Volume 3, Chapter 148 – She Was NTR’d by Me
“Do you really think I’m that kind of person?”
Qi Huang’s heartbeat quickened, but she maintained her composure on the surface.
“No? Then I’ll just refuse. I can’t stand being lovey-dovey with her anyway. As for Father’s matter, I’ll just think of another solution.”
Cheng Hongling once again made her stance clear.
“Wait! Accept their offer! For Father’s sake! I’m willing to sacrifice!”
Qi Huang panicked and immediately declared with righteous determination.
“Indeed, what a tremendous sacrifice you’re making.”
Cheng Hongling couldn’t resist another sarcastic remark before turning to the mother-daughter pair ahead. “Fine! I accept!”
“Giggle~ How wonderful! I knew Sister Hongling wouldn’t be able to resist my charm.”
Mu Ruoyi’s delicate face bloomed with joy as she affectionately pressed close again.
‘Delusional woman, truly shameless!’
Cheng Hongling rolled her eyes subtly and sidestepped the advance without a word.
“Good! Excellent! With such an outstanding daughter-in-law, how could my Shuiyu Valley not prosper?”
Valley Master Wen’s face broke into a confident smile before she added, “Don’t worry. Since you’re Ruoyi’s wife now, I’ll never treat you unfairly in the future.”
“Aunt Wen, let’s talk about the future later. For now, can Sister Ruoyi accompany me to find my father?”
Cheng Hongling suppressed her disgust as she spoke.
“Wait! No need to rush.”
Valley Master Wen, however, shook her head leisurely. “Since the marriage is settled, shouldn’t we prepare the betrothal gifts? Don’t you want the Water Exquisite Art heart technique?”
“Uh…”
Cheng Hongling paused before urging, “Then please hurry, Aunt Wen.”
“You won’t even call me ‘Mother-in-law’. Why should I listen to you?”

Valley Master Wen countered with an amused smirk.
“I really can’t say it! You deal with them!”
After struggling internally for a long moment, Cheng Hongling suddenly released control, letting Qi Huang take over.
Qi Huang materialized before the mother and daughter, caught completely off guard. Left with no choice, she forced an awkward smile.
“Huh? W-What’s going on? Why are there two Hongling-jie?”
Mu Ruoyi recoiled in shock, taking two steps back.
“No, this is her doppelgänger.”
Valley Master Wen recognized it immediately—after all, she was also an expert at the Incarnation Realm.
“A d-doppelgänger? Sister Hongling’s cultivation has already reached the Incarnation Realm? How is that possible? How old is she?”
Mu Ruoyi’s voice trembled with disbelief.
“I’ve underestimated you. A fifteen or sixteen-year-old Incarnation Realm expert has never appeared in Western Radiance Kingdom’s history. You could rival the top geniuses of those supreme immortal sects in the Central Continent. It seems entrusting my daughter to you was the right decision. Compared to longevity, fleeting romance means nothing!”
A deep sense of relief washed over Valley Master Wen’s mature features—clearly, she had harbored some hesitation before this.
Cheng Hongling’s expression flickered slightly upon hearing this. After all, she had only cultivated a doppelgänger—she hadn’t truly reached the Incarnation Realm.
“However, no matter how talented you are, you must first confirm your status as my daughter-in-law. You must call me ‘Mother-in-law’.”
Valley Master Wen’s tone abruptly turned stern.
“Call her, now!”
Cheng Hongling transmitted the command telepathically.
“She’s asking you to call her, not me!”
Qi Huang protested inwardly. She may have liked beautiful women, but that didn’t mean she enjoyed calling someone “Mother-in-law” 1 婆婆 (pópo), Husband’s mother from wife’s perspective —psychologically, she was still a man!
“Enough nonsense! Didn’t you say you’d sacrifice for Father’s sake?”
Cheng Hongling pressed impatiently.

