Uwabami Bird

This person...

His face was kind, his expression honest, his smile friendly, and his voice sincere and gentle; he was the kind of person who could easily win people's favor.

At other times, Qin Yi would probably be happy to associate with such people as well, as he himself is someone who can easily get along with others.

But right now...

There's a 99% chance this is a love rival, or a love rival's advisor. Well, let's just say it's a joke.

With a thought racing through his mind, Qin Yi put on a warm and friendly smile, "It's really fate to meet someone without wings here."

The man laughed and said, "There aren't many people here without wings... Are you from the sea, brother?"

Every question seemed to be asking if he was a son-in-law of the Winged Human Race ... That's normal; most people would have that suspicion. Qin Yi thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "I just came from the sea. Ah, the scenery on the shore is truly magnificent; it's broadened my horizons."

"The scenery is beautiful when the sea is vast and the sky is clear and blue." The man laughed and said, "Brother, you've only seen a little bit of the hustle and bustle of the city. Actually, after seeing so much, I still think the sea is the best place to be."

Qin Yi then asked, "Where do you come from, sir?"

"I'm from a small, rural place, here to visit relatives." The man cupped his hands and said, "My name is Gu Shuanglin, may I ask your name, sir?"

"My name is Qi Wu... Do all Ubagabi Bird Tribe the surname Gu?"

"Uh... no, we're not Uwabami Bird, we're distant relatives."

"Summer Harvest Bird?"

"Haha, Brother Qin, just think of us as Uwabami Bird have degenerated over the past ten thousand years." Gu Shuanglin laughed heartily, "Actually, many races no longer look like they used to."

"That's true." Qin Yi glanced at Yu Lan and saw her return with two lollipops, then smiled and said, "My wife is back. I won't chat with you any longer. We'll meet again sometime."

"Brother Qi, please wait a moment." Gu Shuanglin said hurriedly, "To be honest, Brother Qi, I greatly admire Miss Yuren. Now that you have successfully married into the family, you should know some details about their preferences. If you can give me some pointers, I will surely repay you."

"Oh?" Qin Yi smiled knowingly. "This kind of information is very valuable. What can you give me in return?"

Gu Shuanglin hesitated for a moment. "How about a Radiant Sun-level Law Treasure?"

"That's a huge investment!" Qin Yi showed interest, but he hesitated and said, "Unfortunately, I'm afraid of my wife, so I don't dare to say anything."

As they were talking, Yu Lan had already arrived beside them, and charmingly handed them a lollipop. "Here, I bought one for you too."

Qin Yi bowed and scraped as he accepted the gift, saying, "Thank you, Madam."

Yu Lan stared wide-eyed. "You..."

With his back to Gu Shuanglin, Qin Yi winked at Yu Lan.

Yu Lan wasn't stupid. She immediately looked up, snorted, and said coldly, "Since you serve me so well, even a dog needs Root Bone."

This requires no acting skills; it's all just natural performance.

Qin Yi fawned, "Yes, yes, yes, Madam is good to me."

Yu Lan snorted and glanced sideways at Gu Shuanglin: "Don't talk to strangers. Let's go."

"Yes." Qin Yi bowed slightly and followed behind her.

Gu Shuanglin watched them leave with a warm smile, even a hint of envy. Liusu secretly observed his expression with her Divine Sense; even after Qin Yi had gone quite a distance, Gu Shuanglin's expression remained unchanged, seemingly genuinely envious.

Liusu then whispered to Qin Yi asked curiously, "Do you really envy this kind of life as a live-in son-in-law?"

"You wouldn't know this," Yu Lan said haughtily, tilting her head back. "Our Winged Human Race are both powerful and beautiful. Countless people would rather lick our shoes than be worthy of it."

Qin Yi glanced at her sideways, wanting to scare her but afraid that Gu Shuanglin would notice something amiss, so he could only hold his breath and follow her like a servant.

Yu Lan was extremely pleased, completely forgetting that going home might bring trouble.

"Forget it, I was planning to stroll around Xun Wood City, but it seems like I'm being watched now. Acting and shopping are too much trouble." Qin Yi sighed. "Actually, it's a gain in itself... I'll just go back and wait it out. I think he'll come looking for me again."

Yu Lan turned to look behind her; everyone had turned the corner, and Gu Shuanglin was no longer in sight. She felt a pang of reluctance; the brief moment of happiness she had enjoyed, being able to boss around that infuriating Qin Yi, was gone forever...

