We have to find a way to get everyone out of trouble.

But Xia Jing couldn't think of a way.

The feelings of regret and guilt that Ye Chun and her sister felt dominated their bodies, and even their nerves resisted the order to act.

The sword was first slowly raised upwards towards Lin Yu.

Just when Xia Jing desperately wanted to act, ready to catch Ye Chun and wanted to delay-

An unexpected figure lends a hand.

"Wait."

Although there was an atmosphere of despair and solemnity at the scene, Qiu Yin ignored it as if nothing was there.

She emerges from behind a tree that has been hidden for a long time.

Ye Chun, who raised his sword, Lin Yu, Lan Yang, Nangong, Xia Jing, who was stunned, all turned their heads to face Qiu Yin in unison.

That scene was really funny, and Jiao Qiuyin couldn't help but almost laugh. It's just that Qiu Yin was a little dissatisfied that Ye Ya was the only one among the crowd who didn't react, and he turned his head slowly after everyone took a beat.

Aren't you my rival? What the hell are you in a trance?

Qiu Yin, who thought about it like this, glanced at Ye Ya, I don't know if she understood the meaning of this look.

Autumn Yin found the battlefield just as the weapon was about to be destroyed. Although Li Qi knew that the flute sound played by Nangong was a signal to join Ye Ya, the two immediately set off. Unfortunately, the forest area is vast, and it took longer than expected to reach it. Anyway, it's just too late to catch up with the critical moment.

Since then, the two have been hiding from afar.

The true face of the treasure.

Ye Chun's survival and the truth of the rebellion.

And Ye Chun's purpose -

As for the ability to connect large and small, Qiu Yin had already mastered this information in advance. After all, Ah Le used the sword to heal the injury that had tormented her for seventeen years in front of Qiu Yin.

and poor Yeya who was played with by them.

It's a comical and absurd feast hosted by a monster among monsters.

However, there is one thing in Qiu Yin's eyes that still shows a fly in the ointment -

That was Ye Chun's purpose.

Summer view. For him, just to marry him, Ye Chunce painted all this.

In other words, the banquet held by the monster within the monster, the protagonist is only a human being, which is unforgivable. It is this that Qiu Yin is dissatisfied with.

The monster should be like a monster, dancing obediently in the cemetery at night, why should it show its head in front of the eyes of humans?

The only person who is qualified to do this, who can show his figure generously in front of humans, who can mingle with humans, is me, a monster who was born as a human. It's not an out-of-the-earth monster.

That's right.

How can I give Xia Jing and my beloved - to these monsters.

"You're too much for me."

Qiu Yin said, "...... You see you're leaving me aside, sneaking up on something good? Nangong, didn't you put me along? I never thought this would be your purpose."

However, Qiu Yin still adheres to the attitude of being a "Ah Le's daughter".

Nangong and Ye Chun may have known that Qiu Yin was a human for a long time. However, it stands to reason that they will not know what Qiu Yin's plans are and what the purpose of his actions is.

Qiu Yin's style of doing things has been consistent all the way. It is not easy for people to see through the spiritual structure of the existence of Autumn Yin. When it comes to deception - monsters can't win over humans.

"Acting as a family...... You've been acting in the shadows since the beginning, haven't you? He even did not hesitate to sacrifice his friend Adai, and worked tirelessly to become the patriarch."

「…… Qiu Yin, what are you doing?"

Nangong cast a sharp gaze.

"Didn't you promise me not to come?"

"Oh, that's your unilateral decision, and I didn't accept it."

Qiu Yin responded to Nangong's murderous aura with his own expression, and said in a harsh tone, "Besides, the description 'you promised me not to come' is not quite correct, right? You don't want me to come. Because once I let me know Ye Chun's love for Xia Jing...... I'm not going to sit idly by."

Qiu Yin smiled.

Smile brightly.

With it is hatred that even I am not aware of—that I can't understand because I haven't experienced it.

"I see, what you said really makes sense, Nangong. The ...... of the World What distorts this world is undoubtedly love, yes. Ye Chun's love for Xia Jing's classmate distorted everything and made everything out of control. Not only ruined the deer clan, but also ruined the summer scene. What an amazing cruel romance of love."

Qiu Yin glanced at Ye Chun.

She put on a face that she couldn't watch her feelings and stared coldly at Qiu Yin. Hui Huang's gaze makes it impossible to associate with that childish appearance. After all, in terms of age, she is still older than Qiu Yin, and it may be normal for her mind to be far more mature than her appearance, but that wise and high-pressure attitude makes Qiu Yin feel like she saw herself when she was a child.

