Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 1066: Fire King City

Yun Susu was somewhat incredulous, "Is there really a man in this world who's afraid of his wife? Even if there were, it couldn't be Qin Yi, right? After all, he's so extraordinary."

Yun Mengyao's eyes seemed a bit dazed. In this world, men are respected, and women only have to obey. This is one of the reasons why she likes Earth, because there men and women are equal.

"It's not fearing his wife, but loving her," Yun Mengyao said with a faint smile. "As Qin Yi himself puts it, if you don't cherish your own wife, should you let others do it? The word 'fear' will never appear with Qin Yi. This guy is fearless, even boastful enough to say that the heavens and earth can't bury him."

"Really envy Bingbing," Yun Susu said earnestly. Even though she's a princess, once married, she must still take the man as superior.

"This guy might look carefree, but as a husband, father, brother, and friend, he's very qualified."

Yun Susu asked curiously, "With such an excellent man, hasn't your heart skipped a beat for him even a little?"

Yun Mengyao paused, then suddenly laughed, "I have a fiancé. This guy is so devoted to Bingbing that no other woman can enter his heart. Not quite, at least there was a woman who held a place in his heart, but sadly it was exchanged with her life. Don't fall for Qin Yi, you'll get hurt."

Yun Susu's heart was filled with curiosity about Qin Yi because his philosophy overturned her understanding of this world. It turns out, men can indeed be devoted to only one woman for a lifetime. In this world, having multiple wives and concubines is normal for men.

As they chatted, Qin Yi returned, chewing on a yellowish wild fruit.

"This wild fruit is so tasty! Juicy and sweet, you all should try it." Qin Yi took out several wild fruits to share with Yun Mengyao and the others.

None of them had eaten since last night, and they were indeed a bit hungry.

"Thank you."

"Thank you, Mr. Qin."

After Yun Susu and Jin Die thanked him, they accepted the wild fruits, as they were not very familiar with Qin Yi yet.

Yun Mengyao, however, didn't hold back, biting into the wild fruit with a crunch. But soon, her eyebrows furrowed, and her entire face scrunched up.

"Peh, peh..." She spat out the fruit pulp from her mouth, her previously smiling face now wrinkled like a bun.

Yun Susu and Jin Die looked at her, puzzled.

Yun Mengyao stuck out her small tongue, "What kind of terrible fruit is this? It's so sour and astringent."

Yun Susu looked at the bit-off wild fruit in her hand and then turned to Jin Die, "Is it sour?"

Jin Die shook her head, "It's quite sweet."

Yun Susu said, "Mine is very sweet too."

Yun Mengyao was stunned for a moment and turned to look at Qin Yi.

Qin Yi hurriedly assumed a serious expression, but it was too late; the gloating look on his face had been fully caught by Yun Mengyao.

"Qin Yi..." Yun Mengyao gritted her teeth and said, "Did you do that on purpose?"

Qin Yi looked thoroughly wronged, "Yun Mengyao, you're being too unreasonable. I kindly picked wild fruits for you to eat, and instead of being grateful, you turn on me like a dog biting Lv Dongbin. If the one you ate isn't sweet, it only shows your poor character. You should reflect on yourself more."

"I'll kill you first and then reflect on myself." Yun Mengyao, baring her fangs and waving her claws, pounced on Qin Yi.

"Crunch!"

Qin Yi took a bite of the wild fruit in his hand and said with a smile, "Really sweet."

With that, he turned and started running.

"You stop right there!"

"A real man doesn't stop just because you ask him to stop."

Yun Susu and Jin Die glanced at each other, both utterly bewildered.

They had both seen Qin Yi kill with their own eyes, decisive in action, even beheading a powerful figure like the Wind King with ease. Yet here he was, filled with childlike mischief, always enjoying playing tricks.

"Let's follow them," Yun Susu said.

...

...

At this time, Qin Yi and the others appeared outside a city, gazing at it from afar.

"If we want to reach the Yunyue Empire quickly, we have to pass through this city. But this city belongs to the Fire King. Although both are among the twelve kings of the Tianyue Empire, the Wind King is far inferior to the Fire King in terms of cultivation," Yun Susu said.

Qin Yi had long noticed the large characters on the city walls... Fire King City.

"What is the cultivation level of this Fire King?" Yun Mengyao asked.

Yun Susu replied, "I'm not sure. As one of the twelve royal kings, unless there's a national war, he generally doesn't make a move. The Fire King hasn't fought anyone for a long time, so no one knows his exact cultivation level. However, the last time he took action, his cultivation had already reached the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul. Now, decades have passed, and no one knows how strong he is currently."

Yun Mengyao frowned, "Is there no other way?"

"There is, the route lies through dense mountainous forests, fraught with dangers, and the journey is long. Compared to passing through Fire King City, it would take at least half a month longer."

Qin Yi glanced at Yun Susu, a complex expression flickering in his eyes, and said indifferently, "So it seems we can only pass through Fire King City."

"I'll leave everything to you, Mr. Qin," Yun Susu said with a slight bow and a smile.

Qin Yi's lips curled into an odd smile, but it quickly vanished.

Yun Mengyao said, "I have an idea."

Qin Yi looked at her curiously.

Yun Mengyao said proudly, "We'll go over it from the air."

"No, with the Fire King's cultivation, he would definitely notice us," Yun Susu said.

"Don't worry about that! Qin Yi has many methods; he can conceal our aura, allowing us to pass without a trace."

Yun Susu and Jin Die looked at Qin Yi with surprise.

Qin Yi looked at Yun Mengyao with full admiration, "How are you so smart?"

"Nonsense, when am I not smart?"

"Did you think I was praising you? There's a restriction over the Fire King City. Breaking it would surely alert the Fire King, and if we don't, we would still be discovered. So, Miss Yun, do you have any other ideas?"

Yun Mengyao was taken aback, glared viciously at Qin Yi, "You think you're so clever. I already knew there was a restriction over Fire King City."

"Really?" Qin Yi said with a teasing smile, "But when I said there was a restriction over Fire King City, I was just making it up."

"You..." Yun Mengyao clenched her teeth, waving her fist in front of Qin Yi's face before pulling it back, "I already knew, I was just teasing you."

"Actually, I was also teasing you; there really is a restriction over Fire King City."

"Qin Yi, go to hell!" Yun Mengyao clenched her fist, yet after considering the difference in their cultivation, she restrained herself to avoid her own misfortune.

Yun Susu asked softly, "Mr. Qin, is there really a restriction over Fire King City?"

"Yes," Qin Yi said earnestly, "This restriction is likely placed by a master; I can break it, but once it's broken, Fire King will be the first to notice."

"So, we can only choose to pass through the city or take the other route."

Qin Yi smiled, "Let's rest a bit and pass through the city."