‘This isn’t just a small sacrifice—it’s a massive one!’
Qi Huang grumbled internally, weighing the pros and cons. Calling her “Mother-in-law” would deal another devastating blow to her already tattered male dignity. But if she refused, not only would she lose the beauty, but what about her cheap father?
‘Fine! For Dad’s sake, I’ll endure!’
Gritting her pearly teeth, Qi Huang forced out the words with great difficulty:
“M-Mother-in-law.”
“Aiya! My good daughter-in-law!”
Valley Master Wen responded sweetly, her expression finally softening.
“What about me? You called her ‘Mother-in-law’, so shouldn’t you call me ‘Husband’ 2 相公 (xiànggōng), respectful way for a wife to address her husband in classical/historical contexts ?”
Mu Ruoyi piped up eagerly beside them.
‘Hey, hey, don’t push it!’
Qi Huang was dumbfounded. Calling “Mother-in-law” was already her limit.
“What’s wrong? If you can call me ‘Mother-in-law,’ why hesitate with ‘Husband’?”
Valley Master Wen’s willow-thin eyebrows furrowed.
“What do I do?”
Qi Huang frantically sent a mental message to her main body.
“Figure it out yourself!”
Cheng Hongling brushed her off casually.
“What do you mean ‘figure it out’? He’s not just my father!”
Qi Huang complained.
“Afraid of losing out? Fine! Once we find Father, I’ll make sure to tell him this was all your doing. That way, you’ll look like the filial one.”
Cheng Hongling replied magnanimously.

‘Tch! In his eyes, aren’t I just you anyway?’
Qi Huang couldn’t help but grumble internally. Seeing the mother-daughter pair growing impatient, she steeled herself and attempted a weak excuse:
“It’s not that I won’t call you, but since we’re both girls, shouldn’t I call you ‘Wife’ instead?”
“Ohoho! So Little Sister wants to be the ‘top’!”
Mu Ruoyi burst into laughter before teasing, “I understand how you feel, but I am older, aren’t I? Besides, you’re the one asking for a favor here—do you really have room to bargain?”
“I thought girls weren’t competitive? What’s her deal?”
Qi Huang asked her main body, bewildered.
“Who told you girls aren’t competitive? Girls just don’t compete with boys—just like how boys know to yield to girls. It’s basic courtesy! But between the same sex? It’s a whole different story! Got it?”
Cheng Hongling explained. As a girl herself, she understood exactly what was going on.
“Fine!”
Qi Huang sighed in resignation. She reminded herself that she was just a country bumpkin, not some lofty figure like her main body. What was her dignity even worth? Swallowing her pride, she called out:
“H-Husband!”
“Aye! My darling wife!”
Mu Ruoyi’s face lit up like a blooming flower as she immediately latched onto Qi Huang’s arm. The overwhelming pressure of her ample bosom pressed aggressively against Qi Huang’s slender limb, nearly suffocating her.
Qi Huang stiffened, her breath hitching. She tried to pull away slightly, only to feel an unbearably soft friction that made her legs go weak. Afraid to move further, her fair cheeks flushed crimson like ripe apples.
“Hehe, so adorable!”
Mu Ruoyi giggled in delight, pinching her “little wife’s” cheek playfully.
“Are we done now?”
Cheng Hongling, unable to watch any longer, cut in impatiently.
“Not yet.”
Valley Master Wen shook her head firmly.

“What now? What else do you want?”
Cheng Hongling’s patience was wearing thin.
“A marital union isn’t just verbal. The couple must register at the county office—even in the immortal world, a relationship must be official. Otherwise, it’s nameless and baseless.”
Valley Master Wen reminded her.
“Sorry, I just turned fifteen this year. I can’t register.”
Cheng Hongling replied coldly.
“That’s easy! If the county office won’t register you, we’ll carve your name on my mother’s tombstone instead.”
Valley Master Wen proposed abruptly.
“What? A tombstone?”
Cheng Hongling’s cherry lips parted slightly in disbelief.
Qi Huang was equally stunned, her mind snapping back to clarity.
“Yes. My mother was Shuiyu Valley’s previous Grand Elder, a fifth-layer expert of the Divine Realm. Decades ago, she perished in battle against a Golden Zombie, taking it down with her. We buried her in a Monarch-grade Feng Shui treasure site within the valley.”
Valley Master Wen explained.
“Divine Realm, fifth layer? A Monarch-grade Feng Shui site?”
Cheng Hongling’s expression darkened at these words.
“What’s the problem? It’s just carving a name, right?”
Qi Huang transmitted her confusion silently.
“What do you know? Feng Shui sites are ranked into five tiers: Heaven, Earth, Monarch, Kinship, and Master. Any grave buried in a Monarch-grade or higher site absorbs the essence of the sun and moon, gaining spiritual awareness over time. If I agree to have my name carved there, I can never betray Mu Ruoyi in the future. Otherwise, the name on the tombstone will turn pink… while hers turns green.”
Cheng Hongling revealed the hidden meaning—
“It means she was NTR’d 3 cuckolded/betrayed/cheated on by me.”
