Chapter 79 Lin Yuyan: You're not going to back out now, are you?

Time flew by, and the light curtain at the exit of the Earthfall Secret Realm began to flicker violently, a sign that it was about to close.

Outside the secret area, shadowy figures could be seen everywhere.

Those martial artists who survived by the skin of their teeth inside either roared with excitement or collapsed to the ground covered in blood.

At the edge of the crowd, Lin Yi paced around the large rock like an ant on a hot pan, craning his neck and staring intently at the light screen.

Nobody here?

Still no one!

"Brother-in-law...why aren't you out yet?!"

Lin Yi's eyes reddened with anxiety, and he slammed his fist into his palm.

"If you don't come out soon, Second Sister will be given away by those old bastards to be someone else's concubine!"

"Didn't you say you were going to humiliate the Lin family? Didn't you say you were going to revitalize Tian Shu Peak?!"

Everyone believed that Qin Feng had died in the secret realm, but Lin Yi still firmly believed that his brother-in-law was still alive!

……

Deep within the second level of the Earthfall Secret Realm lies an underground cave.

"Snap—!"

A crisp cracking sound rang out in the silent hall.

The enormous Earthly Fiend Thunder Rhino egg finally cracked open!

Immediately afterwards, a tiny head, wet and covered in pale purple scales, broke through the eggshell and cautiously emerged.

The adult Earthly Fiend Thunder Rhinoceros's eyes were full of love as it lowered its massive head, wanting to lick its child.

however!

The little guy twitched its nose twice, as if it had smelled something extremely tempting. It completely ignored its own mother and took off running, stumbling and staggering, towards the dark crevice in the distance!

Inside the crevice.

Qin Feng and Lin Yuyan were holding their breath, observing the outside world through the narrow hole.

"It moved! It moved!"

Lin Yuyan's palms were sweating with nervousness as she gripped Qin Feng's sleeve tightly.

"Young master... what should we do?"

"That big guy is still outside. If we go out now, wouldn't we be committing suicide?"

Qin Feng narrowed his eyes, watching the cub charging towards him, a confident smile playing on his lips:

"We have to get out."

"The secret realm is about to close. If we don't leave now, we'll be trapped here and die, becoming this giant's neighbor for over a decade!"

"Get...out?"

Lin Yuyan stiffened, a hint of panic flashing in her eyes.

It's not that I'm afraid of dying.

But...

These past few days in this narrow, dark cave, though filled with constant anxiety, have been the happiest and most relaxing time of her life.

There were no family schemes, no pressure of cultivation, only him and her.

Once outside...

Who is he? Where is he going? Will he still treat me as well as he does now?

What if... they pull up their pants and then deny everything, dumping you?

This feeling of gain and loss, like a little claw, made her feel uneasy.

Don't worry.

Qin Feng seemed to see through her thoughts and gently patted the back of her hand:

"I've taken care of that little guy."

"These past few days, during... cough, in that special training, I have completely tamed it."

Lin Yuyan's cheeks flushed instantly, like a ripe apple.

She bit her lip, mustered her courage, and raised her head, her large, watery eyes filled with expectation:

"I...I'm not worried about that."

"Young master..."

"We've already gone through all that... and Yu Yan still doesn't know your name, young master..."

"Could you...tell me?"

Qin Feng looked at the woman in front of him, her eyes full of tenderness, and his Adam's apple bobbed.

Tell her I am Qin Feng?

Tell her I am the useless son-in-law she rejected, humiliated, and treated like dirt?

I bet this woman would be so enraged that she'd go berserk and stab herself to death with a sword.

"Cough cough..."

Qin Feng remained calm and composed, spouting nonsense with a straight face:

"My name is... Huang Yan."

A glint of light flashed in Lin Yuyan's eyes as she gently savored the name, which was as ordinary as could be, as if it were the most beautiful love poem in the world:

"Huangyan...Young Master Huang..."

"Okay! I've got it!"

She nestled into Qin Feng's arms, her voice soft and sweet:

"Huang Lang... Yu Yan will be counting on you from now on."

Qin Feng stiffened, silently repeating to himself:

"I'm so sorry... I lied to you for your own good, and for mine too. It's a win-win situation..."

Let's go!

Qin Feng took a deep breath, took Lin Yuyan's hand, and bent down to walk out of the small cave where they had been hiding for several days.

It had just begun to emerge.

"Waaaah—!"

The little Earthly Fiend Thunder Rhinoceros seemed to have seen its long-lost father, excitedly calling out and its four short legs moving quickly as it charged headlong towards Qin Feng!

It pounced at Qin Feng's feet, rubbing its large head, which hadn't yet grown all its scales, against Qin Feng's calves, making ingratiating purring noises, and wagging its tail like a propeller.

"roar--!!!"

A furious roar suddenly exploded!

Upon witnessing this scene, the adult Earthly Fiend Thunder Rhino's eyes instantly turned red!

That's my baby!!

You despicable human being!

Its four hooves slammed into the ground, its massive body enveloped in world-destroying lightning, like a moving thunder mountain, as it madly crashed towards Qin Feng!

A murderous aura filled the air!

"Ah!" Lin Yuyan was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she instinctively wanted to draw her sword.

Just then!

"Wow!!"

The little thunder rhinoceros suddenly turned around, spread its tender little legs, and stood firmly in front of Qin Feng!

It let out a series of rapid and angry cries at its furious mother!

Don't touch him!

Squeak-!

The adult Earthly Fiend Thunder Rhinoceros abruptly stopped in its tracks, its massive feet carving two deep furrows in the ground, less than three feet away from Qin Feng!

Two thick breaths came out of its nostrils, and its huge beastly eyes were full of surprise and grievance.

Why?

Why would my own child be so affectionate towards a human?

He even dared to yell at himself for the sake of this human?

Taking advantage of the break, Qin Feng bent down, picked up the little thunder rhinoceros, and scratched its chin as skillfully as if petting a cat.

The little guy was so comfortable that his eyes were squinted, and he didn't resist at all.

Qin Feng raised his head, looked directly into those lantern-like beastly eyes, and said calmly:

"Hey everyone, calm down."

"We should be able to talk."

The Earthly Fiend Thunder Rhino let out a low roar, lightning dancing on its horn. It could sense the dangerous aura emanating from the human before it.

But seeing its silly son being held in Qin Feng's arms, looking completely content, it dared not make any rash moves.

"Don't be impulsive."

Qin Feng weighed the little guy in his hand:

"Look how much it likes me!"

"If you hurt me, your son will hate you for the rest of his life."

Earthly Fiend Thunder Rhino: "..."

It's so frustrating!

It just can't understand it!

This is a noble Thunder Rhino bloodline, how did it become a simp?

"Now, let's make a deal."

Qin Feng didn't care whether it understood or not, and said directly:

"Nod if you're willing to talk."
