Chapter 139: Chapter 139 Monster

Duan Yiyi sheathed her saber and stood, her delicate face a bit pale.

Her cultivation was on par with her opponent’s, but she managed to kill him: firstly, because he was terrified after seeing Qin Yi chop down all his men as easily as slicing vegetables.

Secondly, the Duan Family’s cultivation technique, Dominant Saber, was indeed domineering.

"My dear husband, you’re simply amazing. I only managed to kill one, while you killed them all. That Xue Li was a Foundation Establishment Early Stage expert! I’m so in awe of you...ugh..."

Qin Yi initially felt quite pleased with the little girl’s flattery, but his face darkened immediately when she started to retch.

Duan Yiyi awkwardly laughed and said, "My dear husband, I’m not retching because of you. It’s just too gross."

Qin Yi: "..."

"My dear husband, I don’t mean you’re disgusting. It’s my first time killing someone, and I feel really gross about it."

Qin Yi suddenly understood. So that’s it. He remembered feeling similarly gross the first time he killed Lan Tianji.

Killing was definitely not a pleasant experience.

But dying was even less pleasant.

Between the two, killing was still easier to accept.

Qin Yi smiled and said, "Don’t worry, you’ll get used to it after a while."

Duan Yiyi widened her small mouth, "You can get used to killing people?"

"Everything becomes a habit over time."

Qin Yi finished speaking and looked around, checking if there were any survivors.

Of course, Qin Yi wasn’t just looking for people; this was a large tomb, and there might be antiques.

"My dear husband, come and see!"

Qin Yi looked over and saw Duan Yiyi had somehow run over to the stone coffin and was curiously peering inside.

Qin Yi walked over, looked down, and saw that there was an opening below the stone coffin.

"What kind of breeze is this? It feels so good," Duan Yiyi squinted her gemstone-like eyes in pleasure as the warm wind blew from the opening.

Qin Yi sniffed, slightly startled, realizing the wind carried a strong Spiritual Energy.

"My dear husband, this seems like Spiritual Energy!" Duan Yiyi also realized it.

Qin Yi nodded slightly; the wind carried not only Spiritual Energy but also a bloody scent.

"My dear husband, let’s go down and take a look."

Qin Yi frowned slightly, worried there might be danger below, but the presence of Spiritual Energy in the breeze was indeed peculiar. He nodded slightly.

"My dear husband, I’ll go first."

Qin Yi quickly pulled her back, "Follow behind me."

Duan Yiyi said softly, "My dear husband, you’re so nice!"

Qin Yi got goosebumps all over.

The opening seemed to be embedded in the stone coffin, about the size of a well mouth, with a thick, black iron chain as thick as an arm stretching downwards from the coffin wall.

Qin Yi jumped in, grabbing the chain as he slowly descended.

Duan Yiyi disassembled her big saber, slung it on her back, and followed him down.

At first, they thought the cave was deep, but after descending less than ten meters, the view suddenly widened.

Qin Yi heard the sound of running water and looked down to find a small river below, seemingly an underground river.

Qin Yi followed the chain to the ground; the chain hung straight to the ground, and there were footprints on the ground, suggesting that people often came down here.

Duan Yiyi also jumped down.

"My dear husband, so there’s an underground river beneath Tiger Roar Mountain, but there’s nothing special about it."

However, Qin Yi was focused on the river. It was only about two meters wide, the flow not particularly fast, but the Spiritual Energy was emanating from the water.

More strangely, the entire river was white, with flecks of golden light mixed in.

Qin Yi bent down, reaching his hand into the water; those golden flecks weren’t gold but some unknown substance growing at the riverbed. Moreover, the white at the river bottom resembled some kind of fossil, very rigid.

Qin Yi examined the footprints on the ground, noting that they led downstream.

Qin Yi walked downstream, with Duan Yiyi following closely behind.

After walking for about ten minutes, Duan Yiyi became a bit impatient.

"My dear husband, let’s go back. There’s nothing interesting here."

"Shh..." Qin Yi listened carefully.

"The sound of running water stops ahead. It should be the end; let’s go take a look."

The two walked forward for a few hundred meters, and the view suddenly opened up into a large lake.

"Wow... The Spiritual Energy in this water is so dense. If we cultivated in seclusion here, it would definitely be twice as effective with half the effort. My dear husband, we should come here for Dual Cultivation when we have time in the future."

Qin Yi: "..."

Dual Cultivation?

Qin Yi’s mouth twitched a few times, then he looked at the lake before him.

The lake was several thousand square meters in size. Who would’ve thought such a large lake existed beneath Tiger Roar Mountain? The key was the dense Spiritual Energy in the water.

However, Qin Yi’s brow furrowed tightly; he smelled a strong scent of blood from the lake.

Thud!

Water splashed, with ripples spreading in layers.

Qin Yi was startled to find that it was Duan Yiyi who had picked up a stone and thrown it into the lake.

Qin Yi glared at her without amusement.

Duan Yiyi stuck out her little fragrant tongue and followed Qin Yi along the lake.

"I told you not to disturb my cultivation for no reason." Suddenly, a cold voice echoed.

Qin Yi and Duan Yiyi were both startled, looking sharply toward the center of the lake, as the voice came from there.

But there was no one at the center of the lake.

Duan Yiyi hugged Qin Yi’s arm, "My dear husband, there’s a ghost here."

Qin Yi smirked coldly; he never believed in ghosts, thinking if they existed, they only lived in people’s minds or were someone’s trick.

"Who are you? Show yourself." Qin Yi shouted sternly.

Glub glub!

Suddenly, giant bubbles appeared at the center of the lake, as if the water was boiling.

Crash!

Then, the water surface exploded, sending waves spreading outward.

In the next second, a huge head emerged from the water surface.

Not just Duan Yiyi, even Qin Yi was stunned, his whole body bristling.

Is this... a Dragon?

No, it’s a snake?

Or something else entirely?

This was a head the size of a square table, blood-red all over as if stained with blood, its surface covered in scales, and those eyes glowed green, chilling one’s heart at a glance.

"My dear husband, run! It’s a huge snake!" Duan Yiyi pulled Qin Yi along as she started to flee.

Such a massive monster, terrifying!

Crash!

The water’s surface exploded again, with a thud, as a column of stone slammed into the ground, making the earth tremble and causing stones to roll down from the top of the cave. The stone column blocked Qin Yi’s path.

Upon closer inspection, it wasn’t a stone column but a tail, blood-red all over, densely covered in scales, part of the grotesque snake’s head.

It was that monster’s tail.

Duan Yiyi was so frightened that she jumped into Qin Yi’s arms.

"My dear husband, we’re going to die. We’re going to be eaten by this snake... boohoo..."

"I’ve never been in love, never turned from a girl into a woman, never kissed you, never had your children, never watched our kids marry..."

Qin Yi was speechless, completely baffled by her rambling.

The monster slowly opened its mouth, revealing two rows of interlocking fangs, each fang resembling a reversed dagger. Its scarlet tongue was as thick as an arm, flickering in and out without rest.
