Live-in Son-in-law

Chapter 1546: Chapter 1546: Farewell

As soon as the topic of returning to the Feather Clan came up, Yun Mengyao’s mood instantly became gloomy.

In the past, she longed every day to return to the Feather Clan.

But now, the closer she got to the clan, the more uneasy she felt inside.

She couldn’t understand what was happening to her?

Yun Mengyao suddenly fell silent, and the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.

Yin Qianqian walked over and said:

"Everyone should rest early, we have a long journey ahead tomorrow."

That night, everyone was lost in their own thoughts, neither cultivating nor communicating much.

...

...

The next morning.

It was time to part ways.

The Medusa Queen gathered her people together.

"Young Master Qin’s great kindness, the Medusa Clan will never forget it. If there’s ever a need for us, we won’t hesitate to help."

Qin Yi smiled and slightly nodded, "The journey to the Northern Central State is long, so be cautious along the way."

"The Blood Flood Dragon is a good choice; you may not like it, but please don’t harm it."

Speaking of the Blood Flood Dragon, the Medusa Queen felt slightly bashful.

She never expected that the Blood Flood Dragon would leave Qin Yi for her and accompany her to the Northern Central State.

What surprised her even more was that Qin Yi granted the Blood Flood Dragon its freedom.

"Master, I’m sorry! I won’t be able to stay by your side in the future, you must take care of yourself."

Qin Yi chuckled and said, "Don’t worry about me. The burden on your shoulders will be heavier now, you’ll have to bear it yourself."

"Rest assured, Master, I will work hard on my cultivation."

"Also, as long as the Master needs me, no matter where in the world, I will come."

Qin Yi smiled, "Alright, having you say that is enough. Give my regards to Xiaoyanzi when you see them."

"Alright then, it’s about time to part ways."

"Master, I can’t bear to leave you."

"Get lost."

"Master, take care on your journey. I’m leaving now."

Qin Yi slightly nodded.

The Medusa Clan members bowed deeply to Qin Yi before turning to leave.

Qin Yi watched them depart until they disappeared from sight.

"Qin Yi, let’s be on our way too."

"The world is vast, and if fate allows, we’ll meet again."

Yun Mengyao noticed Qin Yi’s reluctance and spoke softly.

Qin Yi slightly nodded, collected his emotions, and said with a smile:

"Let’s go, let’s meet the Shadow Clan."

Qin Yi pulled out the man from the Shadow Clan from a dilapidated room.

"Did you sleep well last night?"

Qin Yi looked at the Shadow Clan man with a smile.

But to the man, that smile was more terrifying than a demon.

Many of his bones were broken, and his cultivation was sealed, preventing him from healing. He had suffered through an excruciatingly painful night.

"Take me to your Shadow Clan."

The Shadow Clan man was first stunned, then a slight joy appeared in his expression.

Qin Yi’s lips curled up slightly, assuming the man thought he would be rescued once they reached the Shadow Clan.

"Alright, I’ll take you there."

The Shadow Clan man replied straightforwardly.

Qin Yi dragged the Shadow Clan man along; Qin Yi’s group headed south while the Medusa Clan headed north.

After traveling for more than ten days, they finally emerged from the Endless Desert.

Along the way, they encountered all kinds of demons and beasts, fighting dozens of battles.

In this Endless Desert, there were hundreds of species of demon beasts living there.

No wonder the map marked it in red, with red signifying danger.

If Qin Yi and the others weren’t strong cultivators, they might not have made it out, as the sheer number of demon beasts could exhaust any strong opponent to death.

"Finally, some greenery."

Qin Yi gazed at the distant mountains and rivers, the vegetation, and suddenly felt better.

"Blood Flood Dragon, go hunt some game for us, let’s have a good meal today and reward our stomachs."

After saying that, Qin Yi received no response from the Blood Flood Dragon.

He was slightly taken aback and then smiled bitterly, having forgotten that the Blood Flood Dragon was no longer by his side.

Habits are truly a frightening thing.

Seeing this, Yun Mengyao said, "You all wait for me up ahead, I’ll go catch some game. In this mountainous and dense forest, finding something to eat shouldn’t be hard."

"Forget it, I’ll go instead."

Qin Yi handed the Shadow Clan man over to Lang Ya and swiftly entered the dense forest.

Yun Mengyao and the others found a shady spot to wait, and shortly after, they saw Qin Yi returning with a plump rabbit and a bunch of wild fruits.

Qin Yi skillfully handled the rabbit, while Yun Mengyao started a fire.

Soon, a delicious barbecue was ready.

In the end, the roast rabbit was devoured completely.

This was the best meal they had eaten in a month and a half.

After filling their bellies, the group rested for a while.

Qin Yi approached the Shadow Clan man who was nearly half-dead; the water they carried was limited, so along the way, this guy could only survive on the Life Tree’s sap, and eating was even rarer, being lucky to have two wild fruits a day.

In Qin Yi’s words, it was merciful enough for a captive to even keep his life intact.

"You’re not lying to me, are you? It’s been over ten days, where exactly is your Shadow Clan?"

The Shadow Clan man shivered with fear, terrified of Qin Yi, and hurriedly said:

"I wouldn’t dare, two more days, and we’ll reach the Shadow Clan."

In truth, Qin Yi understood in his heart that this man was even more eager to return to the Shadow Clan than him.

Because returning to the Shadow Clan meant he would be saved.

Unfortunately, his hopes were high, but he didn’t realize that his fate was now in Qin Yi’s hands.

After resting for a while, they continued on their way.

...

...

Two days later, Qin Yi and his group arrived in front of a dense forest.

"Beyond this forest lies our Shadow Clan."

The Shadow Clan man said.

Qin Yi said nothing, gazing at the dense forest before him.

This mountainous terrain was filled with many dense forests, so one was nothing unusual.

But this particular forest was shrouded in a thick green mist.

The ground was covered in thick layers of dry twigs and leaves.

Yun Mengyao took a step forward but was pulled back by Qin Yi.

"Don’t be impulsive, be more careful."

Qin Yi said as he kicked a fist-sized rock.

The rock flew out, landing in the forest, but slowly sank.

Yun Mengyao’s face changed slightly, "Is there a swamp under those dry branches and leaves?"

Qin Yi slightly nodded, "The mist in the forest is toxic, and the ground is a swamp."

Yun Mengyao flew into a rage and gave the Shadow Clan man a hard kick, "Are you trying to kill us? Be honest, have you been lying to us all along?"

"I, I haven’t, beyond this forest is our Shadow Clan’s territory."

"Bullshit, who would live in a place like this? Are all your Shadow Clan people crazy?"

Qin Yi suddenly said, "The environment here has created this dangerous place, but it’s also a natural barrier. He probably isn’t lying."

Yun Mengyao snorted coldly, "Then shall we fly across?"

Qin Yi slightly nodded.

The group rose into the air, walking along the treetops.

Yun Mengyao scoffed, "It seems this forest can only block Qi Refiners below the Nascent Soul Realm."
