Live-in Son-in-law

Qin Yi couldn't help but frown slightly. Most of the people from the Five Great Families who entered the Sand Sea were already there, including those he had previously slain. But there were still a few people outside.

Because everyone was separated when they were transported in, no one could know where those people were scattered.

"Brother Qin, this is a problem. We don't have much time. If we can't find these people, it will be endless troubles. Even if one person gets out alive, we might be exposed." Mo Wuji was full of worry.

Qin Yi shook his head, "It's not as severe as you say. We haven't seen those people, so naturally, they don't know about our alliance either. But to be safe, we still need to find a way to locate these people and eliminate them."

"What? Will these people cause trouble for you?" Wang Zheng asked.

Qin Yi laughed, "Not just trouble, if they survive and become formidable, it will bring me a lethal disaster."

Wang Zheng squinted his eyes slightly and said, "You helped us before, so I will definitely repay you. In that case, we probably have to make a trip to the Sky Barrier area."

"Hmm? What do you mean?" Qin Yi asked curiously.

"There is an elder at Sky Barrier who has a very special ability, which is to communicate with birds. It has been said that within the chasm, no one's trace can escape this elder's observations."

Qin Yi was surprised and delighted, "There is such an extraordinary person, I must pay him a visit."

"Alright, for the next few days, you can stay on the ship. I'm about to return to the Sky Barrier to rest and will take you with me. If you go by yourselves, you might get lost here and not find the place."

"Not might, definitely won't find it." Qin Yi smiled.

Wang Zheng laughed heartily, "Alright, leave those who entered the Sand Sea to us, I guarantee to find them and ensure they can't leave the Sand Sea alive."

"Thank you! But I should remind you, one of them is named Lei Bao, whose cultivation is on par with the powerful figure you previously hunted, Fang Ran. Have your people be careful."

Wang Zheng nodded and gestured, and an armored warrior ran over.

"Order all sand ships immediately to pursue and kill the strangers who entered the Sand Sea with full force."

"Yes."

The armored warrior departed with the order.

Before long, a loud horn sounded on the big ship, which is how the sand ships signal each other in the Sand Sea.

...

...

In the following two days, Qin Yi and the others spent their time on the big ship.

It had been two days and they still hadn't reached the place, showcasing the vastness of the Sand Sea.

Wang Zheng and the others must have their own ways to find directions, but since it's confidential, Qin Yi didn't ask.

"Brother Qin, we only have over ten days left." Mo Wuji was a bit worried, fearing the time wouldn't be enough.

Qin Yi smiled, "Relax, worrying about it now is useless. Having time to worry here with me would be better spent accompanying your fellow disciple, Bai Jingqing. Your rooms are next to each other, which I had Brother Wang arrange specifically so you could slip into her room at night to have a heart-to-heart talk."

Mo Wuji's face flushed red.

"Brother Qin, a gentleman knows what to do and not do. I cannot do such a thing."

Qin Yi looked at him quizzically, "I just suggested going to have a heart-to-heart talk to build feelings. What are you thinking about?"

"Oh, I got it. Did you think having your rooms next to each other was for 'stealing fragrance and jade'?"

"No, no…" Mo Wuji shook his hands frantically.

Qin Yi teasingly said, "Alright, stop pretending, we're all men here. You're thirty and still a virgin, it's normal to let your mind wander. Your Junior Sister Bai is a woman like that, beautiful, with high cultivation, naturally attracting people. If you're tempted by her body, that's even more normal, it proves you're not into me."

Mo Wuji awkwardly wanted to find a hole to crawl into and pleaded, "Brother Qin, it was really a slip of the tongue last time. Please stop teasing me about it."

"Gentlemen, good morning. Care for a drink?"

Just as Qin Yi was about to tease Mo Wuji a bit more, he saw Wang Zheng coming over with three jugs of wine.

Qin Yi and Mo Wuji exchanged a wry smile, this Wang Zheng was really too fond of drinking. They've been drinking from morning till night, from night till morning, almost becoming drunkards.

"Brother Wang, it's morning." Qin Yi laughed.

Wang Zheng glared with leopard-like eyes, "What's wrong with morning? Who says you can't drink in the morning? A man should drink in big gulps, eat meat in large bites. The enemy could appear at any time, living day by day, who knows if there will be a head to drink with tomorrow. So, drink more while alive, so there's no regret when dead."

Qin Yi rolled his eyes, "Hearing your ominous words first thing in the morning, this wine feels like parting wine, who could drink it?"

Wang Zheng, without much ado, tossed the wine jugs to Qin Yi and Mo Wuji.

"There are no such taboos, a man's life is expendable. Even if I die now, I won't fail my loved ones outside the Sand Sea, won't fail my mission, won't fail my ancestors' teachings."

"We are all straightforward folks, don't understand big principles, just know when we meet someone we like, we'll drink more."

As he said this, he opened the mud seal of the wine jug and took several gulps with his head tilted back.

Qin Yi helplessly shook his head, also opened the mud seal, and smiled, "Heroes often come from butchers, unfeeling are usually scholars. I also don't like those hypocritical people with a civilized appearance."

He patted Mo Wuji, "Don't think too much, I wasn't talking about you."

Mo Wuji hadn't thought much about it until Qin Yi patted him, making him instantly awkward. Are you telling me to think more or not think more?

Qin Yi saw Mo Wuji's awkward face and couldn't help but laugh, "Let's drink."

Mo Wuji shook his head with a helpless smile, also opened the mud seal.

The three men, early in the morning, guzzling from the wine jugs looked spirited. But in Bai Jingqing's eyes, walking towards them, they appeared as hopeless alcoholics.

"Junior Sister Bai, good morning!" Mo Wuji hurriedly put down the wine jug, nodding and bowing as he greeted her, looking timid.

"Drinking like this early in the morning, aren't you worried about harming your body?" Bai Jingqing said indifferently.

Mo Wuji was excited, was Junior Sister Bai concerned about him? Excited, he pointed at Qin Yi, "Brother Qin forced me to drink."

Qin Yi: "..."

Damn, this bastard treats me like underwear, having to cover his every mess?

Mo Wuji looked at Qin Yi pleadingly, begging him to bear the blame.

Qin Yi shook his head helplessly, walked up to Wang Zheng with the wine jug, clinked it, and disdainfully said, "Brother Wang, remember this, being a 'licking dog' has no future, remember that."

"What is a 'licking dog'?" Wang Zheng asked, confused as he hadn't heard this term before.

Qin Yi turned and pointed at Mo Wuji disdainfully, "See that? Someone who fawns all over in front of a woman, like Old Mo, that's called a 'licking dog.'"

Wang Zheng suddenly realized, "So 'licking dog' means being hen-pecked. I understand now."

"Brother Wang still didn't get it, being hen-pecked at least requires a wife. Old Mo isn't even at that stage yet to talk about being hen-pecked." Qin Yi teased.
