God of Pets

Chapter 482 My Wife
"Qin Qiu, what are you doing here?" Gong Mingwang asked, staring at Qin Qiu.

"That's what I should be asking you. What are you doing barging into my territory without even saying hello?" Qin Qiu said loudly.

"When did this Spirit Ruins Secret Realm become your Qin family's territory? Who assigned the Spirit Ruins Secret Realm to your Qin family? Who agreed to it?" Gong Mingwang said coldly.

"It's hard to say whether the Spirit Ruins Secret Realm will belong to our Qin family in the future, but right now this place belongs to me, Qin Qiu. You don't even know about the Giant Nest Convention, do you?" Qin Qiu said calmly.

"Is this the Qin family's giant lair?" Gong Mingwang was slightly taken aback.

He was naturally aware of the Giant Nest Convention. This was because the Spirit Ruins Secret Realm had been too chaotic before, and a convention was signed by the ten major families. The convention stipulated that within the vicinity of a giant nest that already had an owner and had been certified, other forces were not allowed to hunt or attack each other.

This is to ensure that the giant nest can be used as a trading platform; otherwise, no one would be safe, and who would dare to trade there?

Qin Qiu pointed in the direction he came from: "Go see for yourself."

Gong Mingwang walked to the reconnaissance telescope and looked in the direction Qin Qiu pointed. He indeed saw a nest that resembled a giant sycamore tree without leaves.

"Even if there is a giant lair of your Qin family here, we have not violated the agreement, hunted any secret spirits, or had any conflicts with anyone. It's none of your business, Young Master Qin," Gong Mingwang said.

"Since you haven't done anything, what are you doing here?" Qin Qiu asked.

"What we do has nothing to do with you, Young Master Qin," Gong Mingwang said.

"If I didn't see it, then it's none of my business; if I did see it, then it's my business," Qin Qiu said matter-of-factly.

"What do you want?" Gong Mingwang frowned.

"Take your dragon knights and leave here immediately." Qin Qiu wasn't trying to make things difficult for them; he just wanted them to leave.

"Whether we leave or not is not up to us; you have to ask him," said Li Hui, the deputy commander standing next to Gong Mingwang, pointing at Chen Guan.

Qin Qiu was slightly surprised and looked at Chen Guan, only to find that he did not recognize the man.

"Who are you from Tianxu Palace?" Qin Qiu asked, trying to recall.

The Qin family has information on people of higher status than Gong Mingwang, and Qin Qiu has also read through their records, but this person is not among them.

That's why Qin Qiu thought he was a high-ranking member of Tianxu Palace. Tianxu Palace was a power of the Gong family, but it also recruited many powerful people from other families.

"My name is Zi Donglai, and I am not a member of Tianxu Palace," Chen Guan said.

"That's strange. If you're not from Tianxu Palace, how come you're in charge of the Flying Dragon Knights?" Qin Qiu asked, looking at Chen Guan with interest.

“If you beat them into submission, they will naturally obey,” Chen Guan said bluntly.

Chen Guan could easily see through Gong Mingwang and Li Hui's intentions, so he didn't give them any face at all.

Qin Qiu laughed upon hearing this: "So the Flying Dragon Knights were captured. That's quite interesting news. Others will definitely be very happy to know this."

"Zi Donglai, you are a good person, but unfortunately, I have things to do right now and can't chat with you any longer. Please take your prisoners and leave now."

"We haven't broken any rules here, so why are we being asked to leave?" Chen Guan asked thoughtfully.

“Normally, you can stay here without any problem, but now our families are here to research and try to break through the Wall of Sighs, which may affect you and cause you some trouble, so we have to ask you to leave first.” Qin Qiu spoke frankly, but also somewhat domineeringly.

"I wonder if I could participate in your research?" Chen Guan asked, a thought stirring within him. The Wall of Sighs was too eerie; he dared not risk his Evil Spirit Blood Sword. If he could participate in Qin Qiu's plan, it might not be a bad thing.

“We have no cooperation with Tianxu Palace,” Qin Qiu said.

“I’m not a member of Tianxu Palace either,” Chen Guan said.

"Then tell me your family name," Qin Qiu said.

“If I can’t explain my background, Qin Qiu wouldn’t let me participate in this plan, but I can’t reveal my true identity.” Chen Guan thought for a moment and looked at Qin Qiu, saying, “Could you please come inside and talk, Mr. Qin? My identity is a bit special, and I can only tell you, Mr. Qin. I hope you can keep my secret.”

"This person has never been one to talk much." Qin Qiu was quite interested in someone who had the ability and the courage to capture the Flying Dragon Knights and Gong Mingwang.

Qin Qiu and his two companions immediately retrieved their giant pets and landed on the back of the giant sea turtle.

"Young Master Qin, please." Chen Guan ushered Qin Qiu into the hall.

Qin Qiu had the other two wait outside the hall before going in with Chen Guan.

Fujimi closed the door from the outside and stood guard at the entrance to prevent anyone from eavesdropping.

Inside the palace, Chen Guan said to Qin Qiu, "What I said today is only valid here. Once we leave this room, no matter what you say, I will not accept it. I hope you will understand."

"It's alright," Qin Qiu nodded.

“My wife’s surname is Jin, and her given name is Taohua,” Chen Guan said, looking at Qin Qiu.

Qin Qiu looked surprised upon hearing this and immediately believed it to some extent.

The female demon Jin Taohua can be considered a public enemy of the whole country. Even if she wanted to keep her identity secret, no one would think of impersonating her.

"I've heard that Jin Taohua is extremely beautiful, and she has a beauty mark under her left eye that makes her even more endearing and unforgettable. I wonder if that's true?" Qin Qiu didn't turn against Chen Guan just because he was a female demon.

Chen Guan knew he had passed the test. When he was with the female demon, she mentioned the ten major families and spoke disrespectfully of the Gong family and several others, but she did not say anything disrespectful to the Qin family and a few others.

It's likely that the Qin family wasn't among those who attacked her, which is why Chen Guan decided to try this approach.

If he guesses wrong, that's fine. If Qin Qiu tries to make things difficult for him, he can just take down Qin Qiu and take over their achievements.

"Young Master Qin must be mistaken. My lady does not have a beauty mark under her eye." Chen Guan had spent quite a bit of time with Jin Taohua and was well aware of this, so he was not afraid of Qin Qiu's test.

Qin Qiu nodded: "I wonder what the relationship is between Brother Zi and Jin Taohua?"

“Peach Blossom is my wife,” Chen Guan said calmly.

Qin Qiu was stunned for a moment, staring blankly at Chen Guan, before finally saying, "Brother Zi... you are truly an upright person..."

He couldn't fathom what kind of person would impersonate the female demon's husband and dare to rob the Flying Dragon Knights of Tianxu Palace. Unless they had a very deep relationship with the female demon, they wouldn't have done such a thing.

"Brother Qin, may I participate in your plan to break through the Wailing Wall?" Chen Guan asked.

"There's nothing wrong with that, but Brother Zi, given your identity, you shouldn't say anything carelessly in the future. Once you leave this room, I won't hear anything from you," Qin Qiu said with a smile. He had no grudge against Jin Taohua, but he didn't want to be associated with the female demon. He simply pretended not to know Chen Guan's identity.
