Live-in Son-in-law

Chapter 1489: Spendthrift Woman

"Then you might as well kill me."

If you want all my assets, there’s no way.

Who is Qin Yi? He’s the kind of person that even the wind leaves behind a sound and geese lose a feather; even an iron rooster would leave a layer of rust.

All that money was earned through his hard work of... no, I mean, earned honestly.

Yun Mengyao glared at him, scornfully said:

"Who was it just now that said a gentleman’s word is as reliable as a team of four horses?"

"The mighty Blood Shura, Qin Yi, who is renowned across the north and south regions, speaks as though it’s flatulence."

"Aren’t you afraid of being laughed at by heroes all over the world if this spreads?"

Qin Yi was completely indifferent, speaking righteously:

"How much is reputation worth? Whether they regard me as a Savior or paint me as a merciless Demon King, I don’t care."

"As for being a gentleman, the people of the Sword Sect claim to be gentlemen. I won’t fight them for such a refined title."

"A man with money is called a man, and without money, he’s less than a man. Poverty is scarier than death; I would rather die."

Everyone was stunned by Qin Yi’s comments.

Yun Mengyao’s face turned red with anger, "Are you just ignoring what you said earlier?"

"What did I say earlier?"

"You said I could name any condition, and you promised to agree."

Qin Yi confidently said, "That has to be within my capabilities. This obviously exceeds what I can do."

"How about this? You ask for something else, maybe like asking me to help kill someone. Just don’t mention money, and anything can be discussed."

Yun Mengyao said angrily, "Have you fallen into a money pit?"

"Yes, I just love money to death, can’t help it. You don’t care about money, so let’s not talk about it."

Yun Mengyao sneered, "Oh, you’re dreaming. A million gold coins, not a penny less, or we break up."

"Really?"

Yun Mengyao thought for a moment, "Nine hundred thousand will do."

"I meant the part about breaking up."

Yun Mengyao was stunned for a while, then got furious, "You can go to hell, you miser. Do you think my life is worth less than a million?"

"Let’s talk properly, don’t make it seem like a transaction."

Yun Mengyao’s eyes flared with anger, "What did you say?"

"Say it again if you dare."

As she said this, she charged directly at Qin Yi, shouting, "Aren’t you a hero? Didn’t you almost kill me last night? Now here’s your chance, go ahead and kill."

Damn, this woman is crazy.

A wise man doesn’t fight with women.

Qin Yi turned and ran.

"Stand still."

Yun Mengyao chased relentlessly.

In an instant, the two of them burst out of the main hall, leaving Jing Wangyou and the others completely bewildered.

Qiu Yuhai said, "Should we try to mediate between the two of them?"

"No need, this is how they normally interact. Spend more time with Brother Qin and you’ll get used to it. This happens often,"

Jing Wuyan said with a smile.

Jing Wangyou laughed, "As long as they’re fine. Qin Yi is back. Xiao Jian, prepare for adopting Xiaoxi as a goddaughter; we’ll hold the ceremony tomorrow."

Xiao Jian nodded, "Master Hall, rest assured, I’ll prepare right away."

"Father, I want to have my wedding with Xiaoxi on the same day as my sister’s. What do you think?"

Jing Wangyou pondered for a moment, then smiled,

"That’s good; many things have happened recently, delaying your sister’s wedding schedule, which is somewhat unfair to her."

"Great Elder, please take care of the wedding details. Find a suitable day quickly."

Qiu Yuhai nodded, "Master Hall, don’t worry, leave it to me."

Just then, Qin Yi burst in from outside the main hall.

Everyone looked behind him but didn’t see Yun Mengyao.

"Brother Qin, where is the Fairy Yun? Did you concede?"

Jing Wuyan asked with a smile.

Qin Yi smirked, "No way! That silly woman is out searching for me now."

"Let her search slowly. Don’t spoil her, she spends like there’s no tomorrow, asking for a million right off the bat, no sense of economy."

Everyone looked at each other curiously.

Jing Wangyou joked, "Qin Yi, your words sound like you’re scolding your wife."

Qin Yi jumped in shock, "Don’t talk nonsense. If my wife acted like this, I’d scold her eighteen times a day."

"Moreover, my wife is a rarity of beauty and intelligence. Even a Fairy descending from the Nine Heavens would be ashamed in front of her, really."

Qin Yi smugly walked over, poured himself a cup of tea, and sipped delightedly.

Everyone chuckled silently, accustomed to Qin Yi’s boasting.

Qin Yi glared, "You don’t believe me?"

He could bear other things, but not the notion that his wife wasn’t beautiful or smart enough.

Qin Yi took out a pendant from his pocket and opened it to reveal a photograph of Xia Yanbing and two children.

"See, was I lying?"

Everyone stepped forward to take a closer look, as the photo was small.

"Was I lying? My wife is stunningly beautiful."

Qin Yi said with a smug smile.

The crowd had to nod; though small, the photo clearly showed Xia Yanbing’s serene demeanor and exceptional beauty.

"Brother Qin, you’re indeed blessed. I always thought you were exaggerating about your spouse."

Qin Yi rolled his eyes, "Would I lie?"

Saying so, he carefully closed the pendant and tucked it back, casually commenting, "I heard you discussing Wuyan’s wedding earlier. Is there anything you need my help with?"

Jing Wangyou smiled, "All these have dedicated personnel to handle. Having you, Qin Yi, attend Wuyan’s wedding and share a cup of wedding wine is a great honor for our Netherworld Hall."

"Brother Qin, it’s my first time getting married, and I know nothing. You’ve been married, so you must have experience; you have to guide me through it."

"No problem," Qin Yi said, then added, "Nobody has experience the first time; marry a few more times, and you’ll get it."

Everyone: "..."

Jing Wuyan smiled wryly, wondering who would get married just to gather experience.

Jing Wangyou suddenly recalled something and asked Qin Yi:

"You mentioned fighting someone when you returned earlier?"

Qin Yi replied, "Tian Xie."

Jing Wangyou pondered, "The one with the soul aligned that we encountered in the Ancient Relic?"

Qin Yi nodded.

Jing Wangyou’s expression changed slightly, "Did he come to the Netherworld Hall?"

"No, he lurked outside Netherworld City. I used some special methods to locate him."

"But, regrettably, this guy is too cunning; he slipped away once."

"Speaking of this, I should remind you, Wuyan’s wedding is soon, and heroes from all walks will surely come to celebrate. Make sure to verify identities before letting them in."

Jing Wangyou nodded slightly, "You worry that Tian Xie might sneak in to cause trouble?"

"Tian Xie knows the Thousand Faces Technique and can readily change his appearance. Make sure your people are thorough in their checks."

"Tian Xie isn’t scary, but the old ghost inside him has lived for who knows how long, and is insidious and cunning, so beware."