Even after Qin Yi and Yu Lan returned to the Feather People's camp, Gu Shuanglin still had a warm smile on his face, as if it had always been that way.

A winged Uwabami Bird) approached. "How is it?"

Gu Shuanglin said, "Whether someone is truly willing to act like a slave is actually quite easy to tell. This person may appear to be bowing and scraping, but in reality, he has pride and will certainly not be willing to be trampled on by a mere winged woman."

"So, this person can be used by us?"

"As long as he has any desires... such as wanting to escape this position, or to assert his authority as a husband... then he can be in our hands." Gu Shuanglin looked up, somewhat puzzled, and thought for a long time, "But where have I heard the name Qi Wu before..."

"There are plenty of people with the same name." The Uwabami Bird didn't seem to think it was a big deal, and said, "Since this person is usable, why don't we find an opportunity to get to know him better?"

Gu Shuanglin absentmindedly hummed in response.

The Uwabami Bird smiled expectantly, "Actually, if it were me, I would really be willing. Feathered people are so beautiful... I've heard that Yu Shang is even more stunning... If I didn't have other requests, under normal circumstances, I wouldn't mind marrying into the family and licking their shoes..."

Gu Shuanglin's usually amiable expression finally wavered, and he managed to roll his eyes.

Liusu withdrew her Divine Sense, cupped her hands, and said, "Simps are really awesome."

The dog stared at it longingly, at a loss for what to do.

Qin Yi also thought that simps were truly amazing; even though they clearly had ulterior motives, they could still say things like "I'm really willing"...

That being said, my acting skills are still not up to par. People could tell at a glance that I wasn't truly willing... But ironically, this mistake made the other party think that I was someone they could win over, which is both funny and frustrating.

Over there, Yu Shang received an old Yu Ren with a powerful aura.

High Priest of the Winged Human Race.

All the Feathered People Dual Cultivation of Immortality and Martial Arts and martial arts, but their main focus differs slightly. Those like the Yu Shang Martial Cultivation, while the Priest type focuses on Immortal Dao. This High Priest is clearly at the mid-stage of the Qian Yuan realm, approaching the late stage, and is extremely powerful.

Yu Shang bowed and said, "Greetings, High Priest."

Although there was a huge difference in their cultivation levels, the High Priest didn't treat Yu Shang with any disrespect. At this level, there was no significant difference in status, and everyone should respect each other.

However, his businesslike demeanor was still quite evident. "Greetings, Saintess."

Yu Shang, with a businesslike expression, said, "This time, the Ci family proposed marriage, and we were waiting for the Clan Leader to come and get a plan. Now that the High Priest has arrived, what is your opinion?"

"Several families?" The High Priest was puzzled. The Winged Human Race were straightforward; if three families proposed marriage, then there were only three families. What did "several families" mean?

"Hmm... because there's still one more applicant, and the High Priest needs to review it. It's not certain yet, I can only say there are several."

"There's another one?" the High Priest asked curiously. "Which one?"

"The Divine Land Human Race"

The High Priest waved his hand. "They don't get any."

The word "fen" had only been pronounced for half a tone when Yu Shang interrupted with a straight face, "It's the dragon and the phoenix, the distinguished guest who is equal to the king."

The High Priest's hand froze in mid-air for a long while before he said, "Take me to see him first."

The two arrived at Qin Yi's yard and immediately saw Qin Yi and Yu Lan coming from the other side, seemingly just back from shopping. As soon as they entered the yard, Qin Yi snatched the lollipop from Yu Lan's hand. "I told you to give even a dog a bone, and now you've got no candy!"

Yu Lan struggled fiercely. "Just pretend that's what they said was about me, waaaaah... you're a bad person..."

"..." The High Priest's lips twitched, and he turned to look at Yu Shang: "Are you sure... this man who's fighting with a child for candy is of marriageable age?"

Yu Shang's eyes sparkled. "But don't you think he's adorable?"

The dog inside the ring muttered, "Simps are really awesome."

P. S.: Thanks to Raspberry Yogurt for getting me to Silver rank, and thanks to those who bought me the belt and helped me reach Alliance rank. Including yesterday's CD, I'm now 12 chapters behind...

However, I can't add any more updates today. A friend of mine is coming back from out of town, and I have to go out for drinks and a check-up with him. I'll start updating again tomorrow. Hmm, I wonder if this will ever end... Can we negotiate a discount?
