His Peach Blossoms
The fastest update to Seeking the Dao in the Mortal World!
Just as he was thinking this, he saw Qin Yi pick up the unconscious Chenghuang and rest its head on his shoulder.
Cheng Cheng, standing to the side, asked with a half-smile, "What are you going to do?"
Qin Yi retorted irritably, "Whatever I'm going to do is for you, not for a mere Chenghuang!"
As he spoke, he took out a pill and carefully put it into Chenghuang's mouth.
Cheng Cheng tilted her head to watch his actions, then suddenly said, "Hey, if it can't swallow it and rolls out, are you going to feed it mouth-to-mouth?"
"Isn't that what you're here for? Can't you feed it yourself?" Qin Yi said expressionlessly. "Besides, this is Immortal Pill that dissolves instantly upon entering the mouth. Making it sit up is just to facilitate the downward flow of the medicinal power."
Cheng Cheng asked, "For saving your heart?"
"Hmm." Qin Yi said, "Let's revive the heart first, otherwise I'm afraid it will die before I can finish refining the pill."
"That won't happen," Cheng Cheng said. "The earth's veins here protect it, so it won't deplete so easily."
"And what about you?" Qin Yi turned to her. "Your divided soul is weak, like a flickering candle. Your body is clearly in a state of serious illness. Why don't you take medicine?"
"It's a bit complicated. A human body with a demon's soul—no one can refine this kind of pill right now. I myself have no Law Power; I have the knowledge but can't refine it..."
Qin Yi then Lower Vehicle Huang and sat down in front of her.
Cheng Cheng straightened her chest.
Qin Yi felt a surging wave before him, making him dizzy, and couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing?"
Cheng Cheng grinned, "Didn't you need to touch it to make a diagnosis?"
Qin Yi, expressionless, reached out and touched Chenghuang.
Cheng Cheng shuddered as if electrocuted, her cheeks flushing red. "You..."
"Don't think I can't do anything about your flirting. I can pet a puppy without any psychological barrier."
"You..."
Qin Yi touched Chenghuang again.
Cheng Cheng was panting, biting her lower lip and puffing out her chest without making a sound, as if she was going to keep up with him.
Qin Yi moved his hand down and slapped Chenghuang's buttocks.
Cheng Cheng clutched her back, nearly jumping up. "Qin Yi!"
"Lie down obediently and let me examine you." Qin Yi was quite satisfied with his quick thinking, "You little punk, I can't handle you!"
Cheng Cheng was both amused and exasperated, but her eyes became even more alluring. She slowly lay down and whispered, "I'm all set. Hmm, I've even washed myself."
Qin Yi took a deep breath.
If this guy had been a shut-in back in the day, he probably would have gotten a nosebleed!
When Meng Qingying acts seductively, she's not actually alluring; she's not that type. Even if she tries to act seductively, she doesn't quite pull it off. However, because of her natural beauty, she's alluring even when she's not being seductive, and every pose she takes is captivating.
Cheng Cheng is truly alluring. Every smile, every expression, every word she utters can stir your most natural desires. This is due to her innate talent. Even if she has no Law Power and doesn't use any seductive skills, she can still move people's hearts and penetrate their souls.
Fortunately, Qin Yi is no longer a novice.
He reached out his hand expressionlessly and touched Cheng Cheng's forehead.
As Cheng Cheng said, the combination of a demon's soul and a human body is quite complex. Elixirs are only effective when applied correctly; the physical structures and soul forms of humans and demons are different. The elixirs he used to heal himself weren't very effective on Ye Ling, requiring separate refining. Such medicines that simultaneously treat both human Demon Soul might have some conflicting effects, making them difficult for ordinary Alchemist to refine.
However, in this specific case, it wasn't that complicated, because Cheng Cheng was physically unharmed. Her "illness" was simply a result of her weak soul dragging down her body, and in essence, it was because her body was too weak.
Qin Yi pondered for a moment, then walked to the Pill Furnace in the corner of the room. He took out several portions of medicinal herbs, mixed them in proportion, and put them into the furnace. Without using the Earth Fire here, he activated his own sacrificial fire to begin the refining process.
