Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 1074: A Blind Cat Catches a Dead Mouse

Even though Lei Wang was a strong cultivator in the Unification Middle Stage, with his heart pierced, he was undoubtedly doomed.

"I told you, you shouldn't have come." Qin Yi said coldly.

Lei Wang's head slowly drooped down, his face filled with unwillingness, regret, and various emotions.

Under the shocked gazes of Yun Mengyao and others, Lei Wang's corpse turned into a dry body. His blood was completely drained by the Blood Flood Dragon; how could the blood of a strong cultivator at the Unification Middle Stage be spared by the Blood Flood Dragon?

"Poof!"

Qin Yi withdrew the Flood Dragon Spear, and Lei Wang's corpse fell from mid-air, shattering into pieces as it hit the ground.

Qin Yi descended from mid-air, and the Flood Dragon Spear had already vanished from sight.

Yun Susu and Jin Die looked at Qin Yi with some horror, his cultivation shocking them. However, with Lei Wang's head, they should be able to rescue the Queen Mother upon returning this time.

"Let's go." Qin Yi said coldly.

Yun Mengyao secretly pouted. Did he have to act so cool? Killing a master, shouldn't he at least show a bit of excitement on his face?

Little did she know, killing a Lei Wang was nothing to Qin Yi.

"Qin Yi, honestly speaking, just how strong are you?" Yun Mengyao couldn't hold back her curiosity and asked. Because she didn't know where Qin Yi's limits were at all. Whoever became Qin Yi's enemy, without exception, all died.

Qin Yi laughed, "I can easily kill you in a second."

Yun Mengyao: "..."

"Can you have a proper conversation?"

"I can, but I don't want to chat with you." Qin Yi looked disgusted.

Yun Mengyao was so angry that her chest hurt, "I don't want to chat with you either, hmph!"

She snorted heavily at Qin Yi and leaped into the air, flying toward the opposite side.

Qin Yi didn't fly, but walked across the river as if on flat ground, step by step reaching the opposite bank.

This move left Yun Susu and Jin Die quite shocked again.

"Showing off!" seeing Qin Yi walking over, Yun Mengyao couldn't hold back from ridiculing him.

"If you're capable, you show off too." Qin Yi said with disdain.

Yun Mengyao: "..."

Walking on water requires condensing water into a road, which requires extremely strict control of power. Although she can fly, it doesn't mean she can condense water flow.

Yun Susu, carrying Jin Die, flew over as well.

"Now we're on the territory of your Yunyue Empire, right?"

Yun Susu nodded slightly, "Ahead is Bolan City, it's the territory of the Cold and Severe War General."

"What do you mean?" Yun Mengyao asked, puzzled.

"Do you even need to ask?" Qin Yi looked down on her.

Yun Mengyao gnashed her teeth, "You talk like you know everything."

"Anyone with a bit of brains can figure it out. The Tianyue Empire has twelve kings, so the Yunyue Empire should have twelve corresponding War Generals. The Cold and Severe War General should be one of the twelve."

Yun Susu looked at Qin Yi with surprise, a deep admiration in her eyes.

"Is it like that?" Yun Mengyao asked Yun Susu.

Yun Susu nodded, "Young Master Qin is truly wise; it is indeed like that."

Yun Mengyao looked at Qin Yi, unconvinced, "Fine, you guessed it right."

Qin Yi: "..."

"This is wisdom, what does it have to do with guessing?"

Yun Mengyao would never admit Qin Yi was smart and retorted, "Just a case of a blind cat stumbling on a dead rat, what's there to brag about?"

Qin Yi helplessly shook his head, "Yun Mengyao, do you know what your problem is?"

"What is it?"

"It's that you're stupid but you're not willing to admit others are smart. Is it so hard to acknowledge other people's excellence? With the right mindset, you'll find the world is still beautiful."

"You're the stupid one. I figured it out long ago; I just gave you a chance to show off, and now you're the one bragging."

"Should I say thank you then?"

"You're welcome."

Qin Yi: "..."

The four of them walked forward, and along the way, Yun Mengyao couldn't stand the silence, poking fun at Qin Yi from time to time. However, whenever they argued, she mostly lost rather than won, yet she never grew tired of it, as if quarreling with Qin Yi was her greatest joy.

"Third Princess, how far is it from here to your royal family?" Yun Mengyao finally asked a useful question.

"At our speed, it should take about a month to get there."

Qin Yi was shocked; this Deserted Domain was truly unbelievably vast. It would take over a month to traverse an empire, the Moon Desolate Domain had an unknowable number of empires, and one could only imagine its immense size.

...

Having left the territory of the Tianyue Empire, they were no longer endlessly pursued, and the team's speed noticeably increased.

Originally, Yun Susu said it would take four or five days to reach Bolan City, but they arrived in three days.

The four entered the city without issue.

The cities of the Yunyue Empire were similar to those of the Tianyue Empire, primarily built with hard stone.

But Qin Yi still noticed a distinct difference in the expressions of the townspeople from those in the Tianyue Empire; here, the people appeared more leisurely and content, unlike the people of the Tianyue Empire, who walked with their heads down, looking worried.

Yun Susu had said that the governing philosophy of the Yunyue Empire differed from that of the Tianyue Empire, and it seemed she was telling the truth.

"Qin Yi, want to try this?"

Qin Yi turned around to see Yun Mengyao had bought four skewers of candied haws from a roadside vendor.

This treat was quite popular, no matter which world you were in.

"No, you have them yourself."

Yun Mengyao pouted, "If you don't want it, I'll take two skewers."

"Qin Yi, the customs and practices here are indeed different from the Tianyue Empire; the people here seem to live much better."

Qin Yi nodded slightly, "I hope it's not mere facade, only surface-level appearances."

Yun Susu hesitated, but in the end, said nothing. Qin Yi had said that seeing is believing, hearing is not, and he would gradually understand the differences between the Yunyue Empire and the Tianyue Empire.

"Third Princess, the people of the Tianyue Empire live so miserably; why don't they come to the Yunyue Empire?"

Qin Yi glanced at her, full of disdain, wondering if this woman was truly of the Primordial realm. Why did she seem so naive, not understanding anything?

"Due to royal dignity, the Tianyue Empire would not allow its citizens to come to the Yunyue Empire. They probably regard the populace as their personal property, much like how you wouldn't share your money with others; you'd rather spend it all yourself.

Also, discrimination should be a reason. If the people from the Tianyue Empire came here, they would be targeted; people here wouldn't welcome them. It's like my homeland; immigrants going to another country would ultimately face disdain."

Qin Yi said blandly.

Yun Mengyao was about to retort, but Yun Susu spoke first, "Young Master Qin has clear insight and keen observation; everything he said is correct."

"Stop praising him, he's just guessing. Just a blind cat stumbling upon a dead rat." Yun Mengyao retorted.

Qin Yi was speechless, "What's strange is that I guess right every time, while you always need to ask others—are you really so clueless that you can't even guess?"

Yun Mengyao wouldn't admit to being silly. Just as she was about to retort, they heard the urgent sound of horse hooves approaching from afar, accompanied by the piercing noise of something slicing through the air. The pedestrians hurriedly got out of the way, cries of alarm arising from the crowd as screams pierced the air.
