Chapter 278: Chapter 278: Water and Fire Don’t Mix

Everyone looked at Liu Yiren with sympathy, not expecting that this somewhat spoiled girl would have such a tragic encounter.

Duan Yiyi looked worriedly at Liu Yiren, "Little brat, I didn’t think you were so pitiful. I won’t bully you anymore."

"Who’s pitiful? I don’t need anyone’s pity. Many people said I wouldn’t live long, but didn’t I live until eighteen?" Liu Yiren raised her small head proudly.

Duan Yiyi grinned, "Okay, you’re amazing. I admit it."

Liu Yiren felt even prouder.

Liu Chengqing looked at Qin Yi, "Yiren’s illness can’t be away from me for too long. This time, I brought her to Yinfeng City for another reason, to find you."

"Find me?" Qin Yi was slightly taken aback, a bit puzzled.

Liu Chengqing nodded seriously, "I’ve long heard that your skills are incredible and unpredictable. I was thinking maybe you have a way to cure Yiren’s illness?"

Qin Yi showed a look of realization, no wonder Liu Chengqing agreed without hesitation when he offered to treat Liu Yiren’s illness earlier.

Liu Chengqing looked at Liu Yiren, smiling dotingly, "Yiren, go take a walk outside, or rest for a while."

Liu Yiren pouted, "Isn’t it just about whether my illness can be cured? It doesn’t matter, I’m used to disappointment."

"There is a cure!" Qin Yi said.

Liu Chengqing suddenly looked at Qin Yi with eyes full of enthusiasm.

Liu Yiren was also full of joy, though she had been disappointed many times, she hadn’t given up hope. Every time she fell ill, the torture was unbearable, and she didn’t want to endure that pain anymore.

"Qin Yi, if you can cure Yiren, this old man’s life is yours," Liu Chengqing said excitedly, almost kneeling.

Qin Yi raised his hand, an invisible force holding him up.

"Let me finish. To cure Miss Liu’s illness is not something that can be done in a short time; it might take a long time."

Liu Yiren laughed, "I don’t mind. As long as my illness can be cured, I’ll wait as long as it takes, I can even marry you."

Qin Yi: "..."

"Little brat, what are you saying? I haven’t married my little husband yet. Get in line. I won’t argue with you this time, say it again and... hmmm..." Duan Yiyi waved her little fist.

Everyone was amused.

Qin Yi pondered for a moment and said, "Moreover, to cure Miss Liu’s illness, she might have to stay with me for a while."

Qin Yi didn’t reveal Liu Yiren’s Elf Body; this physique is too rare, enough to attract any Qi Refiner’s covetousness. An inexhaustible Spiritual Energy Treasure Vault is a deadly temptation for any cultivator.

If anyone knew Liu Yiren was an Elf Body, it might bring her endless danger.

The reason Liu Yiren kept falling ill is that her current Cultivation is too low, and the excess Spiritual Energy in her body seeps out when it can’t be refined. As her Cultivation improves, this symptom will naturally disappear.

Keeping her by his side now was actually a selfish act of Qin Yi. Such an inexhaustible natural supply of Spiritual Energy could make his Cultivation soar.

Most importantly, to refine the marrow and alter the bloodlines and physiques of Xia Yanbing and the others, besides Spiritual Medicine, a large amount of Spiritual Energy is needed—an issue that Liu Yiren’s appearance solved perfectly.

Of course, as compensation, Liu Yiren wouldn’t have to suffer the torment of falling ill as long as she stayed by his side.

"Alright, I’ll follow you. If you cure my illness, I’ll give you whatever you want."

Qin Yi smiled, "Don’t worry, following me, you won’t suffer from the pain anymore. I can quickly alleviate it every time you fall ill."

"Really? That’s great!" Liu Yiren was full of excitement. Every time she fell ill, the pain was unbearable, and she never wanted to endure such extreme pain again.

Qin Yi looked at Liu Chengqing.

Liu Chengqing bowed deeply to Qin Yi, "I don’t know how to thank you. In the future, if you need anything from the Liu Family, we will never refuse. Lightning will strike me if I break this oath."

Qin Yi waved his hand, "You’re exaggerating."

Liu Chengqing was earnest, "We’ve visited countless famous doctors over the years, but none could help. Qin Yi, I really don’t know how to thank you enough."

Qin Yi felt a little awkward as he indeed had selfish motives for treating Liu Yiren.

"By the way, when her illness relapses, don’t ever use your half-baked Fire Attribute Techniques to treat her again."

Liu Chengqing looked puzzled at Qin Yi.

"Don’t you know that fire and water are incompatible? Your Cultivation Technique is not perfect, and unless your Cultivation is sky-high to suppress the cold qi in her body, every treatment will only worsen the next bout of pain."

"In other words, the power generated by your Fire Attribute Technique stays in Yiren’s body, forming a water-fire conflict when it recurs, making her all the more painful."

Liu Chengqing was shocked; he realized that abandoning his original Cultivation Technique for the Fire Attribute Technique only harmed Liu Yiren.

"Third Grandpa, no wonder my illness gets worse each time. It’s all your fault! I will tell Big Grandpa and Second Grandpa."

Liu Chengqing wore a wry smile, "Third Grandpa didn’t do it on purpose!"

In this generation of the Liu Family, the males were abundant, but there was only one girl, Liu Yiren, the apple of the family’s eye. If they knew he worsened her illness, how could he dare to return?

Although Big and Second Brothers agreed when he switched to the Fire Attribute Technique, knowing it worsened Yiren’s condition would certainly turn them against him.

"Qin Yi, thank you! Had we met you earlier, we wouldn’t have taken so many wrong paths."

Qin Yi chuckled internally; if you met me earlier, I’d have been a cripple, unable to help at all.

Duan Xinyuan laughed, "Liu Lao, Miss Liu, congratulations indeed."

Liu Chengqing was all smiles, "This trip to Yinfeng City was truly worthwhile. And meeting Qin Yi was the utmost honor."

Liu Yiren looked at Qin Yi, "What do I have to do if I follow you?"

Qin Yi thought for a moment, "Serve tea, do laundry, cook, and clean. What can you do?"

Liu Yiren asked in confusion, "Don’t the servants do those? Why do I have to do them?"

Qin Yi: "..."

Such a pampered young lady, just like the Emperor who questioned why not eat minced meat during a famine.

"We’re too poor to afford servants."

Liu Yiren patted her chest, "That’s simple. I’ll pay!"

"Miss Liu is generous."

"Of course, I’m not short on money. I’ll hire ten servants for you, including someone to feed you."

Qin Yi: "..."

"Eh? That’s not right. This Armani suit you’re wearing is the new summer release, worth tens of thousands. The dress Wan’er is wearing is the latest Chanel, needing hundreds of thousands. And you dare say you’re poor?"

Qin Yi was stunned. His clothes were worth that much? He really didn’t know, as Xia Yanbing had bought them for him, and he only wore them.

Qin Wan’er was startled; the clothes she was wearing were also gifted by Xia Yanbing, and she wasn’t aware of the price either.
