Old Matters Brought Up Again

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

"In order to sleep with the Young Master, he actually knocked himself unconscious so that he could fall asleep quickly."

"Are you Sand Sculpture? Is this how you sleep with the Young Master?"

"I'm such Sand Sculpture, and you're such an idiot."

"I'm such Sand Sculpture, and you're such an idiot."

"... I, a Gang Jing, actually died at the hands of Sand Sculpture and a repeating stone."

"Waaaaah, how do men and women sleep? Don't they just lie down together?"

"Fart."

"Anyway, we pigeons don't lie down. You a bunch of asexual monsters understand even less, you're as stupid as Sand Sculpture..."

"Who called me?"

Outside, there was a noisy commotion. Qin Yi lay in the inner room, listening to the chatter drifting in from outside. In his hazy dream, Qin Yi was chatting idly in Book Friends Group.

The group has a cross -Crossdressing Group Owner, Sand Sculpture authors, fellow fans, and a goofball who tried to post erotic pictures but got gagged.

Qin Yi really wanted to see some erotic pictures, but the Sand Sculpture admin deleted them, and they were gone in a flash. What a pity...

Qin Yi opened his eyes and saw Ye Ling standing by the bed, having just put on her clothes.

"..." Qin Yi in horror, "What... what did you do?"

Ye Ling turned her head, even more terrified. "When... when did you wake up? What did you see?!"

After staring at each other for a while, Qin Yi cautiously asked, "Why were you getting dressed by my bedside? What did you do while I was asleep...?"

"This is my bed!" Ye Ling said, hands on her hips. "Can't I change in my own room? Who knew you'd wake up so quickly!"

Qin Yi was stunned for a moment before he could even focus on the small bed...

He's so small that when he stretches out his legs, his ankles stick out off the bed...

It seems that Ye Ling put her on her bed to rest, but why did she see a fleeting erotic image when she was clearly dizzy?

Liusu coldly said in her Sea of Consciousness, "You are a mature cultivator who has begun soul cultivation... Don't think that closing your eyes is enough."

Qin Yi: "!!!"

At this moment, Ye Ling softened again, stammering, "If you really want to see it, just... just tell me directly... I'll think about it, maybe it's not impossible... Why are you sneaking around..."

"Who wants to see you, you Bean Sprouts!" Qin Yi jumped up, sensing the Demon Fox Blood within his body, only to find it had dissipated. He sighed and asked, "Did I only sleep for a little while?"

"Yes, I just gave you your medicine, and you woke up as soon as I turned around to change my clothes."

Qin Yi looked at Ye Ling's clothes with a sense of amazement.

Ye Ling used to have absolutely no "taste." When she hung out with Li Qinglin, she dressed as a maid in a Royal Palace's mansion, except she had a black winged cloak to disguise her, which made her look much cooler than the average maid. In the few times they met later, she was still dressed in very ordinary combat attire, still in black, and in no way aesthetically pleasing.

This time, however, she wore a Princess dress. While the main colors remained black and purple, the material and appearance had been transformed from something plain and unsophisticated to something more luxurious. It featured tiny snake scales that shimmered with a subtle glow, as mysterious as a starry night. Thus, it possessed a dark, eerie, and noble air. With a flap of her wings and a sharp gaze, her demeanor instantly underwent a complete transformation, changing from a clumsy, timid snake into... the Young Master the Demon City.

Qin Yi was sizing her up, while Ye Ling stammered, "What... what are you looking at..."

Well, all the mystery and nobility have collapsed.

Qin Yi rubbed his swollen head. "No, you look very pretty dressed like this..."

Ye Ling looked a little embarrassed. "Really?"

Qin Yi asked, "Why have you suddenly started dressing up?"

"This is my battle suit; it has many uses," Ye Ling said. "Then my master said that I should wear this when I'm in the Demon City, because it gives me an air of authority."

"The clothes have an air of authority, but unfortunately the person is a bit dim-witted."

"I'm not stupid!"

"So, you're going out to become the Young Master because your master is healing?"

"That's about it..." Ye Ling scratched her head. "Actually, there's not much to manage about the Demon City. Master has a system that he brought from humans, and it works very well on its own. We just need to make the big decisions. Its biggest use is to keep order and prevent the people below from acting recklessly."

