Qing Huang Alliance (Bonus Chapter for Alliance Leader Yan Siyu Weiyang)
The fastest update to Seeking the Dao in the Mortal World!
With the dust settled, the three of them, each carrying a Little Alpaca, boarded an airship and left Yingtian City.
This trip to Yingtian City was originally just a spur-of-the-moment decision by Qin Yi to see the new continent and its different exotic landscapes. However, it unexpectedly yielded some very special gains.
Knowing Senior Sister whereabouts, she might be nearby.
Obtaining the strange blood jade might be an important catalyst.
This made Cheng Cheng realize the deep-rooted wall between humans and demons. Although she successfully saved the Little Alpaca, Cheng Cheng was still in a bad mood.
It's normal. Ye Ling wasn't comfortable staying in the human world either, and Qin Yi was also uncomfortable when he first arrived in the Demon City. This kind of thing is probably beyond human control.
Unexpectedly, this led to a breakthrough in the relationship between Cheng Cheng and Li Qingjun.
She stopped deliberately arguing with Li Qingjun; on the contrary, her expression softened considerably.
Just like how Ye Ling was protected by Qin Yi in the mortal realm, and from then on, he kept calling her "brother" endlessly. And in Cheng Cheng's experiences in the mortal realm, besides Qin Yi, Li Qingjun was the first person who could save demons on an equal footing.
This emotion is unique and difficult for those who haven't experienced it to understand.
Qin Yi understood.
Qin Yi witnessed the splendor of the human world while in the Demon City, which is why he felt a special affinity for the Dumb Girl Cheng Cheng, and their feelings for each other arose from this. Even his feelings for the Demon King Chenghuang stemmed from her use of human culture.
They are essentially the same.
He just didn't expect it to happen here, which calmed down the hellish situation that had been giving him a splitting headache.
"It's inconvenient for us to carry this Little Alpaca around, and we're afraid we might hurt it," Chengcheng said. Cheng Cheng asked Li Qingjun, "Could we temporarily leave it at the Penglai Sword Pavilion? Would the people there want to kill it?"
Li Qingjun said, "Given my reputation, it's unlikely... In fact, many immortal sects raise cranes and white deer, and I still don't know what criteria they use to distinguish between immortal birds and Demon Beast..."
Qin Yi interjected, "I already mentioned the organizational structure issue. That Dead Crane still wants to argue with me about whether it's celestial or wild... This Grass Mud Horse is still young. If it's kept in a celestial sect for too long, won't it become a celestial beast?"
Cheng Cheng defended her child. "It's called an alpaca!"
"Anyway, in my case it's called..." Qin Yi didn't even finish the sentence before the two women glared at him angrily.
Qin Yi was drenched in cold sweat. "Fine, fine, you're right..."
The sound of Liusu echoed in my mind, "I think it'd be better if we let them fight it out; you might actually benefit from that."
"Bangbang, you've finally spoken!" Qin Yi, as if he'd found a kindred spirit. "What do you think about that?"
"Didn't I tell them to start tearing each other apart?"
"... That's not what I meant. I meant Blood Jade."
"Well, your judgment was correct..." It paused, then sighed, "You don't need my guidance on many things anymore."
Sensing the melancholy in Liusu's tone, Qin Yi immediately flattered her, saying, "It's all thanks to Bangbang's excellent guidance."
"Heh, licking me won't help," Liusu said leisurely. "When you can actually lick Wolf Tooth Club, that'll be your skill."
"..." None of them are easy to deal with, Qin Yi is under great pressure.
Liusu added, "What I'm more certain of than you is that it is indeed witchcraft, so we can basically rule out the possibility that this demonic path belongs to Meng Qingying."
Qin Yi let out a silent sigh.
Liusu said disdainfully, "So you're really afraid Meng Qingying will join the war?"
Qin Yi glanced at Cheng Cheng and Li Qingjun, who were whispering in front of him, and muttered, "It's better to see through things than to say them. This kind of chaotic situation is too scary."
"I find this very fun!"
"Not fun..."
Neither of them took the potential danger of the Blood Jade seriously. They were cultivating immortality and seeking fortune, yet they dared not even take this risk. What fortune could they possibly be looking for? They dared to carry fragments of a gate with them, let alone a broken piece of jade.
"Hey," Liusu suddenly asked, "If they asked you to choose only one, what would you do?"
"They don't. I've never felt that they have that kind of awareness." Qin Yi scratched his head. "It seems like out of all the people I know, I've never seen anyone with that kind of awareness."
"I never had that kind of idea in the first place. I told you long ago that a strong person can have as many as they want." Liusu said leisurely, "When Cheng Cheng wanted to take you into her harem, it was for the same reason. Because she is stronger than you, she is the queen and is entitled to have more companions, including you."
