Chapter 186: Chapter 186: The Heavenly Pit Incident

Qin Yi felt like all his bones had melted.

The ice goddess Xia Yanbing had melted, her coquettishness could turn steel into soft mush. Who could resist that?

Qin Yi felt himself succumbing.

"Darling, look, you’ve bitten my lip until it’s bleeding, and you’ve pinched my arm purple. It really hurts. Can you forgive me, please?"

Qin Yi maintained a stern face, saying nothing.

"Darling... darling... darling..."

Qin Yi was cracking, his defenses were collapsing, about to be overrun.

"Darling, you’re right. Who would want to be a doormat if it wasn’t for love? Linlin had taught me to act coquettish, but I couldn’t learn it no matter how hard I tried."

"Back then, I thought I was too dumb! But now I understand, in front of the one you love, acting coquettish doesn’t need to be learned at all."

"Darling, from now on, I will use all my strength to love you. Can you forgive me, please?"

Listening to these sweet words, Qin Yi’s defenses completely collapsed.

"I’m hungry!"

Xia Yanbing raised her head, looking at Qin Yi with delight, "Darling, you’ve forgiven me, haven’t you?"

Qin Yi kept a serious face and nodded.

"Then give me a smile?"

Qin Yi bared his teeth, it wasn’t a smile, just a grimace.

Xia Yanbing smiled sweetly and gave Qin Yi a soft peck on the lips, saying:

"I knew you were the best! What do you want to eat? I’ll go make it for you."

Qin Yi struck a dignified pose, "Anything, do as you see fit."

"Then wait obediently, I’ll go prepare it for you now!"

Watching Xia Yanbing leave, Qin Yi let out a heavy sigh of relief. Damn... he truly was pathetic, Xia Yanbing’s coquettishness made him completely surrender.

Outside, Xia Yanbing also let out a heavy breath, patting her flushed cheeks. Was that really me just now? I actually acted coquettishly, unbelievable.

"Miss Xia."

Xia Yanbing startled, looked up to see Zhou Tianwei and Zhou Wenyun approaching.

"Family Head Zhou, Young Master Zhou!"

"Is Mr. Qin awake?"

Xia Yanbing nodded slightly, smiling softly: "He just woke up!"

"Then let’s go in and see him."

Xia Yanbing nodded.

Zhou Wenyun walked to the door, then retreated, looking ambiguously at Xia Yanbing’s injured lip, "Really fierce!"

Xia Yanbing’s pretty face immediately turned crimson!

"This... this was me accidentally biting myself."

Zhou Wenyun gave a mischievous look, "What is Miss Xia talking about? I meant Mr. Qin’s fierce performance on the square."

Xia Yanbing knew Zhou Wenyun was doing it on purpose, so she changed the subject, "I’m going to prepare some food for Qin Yi."

With that, she fled!

Xia Yanbing had just reached the kitchen door when Lin Hongzhuang sneaked over like a thief.

"Bingbing, are you okay?"

Xia Yanbing shook her head.

"Qin Yi probably wants to kill me now, right?"

Xia Yanbing laughed, "Don’t worry! It’s all fine now."

Lin Hongzhuang suddenly exclaimed, "Bingbing, your lips?"

"Uh... this, this was an accident, I bit myself."

Lin Hongzhuang’s pretty face was teasing, "Don’t think I don’t know Qin Yi did it, why cover for him? You’re even stuttering when you talk, don’t tell me your tongue got bitten too?"

"Linlin..."

Xia Yanbing’s face turned as red as a ripe apple.

Lin Hongzhuang clicked her tongue, saying, "This bastard is really ruthless."

Xia Yanbing said, "He had every right to be angry, but now that’s all behind us!"

Lin Hongzhuang teasingly said, "Did you settle him or did he settle you?"

"Linlin, stop talking nonsense! Settling and not settling, how unpleasant."

Lin Hongzhuang rolled her eyes, "I know you guys are truly in love. Don’t think I’m stupid, you ran away just to test if Qin Yi still loves you."

Xia Yanbing hurriedly covered Lin Hongzhuang’s mouth, "Don’t let Qin Yi hear that, he can be really petty!"

"I’m no fool, Family Head Zhou said Qin Yi was furious and exhausted all his strength; even an idiot could tell it was because of you."

Xia Yanbing smiled sweetly, "Come help me, I want to make some food for Qin Yi."

"You?" Lin Hongzhuang had a face full of doubt, "Are you sure you’re not planning to poison him?"

"What are you talking about? How could I bear to?"

"Shameless!"

Xia Yanbing smiled gently, "You’ll understand when you have someone you like!"

"Tch, what man could catch my eye. Alright, take your time then?"

"You’re not going to help me?"

"I’ll help, but I have to find medicine to heal your lips first, or how will you two kiss later?"

...

Qin Yi saw the grandfather and grandson pair of Zhou Tianwei walk in, and only then did he realize he was at the Zhou Family’s place.

Zhou Tianwei bowed toward Qin Yi, then straightened up, asking with care, "Mr. Qin, are you alright?"

"I’m fine! Thank you for your concern."

Zhou Tianwei laughed, "It’s what we should do, if it wasn’t for you, who knows how many lives would be lost."

"By the way, what’s the situation now?"

Zhou Tianwei’s expression turned a bit strange.

"Could it be Mr. Qin has forgotten the earth-shattering thing you did?"

Qin Yi was slightly stunned.

Zhou Tianwei bowed again, "On behalf of the millions of people in Huahai City, Zhou thanks Mr. Qin for your life-saving grace!"

"Under Mr. Qin’s heavenly thunder, those strange vines retreated, those beasts too, and now the danger has been lifted."

Qin Yi nodded slightly, then said, "Don’t be complacent, those Blood Ghost Vines and Blood Monkeys could make a comeback."

"Rest assured, Mr. Qin, we have already sealed the area and are finding ways to fill up the heavenly pit."

Then, Zhou Tianwei asked, "Mr. Qin said those things are called Blood Ghost Vines and Blood Monkeys, do you know those monsters?"

Qin Yi nodded, "That’s right! But I only know their names, nothing much beyond that."

"It looks like you have your work cut out for you, such a big issue is apt to cause panic."

Zhou Tianwei gave a bitter smile, "Actually, this kind of thing isn’t happening for the first time, we have a rather complete emergency system."

Qin Yi was surprised, "Not for the first time?"

Zhou Tianwei explained, "Actually, starting from two months ago, including this incident in Huahai City, there have been two heavenly pit events domestically. Abroad, it happened once."

"Two months ago, a heavenly pit appeared in Feiyun City, with reports of monster attacks on people. But the scale in Feiyun City was rather small, and it happened at night, so the number of casualties was low. However, to prevent panic, the authorities kept the news under wraps."

"Last month, something similar occurred in a Western country!"

"This event was the most serious, with nearly three hundred deaths, not counting the injured."

Qin Yi was a bit shocked, not expecting it to have happened three times.

"Haven’t you investigated the cause?"

Zhou Tianwei replied, "Of course, we investigated! But the heavenly pit is so deep that it’s bottomless, even the most sophisticated probing instruments can’t detect anything. So the investigation results weren’t ideal."

"A month ago, the authorities issued an order for guardians in all cities to enter second-level readiness. But this incident occurred too suddenly to be prevented."