"These systems were all collected by spies?" Qin Yi asked curiously. "That fat rat selling wine could actually compile human systems?"

"I don't know then." Ye Ling suddenly jumped up. "Hey, you're familiar with that fat rat, aren't you?"

"Yeah, so what?"

"He's been arrested." Ye Ling pulled Qin Yi away and ran off. "This time, Master was purging the Remnants of the Two Kingdoms and discovered that the Xiao Kingdom had some secret dealings with humans. The destruction of Southern Li last time might be related to this. And these past two days, everyone has been thoroughly investigating all those who have contact with humans, with the Humble Origins family being the first to be targeted..."

Qin Yi, somewhat speechless, followed Ye Ling to the execution ground, where he saw Humble Origins bound and hung up, with a cauldron of boiling oil below. A small fox was behind Humble Origins, holding a torch, slowly approaching the rope suspending him.

"Will you tell or not?"

"I really don't know anything!"

"The town you were stationed in before was very close to Southern Li, and you yourself had dealings with Southern Li. You really didn't know anything about it?"

"I really didn't know. I was selling wine in Dragon Abyss City when Southern Li had that accident."

"That's also dereliction of duty. The king ordered you to observe human movements, and you didn't even know about such an important matter."

Humble Origins hung his head, realizing that this was indeed a dereliction of duty, and difficult to excuse. The Mortal World Intelligence he was in charge of was not as simple as Qin Yi had perceived; in reality, he controlled many "little mice" outside, collecting intelligence from all sides, and he was the overall person in charge.

But the matter concerning Southern Li was truly bizarre, secretive, and sudden; the little mice he had placed in various locations hadn't received a single clue. Regardless, this dereliction of duty cannot be denied.

Humble Origins sniffed and said helplessly, "Although this is somewhat dereliction of duty, it has not caused any loss to our Demon City. It doesn't mean I should be thrown into a boiling oil pot."

"That's not necessarily true. His Majesty said it depends on how much her beloved man values this matter..."

The Humble Origins cursed, "Qin Yi, you bastard! If I get blown up, I'll haunt you even as a ghost!"

Qin Yi and Ye Ling finally emerged from the corner, suppressing a laugh as he said, "That little fox is obviously trying to scare you."

"You try being tied to a vat of boiling oil and see what happens!" the Humble Origins retorted angrily. "You think this is a joke?"

Qin Yi then said, "Put him down. He's practically rendered himself fat."

The little fox chuckled, tossed the Humble Origins in front of Qin Yi, and said, "The boiling oil is scary, but dereliction of duty should also be punished. The king's intention is that if he can thoroughly investigate this matter and make amends, he will not only be spared punishment but also rewarded."

Qin Yi untied the ropes binding the Humble Origins and said slowly, "This matter... let's investigate it slowly, there's no rush."

The Humble Origins jumped up. "Look at this! Even the person involved has said so, yet you, the Queen, are more worried than the palace maids!"

The little foxes chuckled, their faces flushed as they looked at Qin Yi with a hint of amusement in their eyes.

Qin Yi's face flushed red, and he turned to leave, saying, "Throw this fat man into the pot."

"Hey, hey, hey, stop!" Humble Origins caught up, patting his chest and promising, "This isn't without clues. There are still remnants of the Xiao Kingdom. I guarantee I'll get to the bottom of this and give you an explanation!"

Qin Yi sighed, "Then thank you very much."

He knew that the Humble Origins wouldn't give him any explanation; Humble Origins wanted was an explanation for Cheng Cheng...

This matter actually has little to do with Cheng Cheng. Unification is already complete, so what does it have to do with her what Xiao Kingdom's previous entanglements with humanity were? And what does it matter to her whether Southern Li is destroyed or not?

Cheng Cheng wanted to investigate thoroughly for Qin Yi's sake, knowing that he would definitely take this matter very seriously.

Qin Yi felt a mix of emotions.

He didn't actually take this matter very seriously. He was even relieved that Southern Li been destroyed, so even though he knew there were some unresolved questions, such as why the Xiao King knew about the Startling Dragon Jade Pendant, which was a question that had been lingering in his mind, he was unwilling to think about it too much.

Perhaps Qing Jun will want to investigate in the future, and then we can accompany Qing Jun to investigate.

Unexpectedly, Cheng Cheng valued it even more, simply because Southern Li was related to him, Qin Yi.
