Frankly, for a moment, Yun Ling felt that the Lin Huaian in front of her was believable, because his expression at this moment was more serious than ever before.
As a young master from a wealthy family, coupled with his Heaven-Blessed Archaic Sacred Body with unparalleled talent in cultivation, Lin Huaian had always been arrogant and undisciplined since childhood, bullying others and doing all kinds of evil.
He was simply the most typical example of a playboy and had hardly ever changed.
But now he made this expression, coupled with that transcendent temperament and handsome face, Yun Ling instantly felt a bit shaken.
Moreover, even if Lin Huaian had lost all his cultivation and become a cripple, the foundation of being a half-step Nascent Soul cultivator was still there.
It was impossible for him not to be able to dodge her sword.
What’s more, Yun Ling knew that she was already a cripple at the first level of the Qi Refining stage.
It was too easy for Lin Huaian to dodge this sword, but he didn’t choose to dodge.
Instead, he firmly chose to believe that she wouldn’t cut him down…
Thinking this, she inexplicably felt that Lin Huaian was pleasing to the eye.
But soon, the shame of the broken engagement overwhelmed the inexplicable emotions.
Her eyes were red, and she said resolutely, “You said you did those things for me?”
“That’s only natural.”
Lin Huaian’s expression was indifferent and his tone firm, as if not allowing the slightest rebuttal.
His whole being emphasized the phrase: “My heart and my actions are as clear as a mirror, and all my actions are righteous!”
But in fact, his heart was so flustered that he was about to die on the spot.
If Yun Ling was interested in lowering her head to listen to Lin Huaian’s heartbeat, she would probably be so scared that she would call a doctor to rescue Lin Huaian…
“You broke off the engagement for me?”
“That’s right.”
“That day, you were polite first and then used force, pretending to want to exchange a few Qi Refining pills for breaking off the engagement, also for me?”
“That’s right!”
“A few days ago, when I was taking a bath, you said outside the door that you wanted to help me bathe and change clothes, also for me?”
“No… Wait, there was such a thing?!”
Lin Huaian was trying to muddle through while frantically calculating in his heart, because he didn’t know whether those images were true or false.
God, please don’t lie to me. You’ve tortured me like this. If you come to deceive me, to attack me…
Are you even human?!
Yun Ling gnashed her teeth fiercely: “I don’t believe you. Now there’s no point in talking about the past between you and me, and even the future is impossible to foresee. Lin Huaian, although you used to be without virtue, at least you never lied to me. I’m very disappointed in you!”
The sword’s edge slid, and Yun Ling seemed to be in tears.
She closed her eyes and said softly, “I originally just wanted to take you as my male s*ave and make you mine for life. But you’ve gone too far this time. I must kill you with my own hands, so!”
However, just as the sword was about to strike down—
“You, in fact, have inexplicably lost your ability to cultivate since three years ago, trapped at the first level of the Qi Refining stage and unable to break through, right?”
Lin Huaian’s voice was very soft, as indifferent as the wind.
But Yun Ling suddenly opened her eyes after hearing this, and her expression suddenly became horrified, because Lin Huaian’s words touched the biggest secret in her heart.
She had kept this secret for three full years, not even telling her own father. How did Lin Huaian know?!
Lin Huaian immediately knew that he had bet correctly when he saw Yun Ling’s expression change.
While secretly breathing a sigh of relief, he realized that the sword’s edge had stopped, so he became even more proud and extraordinary.
He straightened his back, seemingly righteously, but actually silently moved his body away from the sword…
Moreover, when we usually get along, you seem quite normal.
I treat you like a fool, but you actually treat me like a future male s*ave to be tamed?!
“You…” Yun Ling’s expression was uncertain, and for a moment she didn’t know how to deal with Lin Huaian.
One was that he actually knew her biggest secret, and the other was that he claimed that everything was for her own good. Could it be related to this matter?
“You, starting three days ago, that is, the day I came to break off the engagement, have had phantoms performing martial arts in your dreams every night, right?”
Lin Huaian pressed his advantage and threw out another important piece of information without hesitation!
Yun Ling was struck by lightning, stunned in place, because what Lin Huaian said was completely correct!
Starting from the day Lin Huaian came to break off the engagement three days ago, she would dream of a figure with an unclear face demonstrating various martial arts in her dreams every night, from the lowest-level Qi Refining stage’s strongest martial art, the Surging Wave Palm, to the Nascent Soul stage’s strongest Dao technique, Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin. This figure had demonstrated them all to her.
The most exaggerated thing was that every time Yun Ling finished watching, she felt that she had learned it.
Two days ago, after waking up from her dream, she went to the bamboo forest to try to practice the Surging Wave Palm, but found that she had actually practiced the Surging Wave Palm to the highest level—Ten Thousand Tides Resounding.
“Moreover, every morning when you wake up, you feel a familiar voice calling you,” Lin Huaian looked at Yun Ling, the emotions in his tea-gold eyes changing like the tide, and finally said in a deep voice,
“What I said is right, right?”
