Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 1235: Mutual Admiration Society

Qin Yi looked at Yun Qinglian, using his eyes to ask whether Bai Yichen’s words were trustworthy.

Yun Qinglian nodded slightly.

Then, Yun Qinglian looked at Bai Yichen, "I see. Then Qinglian thanks Elder Bai."

Bai Yichen smiled, "You should thank Young Master Qin, after all, I didn’t really help."

Yun Qinglian showed a captivating smile, with a hint of ambiguity, "There’s no need for thanks between Qin Yi and me."

Bai Yichen’s expression stiffened slightly.

Qin Yi was also stunned, this ambiguous statement would easily lead to suspicion. He looked at Yun Qinglian, discovering her eyes were clear, seemingly unintentional. Yet he still felt Yun Qinglian said it intentionally.

"Cough... Why shouldn’t we need to say thanks, don’t make it seem like we’re very familiar."

Qin Yi was quite skilled at deflating the situation.

Yun Qinglian’s delicate face grew a bit sullen, glaring fiercely at Qin Yi.

Qin Yi immediately understood that Yun Qinglian had deliberately made her words ambiguous. He saw Yun Qinglian knew Bai Yichen’s intentions, but just wasn’t interested in him.

Overall, he thought Bai Yichen was a decent person. But feelings are often one-sided, the falling petals intended but the flowing water heartless.

Although Yun Qinglian didn’t seem interested in Bai Yichen, he didn’t want to be her shield, and casually added, "Eldest Princess, you can’t just thank Elder Bai because you’re familiar with him, this preferential treatment isn’t right."

Yun Qinglian’s delicate face twitched slightly, remaining silent.

Bai Yichen’s mouth curled slightly into a happy smile.

Qin Yi shook his head lightly, since ancient times the more affectionate one feels empty regrets, the hardest is unrequited love. Often just a word from the admired can bring joy for half a day. But feelings can’t be forced, a sycophant ends up with nothing.

However, this was their business, Qin Yi didn’t want to interfere.

Qin Yi looked at Yun Qinglian, changed the topic, and said, "Congratulations on breaking through two levels in quick succession."

Speaking of which, Yun Qiang’s smile blossomed, his eyes turning into crescents, unable to suppress the joy inside him. He was originally at Nascent Soul Late Stage, now he suddenly leaped to Divine Separation Early Stage, his strength jumping two major realms.

The journey of cultivation is dry and difficult, some people practice arduously for ten years, twenty years, and may not even break through one level, a leap through two levels is a matter of ecstatic joy for any Qi Refiner.

Bai Yichen also heard Yun Qinglian mention she broke through two major realms, and smiled to congratulate her, then said, "This counts as the sweetness after bitterness, blessings in disguise."

Only Yun Qinglian herself knew, it wasn’t any sweetness after bitterness or blessings in disguise. All of this was because of Qin Yi, without him she wouldn’t have gotten the Heavenly Thunder Fruit, nor the beast core of the Iron Armor Fiery Centipede, naturally, she wouldn’t have achieved such a dreamlike double jump in cultivation.

Of course, Qin Yi kept silent. She naturally wouldn’t foolishly bring up the Heavenly Thunder Fruit, a treasure of heaven and earth.

"Gurgle gurgle..."

At that moment, an untimely sound was heard.

Everyone looked at Qin Yi, because the sound came from his stomach.

Qin Yi was a bit embarrassed, patting his stomach and said, "Didn’t I feed you two days ago?"

Everyone was startled, and couldn’t help but smile.

Bai Yichen laughed, "I can’t help with other things, but I can help soothe Brother Qin’s stomach."

As he spoke, Bai Yichen came to an ancient tree, hand as blade, slashing a sharp glint through and past several roots of the ancient tree.

"Boom!"

The ancient tree, thick enough for three people to encircle, crashed down.

Bai Yichen then sliced the fallen part into several pieces and arranged them around the tree stump. Thus, a set of table and chairs was complete.

