#612 - Heart blowing on the quicksand river

Her small waist was a perfect handful, and her delicate jade feet were exquisitely white...

Qin Yi looked at Hong Lian, who was like a goddess, and couldn't help but be captivated.

"Gulp~"

An untimely sound of swallowing saliva rang out.

There's no need to ask who the owner of this sound was, it was undoubtedly the Great Ming Emperor Qin!

Hong Lian looked at Qin Yi and suddenly asked a question in a gentle tone: "Qin Yi, am I beautiful?"

Qin Yi subconsciously nodded, then immediately realized something was wrong.

With Hong Lian's personality, asking this question meant that he was likely in trouble.

He quickly changed from nodding to shaking his head, his head spinning like a rattle drum...

Hong Lian looked at Qin Yi nodding and then shaking his head, and said, "Qin Yi, what do you mean by this?"

Hong Lian's voice gradually turned cold, and Qin Yi's mind raced, trying to figure out how to answer Hong Lian.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Qin Yi, and he said, "Hong Lian, what I mean is, you are beautiful, very beautiful!"

Hong Lian said, "Then what did you mean by shaking your head just now?"

Qin Yi said, "What I meant by shaking my head was that there is no one more beautiful than you in the world."

Qin Yi was obviously lying through his teeth with this answer.

He was clearly shaking his head earlier because he was afraid that Hong Lian would cause him trouble...

Although the answer wasn't exactly on point, the content was sincere.

In Qin Yi's heart, he really couldn't find anyone more beautiful than Hong Lian.

Hong Lian could naturally hear the sincerity in Qin Yi's tone.

What puzzled Hong Lian was that Qin Yi's sincere answer was completely used on a question that was irrelevant.

Recalling the various times she had spent with Qin Yi, Hong Lian felt that she might have indeed left a considerable shadow in the depths of Qin Yi's heart.

Hong Lian was not the type to be a damsel in distress. As a decisive and efficient woman,

Hong Lian wouldn't deliberately change herself for Qin Yi. In fact, one type of woman she hated the most was those who changed themselves for men.

Like is like, dislike is dislike.

Deliberate catering is not only uncomfortable for oneself, but also very uncomfortable for the other party.

Hong Lian could roughly guess eight or nine out of ten of Qin Yi's reactions.

Seeing that Hong Lian didn't speak, Qin Yi could only show an awkward smile on the side.

If people familiar with Qin Yi saw this expression on his face, they would definitely think they were still dreaming and hadn't woken up yet.

The powerful, intelligent, and feared Great Ming Emperor Qin actually revealed such an expression, it was truly unbelievable.

Qin Yi thought to himself, "Crap! Hong Lian's cold appearance, I already have a bad feeling about this."

At this moment, Hong Lian stretched out her slender hand and placed it in front of Qin Yi.

Qin Yi stared blankly at Hong Lian and asked, "Hong Lian, what does this mean?"

Hong Lian revealed a smile and said, "The gift you promised me last time!"

"Didn't you say that you would give it to me next time you saw me?"

Qin Yi scratched his head awkwardly, a gift... he hadn't prepared it!

Or rather, it wasn't time to prepare it yet.

Qin Yi planned to prepare the gift for Hong Lian before going to the Blood Sea in the depths of the Killing Blade when he learned the twelfth style of the Killing Life Sword Technique.

Who would have thought that this time when he came to the ancient primordial world, Hong Lian would leave the Blood Sea and reach out for the gift as soon as she saw him.

Wasn't this a problem?

Seeing Qin Yi's appearance, the smile on Hong Lian's face suddenly froze, and then turned into a cold sneer: "Qin Yi, could it be that you didn't prepare it?"

"Did you really think I was so easy to deceive?"

Qin Yi immediately felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and thought to himself, "This time is really over! When Hong Lian smiles, life and death are unpredictable!"

Out of love for his own little life, Qin Yi smiled brightly:

"Would you believe me if I said I prepared it?"

Hong Lian stretched out her hand and said, "If you prepared it, then take it out."

Qin Yi said, "Um~ I can't give it to you right now."

Hong Lian said, "Why?"

Qin Yi said, "The gift is in the Great Ming Dynasty, we are now back in the ancient primordial world, we didn't bring it with us."

Hong Lian looked at Qin Yi with suspicion and asked seriously, "Is this true?"

Qin Yi said, "True! True!"

"When we return to the Great Ming Dynasty, I will definitely personally deliver the gift that I prepared for you."

