Chapter 279 The Return Journey



"Do you want some? I don't have many with me, so I can't give you much." Qinghe took a couple of bites of the jerky, and when she noticed Wang Yao staring at her, she raised the jerky in her hand and waved it at him.

"Um...no need, we immortals don't need to eat, but I do have some food here..."

Wang Yao was stunned for a moment, then shook his head. Remembering that there was still some level 7 insect meat left over from Hui Shuo's meal and given by Lady Lian in Qiankun, he walked to Qing He's side, picked up some withered branches and leaves, used "Fire Control" to light a small campfire, and took out the insect meat to roast over the fire.

In no time, the campfire made their faces glow red. Qinghe stared at Wang Yao for a while, then sniffed, and a rich aroma of meat wafted out.

“You’re attracting ferocious beasts by acting like this,” Qinghe said.

"It's alright. If a ferocious beast really comes, just run away. Don't worry about me," Wang Yao said with a smile, flipping the meat in his hand over. He had been using "fire control" for so long that his body was no longer so sensitive to the scorching heat of flames.

"Tch, I called you a coward, and you're still not happy?" Qinghe rolled her eyes at Wang Yao, then looked around. "Don't worry, this is still the heartland of the Yi Clan. There won't be any powerful beasts here, and even if they did, they'd probably be no match for me."

Wang Yao smiled but didn't answer. The worm meat in his hand was already sizzling and dripping oil. He had to keep a close eye on it so it wouldn't burn.

"Hey, does my sister Qin Su really like you?" Qinghe suddenly asked.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Wang Yao's hand trembled, and he couldn't help but roll his eyes at Qinghe.

"That's right, I don't see what's so great about you, you coward... No! It must be that you think your immortal status is so great that you look down on my sister Qin Su, right? I just don't understand, sister Qin Su is beautiful and has a good personality, what's so great about you being an immortal?"

As Qinghe spoke, she suddenly began to defend Qin Su.

"Hey, can't you just eat? Stop talking so much!" Wang Yao said, somewhat annoyed.

"Why would I eat dried meat when there's fresh meat to eat?" Qinghe chuckled. Only then did Wang Yao realize that she had already put away the dried meat in her hand.

"Hey, you coward, isn't that what I'm saying? When you first saw my sister, you must have been tempted by her beauty, but you didn't want a dignified immortal like yourself to marry a female ghost, so you deliberately used sweet words to trick my sister into falling in love with you."

"Then you pretend to be serious and talk to Sister Qin Su about those clichéd brother-sister lines, keeping her on and off. Basically, when you want to flirt with her, you're her lover; when you want to act like a serious immortal, you're her brother. In short, Sister Qin Su can't escape you."

"I bet you're waiting for an opportunity, either after a big drinking session or after some minor injury. Then you can hug your sister and spout nonsense like 'I don't care about forever, I just want to have her for a moment,' and trick her into giving herself to you."

"Afterwards, you'll put on an innocent act and say things like, 'I'm sorry, I couldn't control myself, I've always treated you like a little sister,' etc. It's all just those weak and meaningless words."

Qinghe imitated Wang Yao's voice, and it was surprisingly similar, leaving Wang Yao dumbfounded and giving him goosebumps.

"Now that you've said such things, it's no use for your older sister to keep bothering you. You've always treated her like a younger sister, so she can only blame herself and swallow her anger. She might even end up comforting you instead."

"So you succeeded in your scheme, taking advantage of your sister while remaining irresponsible and continuing to live the carefree life of an immortal. You call this casting a long line to catch a big fish, am I right?" Qinghe stared at Wang Yao and asked, word by word.

"Are you ever going to shut up?!" Wang Yao suddenly stood up. "Are you really stupid or just pretending? When have you ever seen an immortal and a ghost as husband and wife? Immortals and ghosts can't even hold hands! And you're talking about hugging each other? How could you even think of that?!"

Qinghe thought too much of herself, which truly enraged Wang Yao.

"Why can't immortals and ghosts hold hands?" Qinghe asked, her face full of astonishment.

"When you met Qin Su, did I warn you not to run into her? If you had run into her, you would have been injured. If I had run into Qin Su, she would have been annihilated. Do you understand? My immortal body is the nemesis of a ghost body. Do you understand?"

"Playing the long game? What the hell is that on your head?" Wang Yao said angrily.

"So...so ghost bodies are so pitiful? Then...why don't you help your sister change her ghost body? Ghost bodies should be able to be changed, right?" Qinghe didn't care about Wang Yao's attitude and asked him other questions.

"How could I not? When I left the underworld, I specifically asked the fairy to arrange for Qin Su to be reincarnated. But unlike you, when she heard that we were going to the demon realm to capture the culprit of the corpse qi disease, she didn't have time to reincarnate and rushed to the demon realm to help."

Wang Yao said irritably, deliberately changing the name of the Holy Realm to the Demon Realm.

"What do you mean they're not like me? I'm a member of the Underworld's Manhunt Team now, just like Sister Qin Su." Qinghe didn't mind Wang Yao calling the Holy Realm the Demon Realm. She retorted to Wang Yao, then rolled her eyes and looked puzzled again.

"But I'm still very curious. She likes you so much, and she could be reincarnated, so why doesn't she reincarnate? Instead, she comes here to catch the culprit of the corpse aura disease. Is catching the culprit of the corpse aura disease more important than her love? You must be the coward who did something to her, right?"

As Qinghe spoke, she glared intently at Wang Yao once again.

Wang Yao was incredibly frustrated. Why did it have to be him again? When Qin Su decided to come to the Demon Realm, he was in the Immortal Realm absorbing spiritual energy and drinking wine, okay? What bad things could he possibly do?
