Three-Legged Stand

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

Li Qingjun and Ju Yunxiu simply couldn't bring themselves to say the shameless things Cheng Cheng and Meng Qingying did, nor could they imitate them by deliberately clinging to men and sticking their arms into certain places to show off. One was a refined young lady, and the other was a Righteous Path swordswoman; how could they possibly do such a thing...?

Before this, they had no intention of arguing with Meng Qingying. It was pointless, because they felt they weren't on the same page. If Qin Yi wanted to play around, they would let him. They would just be polite and go their separate ways.

While being hunted by the Witch God Sect, they had no intention of seeking refuge with Meng Qingying, nor did Meng Qingying have the ability to stand up to the Witch God Sect for them. They were only in this Netherworld Realm to borrow a path; once they could get out, they would fly far away. No one had their minds on this place, and no one had the patience to argue here.

Actually, Meng Qingying didn't intend to argue with them. She wasn't stupid; she knew very well that she couldn't afford to offend everyone around Qin Yi. Especially Ju Yunxiu, whose status was special. Even if she wasn't his woman, she was still his Senior Sister, and according to the rules of the underworld, she was a proper mentor. How could she be offended so easily? If things went wrong, she'd have to obediently serve him tea...

However, the little Witch, who had just become the Young Master after slaughtering everyone, was still in the midst of her power and was in the midst of her home turf. She was filled with demonic flames and had no intention of lowering herself to deal with them or being looked down upon.

It's not so much that she's being arrogant; it's just the way things are. Even with Qin Yi, she has to maintain a stubborn facade of "you are my Cauldron."

From this perspective, can Qin Yi be considered to have subdued Meng Qingying? Actually, no. Just like his relationship with Cheng Cheng, there's a world of difference between her willingness to cultivate with you and her willingness to wear the collar for you.

Of course, we can't compare them entirely to Cheng Cheng, since demons have a different sense of shame than humans, and they don't have any psychological barriers to playing tricks. But we can use them as a reference, as there are differences in their psychological level.

However, her attitude still provoked resistance from the Qingyun group.

"Whether he likes you the most is hard to say." Li Qingjun leaned against the table, poured herself a drink, and said leisurely, "If I were a man, and a Young Master of the Demon Sect offered himself up and carried me to a secret room in a sweet voice, I would also be very excited all night. Anyway, there's no responsibility, and this Young Master himself doesn't want anyone to know that he's been with someone else. It's like a lucky break. Thank you, Miss Meng, for your hospitality to my Husband."

Meng Qingying blinked her eyes.

Ju Yunxiu continued reading, head down. "Hmm... good nights are too short, it's okay to do it a few more times."

Meng Qingying switched to resting her chin on her other hand.

Suddenly I feel like Minghe is much weaker than them; all she does is stomp her feet.

"By the way, where is my junior brother now?" Ju Yunxiu said casually, "He's had enough fun, so I asked him when he's leaving."

Meng Qingying was both amused and exasperated.

I was actually going to answer that I was too tired from playing and hurt my back, but the things they said were really... the more they said that, the more low-class I seemed.

"Never mind." Meng Qingying poured a pot of wine for both of them. "You two are so nervous about having a Cauldron."

Both of them glanced at her sideways, as if to flirt and then run away. Why don't you take the bait?

Meng Qingying smiled and said, "It's not nice for guests and hosts to quarrel when they're guests here. Besides, you're using my place, so what's wrong with letting me show off a little? Do you really have to be so confrontational?"

"Wait a minute." Ju Yunxiu put down her book. "I remember that information about the Yin Realm can also be purchased outside. If this counts as a favor, then I won't read it."

"Well, these are just the basics of the Yin Realm, nothing confidential. If you want to collect them outside, you can indeed buy them; they'll only be worth some Spirit Stone, nothing more than a favor." Meng Qingying was still smiling, "Do you really not know what you used from me?"

The two were genuinely surprised, and Li Qingjun couldn't help but ask, "You're not just going to drink some of your wine, are you?"

Meng Qingying pointed to their eyes. "Even now, the only way you can see me is by using the Nether Qi contained in my blood to illuminate your eyes."

"!"

Critical hit!

The two women stared at each other, dumbfounded.

This... this is just a favor, nothing more to say.

Having defeated two opponents without a fight, Meng Qingying leaned back comfortably in her chair and said leisurely, "Even a Cauldron often has three legs, so this tripod isn't a problem. But since you're leaving, it shouldn't be a problem for him to spend more time with me these next couple of days, right?"

