529: Chapter 529 Skinning and Muscle-Pulling

"Alright, you should go home and take a look first. As for King Yu and the others, we'll go over and talk to them in a while. As for Ye Qing, he should be surrounded by the Clan Chiefs of the Families in the Imperial Capital right now. After all, Ye Qing successfully protected the Imperial Capital Barrier this time, and those Families are very eager to meet him. King Yu had previously said that he would let them meet Ye Qing once we returned from the Fissure, so it wouldn't be good to go back on his word now..."

Liu Qian said, and Qin Xin nodded, "Alright, then I'll leave the matter with King Yu to you."

"As for Ye Qing, there's no rush. After all, Ye Qing's Enthronement Ceremony hasn't been held yet. Let's wait until after the Enthronement Ceremony is over..."

"I'm heading off first."

Qin Xin said, then waved his hand, dragging the animal skin bag as he walked off into the distance.

Leaving a group of old men staring at that animal skin bag, all of them dumbfounded.

Good grief.

Just like that?

With so many good things, he didn't even leave them a little; that's really not very friendly.

"He left in such a hurry. With so many good things, he didn't even know to let us take another look."

"Alright, alright, stop talking. You think it's as simple as just wanting to take a look? I think the Qin kid has seen right through you, which is why he didn't say anything and just took it all away."

One of the old men rolled his eyes at Liu Qian and immediately said this. Liu Qian looked at them and felt helpless.

Good grief, is that how you think of me? Am I really that kind of person?

Huh?!

In an instant, Liu Qian began to roar in his heart... but it was of no use.

"Alright, let's discuss this. The news Qin Xin brought back this time is truly shocking. On the other side of the Fissure, there is actually such a world. In other words, it's very likely that all these exotic beasts we have now ran out from there?"

"Didn't the Qin kid say that the exotic beasts inside are of a relatively high Rank?"

"We don't know about that. However, they should have indeed run out from there before. It's just that now, because of the black fog, the worlds are isolated, and very few exotic beasts have come out from the Fissure."

"Looking at it this way, the black fog actually protected us, preventing those powerful exotic beasts from coming out. If it weren't for that black fog, those exotic beasts would probably have already come out of the Fissure and started ravaging everything."

"Hmm, that's true. And here we were blaming Ye Qing for doing something wrong by having him burn away so much black fog."

Liu Qian waved his hand. "The black fog that Ye Qing burned is just like the tip of a hair on a cow for the entire Fissure world; it's not worth mentioning at all. Let's go, let's go find King Yu and the others and tell them about this too, to see what their reaction will be. Though, they probably didn't expect such a situation either."

...

Meanwhile.

Far from the Imperial Capital, in a valley.

This place felt like a paradise away from the world.

A Young Woman stood gracefully, her stunningly beautiful face and slender figure, looking as pure and lovely as a girl next door.

Qin Yi looked around, and a huge head popped out from the bushes.

Then.

A colorful bird the size of a mountain emerged from within...

This bird was like a Green Phoenix; although it was huge, it was not lacking in agility. At this moment, it was looking at the Young Woman, its face filled with reverence.

"You gave me a fright."

Qin Yi looked around and sighed. Her brother had been gone for such a long time. When he left, he didn't say where he was going; he just left like that.

As a result, he hadn't returned for so long. Could something have happened to him?

Thinking of this, Qin Yi felt as if her heart had been tightly gripped, and she sighed...

However, her worrying was of no use now. She was just a Wasted Artifact Spirit and had no power to look for her brother.

There was no other way; she could only wait here for her brother to return. After all, as a Wasted Artifact Spirit, even if she went out, she would just be adding trouble for her brother.

"Xiao Qing, do you know where my brother went?"

Screech!

As the Young Woman's voice rang out, the Green Bird immediately let out a cry, as if saying it didn't know.

Then, a gust of wind blew over... bringing some sounds into the Green Phoenix's ears. It looked far into the distance, then let out another cry.

Hmm?

Qin Yi looked at the Green Bird's behavior and was also puzzled. "Xiao Qing, why are you so excited? What's wrong?"

The Green Bird picked up Qin Yi. Qin Yi looked into the distance.

Then, her eyes widened suddenly, and she couldn't believe what she was seeing.

Good heavens.

Isn't that her brother?

Her brother is back.

That's great, that's great.

And, it looks like her brother managed to bring back quite a few good things. After all, that animal skin bag was bulging.

As Qin Xin approached, Qin Yi could no longer contain her excitement and headed towards him.

"Brother, you've finally returned."

"Little sister, how is it? Have things been alright at home while I was gone? Nothing special happened, right?"

"No, with Xiao Qing protecting me, there wouldn't be any problems. It's just that you were gone for such a long time, which made me worried sick."

At these words, Qin Xin patted his little sister's head. His little sister was quite a bit younger than him. After their parents passed away back then, he had raised her single-handedly, feeling very much like a father figure as an older brother.

"You silly girl, no need to worry. Didn't I tell you when I left? I said I would be out for a bit longer this time. Why are you so worried? What could happen to me?"

Listening to her brother's words, Qin Yi rolled her eyes at him. If she didn't know her brother's strength, and didn't know that nothing usually happened when he went out—whenever he went out, it was usually others or other exotic beasts that had problems—if she didn't know these things, she would have long since been unable to sit still and would have gone out to look for him.

She wouldn't have waited until now.

"Alright, don't look at me like that. Look, didn't I bring back good things?" Qin Xin said, patting the animal skin bag.

The Young Woman also looked at the animal skin bag, but then, she froze, stunned on the spot.

This animal skin bag seemed a bit wrong!

The material of this animal skin bag, at a glance, was clearly not from an ordinary exotic beast.

At the very least, it was an exotic beast that had entered the King Rank for a long time.

This could be considered a hegemon-level existence among exotic beasts, yet, even such an exotic beast had been skinned and deboned by her brother...
