Yu Longting was nearly out of control, recklessly entangling me like a snake in front of Lin Huan, tightly clutching me and kissing the wound on my neck as if anyone who dared to plead for mercy was his mortal enemy, "Who the hell are you, huh? If you tell me to spare Qing Li, should I just spare her? When I was messing around in the Nine Continents, your ancestors weren't even a cell..."
So wild, so cool, so amazing... What is this!
But Yu Longting, although what you said is not wrong, it's realistic.
However...
Uh, Lin Huan standing in front of you, after all, is my grandfather by marriage.
Such a big commotion.
Both my mom and Zhang Che got alerted.
They stood shocked at my bedroom door, watching a woman in a green robe with long hair and a pale face, continuously trying to protect herself with her long hair.
Lin Huan was in a frantic state, biting his finger and drawing various fire-extinguishing talismans on his palm, sending out Palm Talismans, but he couldn't extinguish the purple flames at all.
It appeared extremely hot, even fiercer than the Samadhi True Fire.
I'd never heard of or seen such a thing.
Eventually, Lin Hang, who was staying at the Waterside Pavilion, came over with his bird's-nest hair to watch the excitement.
"Son-in-law, please, don't be hard on Qing Li." Seeing the woman in green reaching her limit, no longer able to grow her hair, about to have her head burned, Lin Huan couldn't help but compromise and plead.
Yu Longting snapped his fingers, and the purple flame ignited by the fire charm instantly extinguished, "If you had just called out earlier, the woman you keep in the attic wouldn't have ended up bald as a nun. Consider this a lesson for her, daring to assassinate my woman, peeling off her skin would have been letting her off easy."
"Do you not know why she provoked Wanwan?" Lin Huan was so angry it was like he had tuberculosis, coughing severely, "Cough cough cough cough..."
My mom went over to support Lin Huan but was angrily pushed away by him.
She nearly stumbled and fell.
Zhang Che and I both rushed over to help her.
In the end, it was Zhang Che, with his profound abilities, who caught my mom in an instant.
My mom furrowed her brow, and Zhang Che shook his head slightly at her, "The Sect Master is furious, don't provoke him. I'll take you to rest."
"Alright." My mom lowered her eyes, not even glancing at me, and walked away gracefully.
Zhang Che, like a knight, followed protectively behind her.
Lin Hang scratched his head, "This atmosphere isn't right, not a place for me to stay, I'm out of here."
"This crazy woman is brain-damaged, insisting that I am her husband, what can I do?" Yu Longting spread his hands in defeat.
Lin Huan sneered, "You deny everything you've done, fine, very fine! Qing Li, are you not leaving yet? Leaving the attic just once, has sufficed to trigger the Seal, turning against you, costing you ten years of cultivation."
"Pfft—" Qing Li spat out a mouthful of blood, and then she transformed into something like flowing water, a green silhouette slipping away through the window gap in the blink of an eye, utterly inhuman.
But I have the Spiritual Eye and could see that she was being counteracted by some strange force.
It seemed as if just leaving the attic, even for an instant,
would counteract her by reducing her lifespan, this time by ten years, equivalent to ten years of the Forbidden Woman's cultivation power.
She was willing to consume so much just to kill me?
Lin Huan left with a face full of cold fury, flinging his sleeves as he went.
I knew that if it hadn't been for Lin Huan's timely arrival, Qing Li would have been burnt to death by Yu Longting's fire; if there was any romantic involvement, it seemed impossible.
But I always felt there was some subtle connection between Yu Longting and me. I walked up to Yu Longting, wrapped my arms around his waist from behind, tilted my head back to look up at him, "Uncle Zhang said you went to the attic. Explain it to me, why did you go to the attic and... why did Qing Li come to kill me afterward?"
