Live-in Son-in-law

Chapter 1436: The Slap in the Face Came Out of Nowhere

Yin Qianqian grinned mischievously, winked at Qin Yi, and licked her lips with her pink tongue, tempting him, "Qin Yi, if you have time, let me have a taste too."

"Cough..."

Once again, Qin Yi started coughing violently, quickly covering his mouth to avoid waking up little Leafy, tears almost streaming from his eyes.

Taste your sister, indeed.

Qin Yi looked speechless; when a woman gets lustful, men don’t stand a chance.

"We’ll stay in the Elf Clan for two days before we leave."

Qin Yi hurriedly changed the topic, fearing what else this seductive fox Yin Qianqian might say next.

"Then let’s stay for two days."

Yin Qianqian said lazily, pouting in disinterest.

That day, an Elf General came to invite Qin Yi, saying the Clan Leader wanted to see him.

Elf Holy Temple.

Qin Yi looked up at the plaque above the door, smiling slightly.

What they call the Holy Temple is just a somewhat large wooden house.

Qin Yi followed the Elf General inside.

"Qin Yi has arrived?"

The Elf Clan Leader and all the Elders stood to greet him.

Aside from Qin Yi saving the Elf Clan, his cultivation alone demanded utmost respect.

Qin Yi nodded slightly, "What did the senior call me here for?"

"Qin Yi, please take a seat first."

Once Qin Yi sat down, the Elf Clan Leader approached with others.

Then, collectively, they bowed deeply before Qin Yi.

"Qin Yi, your immense grace and virtue towards the Elf Clan, we will never forget."

"If you need the Elf Clan in the future, we will not hesitate."

The Elf Clan Leader said earnestly.

Qin Yi smiled, "No need for politeness, senior; you’ve already thanked me several times. Any more thanks and I’ll feel embarrassed."

Actually, Qin Yi thought internally, lots of talk but no action; these elf folks don’t understand human interactions.

Don’t just thank me verbally, how about something tangible?

"Qin Yi, words are too light; we’ve prepared a small gift, hoping you won’t mind."

Qin Yi was slightly startled, not expecting something tangible.

"This is too kind."

He had to refuse verbally, to show his noble character.

"Qin Yi, you must accept this, just a token of appreciation."

The Elf Clan Leader said, clapping his hands.

A beautiful female elf walked over, offering the White Jade Bottle to Qin Yi with both hands.

This White Jade Bottle was thirty centimeters tall, pure white, carved from a single piece of white jade.

"What is this?" Qin Yi asked, puzzled.

"This is Holy Spring Water, greatly beneficial to cultivation."

Qin Yi was slightly disappointed; he had visited the Holy Spring, and although it contained spiritual power, it wasn’t very useful for him right now—he’d rather get some Earth Spirit Stone.

"Qin Yi, this Holy Spring Water not only enhances cultivation but also beautifies, keeps one youthful forever."

Qin Yi’s eyes lit up; he hadn’t expected this additional effect of the Holy Spring Water.

He thought Mengyao would definitely like this.

"In that case, I respectfully accept."

Qin Yi took the Jade Bottle and stood up to thank them.

Then, the Elf Clan Leader clapped again.

Qin Yi’s heart stirred; was there more?

Sure enough, another beautiful female elf stepped forward, holding a white jade box.

Wow, is this Elf Clan dealing in jade?

The Elf Clan Leader took the box, smiling, "Qin Yi, why don’t you guess what’s inside?"

Qin Yi shook his head, "I can’t guess."

The Elf Clan Leader laughed and opened the box.

As the box opened, dense spiritual energy quickly spread out like substance.

Qin Yi’s expression turned serious; inside the box was a completely snow-white fruit, purer than white jade, its surface shimmering with white light.

Qin Yi could clearly sense the terrifying spiritual power contained in the fruit, at least as good as the Heavenly Thunder Fruit.

"What is this?" Qin Yi asked, trying to calm himself.

"This is the Elf Holy Fruit, maturing every five hundred years, but only two each time."

A five-hundred-year-old Spirit Fruit.

Qin Yi was shocked internally.

"Senior, this gift is too valuable; I cannot accept it."

Actually, Qin Yi almost wanted to snatch it but had to put on the right appearance. Sometimes, people need to be hypocritical when it matters.

The Elf Clan Leader placed the Elf Holy Fruit in Qin Yi’s hand.

"Although the Elf Holy Fruit is precious, it’s far less important than the safety of our Elf Clan."

"Qin Yi saved our Elf Clan, and we have nothing better to thank you with than this, hoping you won’t mind."

Qin Yi was overjoyed inside; mind? No way.

"Thank you for your generosity, senior; I will accept it."

...

Qin Yi returned to his residence.

Yun Mengyao curiously approached, "Qin Yi, what did the Elf Clan Leader want from you? Were they planning to arrange for a few beautiful elves to thank you for your kindness?"

Qin Yi rolled his eyes, "You think the Elf Clan Leader is as shallow as that, with such nonsensical thoughts."

Yun Mengyao pouted, "Then what did she want from you?"

"Of course, to express gratitude to me."

Yun Mengyao’s eyes lit up, "How did they thank you?"

Qin Yi flipped his hand, a flash of light, and the White Jade Bottle appeared.

"What’s this?"

Yun Mengyao snatched it and opened it, immediately looking disappointed.

"The Elf Clan Leader is way too stingy, just giving some Holy Spring Water as thanks and it’s only half a bottle."

Actually, the Elf Clan Leader had given a full one. On the way back, Qin Yi split half, intending to save it for Xia Yanbing; good stuff shouldn’t be forgotten for your wife.

"So stingy, they dare to give this. It’s an insult, really?"

Yun Mengyao disdainfully tossed the White Jade Bottle on the table.

Qin Yi laughed, "This is good stuff."

"Tch, isn’t it just Holy Water? I saw it all last night—the entire Holy Spring is full of this stuff. I don’t want it; it’s just charity from the Elves. Anyone who wants it can have it."

"You sure you don’t want it?"

"I said I don’t want it."

Qin Yi shrugged, "Don’t end up regretting and slapping your own face."

"I’m not gonna steam buns just to save face. This worthless thing, I won’t bring shame to myself over it. It’s not even better than two Earth Spirit Stones in spiritual energy."

Qin Yi chuckled, "Forgot to mention, do you know why Elf Clan members stay youthful forever, and never age?"

Everyone looked at Qin Yi, puzzled.

Yin Qianqian’s eyes sparkled, probing, "Is it because of this Holy Water?"

"Correct, it’s because of this Holy Spring Water that they never age."

Jing Wuyan seemed calm, but Yin Qianqian and Xiaoxi’s eyes sparkled.

Women have never been able to resist eternal youth.

Suddenly, Yun Mengyao hugged the White Jade Bottle, "Why didn’t you say so earlier?"

Everyone looked at her teasingly.

Yun Mengyao blushed, just a moment ago, she was adamant about not taking it. A swift face slapping moment.

"Why are you looking? I do have the ability to laugh off embarrassment. Being envious won’t help you."

Everyone: "..."

How thick-skinned does one have to be to say something like that so casually?
