Live-in Son-in-law

"Lead the way."

Qin Yi said expressionlessly.

The Third Princess picked up the candle on the table and obediently led the way in front.

Upon entering the secret chamber, Qin Yi glanced around.

This secret chamber was not large, about a dozen square meters, but it contained a dazzling array of items, various ancient jade artifacts, pearls, and agates, though Qin Yi was not interested in these. What he needed most now was a spiritual elixir.

Qin Yi’s gaze fell on a few jade boxes, and his instincts told him that they contained what he needed.

Qin Yi stepped forward and casually opened one of the jade boxes, from which a gleaming red cloud mist emanated.

"Red Cloud Butterfly Herb."

Qin Yi was overjoyed, not expecting to encounter such a good item.

The Red Cloud Butterfly Herb is grown in extremely hot places, usually thriving in magma, named because its leaves resemble butterflies.

This Red Cloud Butterfly Herb has three leaves, each representing fifty years, meaning this Butterfly Grass is one hundred and fifty years old.

Qin Yi moved his gaze to the adjacent jade box, opened it, and saw a dead vine inside, but the rich medicinal aroma gave him a shock.

Qin Yi couldn’t identify what tree the vine came from, but being collected by the Third Princess indicated it was not simple.

Qin Yi opened the remaining boxes in sequence, feeling somewhat disappointed. Except for the Red Cloud Butterfly Herb, none of the herbs in the other jade boxes had a history of over a hundred years.

Qin Yi focused on the last jade box. Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed the Third Princess becoming visibly nervous.

There must be something good in this box.

Qin Yi opened the box and found a small white jade bottle inside.

Qin Yi took out and opened the small bottle, revealing three pills as white and pure as jade, emitting a faint fragrance.

"What is this?"

The Third Princess lowered her head, full of reluctance, "It’s Jade Skin Pill."

"What is the Jade Skin Pill used for?"

"The Jade Skin Pill was refined by the royal family’s alchemy master. Consuming it keeps the skin white and smooth while emitting a faint fragrance."

Qin Yi frowned, this thing seemed to be of no use to him, his excitement for nothing.

He looked at the Third Princess, reflecting that women seem to care deeply about things that enhance beauty.

Qin Yi casually tossed the small white jade bottle to the Third Princess, "Keep this for yourself, though I think you, basked in men’s attention daily, don’t need it."

The Third Princess heard the scorn in Qin Yi’s words, caught the bottle, and said nothing while lowering her head.

"Close the chamber door, and don’t go anywhere."

The Third Princess obediently walked over to close the door and then stood wrapped in a blanket in the corner like a punished little student.

Seeing her hesitate to speak, Qin Yi said indifferently, "What do you want to say?"

"I’ve given you everything you need; you promised to detoxify me."

Qin Yi paused slightly, then nodded silently.

In truth, there was no poison; he had been deceiving the Third Princess all along.

This woman was so concerned about her appearance, constantly receiving men’s affection and using the Jade Skin Pill, she certainly wouldn’t allow her skin to ulcerate and turn into a pool of pus.

Qin Yi took out the Red Cloud Butterfly Herb and other herbs and, under the Third Princess’s shocked gaze, stuffed them all into his mouth, chewed a few times, and swallowed.

The Third Princess was dumbfounded, these herbs were at least decades old, with fierce potency, wasn’t he afraid of bursting himself by eating this way?

Though she didn’t have high cultivation, she knew such herbs should be slowly refined and absorbed.

Little did she know, if Qin Yi could refine it, he wouldn’t need these herbs.

Upon entering his body, the herbs transformed into several blazing energies, rushing through Qin Yi’s body like a flood.

Qin Yi groaned, cold sweat beading on his forehead.

His cultivation was sealed, and he couldn’t suppress the medicinal force. Moreover, he needed this very chaos to break the sealing.

Muffled sounds of collision came from within Qin Yi’s body, his throat issuing painful roars.

The rampaging medicinal force surged through the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, racing wildly, as if to tear his tendons and veins apart.

Qin Yi trembled all over with pain, unable to stand, he forced himself to sit down cross-legged.

Because he had simultaneously swallowed several types of great medicine, there were several medicinal forces rampaging within him.

Large beads of sweat dripped down his chin, Qin Yi gritted his teeth tightly, his masseter muscles bulging, teeth clattering, and veins on his forehead protruding visibly.

Amazingly, the various medicinal forces began to merge, forming a torrent.

"Ah!"

Qin Yi’s eyes nearly cracked, letting out a low, grating howl.

One of his veins was forcibly torn apart.

This action was fraught with danger, if the medicinal force tore the veins around his heart, he’d truly be doomed.

Time passed, second by second.

Qin Yi’s eyes nearly burst, several times nearly passing out from pain, with at least seven or eight veins torn by the terrifying medicinal force.

Fortunately, his luck held, as the medicinal force didn’t seem interested in his heart.

"Crack!"

Suddenly, a sound like an eggshell breaking echoed within Qin Yi.

Qin Yi’s eyes suddenly brightened, shining like stars.

A powerful aura spread from Qin Yi’s body.

He had succeeded!

A crack had been forced open in the sealing, allowing him to restore some of his cultivation.

"Such a lucky dog! Survived even this."

The Evil Lord said resentfully.

Qin Yi had no interest in responding to him, waiting to settle the score after autumn.

With a trace of cultivation restored, he could open the storage ring.

Qin Yi retrieved a jade box from the storage ring and opened it to reveal a crystal-clear fruit.

"Elf Fruit."

The Evil Lord exclaimed, "How do you possess such a good thing?"

"I have tons of treasures like these."

Qin Yi sneered and immediately swallowed the Elf Fruit whole.

"Boom!"

The Elf Fruit was no ordinary item; as soon as it entered his mouth, it transformed into a torrent rushing into Qin Yi’s body, causing his clothes to billow as dense spiritual energy seeped from his pores.

"Crack!"

A crisp sound.

Qin Yi’s aura became several degrees stronger again.

The Elf Fruit’s power effectively shattered the sealing to pieces.

Qin Yi began energy movement to refine the Elf Fruit’s power, also sealing his pores to prevent its power from leaking out.

However, he underestimated the Elf Fruit’s power; his entire being inflated like a balloon, as if he would burst any moment.

"Burst you, blow you up." The Evil Lord cursed viciously.

Qin Yi trembled all over, frantically refining the Elf Fruit’s power. He resembled a miser, the type who prioritizes wealth over life.

"Ah, can’t hold on anymore."

Qin Yi opened his mouth, directly spewing out concentrated spiritual energy as if it were solid.

The Elf Fruit’s power was too immense; without venting, he might truly burst.

"Why won’t you just blow up?" The Evil Lord cursed.

He had no desire for Qin Yi to recover; knowing Qin Yi was vindictive, judging by recent events, Qin Yi surely remembered them. Once Qin Yi’s cultivation was restored, his fate would not be pleasant.
