Chapter 365: Chapter 365 When in Rome, Do as the Romans Do!

Qin Yi smiled bitterly in his heart; it seemed he had indeed caused a great catastrophe, obtaining the Eye of Righteous and Evil only to open the gates of disaster.

Yin Chen and Yin Qingyi were right; primordial creatures currently did not know what fate awaited them after being sucked away by the Heavenly Defect; otherwise, they wouldn’t dare approach it recklessly.

But what if they discovered the other end of the Heavenly Defect was not dangerous, would they swarm here in droves?

Moreover, those two made a point— not all beings are kind. For instance, the Blood Ghost Vine, Blood Monkey, Earth Demon, and other demons, are inherently bloodthirsty.

If a large number of creatures poured onto Earth, it would result in a terrible catastrophe— humanity in danger, Earth in peril.

Qin Yi secretly resolved that since he caused this trouble, he would be the one to resolve it, even if it meant exhausting all his might.

In the end, you must pay your dues in life.

The Eye of Righteous and Evil had given him so much; with every advantage, there is a drawback.

There was another matter he had to find out from Yun Mengyao. According to Yin Chen, this woman seemed to know the other end of the Heavenly Defect wasn’t dangerous, and she came to Earth later.

If Yun Mengyao knows, how many others or beings might know?

Qin Yi suddenly felt overwhelmed.

"Old Man Qin, are you okay?" Lan Jiaojiao noticed Qin Yi’s ever-changing expression and thought he was worried about the Inheriting Heaven Pearl inside her.

"Don’t worry; the Inheriting Heaven Pearl has been inside me for a while now without causing any discomfort. It should be fine."

Qin Yi nodded slightly.

"By the way, what do you plan to do next?"

Lan Jiaojiao thought for a moment and said, "Cultivate, strive to improve cultivation!"

"Then let me offer you a feng shui treasure land for cultivation where you can concentrate on your cultivation." Qin Yi thought of Tiger Roar Mountain, where the spiritual energy was denser and more abundant than usual places.

However, Lan Jiaojiao declined.

"Old Man Qin, I want to wander around, consider it a journey! Qingyi said not to just focus solely on cultivation; combat is also a form of cultivation. I want to explore the world."

Qin Yi nodded; Yin Qingyi was right; the best cultivation is often by seeking breakthroughs in battle.

"But think it over; these two are yokai. As for you, I don’t know whether you’re currently a human or a yokai, or perhaps a human-yokai hybrid?"

Lan Jiaojiao glared at him, annoyed, "You’re the human-yokai hybrid."

Qin Yi was briefly stunned and then chuckled, "I didn’t mean that! Your current identities will be shunned by others. Even if you do not harm humans, humans will still fear you."

"Prejudice is a great mountain in people’s hearts, and yokai are not seen as good by many."

"Humans are kind but also very timid. When they are scared, they can do things that aren’t very nice. The three of you are likely to be rejected by most people now."

Lan Jiaojiao sneered, "Old Man Qin, since when did you speak so tactfully! Why not just say that humans are cowardly and selfish? Is there anything filthier than the human heart in this world?"

In this short journey of just over half a year, she had witnessed the complexities of human nature and had grown.

Qin Yi smiled wryly; no one could ever fully understand the human heart.

Yin Chen said, "Qin Yi, although our sibling’s cultivation is not as high as yours, it isn’t too poor either. With us protecting her, Jiaojiao will be fine."

"She now carries the origin inheritance of our Nine-tailed Silver Fox clan, and even if it costs us our lives, we will protect her thoroughly."

Qin Yi nodded slightly. He was friends with Lan Jiaojiao, but he had no right to make decisions for her. He couldn’t forcibly make her stay.

Though unseen, Qin Yi could sense the immense hatred hidden in Lan Jiaojiao’s heart, likely directed at the Blood Cloud Tower.

Qin Yi was silent for a moment, then instructed, "Since you’ve decided to go, I won’t say anymore. But remember, the matter of Jiaojiao bearing your clan’s origin inheritance should only be known by the few people in this room; it mustn’t spread outside. Otherwise, it will bring you endless danger."

Human nature is greedy; who knows what people might do if they find out Lan Jiaojiao received inverse fortune?

Yin Qingyi chuckled, "Rest assured, we aren’t foolish! It’s only because you’re Jiaojiao’s lover that we’re telling you."

Lover?

Qin Yi’s mouth twitched.

Lan Jiaojiao blushed and said exasperatedly, "Qingyi, stop talking nonsense! Do you even know what that word means?"

"Isn’t it just lover?" Yin Qingyi said.

Qin Yi said speechlessly, "Miss Qingyi, since you’ve come to this world, please adapt to the local customs and read a little more."

"Did I say it wrong? Isn’t ’lover’ the meaning of the term?" Yin Qingyi asked, confused.

Lan Jiaojiao smiled wryly, "Don’t use that word carelessly in the future; it’s not a good word."

"Oh!" Yin Qingyi nodded, "It seems I have to study more."

Qin Yi changed the subject and said, "Alright, it’s getting late! Everyone should get some rest."

Yin Qingyi’s silvery eyes twirled mischievously as she joked, "You humans have a saying, ’a brief separation is better than a new marriage,’ so we won’t disturb you two."

Qin Yi was speechless.

Lan Jiaojiao’s face flushed red, but before she could speak, Liu Yiren, who had been silent, suddenly jumped up and shouted, "No, you two can’t sleep together."

Huh?

Yin Qingyi looked at Liu Yiren playfully.

"Wow, this little sister is jealous. You three can be together. Or we four can be together, as Qin Yi is quite handsome, and it wouldn’t be a loss."

Qin Yi: "..."

Liu Yiren’s face reddened with anger as she glared at Yin Qingyi, "You sly fox, stop talking nonsense."

Yin Qingyi teased, "What? Does the little sister want to monopolize Qin Yi?"

"You’re being unreasonable. Jiaojiao and Qin Yi haven’t seen each other in so long, and they’re about to part again. What’s wrong with letting Jiaojiao have Qin Yi for a night?"

Liu Yiren’s face flushed, unsure if it was out of anger or embarrassment.

"Stop talking nonsense; I’m not Qin Yi’s woman."

"Then I don’t understand; if you’re not Qin Yi’s woman, what qualifies you to say no?"

Liu Yiren puffed her cheeks, "I’m going to watch over Qin Yi on behalf of the beautiful lady and Sister Yiyi. Even if we line up, Sister Yiyi should be first."

After saying that, she gazed at Qin Yi with a seemingly threatening glare, "If you dare to do bad things with her, I’ll tell the beautiful lady and Sister Yiyi when I return."

Qin Yi couldn’t help but smile wryly and beckoned to her.

Liu Yiren was puzzled and approached, only for Qin Yi to give her a solid flick on her smooth forehead.

"You little rascal, what are you talking about? Jiaojiao and I are friends."

Liu Yiren rubbed her forehead, which smarted from the flick, and said in a grievance, "But all couples start from friends!"

"You little brat, you know quite a lot." Qin Yi was speechless.

Lan Jiaojiao looked at Qin Yi, her lips curving into a slight smile; actually, this current way of getting along was quite nice. Qin Yi only had Xia Yanbing in his heart, and she wouldn’t undermine Qin Yi’s feelings. Love doesn’t necessarily mean possession. Seeing him happy is also a form of happiness.
