"You're not allowed to call Ji Mo an ugly monster; he's quite good-looking."
Ning Wenjing spoke first.
Although she didn't understand why Ji Mo was still deliberately making himself look ugly, she couldn't stand others calling him an ugly monster.
At the same time, she was puzzled. She had initially thought Ji Mo became the Du family's son-in-law because of his looks, but it seemed that wasn't the case.
Ji Mo was very touched by her words. It seemed the golden toad he gave wasn't wasted; this single compliment was worth it.
"He's good-looking?"
Du Ruier wanted to laugh, then saw the black spots on Ning Wenjing's face. She immediately mistook Ning Wenjing's aesthetic as unusual, appreciating blackness. She snorted, "I like calling him an ugly monster. What are you going to do about it? As for you, I won't allow you to call my Ji Mo a big liar."
"Cough cough..."
Ji Mo coughed dryly. When did I become yours? This little brat really dares to say anything, it'll cause misunderstandings.
Ning Wenjing's face suddenly fell. Had they already...
"Don't listen to the little brat's nonsense. I have nothing to do with her."
Ji Mo quickly explained. He had always guarded his innocence meticulously.
Ning Wenjing instantly turned from sorrow to joy. It was good they had no relationship.
"What do you mean no relationship? We had skin-to-skin contact not long ago."
Du Ruier said anxiously.
She was referring to Ji Mo touching her abdomen during the massage. At that time, there was no clothing between them, and their skin had touched.
Ji Mo's forehead was covered in black lines. The Du family was so rich, couldn't they afford to send the child to school properly? Skin-to-skin contact is not something to be described so casually!
Ning Wenjing looked at Ji Mo. Seeing him shake his head vigorously, she was relieved and said to Du Ruier without backing down, "I spend all day and night with the big liar, sharing the same room."
"You..."
Du Ruier instantly broke down. Gritting her teeth, she retaliated proudly, "I slept with the ugly monster last night, and I was on top."
Pfft...
Ji Mo almost spat out a mouthful of blood. What kind of lewd words were these!
"Not only that, but my belly was also made big by the ugly monster..."
Du Ruier's words were astonishing, and she was about to reveal more explosive news when Ji Mo covered her mouth.
Heaven help me! Although children speak without malice, these are not things to be said casually.
Ji Mo quickly explained the situation simply to Ning Wenjing.
"You didn't become a son-in-law to the Du family, that's great."
Ning Wenjing suddenly felt her mood lift, the sun shone brightly, and the sky seemed exceptionally blue.
"Hmph, there's no need for the ugly monster to become a son-in-law to the Du family. I, Du Ruier, will become a daughter-in-law to the Ji family."
Du Ruier declared霸气ly, showing no sign of backing down.
Ji Mo really wanted to say that becoming a son-in-law meant a man marrying into the woman's family, what was she marrying into?
He had thought Ning Wenjing's arrival would rescue him from dire straits, but unexpectedly, he was plunged into even deeper waters.
Alas, women are so troublesome!
...
The Jin Family.
Jin Cheng returned home in a panic, crying and wailing, begging the human super experts hiding in his home to avenge his father's death.
He was quite clever, not daring to mention that Jin Kui had been killed instantly.
He lied that Jin Kui had been careless, ambushed by Xi Xia Mountain Villa, and killed!
Those people were also old and cunning, not acting rashly.
They were hiding in the Jin family because they feared the pursuit of the Ning Village and were unsure if the Ning Village had special means to track them.
The few people comforted Jin Cheng, promising to help him avenge his father and asking him to send people to investigate the Ning family's movements first.
Jin Cheng had to comply as he needed their help.
After some investigation.
Jin Cheng informed them that the Ning Village had made no moves. On the contrary, Xi Xia Mountain Villa had sent a large amount of supplies to the Ning Village for some unknown reason, even sending his father's body.
This news made those people panic. Could it be that their secret was exposed? Otherwise, why would Xi Xia Mountain Villa try to befriend the Ning Village and send Jin Kui's body?
The Ning clan were meritorious officials of the Xuan Ling Realm. Dealing with the Ning clan had to be done stealthily. If the world found out that it was they who had attacked the Ning Village, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Currently, they had to quickly ascertain whether their identities had been exposed, or if Jin Kui had betrayed them before his death.
After some discussion, the few people concluded that their identities should not have been leaked, as the Ning Village had made no major moves.
However, Xi Xia Mountain Villa might know something. Otherwise, why would they inexplicably befriend the Ning Village and specifically send Jin Kui's body? There must be something fishy going on.
"Chen Jin, your movement technique is unparalleled. You will infiltrate Xi Xia Mountain Villa and find out the situation. If Xi Xia Mountain Villa truly possesses evidence against us, find a way to destroy it. Du Mu is, after all, a demon. As long as there is no evidence, even if he exposes our plot against the Ning clan, no one will believe him."
After discussion, the few people devised a plan.
This was the most prudent and effective method, but it also carried considerable risk, as Du Mu of Xi Xia Mountain Villa's strength should not be underestimated.
Chen Jin, who was nominated, was clearly unhappy and made a request for benefits.
If he were to venture alone, he must be given some compensation.
"No problem. As long as the matter is handled properly and our worries are eliminated, everything in the Jin family will belong to you."
One of them said coldly.
The others also wore sinister smiles. With Jin Kui dead, who knew if any loose ends remained? The best way was to eliminate all potential hidden dangers.
Therefore, the Jin family must not be kept.
"What? Everything in the Jin family belongs to me. It's impossible to give it to you."
Jin Cheng, standing by the side, naturally refused to agree.
Everything in the Jin family now belonged to him, so how could he bear to give it away?
"Heh heh, Jin Kui was cunning and a formidable figure, but how could he have such a naive son."
Those people laughed even harder.
Jin Cheng's scalp tingled, and his whole body turned cold. He finally remembered that his father had repeatedly mentioned that these people were all insane and ruthless. He had to deal with them carefully.
If Jin Kui were here, he could naturally control the situation. Now that Jin Kui was dead, these people would not take Jin Cheng seriously.
"We are allies! How can you break your promise and cross the river to tear down the bridge? Aren't you afraid I'll publicize your conspiracy against the Ning clan!"
Jin Cheng pointed at the few people and threatened them loudly, wanting to use this to coerce them.
"Stupid, utterly foolish. Speaking to us like this, do you want to die even faster?"
Chen Jin did not hide his killing intent at all. If Jin Cheng were killed, everything in the Jin family would belong to him.
Jin Cheng was dumbfounded. He finally realized that his actions were indeed incredibly foolish. These were several Immortals, how could they be intimidated by him?
He made a decisive move, his figure turning into an afterimage, intending to flee through the door.
Jin Cheng was very fast, reaching the door in an instant. As long as he successfully rushed out of the room, he would publicize these people's dirty deeds.
Even if he died, he would make these people accompany him.
Bang!
Jin Cheng crashed headfirst into someone's embrace. The powerful rebound force sent him flying back.
Chen Jin blocked the doorway and said contemptuously, "You, trying to escape from my grasp? Wishful thinking."
Jin Cheng spat out blood, his face filled with despair. He said urgently, "You can't kill me. I still have a backup plan. Once I die, someone will spread your shameful deeds."
