Qin Yi was quite helpless, but there weren't many people in this world with whom he could joke around without any reservations, and Lan Jiaojiao was one of them.
The banter and teasing between friends felt really nice.
Actually, the wound on Lan Jiaojiao's forehead was just a superficial injury, not hard to treat; it was healed without much effort, leaving no trace at all.
Qin Yi then restored Lan Jiaojiao's cultivation.
"Golden Core, Early Stage?"
As Lan Jiaojiao's cultivation was restored, Qin Yi was greatly shocked.
When he first met Lan Jiaojiao, she was just an ordinary person. Finally, this woman tricked him to get his Blood Immortal Gourd, and with the help of Old Man Lan, she successfully became a Qi Refiner.
In just a few years, she crossed two major realms.
Lan Jiaojiao looked very proud, "So? Am I amazing or what?"
Qin Yi nodded, crossing two major realms in such a short time was a rarity.
However, Qin Yi knew that Lan Jiaojiao's rapid breakthrough speed might be related to the Inheriting Heaven Pearl.
The Inheriting Heaven Pearl is the Fox Clan's most treasured artifact, recognizing Lan Jiaojiao as its owner. Plus, she was born in a family skilled in medicine, traveled the world for many years in search of various spiritual medicines, and cultivated diligently. This must be the reason for her rapid improvement.
"Ah, it feels so good to have my cultivation restored." Lan Jiaojiao stretched her body.
Qin Yi smiled, "How did you get hurt on the head?"
"It was that bastard Fang Zhiyi." Lan Jiaojiao recounted the incident.
Qin Yi was silent for a while, then said, "Fang Wwen wasn't wrong, you really are exceedingly foolish."
Lan Jiaojiao: "..."
"Hey, what's with you? I was the victim, and you're not comforting me; you even talk to me like this. Doesn't your conscience hurt?"
Qin Yi derided, "Did you not think that your death wouldn't have solved anything?"
"Did I have time to think so much at the moment? This lady was sacrificing herself to keep you safe from danger. You're truly heartless."
Qin Yi laughed, "Alright, don't do such silly things in the future. If something like this happens again, first find a way to ensure your safety. If you can rescue yourself, do it; if not, find a way to inform me."
"Old Qin, you really live up to your name, Qin Yi."
Qin Yi was momentarily confused, what did this mean?
Lan Jiaojiao teased, "Old Qin, do you know what the name Qin Yi stands for now?"
"I'd love to hear more."
Lan Jiaojiao excitedly said, "The name Qin Yi stands for shamelessness, treachery, cunning, bloodthirsty... just generally unflattering words. Think about it, carefully, don't you feel you're utterly worthless?"
Qin Yi: "..."
"Were these defamations spread by you?"
"Hey, your character sucks, don't doubt mine, okay?"
Qin Yi was skeptical, "Why are you so excited then?"
"Am I excited?"
Qin Yi nodded.
"Maybe seeing others curse you made me a bit too happy. I'm sorry you saw through my disguise."
Qin Yi: "..."
"I regret coming to rescue you now."
"Old Qin, don't be so petty! You've come all this way, right?"
"I can still leave now."
Lan Jiaojiao pouted, "If I shout once, you won't be able to leave."
"Damn, you're really sick, woman."
"I caught it from you; I need to stay away." Lan Jiaojiao gave Qin Yi an annoyed look, then walked over and scrutinized the woman on the bed. "You're pretty good at catching prey, always going for the pretty ones. How much did you take advantage of her after knocking her out?"
Qin Yi: "..."
"No, I'm scared of dirt! This woman previously had intercourse with two men consecutively."
Lan Jiaojiao quickly backed off a few steps, full of disdain, and glared at Qin Yi, "Go wash your hands immediately and don't catch anything."
Qin Yi rolled his eyes speechlessly.
"Old Qin, Manager Xia should have given birth by now, right?"
Qin Yi nodded, "Twins, two daughters, mother and daughters are safe."
Lan Jiaojiao looked at the happiness on Qin Yi's face and couldn't help but laugh.
Qin Yi was happy, and that made her happy too.
"What are their names?"
"One is Qin Ping'an, and the other is Xia Pingluan."
Lan Jiaojiao paused, "Your names aren't very thoughtful, are they?"
"What nonsense are you talking? These names were carefully considered."
"Congratulations! I'm really happy for you. I truly envy Manager Xia, having your love to the point of giving the children her surname."
Qin Yi laughed, "Hey, what era is this? It's pretty normal to use the mother's surname, no?
Those two children are really beautiful, like two porcelain dolls. Once we're out, come back with me to have a look; I guarantee you'll like them."
Lan Jiaojiao smiled, "We'll see then."
"What do you mean, 'we'll see then'? The babies' hundredth day is coming, aren't you planning to give them something?"
Lan Jiaojiao was speechless, "You're bringing me back just to collect gifts?"
"What else? Isn't it a blessing to see how beautiful my children are? Are you willing to come empty-handed? If you can handle it, then I don't mind."
"I can handle it." Lan Jiaojiao smiled.
Qin Yi: "..."
"Old Qin, we haven't had a chat like this in a long time, have we?"
Qin Yi nodded slightly, indeed it had been a while.
...
...
The next day, early morning.
The entire Fang Family was bustling with joy.
Of course, this was merely a facade; their real goal wasn't to arrange the marriage of Fang Zhiyi and Lan Jiaojiao, but Qin Yi.
But Qin Yi didn't show up.
They laid an elaborate trap, but since Qin Yi didn't come, it felt like hitting air with a punch, they really couldn't be happy.
However, the Fang Family didn't give up.
Because Qin Yi not showing up doesn't mean he never will.
From their understanding of Qin Yi, he wouldn't just watch Lan Jiaojiao marry Fang Zhiyi.
So, they pinned their hopes on this wedding banquet.
"Knock knock..."
The sound of knocking came.
Qin Yi and Lan Jiaojiao exchanged a look, then Qin Yi got up from the chair, went over, and stuffed the girl named Xiaolian under the bed.
Qin Yi himself hid behind the screen.
As soon as he hid, the door was pushed open, and an old woman walked in with several maids.
These maids were holding wedding dresses in their hands.
"Miss Lan, did you rest well last night? It's time to get ready, don't miss the auspicious hour."
The old woman said with a fake smile.
Lan Jiaojiao kept a cold face, remaining silent.
The old woman's smile was sickening, and she ordered, "Help Miss Lan dress up."
A group of people came over and began to fuss around Lan Jiaojiao.
Lan Jiaojiao didn't resist and let them have their way. Inside, though, she was laughing coldly, bastard, you'll have your day to cry.
Lan Jiaojiao put on the red wedding dress and sat in front of the dressing table. The old woman started to comb her hair.
"One comb for harmony and beauty.
Two combs so husband and wife are of one mind.
Three combs for mutual respect.
..."
Lan Jiaojiao felt a sense of disorientation, such a beautiful wedding dress, yet she was not marrying the right person.
If only this wedding dress was worn for him, how wonderful it would be.
