Qin Yi squinted slightly, something was wrong. He was clearly sucked into the vortex, yet now he appeared at home. Could it be an illusion?
He suddenly reached out his hand and pinched Qin Wan'er's cheek.
"Ah, that hurts." Qin Wan'er almost cried from the pinch.
Qin Yi hurriedly let go. It was real, he had actually pinched Qin Wan'er's face, the sensation was unmistakably genuine.
"What are you doing? Look, you made Wan'er's face all red." Xia Yanbing's face was full of blame, Qin Wan'er's face was marked with Qin Yi's fingerprints.
Qin Yi was full of remorse, "I'm sorry, Wan'er. I thought I was dreaming, couldn't tell if this was a dream or reality."
Qin Wan'er gently shook her head, "Brother, you were in a coma for a month. It's normal for your mind to be a bit unclear just after waking up."
"I really came back." Qin Yi murmured.
Mo Wuji had told him that he could only stay in the Secret Realm for a month and that once the time was up, a strange force would transport him out of the Secret Realm.
Could that vortex be the portal?
But he had been inside for less than half a month.
"Husband, are you okay?" Xia Yanbing stepped forward and touched Qin Yi's forehead, "No fever, seems like the long coma made your mind a bit unclear."
Qin Yi glanced at Xia Yanbing's belly and immediately grinned, "Wife, is the baby about to be born?"
"Soon, it should be born in another month." Xia Yanbing's face shone with motherly radiance, gently stroking her belly.
Qin Yi also wanted to touch Xia Yanbing's belly, but his hand was slapped away by Xia Yanbing, "You can't touch now, you're heavy-handed. Look how you pinched Wan'er's face, what if you hurt the baby?"
Qin Yi smiled awkwardly, he really had thought he was dreaming.
"Yo, you're awake?"
Yun Mengyao walked in, leaning lazily against the door, still looking the same lazy way, with a handful of sunflower seeds in her hand.
Qin Yi rolled his eyes, how does she look like a Holy Daughter? She's just like a rural lazy woman.
Lin Hongzhuang and Liu Yiren also walked in one after another.
"Qin Yi, how do you feel?" Liu Yiren asked with a giggling smile.
"Pretty good."
"He's as strong as an ox, what could go wrong? It's just you all worrying for nothing." Lin Hongzhuang still had that sarcastic tone, speaking with barbs.
Qin Yi couldn't be bothered to even respond to her.
"Wife, where's Mo Wuji?"
"In the living room."
"Help me call him in, I have something to ask him."
Liu Yiren ran out and soon returned with Mo Wuji.
"Husband, you guys chat, we'll step out first."
Qin Yi nodded.
Xia Yanbing and the others went out, closing the door behind them.
Mo Wuji came over excitedly, "Brother Qin, seeing that you're okay, I'm relieved."
"Old Mo, was it you who brought me back?"
Mo Wuji nodded, "That day, I killed Nancheng Fei and Mo Tianhao. While I was doing Breathing Control to heal, you left. Then we waited for two days but didn't see you, searched everywhere and still couldn't find you. It wasn't until the last few days that we found you in the sand, unconscious."
"And the others?" Qin Yi asked.
"I knew the others couldn't be left, so with Junior Sister Bai, we found and killed them all. Brother Qin, rest assured, this matter won't leak out."
Qin Yi squinted slightly, "Then when you came out, how did you explain it to the people outside?"
"Everyone knows the Secret Realm is full of dangers, going in is a narrow escape. I just made up a reason and got by. However, people from the Fang Family, Lei Family, and Nan Family are all dead, the Mo Family just has me and you surviving. The power of the Five Great Families has shifted, and everything is already developing in the direction you predicted."
"You just said the Mo Family only had you and me surviving, didn't people like Mo Fushui realize I'm not a disciple of Mo Family?"
Mo Wuji smiled, "You have to thank Junior Sister Bai for that, she knows the Disguise Technique. After her makeover, we dressed you up as Ankang. At that time, with people from the Fang Family, Lei Family, and Nan Family all dead, everyone was in shock, and no one suspected your identity."
"What happened afterward?"
Mo Wuji suddenly became excited, "Brother Qin, I've achieved my goal. Mo Tianhao and others are dead, leaving only me. And also, I obtained a large amount of resources in that treasure land, now I'm already the future Family Head of the Mo Family."
"Alright Brother Qin, you just woke up, let's not talk about these things now, healing is the most important."
Qin Yi felt something wasn't right, just as he wanted to speak, suddenly someone pushed the door open and walked in.
"Little husband, you've woken up?"
Qin Yi felt as if struck by lightning, his mind buzzing, he looked up suddenly, and that familiar figure, the playful face, who else but Duan Yiyi?
"Yiyi?" Qin Yi's voice was hoarse, his fingertips trembling.
How could this be possible?
Yiyi was still lying in that cold ice coffin, how could she appear here?
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a bright dagger appeared in Mo Wuji's hand, stabbing lightning-fast towards Qin Yi's chest.
Thud!
Qin Yi instinctively leaned sideways, and the dagger was embedded in his shoulder.
"Are you seeking death?"
Qin Yi raised his hand, Purple Light swept through, with a bang, directly sending Mo Wuji flying into the wall behind, the entire villa shook violently, the wall cracked and caved in.
Thud!
Mo Wuji fell to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
"Little husband?" Duan Yiyi ran towards Qin Yi, her face full of panic, "Little husband, are you alright?"
Duan Yiyi hurriedly tried to stop the blood gushing from Qin Yi's shoulder, tears welling up in her eyes with anxiety.
"Yiyi, I'm fine, don't worry." Qin Yi smiled and comforted her.
"Are you really fine? Soon you'll be in trouble."
Thud!
Qin Yi staggered back in disbelief, looking at the ferociously grinning Duan Yiyi, with a dagger stabbed in his abdomen.
"Qin Yi, take a good look at who I am?"
Duan Yiyi's face twisted into a sneer, her pretty face distorted more and more, slowly changing into Bai Jingqing.
Qin Yi grasped the dagger in his abdomen, his smile bitter and sorrowful, "I knew it, I just knew it... it's all fake."
Duan Yiyi was dead, sleeping in the cold ice coffin. The Duan Yiyi in front of him must be fake, he knew that. Yet he couldn't bear to harm the person who had the same face as Duan Yiyi.
"They say even heroes cannot pass the beauty trap, but you Qin Yi are not a hero, you're an overlord, yet who would've thought you would also be hurt by love. Qin Yi, you're truly a romantic." Mo Wuji climbed up with a menacing face, wiped the blood from his mouth, and said with a cold sneer.
"Why?" Qin Yi asked blandly.
Mo Wuji sneered, "Why don't you know? You wanted to use the two of us to do your bidding, to destroy the Five Great Families. But don't forget, how glorious our Five Great Families are, I will be the future Family Head of the Mo Family. Junior Sister Bai will be the future Pavilion Master of Baihua Pavilion. We will control vast resources and power; how could we let you destroy the Five Great Families?"
