Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 1184: Let Go
"Uh... you're such an unlovable woman. I was just trying to prevent you from falling."
Yun Qinglian retorted, "Am I a three-year-old child who would fall?"
"Then I'll let go."
Yun Qinglian hummed in agreement.
Qin Yi released his hand, and Yun Qinglian exclaimed in surprise as she fell off the chair, landing on the ground with a plop. Fortunately, the chair was not high, so she didn't hurt herself, but her posture was somewhat ungraceful.
"Qin Yi..."
Yun Qinglian awkwardly got up from the ground, her eyes blazing as she glared at Qin Yi.
Qin Yi looked completely innocent, "Didn't I say if I let go, you'd fall, but you didn't believe me. You told me to let go, it's not my fault."
Yun Qinglian wished she could punch that annoyingly smug face of Qin Yi. This guy sealed her cultivation just as he let go, making her limbs stiff, which caused her to fall off the chair.
"You..." Yun Qinglian pointed at Qin Yi, her finger trembling with anger, "... get out."
Qin Yi looked aggrieved, "It's not good to scold a doctor right after a consultation. I just finished checking your illness, and you're rushing me out."
"So it's my fault now?"
"Isn't that the case?"
"So tell me, Divine Doctor Qin, did you cure my illness?"
Qin Yi rubbed his chin, "According to the experience of this divine doctor, it's an old ailment caused by your cultivation technique. It requires the Beast Core of the Iron Armor Fiery Centipede for treatment."
Yun Qinglian: "..."
Isn't this just stating the obvious?
"So this gentleman has decided to personally hunt the Iron Armor Fiery Centipede and fetch its Beast Core to treat the princess's illness."
Yun Qinglian was stunned, her face full of disbelief, "Really?"
"Fake."
Yun Qinglian's pretty face immediately fell, unable to bear it any longer, she shouted, "Someone, get this man out of here. Qin Yi, get out of here, and I never want to see you again in this life."
This person is so annoying, making her grind her teeth with hatred.
More than ten guards from the Princess Mansion rushed in.
Yun Qinglian said, "Get this person out."
These guards were shocked, wondering how this person got in while they were guarding outside.
"You all, go out first, the princess is just playing with me."
The guards were utterly bewildered.
Yun Qinglian angrily said, "Who's playing with you? Why are you all standing there? Do it."
As the guards rushed over, Qin Yi helplessly smiled, then lightly waved his hand, and a strange wind rose, directly sweeping more than ten guards out of the door.
Yun Qinglian looked at Qin Yi with indignation, "Don't bully people too much."
Qin Yi rubbed his nose, "I was just joking with you, why are you so upset? Women shouldn't get angry so easily, it leads to wrinkles."
"Who's joking with you? Are we even that close?"
Qin Yi smiled wryly, "I was joking about not going to get the Beast Core of the Iron Armor Fiery Centipede."
Yun Qinglian was taken aback for a moment before asking, "What do you mean?"
"Sit down, let's talk slowly."
Yun Qinglian glared at him, then walked over to sit opposite Qin Yi.
Qin Yi smiled, "You just mentioned there was news about the Iron Armor Fiery Centipede."
Yun Qinglian asked uncertainly, "Are you really going? You're not lying to me."
"Ha ha ha..." Qin Yi laughed mischievously, seeing the hope in Yun Qinglian's eyes fading, hurriedly saying, "Of course, it's true."
Yun Qinglian's eyes lit up, "Why?"
"Why what?"
"Why help me?"
Qin Yi thought for a moment, "I don't know, maybe it's because I touched you just now."
Yun Qinglian: "..."
"Can't you be serious?"
"Can't you just tell me the news about the Iron Armor Fiery Centipede?"
Yun Qinglian gritted her teeth and said annoyedly, "I received news that the Iron Armor Fiery Centipede was discovered in Demon Ridge. Previously, I sent a team there, led by a Unification Late Stage cultivator, the others were in the Body Integration Realm, a team of ten, and they never returned."
Qin Yi slightly furrowed his brow, "What does that mean? They all died."
"Demon Ridge has treacherous terrain, toxic mist, swamps, and fierce beasts running rampant. No one has ever reached the depths of Demon Ridge. I thought sending this strong team, even if they couldn't find the Iron Armor Fiery Centipede, at least they could protect themselves. But unexpectedly, they went without a trace, alive, no person, dead, no corpse."
Qin Yi's expression grew serious, "Any fierce beast that produces a Beast Core would have cultivation comparable to the Body Integration Realm. If this Iron Armor Fiery Centipede truly exists, then its power is indeed formidable."
Yun Qinglian nodded slightly, "So I didn't dare send anyone else. Qin Yi, you better think clearly, this trip is dangerous, and if something happens to you, what I promised you naturally won't count."
Qin Yi looked playfully at Yun Qinglian, "Are you saying this to make me go, or not to make me go? Don't you want to cure your hidden illness?"
"Nonsense, of course I do, I even dream of it. You don't know, every time I cultivate, the pain is so unbearable."
Qin Yi laughed, "Actually, there's another way."
"What way?"
"Since your hidden illness comes from your cultivation technique, you just need to abolish your cultivation, and this hidden illness should disappear."
Yun Qinglian looked at Qin Yi dumbfounded.
After a long time, she slowly said, "Are you serious?"
Qin Yi nodded.
"Go to hell. I've worked hard for decades to achieve my current cultivation, and you want me to abolish it? I might as well die."
"Calm down, I said it's an option. Whether to use it or not is up to you."
"That's nonsense! This princess will never agree even in death."
Qin Yi rubbed his nose, "So, that leaves getting the Beast Core of the Iron Armor Fiery Centipede as the only way."
"You're really going?"
Qin Yi said seriously, "If I get the Beast Core of the Iron Armor Fiery Centipede, will you withdraw from the imperial succession?"
"I said, maybe I'll agree."
Qin Yi: "..."
"Are you teasing me?"
"No! I'm serious."
Qin Yi's mouth twitched a few times, "I'm going."
"Why are you swearing?"
Qin Yi: "..."
"I meant, I'm going to get the Beast Core of the Iron Armor Fiery Centipede."
Yun Qinglian's eyes flickered, "I haven't even given you a definite promise, yet you're going to risk it, are you crazy?"
"Because it's worth it."
Yun Qinglian's heart suddenly felt a warm feeling. Since her mother's death, no one had been this kind to her.
"Qin Yi, thank you!"
"You're welcome! The Iron Armor Fiery Centipede, such a companion beast, must be guarding some remarkable heavenly material and earthly treasure. I just want to know what rare treasure it is."
The warmth in Yun Qinglian's heart instantly vanished. So all along, this guy was after the heavenly material and earthly treasure protected by the Iron Armor Fiery Centipede.
"Get me a map, mark Demon Ridge on it. This gentleman will go for a walk, fetch the Beast Core of the Iron Armor Fiery Centipede, and heal your illness. What can I do, I'm a person who has always been tender-hearted and protective." Qin Yi said smugly.
However, Yun Qinglian looked full of disdain, thinking: don't make it sound so nice, you're clearly after the treasure guarded by the Iron Armor Fiery Centipede.