Ye Chun opened his mouth and said, "Autumn Yin...... What are your intentions?"

Qiu Yin only replied briefly, "Truce and fight again."

She smiled again at Ye Chun, who frowned in surprise, and then, she used a blender to combine the full of deception and provocation, and then shake and mix it evenly, and then carefully concocted mean words, and coldly sprinkled Ye Chun: "This situation is not fair at all. Xia Jing has lost his cool, you are now taking advantage of others. If you can't capture his heart without such vile methods, then you are proving by your own deeds that your heart is false at best. You're not happy to see that, are you?"

"Are you fooling me?"

Ye Chun glared coldly as expected, that face full of majesty and coldness was indeed terrifying. It's understandable that ordinary people just tremble to stiff their legs - if they are ordinary people.

"Fool? It's nothing. Now that you claim to be the patriarch of the Deer Clan, I know that you don't care about that kind of despicable behavior at all. But what...... Well, if the dignity of the deer patriarch allows you to use that dirty means to capture a man's heart, that's a different story."

However, Qiu Yin is not an ordinary person.

In the past 17 years of her life, she has always been on the side of fear.

She couldn't have been terrified of monsters.

"You seem to be very good at talking."

But Ye Chun is not a fuel-efficient lamp either.

She remained calm and showed no signs of anger.

"Did Xia Jing and I make you so dissatisfied?"

"From Xia Jing's point of view, this is not a positive result, it is just being driven out of the shelves. At least you don't want me to think you're invincible."

「…… Hmph."

Ye Chun seemed to breathe a sigh of some pleasure.

"It's like the plot of a story. It feels like you are like a vassalier trying to convince the king with reason."

"What I'm saying is reasonable...... It's just that I'm not your retainer."

- I'm going to have to work harder.

Autumn Yin decides to take the final step to convince the king.

"I confess that you are king, but I am only a branch, and I have no measure of yours. But...... No, that's why I'm even more insistent on a truce."

"Truce and fight? What do you want to do?"

Ye Chun lowered his sword slightly, and the light of the sword disappeared with it.

It seemed like she was willing to sit down and have a discussion.

However, strictly speaking, the person who was forced to sit at the negotiating table was actually Qiu Yin. As Ye Chun said, it is an eternal practice that the king will be subjugated to reasonable arguments.

However, the end will be to divide the head or get praise, depending on the eloquence of the speaker.

- Come on, this is the last step.

Qiu Yin was so nervous that she began to negotiate.

"That's all I have to say. If you retreat now, I will retreat for the time being. After that, we will compete in a grand and honest manner to see who can truly capture Xia Jing's heart."

"Hmph...... Do you think Xia Jing will take a fancy to your kind of goods?"

"If you are so confident, what do you have to lose by accepting the challenge? If you can't accept it, doesn't it mean that you're scared—are you afraid that Xia Jing will like my future?"

「…… Are you picking on my language?"

Although Ye Chun seems to be calm on the surface, after Qiu Yin hit this hand, if she can't hold her breath and kills Qiu Yin, it is equivalent to acquiescing to the fact that she is "at a loss". Such a result should be avoided if she can avoid it.

- So the next thing is to give her the stairs.

"Can't you accept it? Then I'll make a condition for you."

"Conditions?"

"Yes. If you promise to retreat now, I will return Li Qi to you."

"Li Qi......?"

Hearing the names of relatives and friends, Ye Ya trembled. Qiu Yin didn't even pay attention to it, and now she is not worthy of being Qiu Yin's opponent.

"Li Qi, her skills are among the best in the clan. To get her as a bargaining chip, it should be a surefire deal."

The person who transferred Li Qi here was Qiu Yin.

At present, she has no free will, and she is obedient to Qiu Yin. She was ordered to wait in the forest, and as soon as Qiu Yin gave the order, she would rush forward.

"Isn't that a condition you're prescribing too lacking in incentives? As long as I kill Ye Ya and the others on the spot, no one can help me, and there is no need to strengthen my combat strength at all."

"Exactly. But...... Don't forget, all I want is Xia Jing. In other words, if I don't get Xia Jing, I don't care what will happen to me."

I've given in. If you still don't accept that......

"If you insist on refusing to retreat, we will have to fight you on the spot. Even if I don't have a chance of winning, I'll tear off one or two of your arms and bury them together."

