Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 1085: Straighten Your Tongue Before You Speak

Yun Susu still didn't know that Li Shuangcheng supported the Second Prince, but she was sure that Li Shuangcheng had already taken sides.

This time, relying on Qin Yi, she had defeated the Three Kings of the Tianyue Empire, which was no small achievement. Her brothers and sisters, who were eyeing the throne, would definitely become wary of her.

Li Shuangcheng didn't make a move on her in Bolan City because if something happened to her there, it wouldn't benefit him no matter whom he sided with. But leaving Bolan City, if anything happened to her, he couldn't be blamed.

She already sensed that the journey back would surely be fraught with danger.

She glanced subconsciously at Qin Yi; this man always gave off a reassuring vibe. Although there were misunderstandings between her and Qin Yi, she had to admit that if it weren't for him, she wouldn't have made it here alive.

Of course, Qin Yi didn't know Yun Susu's thoughts. After hearing Yun Mengyao's concerns, he said indifferently, "Don't worry, it won't happen."

"How do you know it won't? Li Shuangcheng dared to send people to kill me at home, let alone now that we've left Bolan City, sending someone to chase us down is all too normal."

Qin Yi sneered, "Trying to kill you at home was already very foolish. He won't be foolish a second time."

"That's not necessarily true; that Li Shuangcheng doesn't look like the brightest star."

Qin Yi: "..."

"How do you have the nerve to call someone else not too bright? Where do you get the courage?"

Qin Yi really couldn't grasp how this dim woman still had the nerve to mock others.

"What do you mean?" Yun Mengyao glared fiercely at Qin Yi.

Qin Yi shrugged, "Just what I said."

"You asking for a beating?"

Qin Yi: "..."

Ah, hopelessly foolish.

Yun Mengyao was stunned for a moment, then patted her head.

Qin Yi was a bit puzzled, "What's up, did your brain get waterlogged?"

"You're the one with a waterlogged brain. It's just odd that ever since I met you, I seem to have actually gotten dumber."

Qin Yi chuckled, "It's not that you've gotten dumber, it's that I'm too smart. Anyone next to me seems like an idiot, you're just a little silly, which is impressive."

Yun Mengyao: "..."

"You're really good at comforting people."

"Thank you!"

Yun Mengyao looked speechless.

Qin Yi was also curious, recalling that when he first met Yun Mengyao, she was cold and noble, appearing quite wise. But slowly, he realized she wasn't as smart as he thought. Moreover, a bit naive.

Seems like people can't be too familiar, or they can't even maintain their pretense.

"Let's go, silly or not, silly people are blessed. Smart people lose brain cells easily, and die sooner."

Qin Yi: "..."

This woman is really venomous.

"Miss Yun, what are brain cells?" Yun Susu asked curiously.

She noticed some of the words Qin Yi and Yun Mengyao used in conversation were unfamiliar to her.

"Brain cells are..." Yun Mengyao thought for a long time, but in the end, she helplessly realized she couldn't explain it. She looked at Qin Yi for help, but he pretended not to see it, almost making her curse.

Facing Yun Susu's eager eyes for knowledge, she had no choice but to brace herself and explain, "Cells are like talents, for example, someone cultivating very fast because they have cultivation cells, and those who practice swordsmanship..."

Qin Yi couldn't hold back and burst into laughter.

Yun Mengyao was incredibly embarrassed and glared at Qin Yi in frustration, "What's so funny?"

Qin Yi's mouth twitched, "I just wanted to praise you for being right; you have a talent for swordsmanship."

Yun Mengyao thought for a moment before realizing, angrily saying, "You're the shameless one here, scoundrel."

"I don't have a 'shame cell.'

"You do, you've always had them..."

Watching Yun Mengyao and Qin Yi bickering again, Yun Susu felt a bit stumped because she still didn't know what cells were?

By noon, they stopped by a stream for a short rest.

Qin Yi went for a walk in the woods, returning with a plump wild rabbit in hand.

In this world, rabbits were almost a meter high, who knew how they grew that big.

Qin Yi handed the rabbit to Yun Mengyao, "Skin and clean it up. We'll have roast rabbit for lunch."

Looking at the rabbit stained with fresh blood, Yun Mengyao suddenly said sweetly, "How can you eat rabbits? They're so cute..."

Qin Yi's body stiffened, and he almost dropped the rabbit, shivering with goosebumps.

"Yun Mengyao, speak properly, are you trying to disgust someone to death?"

"You're so mean, rabbits are so cute, how can you eat them..."

"Shut up, I'll handle it myself, okay?" Qin Yi said with a face full of defeat, genuinely beaten.

Yun Mengyao chuckled, stretching out her delicate, white hands like jade scallions, "These delicate hands of mine are meant for dominating the world, not for such menial tasks."

"Besides dominating the world, your hands have another use for picking peaches." Qin Yi retorted irritably.

Yun Mengyao's face flushed red, instantly remembering the time in the Primordial days when they fell into the Heavenly Pit, and in the darkness, she almost crushed Qin Yi.

"You're a scoundrel."

"Same to you, just because you did it doesn't mean I can't mention it."

Qin Yi muttered, heading toward the river to handle the rabbit.

Yun Mengyao gnashed her teeth, then picked up two rocks from the ground and threw them into the water, splashing Qin Yi. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

"Yun Mengyao, do you still want to eat?" Qin Yi turned and said in an irritated tone.

Yun Mengyao smirked, "Serves you right for being a scoundrel; I specialize in dealing with scoundrels."

"Heh, seems like you've encountered quite a few scoundrels? Didn't see before that you attract them."

"Hurry up with your work, enough chatter, speed up, I'm hungry."

Qin Yi: "..."

"Bang!"

Another rock splashed into the water, drenching Qin Yi.

Qin Yi turned to look at her, Yun Mengyao smirked, "Do you believe me if I say it wasn't intentional?"

"Do you believe I do?"

"Believe it or not, I believe myself."

Qin Yi: "..."

He slowly raised his hand, formed a seal with one hand, and suddenly the stream water coalesced into a Water Rope, rushing toward Yun Mengyao like a water python.

Seeing the situation was wrong, Yun Mengyao turned to run, but in front of Qin Yi, escaping was a dream.

The Water Rope instantly wrapped around Yun Mengyao's legs, hoisting her upside down.

This Water Rope was condensed by Qin Yi, even a hundred Yun Mengyaos couldn't break free.

"Qin Yi, let me go, damn Qin Yi, let me go."

Qin Yi smiled faintly, "Is this the way you ask for help?"

"If you've got the guts, keep me hanging."

Qin Yi burst into laughter, "Yun Mengyao, are you really stupid or just acting? You think this will threaten me? Do you think I can't keep you hanging?"

"You're bullying a girl, what kind of man are you?"

Qin Yi chuckled, completely ignoring her, continuing with his task. This woman just needed some disciplining, getting more and more out of control.
