Chapter 22

Men and Women Who Aren't Casual!

Zhang Li's face showed pain.

He looked down at the sword that had pierced his chest. He never imagined that Qin Yi would suddenly attack him like that.

next moment.

Qin Yi pulled out the blood-stained sword.

Zhang Li clutched his bleeding chest wound and collapsed to the ground.

Qin Yi looked at Zhang Li at his feet and said, "I'm a man who clearly distinguishes between gratitude and resentment. You attacked me once just now, so I'm returning the favor as a lesson to you."

"Be a better person from now on."

"Stop courting death."

"Otherwise, next time my sword will pierce your head!"

Princess Feng Linglong of the Great Wind Dynasty watched this scene with a complex expression, then coldly shouted, "Why aren't you leaving?"

Immediately, Qin Hanshuang and the others, supporting Liang Baichi and the others from Tian Shu Palace, as well as Zhang Li from the Discipline Hall, left looking disheveled.

Qin Yi sheathed his sword, turned around, faced Feng Linglong, and cupped his hands, saying, "Thank you for your righteous help, Senior Sister Feng. I will repay this kindness in the future!"

Feng Linglong smiled and asked, "Junior Brother Qin, how long until then?"

Qin Yi asked, "Senior Sister Feng, do you perhaps want me to repay you now? But my strength is still too low, and I'm afraid there's nothing I can do to help you, Senior Sister Feng?"

At this point, Qin Yi suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. He said, "Senior Sister Feng... I can't promise you my body. I'm not a casual man!"

Feng Linglong: ? ? ?

She deliberately put on a stern face and said, "I'm not a promiscuous woman!"

Qin Yi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then I'm relieved."

Feng Linglong was speechless again.

She thought Qin Yi was joking.

Judging from Qin Yi's expression, he didn't seem to be joking...

"Junior Brother Qin, you acted impulsively. Once you step onto the life-or-death arena... one of us will die; otherwise, the matter cannot end..."

"Liang Baichi is at the third level of the low-grade Silver Core stage, while Qin Hanshuang is at the fourth level of the mid-grade Silver Core stage."

"You're only at the Condensation Realm right now; the gap in cultivation levels is too big."

Feng Linglong said with a solemn expression.

Qin Yi said, "It's nothing, they're just two pieces of trash, I'll kill them."

Feng Linglong was speechless again.

"Junior Brother Qin, you only have three days left before you face the Life and Death Arena. Here is a bottle of Spirit Essence Liquid; I hope it will be of some help to you." Feng Linglong took out a jade bottle and handed it to Qin Yi.

Qin Yi accepted it without hesitation.

He had seen the introduction of Spirit Marrow Liquid in the Tianxing Martial Academy's newcomer handbook. It was a resource that only those above the five-star disciple level could purchase, and a bottle of Spirit Marrow Liquid was worth five thousand star points.

Qin Yi had already guessed it. Feng Linglong first helped him out of a predicament, and then gave him gifts so generously. If she wasn't after his body, then she was trying to win him over on behalf of the Great Feng Dynasty.

The Qin family has the Great Xia Dynasty backing them up.

Although Qin Yi is currently at Tianxing Martial Academy and has Mu Wan as his backer, it's still not enough.

Just like before, Mu Wan, as the master of Tianxuan Palace, couldn't always be by his side to protect him from the wind and rain. Qin Yi needed more connections.

It's not shameful to rely on connections or background.

Having someone willing to help you is itself a reflection of your own value.

"I will go to the Battle Arena in three days to watch the battle and cheer you on. I won't bother you any longer, Junior Brother Qin. Farewell," Feng Linglong said.

Qin Yi cupped his hands in greeting: "Three days from now, I guarantee Senior Sister Feng will witness a spectacular and crushing victory!"

Feng Linglong said, "I'm looking forward to it. Let's wait and see."

Feng Linglong took Wang Chong away.

On the road.

Feng Linglong said, "Your loss to him is not unjust. Not only is he stronger than you, but he is also bolder and possesses the heart of a fearless strongman!"

Wang Chong: "Princess, I don't understand, why don't you have a proper talk with him about the Great Wind Dynasty's investment in him?"

Feng Linglong said, "He's in a bad situation right now. My speaking to him on behalf of the Great Feng Dynasty might seem like offering help in his time of need, but doesn't it also seem like I'm taking advantage of his misfortune?"

"Moreover, I feel that if I want to win over Qin Yi, I can't rely on my words; I have to see what I do."

"He is a man of strong likes and dislikes, and he is passionate and decisive. If you can establish a close relationship with him, you won't even need to ask for his help; he will take the initiative to lend a hand."

…………

"Brother Qin... I'm sorry, I've dragged you into this." Yun Meng'er lowered her head, feeling extremely guilty and remorseful.

Qin Yi said, "Don't say such things. There's no such thing as being implicated or not. Besides, Liang Baichi is just a knife. Even without Liang Baichi, there would be Zhu Baichi, Zhou Baichi, Huang Baichi, and the Qin family. They would find all sorts of ways to deal with me."

