The Unpredictable Witch's Heart

The fastest update to Seeking the Dao in the Mortal World!

The next moment, Qin Yi's large hand reached in without saying a word.

Meng Qingying's eyes widened; she was completely stunned.

Just a moment ago, he was all refusing, full of righteous indignation, looking like a true gentleman, and even blushing with embarrassment!

I just followed the usual routine, made a casual remark, and thought it would be interesting to see him continue to be at a loss for what to do. He would probably pretend to be a gentleman and be able to take a joke.

I never imagined he would actually touch me!

Really! Touch!

"I'm not a petty person who takes advantage of others' misfortunes, but that doesn't mean I'm a saint!" Qin Yi gritted his teeth. "You vixens, do you really think I'm a eunuch or something? I'm not the one who's suffering, yet you provoke me like this, do you really think I wouldn't dare?"

Meng Qingying tensed up, holding her breath until her cheeks puffed out before finally deflating. Stiffly, she asked, "W-what are you going to do?"

Qin Yi leaned closer, looking into her eyes. "What do you think I'm going to do?"

Being so close, feeling an overwhelming sense of powerlessness, a flicker of panic flashed in Meng Qingying's eyes.

This feeling is strange. It's not that she's too afraid of him doing that, but rather she feels powerless and vulnerable, panicked that everything is controlled by someone else, and that she can't resist whatever he wants... This feeling makes her very uncomfortable and scared.

Qin Yi chuckled, "Even though your Law Power is sealed and your life is in my hands, you always act so provocative, your words full of implications... Shouldn't you know now that playing with fire will get you burned?"

Meng Qingying bit her lower lip, the panic in her eyes gradually subsided, replaced by a seductive gaze, and said softly, "Since life and death are in your hands, shouldn't you honestly serve me and earn my favor? I never forced you just now; I was clearly explaining tremblingly, begging for your understanding."

Qin Yi's eyes flickered, and he said in a low voice, "There's no need for that."

Perhaps it wasn't trepidation, but rather that she channeled her inexplicable excitement in this direction, unsure whether she was trying to convince Qin Yi or herself.

However, it must be admitted that her self-defense did have an effect; at least Qin Yi's initial dislike for her diminished considerably.

Qin Yi didn't bother to discern her True Intention. He deliberately moved his hand slightly, and Meng Qingying looked at him, her face flushed crimson. She bit her lower lip and asked, "Does it feel good?"

Qin Yi stood up, a silk handkerchief already in his hand. He brought it to his nose and sniffed it lightly, then chuckled, "What do you think I'm going to do? You were the one who called me to come and get this."

After he left, Meng Qingying had a feeling of "I knew it".

He's not really that kind of person after all... He was probably just provoked and wanted to deliberately show that he's not a saint, to say something like "Don't mess with me."

Actually, he's a bit childish.

But once he left, the oppressive and powerless feeling dissipated considerably, and Meng Qingying breathed a sigh of relief, refraining from further reckless advances. Seeing Qin Yi's feigned nonchalance as he sniffed the silk scarf, her gaze was complex, and she sighed softly, "Did you smell something familiar?"

Qin Yi was stunned for a moment. "Isn't it your aura?"

Meng Qingying smiled faintly, "You're quite familiar with my aura now, aren't you? More so than Minghe?"

Qin Yi: "..."

Meng Qingying said calmly, "That's Minghe's Daoist Scarf."

Qin Yi's eyes widened.

"Minghe was fighting the Ancient Corpse when two Law Treasure were knocked off at the entrance of the Herb Garden behind... I don't know what the battle situation was like at the time, but you let such powerful Law Treasure fall without retrieving them. Anyway, I picked them up as soon as I entered the door."

Qin Yi pursed his lips, looked down at the Daoist Scarf, and first flashed through his mind the scene of Minghe raising the Ancient Corpse Daoist Scarf and being blasted away by the ancient corpse with a punch, and then he saw her with her long hair disheveled, lying in his arms.

A tenderness involuntarily crept into his eyes.

As Meng Qingying looked at it, she suddenly felt a little uncomfortable and couldn't help but blurt out, "Is this Daoist Scarf and handkerchief together comfortable?"

