"Ugh..."

Qin Yi was just about to speak when Yun Mengyao beside him suddenly made a retching sound.

"What’s wrong?" Qin Yi asked instinctively.

Yun Mengyao covered her mouth, shook her head, and said muffledly, "It’s nothing, just suddenly felt a bit nauseous."

Qin Yi’s mouth twitched slightly. He immediately understood that Yun Mengyao was disgusted by Zi Lan’s words. Not to mention Yun Mengyao, even he felt disgusted. He knew all too well what kind of person that woman was. After all, he had heard her conversations with Ming Jun clearly.

Aside from her connection with Ming Jun, Zi Lan also had ties to the Great Elder.

But now he didn’t understand Zi Lan’s intentions, so he could only go along with it.

Zi Lan glanced at Yun Mengyao, her eyes flickering with a barely noticeable chill, then smiled charmingly, "Could it be that this Fairy Yun is Young Master Qin’s wife?"

Qin Yi: "..."

"We’re just friends."

"Oh, I thought Fairy Yun was Young Master Qin’s wife, after all, you two look very compatible together."

Yun Mengyao scoffed, "What, are your eyes working? How could he be worthy of me?"

Zi Lan was slightly taken aback, but then she laughed joyfully, "Young Master Qin is a remarkable hero, unmatched in beauty. I didn’t expect Miss Yun wouldn’t like him. I really feel sorry for Young Master Qin."

Yun Mengyao’s face was full of disdain, this was too disgusting.

Qin Yi shook his head helplessly. Yun Mengyao, this brainless woman, why did you respond to her? Aren’t you just giving this green tea a chance to perform?

Being from Earth, he was all too familiar with green teas, pretending to be weak, pretending to care, pretending to feel it’s not worth it for you, then advancing by retreating.

"It seems green tea knows no world boundaries." Yun Mengyao wasn’t dumb, and realized it immediately, saying coldly.

Of course, Zi Lan didn’t understand the meaning of the term "green tea."

The group moved forward, with Zi Lan showing great interest in Qin Yi, caring for him along the way.

But when they came to a small path, Zi Lan led them back.

However, Qin Yi’s expression suddenly changed. He heard a faint breathing sound, like the weak sound of someone on the brink of death.

"Miss Zi Lan, what’s ahead?"

Zi Lan looked troubled.

"If it’s inconvenient to say, then let’s just say I didn’t ask."

Zi Lan hesitated for a moment, then looked at Qin Yi affectionately, "If it were anyone else, Zi Lan wouldn’t say it even if it meant dying. But since Young Master Qin is asking, I’ll tell."

"Ahead is the Elf Holy Spring and the real Elf Divine Tree. It’s the Holy Land of my Elf Clan, you absolutely mustn’t go."

Yun Mengyao’s face was full of disdain, this Zi Lan was too much of a green tea, her words continuously enticing Qin Yi. Thankfully, she knew that Qin Yi only had Xia Yanbing in his heart, otherwise another man would definitely fall for it. Who could resist a dazzling beauty’s tender concern and flirtatious glances?

Qin Yi didn’t show any emotion, but inside he was full of curiosity. The weak voice he heard earlier was clearly made by a human.

"Previously Jin Wen gave me a bottle of Holy Water as a thank you for saving Hua Nian and Xiao Yezi, could that be water from the Elf Holy Spring?"

Zi Lan nodded, "That’s right, the Elf Holy Spring is very important to our Elf Clan. The water from the Holy Spring contains a large amount of Spiritual Power, not only does the Elf Divine Tree need it, our cultivation also relies on it."

"You just mentioned the shocking Elf Divine Tree? When we came in, we saw a Sacred Tree. What’s the relationship between the two?"

Zi Lan gestured for Qin Yi to lean in as she smiled.

"This is a secret of our Elf Clan, I can only tell Young Master Qin."

Qin Yi shrugged helplessly and leaned over.

Zi Lan whispered in Qin Yi’s ear, "Young Master Qin has been deceived, the Sacred Tree outside is fake. There’s only one Elf Divine Tree in the Elf Clan, and it’s beside the Elf Holy Spring."

Qin Yi suddenly shivered and quickly straightened up because after Zi Lan spoke, she actually stuck out her tongue and lightly licked his earlobe.

Of course, the action seemed discreet, but everyone saw it.

Yun Mengyao looked indignant, "Hey, I say, you woman..."

"Ahem..." Qin Yi quickly coughed to interrupt Yun Mengyao, "We’ve seen enough, let’s head back."

Zi Lan escorted everyone back but whispered something in Qin Yi’s ear as she left.

Yun Mengyao glared at Qin Yi and then turned to Hua Nian, "Are all Elf Clan women this bold?"

Hua Nian gently shook her head, "Sister Zi Lan’s personality is like that, she bravely goes after whatever she wants."

"Hmph, what going after, it’s clearly seduction." Yun Mengyao looked at Xiao Yezi, pinching her little cheek, "Xiao Yezi, keep an eye on your big brother, he’s almost having his soul charmed away by a vixen."

Yun Mengyao finished and froze, cautiously looking at the grim-faced Yin Qianqian, then chuckled dryly, "Senior, I didn’t mean you, please don’t misunderstand."

Qin Yi shook his head helplessly, this woman forgets lessons so easily, such a good woman, but she has a mouth.

Xiao Yezi hugged Qin Yi’s neck tightly, saying in a childish voice, "Big brother is mine, no one is allowed to take him."

Qin Yi glared at Yun Mengyao, "Don’t talk nonsense in front of Xiao Yezi."

"Brother Qin, I and Xiao Yezi need to see Granny Hua, you guys rest well, I’ll come see you later," Hua Nian said.

Qin Yi nodded slightly.

"Big brother, Xiao Yezi will come to play with you later." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

"Alright."

Qin Yi affectionately pinched her little cheek.

After Hua Nian and Xiao Yezi left, Yun Mengyao looked at Qin Yi, "What did that woman say to you when leaving?"

Qin Yi shrugged, smiling, "Nothing much, just told me where she lives and asked me to visit her at night as she has something important to discuss."

"What nonsense important matter, a woman asking a man to her room late at night, how could it be to talk about something proper? This is clearly something meant for the bed. Qin Yi, that woman is no proper person, you have to control yourself."

Qin Yi laughed, "How is she not a proper woman?"

"A proper woman wouldn’t seduce a man so blatantly, would she? Didn’t you see just now, her words, her demeanor, all of it was shamelessly enticing you."

Qin Yi said nonchalantly, "Pursuing what you want, there’s nothing wrong with it."

Yun Mengyao glared wide-eyed, "Qin Yi, you better not have feelings for her, I’m warning you, you have a family and a child, you can’t do something that would betray Bingbing."

Qin Yi shrugged, "We’ll see."

With that, he walked straight towards his room.

Yun Mengyao hesitated for a moment, turning to look at Jing Wuyan and the others, "What does he mean by that? Could it be he’s really been tempted by some bad woman?"

"Why are you so agitated? Qin Yi is handsome, with high cultivation, it’s normal for girls to like him. Don’t forget he’s just a man, not a saint, having a brief romance can be good for mental and physical health. Men shouldn’t hold back for too long, it can cause issues," Yin Qianqian lazily said.
