Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 1175: Boys Must Protect Themselves When Away from Home
Yun Qinglian’s alluring phoenix eyes slowly narrowed as she sized up Qin Yi, her gaze filled with curiosity and interest.
After a while, she finally spoke slowly, "Are you really Qin Yi?"
Qin Yi didn’t know how many times he had answered this question. He simply nodded slightly.
Yun Qinglian continued, "The Qin Yi who killed the Three Kings of the Tianyue Empire?"
Qin Yi nodded again.
Yun Qinglian slowly stood up, her gauzy attire so thin it barely concealed, exuding endless allure as she approached Qin Yi. Before she reached him, a pleasant fragrance had already wafted over.
As Yun Qinglian scrutinized Qin Yi, he was also observing her. He hadn’t noticed earlier, but when Yun Qinglian stood up, a flicker of surprise flashed in his heart. Rumors outside claimed Yun Qinglian preferred men; upon entering, seeing several men serving Yun Qinglian, Qin Yi had believed it wholeheartedly.
However, when Yun Qinglian stood up at that moment, he knew this woman was not simple. Perhaps everyone outside had been deceived by her; her preference might just be a façade. Because Yun Qinglian was still pure, he wouldn’t mistake this.
A woman known for liking men, yet still pure — truly interesting.
Perhaps beauty was her weapon; she wielded allure, not her body.
Qin Yi didn’t believe Yun Qinglian was unaware of the rumors about her, yet she had never refuted them—a woman with personality.
Yun Qinglian’s eyes swirled, casting a look with unspeakable charm at Qin Yi. Most men couldn’t bear such a gaze. Fortunately, Qin Yi had seen many beauties and was somewhat immune.
But suddenly, Yun Qinglian struck towards Qin Yi’s forehead with a palm.
Yun Qinglian’s cultivation was not weak, at the Divine Separation Middle Stage, and this strike was genuine—if it landed, steel would shatter.
However, Qin Yi neither dodged nor flinched. A purple barrier suddenly appeared.
"Bang!"
Yun Qinglian’s palm hit the brilliant purple barrier, ripples surged, the barrier remained, but Yun Qinglian was knocked back repeatedly.
This was with Qin Yi holding back, otherwise, Yun Qinglian’s arm would be beyond saving.
The lead commander was full of tension, with a swift sound, his longsword was unsheathed, warily staring at Qin Yi.
Qin Yi, however, flashed a bright smile at Yun Qinglian.
Yun Qinglian rubbed her faintly aching wrist; seeing Qin Yi’s smile, she couldn’t help but smile too, simultaneously waving to the lead commander.
Qin Yi’s lips curled slightly; Yun Qinglian’s sudden strike was merely a test, to verify if he truly was Qin Yi. After all, his appearance was too misleading; in their hearts, someone capable of killing the Three Kings of the Tianyue Empire could look like anything, but certainly not like him.
"All of you may leave," Yun Qinglian waved her hand and said.
The lead commander was anxious; this person was Qin Yi, what if he harbored ill intentions and injured the Princess?
"Don’t worry! He can slay the Three Kings, if he wanted to harm me, do you think you could stop him?" Yun Qinglian spoke slowly.
The lead commander was full of shame; indeed, he couldn’t stop him.
"All of you may leave!" Yun Qinglian said again.
The lead commander glanced at Qin Yi with a warning in his eyes, then only after saluting did he lead the men serving Yun Qinglian out.
Only Qin Yi and Yun Qinglian remained in the large hall at this moment.
Yun Qinglian smiled slightly, "Young Master Qin, please sit."
Qin Yi paused for a moment, as here, only Yun Qinglian’s chair, which could serve as a bed, was available.
Qin Yi paused merely for a second, then walked over and boldly plopped down onto Yun Qinglian’s chair.
Yun Qinglian was taken aback, looking at Qin Yi with a strange gaze, then glancing beside her chair.
Qin Yi instinctively followed her gaze, realizing there was a small stool beside Yun Qinglian’s throne, which he hadn’t noticed earlier. Apparently, she intended for him to sit on the small stool.
Forget it, having already sat, switching would be embarrassing; might as well go along with it.
Seeing Qin Yi remain seated motionless, Yun Qinglian’s elegant lips curved slightly, "Would you like a drink? Wine or tea?"
"Tea, please! It’s just us two, getting drunk could lead to trouble. Before leaving, my wife reminded me that my handsome looks could entice women; when I’m out, I must protect myself well," Qin Yi said earnestly.
From the moment he realized Yun Qinglian was pure, Qin Yi clearly knew his charm wouldn’t work. Because Yun Qinglian’s preference for men was entirely pretended.
Yun Qinglian looked at Qin Yi and chuckled. She said no more, walked over, and picked up the teapot from the table beside, pouring a cup of tea for Qin Yi.
If outsiders saw this, they’d be shocked. The Eldest Princess of Yunyue Empire personally pouring tea for someone.
Yun Qinglian handed the tea over, and Qin Yi unceremoniously accepted it and took a sip. Having recently dined excessively, he was just a bit thirsty.
Of course, one must say something after drinking tea, Qin Yi remarked, "Good tea!"
"You don’t understand tea at all," Yun Qinglian smiled, speaking of tea like gulping down; Qin Yi certainly didn’t understand tea.
Qin Yi: "..."
"Understanding without speaking out, we can continue chatting happily."
Yun Qinglian laughed, "Young Master Qin, are you here to kill me?"
"Hmm?" Qin Yi was puzzled, "Why would you say that? Given the Eldest Princess’s status, if word got out, it would spell huge trouble for me."
"But are you afraid?"
Qin Yi nodded, then shook his head.
"What do you mean?" Yun Qinglian asked perplexed.
Qin Yi laughed, "Honestly, I just dislike trouble."
"So you’re not here to kill me?"
"Why would I want to kill you? The Eldest Princess is so beautiful, I have always cherished beauty, how could I possibly commit such a destructive act."
Yun Qinglian nodded slightly, "That’s indeed true, Yun Mengyao and Yun Susu are both beauties chosen from thousands."
"Ahem..." Qin Yi coughed, disguising his awkwardness, "They’re merely friends."
"I understand! That’s how it has to be said publicly, given Susu is a Princess, her reputation must be considered."
Qin Yi: "..."
With the throne occupied, Yun Qinglian was a bit helpless, moved over the small stool to sit. But being too close, Qin Yi sitting higher, Yun Qinglian dressed so simply, all Qin Yi needed to do was glance down to behold the view before her chest.
Qin Yi touched his nose, resists improper glances, and discreetly shifted his gaze.
Laughter flickered in Yun Qinglian’s eyes, her lips curled, seeming to relax completely.
"Young Master Qin deliberately came to see me, right?"
Qin Yi was surprised, "Why do you say that?"
"Just guessing, because I knew eventually Young Master Qin would seek me out."
"Why?" Qin Yi asked intrigued.
Yun Qinglian laughed, "Because with Yun Baixuan dealt with, next it’s either me or the Eldest Prince. I just didn’t expect you to come to me first."
