Chapter 550: Chapter 550: Weak, Pitiful, and Helpless

The Flower Demon gave Liu Yiren a sweet smile, then hopped in.

"Are you Sister Xiaobing? You’re so pretty, just like Brother Qin Yi said, a real beauty." The Flower Demon’s big eyes were full of earnestness.

Xia Yanbing smiled faintly, "You’re still young. When you grow up, you’ll be even prettier than me."

A dark glint flashed in the Flower Demon’s eyes, but it was quickly concealed. She smiled and said, "I think so too."

Looking around excitedly, she said, "So many pretty sisters, are you all Brother Qin Yi’s women?"

Qin Wan’er laughed gently, "You’re mistaken, we’re all his relatives."

"Are you Sister Wan’er?" The Flower Demon tilted her head and asked.

Qin Wan’er nodded with a smile.

"Brother Qin Yi said he has a very pretty and smart sister named Qin Wan’er. He wasn’t lying to me."

Duan Yiyi stepped forward, "Little sister, didn’t the little husband ever mention me to you?"

The Flower Demon looked at Duan Yiyi, blinking her big eyes, "Are you Sister Yiyi? Brother Qin Yi mentioned you to me."

Although knowing the Flower Demon was just making it up, Duan Yiyi was still delighted and couldn’t help but smile.

The sudden appearance of the Flower Demon took Mo Buwen and Nan ZaiXu by surprise. At this moment, Nan ZaiXu couldn’t leave. If the Flower Demon teamed up with Mo Buwen, there’d be no room for him.

"Sister Xiaobing, if anyone bullies you, just tell me. I’ll help you beat them up. I’m very strong," the Flower Demon nodded her head seriously as she spoke.

"Sure!" Xia Yanbing smiled, then looked at Nan ZaiXu and Mo Buwen, "Since we’re all my husband’s friends, why not stay and have a meal together?"

"Sorry to impose," Nan ZaiXu quickly said, worried about finding a way to stay.

"Let’s sit down and chat. Linlin, serve everyone some tea."

The group sat down.

Mo Buwen looked at Yun Mengyao with a smile, "Fairy Yun, who was the masked person that saved you last time?"

Yun Mengyao laughed, "He’s also a friend of Qin Yi."

"What masked person?" Nan ZaiXu asked curiously.

Mo Buwen’s eyes darkened, "A very powerful figure, whose cultivation is not below ours, gravely injuring Murong Qianxun with one punch."

Nan ZaiXu’s expression was surprised.

A glint of surprise also flashed in the Flower Demon’s big eyes.

Mo Buwen continued to look at Yun Mengyao, "So he is also a friend of Qin Yi. As a friend of Qin Yi, he’s also a friend of mine, Mo Buwen. There was some misunderstanding last time. Fairy Yun, could you tell me who he is? To avoid any future misunderstandings."

"I don’t know who he is either. He saved me, then sent me back and left, only saying he was an old friend of Qin Yi. As for his identity..." Yun Mengyao shrugged apologetically, "I’m afraid I can’t help."

The Flower Demon and Nan ZaiXu’s eyes flickered slightly. Another person claiming to be Qin Yi’s friend emerged. There are only a hundred people on the young strong list, and though the cake is only so big, more people want a piece of it. They must speed up and strive for the largest share.

The three were all calculating in their hearts.

On the second floor, Qin Yi restrained himself, secretly observing the three below.

He had met Mo Buwen; Nan ZaiXu was the same type of person, a deeply deceitful smiling fox.

But the Flower Demon was elusive to Qin Yi. This little girl had an inexplicably strange power lurking within, a terrifying power suppressing something. Moreover, the Flower Demon, at the age of twelve or thirteen, gave him an old and wise feel. Her cuteness seemed artificial, yet also innately. Overall, this little girl felt odd to him.

Regardless, these three people were no ordinary individuals and could not be taken lightly.

But what were they actually planning? For the division of the hundred young strong on the list only?

This matter requires asking Azure Dragon to find out more, to investigate these three thoroughly. Know your enemy to win a hundred battles.

Both Nan ZaiXu and Mo Buwen displayed mildness and courtesy, easy to leave a favorable impression.

The Flower Demon behaved entirely like an innocent, naive little girl.

They took their leave after lunch, saying they would stay in Yinfeng City for a few days, offering to help if any of Qin Yi’s enemies caused trouble.

...

...

After the trio left, Qin Yi appeared.

"After observing for so long, did you see anything?" Yun Mengyao asked.

"I saw something!" Duan Yiyi raised her hand like a schoolchild.

"Hmm?" Qin Yi curiously looked at her, "What did you see?"

Duan Yiyi raised her head, "Those three are not good people."

Everyone was speechless. That goes without saying. Would good people use the names of the dead to act?

Duan Yiyi, seeing disbelief, got anxious, "I really saw it. Nan ZaiXu and Mo Buwen are scoundrels. They cover it well, but those disgusting glances can’t be hidden."

"I agree with what Yiyi said," Xia Yanbing nodded slightly, "Those two look at us as if we’re trapped prey with no escape."

"See, the beauty also noticed. Those two guys must be perverts," Duan Yiyi was very satisfied with Xia Yanbing’s validation.

Qin Yi smiled, "What else did you notice?"

"And that Flower Demon, her innocence is all an act," Duan Yiyi asserted.

"Hmm?" Qin Yi was surprised. That aligned with his feeling as well.

Qin Wan’er whispered, "I also feel that the Flower Demon’s innocent act is too obvious. A truly naïve girl wouldn’t act like that."

Lin Hongzhuang scoffed, "This doesn’t need observation. Just use your brain. A twelve or thirteen-year-old girl, with astonishing cultivation, rivalling Nan ZaiXu and Mo Buwen, can’t be ordinary."

Ugh...

Everyone was dumbfounded, upon thinking, that made sense. They overthought, forgetting the most obvious logic.

"In conclusion, these three are not simple and must be dealt with carefully," Yun Mengyao said.

Qin Yi nodded slightly.

"Right now, the most important thing is..." Qin Yi paused halfway, everyone looked at him, waiting for the next part; Qin Yi thought for a moment, seriously said, "...I’m still hungry."

The girls were stunned, and then three black lines appeared on their foreheads.

"Little husband, I left food for you, a lot. I’ll eat with you. Those three were so disgusting, I didn’t touch my chopsticks," Duan Yiyi ran into the kitchen and brought out the food kept for Qin Yi.

Qin Yi smiled contently; this little girl understood him.

"What are you doing?"

Qin Yi just sat at the dining table, raised his bowl, and saw the girls gathering around, looking at him eagerly.

"Husband, honestly, I didn’t eat earlier either. Being hungry doesn’t bother me, but what about the baby?"

"Me neither."

"Brother, I’m hungry too..."

Qin Yi: "..."

Moments later, Qin Yi looked at the empty plates and bowls, wanting to cry but unable to shed a tear, "You guys didn’t leave me anything." At the bottom of a bowl, there was a grain of rice; it was left by Xia Yanbing. Qin Yi picked it up and put it in his mouth, tears in his eyes, looking small, pitiful, and helpless.
