Chapter 185: Chapter 185: The Melting Iceberg

The endless Blood Ghost Vines, the countless Blood Monkeys.

There were too many, so many that it was unimaginable...

"Qin Yi, save me..."

Qin Yi watched helplessly as Xia Yanbing was pierced through by the Blood Ghost Vine and dragged toward the Heavenly Pit.

"Qin Yi, save me..."

Qin Yi wanted to save Xia Yanbing, but it was as if he were stuck in a muddy quagmire, unable to move. This was the most helpless he had felt since he began his cultivation.

He was powerless, could only watch as Xia Yanbing was dragged into the Heavenly Pit and vanished.

Sorrow and anger, an endless killing intent made Qin Yi madly roar toward the sky.

"Xiaobing..."

In the spacious, bright room, on the large bed near the floor-to-ceiling window, Qin Yi awoke from a nightmare, sitting up abruptly, drenched in sweat.

"It hurts..."

A weak yet familiar voice made Qin Yi freeze completely.

Staring at the familiar face in front of him, Qin Yi opened his mouth, his eyes fixed.

Xiaobing?

For a moment, Qin Yi couldn’t tell if this was a dream or reality?

Wasn’t Xiaobing dead? Lin Hongzhuang had told him herself.

Was this another nightmare?

"Qin Yi, you’re hurting me."

Qin Yi trembled slightly, looking down, his hand was gripping Xia Yanbing’s arm—real, warm, the sensation so clear.

Qin Yi stared blankly at Xia Yanbing.

Xia Yanbing’s arm ached from Qin Yi’s grip, her willow-like eyebrows furrowed slightly, "Qin Yi, I’m not dead! Linlin was lying to you."

Qin Yi gazed dumbfounded at Xia Yanbing, his eyes gradually showing joy. He could feel Xia Yanbing’s pulse flowing, her heart beating. She was truly alive.

"You’re real, this isn’t a dream?"

Xia Yanbing shook her head softly, "Not a dream, I’m really not dead, Linlin was deceiving you."

Qin Yi looked around, everything was so real, the sunlight dazzling—this wasn’t a dream.

But then, Qin Yi’s gaze turned cold, suddenly grabbing Xia Yanbing’s chin forcefully.

Xia Yanbing’s eyes welled up with tears from the pain, but she smiled sweetly, laughter mingling with tears.

"Stupid woman, do you know what you’re doing?"

Qin Yi’s eyes were as cold as frost. When he heard of Xia Yanbing’s death, he had almost lost his sanity.

Afraid of harming the innocent, he used the Destructive Thunder Flames, a terrifying Great Killing Skill, consuming his entire cultivation, draining his power until he fainted.

Yet, this woman casually told him it was all Lin Hongzhuang’s lies.

Lin Hongzhuang deceived him, this woman couldn’t possibly be unaware, so they must have conspired together to deceive him.

Xia Yanbing laughed through her tears, "If I didn’t deceive you, how would I know if you still have me in your heart? What do you say, husband?"

Qin Yi trembled slightly; despite being married for so long, it was the first time he heard Xia Yanbing call him husband.

These two words were like hot water poured onto ice, not only melting it but also quickening Qin Yi’s heartbeat.

"You damn..."

Qin Yi swore, then kissed her fiercely.

Qin Yi’s kiss was punishing, very rough!

This time, Xia Yanbing did not resist, letting Qin Yi take her, even responding clumsily.

Clang!

The door opened, Lin Hongzhuang walked in, holding a tray with several delicate dishes.

Upon seeing the scene before her, Lin Hongzhuang dropped the tray, dishes and chopsticks shattered on the ground into pieces, a chaotic mess.

Qin Yi was startled, releasing Xia Yanbing.

But seeing Xia Yanbing’s slightly furrowed brows, he felt a tiny bit guilty. In his anger earlier, he had bitten Xia Yanbing’s lip until it bled. Hmph... serves you right!

Then, Qin Yi glanced at Lin Hongzhuang, eyes piercing like lightning.

Lin Hongzhuang was startled, "Sorry, I didn’t mean to disturb you. Please carry on..."

With that, she hastily ran outside.

Trying to run?

Qin Yi sneered, almost losing his sanity, yet she’s trying to slip away so easily?

But when he tried to lift his hand, he found himself stalling; his body was void of any power.

Qin Yi darkly withdrew his hand, lucky for you to run fast, or you’d break a leg.

Xia Yanbing, however, continued smiling foolishly at Qin Yi.

Qin Yi was dumbfounded; had this woman lost her mind?

"Husband?"

Xia Yanbing’s smile blossomed like a flower, calling sweetly!

Qin Yi’s heart raced, but he kept his face cold, "Who is your husband? Didn’t you try to escape to get away from me?"

Xia Yanbing coyly said, "But didn’t I fail to escape your grasp?"

Qin Yi was stunned, was this woman actually playing coy with him? Wasn’t this the ice-cold beauty Xia Yanbing? He seriously doubted if the Xia Yanbing before him was real, how could ice melt?

"I came to find you intending to bring you back for the divorce, so you would be completely free."

Xia Yanbing moved closer, squeezing into Qin Yi’s arms, holding his waist, cheek pressed against Qin Yi’s chest, coyly saying, "I don’t want a divorce."

Damn...

This Xia Yanbing had to be fake.

Qin Yi despisingly tried to push her away.

"Husband, don’t push me away! Not divorcing, okay?"

That soft and tender voice nearly melted Qin Yi’s bones.

Qin Yi glared at the top of Xia Yanbing’s head, "Tell me, who are you? Where’s the real Xia Yanbing?"

Xia Yanbing snuggled more into Qin Yi’s arms, playfully saying, "Husband, what are you saying? I’m your wife, your Xiaobing."

Qin Yi felt as if he’d been trampled by ten thousand alpacas!

"Xia Yanbing, stop with that act, you asked for the divorce."

"I was wrong, let me apologize, okay? Husband, I’m sorry, I was wrong, please forgive my capriciousness... Husband, I was wrong... Husband, sorry..."

"Enough!" Qin Yi gestured a holding motion.

Xia Yanbing looked up, her bright and beautiful eyes shining, then kissed Qin Yi on the lips, "Thank you, husband, for forgiving me, you’re the best!"

Qin Yi: "..."

It took Qin Yi a moment to regain his composure.

"Who forgave you? When did I say I forgave you?"

Xia Yanbing clung to Qin Yi’s waist, cat-like, rubbing her face against his chest, "Husband, you’re a peerless hero, an immortal, you can’t be so petty."

"I know I was capricious, I understand now, I shouldn’t blame you, you had your reasons not to tell me your identity, I should understand."

"Husband, through this, I realized how much you love me, I’m clearly in your heart."

"You used to say you were a simp, then shall I be the simp from now on? I promise to love you wholeheartedly, let’s not divorce, okay?"

Qin Yi felt completely overwhelmed, every organ inside him was trembling, jubilant.

But he had to maintain composure, who knew if this woman would switch to being a cold ice sculpture the next second.

"Who loves you? Don’t be so self-indulgent, I’ve saved many people, saving you was just incidental, you’re not that important."

Xia Yanbing clung tightly to Qin Yi’s waist, playfully saying, "I don’t care, I’m important, the most important in your heart. I’m not divorcing, I’m clinging to you for this life."
