was a large amount of Celestial Spiritual Energy in Qin Qiuyue's body. She was overjoyed. Every day, while torturing Qin Qiuyue, she began to absorb the Celestial Spiritual Energy in her body.
Finally, she absorbed all the Celestial Spiritual Energy in Qin Qiuyue's body, turning it all into her own. Her cultivation level rose from the pinnacle of Qi Cultivation Level 6 to the pinnacle of Qi Cultivation Level 8!
After absorbing all the Celestial Spiritual Energy in Qin Qiuyue's body, Di Xiaozhen injected a fierce sword aura into Qin Qiuyue's body. Every midnight, this sword aura would wreak havoc and destroy Qin Qiuyue's meridians, causing her sleepless nights.
Just like that, day after day passed. Qin Qiuyue and Ning Tianya, this pair of ill-fated lovebirds, endured in the Heaven Sword Sect for half a year!
The location of the small wooden hut was personally chosen by Di Xiaozhen. She purposely chose the cliff at the northwest corner of the Heavenly Peak because there was almost no sunlight there all year round.
In the morning, when the sun rose, the small wooden hut was coincidentally blocked by a mountain peak in the east. Before 11 o 'clock, the sun would not be able to reach this place. In the afternoon, when the sun moved to the west, this place would be blocked by the taller Tomur Peak in the west. Once the mountain wind blew, it would be incomparably cold.
Only when the weather was clear at noon would the small wooden hut receive a ray of sunlight.
What was even more cruel was that at night, Di Xiaozhen did not allow Qin Qiuyue to light up a fire. Other than being able to shelter them from the wind and rain, the simple wooden hut could not withstand the cold at all.
When Qin Qiuyue first arrived, it was in April. Since then, the weather had gotten hotter and hotter. She had experienced a summer here, and it was slightly better then. Now that the mid-autumn festival had passed, the temperature outside had already dropped below zero degrees. Other than starving, they had to endure the cold.
But today, on the night of the 26th of September, Qin Qiuyue returned to the small wooden hut after the banquet at the Heavenly Palace had ended.
There were only two small wooden huts. Although they were very simple, Qin Qiuyue had cleaned them up so well that not even a speck of dust could be seen.
A crude stone brazier filled with dry firewood was lit by Qin Qiuyue. At this moment, the blazing fire illuminated the entire small wooden hut, giving it a warm feeling that it had never felt before.
Beside the brazier, Qin Qiuyue was dressed in a coarse cloth. Her long hair was wrapped in a coarse cloth scarf. Her calloused hands held a firewood that was more than half a meter long. She incessantly stirred the firewood in the brazier, trying her best to make the brazier burn brighter.
The current Qin Qiuyue was no longer the beautiful woman she was in Qingshui City. Her face was yellowish, and she was skinny. Her eyes were sunken, and her cheekbones were protruding. She was at least forty kilograms lighter than before. Her arms weren't even as thick as the firewood in her hands!
Originally, she had already reached Xiantian Realm Level Two. Furthermore, she had received a massive amount of Immortal Spiritual Energy from Ling Yun. She looked at least ten years younger. However, after being tortured in the Heavenly Sword Sect for more than five months, she now looked like an ordinary peasant woman in her fifties!
Even if Ling Yun and Ning Lingyu were here, they wouldn't dare to recognize Qin Qiuyue's current appearance. This was because the changes were too drastic!
However, the only thing that hadn't changed was Qin Qiuyue's beautiful eyes. Even though her eyes were sunken, her eyes were still bright and full of spirit. Her gaze contained determination, indifference, and heartache … as well as satisfaction. She was currently smiling at the person lying on the bed in front of her. Ning Tianya!
Compared to Qin Qiuyue, Ning Tianya was even more unrecognizable!
He was lying flat on the wooden bed. Underneath him was a thick layer of straw, and his body was covered with an old, tattered quilt. Just from the outline of the quilt, one could tell that Ning Tianya was even skinnier than Qin Qiuyue. He was truly just a bag of bones. His face was even more so. In the light of the fire, it looked like a piece of skin stuck on top of a skull. His face was dark green, and his appearance was horrifying.
Ning Tianya lay there with his eyes wide open. He stared at the roof of the wooden house. His originally dull and lifeless eyes actually began to glow with spirit.
After a long while, Ning Tianya tried to twist his neck. However, he seemed to have thought of something and quickly twisted his neck back. Still staring at the ceiling, he murmured, "Qiuyue, I'm going to die … Finally … I can die."
"Mmm."
This time, Qin Qiuyue didn't say any words of comfort. Instead, she smiled sweetly. "Don't be afraid. I'm here. I'll be with you."
Of course, Qin Qiuyue had already seen that Ning Tianya was already at the end of his rope.
Even though Ning Tianya's eyes had regained their spirit, it was only a momentary recovery.
"My current … appearance, is it … very ugly?"
Qin Qiuyue suddenly stood up and gently leaned over the head of the bed. She stared at Ning Tianya's horrifying face and smiled sweetly. "Compared to 20 years ago, you do look a little ugly. However, I don't look good now either. But that's nothing. After death, people will just turn into a pile of bones. "
"Qiuyue, I'm a sinner. Who would've thought that meeting back then would actually cause you to end up like this …"
Upon hearing this, Qin Qiuyue shook her head resolutely. "Tianya, don't say that. Even if we really did her wrong back then, we've already repaid our debts. We don't owe anyone anymore!"
"Hahahaha …"
Before Qin Qiuyue could finish her sentence, a burst of maniacal laughter rang out behind her. "What a pair of lovebirds who have been through so much humiliation. Even at this point, they're still in love with each other!"
The person who spoke was naturally Di Xiaozhen. Her words were filled with endless jealousy and hatred. Her voice was incomparably sharp. "Don't owe anyone anymore? Easy for you to say! "
…
Mmm, this chapter was indeed a little cruel. However, the next chapter will be better.