He escorted Yun Meng'er back to her residence and said, "Meng'er, I'll head back now."

"Brother Qin..." Yun Meng'er grabbed Qin Yi's arm.

"What's wrong?" Qin Yi asked.

Yun Meng'er: "I...can I stay at your place for a couple of days?"

"I'm scared!"

"When I'm alone here, I think of Liang Baichi's hideous face..."

Qin Yi nodded and said, "Okay, then you stay at my place, and I'll stay at yours."

Yun Meng'er: "...Then I'll stay here too. I'll stay wherever Brother Qin stays."

Qin Yi was speechless.

Qin Yi said, "Alright, then we can stay at my place together."

A moment later, Qin Yi gave his sleeping room to Yun Meng'er, and he himself went into a small cultivation room attached to the residence.

"Tsk, kid, don't you really want to have a deeper conversation with her first? Are you just going to leave her alone like this? She's emotionally vulnerable right now, you should take advantage of that and win her over completely!"

"The last time, you only entered her body."

"Next, we need to enter her heart. From then on, this matter will be settled!"

Dingye was teasing Qin Yi.

Qin Yi: "Brother Ding, why are you always thinking about this kind of thing?"

"You must have been a very powerful person before. With your mindset, how did you become so strong?"

"A man shouldn't just think about those low-class things; he should have ambition!"

"I need to cultivate quickly and become stronger. The life-or-death battle in three days is just a small storm, but countless much bigger storms will sweep over me in the future!"

"I don't want to sacrifice my cultivation for a mere shiver!"

After saying that, Qin Yi took out the Spirit Marrow Liquid given to him by Feng Linglong, drank a third of it in one gulp, then circulated the Origin Demon Art, visualized the demon statue, absorbed the Earthly Fiend Qi, and began to cultivate.

Inside the cauldron, a stunningly beautiful woman in a white dress, exuding a cold and aloof aura, was furious. Her ample bosom heaved as she gritted her teeth and said, "Outrageous! Absolutely outrageous! This brat has grown too big for his britches and dares to lecture me?"

Yun Meng'er lay alone on Qin Yi's bed, recalling all the little things Qin Yi had done for her. A happy smile slowly appeared on her swollen face.

"Brother Qin is a gentleman, loyal and righteous, handsome, and has a pleasant voice. Even the bed he slept in exudes masculine charm..."

Several hours passed.

Qin Yi's aura suddenly surged.

breakthrough!

The eighth level of Ning Gang Realm!

Qin Yi was about to take another big gulp of the Spirit Marrow Liquid when, at that moment, Master Ding snorted coldly, "Mu Wan is here."

Qin Yi instantly dispelled the demonic image he had visualized in his mind, ending his absorption of the Earthly Fiend Qi.

Then there was a knock on the door of the cultivation room, and Mu Wan's voice came in: "It's me."

Qin Yi opened the door to the cultivation room, and Mu Wan walked in, saying, "Why do you seem a little flustered?"

As he spoke, his gaze swept to the corner of the cultivation room, and he said, "There's no paper here either."

"Besides, you don't need it. I found that little girl Yun Meng'er is lying in your room."

Qin Yi: "...Palace Master, don't joke with me. I'm just purely cultivating."

The smile on Mu Wan's face was replaced by a solemn expression. She said, "I know everything. You should understand the rules of the Life and Death Arena, but as long as you haven't stepped onto the Life and Death Arena, then you're fine."

"To prevent anyone from saying you're afraid to fight, I'll arrange something else for you. You can just not go in three days if something comes up."

"No need!" Qin Yi said solemnly, "A man's word is his bond. Palace Master, I have to go in three days, and I have to win spectacularly!"

Mu Wan's face showed an expression of appreciation, and she said, "Good, as expected of your senior brother's son, your personality is exactly the same as your senior brother's. If you're not convinced, then fight."

"The Palace Master supports you!"

"This is a two-hundred-year-old bottle of 'earth's core milk,' you may take it and use it!"

"Fight to the death on the arena, show your mettle!"

After saying that, he handed a jade bottle to Qin Yi.

"Thank you, Palace Master!" Qin Yi took the initiative to throw himself into Mu Wan's arms and gave her a hug.

Mu Wan: "..."

A moment later, Mu Wan left Qin Yi's cultivation room.

She glanced at Qin Yi's room and said, "You brat, your parents are missing, so you're more likely to develop an attachment to a woman like me... but that girl inside is more suitable for you."

"It's all my fault. I didn't think things through the previous times, which led you to have those kinds of thoughts about me."

"Why."

Mu Wan sighed, then vanished without a trace in a flash.

Inside the cultivation room, in Qin Yi's mind.

Ding Ye's voice rang out: "Ha, men."

Qin Yi: "My gratitude came from the bottom of my heart. You wouldn't understand, Master Ding."

After saying that, he continued his cultivation!

With the two-hundred-year-old Earth Core Milk given by Mu Wan, plus the remaining Spirit Marrow Liquid, Qin Yi's cultivation level improved at an extremely rapid pace!
