Seeking the Tao in the Mortal World

Chapter 81: Stupid Male

It was difficult to communicate with people who couldn’t speak. If one was impatient, he might really lose his temper. However, Qin Yi found that he never felt depressed when communicating with Cheng Cheng.

Maybe it was because all her expressions spoke volumes.

Just like when she met him this time, her appearance had already expressed ‘I’m happy to see you again’. Besides that, they had nothing to talk about. When one of them couldn’t speak, it would be natural that she was smiling silently most of the time. It was much more comfortable to break the ice.

From beginning to end, he felt relaxed and happy.

If Qin Yi wasn’t preoccupied with various matters, he would sit here as long as he wanted. Look at the beauty and listen to the flowing water. He had not experienced such a natural peace for a long time. He was always busy with various responsibilities and battles, making him out of breath.

I’m getting further and further away from the young boy born in Immortal Track Village.

I guess I can only find it out after experiencing the mortal world.

Cheng Cheng looked at his thoughtful look and blinked curiously. Her face said, “Are you troubled?”

Qin Yi smiled, but he was talking about another matter, “Although this White Kingdom still has some civilization and systems, and the beastkins are not unreasonable, the essential differences between beastkin and human beings are too great. Human beings will have a hard time here. I felt so depressed that I wanted to hit someone several times. It must be difficult for a weak woman like Miss Cheng to independently support the industry here, right?”

Cheng Cheng’s eyes looked a little sad, but she just shook her head in the end.

At this time, the little fox who guaranteed for him in the medicine shop handed over a package of medicine, “Guest, this is your medicine. I didn’t steal a single coin from you.”

Her eyes were rolling as she spoke, hinting that she might really steal something.

Qin Yi laughed dumbly and took the package without thinking about it. The little fox added, “Of course it’s difficult for Miss. There is no male leader in the family… If it weren’t for some old connections, she would have nothing left.”

Cheng Cheng waved her hand, indicating her to stop saying.

The little fox said, “But Miss, you have to marry a good husband. You can’t drag this anymore.”

Cheng Cheng finally dipped her hand in wine and simply wrote on the table, “They are all people who seek to gain both my body and my wealth. They are not sincere.”

The little fox sighed.

Qin Yi watched in silence, understanding Cheng Cheng’s situation.

Most of the humans in this Beastkin City were either slaves or meat. Only a small number of them lived under the shelter of some great beastkins. He had only been in the city for a short time, and he deeply felt the discrimination of the beastkins against humans. Cheng Cheng was a human and she couldn’t speak too. How could a weak woman support the family business and not have a difficult life?

It was hard to expect any beastkin to be “sincere” to her.

If they just wanted her body and wealth, that was fine. The most fearful thing was that no one would care if she was eaten by her husband.

Thinking of this possibility, Qin Yi finally couldn’t hold it in anymore, “Actually, Miss Cheng does not have to stay in Beastkin City. There is a way to go up to the rift. Miss can definitely try to leave and live in the human kingdom.”

Cheng Cheng still shook her head and wrote, “The hard work of our ancestors cannot be abandoned.”

Qin Yi sighed. He knew that everyone had their own ambitions, so he just said, “My sister Ye Ling, which is the little snake you saw, will live in your kingdom for a long time. If Miss has any difficulties, you can ask her for help. In addition… Your ruler is a queen. Although she is a bit unpredictable, as a female master of the family, she will have empathy…”

Cheng Cheng looked a little strange and nodded without saying anything.

Qin Yi secretly thought that his friendship with Cheng Cheng was shallow, and he already did his best to help “a human in a foreign land”, so he stood up and said, “Miss Cheng, I have important matters… Although this place is nice, I can’t stay for a long time. Thank you for your hospitality.”

Cheng Cheng stood up with her head bowed. She was silent for a while before writing, “When will you leave?”

“Not sure, but I won’t stay long.”

Cheng Cheng raised her finger, hesitated again for a long time, and finally wrote, “Can you not leave?”

“Huh?” Qin Yi’s eyes widened in surprise.