…… That's a threat.

"Autumn Singing...... Have you had enough trouble!"

Nangong glared at Qiu Yin viciously.

- You're no match for me, either.

Qiu Yin just stared at Ye Chun, didn't look at Nangong, and sneered indifferently.

"Fight me, can you really come out unscathed?"

In the end, he didn't blush and didn't breathe - he opened his mouth.

Qiu Yin hadn't told anyone that the phantom beast had already been destroyed. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that Xia Jing has already revealed this news to Nangong, but he can only choose to believe Xia Jing in a desperate bet. If luck is really so unlucky, it is destined that Xia Jing will not fall in love with him no matter what, Qiu Yin has already had such psychological preparations.

"Make a choice. Are you going to start fighting on the spot, or are you going to temporarily withdraw your troops and fight me another day? I've made the biggest concessions, and the terms offered are not bad, right?"

- Tell me, what about your decision?

Qiu Yin exhausted all means and pursed her lips into a straight line.

After a few seconds of silence.

「…… Ye Chun, what should I do?"

Nangong frowned deeply and asked the master for instructions.

Ye Chun, she-

"Huh...... Interesting."

With a smile slowly on his face, he withdrew his sword from its sheath.

"Okay, Autumn Yin. I will accept your terms."

"Is that good?" Nangong asked wordlessly with his eyes.

"It doesn't matter, there's still something waiting for us to deal with it anyway. In the case of being troubled by all kinds of difficulties, I will not be happy to get married to Xia Jing. Further......

Ye Chun looked at Xia Jing and smiled lightly.

"I've been able to wait for ten years, and just a few days is nothing."

Hearing this, Qiu Yin respectfully greeted with his eyes-

"Thank you for your magnanimity, Patriarch."

— and at the same time sneering contemptuously in the heart.

"Li Qi!"

However, the good conditions still have to be practiced, Qiu Yin shouted to the forest behind him.

"You've heard everything, so henceforth you will obey them."

Li Qi did not reply. Anyway, even if she is left alone, she will obey orders.

So Qiu Yin re-faced Ye Chun.

"If you give the order later, she'll follow...... Then, I'll send Xia Jing back to town. Don't worry, I won't seduce him while you're away."

「…… You won't be allowed."

Ye Chun frowned and looked away from Qiu Yin's face.

"Ana!"

"Yes, Miss."

Anaibi replied respectfully to Ye Chun.

"Take me back to the House of the Lost...... Ya, the house belonged to me in the first place, and I will take it back."

"Ah......h

Ye Ya slowly raised his face, as if turning the word "despair" into an expression.

「…… Sister."

Xia Jing also made an angry sound.

He yelled at Ana, "Don't go, sister! No way...... How can you go with that man, I ......."

"Don't worry, Natsujing."

Ye Chun turned around and walked towards Xia Jing, squatting down with the height of his gaze.

"You can wait patiently for a few more days, you don't have to wade in this muddy water anymore, and live an ordinary life. When the dust settles...... Jaya and I will meet you."

「…… Ahh

Ye Chun stroked Xia Jing's cheek with pity and smiled softly before standing up again.

And finally—

"Yaya."

- She coldly warned her biological sister.

"Today, I'll see Qiu Yindi's face and let you go. Before the next meeting, you should cherish your little life."

Ye Chun turned around and left.

Nangong and the twins followed closely behind, and Anai also turned his back on Ye Ya and the others.

"I'm sorry, Ya-sama."

As he was leaving, Anai turned his neck slightly, bowing his head expressionlessly.

"However, Ana is the lady-in-waiting of the eldest lady."

She no longer calls Ye Ya the eldest lady.

And he turned a blind eye to Xia Jing and the blue sun, and just disappeared into the depths of the forest.

By the time Ye Chun and his party left, it would take about ten seconds.

Xia Jing exerted force on his whole body, and finally stood up.

Turmoil occurred one after another in one breath, which dealt a serious blow to him.

In fact, Xia Jing wanted to cry loudly on the spot, but Qiu Yin, who looked at him and smiled, made him unable to get his wish.

Thanks to Ye Chun and the others leaving here, Xia Jing was able to stand up. Because as soon as they leave, they don't have to rush to face the problems of their sister and themselves - Xia Jing also knows in his heart that this is just escaping reality, but he will still be wrong. Because if you don't do this, you will collapse a long time ago.