Cheng Cheng leaned against the bedside, watching his back, her feelings somewhat complicated.
After being away for so long, he has really grown a lot.
Whether it's ability or character.
But my true nature has never changed.
Cheng Cheng could see that the Peach Blossom Miasma surrounding him was frighteningly thick. Perhaps Qin Yi really wasn't a lecherous person, so why did he have such a strong peach blossom aura? Even someone as capable as Ju Yunxiu might not be able to figure it out.
Cheng Cheng understood. She understood when Qin Yi shielded her with his own body without asking for anything in return, and when he genuinely cared for Ye Ling as if she were his own sister.
The Immortal Dao immortality is inherently selfish. The word "transcendence" can be described in an unpleasant way as selfishness. Therefore, even the Righteous Path way of thinking often has some aspects that Qin Yi finds disagreeable.
Qin Yi's soul is, if not unique, one of the rarest in this world.
Moreover, he is not extreme, he is very calm and tolerant, and he can find common ground while respecting differences, regardless of whether the enemy is good or evil or monster.
He has his own charm, like a warm candle lit on a cold, desolate path, attracting lonely travelers who hesitate to move forward.
Cheng Cheng was also a member of the Peach Blossom Clan, something she'd known since asking the mirror back then. The more someone acted like a "foolishly self-righteous, Heaven-Supporting Earth-Trampling man" in front of her, the more Cheng Cheng liked him. The back view that had touched her heart back then, which she thought might have faded on the path to immortality, had never changed.
Actually, Ye Ling is also a member of the Peach Blossom lineage, but that foolish snake didn't realize it. The master and disciple... are actually rivals in love.
Qin Yi thought Cheng Cheng was teasing him maliciously, and tried various ways to deal with it... Only Cheng Cheng herself knew that the so-called teasing was at least 70% real.
As for not being quite right... because feelings aren't everything, and she has her own rationality.
Just as Qin Yi clearly understood, she would not cancel the plan to attack the human world because of her feelings for him or because of his face. How could the general trend of the Demon Race be changed because of personal feelings?
Only by adding the life-saving significance of the elixir could she be forced to make a vow.
There's also a lot of reason...
For example, the previous generation's union between a human and a transvestite resulted in her, causing a series of problems that remain unresolved to this day. If she were to find another human husband, further diluting the bloodline, the consequences would be even more troublesome.
Besides, Qin Yi doesn't belong to the Demon City and could leave at any time. She, a Demon Queen, wouldn't become a waiting-for-her-husband statue.
Unless... he's willing to stay.
If he's willing... those troubles aren't unsolvable, they can be resolved gradually...
Cheng Cheng pondered, her mind wandered, her cheeks growing increasingly red, and she seemed to be lost in thought about something else entirely.
With a "bang," the furnace lid jumped open, and several pills floated out. Cheng Cheng came to her senses and saw Qin Yi sitting beside her with the pills.
His previous stern expression was gone, replaced by a gentle smile, "This pill will definitely be useful to you. At least you won't be so weak anymore, you can run and jump around on your own, and you won't be noticed when you go outside. As for the pill for your main body, it may require some treasures to complement it. We'll take it slowly."
Cheng Cheng pouted slightly. "Feed me."
"... Your hand isn't injured."
"You feed the Chenghuang, why don't you feed me?"
"Isn't that yourself?"
"Can't I be jealous of myself?" Cheng Cheng said matter-of-factly. "If you split yourself in two, I'd go and spend all my time with him, and see how you feel."
Qin Yi blurted out, "I'll beat him to death!"
The words had barely left his mouth when he realized he'd misspoke. What was his relationship with Cheng Cheng, and what reason did he have to be jealous?
Cheng Cheng looked at him with a half-smile, and said in a sweet voice again, "Hey me."
Qin Yi's face flushed slightly, and he no longer had the confidence to refuse. So he leaned over and helped Cheng Cheng up, just as he had done with Chenghuang, letting her head rest on his shoulder.
Cheng Cheng's eyes crinkled with laughter, making her look like a little fox.