Cheng Cheng gritted her teeth and simply wrote faster, “I’m still thankful for mister’s protection early. If mister intends to stay long, I’m willing to entrust my life to you.”

This development… Qin Yi had a headache.

In fact, he could understand Cheng Cheng’s mentality. Whether she liked him or not, the feeling of being protected indeed gave her the backbone to rely on. She would naturally entrust herself to him in difficult situations.

He felt secretly happy about this, and Cheng Cheng’s stunning appearance also made him fascinated, not to mention that she seemed to be a rich woman… But no matter what, he wouldn’t agree to this.

“Sorry, someone is waiting for me.” Qin Yi said lowly, “I came to the Rift Valley just for her.”

Cheng Cheng lowered her head, and her expression was no longer visible.

The little fox said angrily, “Hey, you human, do you know how much property Miss has and how many connections she has in it?”

Qin Yi shook his head slightly, “Even if there is the entire White Kingdom, I have to go back. Sorry.”

The little fox was about to say something, but Cheng Cheng waved her hand to stop her. She raised her head with a bright smile, walked to Qin Yi and made a gesture to accompany him out.

Qin Yi, who rejected the girl’s confession for the first time, was still a little sorry after all. He silently walked to the door and took out a few talismans, “These are the Lightning Spark Talisman and the Divine Speed ​​Talisman so that Miss can protect yourself. Take care.”

Seeing Qin Yi striding away, Cheng Cheng leaned against the door and looked at his back, not knowing what she was thinking. It wasn’t until Qin Yi’s back disappeared around the corner that she lowered her head to look at the several talismans in her hand. She suddenly laughed while looking at them, and she kept them in her arms with great care.

The little fox said timidly behind him, “Miss, please don’t tell me you really fall in love with him… His cultivation…”

Cheng Cheng actually spoke, “I’m just curious… Since he doesn’t care about beauty or wealth, then what is the purpose of him working tirelessly to help a weak woman he has never met before and risking his life to stand in front of her? For what?”

The little fox tilted her head and thought for a while before coming to a conclusion, “Maybe this is called stupid.”

“Maybe.” Cheng Cheng laughed. She looked in the direction in which Qin Yi disappeared and whispered to herself, “A stupid male who thinks he is indomitable.”

The little fox nodded vigorously.

“But why do I think he is cute?” Cheng Cheng leaned against the door and held her chin.

The little fox was shocked, “Ah?”

Cheng Cheng stared at her, “What did you steal when you took the medicines for him just now?”

The little fox smiled and backed away, “Nothing, just a few fruits…”

Cheng Cheng grabbed her by the neck and said, “Those are mine!”

The little fox was beaten until she lay on the ground dying. Cheng Cheng ate a fruit and let out a sigh of satisfaction.

Beastkin wind suddenly surged.

Eagle Li appeared in front of her and said, “I have verified that the shaman was indeed a slave in the Prime Minister Jackal Mansion.”

Cheng Cheng showed a meaningful smile, “In other words, the solution to the curse Qin Yi is looking for may also be in Jackal Mansion?”

Eagle Li was stunned. It was important for him to report this matter, but it had nothing to do with Qin Yi. He could only answer, “Actually, there really may not be a solution to that kind of Death Sync Curse. We are just helping out of kindness…”

Cheng Cheng’s smile became more and more charming, “Wouldn’t that be better? Let him stay for a few more days.”

Eagle Li sighed, “My King, you shouldn’t be focusing your thoughts on this right now. In the face of a powerful enemy, it is ridiculous to spend this time and energy to deliberately turn into a human clone and act as a mute. You even set up a Brocade Embroidery Workshop… “

“There is no powerful enemy.” Cheng Cheng said charmingly, “Inform the Prime Minister that the zodiac tokens have been gathered. I will go to Kunpeng Purple Mansion soon. Please let him deal with the White Kingdom’s political affairs.”

Eagle Li seemed to understand the meaning behind this order. He bowed and accepted the order, “Yes.”
