Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 1221: Unusual Among the Crowd

Qin Yi’s eyes were icy cold, someone actually attempted an assassination while he was away for just over ten minutes.

He couldn’t afford to care about anything else. He promised Yun Qinglian to protect her completely. If Yun Qinglian died, he would feel guilty for life.

Purple light swirled around Qin Yi’s palm as he began to examine Yun Qinglian’s injuries.

As the examination continued, Qin Yi’s expression became odd.

The penetrating wound was in Yun Qinglian’s left chest, which logically should have pierced her heart, yet he could feel Yun Qinglian’s strong heartbeat.

What is going on?

A heart being pierced, yet beating so strongly, defies logic.

He checked carefully again, unable to believe it.

"Yun Qinglian, you’ve got some crazy luck, such good fortune," Qin Yi exhaled a heavy sigh of relief, realizing Yun Qinglian’s heart was actually on the right side.

He had heard of people with hearts on the right side, but such is rare, a one in hundreds of thousands chance, and Yun Qinglian was one of them.

Qin Yi began energy movement to help Yun Qinglian heal her injuries, and surprisingly, his cultivation technique was incredibly effective. Not long after, Yun Qinglian slowly opened her eyes.

"Qin Yi?" Yun Qinglian murmured with a puzzled look.

Qin Yi was stunned, "You don’t recognize me? You were stabbed with a sword, not to the brain, how did you become silly?"

"I’m not dead?" Yun Qinglian said weakly, she had lost a lot of blood, but it wasn’t critical.

Even the murderer couldn’t have imagined Yun Qinglian’s heart being on the left side, unlike others. It was fortunate Qin Yi returned early, or if the murderer had thrust another sword onto Yun Qinglian’s neck, even a Daluo Golden Immortal couldn’t save her.

"You’re already dead," Qin Yi said earnestly.

Yun Qinglian, shrouded in purple light that obscured her vision, saw only purple everywhere. Having just woken up, she was still not entirely clear-minded due to excessive blood loss. Upon hearing Qin Yi’s words, her face turned a few shades paler.

"Yun Qinglian, you are already dead, and I used great divine power to come to hell to see you. You are now in the underworld, you can’t return to the mortal world. Do you have any unfulfilled wishes? I can help you fulfill them. Also, you must need a lot of funds to vie for the throne; I assume you’ve saved quite a lot. Since you won’t need it, tell me where it’s hidden so I can distribute it to the poor, which can count for accruing some good karma, ensuring a better reincarnation for you."

Yun Qinglian stared blankly at Qin Yi before opening her mouth.

"What did you say?" Qin Yi couldn’t hear her clearly.

Yun Qinglian mouthed something again without sound.

"What are you saying?" Qin Yi instinctively leaned in closer to listen.

Suddenly, Yun Qinglian opened her mouth and bit Qin Yi’s ear.

"Hiss..." Qin Yi winced and inhaled sharply from the pain, "Yun Qinglian, are you crazy, let go of me."

"@#￥%&*..."

"What the hell are you saying? Let go of me, my ear is bleeding." Qin Yi grimaced in pain. Fortunately, Yun Qinglian was weak, otherwise, his ear might have been bitten off.

Yun Qinglian released Qin Yi’s ear.

Qin Yi rubbed his ear, thankfully it wasn’t bleeding, and said angrily, "Are you a dog? Why are you biting people?"

"Of course I bit you, who told you to scare me." Yun Qinglian said with some satisfaction, "I almost died, and you still tried to trick me out of my money, do you have any conscience?"

"Uh..." Qin Yi’s face was filled with embarrassment, "Wasn’t that to lighten your mood? A good mood is greatly beneficial for recovering from injuries."

Yun Qinglian looked at him with contempt, as if she had seen through him long ago.

Qin Yi was frustrated, "How did you know you were still alive?"

"Breathing, can ghosts breathe?"

"Uh..." Qin Yi was embarrassed.

"You saved me once again, thank you!" Yun Qinglian’s eyes softened, showing her tenderness.

Qin Yi laughed: "It wasn’t me who saved you this time, you saved yourself."

If not for her heart being on the right side, no one, including him, could have saved her.

Yun Qinglian looked surprised, "What do you mean?"

"Don’t you know you are different from ordinary people?"

Yun Qinglian looked even more confused.

"Ordinary people have their hearts on the left, but yours is on the right, that’s why the sword didn’t pierce your heart. Otherwise, no one could have saved you."

Yun Qinglian’s mouth dropped open, "My heart is on the right?"

"My gosh, you didn’t know until now?"

Yun Qinglian took a long time to come to her senses, shook her head, and said: "No wonder my heartbeat has always been weak, I thought it was an illness I developed from training, turns out I was wrong, I thought my heart was on the left side like everyone else."

Qin Yi, looking speechless.

"God, how have you survived till now? Your heart is on the right, you were feeling for it on the left, so you felt it was weak. Actually, your heart beats powerfully and vigorously."

Yun Qinglian was a bit embarrassed, "I’ve never been sick before, and no one ever told me my heart was on the right side. Qin Yi, why is my heart on the right side, is it good or bad?"

"In terms of human anatomy, having your heart on the right is naturally not a good thing. But for this instance, having it on the right was a blessing as it saved your life. But don’t worry, this isn’t unique to you. Also, I just checked, your heartbeat is strong and vigorous, which indicates your heart is healthy."

Yun Qinglian breathed a sigh of relief, "That’s good."

"By the way, who attempted to kill you?" Qin Yi asked.

Yun Qinglian shook her head, "The person was all in black, had a black cloth over the face, couldn’t see their appearance. Also, their cultivation was very high, at least in the Body Integration Realm, I wasn’t a match, couldn’t fight back before getting stabbed."

Killing intent flashed in Qin Yi’s eyes.

"Qin Yi, you almost broke your promise."

"What?" Qin Yi didn’t understand.

"You promised to protect me completely, but I almost died, you broke your word."

Qin Yi smiled wryly, "Yes, I broke my word. Had it not been for your heart being different, you would have died already. I’m sorry!"

"I forgive you."

"Hmm?" Qin Yi laughed, "You forgive me so easily?"

"Actually, it’s not your fault, when I left your protection, I realized how weak I am. In this world, weakness is a sin. Once I’m better, I’m determined to train hard and become stronger. You can’t protect me forever, so I need to have the power to protect myself."

Qin Yi laughed, "Alright, I’ll help you become strong."

"Then can you give me the Heavenly Thunder Fruit?"

Qin Yi: "..."

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and heal, don’t leave lasting effects, it’s a penetrating wound, already damaged the vitality."

Yun Qinglian pursed her lips, "The one who tried to kill me said a few words."

"Hmm? What did they say?" Qin Yi asked.

Yun Qinglian thought for a while and said, "He said don’t blame me, I’m just following orders."

Qin Yi pondered for a moment, then said with a bitter smile, "Those words alone don’t identify who they are. You must have offended too many people, why does everyone want to kill you?"

Yun Qinglian, frustrated, said: "Maybe they came to kill you, but your cultivation is too strong, they couldn’t, so they changed target to me. I got dragged in because of you."

Qin Yi: "..."