Then, Bai Yichen waved his hand, light flickered, revealing a perfectly sealed oil paper parcel atop the tree stump, and a bottle of wine.

Bai Yichen opened the oil paper parcel, inside was roasted chicken, grilled rabbit and some dried meats.

During the previous action, Qin Yi already noticed Bai Yichen’s Storage Ring on his finger.

The aroma wafted into Qin Yi’s nose, stirring his hungry stomach.

Bai Yichen looked at Qin Yi, "Young Master Qin, in the wilderness, this is all there is, please pardon."

Qin Yi blinked his eyes, a look of craving, "This is already excellent."

"Young Master Qin, Eldest Princess, please." Bai Yichen bowed to make a gesture of invitation.

Qin Yi and Yun Qinglian approached to sit down.

Bai Yichen invited several elders nearby, "You also come join."

Everyone sat around the tree stump.

Qin Yi’s fingers twitched, "Can we start eating?"

"Young Master Qin, feel free." Bai Yichen smiled.

Qin Yi unceremoniously tore off a chicken leg and enjoyed it, speaking with his mouth full, "Delicious, Elder Bai sure understands life, I should’ve brought roast chicken instead. It would’ve spared me from eating wild fruits daily, nearly leading to my end."

Bai Yichen puzzled, wondering why eating wild fruit would nearly lead to disaster, curiously asked, "Did Young Master Qin eat some poisonous fruit?"

"Something like that!" Qin Yi didn’t want to bring up Heavenly Thunder Fruit, wealth stirs hearts, not to mention such a rare treasure in the world.

Bai Yichen didn’t ask further, he took out wine cups, and the perceptive elder quickly poured wine for everyone.

Raising the wine cup, Bai Yichen looked at Yun Qinglian, "First, this cup congratulates the Eldest Princess for dispelling ailments and two-level breakthrough in cultivation."

"Thank you!" Speaking of this matter, Yun Qinglian’s smile blossomed, unable to restrain the joy in her heart.

Everyone raised a cup and drank it in one go.

After the elder poured more wine, Bai Yichen raised his cup again, "This second cup, to thank Young Master Qin for his help, which allowed the Eldest Princess to recover. And it let me fortunately meet Young Master Qin, such joyous occasion deserves another big drink."

Yun Qinglian’s delicate face turned somewhat unpleasant, because Bai Yichen’s words somewhat overshadowed the host. Thanking Qin Yi was her matter, when did it become Bai Yichen’s place to thank for her, making it seem overly familiar. If not for the last sentence about being fortunate to meet Young Master Qin, she would absolutely not raise her cup.

Qin Yi raised his cup and clinked it with Bai Yichen, "Also very honored to meet Elder Bai. Honestly speaking, Qin has seen a bit of the world, but Elder Bai, a Qi Refiner at your age entering Mahayana Realm, is the first I’ve seen in the entire Yunyue Empire. Elder Bai is an honor to the Yunyue Empire."

Bai Yichen was elated beyond words, the more Qin Yi praised him, the happier he became. Because in this way, he was worthy of the noble and unparalleled beauty of the Eldest Princess. Of course, when you are praised you must remain grounded, Bai Yichen was still reasonable, quickly said, "Young Master Qin, you flatter me, my achievements are nothing compared to yours. If you keep praising me, I won’t be able to keep my face."

Qin Yi laughed and said, "I’m speaking the truth, this vast Yunyue Empire, at the same age, who else can compare to you? Do not be shy, after decades of arduous cultivation, to achieve wisdom in one day, bestowed with glory, why hide it."

Bai Yichen smiled so broadly that his eyes nearly closed, Qin Yi was truly exemplary. He himself was so exceptional, yet kept praising Bai Yichen in front of Yun Qinglian, it moved Bai Yichen deeply.

Yun Qinglian listened more and more with dissatisfaction, glanced at the two, breaking the mood and said, "Could both of you stop the mutual flattery?"
