First Down

Yu Shang was still struggling.

Her strength is immense. With Qin Yi currently lacking Law Power, he can't use the Chaos Power or the Law, Heaven, Image, Earth. Purely in terms of Martial Cultivation strength, Yu Shang is definitely stronger than Qin Yi.

After all, there was a difference in their cultivation levels; the other person was already at the late stage, while Qin Yi was only at the third level. It was only thanks to the ferocity of the Wolf Tooth Club that they barely managed to stay even, and in the end, it was only through the soul-shaking effect of the Liusu that they gained the upper hand.

At this moment, their limbs were connected, and they struggled fiercely. Qin Yi really felt that he couldn't hold them down anymore.

There's no romantic flair here; this is a life-or-death battle. Nobody's hormones are focused on that kind of thing, so there's no feeling whatsoever.

Strangely, Liusu was supposed to make another move, but she didn't move for a long time. Qin Yi urgently transmitted his voice. "Bang Bang?"

Liusu said, "I'm suppressing the Law Treasure on her forehead... You'll have to figure out a way yourself."

I see.

"Can I just run headfirst into it?"

"No... it's dangerous."

After just two sentences of exchange, Qin Yi already felt he couldn't hold back any longer.

The girl in front of him was flushed red, her expression furious, and her eyes seemed to want to devour him. Qin Yi suspected that she might be unleashing potential that she didn't usually have.

What are you doing, girl? Do you think you're being taken advantage of?

This is a life-or-death battle, you know!

Forget it, I'll call the dog for help.

Just as Qin Yi was about to speak, Yu Shang spat out a mouthful of phlegm carrying a strong, sharp Gang Qi, which flew straight at Qin Yi's face.

This isn't spitting; this can kill someone!

Qin Yi quickly turned his head to avoid it, but was furious. Seeing her snow-white neck right in front of him, he took a bite.

Yu Shang let out a muffled groan, her eyes widening and her body stiffening.

The feet that were tucked in Qin Yi's arms began to kick wildly, clearly at a loss.

As a result, Qin Yi felt even more pressured; the more he bit, the less he could control her. His left hand was also flailing about, futilely trying to grab her feet, but their hands and feet were misaligned and couldn't make contact at all.

"..." Liusu was speechless. This was such an awkward pose. Qin Yi, who had countless admirers, had probably never encountered anything like this before...

Qin Yi's hands were flailing about when he suddenly touched something that felt like down.

It was the feathers on Yu Shang's back, but he didn't know where it touched, since he couldn't see it. Qin Yi grabbed a tuft of downy feathers and tugged at it.

Yu Shang's struggles suddenly stopped.

His whole body went limp and powerless, and even the Moon Blade he was holding with his arms crossed over the Wolf Tooth Club slowly loosened.

That's practically... a death sentence; she died the moment the Wolf Tooth Club came crashing down...

Qin Yi loosened his teeth in surprise.

Bloodstains had been bitten on her neck.

Qin Yi had no time to look; instead, he leaned back slightly to observe her expression.

Her eyes were glazed over, and she was completely exhausted. She leaned against the wall, panting, and was only kept from collapsing by Qin Yi's support.

Is it really necessary? It's just a tuft of feathers... Qin Yi looked down at the feather in her hand. It was a very beautiful feather, very small and full of down, completely different from the other feathers on her body.

Liusu's voice finally came. "The Winged Human Race, Chu Rong..."

"What does that mean?"

"Perhaps it was the first time it was plucked. I'm not Winged Human Race, so how would I know about their physical experiences? Generally speaking, this is a feather of betrothal among the Winged Human Race. A girl will give it to a man she has taken a fancy to as Seeking marriage gift. If a man is single for many years and wants to find a partner, he will hide this feather in a random place. Whoever finds it by chance is his destined one, and they will stay together forever, regardless of whether they know each other or not."

Qin Yi stared wide-eyed at the dog. "What about those that were forcibly pulled out?"

Liusu suppressed a laugh, "It's obvious, a sign that I'll hunt you down to the ends of the earth."

Qin Yi looked down at Yu Shang speechlessly.

Can't you give me some protagonist treatment? Don't treat me like this...

As a result, Yu Shang's eyes were filled with hatred and a little despair.

Liusu emerged from the stick, crossed her arms, and admired Yu Shang's expression. She said leisurely, "In ancient times, if such a situation occurred, the general practice was to kill the person to avoid endless trouble later."

Qin Yi finally understood the source of the despair in Yu Shang's eyes. In the case of Savage Wilderness civilizations, such a situation might indeed occur—it was the most straightforward one.

He was silent for a moment, then released Yu Shang's legs and took three steps back. "Alright, woman, I don't do that kind of thing. Don't look at me like that."

Yu Shang looked at the strand of down with some surprise in her eyes and remained silent.

Qin Yi weighed the tuft of hair in his hand, then suddenly reached out and pressed on her pressure point. "If it only went soft when you were plucking the hair, you're almost back to normal now, right?"

