Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 1021 1021: The Secret of the Eye of Righteous and Evil

Qin Mu pondered for a moment, then laughed, "Judging by the voice, the person is old, so it can't be Chu Xun. Chu Xun wouldn't age; his voice is crisp, completely different from what you described."
Qin Yi wondered, "Then who could it be?"
Qin Mu's eyes flashed, and he suddenly laughed, "I know who it is! Didn't expect him to wake up too."
"Who? Do you know him?" Qin Yi asked.
Qin Mu nodded slightly, "Strictly speaking, he's not human."
"Huh?" Qin Yi was puzzled, "If he's not human, what is he?"
"Dragon," Qin Mu replied.
Qin Yi's eyes widened in shock.
"Are you very surprised?" Qin Mu laughed.
Qin Yi nodded. Isn't it obvious? Who wouldn't be shocked to hear this?
Ning Tian laughed, "I just love how inexperienced you look."
Qin Yi rolled his eyes, "It's like you knew all along."
"Of course, we've drunk wine together, fished, and discussed the Dao."
"Who can't boast?" Qin Yi scoffed.
Qin Mu laughed, "This time, Ning Tian isn't exaggerating; they're kind of fishing buddies."
"What the heck?"
"Friends who fish together."
Qin Yi was speechless; what kind of words are these? Can't they speak like normal people?
"Old Qin, when you talk about the dragon, is his name Dragon, or is he actually a dragon?"
Qin Mu laughed, "He truly is a dragon."
Qin Yi opened his mouth, stunned.
"Is there really a dragon in this world?"
Ning Tian scoffed, "You know the twelve zodiac animals, right? All belong to the cycle, do you think our ancestors would include a non-existent creature?"
Qin Yi thought for a moment, mumbling, "But this is too unreliable. A dragon, a legendary being."
"His name is Emperor Ao, Earth's greatest Guardian God. His presence is ancient, and he once served as Chu Xun's protector. However, dragons love to sleep, dozing for hundreds or thousands of years, waking only when Earth faces major events."
"Chu Xun's protector?" Qin Yi grimaced, "Goodness, how long has he been alive?"
Qin Mu said, "Emperor Ao's awakening this time is probably related to the disaster brought by your Eye of Righteous and Evil."
Qin Yi nodded slightly, "That explains why he is hostile towards me."
"Kid, you're lucky he didn't immediately annihilate you. I'm curious, why didn't he just kill you?" Ning Tian wondered.
Qin Yi retorted unpleasantly, "What? Are you upset he didn't kill me?"
"What do you know? Emperor Ao guarded Earth for countless ages; the disaster you brought was destructive, by his nature he should've killed you." Ning Tian said seriously.
Qin Mu nodded slightly, "Indeed, by Emperor Ao's character, he would usually nip dangers in the bud. It's truly odd he didn't kill you."
Qin Yi's scalp tingled, even Qin Mu said so, meaning he was at the brink of death.
"Perhaps because you were killing the mother spiders at the time, that's why he spared you."
Qin Yi nodded, maybe that's it.
"Damn, the Guardian of Earth is actually a dragon, never would have thought. We often call ourselves descendants of the dragon, maybe that's why?"
Qin Mu nodded, "Sort of. Emperor Ao is a Five-clawed Golden Dragon with long life; he's cultivated to the peak. With Chu Xun around, nothing can destroy him, he will live on forever."
Qin Yi was amazed; he survived from the dragon's claw.
"Old Qin, did Chu Xun talk to you about a way to deal with the Eye of Righteous and Evil?"
Qin Mu nodded slightly.
Qin Yi's eyes lit up, then he looked worried, "Is it about gouging my eye out? I'll tell you, forget it."
"Gouging your eye would be simple."
Qin Yi bared his teeth, feeling indignant; gouging an eye is simple? Of course, it's not your eye, so you don't feel the pain.
"What's the solution then?"
Qin Mu pondered for a moment, "According to Qin Yi, the Eye of Righteous and Evil comes in pairs, but it's not a set, it's a pair."
"A pair?" Qin Yi was confused, surprised, "Two eyes are a pair, aren't they?"
Qin Mu shook his head, "Actually, the Eye of Righteous and Evil is just a general name; you really only received an Evil Eye, and the other Righteous Eye is innately yours.
Because of your inherent kindness, your left eye is righteous, and your right eye is evil, forming a suppressing force. This means your left eye suppresses the evil energy of your right eye, creating a balanced state."
Qin Yi realized, "It does seem like it; I initially only received one eyeball, not two."
"That's correct, you received the Evil Eye."
"Didn't you say there are two? Where's the other Evil Eye then?"
Qin Mu said, "Very likely in the Primordial."
Qin Yi was extremely surprised.
Qin Mu said, "Chu Xun told me this Evil Eye belonged to a god-level cultivator who fell, storing his Divine Soul in the eyes, looking to possess someone with great talent to nurture. He provides immense benefits to the host, like cultivation techniques, Divine Skills, etc.
Once both hosts grow fully, he then chooses the superior one. Do you understand? Simply put, whoever has higher cultivation, he will destroy their Divine Soul, taking their body as his own.
As for the abandoned one, he will reclaim the Evil Eye, causing their death, absorbing their cultivation to become stronger."
Qin Yi's face darkened, "You're saying there's another person who received the Evil Eye, and if their cultivation is higher, the Eye's master will take back the Evil Eye from me, absorb my cultivation, and I will die, completely fallen. Is that what you mean?"
Qin Mu nodded slightly.
Qin Yi's face turned cold; he thought the Eye of Righteous and Evil was an ownerless treasure, but it turns out to be a conspiracy. All his efforts in cultivation might end up benefiting someone else.
"Qin Yi, first tell me, did all those skills you have come from the Eye of Righteous and Evil?"
Qin Yi said, "Except for the Star Falling Disaster and Petrification Technique, the rest came from the Eye of Righteous and Evil."
"Then that makes sense, the master of the Evil Eye hopes you grow quickly because he wants to revive soon."
Qin Yi's handsome face turned pale, "Damn, I knew there's no free lunch."
Qin Mu said, "You should feel fortunate."
Qin Yi was a bit puzzled, "How so?"
"Because the Divine Soul of the Evil Eye's master is attached to one of the Evil Eyes; clearly, you didn't get that one. Otherwise, I fear the Evil Eye's master would have devoured your soul, occupying your body."
Qin Yi broke out in cold sweat.
Damn, if his soul was devoured, and his body occupied, then… the consequences were unimaginable.
"Quickly, tell me, how can the Evil Eye be removed?"
Qin Mu shook his head, "The Evil Eye is attached to you; it can't be removed. Not even gouging the eye would work. Unless you find the other Evil Eye and use its power to destroy yours."
