Zi Linling felt somewhat speechless. Had her Ghost Hand Poison Doctor persona now stooped to relying on men?
Although, in her previous life's world, a woman could make a man devotedly support her, and that was also a kind of skill.
But she, the Ghost Hand Poison Doctor, had always disdained men. She was a modern, independent woman, wasn't she?
Therefore, relying on men simply didn't exist for Zi Linling!
Zi Linling looked at Mo Qingcheng with a half-smile and said, "Even if I rely on a man, so what? You're not convinced? Hold it in if you're not!"
Mo Qingcheng let out a cold laugh, just about to say that she wasn't unconvinced, merely disdainful, when she heard Zi Linling continue, "Oh, right, Fairy Qingcheng can also rely on men, just like Hua Ruhai."
As Zi Linling spoke, she adopted a knowing expression.
"You..."
Mo Qingcheng was disgusted.
A man like Hua Ruhai was only fit to be used by her, how could he be worthy of being her reliance?
If Fairy Qingcheng were to seek a man to rely on, she would find someone like the King of Hell, Ye Lingyuan.
Thinking this, Mo Qingcheng glanced at Ye Lingyuan, her eyes brimming with affection.
Ye Lingyuan frowned, a flash of anger crossing his gaze.
He waved his sleeve with disgust, and Mo Qingcheng was once again sent flying.
Mo Qingcheng cried out in alarm. She had never expected Ye Lingyuan to attack her, and there had been no spiritual energy fluctuations from him, so she had not been the least bit prepared.
By the time she reacted, she was already flying backward.
What should she do?
Mo Qingcheng thought of the poses she had landed in twice before, her face filled with fear.
She did not want to land in an ungraceful posture again in front of everyone.
Therefore, she unleashed all the spiritual energy within her, attempting to resolve the impending crisis and embarrassment.
However, although Ye Lingyuan's swing had not used spiritual energy, because it was an attack fueled by anger, the force contained within was extremely domineering.
Thus, after a struggle, Mo Qingcheng could only watch helplessly as she fell towards the ground.
Mo Qingcheng inwardly lamented, "It's over!"
Just as she was about to make intimate contact with the ground, a strong arm wrapped around her waist, spinning her three times before stabilizing.
Mo Qingcheng breathed a sigh of relief and looked up at the person who had caught her.
The newcomer was over forty, dressed in black, with handsome features. The most striking thing was his flowing white hair.
Upon seeing the familiar face, tears instantly welled up in Mo Qingcheng's eyes, and she cried out aggrievedly, "Master..."
Her voice was soft and weak, evoking a desire to cherish and protect.
Fu Liuyun tightened his arm around Mo Qingcheng, drawing her close to his chest. He gently patted her back and said softly, "Cheng'er, don't be afraid!"
Mo Qingcheng's silent tears turned into soft sobs, "Master, you've finally come. If you hadn't, Cheng'er would have... would have..."
At this point, she was already choked with sobs and unable to speak.
Fu Liuyun looked at the small, trembling body in his arms with affection, his heart aching.
He softly comforted her, "Cheng'er, don't be afraid, it's all over now."
"Mmm, mmm, mmm."
Mo Qingcheng stopped crying, straightened up, and looked at Fu Liuyun obediently. The previous arrogant and petulant demeanor was gone.
She wiped away her tears and said with a nasal voice, "Master, why are you here?"
Fu Liuyun felt a sudden emptiness in his embrace, his heart feeling a little vacant.
However, seeing Mo Qingcheng's smile after her tears, a smile also appeared on his face.
He playfully flicked Mo Qingcheng's upturned nose and said, "Isn't it because you secretly came down the mountain!"
Mo Qingcheng lowered her head shyly and said coquettishly, "Then Master, did you come down the mountain just for me?"
Fu Liuyun smiled and said, "Not entirely. Your master heard that the Fengyun Trading Company is preparing to auction a batch of Great Rejuvenation Pills from the Medicine King Valley, so I came to take a look."
Mo Qingcheng's eyes lit up. She looked at Fu Liuyun and asked, "Great Rejuvenation Pills? Master, are they from the hands of the old Valley Master Situ?"
Fu Liuyun nodded and said, "In this world, besides him, who else has surplus Great Rejuvenation Pills to auction?"
"That's great, Master!"
Mo Qingcheng's face was filled with joy.
Fu Liuyun said dotingly, "Look how happy you are. When your master bids for the Great Rejuvenation Pills, I'll give you one."
Mo Qingcheng said sweetly, "Thank you, Master!"
Fu Liuyun's expression suddenly changed, and he asked, "Cheng'er, what happened just now?"
The smile on Mo Qingcheng's face instantly vanished, replaced by a look of indignation.
This time, Ye Lingyuan suddenly attacked her. It couldn't be because she had violated the King of Hell's taboos. Then why was it?
Suddenly, she noticed that Ye Lingyuan's stance was somewhat strange, as if he were protecting Zi Linling beside him.
Could it be because of Zi Linling?
It had to be said that Mo Qingcheng was deluded.
Indeed, although Ye Lingyuan detested the way Mo Qingcheng looked at him, he wouldn't have stooped to attacking her.
What truly angered him was Mo Qingcheng calling Zi Linling a "bitch" and a "waste" one after another.
How could the woman he had chosen be insulted at will? Those who insult others will be insulted in return. He wanted to humiliate Mo Qingcheng and vent Zi Linling's anger.
The more Mo Qingcheng thought about it, the more she felt her guess was correct, and her jealousy towards Zi Linling intensified.
She secretly thought, "Bitch, aren't you just relying on your powerful backing? Now that Master is here, let's see how arrogant you can be!"
With this thought, she pointed at Zi Linling and said to Fu Liuyun with a wronged expression, "Master, that bi... woman, she bullied me!"
Mo Qingcheng had intended to say "bitch," but to maintain her pure image in front of Fu Liuyun, she had to swallow the word.
Fu Liuyun's face darkened. He followed the direction Mo Qingcheng pointed and saw Zi Linling with a cold smile, and Ye Lingyuan and Ye Liuxing standing on either side of her.
Zi Linling and Ye Liuxing were one thing. Apart from their noble aura, there was no spiritual energy fluctuation from them.
But when Fu Liuyun's gaze fell on Ye Lingyuan, his pupils constricted sharply, and he instinctively became wary.
Although there were no spiritual energy fluctuations from Ye Lingyuan either, the faint pressure that leaked out made Fu Liuyun extremely cautious. It was the instinctive perception of danger by a spiritual practitioner.
Fu Liuyun inwardly blamed Mo Qingcheng, wondering how she could provoke such a powerful individual.
He frowned and looked at Mo Qingcheng, "Cheng'er, what exactly happened?"
"Master, Father's internal injuries have erupted and he urgently needs the Panlong Ginseng for healing. But it couldn't be bought at other trading companies, so I asked Qing'e to come to the Fengyun Trading Company to look."
As Mo Qingcheng spoke, her eyes became moist again, which made Fu Liuyun feel heartbroken once more.
Fu Liuyun's heart softened, and his previously slightly blaming tone became resigned, "And then?"
