Chapter 610: Chapter 305: The Lady’s Death_2
Li An waited patiently for three years, ultimately finding himself left with no choice but to decide to leave — if he leaves, Lady Yi will surely appear.
After all, the hope of reconstructing Lady Yi’s flesh and blood still lies with him, and the chips of victory are still in his hands.
But if he just leaves empty-handed after three years of mourning, wouldn’t Li An seem overly righteous, morally flawless? Such an image would make Lady Yi suspicious and wary, so he went so far as to nearly strip Lady Yi clean.
After a series of mind battles, he finally lured Lady Yi to appear.
Now, the teapot lid was in her hand, and it was evident that her suspicion and wariness towards Li An had completely vanished.
Actually, using the teapot lid against Lady Yi was an idea Li An had entertained.
But...
This thing is overly destructive, too powerful.
Once deployed, Lady Yi could be wiped out, and it would also cause great turmoil across the entire sea.
If that happens, although Lady Yi is dead, many secrets she holds would remain unknown to Li An.
Additionally, it would attract attention from the outside world, even from the Exotic Realm. If people from the Exotic Realm arrive, they will undoubtedly analyze the situation and conclude that Lady Yi is dead. By then, how could Li An infiltrate the Exotic Realm to seize the Hongmeng Immortal Light?
At most, he could just hide the teapot lid away.
Moreover, Yi Lingwei and others from the Yi Clan would quickly target Li An.
Lady Yi had been hunted for years after her death, likely because of the teapot lid. Now that Lady Yi is dead, Li An becomes the prime suspect, leaving him no place to stay in the Exotic Realm!
It’s very inappropriate.
After much thought, Li An decided to return the teapot lid to the other party.
He would have to find another way to kill her.
"My dear, I’m not sure when I’ll be back from this trip, so I took your personal belonging as a keepsake to comfort my future longing..."
Li An blushed and spoke.
Luckily, Lady Yi didn’t pursue the matter of his stealing her jewelry and said, "Husband, aren’t you going to bring the jewelry here and put it on me?"
Li An walked over, and as soon as he reached the edge of the coffin, Lady Yi’s sleeve flew out, pulling him in, and he fell into the coffin, bumping into Lady Yi.
At a glance, Lady Yi, who had just looked like a corpse, now had peachy cheeks, almond eyes, a rosy face, and her eyes seemed to flow with spring water, her body soft like a cloud.
...
After a long time.
There was no doubt, Li An was thoroughly examined inside out, even personally checked by Lady Yi’s tongue.
Confirming he indeed had no problems, Lady Yi finally relaxed.
"Husband, what happened during your trip? Tell me, as I haven’t been out for many years."
Lady Yi asked softly, lying on his chest.
Li An recounted how he hid near the Dao Sect’s defense line, sneaked into the Exotic Realm after the defense line was breached, found the Yi Clan, was unexpectedly caught as a prisoner, how he bribed Yi Wei, and eventually made indirect contact with Yi Lingxue, and was rescued by Yi Lingwei.
About his identity as a Dao Sect disciple, his contact with Gong Shanqing, and later his encounters with Shangguan Xiaoxiao, he naturally kept those a secret.
Lady Yi listened to everything, and upon hearing that Yi Lingwei selected Mangya Mountain in Bian Province and that the Immortal Attraction Platform was starting to take shape, a touch of happiness appeared in her eyes.
She was extremely intelligent and naturally could discern whether Li An’s words were true or false. Regarding the intricate power dynamics within the Yi Clan, the situation in Bian Province, etc., if Li An hadn’t personally been involved, he wouldn’t know such details.
"Did Yi Lingwei give you anything else when she sent you back?"
She asked.
Li An felt a stir in his heart but remained calm, taking out some small formation flags and said, "She said the Spirit Realm will eventually become a pig farm, and instructed me to place these flags in various famous mountains and blessed places, so they become the Yi Clan’s territory, untouchable by others."
Lady Yi lazily glanced at them, not too suspicious, since she had just checked Li An’s storage rings and bags, knowing his belongings well.
She would never have guessed that Li An carried an immortal coffin personally gifted by the Purple Fairy, made from Primal Stones, hidden in his Dantian, wrapped in the Life Seed’s aura, making it impossible for others to sense.
"That Yi Lingwei is quite honest, without a hint of covetousness..."
She muttered.
Li An suddenly added, "By the way, my lady, one more detail. The first time I saw Yi Lingwei, she had a small tattoo of a flower on her neck, small and cute. When I met her again before leaving, she hadn’t just one but a cluster."
Lady Yi laughed, "You wicked thing, focusing on my great-granddaughter’s neck instead of something else. Are you trying to charm her after subduing the grandmother?"
She teased, but Li An wasn’t embarrassed, just laughingly said, "My lady, what are you saying! I am her grandfather after all. If I had such intentions, I’d be no better than a beast..."
"But your observation is quite accurate. Hehe, do you know why I’m confident that my direct descendants will assist you?"
Li An shook his head.