Qin Yi seemed to be deep in thought.
Liusu continued, "Later, it was simply that you conquered her step by step using the key to the Demon City. Although she was stronger in terms of raw power, she had already submitted to you mentally, as evidenced by the collar she was wearing. You think it's stupid to compete for love in the Demon City? No, not at all. It's necessary. Otherwise, you wouldn't be facing jealousy and rivalry right now, but something far more troublesome. This world is about striving for strength, and the strong possess everything—that's a theorem. Remember that, and don't ask similar stupid questions again."
Qin Yi hummed in agreement. "I understand. Then why did you ask such a question if I only had to choose one?"
"I'm curious," Liusu said with a smile, "I want to know what you'll choose."
"I won't make that choice, Bangbang, I want it all." Qin Yi said seriously, "As you said, if I can't get it because I'm not strong enough, then I'll become stronger."
"So you're admitting you're a big jerk?"
"A big pig's trotter is fine, it tastes so good when you gnaw on it!"
"Pooh!"
While they were communicating Divine Sense, Li Qingjun and Cheng Cheng were also whispering to each other in front of them.
"How could you, a dignified demon king, fall for this scumbag?"
"There's nothing we can do. The little fox is young and naive, and was deceived by the treacherous humans."
Li Qingjun twitched her lips.
Cheng Cheng said, "It's more like asking how Princess like you could have fallen for a country bumpkin?"
"There's nothing we can do. The little Princess is young and naive; she was deceived by the treacherous sorcerer."
The two exchanged a glance, then each looked away somewhat evasively.
After a long while, Cheng Cheng finally said, "Let's stop fighting, it's pointless."
Li Qingjun retorted angrily, "I never intended to fight. Who's acting like Sultry Fox in front of me?"
"Don't pretend to be a queen. I'm a king, after all."
"...boring!"
"Hey." Cheng Cheng lowered her voice, "I think we should team up and see if he dares to go looking for Senior Sister or Qing Cha or anything like that."
Li Qingjun became interested. "How should we join forces?"
"We all have to give him the cold shoulder and make him beg before we'll even bother with him. If we keep him hanging like this, he won't dare to run off to find his Senior Sister. At least he'll know that we'll be unhappy and that he can't do whatever he wants."
"That makes sense." Li Qingjun nodded in agreement. "Then it's a deal. At least before the competition, no one can touch him."
The two queens gracefully extended their palms, and with a "snap," they forged an alliance.
Qin Yi sat on the deck behind him, staring blankly. When did these two become so close? They even went so far as to exchange high-fives as a pledge. Are all women this fickle? A sense of foreboding rose in his heart; this high-five seemed to hint at something ominous...
"Whoosh!" A Sword Qi silently disappeared into the outer panel of the airship and vanished without a trace.
Qin Yi poked his head out from the bow of the ship and found himself back in the territory of the Penglai Sword Lunatics...
"Qing Jun." He subconsciously reached out to pat Li Qingjun's shoulder.
Li Qingjun suddenly shrank back. "Young Master, please have some self-respect."
Qin Yi was dumbfounded.
Turning to look at Cheng Cheng gazed at the sky.
"You Fairies, you must have stirred things up." Qin Yi gritted his teeth inwardly, but put on a nonchalant smile, "Um, I wanted to ask who the leader of your Sword Pavilion is this time? Is it Senior Li Duanxuan?"
"Master is in seclusion; it's a senior martial uncle." Li Qingjun asked curiously, "What are you going to do?"
Qin Yi sighed, "This was supposed to be what we wanted to do before meeting Chu Jiantian —to find out what the inside story of this competition was. But somehow, it went off on a tangent like this..."
Li Qingjun glared angrily. "So you're saying I've caused you trouble?"
"No, no, that's not what I meant at all!" Qin Yi wiped his sweat. "Take me to meet your team leader. I have something to ask him."
"Hmph." The airship landed, and Li Qingjun led the two onto the island.
Led by Pavilion Flower, no one on the island stopped them; everyone stared eagerly at the two new guests. The new White-Clad Celestial Maiden was so beautiful, on par with her junior sister, and even more alluring.
How could there be such a beautiful woman...? Some people even started planning where their children would establish their Lineage in an instant...
As for that man in the blue robe, who is he? He was following behind the two Fairy, but they ignored him.
Pah, you simp.
The disciples of Jian Ge stood tall with their chests out.
Li Qingjun led Qin Yi to a stone house. Two disciples outside the door bowed awkwardly. "Master is not receiving guests for the time being. Junior Sister, please stay for a few days."
Qin Yi frowned.
