Live-in Son-in-law

"Brother Qin, have mercy."

Mo Wuji looked at Qin Yi with a face full of pleading.

Qin Yi shrugged, "Who told you to be greedy and want to drink and blame it on me? I'm not taking the fall for you."

"Fairy Bai, I really didn't force him to drink, he drank on his own, it has nothing to do with me."

Mo Wuji hung his head down, looking sheepish.

"You, come with me." Bai Jingqing gave Mo Wuji a cold look, then turned and walked away.

Mo Wuji looked at Qin Yi, "You've doomed me."

Qin Yi raised his eyebrows smugly.

"Brother Wang, there's a good show happening, let's go take a look."

Wang Zheng mumbled, "Are all the women from your place so assertive?"

"No! Women from our place are very particular about the three obediences and four virtues."

"But this Fairy Bai seems quite formidable. What's strange is that Mo Wuji doesn't seem to mind, he even seems very obedient, why is that?"

"Because he's a sucker." Qin Yi said with a smile, "You haven't understood what I mean by the three obediences and four virtues."

"What do you mean?"

"The three obediences are: never gentle, never considerate, never reasonable. The four virtues: cannot be hit, cannot be scolded, cannot be spoken against, cannot be provoked."

Wang Zheng was puzzled, "You call that the three obediences and four virtues? Women like that would be divorced back where I'm from."

"Divorced? The true three obediences and four virtues from outside are meant to restrain men; if they can't do it, those women are kind enough not to divorce them."

"Women from your place are really scary."

Qin Yi laughed, "We have good ones too, like my wife, as gentle as water and kind-hearted."

"Then you've really struck gold."

"Naturally." Qin Yi waved his hand, "Let's not talk about that, let's go see how Fairy Bai teaches old Mo a lesson."

The two sneaked behind them.

"Qin Yi, they've entered Fairy Bai's room, maybe we shouldn't go? It's rude to intrude." Wang Zheng said.

Qin Yi laughed, "Don't worry, whatever you think might happen in Fairy Bai's room, definitely won't."

The two tiptoed to Bai Jingqing's room door, where there wasn't any glass but wooden planks below and coarse cloth above.

Qin Yi saw a wisp of Purple Flames emerging, burning a hole through the coarse cloth, and peered inside with one eye closed.

"Holy crap..."

Originally thinking Mo Wuji was certainly going to be scolded by Bai Jingqing, but upon looking, Qin Yi revealed an incredulous expression.

"Stop sneaking around, come in." Bai Jingqing's voice came from inside.

Knowing that Bai Jingqing had heard him curse earlier, Qin Yi shrugged and opened the door.

In the center of the room was a small dining table with several delicate dishes, and Mo Wuji was gobbling them down with his head down.

"I really couldn't have guessed, Brother Qin even has a hobby of eavesdropping." Bai Jingqing teased.

Mo Wuji looked up at Qin Yi, his expression slightly smug.

"What are you looking at, eat your food."

"Oh!" Mo Wuji quickly put his head down and ate frantically.

Qin Yi said embarrassedly, "I was just worried about old Mo, after all, he did just openly say he liked me before."

Mo Wuji choked on a mouthful of food, eyes reddened from the strain.

"Who would've thought Fairy Bai cares so much for my old Mo and even prepared food for him, worrying that drinking on an empty stomach would hurt him? Speak up, since when did you start having designs on old Mo?"

Bai Jingqing blushed, "Stop talking nonsense, Zi Yuan gave me extra food this morning, I couldn't finish it and didn't want to waste it, so I let him eat it, like feeding a dog."

Poof!

Mo Wuji couldn't hold it this time and spat out a mouthful of food, almost choking himself.

Qin Yi couldn't hold back his laughter and gave a thumbs up, "Fairy Bai, I buy that explanation."

Bai Jingqing's cheeks flushed with rosy hues, though she tried to maintain a calm facade.

Qin Yi sidled up to Bai Jingqing, cast her a mischievous glance, and whispered, "Fairy Bai, honestly, when did you start fancying my old Mo?"

"Stop talking nonsense, nothing of the sort." Bai Jingqing glared at him, but a shy hint in her eyes could hardly be concealed.

"Alright, stop pretending. Old Mo is handsome, he is so skilled in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting even I admire him. His cultivation, I dare say, you can't find anyone among the younger generation of your Five Great Families to match him. It's understandable to fall for such a man. There's no fun in hiding it."

"I said there's nothing, I'm just afraid of wasting food."

Qin Yi squinted slightly, "Really? Well, I understand then."

Bai Jingqing noticed the slyness in Qin Yi's eyes and said, "What do you understand?"

"Understand that you don't like him then. Since it's like that, I'll help old Mo find another good marriage. Zi Yuan is steady and sensible, Hua Rui is pure and unsophisticated, Qing Lan is passionate and loyal, I'll choose one from them. I think they'd be willing. If not, I don't mind giving them a little push."

Bai Jingqing was wide-eyed, looking in disbelief at Qin Yi. He's too shameless, speaking so naturally about such underhanded things.

"I warn you, don't mess around."

"May I ask, Fairy Bai, in what capacity are you warning me?"

"I..." Bai Jingqing was at a loss for words.

"I warn you, just don't mess around, or else I... I won't be polite to you."

Qin Yi shrugged, mockingly, "Don't forget, you can't beat me."

Bai Jingqing gritted her teeth, making a noise like a Tibetan mastiff.

Qin Yi was about to press Bai Jingqing into revealing her feelings. Suddenly, an Armored Warrior ran over, "Captain, the Divine Mountain has appeared."

"What Divine Mountain?" Qin Yi asked curiously.

"You all are really lucky, come with me quickly." Wang Zheng said excitedly, then ran outside.

"Let's go, we should take a look too."

The three followed and ran out.

As they ran out from the ship's hold, they were enveloped in dazzling golden light.

About a hundred meters away from the ship, a golden mountain floated in mid-air, with golden rays of light piercing through the wind and fog, illuminating the surrounding hundreds of meters in shimmering gold.

"Brother Wang, is this the so-called Divine Mountain?" Qin Yi looked at Wang Zheng, whose expression was full of excitement.

Wang Zheng nodded excitedly, "You are truly blessed, to see the Divine Mountain just now."

Qin Yi asked curiously, "Does the Divine Mountain not appear often?"

"It's more than rare, I've only heard about it from the elders before, thought it was a legend, didn't expect it to be real."

"Is this your first time seeing it too?"

Wang Zheng nodded, excitedly, "Everyone who sees the Divine Mountain will have great opportunities. I never thought I could see the Divine Mountain in my lifetime, really too lucky. When I go back, they'll surely be envious, haha..."

Wang Zheng laughed like a fool, kneeling on the ground.

Hundreds of Armored Warriors also knelt down, beginning to worship the Divine Mountain.
