Chapter 1679: Uneasy Mind
Yun Mengyao looked utterly bewildered. What’s up with this guy? First meeting, and he talks so rudely.
Qin Yi couldn’t help but burst into laughter, nodding repeatedly, "Great minds think alike."
"Damn you, Qin Yi, you’re the one who’s not right in the head." Yun Mengyao said angrily.
These two definitely have something going on, Yun Mengyao thought.
At this moment, Yin Qianqian also finished her bath and came out.
The Red Lotus Netherworld Envoy glanced over, his eyes lighting up, and said, "I must say, your friend has quite the looks."
"Who might this be?"
Yin Qianqian walked over, looked at the Red Lotus Netherworld Envoy, and asked politely.
Qin Yi laughed and said, "His name is Little Red."
Yin Qianqian was slightly stunned. What a cliché name, but she still gave a graceful bow and smiled, "Hello, Young Master Little Red, my name is Yin Qianqian."
Young Master?
Yun Mengyao was dumbfounded.
"Sister Yin, did you just say he’s a man?"
Yin Qianqian was surprised, "Yeah! What’s wrong, did I see it wrong?"
"He looks so pretty, and you say he’s a man?"
The Red Lotus Netherworld Envoy’s mouth twitched slightly and looked at Qin Yi, "I advise you to leave early."
"You still owe me a drink, and you’re so eager to get rid of me. Are you trying to dodge the debt?"
The Red Lotus Netherworld Envoy rolled his eyes, "Stay here if you want to die then, farewell!"
After speaking, he walked away gracefully.
Yun Mengyao looked at Qin Yi, "Is he really a man or a woman?"
"A man."
Yun Mengyao was utterly confused, "A man who’s even more beautiful than a woman, where’s the justice in that?"
No wonder he said she wasn’t right in the head earlier; she had mistaken his gender. But, being so pretty, it’s normal to make a mistake, right?
Qin Yi joked, "You’ve been to my hometown, where it’s normal for men to be prettier than women, isn’t it?"
"Tch, in your hometown, that’s all due to makeup and packaging. Plus, being pretty and being a sissy are two different things, don’t confuse them."
Yin Qianqian asked curiously, "What did he mean by what he just said?"
"He’s a Netherworld Envoy, knows my identity, and advises me to leave early."
Yin Qianqian was shocked, "He actually knows your identity."
Qin Yi nodded slightly, "This person is very smart and knows how to protect himself. On this journey, among the Netherworld Envoys, only he has survived until now."
"Since he said that, something must have happened. Qin Yi, I also feel staying here is not a long-term plan, we must leave quickly."
Qin Yi nodded slightly, "It’s time to leave! Both your and Little Wolf’s identities have been exposed. Your identities are the best materials for puppet-making for the Netherworld Clan. The Twelve Kings of Netherworld Clan have ordered that no harm should come to you both."
"No wonder we’ve been unconscious for two months, and those people didn’t harm us," Yun Mengyao muttered.
Qin Yi’s mouth twitched into a smile, "Little Wolf is of the Dragon Clan, and Miss Silver is from the Nine-tailed Silver Fox Clan, the best materials for puppet-making. As for you... you’re just a bonus."
"A bonus?" Yun Mengyao instantly flared up, "I’m a beauty of unparalleled elegance, how am I a bonus?"
"They’re not selecting concubines, what good is being pretty? Besides, I didn’t say this, it was the Netherworld Clan who said it."
Yun Mengyao’s eyebrows furrowed in anger, "These idiots have no eyes. Can’t recognize gold when they see it."
Qin Yi rolled his eyes internally, thinking: Only you have the nerve to think you’re so important.
Qin Yi looked at Yin Qianqian and said, "Let’s discuss it tonight and leave tomorrow."
That night, the four of them gathered in Qin Yi’s room to discuss the next steps.
Qin Yi opened the map, and after looking for a while, he felt dizzy. The Nether Sea was enormous.
"Tomorrow morning, we’ll set out heading north towards the Netherworld Clan."
Yin Qianqian looked at Qin Yi, "Qin Yi, your ultimate destination is the Netherworld Clan, right? Why must you go there?"
Qin Yi’s mouth curved upward, his face showing deep bitterness, "I need to save someone, someone very important to me. Only the Netherworld Clan has the means to save her. So, I must go to the Netherworld Clan."
"You’ve taken so many risks just to save someone."
Qin Yi nodded slightly.
"I can tell, this person is very important to you."
Qin Yi’s voice was low, "I owe her too much."
"Is it a woman?"
Qin Yi nodded.
Then, he changed the subject, pointing at the map, "All the way north, at our speed, it might take two to three months to reach the Netherworld Clan."
"But before going to the Netherworld Clan, we need to visit a place."
Yin Qianqian curiously asked, "What place?"
"Dragon Island."
Everyone looked at Lang Ya.
Lang Ya’s eyes showed a moment of confusion as he looked at Qin Yi, "Thank you!"
He came to the Nether Sea to return to Dragon Island.
Back then, he was chased away, escaping the Nether Sea, and didn’t know how Dragon Island was now.
Qin Yi wanted to go to the Netherworld Clan, and Lang Ya originally intended to bid farewell. Unexpectedly, Qin Yi offered to go to Dragon Island.
Yun Mengyao curiously asked, "Where is Dragon Island?"
Qin Yi laughed and said, "Little Wolf definitely knows."
Lang Ya nodded silently.
Qin Yi patted his shoulder, "Don’t worry! We’re in this together through thick and thin; there’s nothing we can’t overcome."
"You’re willing to help me?" Lang Ya asked.
Qin Yi couldn’t help but laugh, "Nonsense, we’re friends. Besides, you still owe me a wish. Don’t try to sneak away."
"Then can you help me find some dried fish?"
Qin Yi was stunned for three seconds before laughing and scolding, "Get lost!"
But after saying that, and despite the scolding, Qin Yi still had someone prepare some dried fish and brought it over.
Qin Yi said, "Everyone rest early, conserve energy. At dawn tomorrow, we leave quietly."
The three of them nodded in agreement.
...
...
Late at night, Qin Yi suddenly opened his eyes while cultivating.
He didn’t know why, but he felt restless, as if something was about to happen.
He always trusted his instincts.
But he couldn’t figure out what was wrong for a while.
Suddenly, a slight noise from outside made Qin Yi’s eyes sharpen.
In the next second, he was already in the courtyard.
The silver moon hung in the sky, stars twinkling everywhere.
Under the moonlight, a red figure stood quietly in the courtyard.
In another room, Lang Ya also opened his eyes.
But he quickly returned to a state of cultivation, as he sensed Qin Yi’s presence.
In the courtyard, Qin Yi looked at the Red Lotus Netherworld Envoy and smiled, "What are you doing here in the middle of the night, scaring people like a ghost?"
"You need to leave."
"What do you mean?" Qin Yi raised an eyebrow.
"The God Slaying Netherworld King has arrived."
Qin Yi’s eyes narrowed slightly. He didn’t know who the God Slaying Netherworld King was, but it didn’t matter now. He frowned and said, "How could he arrive so quickly?"
"Transmission Array, this is the territory of the God Slaying Netherworld King, so it’s not surprising he came so quickly. I will try to stall him; you must leave quickly, or you will die."
After saying this, the Red Lotus Netherworld Envoy transformed into a red light and swiftly departed.
Qin Yi speculated that the Red Lotus Netherworld Envoy had just received the news and detoured to inform him while on the way to meet this God Slaying Netherworld King.
