Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 1144: Giant Crocodile

Liang Qingqing pouted, her face full of unhappiness.

This girl is pure-hearted; she wears her thoughts on her face, much like Duan Yiyi.

Qin Yi smiled slightly, patting her little head, "Little rascal, can't you tell the difference between love and admiration yet?"

Liang Qingqing pouted, "Don't treat me like a child."

Qin Yi chuckled and tapped her head lightly, "I've said it before, you are a child."

"I'm not," Liang Qingqing grumbled, rubbing her aching forehead, then curiously asked, "Is your wife beautiful?"

"Yes!" Qin Yi nodded; Xia Yanbing's beauty couldn't be denied by anyone.

"How did you two meet?"

Qin Yi laughed, "Why do you have so many questions? Girls should talk less."

"Then why do mouths exist? Aren't they for talking?"

"They're for eating."

Liang Qingqing felt frustrated; she realized she was no match for Qin Yi in conversation.

"Big hero, let's go play over there."

Qin Yi followed where Liang Qingqing pointed and found a small, deep blue lake.

"Alright!" Qin Yi took her hand, and in a flash, they were beside the lake.

Liang Qingqing walked to the lake, stirring the water with her hand, "It feels so nice! If only Grandpa let me come out and play."

"You want to play outside? You saw it just now, there are many fierce beasts and creatures in these mountains—it's dangerous."

Liang Qingqing thought for a moment, nodding seriously, "I need to work hard at my cultivation to become as strong as you, so I won't be afraid of danger."

Qin Yi nodded slightly, "That's right, relying on others isn't as good as relying on yourself. Strong cultivation allows you to better protect yourself and have more say."

"But I don't like cultivation!" Liang Qingqing was a bit troubled, "It's so exhausting."

Qin Yi smiled, "The path of cultivation is indeed dull, tedious, and arduous. But you can't stop, for yourself and for those around you."

"Big hero, you must be very tired, right?"

"Hmm?" Qin Yi was slightly dazed.

"Your cultivation is so high, you must have spent all your time on it, right?"

Qin Yi smiled without saying anything; his situation was a bit special, not something he could easily explain to others.

Liang Qingqing took off her shoes, revealing her little white toes, and dipped her feet into the lake, splashing water everywhere.

"Big hero, the water is so cool and comfortable, you should try it."

Qin Yi hesitated slightly, then laughed and walked over, mimicking Liang Qingqing by taking off his shoes and dipping his feet into the water.

"Feels nice, doesn't it?"

Qin Yi nodded slightly.

"Big hero, how deep do you think the lake is?"

Qin Yi casually picked up a stone and tossed it into the lake, water splashing and rippling. He replied casually, "Probably not shallow."

"Big hero, do you think there are fish in the lake?"

"There should be," Qin Yi slightly squinted his eyes, feeling the breeze on his face, enjoying this rare relaxing time, casually answering Liang Qingqing's childish questions.

"But why haven't I seen any fish?"

"The fish must be hiding in the deeper parts of the water..." As Qin Yi spoke, he suddenly opened his eyes. Right, with such a large lake, why weren't there any fish? It didn't make sense.

The next moment, Qin Yi's face changed abruptly. He grabbed Liang Qingqing's slender waist and shot back like lightning.

"Boom!"

The water surface exploded, or rather, the ground where they had just been sitting exploded, mud flying everywhere, and a giant blood-red mouth appeared but missed its target.

Liang Qingqing was stunned by fear, staring at the giant creature in front of her.

It was a giant crocodile, with only its elongated blood-red mouth exposed. Just its mouth was two meters long, filled with crisscrossing fangs. Its body surface was dark gray, almost the same color as the mud at the bottom of the lake.

What a cunning beast.

If Liang Qingqing had said there weren't fish in the lake, even Qin Yi might have carelessly fallen into the trap. Earlier, he was too relaxed. This giant crocodile had been lurking in the mud right under their feet, completely unnoticed by him.

"Are you okay?" Qin Yi noticed Liang Qingqing's pale face, likely scared, and asked with concern.

Liang Qingqing slowly shook her head, "My shoes."

Qin Yi couldn't help but chuckle; both of their shoes had been left nearby. When the incident happened suddenly, he forgot about the shoes, which were swallowed by the giant crocodile.

The giant crocodile's eyes were large, as big as an egg, but on its enormous body, they appeared comically small like green beans, glowing with a green light.

"Splash!"

Water splashed as the giant crocodile lunged onto the shore.

What a creature, its body was seven or eight meters long, limbs thick and strong, leaving deep pits with every step.

"Big hero, run, it's charging at us, let's run..." Liang Qingqing's first reaction to danger was to flee.

Qin Yi felt speechless; such a small giant crocodile wasn't enough to make him run.

With a punch, his fist light rolled out like dry thunder.

"Boom!"

The charging giant crocodile was directly knocked over by the fist light.

To his surprise, the creature's thick limbs flailed wildly, flipping over and scrambling back up, seemingly unscathed.

Qin Yi was slightly stunned, it had formidable defensive power.

This giant crocodile's prowess was equivalent to a human at the Divine Separation Stage.

The giant crocodile fixated on Qin Yi, seemingly aware of his power, as if searching for the best attack opportunity.

Qin Yi smirked, his silhouette flickered as he charged directly at the giant crocodile.

The giant crocodile opened its blood-red mouth, biting towards Qin Yi, its foul stench almost making him gag.

"Big hero, watch out!" Liang Qingqing's little face was full of tension.

Qin Yi dashed like lightning, brushing past the giant crocodile, arriving directly at its tail. The narrowest part of the crocodile's tail was as wide as an adult's waist; Qin Yi grasped it tightly.

With a forceful exertion and a soft shout, the crocodile's sturdy limbs clawed at the ground in panic, gouging deep trenches but unable to prevent its soaring ascent.

Qin Yi lifted the giant crocodile.

Liang Qingqing was stunned, her mouth wide enough to fit an egg.

Qin Yi, holding the crocodile's tail, swung it wildly like a storm, then let go, the crocodile launching like a giant stone.

"Boom!"

Water sprayed, ripples surged, Qin Yi threw the crocodile into the lake.

"I'm in a good mood today, won't kill you, run away," Qin Yi laughed and walked to the lake to wash his hands.

Liang Qingqing felt her body lighten, flying towards Qin Yi.

"Let's continue playing," Qin Yi sat by the lake, dipping his feet into the water.

Liang Qingqing hesitated for a long time but didn't dare to lower her feet into the water.

Qin Yi chuckled, "Relax! It won't come back. Fierce beasts, like humans, fear death."

But despite Qin Yi's words, Liang Qingqing still didn't dare put her feet into the lake.
