Live-in Son-in-law

The young master in white never expected his pants to suddenly drop; flustered, he scrambled to pull them up.

Qin Yi couldn’t hold it in and let out a snort of laughter,

The young master’s face, which had already turned red, instantly darkened to the color of an eggplant as he flew into a rage on the spot.

He yanked his pants up in a panic, grabbed his sword, and charged straight at Qin Yi.

"Your pants fell down."

Qin Yi said again with a grin.

"Ziiip!"

The young master’s pants dropped again. This time he rushed too fast and got tripped up, tumbling a few times on the ground. The sword in his hand almost injured him.

Qin Yi was laughing "gaga," and since this young master in white didn’t appreciate kindness, he couldn’t be blamed for not being polite anymore.

The young master in white rolled twice and ended up lying on his back.

Qin Yi’s face was full of mischief as he said, "This young master really has a very strange hobby."

What man could endure such humiliation, especially someone like this young master in white who looked like he’d never suffered a loss in his life? He was so furious he almost exploded on the spot.

"You two, kill him for me."

The two scantily dressed women both raised their swords.

"I’m done playing with you. Farewell! Let me give you two girls a bit of advice—there are plenty of good men out there, why pick this kind?"

With that, his figure flickered and he vanished without a trace.

By the time the two women rushed out, Qin Yi was already nowhere to be seen.

The two of them went back and saw the young master in white scrambling up from the ground in a sorry state. He hurriedly pulled up his pants, one hand gripping his sword and the other clutching his waistband, as if terrified his pants would fall again.

The two women held back their laughter and exchanged a glance, their eyes full of disappointment...

"Where did that bastard go?" The man’s face was flushed, and he roared.

"Young Master Jin, that man’s cultivation wasn’t weak. By the time we chased out, he’d already disappeared."

At this moment, the other woman tugged at the gauzy veil that had slipped down to her shoulders and said, "Young Master Jin, the two of us still have things to do, so we’ll be taking our leave."

The young master in white panicked. "Fairies, didn’t we agree you’d keep me company tonight..."

"Young Master Jin, we truly have matters to attend to. We’ll see you again if there’s a chance."

With that, the two of them hurried off.

"I really didn’t expect that."

"Exactly, exactly, this Fairy can’t be bothered to serve him."

The door hadn’t been closed, so the two women’s words carried clearly to the young master in white’s ears, nearly making him blow his top, seething with both shame and fury.

"Bastard, that bastard, this young master will definitely find you and tear you to pieces."

The young master in white roared loudly. It hadn’t been easy for him to hook up with those two beauties, and now the ducks that were already in hand had flown away. It was all that bastard’s fault, and on top of that he’d been humiliated so badly—he was almost driven mad with rage.

...

...

Qin Yi stormed out of Qingyuan Inn, also seething.

"Bastard, son of a bitch..."

Qin Yi muttered curses under his breath.

The Evil Lord spoke up, "With your usual temper, that kid would’ve died a hundred times over already. How come you wimped out this time? If you’re really mad, just go back and kill that kid."

"I’m not mad at that young master in white, I’m mad at that horse-faced old man." Qin Yi said sullenly.

"The one who scammed you out of money at the city gate?"

Qin Yi grunted a gloomy "mm."

"I only just realized that old thing was completely lying to me. So many people go in and out of this city, yet he could ’clearly’ tell me that Lang Ya and the others were staying at Qingyuan Inn—he obviously just made it up on the spot."

"No way, this young master can’t swallow this. If it weren’t for his nonsense, how would I have offended someone for no reason?"

The Evil Lord said, "Was that waiter also lying to you?"

"No, he just didn’t know what was going on. The most hateful one is that horse-faced old man; he was clearly just out to scam money."

"You’re going to take revenge on him?"

"You think this young master is someone who takes a loss lying down?"

Qin Yi headed toward the city gate.

By now, the sun was slanting in the west.

Qin Yi sat down at a tea stall near the city gate.

He sat there for more than two hours.

Over those two hours, he watched with his own eyes as the horse-faced old man used all sorts of excuses to swindle money from people entering the city.

When night fell, the city gate slowly closed.

The horse-faced old man got off work.

"Brother Ma, want to go to Qinglian Pavilion tonight to drink and listen to music?"

The horse-faced old man clutched his pocket tightly and said warily, "No, my wife is still waiting for me at home."

"Oh, cut it out. Since when do you have a wife?"

"Haha..." The horse-faced old man laughed it off. "I forgot—what I mean is, I’ve got something to do. Next time I’ll go with you all."

The four of them chatted as they walked past the tea stall, and the horse-faced old man didn’t notice Qin Yi watching him at all.

Qin Yi sneered, a trace of disdain flickering in his eyes. This horse-faced old man was clearly a miser.

The four of them parted ways on the main street.

The horse-faced old man remained wary the whole way.

But given Qin Yi’s cultivation, there was no way he could spot him.

The horse-faced old man wound his way through the streets and alleys until he finally arrived at a small courtyard, pushed the door open, and went in.

The courtyard was small, but it was kept fairly neat.

The horse-faced old man shut the door, walked into a room, closed that door as well, lit a candle, went to the table, poured himself a cup of cold tea, and took several big gulps. Then he pulled out fistfuls of Gold Coins from his robe and began counting them one by one with great care, his mouth grinning like a baby’s, his eyes narrowed into slits from smiling.

"Two hundred seventy-one, two hundred seventy-two..."

"Nice haul today. How much did you scam in total?"

"Haven’t finished counting yet..." the horse-faced old man answered subconsciously. The next second he realized something was wrong, jerked his head up, and his whole body surged with Qi.

He saw that at some point, a person had appeared in front of the table.

The horse-faced old man’s pupils shrank violently a few times, his whole body tensing, his face full of vigilance.

He had clearly closed the door; for someone to show up without a sound meant the other party’s cultivation wasn’t weak.

"It’s you."

He finally recognized Qin Yi.

After all, someone as handsome as Qin Yi was rarely seen in this world and impossible to forget.

Qin Yi pulled over a stool and sat down, narrowing his eyes slightly as he looked at the horse-faced old man.

The horse-faced old man’s hair stood on end under his gaze. Forcing a dry laugh, he said, "Little friend, did you come so late at night to thank this old man? Did you find your friends?"

"Yep, I’m here to thank you."

Qin Yi’s face was covered in smiles, then he said, "Open your mouth."

The horse-faced old man’s eyes went blank in an instant, and he swung his arm in a full arc to slap himself hard across the face.

That slap was vicious enough that not only did it swell his own cheek, it also snapped him back to his senses.

He stared dumbly at his own hand, eyes filled with horror. Why had he just slapped himself?

"How do you like this little thank-you gift from me?"

Qin Yi asked with squinted eyes and a smile.

The horse-faced old man’s expression changed drastically, his soul nearly scared out of his body. What kind of method was this, that it could actually control someone else?

"Y-you... what do you want?"

The horse-faced old man shouted, his voice tough on the outside but weak on the inside.

"Let me tell you, I’m with the City Lord’s Mansion. If you dare lay a hand on me, you won’t have any place to stand in Sea City."
