Live-in Son-in-law

"The vastness of the Primordial is boundless." Yun Mengyao looked at Qin Yi and said solemnly, "Do you know how big the One Desolate is? It's at least ten times the size of your planet."

Everyone was shocked. The area of a single Desolate is ten times that of Earth, so wouldn't the Eight Desolates be endlessly vast?

Yun Mengyao spoke with a heavy tone: "Qin Yi, the Four Seas are the heavens, and the Eight Desolates are the earth. The Four Seas are dozens of times larger than the Eight Desolates. And the Netherworld Clan, they are the masters of the Nether Sea. You can't even begin to imagine the extent of the Netherworld Clan's power. The hope of obtaining the Resurrection Technique from them is slim."

All present were visibly shaken; the Netherworld Clan controlling the Nether Sea was a terrifying thought.

"Qin Yi, the horror of the Primordial is beyond imagination. I don't want to see you grieved and despondent, which is why I'm telling you this..."

"Speak not of the Primordial, whether it's the Nine Heavens or the Nine Nether, even if I have to turn the Primordial upside down, I will certainly save Yiyi, even if it's just a thread of hope." Qin Yi interrupted Yun Mengyao, his expression resolute.

"Husband, we will all support you," Xia Yanbing said seriously.

"Brother, I will also support you in saving sister Yiyi."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

As long as Qin Yi was willing to act, they would support him unconditionally.

Though Qin Yi hadn't voiced it, everyone knew the place Duan Yiyi held in his heart.

Qin Yi gently caressed the ice coffin and whispered, "Yiyi, wait for me. I will definitely bring you back to life. But you'll have to endure a long sleep for now."

Although the hope was faint, a mere thread of chance, it was like a ray of light piercing the darkness, allowing Qin Yi to see hope and gain something to strive for.

Duan Yiyi now had a chance to be resurrected, and everyone was quite pleased.

"Chairman Xue, I need to build an Ice Palace at the Duan Family's place," Qin Yi said.

Everyone understood that the Ice Palace was surely for Duan Yiyi.

"No problem, leave it to me," Xue Aoyu replied.

Qin Yi nodded slightly.

...

...

In the following days, Qin Yi stayed at the Duan Family to recuperate.

"Husband, I discussed it with Chairman Xue yesterday, and we decided to stay here temporarily and look out for each other."

Xue Aoyu said, "Qin Yi, you should stay. Bingbing is pregnant, and I happen to have some experience in this area, so I can help take care of things."

But Qin Yi slowly shook his head.

"No, your cultivation is too weak, lacking the power to protect yourselves. I must find a completely secure place for you."

The Azure Dragon rolled his eyes, "What's that supposed to mean? With me here, you think I can't ensure their safety?"

Qin Yi was slightly taken aback, "Old Dragon, what do you mean?"

"I find the scenery here in Yinfeng City quite nice and plan to stay for a while. What do you think of my idea?"

Qin Yi was overjoyed; if the Azure Dragon was there to shield them, everyone's safety would be guaranteed.

"Old Dragon, I think your idea is really great. On behalf of the people of Yinfeng City, I welcome you. Why not stay here and retire instead of just for a while? No need to travel back and forth with those old limbs."

The Azure Dragon's mouth twitched fiercely.

"Why do I dislike listening to you talk so much?"

Qin Yi grinned obsequiously, "I just meant you shouldn't stress yourself traveling back and forth."

"Old Dragon, don't you like playing chess? I'll have top-quality chessboards prepared for you, one each in gold, silver, copper, iron, and tin for you to enjoy. By the way, you're missing a chess partner. I think Xuanwu is a good match; you can call him to play chess with you every day."

"Almost forgot you like drinking tea. I'll prepare the finest tea leaves for you. I remember Old White Tiger also enjoys tea, right? You can invite him over to taste and discuss tea; just thinking about it is delightful."

"Does the Vermilion Bird Guardian God share any interests with you?"

The Azure Dragon gave Qin Yi a disdainful look, mouth twitching.

Everyone else was also dumbfounded; Qin Yi's intentions were just too blatant, almost as if spoken outright.

"Kid, you're planning to get all four of us Guardian Gods to play security detail for these little kids, aren't you?"

Qin Yi: "..."

"That's not how I like to hear it. I'm the type who respects the elderly and cherishes the young. I mean, with you all being so advanced in age and without children, without anyone to serve you, I'm just considering your comfort. Gathering you four to play chess, drink tea, and chat sounds great, doesn't it? And you just have to perceive everyone as being as bad as you."

"Old Dragon, this habit of falsely accusing people is no good. My good intentions coming out of your mouth turn into mischief; I've really become Lv Dongbin."

The Azure Dragon's mouth twitched, "Kid, if it weren't for your eyesight issues, I'd have pummeled you into a dumpling again."

"Old Dragon, can't you appreciate kindness? I'm considerate of you, yet you're cursing like those grannies taking over kids' basketball courts for dancing. If I weren't calm, someone with a short temper would've already beaten you up."

Everyone was utterly bewildered.

The elderly before them was one of Longxia's guardian deities. It's likely only Qin Yi dared to talk to him this way.

"Thank you very much," the Azure Dragon genuinely wanted to smack this kid away.

"You're welcome. By the way, you haven't told me what the Vermilion Bird likes yet, have you? Old Dragon, you're much less attractive than I am, but still passable. The Vermilion Bird is an old lady too, so why not sacrifice a little, use your old charms, and lure her over? Both of you are single anyway, why not make do together?"

Boom!

The Azure Dragon couldn't bear it anymore and kicked Qin Yi several hundred meters away.

Xia Yanbing and the others were startled, but when they saw Qin Yi's silhouette blur and return, they knew the Azure Dragon wasn't truly angry, which put them at ease.

Qin Yi stared intently at the Azure Dragon, his expression solemn, "Old Dragon, you're the first to kick me. Are you planning to let me kick you back in return, or maybe obediently invite the Xuanwu, White Tiger, and Vermilion Bird Guardian Gods?"

"Look over here, I'm right here! What's with the charming looks when you can't even see me?" The Azure Dragon showed a lot of disdain.

"Uh..."

Qin Yi was entirely embarrassed. He distinctly remembered the Azure Dragon being right in front of him, how did it end up behind him?

"Kid, don't delude yourself. Xuanwu, Vermilion Bird, and White Tiger are all guarding their respective areas. I'm staying here to ease your mind. The East is without a guardian now, and I am quite worried."

Suddenly, Qin Yi exploded with anger, "What the hell are you guarding? Useless! Those old bastards from Sha Chen even came to my doorstep, and you still have the cheek to mention this? You four blind old bats should just stay and retire in Yinfeng City. Leave the rest to me."

The Azure Dragon's old face fell, but he ultimately held back. He knew that although Qin Yi didn't say it, he harbored deep grudges against them for Sha Chen and his people sneaking into Longxia and killing Duan Yiyi.