The two women's lips twitched for a long time before Li Qingjun finally sighed, "The problem is there's nothing wrong, but he shouldn't refuse to come out and see us. Where did he go?"

Speaking of this, Meng Qingying's expression became somewhat strange. "On the way back, he asked me what the significance of integrating the Netherworld Realm was. I said that at least the obvious significance was that we might find many ancient treasures, such as the Netherglow Jade Crystal or something. But as soon as he heard the name, he went crazy and went straight to my room to look at the confidential documents."

Li Qingjun pondered, "He seems to be looking for something, like Blood-Chilling Nether Marrow... This Netherglow Jade Crystal might be among them."

"Perhaps... This thing definitely existed in the ancient Netherworld Realm, but we don't know where it was. Now that the Netherworld Realm is divided into so many parts, it's even harder to find, more like looking for a needle in a haystack. If he really wants to find it, he'll probably have to help me integrate the Netherworld; looking at some data won't be of any use..."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Qin Yi appeared at the door, rubbing his head.

Meng Qingying got up and went to the door, glanced left and right like a thief, and then slammed the door shut.

Maintaining her airs as the Young Master wasn't easy for her. To ensure Qin Yi's unimpeded access to her room and guest rooms, she strictly forbade anyone from approaching the area. If an enemy were to sneak in, there would be a glaring vulnerability in her defenses...

"After reviewing your records, I learned that many sects once existed in the Netherworld Realm. The Netherglow Jade Crystal was once enshrined as a treasure by a sect called the Nether Emperor Sect. Later, the Netherworld disintegrated, and it's unknown whether this item was buried with the ruins of the Nether Emperor Sect or taken away by someone." Qin Yi sat down, took a sip of wine, and said solemnly, "No matter which one, it will be very difficult to find, but it's still a clue."

Li Qingjun asked curiously, "Is this thing very important to you? Like the Blood-Chilling Nether Marrow?"

"Hmm... It's very important, something I'm determined to get."

"Anyway, we're exploring the Netherworld, so these things are within our scope of investigation. If we find any clues, we'll keep an eye out for them for you," Meng Qingying said with a smile. "Speaking of which, would you like to participate in this?"

"We are being hunted down by the Witch God Sect, and it would be quite inconvenient for us to get involved in this, nor would it be good for you," Qin Yi said apologetically. "In fact, we have a specific destination in mind; going to the Netherworld Realm is just a way to leave."

"Actually, it's not a big deal. The Witch God Sect is familiar with Blood Netherworld but not with Netherworld. On our home turf, even if Qian Yuan comes after us, I won't let him get away with it."

"That would cause conflict between you and the Witch God Sect, which is not what you want." Qin Yi smiled. "I can't put you in a difficult position either."

Meng Qingying fell silent and sighed softly.

Qin Yi still cared for her in this way, but she felt a little ashamed.

At this moment, she had to be responsible for the sect and its major projects, and she really couldn't afford to incite conflict with the Demon Sect for the sake of an "outsider." If the Witch God Sect came knocking on her door at this time, she could at most stall the Witch God Sect and secretly arrange for Qin Yi to escape, but she couldn't possibly stubbornly protect him and start a war with the Witch God Sect.

If she wanted to avenge Qin Yi, all she could do was secretly sabotage the Witch God Sect a few times, without being discovered.

"Qin Yi..." Meng Qingying said in a low voice, "The Witch God Sect is very strong. They are not only strong in their own power, but also because they protect various demonic Rogue Cultivator and disciples of various sects who have committed crimes in City of Blood, their hidden power is also very large. Many people will continue to give face to the Witch God Sect even after leaving City of Blood. They have put a warrant for your arrest, so you will probably be in danger wherever you go."

Qin Yi chuckled nonchalantly, "In the world of martial arts, no one can have a smooth journey all the way. There will always be winters."

"I can't go with you..." Knowing that Qin Yi was only passing through and would be leaving soon, Meng Qingying suddenly felt a pang of sadness and reluctance. She sniffed and whispered, "Can you stay one more day? I'll ask around to see if anyone knows anything about the Nether Emperor Sect."

Qin Yi could only say, "Okay."

Meng Qingying smiled slightly, feeling a little happy.

Seeing her expression, Ju Yunxiu and Li Qingjun felt even more heartbroken.

It's not easy for anyone.
