Seeking the Tao in the Mortal World

“Ye Ling shouldn’t go back with you.” Cheng Cheng slowly walked into the palace, and her voice sounded a little cold, “There are thousands of ruins in the Rift Valley, and there are rumors that there are Flying Serpent corpses here. When I-King take over Beastkin City, it will be time for every beastkin to strive. Ye Ling’s future is limitless here. If she follows you back to the mortal world, she will only be looked down upon by others. At most, she will become your pet snake. What good will it do to her?”

Qin Yi actually wanted to make a sarcastic comment ‘your words of concern for her sound a bit unpleasant to the ears’.

But he still couldn’t offend her at this time, so he had to keep silent.

Cheng Cheng looked at his face for a while, and she chuckled, “Holding anger in your mind doesn’t suit you. You are very easy to be seen through.”

Qin Yi sighed, “Of course I’m a rookie in front of King.”

Cheng Cheng said nonchalantly, “You can understand it as I need to use the Flying Serpent’s bloodline. Above the Rift Valley, we don’t dare to go up easily, for fear of attracting attacks from human cultivators. But below the Rift Valley… the Beastkin City is surrounded by extremely dangerous ruins. We haven’t seen what it looks like outside for a long time. We need a large number of powerful warriors and inheritors of special bloodlines to expand the survival lifeline of the beastkin clan.”

“King has great ambitions and a long-term vision. I believe that Beastkin City will be a little different in the hands of the King.” Qin Yi said this sincerely.

Cheng Cheng smiled sweetly, “There is something else in my chest, don’t you want to see it?”

Qin Yi said helplessly, “King, why would you make such a joke again? It’s not funny.”

Cheng Cheng’s smile slowly faded. She looked at him calmly for a while before saying, “You are waiting for the elixir?”

“Yes, that is what was promised. Qin Yi fulfilled King’s entrustment, and I hope that the king will not break the promise.”

“Of course I-King am not an ungrateful person.” Cheng Cheng smiled again, “In fact, the most important zodiac token for this setup was brought by you. You are the top contributor. If I-King can fulfill your request, how can I-King convince the other people?”

Qin Yi felt relieved.

Cheng Cheng turned her palm, and a crystal-like elixir appeared in her palm. It exuded an extremely cold aura. Looking through the ice crystal, there was blood flowing inside like it was a living elixier.

“The main ingredient is the Frost Fruit you got. I-King didn’t lie to you.” Cheng Cheng threw the elixir to him, “This elixir can increase lifespan by 16 years. Don’t think it’s too little. This is my limit now.”

Qin Yi took it tremblingly. At this moment, he felt as if all his strength had been drained away, and he had mixed emotions.

Going through all kinds of hardships to get to the Rift Valley, advancing in confusion, overcoming obstacles, and risking his life for this thing. Now that it was still early before the promised date, the task had settled. He could finally go back with a smile, saying ‘Qin Yi lives up to the promise’.

Seeing his trembling hands, Cheng Cheng showed a hint of complication. She asked casually, “Why don’t you stay for 2 more days? You can spend more time with Ye Ling.”

Ye Ling said in a low voice, “Forget it, Brother is going back. Forcing him to stay will only make him absent-minded.”

“Yes.” Qin Yi said softly to Ye Ling, “Brother is leaving. Be more careful in the Beastkin City.”

Ye Ling finally choked up and pulled his sleeve: “Brother, I’ll send you off.”

“No need, we have to separate anyway. Why bother with unnecessary entanglements of siblings? Brother will definitely visit you when I have time.”

Qin Yi rubbed Ye Ling’s head one last time and left without looking at Cheng Cheng again.

Cheng Cheng looked at his back without saying a word until he disappeared. She suddenly swayed slightly and looked pale.

Ye Ling was secretly wiping her tears. She was surprised when she saw this. She supported her and asked, “What’s wrong, Master? Have you not recovered from the injury yesterday?”

“I’m fine.” Cheng Cheng smiled slightly, “Master did use you this time, but I thought you could run away with your speed… Forget it, it’s reasonable if you want to blame Master.”

“I’m not angry with Master…” Ye Ling said in a low voice, “Brother is gentle on the surface, but he feels deeply disappointed in his heart. After this trade, I’m afraid he has broken with Master…”

Cheng Cheng still smiled, “It’s just a trade. Such an ending is good for both of us.”ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ Novᴇ(l)ꜰɪre .ɴᴇt

Qin Yi strode out of the palace gate and saw Eagle Li blocking him with a livid face.

