Live-in Son-in-law
Chapter 1401: Hua Nian
Qin Yi waited at his room door for a while, and the female tailor opened the door, saying it was ready.
Qin Yi walked in and saw that Little Leaf was indeed wearing the little dress he designed. The white dress paired with Little Leaf’s cuteness made her look just like a little elf. No, she was indeed an elf herself. Anyway, it looked very beautiful.
As for the wings issue, the female tailor’s craftsmanship was quite good. She cut two holes in the back of the dress, then made eyelets around them and connected them with silk ribbons, fashionable and convenient.
Qin Yi nodded with satisfaction, "Not bad. Little Leaf, do you think it looks good?"
"Yes, it looks good. Little Leaf likes it." Little Leaf happily admired her new dress in front of the bronze mirror.
Qin Yi gave the female tailor a dozen gold coins, asking her to take the other nine dresses back for alterations and deliver them tomorrow.
The female tailor was full of gratitude; a dozen gold coins were enough for her wages for two years.
Subsequently, Qin Yi greeted the attendant, asking him to tell the shopkeeper to come back tomorrow.
Qin Yi took Little Leaf back to Yunfeng Inn in South City to wait for news. Although Little Leaf didn’t know where she had lost her sister, Qin Yi figured that the place he found Little Leaf was closest to South City. If he were Little Leaf’s sister, he would definitely come to South City first to look for Little Leaf.
...
In South City, a secluded alleyway, a person dressed in black and wearing a straw hat hurried along.
However, judging by the height and figure, it was evidently a woman.
She looked absent-minded and didn’t notice a man and a woman following her.
The two trackers also had their faces covered with black veils so their appearances were indistinguishable, but judging by the figure and voice, it was a man and a woman.
"Do you think this bitch’s words are true or false? Did that little brat really get lost?" the tracking man said in a deep voice.
The woman’s voice was slightly sharp, "This bitch has been inquiring all the way; it seems that the little brat really got lost."
"Then what’s the use of following her now?"
"Of course we have to follow her. That little brat is a four-winged elf, something our clan hasn’t seen in hundreds of years. The clan leader and the elders have discussed countless times in secret; the plan is to wholeheartedly nurture this little brat. You should understand what this means."
The man said solemnly, "They’re planning to groom that little brat to be the next clan leader."
"Exactly. With the talent a four-winged elf possesses, you should understand how terrifying it is. Once she grows up, the plan the Great Elder has been cultivating for years could all fall through. The future of the Elf Clan must be in our hands."
The man sneered, "It’s just a clueless little brat, and you think she’s worth such attention? How long would it take for her to grow up? Besides, whether she can grow up is another matter; she might die halfway."
"What do you know? Those old codgers are not lacking in patience. If this little brat truly grows up, the Elf Clan will never have a chance to emerge," the woman said sternly.
The man playfully squeezed the woman’s behind, laughing wickedly, "Alright, we’ll do as you say. But now that the little brat is lost, what’s the use of following Hua Nian? We might as well find the brat first and eliminate her."
The man said this while looking at Hua Nian ahead, his eyes filled with lecherousness, laughing wickedly, "This girl is becoming more and more beautiful."
The woman looked at Hua Nian rushing ahead, her eyes flashing with malice and murder.
"First, expose her identity. An elf exposed in public will undoubtedly be attacked by everyone. If the elder sister is in trouble, the little elf will definitely come running at the news. By then, we can get rid of the sisters together."
The man looked at her, "You’re really vicious."
"What? Do you despise me for being vicious now? You didn’t say so when you climbed into my bed."
The man laughed lasciviously, "Alright, we’ll do as you say. It’s just a pity for such a beauty, wasted on humans."
As he spoke, a flash of light appeared in the man’s hand, and an arrow appeared.
Up ahead, the woman was oblivious to the impending danger; she was Little Leaf’s sister, Hua Nian.
Hua Nian, preoccupied with her thoughts, walked forward. Seeing several people approaching from the opposite direction, she instinctively moved aside.
However, at that moment, the man behind her lifted his hand and flung the arrow, and although there was no bow, the arrow shot out like a beam and knocked off the black hat from Hua Nian’s head.
A few passing humans instinctively looked over, first stunned, then their eyes lit up.
With her hat shot off, Hua Nian revealed her true appearance. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
Hua Nian was very beautiful, her skin fair and delicate like milk, blue eyes like gemstones, a charming nose, small mouth, and pointed ears, beautiful and cute.
"It’s an elf," among the people, a bald man with a tiger-head knife and a face full of muscles said excitedly.
"Indeed, who would’ve thought heaven would be so kind to us. We just came from a losing streak and now we’ve run into an elf."
"What are you waiting for? Let’s capture her and sell her to the Slave Market; with her age and looks, she’ll fetch a great price, enough to revel for quite a while."
The group looked at Hua Nian, their eyes filled with greed, as if seeing a pile of gold coins.
Hua Nian was suddenly shocked when her hat was shot off. Once she reacted, she found herself surrounded by several passing humans front and back.
Although this was Hua Nian’s first time visiting the human world, she was older than Little Leaf and knew what fate awaited an elf in human hands? Her charming face turned pale with fright, and green light spread from her hand as a green bow and arrow appeared.
She raised the bow and arrow, looking at the bald man approaching, trembling all over nervously, "Don’t, don’t come closer..."
It’s well known that members of the Elf Clan excel at archery, seeing Hua Nian take out a bow and arrow, people hesitated to approach. However, seeing Hua Nian’s trembling hands, they sneered coldly.
The bald man laughed wickedly, "Little sister, your bow and arrows are shaking too much to scare anyone."
Indeed, Hua Nian had never shot at humans before; her nervous hands and feet were ice-cold, and she couldn’t hold her bow and arrow steadily.
The bald man saw this, "Little sister, I advise you to surrender. Your brothers’ luxurious lives depend on you for the rest of our lives."
With that, he rushed directly at Hua Nian.
Hua Nian jumped, completely on reflex, instinctively shooting an arrow.
The arrow flew like a beam towards the bald man.
The bald man swung his ghost head blade at the arrow, and with a bang, he easily smashed the arrow.
The bald man laughed heartily, "Turns out she’s a rookie, made me worry for nothing. Don’t hold back, fellows; her cultivation is pathetically weak."
Indeed, Hua Nian’s cultivation wasn’t high; after all, she was young, currently only at the Golden Core stage.