The power that Yu Shang had just gathered was instantly locked away. She angrily threw the Moon Blade to the ground and said in a hoarse voice, "Just tell me what you want to do with me. No need to pretend."

"Tch." Qin Yi crossed his arms. "I have a bunch of beautiful wives at home, each one hundreds of times prettier than you. Look in the mirror, will you?"

Yu Shang was so angry that she trembled all over.

Qin Yi tossed Chu Rong at her and said calmly, "I've subdued you because you're my enemy. I haven't figured out how to deal with you yet... maybe my dog would be better off swallowing you?"

Yu Shang took Chu Rong and remained silent.

Yu Shang was unaware that Qin Yi had other reasons for not wanting to kill her. The main reason was the issue of the Winged Human Race; he didn't want to create such a huge enmity and completely block her path. Even Great Devil King like Liusu hadn't said she wanted to kill her, clearly indicating that it too was somewhat conflicted...

There's a Jianmu tree in the middle of the sea... Qin Yi and Liusu exchanged a glance, both feeling a bit of annoyance.

A Taotie's voice echoed from the mountaintop, "This Heartless God is quite interesting, want to come and take a look?"

Qin Yi grabbed Yu Shang and leaped into the air.

Taotie squatted on the edge of the cliff, grinning, and said, "You guys really fought hard."

"What kind of description is this..." Qin Yi said irritably, "What's the situation with Heartless God?"

"Come with me." Taotie led Qin Yi into the cave, where Heartless God was lying there, barely breathing. The dog had turned over his chest and found all his bulging hearts scattered on the ground. His chest was completely pierced through, truly a Pierced Chest Person.

Qin Yi felt nauseous looking at the pile of beating hearts on the floor and said, "Why are you looking at this?"

Taotie laughed and pointed to the center of a pile of hearts, where two worm-like things were wriggling.

Liusu said, "A Gu worm?"

Taotie laughed and said, "Yes, this is Concentric Heart Gu. It has been refined for a while, and it can actually be used now."

Qin Yi squatted down and patted Heartless God's head. "With your attitude, who are you trying to trick with the Concentric Heart Gu?"

Heartless God, already delirious from the torment of Taotie, mumbled, "You can play with the Yu Shang..."

Yu Shang changed instantly.

Qin Yi gave her a half-smile and said, "So you were capturing those pairs of creature hearts to deal with Yu Shang from beginning to end, and she was just watching?"

Heartless God mumbled in a daze, "Aren't the Winged Human Race just idiots...?"

"Since you're almost finished refining your Concentric Heart Gu, it wouldn't be a big deal for us to sabotage you. Why did you still come to ambush me?"

"You possess the Dragon Might; take your heart, and perhaps you can command many races..."

Qin Yi almost burst out laughing, "Are there any Winged Human Race among them?"

"Yes..."

"You killed me just to play with this stupid bird, and then this stupid bird helped you fight me?"

"Hehe..." Heartless God chuckled foolishly, drooling.

Qin Yi turned to look at Yu Shang, who had completely turned into a statue, clutching Chu Rong tightly in her hand, her whole body trembling.

Being sold out and still helping the seller count the money... It's not easy for a person to be this stupid.

Qin Yi ignored her and laughed, "Doggy, you're really good at this. How come he's so obedient?"

"It's just to let him reveal all his greed; he can't hide it from me." Taotie said smugly, "You know what? He claims to be a god, but he actually has a real deity he worships."

Qin Yi laughed and said, "A gluttonous beast?"

The gluttonous beast, hands on its hips, laughed loudly, "I didn't expect there to be so many gluttonous beast followers here!"

With a "thud, "Liusu tapped it on the head with a bone. "Getting cocky?"

Taotie immediately forced a smile, "No, no... Can this woman be eaten? As a reward for the dog..."

After a long silence, Yu Shang whispered, "Eat me."

The dog was about to pounce when Qin Yi grabbed it and stuffed the ring into its mouth.

If she had any thought before that the dog would devour her, that thought is completely gone now.

He's just an idiot... and he's been dealt this much of a blow.

This could actually be a great fortuitous opportunity to ask her if she could take people to the center of the sea...

Qin Yi was deep in thought when Liusu floated back and forth among a pile of hearts on the ground, clicking her tongue in amazement. "A very interesting secret technique. By taking someone else's heart, you can acquire their abilities. It does indeed have a bit of a gluttonous feel to it. But the most crucial part here is the method of replacing the Five Viscera organs. No matter what part is lost, it can be replaced, endlessly regenerating, and immortal."

Qin Yi snapped out of his daze and asked, "Is this technique worth learning?"

"It's well worth it. If you get shot through the heart in battle, this will save you from death," Liusu laughed. "It's like having an extra life-saving skill, so why not?"

Qin Yi released the dog again. "Eat... first, acquire his secret technique."

The Taotie lay limply in his hand, utterly dejected.

Let the dog out when there's trouble, otherwise put it in the ring...

What's so delicious about this hairy god? The feathered one is much more appealing...