Hong Lian stared directly at Qin Yi, as if verifying whether Qin Yi was lying or not.

She looked into Qin Yi's eyes for a long time.

Qin Yi's eyes were exceptionally sincere, and she couldn't see any trace of panic or lying.

Hong Lian said, "I'll believe you this time, but if I find out that you dare to lie to me... the consequences, I think I don't need to say more, right."

Qin Yi nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice and said, "Definitely not lying to you, definitely not!"

"When we return to the Great Ming Dynasty, I will give you the gift."

The cold expression on Hong Lian's face eased a lot, and she turned to Qin Yi and said, "Is this really the ancient primordial world?"

Seeing that Hong Lian was no longer entangled with the gift, Qin Yi understood that he had temporarily escaped a difficult situation.

But there was still the next hurdle, which was returning to the Great Ming Dynasty. If he really didn't have a gift, the fun would be great.

With Hong Lian's personality, who knows how she would deal with Qin Yi, maybe dragging him into the Blood Sea and beating him up would be the lightest punishment...

Qin Yi said, "This is indeed the ancient primordial world."

Hong Lian said in disbelief, "How is this possible!"

But all the aura and everything else proved that this place was indeed the ancient primordial world.

Hong Lian said, "Where is this place?"

Qin Yi said, "Flowing Sand River!"

Hong Lian frowned slightly and said softly, "Flowing Sand River?"

Long-sealed memories were constantly churning in Hong Lian's mind, and soon Hong Lian found memories about the Flowing Sand River.

"Flowing Sand River, I have an impression, this seems to be related to the Journey to the West plan created by the two saints in the West."

"And it seems that Jieyin had an unlucky second disciple who took on this task and was killed nine times in a row by people arranged by the Heavenly Court..."

Qin Yi said, "Before long, you will be able to see that unlucky second disciple, this time I am here to kill him."

Hong Lian said, "You kill him?"

Qin Yi nodded: "Exactly."

This time it was Hong Lian's turn to be confused, Hong Lian said, "What is the cultivation realm of the supreme power behind you! Reversing time and space, this kind of realm that only exists in legends, can actually be used."

Qin Yi: "......"

Hong Lian's words showed the difference in knowledge between the two of them.

For Hong Lian, reversing time and space was a legendary realm.

For Qin Yi, he had never even heard of reversing time and space, it was simply an impossible thing.

Hong Lian continued, "What is the supreme power behind you plotting? Spending so much effort to send you to the ancient primordial world and then letting you kill Jieyin's second disciple, what does he want to do?"

Qin Yi complained in his heart, "I don't know what the system wants to do or plot."

"But one thing is, it doesn't seem like it took much effort to send me to the ancient primordial world at all, it's as simple as eating and drinking."

As for what the system wanted to do, Qin Yi had been in the dark since he had the system.

Many times, the tasks issued by the system were nonsensical and the reasons could not be found at all.

Qin Yi even suspected many times that the system might just be playful, or have nothing to do, and that's why it issued various tasks.

Of course, these tasks might be adding a little fun to the system in its idleness and boredom.

But for Qin Yi, these tasks were definitely a powerful boost to help him improve his cultivation and combat power!

Each time he completed a system task, the generous rewards were enough to raise Qin Yi's overall strength by several levels!

This time, Qin Yi was determined to complete the limited-time task of opening the sequel to Journey to the West.

Hong Lian felt the familiar aura of the ancient primordial world and said to Qin Yi, "Reversing time and space has many taboos, the most obvious of which is on the person who reverses time and space."

"But I don't feel any abnormality in you, the great power behind you is truly mysterious and unpredictable."

Qin Yi said, "I came here in a daze."

"Hong Lian, now that you have returned to the ancient primordial world, don't you plan to wander around and take a look?"

Hong Lian shook her head and said, "It's worth being happy to revisit old places, but just take a look and wander around."

"You have the supreme power behind you protecting you, you can guarantee that you will be fine, I can't afford this backlash."

"I haven't been out for long, and I feel all kinds of discomfort, if I really go out and wander around, this backlash force is not a joke."

Qin Yi pointed to the sky and said, "Don't you plan to see him?"

Hong Lian instantly understood what Qin Yi meant, Qin Yi was referring to Haotian, the Lord of the Ancient Heavenly Court.

Hong Lian said, "I came here from the future, what's the point of seeing him?"

"Haotian and I are just equal partners, Qin Yi, don't think too much."

Although Hong Lian had no experience in love, her wisdom of living for so many years was enough for her to understand what Qin Yi was thinking.

