Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 1142: Braided Pigtail

Qin Yi felt a bit of a headache; this little girl was quite the chatterbox.

"Wearing such heavy armor, aren't you tired?" Qin Yi asked with a smile.

The armor was made of iron, weighing at least ten to twenty kilograms.

Liang Qingqing pouted, "I'm so tired! But I'm afraid to take it off; once I do, Grandpa will find me."

"This entire city listens to your grandpa. By the looks of it, he won't rest until he finds you. How long can you hide?"

"I don't care; every moment of hiding counts. If I get a chance, I will sneak out of the city. Grandpa has no control outside the city."

Qin Yi was speechless. This girl probably didn't know that outside the city lay a vast wilderness with fierce beasts running rampant. Given her level of cultivation, she wouldn't last long outside before becoming a meal for the beasts.

"Have you ever been outside the city?"

Liang Qingqing shook her head, "Every time I sneak out, Grandpa seals the city gates; I can't get out at all."

Suddenly, Liang Qingqing blinked her sprightly eyes, looking at Qin Yi, "You're so powerful; why don't you take me out of the city?"

Qin Yi: "..."

"Aren't you afraid I might be a bad person?"

"You're a hero, how could you be a bad person? Besides, you look so handsome, surely you can't be a bad person."

Qin Yi was at a loss, "Good and bad people aren't determined by looks. Bad people don't have 'bad person' written on their foreheads. There are too many wolves in sheep's clothing; it's not about being pretty equating to good, or being ugly deeming bad."

This silly child thinks looks are everything?

"Either way, you're not a bad person," Liang Qingqing pleaded, "Oh great hero, please take me outside the city! I've grown up without ever seeing it."

Qin Yi feigned a bit of playacting; Liang Feilong had protected Liang Qingqing perhaps too much. In fact, such protection was not really beneficial to Liang Qingqing. If she truly faced danger, she wouldn't even have the basic ability to discern it.

"I can't take you. I'm here for your grandpa; if he finds out I took you away, he won't let me off."

"No, no, I'll protect you by then."

Qin Yi: "..."

"No matter what you say, I won't take you out."

Liang Qingqing puffed her cheeks angrily, resembling a cute little goldfish.

"You guys are all so annoying, not letting me go out and play."

Liang Qingqing sat down angrily, possibly finding the helmet too heavy, taking it off and placing it aside.

But Qin Yi was suddenly stunned.

Liang Qingqing's hair wasn't like a typical girl's soft and cascading down her back but was braided into long pigtails that fell along with the helmet's removal.

"Yiyi," Qin Yi murmured softly.

"What did you say?" Liang Qingqing asked, unaware.

Qin Yi snapped back to reality, shaking his head slowly, "It's nothing."

Liang Qingqing's braided pigtails reminded him of Duan Yiyi, who also loved to braid them, and they were very long, almost reaching her calves.

But now, that silly girl who called him her little husband lay in a cold ice coffin.

"Great hero, are you okay?" Liang Qingqing noticed the sudden sadness in Qin Yi's eyes, making others feel heartache seeing it. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Qin Yi shook his head, "I'm fine. Do you want to play outside the city?"

"Yeah, are you finally agreeing to take me?" Liang Qingqing asked hopefully.

Qin Yi nodded slightly.

"Wow, that's great! Great hero, you're the best."

A slight smile tugged at Qin Yi's lips; this girl's personality did bear some resemblance to Duan Yiyi.

Standing up, Qin Yi lifted his hand, and a sweep of purple light enveloped Liang Qingqing, disappearing in a blink.

"Wow, I'm flying! Great hero, look! The houses below are so small, and people are tiny, like ants."

With Liang Qingqing, Qin Yi stepped on the purple cloud, traversing through the skies.

Liang Qingqing was thrilled, finding everything curious and yelling loudly.

"Have you ever flown before?"

"No, Grandpa said it's too dangerous and never took me flying, but this is not dangerous at all. When I reach the Nascent Soul stage, I can fly on my own."

Qin Yi shook his head. The Liang Family had a girl every few generations, and she was cherished to the utmost—almost overly protected.

"Oh great hero, can you go faster?"

With a gentle wave of his hand, Qin Yi placed a purple barrier in front of Liang Qingqing. In the next second, the speed surged like an arrow shooting into the sky.

"If you're scared, just say it." Qin Yi was afraid of frightening her.

"Not scared, it's thrilling, so fast..." Liang Qingqing shouted excitedly.

Qin Yi smiled, this girl's bravery was quite impressive.

In no time, they flew right out of Flying Dragon City.

"Is this outside the city? Why does it seem like there's nothing here?" Liang Qingqing looked down at the mountain and forest, a bit disappointed.

Qin Yi chuckled, "That's right, this is the wilderness, nothing but mountains and trees. Of course, the dense forest is home to many fierce beasts."

"Really? How come I haven't seen a single one?"

"Want to see?"

"Hmm!" Liang Qingqing nodded excitedly.

Qin Yi took her to the top of a great mountain peak, then shouted loudly, his voice akin to thunder, shaking the trees below and making the mountains tremble.

In an instant, the previously tranquil forest erupted like boiling oil.

"Crunch, crunch..."

Alarmed, a massive Blast Bear over five meters tall fled, crashing through enormous trees.

A dozen fierce Green-backed Wolves, several meters long, scurried away in terror at Qin Yi's thunderous shout.

A saber-toothed pig, as big as a small mountain—actually a mutated wild boar—with tusks over two meters long, as thick as a leg, charged recklessly.

A giant silver kite, its wingspan over ten meters, was startled, cutting through the air, its wings slicing tree crowns like blades.

Fierce birds fluttered helter-skelter.

Fierce beasts rampaged recklessly.

Both frightened and curious, Liang Qingqing widened her eyes.

"Ah..."

Suddenly, Liang Qingqing screamed, clinging to Qin Yi tightly.

It turned out a Rock Python as thick as a barrel and over ten meters long had spotted Qin Yi and Liang Qingqing and was slithering up the mountain.

Qin Yi had seen a Rock Python while searching for an Earth Spirit Stone Mine in the Secret Realm, and it had been much bigger than this one.

However, this Rock Python was not small either, with fangs criss-crossed like inverted daggers, its tongue thick as an arm, flickering like a red lightning.

Its speed was swift, shooting toward Qin Yi as if intending to make him and Liang Qingqing a meal.

Liang Qingqing shivered, her voice trembling, "Quick, fly, it's coming... Great hero, fly..."

Qin Yi smiled wryly, shaking his head, then stepped down hard.