Qin Yi was startled for a moment, “Does General Eagle need anything from me?”

Eagle Li said with a stern face, “Leave the elixir.”

Qin Yi frowned and said, “This is what your King promised. Do you want your King to bear the name of unfaithful?”

Eagle Li’s tone was very irritable, “Shut up. Hand over the elixir and I will spare your life!”

“Sorry.” Qin Yi said slowly, “This is impossible.”

Eagle Li was so furious that he was about to attack.

“Eagle Li!” Cheng Cheng’s cold voice came from the palace, “If you do that, it will be tantamount to treason.”

Eagle Li said anxiously, “King!”

“Let him go!”

Eagle Li stared at Qin Yi for a long time, then he went into the palace angrily.

Qin Yi also strode out of the city holding in his anger. This damn Eagle Li, he already wanted to chase me out of the Beastkin City before. I didn’t expect him to try snatching the precious elixir now!

Liu Su sighed faintly. In fact, it noticed a lot of things, but it didn’t say anything.

It’s good to end the tie with Beastkin City like this.

In the East Palace, Ye Ling watched helplessly as Cheng Cheng spurted a mouthful of blood after sending a voice transmission.

She was so frightened, “Master, what’s wrong with you?”

“What’s wrong?” Eagle Li strode in and said sternly, “You brother and sister don’t know anything! Increase lifespan, is that something that can be refined casually!? That Frost Fruit is just to preserve the elixir power. Shenghuang’s heart blood is the true ingredient that increases lifespan!”

“Heart… heart blood…” Ye Ling’s face turned pale.

“King used her own heart blood. The other gains lifespan, but her lifespan will be reduced by much more! This is exchanging the lifespan of King for the other person! If it kills King, can you bear the consequences?”

“Eagle Li.” Cheng Cheng waved her hand weakly, “It’s not that serious. The three leylines are now in my hands. The source of beastkin power is more abundant than you imagined. Besides, my doppelganger is still in Kunpeng Purple Mansion. I can switch with it to cultivate at any time. This loss will be made up soon…”

“No one has entered Kunpeng Purple Mansion for tens of thousands of years. God knows what the situation is!” Eagle Li said angrily, “King, please forgive my bluntness, but you really shouldn’t fall in love with a human!”

Cheng Cheng was startled for a moment, then she shook her head and said, “I already told you that’s not the case. If I fell in love with him, I wouldn’t let him be the bait that could kill him at any time. Now I’m just fulfilling my promise and rewarding him with merit. In fact, Qin Yi was very important to our plan, so giving him this elixir is not too much. Could it be that you, General Eagle, are a commander-in-chief who does not reward according to merits? If you still want to take the elixir back, it is an embarrassment to our White Kingdom!”

Towards the end of the sentence, the tone became harsh. It was already a King criticism.

Eagle Li didn’t know what to say. This seems to sound reasonable, but who will ever use one’s lifespan as a reward? Isn’t that stupid?!

Cheng Cheng calmed down slightly and whispered, “Ye Ling, take me back to my room to rest.”

Ye Ling took Cheng Cheng back to the palace with her mind full of confusion. She asked carefully, “Master… do you really like Brother?”

“Eagle Li is confused, and so are you! Your Brother was almost killed by me, how is that love?” Cheng Cheng snappishly threw Ye Ling out, “Go and cultivate by yourself, don’t disturb my recuperation.”

“Bang!” The bedroom door closed, and there was silence inside.

“Do I-King really look like a fool who falls in love? It’s just that he is a little special…”

Cheng Cheng spat, then she gradually became dazed. She didn’t move for a long time.

She looked at the jewels around her blankly, then suddenly remembered something. She took out a bracelet and threw it away.

The bracelet fell to the ground and turned into a round mirror. Cheng Cheng’s figure was reflected in the mirror.

“Hey, Mirror, I’m rewarding based on merits, and I admire Qin Yi. I can’t bear to disappoint a man who had gone through a life and death crisis. Of course I have to reward him, right?”

Cheng Cheng in the mirror said, “You love him.”

Cheng Cheng’s eyes widened. All her chattering words were stuck in her throat. Then her expression gradually calmed down. She stared at herself in the mirror for a long time.