Men are more concerned about the past of the women they like, and Qin Yi is no exception.

Hong Lian had been with the Lord of the Ancient Heavenly Court for so long, Qin Yi must want to test where Haotian was in Hong Lian's heart.

Now the test results are out, that is, there is no position at all... to put it nicely, it is a good friend who has been together for many years.

To put it bluntly, in Hong Lian's heart, the two are just partners.

Qin Yi was both happy and a little disappointed in his heart.

What was happy was that the woman he liked had never had feelings for other men.

What was disappointing was that he didn't know if Hong Lian would treat him the same way in the future.

The more Qin Yi thought about it, the more he felt that he needed an answer, Qin Yi said to Hong Lian:

"Hong Lian, if I leave you someday in the future, you won't treat me like this too, right?"

Hearing Qin Yi's words, Hong Lian pretended to be cold and said, "What else do you think?"

A look of disappointment flashed in Qin Yi's eyes, and he murmured, "As expected!"

Suddenly, Hong Lian smiled sweetly, and her slender hand stroked Qin Yi's face.

Some slightly cool fingers stroked Qin Yi's cheek, and also completely slipped into Qin Yi's heart.

Qin Yi's calm heart lake rippled...

Feeling the sensation from Hong Lian's fingers, Qin Yi suddenly thought, how wonderful it would be if this moment was eternal.

Looking at the smile on Hong Lian's face, Qin Yi's heart lake changed from ripples to waves, and finally turned into a violent storm.

An impulse rose from the bottom of Qin Yi's heart, Qin Yi wanted to hug the beautiful woman in front of him, tightly.

As soon as this thought arose, it could no longer be suppressed.

Qin Yi stretched out his hand and hugged Hong Lian...

Hong Lian's figure slowly disappeared at this time, returning to the Blood Sea.

Leaving Qin Yi, who was full of excitement, embracing empty air.

Hong Lian's voice was still echoing in his ears: "Qin Yi, my position in your heart seems to be more important than Haotian."

"And, why do you think we will be separated? With the means of the supreme power behind you, who can separate us?"

Qin Yi stood there blankly for a long time, the wind of the Flowing Sand River blew Qin Yi's clothes, and also completely blew open Qin Yi's heart that had been beating for a long time.

The temperature of Hong Lian's fingers, the beautiful smile, and the seemingly ambiguous words at the end, all of this made Qin Yi indulge in aftertaste...

If there was anything to regret, it might be that Qin Yi didn't hug Hong Lian in the end, which was a bit regrettable.

On the Flowing Sand River, Qin Yi stood there until dawn the next day before waking up from his aftertaste.

Qin Yi, who woke up, showed a happy smile at the corner of his mouth and said, "It doesn't matter if I didn't hug you this time, I'll hug you next time!"

"If I still haven't hugged you next time, I will work hard to cultivate and become stronger until you no longer reject me..."

Next, Qin Yi racked his brains to think about how to deal with the matter of giving Hong Lian a gift. After thinking about it, he still couldn't come up with a solution.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Qin Yi's mind.

He quickly connected his divine sense to the Little Thousand World, and everything in the Little Thousand World appeared in Qin Yi's divine sense.

Qin Yi was about to enter the Little Thousand World when he found that he couldn't enter the Little Thousand World at all.

But the sound could be transmitted to the Little Thousand World.

Qin Yi sent a voice transmission to Qin Liang in the Little Thousand World.

Qin Liang, who was working diligently, was startled by Qin Yi's sudden voice.

After hearing what Qin Yi had told him, a strange look appeared on Qin Liang's face.

After Qin Yi thoroughly explained the matter to Qin Liang in a few words, he left the Little Thousand World with his divine sense.

In the Little Thousand World, Qin Liang scratched his head with a confused look on his face.

Qin Lin was the first time to see Qin Liang's expression and asked in confusion: "What's wrong, Commander Liang?"

"Did you encounter any difficulties?"

Qin Liang thought for a while, anyway, the things Qin Yi had told him would not be hidden from others if they were really implemented next.

Qin Liang told Qin Lin what Qin Yi had told him, and Qin Lin's eyes widened after hearing it, and he said in surprise:

"Hey, I'm going, this is amazing, it's big news!"

"Commander Qin can also be romantic, I thought he would only cultivate and cultivate again!"

"I didn't expect that his skills in picking up girls and chasing girls are also amazing!"

"Hehe~! I've learned a lot!"

If this news gets out, I don't know how many love-struck young women will be crying in their boudoirs.
