Chapter 233: Chapter 233: Joking and Teasing

Qin Yi looked at Lan Jiaojiao dry-heaving, his handsome face immediately wrinkled.

"This is bear paw, a rare delicacy. Is it really that disgusting?"

Lan Jiaojiao waved her hand backward, "It’s not your fault, I just killed someone and feel a bit nauseous!"

Qin Yi was slightly stunned, he could understand this feeling.

"No worries, you’ll get used to killing after a while!"

Lan Jiaojiao turned around and looked at him angrily, does he think she’s a murderous demoness?

Although she felt really disgusted, Lan Jiaojiao was truly hungry, so she held her nausea in check and took a bite of the bear paw from Qin Yi’s hand.

But soon she frowned, "No salt."

Qin Yi was speechless, "In this wilderness, where am I supposed to find you salt? You’re lucky to have something to eat, I’m eating it too without any complaints, and it’s your fault."

Lan Jiaojiao chuckled twice, took a bite of the bear paw, "Did you time your arrival just right? Appearing when I was about to die. Were you hoping I’d be moved to tears and offer myself to you?"

Qin Yi: "..."

"You’re overthinking it, I’m not interested in an old auntie."

Lan Jiaojiao’s eyebrows shot up as she glared at Qin Yi fiercely, "I’m young and beautiful, just two years older than you, how does that make me an old auntie?"

Women are very sensitive to the word ’old’.

Qin Yi slowly chewed on the bear paw, "Are you misunderstanding the words young and beautiful? You currently look worse than an old auntie."

Lan Jiaojiao looked down and saw her white clothes already filthy, her face immediately full of disdain.

"Where’s my bag?"

Qin Yi pointed behind her.

Jiaojiao gobbled the bear paw in a few bites, then walked over to pick up her bag, took out clean clothes, and her gaze dimmed when she saw the vermilion Ancient Box.

This Ancient Box contained the Tai Sui Armor, and it was this that incited the greed of Li Zhuo and others, costing her grandfather’s life.

"Is this the Tai Sui Armor?" Qin Yi asked, as Lan Jiaojiao had mentioned it when she killed Zhu Changshou earlier.

Lan Jiaojiao slightly nodded, casually opening the Ancient Box, revealing a palm-sized, umbrella-shaped, tortoise-shell-like white armor piece.

Qin Yi’s gaze flickered momentarily as he thought and said, "This Tai Sui Armor isn’t fully matured yet."

"Hmm?" Lan Jiaojiao looked up at him.

Qin Yi said, "The growth environment for Tai Sui Armor is quite harsh, and those rare enough to produce armor are one in a million. Over a hundred years, Tai Sui Armor turns dark red and counts as medium-grade Spiritual Medicine. But yours is white, less than a hundred years old, only low-grade Spiritual Medicine."

Lan Jiaojiao listened, gave a bitter smile, "I knew it would end like this. Even if it were a thousand-year Tai Sui Armor, I wouldn’t come."

"The deceased are gone, the living must look forward. Don’t think of dying, or my trip would be wasted."

Lan Jiaojiao directly closed the Ancient Box, stuffed it in her bag, then casually tossed it to Qin Yi, "Don’t worry, my grandfather exchanged his life for mine. If I die, his sacrifice would be in vain."

"Keep it safe for me, and don’t get greedy for the treasure. Also, I’m going to take a bath, so don’t get any ideas."

"You’re overestimating your appeal."

Qin Yi gritted his teeth and tossed the backpack aside. This Tai Sui Armor was brought back by Lan Wangxu with his life, he wouldn’t be so greedy.

"True, you’re newlywed, all your energy’s spent on Xia Yanbing. Even if you had thoughts about me, it’d be in vain."

Qin Yi: "..."

"Lan Jiaojiao?"

"Hmm?"

"I shouldn’t have come to save you..."

Lan Jiaojiao laughed, "But you still came, didn’t you?"

"I regret it now!"

"Too late!"

"Not too late, I can leave now, you won’t make it out of this Thousand-mile Mountain."

Lan Jiaojiao sneered, pointed to the dead Zhu Changshou and others, "They have satellite maps, I could find my way out with my eyes closed."

Qin Yi: "..."

Lan Jiaojiao suddenly said, "Honestly, you’ve been married to Xia Yanbing for a few years, why hasn’t her belly shown any signs? Are you not up to it? I know some remedies, why don’t we..."

Qin Yi’s face darkened, waved his hand, and a purple light swept Lan Jiaojiao away.

Splash!

Water splashed everywhere as Lan Jiaojiao crashed into the distant river.

Qin Yi turned his back to Lan Jiaojiao and mumbled, "Damn you, just because you’re a woman doesn’t mean I won’t deal with you."

Though Qin Yi controlled his strength to ensure Lan Jiaojiao wouldn’t get hurt, it still left her sore and grimacing in pain.

Lan Jiaojiao climbed out of the water, looked at Qin Yi’s back, waved her fists a few times, then stripped off her blood-soaked clothes and performed a beauty bathing scene in this desolate mountain wilderness.

Qin Yi casually picked up a branch and doodled on the ground, suddenly sighing slightly... How could he not see the sadness in Lan Jiaojiao’s eyes.

Lan Jiaojiao seemed strong, but after all, she was a woman, and Lan Wangxu’s death dealt her a huge blow. It was clear she kept creating topics to suppress her inner sorrow, and the only thing Qin Yi could do was joke around with her.

After twenty-some minutes, Qin Yi began to grow impatient, thinking women were troublesome, taking so long just to bathe.

But just then, there was a sudden exclamation from behind.

Qin Yi quickly turned to look, only to see Lan Jiaojiao already washed and changed into clean clothes, walking this way.

"I knew you were a lecher, trying to sneak a peek at me bathing?"

Qin Yi: "..."

"What’s with the sudden shout? I thought something happened to you."

Lan Jiaojiao walked over, disdaining, "I was just testing you to see if you’d turn around to sneak a peek, and sure enough, you’re not a gentleman."

Qin Yi rolled his eyes, "Lan Jiaojiao, don’t you know to appreciate kindness? I was concerned about you, okay?"

"If you were concerned, shouldn’t you ask first before turning around? You turned around without asking, isn’t that peeking?"

Qin Yi sulkily said, "By the time I ask, something might have already happened to you."

"Explaining is just covering up, and covering up implies premeditation. I know my own appeal; it’s normal for you to have thoughts, but it’s wrong to hide them."

Qin Yi was speechless, "I really regret meeting you."

"Too late, even regretting now won’t help!"

Qin Yi smiled wryly, remembering when he first met Lan Jiaojiao, he said this woman would bring him endless trouble, and now it seemed true.

"Can’t be bothered to argue with you, get ready so we can leave."

Lan Jiaojiao nodded, slung her backpack over her shoulder, and casually said, "The satellite map is on them, go check."

Qin Yi glared, "Why me?"

Lan Jiaojiao spread her hands, "Do you want a beauty to rummage through corpses?"

"You didn’t mind when you were killing them?"

"I did mind, didn’t you see me almost puke just now?"

Qin Yi: "..."