Qin Yi looked somewhat embarrassed. "That handkerchief... I don't have any other Flying Magical Artifact yet, I'll use it for now and return it to you later..."

"You don't need to return it, especially since you already have this Daoist Scarf."

"..."

"This Daoist Scarf is a treasure for soaring through the clouds, useful for both offense and defense, and incredibly sharp." Meng Qingying curled her lip. "It's especially effective for withstanding the Small Tribulation when breaking through to the soaring cloud realm. Wouldn't it be about the same as your Ghost Cry Jade?"

Qin Yi hesitated. What he mainly wanted was for Liusu's soul, not Law Treasure to help Teng Yun break through. Meng Qingying might have misunderstood. Of course, this belonged to Minghe, and he definitely had to take it back; he would have to return it to Minghe in the future, so he couldn't refuse.

Seeing his expression, Meng Qingying said calmly, "Minghe lost one more thing."

Qin Yi immediately recalled the Buddhist pagoda Law Treasure, which had also been knocked down by the Ancient Corpse.

This thing was also in Meng Qingying's arms... Her bodice had a lining embroidered on the chest area, and the lining was a self-contained space, just like the ring space. It did not affect the feel of the bodice when worn, but the treasures in the space had some aura that could protect the body, which was quite effective.

This pagoda is used to ward off evil spirits. It can be used to resist inner demons when breaking through to the clouds, and it also has some use in soul cultivation.

It's very likely that these two items were originally prepared by Minghe herself for breaking through to the Cloud Realm, but they ended up going to Meng Qingying... Otherwise, given her wealth, breaking through to the Cloud Realm probably wouldn't have been so easy for her, so it's not necessarily true that she suffered a great loss in that battle.

"It's a bargain for me, but that was my trophy. Now you're the one who got a bargain." Meng Qingying saw what he meant and turned her head away. "Go ahead and touch it. I've already been touched by the dog, so it won't make a difference if I touch it again."

Qin Yi was both amused and exasperated. "You're insulting me again? Are you courting death again?"

"So what if I scolded you? You only dared to touch me, how dare you do more?"

"What the hell..."

That damn woman, one minute she's all soft and yielding, the next she's all serious, and then she's all provocative again. I have no idea how her mood changes so wildly...

Actually, the texture is really nice... but it's indescribable now.

Qin Yi looked at his palm. Meng Qingying clearly turned her head away from him, but she was secretly observing him out of the corner of her eye.

A dialogue is taking place within Qin Yi's Sea of Consciousness.

"Bangbang, have I become a bad person? I really want to mess with her, what should I do?"

"Go for it! Let her pretend. She can pretend even better than me. Her Law Power is sealed and she's still so arrogant. Pah!"

"Asking you was a mistake." Qin Yi was both annoyed and amused, but his impulse was suppressed by Liusu's exaggerated and silly conversation. He simply reached into Meng Qingying's arms.

Once the palm touches the interlayer, Divine Sense can see what's inside. The reason I only took out the silk scarf before was because... my mind was truly distracted by the sensation in my hand.

That spot was the most dangerous spot. Once you pressed it, your mind would wander, and you wouldn't care what was inside. Taking out the silk scarf was a completely subconscious choice.

The same thing happened at this moment. As Qin Yi's palm touched her, Meng Qingying's face turned crimson, and Qin Yi's palm was reluctant to leave.

Time stood still for a moment.

No one knows whether it was to take the pagoda or simply to reach out.

Meng Qingying slowly raised her hand and placed it on the back of his hand, whispering, "If you want to take this pagoda, you have to give me something in exchange, otherwise I'll be at a huge loss."

Qin Yi did not answer immediately.

Meng Qingying continued, "Of course, even my people are now at your mercy... Don't even mention taking the pagoda, I can't do anything even if you want my people... It all depends on whether the Qin Yi I know is still the same gentleman."

Qin Yi could only ask, "What do you want?"

"Give me the Lingering Bell you obtained from the Great Joy Temple."

So that's what it is. Qin Yi didn't want that clock at all, but upon hearing this, he took it out without saying a word and placed it next to Meng Qingying.

When the bell is not activated by magic, it is just a small bronze bell about the size of a palm. Meng Qingying picked it up casually and looked it over.

Qin Yi hadn't even withdrawn his hand yet, but she didn't say anything more.
