Chapter 1437: Leaving the Elf Clan

Yun Mengyao held the White Jade Bottle, her face still showing disdain.

"The Elf Clan is really stingy, they only gave half a bottle."

"Xiao Xi, let’s go, let’s try this Holy Water, see if it’s really that magical?"

Hua Nian said, "Sister Yun, let me show you how to use it."

Yun Mengyao took a few steps with Xiao Xi, then looked back at Yin Qianqian, "Don’t you want to try it?"

"This auntie has such natural beauty it’s hard to abandon. Oh well, let me see if the water from the Holy Spring is as amazing as they say."

Yin Qianqian reluctantly followed along.

Qin Yi and Jing Wuyan exchanged a glance, yet another shameless one.

"Hah, women..."

Jing Wuyan shook his head.

Qin Yi looked at him, his expression odd.

Jing Wuyan chuckled awkwardly, "I mean women really go all out for beauty."

"You’re just figuring that out."

Qin Yi smiled slightly, took out a piece of top-grade Earth Spirit Stone, examined it a few times, then brought his fingers together like a knife and began carving.

First, he cut the Earth Spirit Stone into the size of a jade plaque, then a burst of Purple Light shot out like a laser, jade flakes flying everywhere.

"What is Brother Qin doing?"

"Making an amulet for Little Leaf, it could be a lifesaver at a critical moment."

Jing Wuyan said, "Brother Qin treats Little Leaf like his own child."

"You’ll understand once you have a child. Especially when you can’t always be with them, can’t watch them grow up."

Jing Wuyan didn’t say anything, because he didn’t understand.

About half an hour later, Yun Mengyao ran out.

Qin Yi, feeling annoyed, pushed her face away, "What are you doing getting so close? Afraid I don’t know how big your face is?"

"You’re the one with the big face, you’re a big-faced cat. Haven’t you noticed any changes in me?"

Qin Yi glanced at her, "It seems like your skin has gotten thicker."

"Go to hell. Haven’t you noticed my skin has gotten better?"

Qin Yi took a closer look, Yun Mengyao’s skin was fair with a rosy glow, delicate and smooth, not a pore in sight.

"It seems the water from the Holy Spring really does have miraculous effects on beauty care."

"Right? I feel like my skin has improved too. Now I feel like my skin is almost as good as yours."

Qin Yi scoffed, "Mine is natural, yours is acquired, there’s no comparison."

Yun Mengyao curled her lips, full of disdain, "A grown man, with better skin than a woman, what’s there to brag about."

"I understand your envy and jealousy."

"Hah, who’s envious? My lady’s skin isn’t bad either. Back in your hometown, if I entered a competition, I’d at least be a Miss World."

"Yes, Miss!"

Yun Mengyao’s pretty face darkened, "Who’s a miss, I’m too lazy to bother with you."

Qin Yi shook his head with a smile and quietly placed the carved jade plaque on Little Leaf.

On the jade plaque, he had carved an array to protect Little Leaf at crucial moments.

...

The next day, the first light of dawn appeared.

Little Leaf was still sound asleep, this little one really could sleep well.

Qin Yi leaned over and kissed her little face.

"It’s time to go."

Qin Yi felt a bit reluctant.

But he had many things to do and couldn’t always stay by Little Leaf’s side.

He quietly exited the room.

Yun Mengyao and the others were already waiting; they had agreed on it before going to sleep last night.

"Is Hua Nian still sleeping?" Qin Yi asked.

Yun Mengyao nodded.

Qin Yi sighed, "Let’s go."

A group of people arrived at the exit of the Elf Clan.

The Elf Clan Leader and others were there.

Yesterday, Qin Yi had already bid farewell to the Elf Clan Leader.

So they all knew Qin Yi was leaving today and specially came to see him off.

"Young Master Qin, can’t you stay a few more days?"

"Since you came, I haven’t had the chance to properly entertain you."

The Elf Clan Leader stepped forward and said.

"Thank you, elder. There will be a chance, I’ll come again next time."

"Then it’s a deal."

Qin Yi nodded and looked at Hua Nian, "Take good care of Little Leaf."

"Don’t worry, I will," Hua Nian nodded.

After a few simple parting words, Qin Yi and the others left.

After leaving the Elf Clan, Qin Yi looked back once.

This departure, meeting again was uncertain.

"Reluctant to leave Little Leaf?" Yun Mengyao asked.

Qin Yi didn’t hide it, nodding slightly.

"Don’t worry! Little Leaf is the next Elf Clan Leader, the Elf Clan will take good care of her."

"This girl, when she wakes up and finds out I’ve left, she’ll definitely cry."

Everyone knew that Qin Yi treated Little Leaf like his own daughter.

"Let’s go."

Qin Yi sighed and silently walked forward.

Along the way, Qin Yi’s mood wasn’t very high.

He could imagine, once Little Leaf woke up and found he had left, she would cry very sadly.

Yun Mengyao quickened her pace to catch up with Qin Yi.

"Don’t be sad, you might have the chance to come back in the future."

Qin Yi forced a bitter smile, a chance? That chance seemed so slim.

Yin Qianqian said, "Since knowing you, watching you kill decisively, cold-blooded and ruthless. I didn’t expect your emotions to be so delicate."

Qin Yi’s mouth twitched, forming an awkward smile.

"Let’s go! The mountains and waters will meet again. Maybe we’ll meet again someday."

...

The group walked out of the Mist Forest, heading toward the Netherworld Hall.

Jing Wuyan said his sister’s wedding was just a week later, so everyone was hurrying on their journey.

This is what Qin Yi disliked about the Primordial Lands; they were just too vast.

Finally, on the seventh day, the group arrived at Netherworld City.

Netherworld City, equivalent to the capital of the Northern Central State.

Jing Wuyan was the young master of the Netherworld Hall, so they traveled smoothly.

"This Netherworld City is quite bustling."

Netherworld City was large, equivalent to three average cities. The streets were bustling with traffic, a scene of prosperity.

Jing Wuyan said, "Because the Netherworld Hall is here, Netherworld City is the largest power hub in the Northern Central State, often representing safety. So people like to gather here."

"This whole journey, I’ve found there’s not much difference between the Northern and Southern Central States."

Yun Mengyao sneered, "They’re all places where humans live, what difference could there be? What a high-level question."

Qin Yi: "..."

This woman, does she feel uncomfortable if she doesn’t roast him?

Qin Yi asked Jing Wuyan, "Where is the Netherworld Hall?"

Jing Wuyan pointed forward, "Those buildings that look like the nouveau riche you see are the Netherworld Hall."

Qin Yi opened his mouth, because those staggered and connected buildings were vast, stretching endlessly.

Jing Wuyan sneered, "The Netherworld Hall takes up a third of the entire city. I really don’t understand why it has to be built so big, every time I visit my father, just walking takes half a day."

Qin Yi saw that this Netherworld Hall was just like the capital’s Imperial City back on Earth.

However, the buildings of the Netherworld Hall were all black, appearing cold and depressing.

"Your sister is equivalent to the Empire’s princess, a princess’s wedding should be a national celebration, right? Why doesn’t it feel lively?"

Qin Yi noticed that along the way, not a single person mentioned Jing Wuyan’s sister getting married.

The princess’s wedding should be a common topic during leisure moments.

Jing Wuyan was puzzled, "Maybe my sister’s wedding news hasn’t spread yet?"