Yun Ling began to panic, because every day when she woke up, there would really be a hallucination, a presence that could be known to be an absolutely beautiful woman just by hearing the voice.
But every time after waking up, that voice would quickly disappear again.
Yun Ling could only treat it as a hallucination.
But Lin Huaian suddenly brought up this matter that only she would know, Yun Ling couldn’t help but feel a deep sense of fear, and for a moment she couldn’t even hold the sword steady.
It would have been fine if she had held the sword honestly, but this shake scared Lin Huaian a lot.
He almost lost his composure and shouted, “Sister, hold it steady! It’s fine if you cut yourself, but don’t cut me!”
Fortunately, Yun Ling reacted quickly.
After grabbing the sword hilt, she hesitated again and again, and finally decided to put it back in its sheath.
She raised her head and silently looked at Lin Huaian for a while.
When Lin Huaian saw her sheathing her sword, he realized that he was finally safe, so his mood suddenly became cheerful and joyful.
What is this called?
This is called professional, escaping from death, ultimate operation, who else!
“How do you know?” Yun Ling turned around, closed the door, and stared at Lin Huaian seriously.
“What are you referring to?” Lin Huaian’s heart was blossoming with joy, but he didn’t show it on his face.
He sat on the bed, sitting upright, with a serious expression, somewhat like the feeling of the head teacher sitting in front of the classroom proctoring the exam.
“Don’t joke around!” Yun Ling was a little anxious because of him. “How do you know these things about me? Could it be…you’re monitoring me? Or are those things you created?!”
Lin Huaian silently waved his hand, making a superior gesture.
Now he couldn’t speak.
He was a master who knew the secrets of heaven.
If he explained everything to Yun Ling clearly, then her sword wouldn’t know whether it was on the top or the bottom…
Yun Ling felt that Lin Huaian was teasing her again, bit her silver teeth, tears were about to overflow from her eyes, her cheeks were flushed, looking cute and charming, and pitiful.
The blue and white tight-fitting lining outlined Yun Ling’s exquisite upper body curves, and a pair of beautiful collarbones were exposed in the cold wind.
She wiped her eyes, and finally couldn’t help but cry to Lin Huaian: “I’ve been bullied by you for ten full years, from childhood to adulthood, you’ve always been bullying me. As a result, when it’s almost time to get married, you’re still bullying me!”
Lin Huaian was a little stunned for a moment.
On the one hand, he hadn’t seen a woman cry much.
In his previous life, he was just an ordinary person, not a scumbag or handsome guy who was particularly attractive to girls. On the other hand, Yun Ling looked so good when she cried!
Porcelain-white and smooth skin, a beautiful figure and curves, pure black knee-high socks set off the slender and slender legs, revealing a trace of attractive fleshy pink.
She wore a pair of dark silver high heels, so she looked particularly tall and lovely.
Just now, she was so fierce and resolute, but now she was crying like a little girl.
This contrast made Lin Huaian suddenly feel like he wanted to…kneel down and apologize to her.
Damn, this is the protagonist! I’m teasing the protagonist? Who gave me the courage? Makoto Itou.
Lin Huaian quickly swallowed his saliva, and used all the remaining strength in his body to beckon.
Yun Ling barely stopped her tears when she saw his movements, and sat down beside Lin Huaian’s bed lightly and sensitively.
While she was sitting, she was still thinking about how Lin Huaian was different from before.
In the past, if he saw her crying, he would do something even more excessive, or dislike her trouble and push her away to cool off.
But now Lin Huaian seemed to be very gentle to her?
“Your mother left you a ring before she disappeared and left the family,” Lin Huaian looked at Yun Ling’s crystal clear and tearful eyes, desperately suppressing the obsessive-compulsive thought of helping her wipe away her tears, and said very seriously, “This ring is so precious that you keep it in your boudoir and never wear it out on weekdays.”
“How do you know…” Yun Ling was puzzled again.
“Don’t worry about how I know, when you go back tonight, remember it’s at night, go find it,” Lin Huaian’s surface was soft-spoken, but in his heart he only felt that this girl was so troublesome, “and then you’ll understand everything.”
“Then I’ll, understand everything?” Yun Ling repeated this sentence blankly.
To be honest, she had never been willing to believe Lin Huaian, but now Lin Huaian seemed to have changed.
He was very gentle, patient, sincere, no longer as cold or even disgusted as before, and he also had a bit of unpredictable and unfamiliar flavor.
To be honest, this kind of taste didn’t seem to make her hate it?
Yun Ling hesitated for a while, then slowly stood up from Lin Huaian’s bed.
She turned her head, wiped her tears with her sleeves, and pushed the door open with her back to Lin Huaian and said, “If nothing happens tonight, I will definitely come back and chop you up!”
Then she didn’t give Lin Huaian a chance to speak at all, and directly took a brisk step and quickly left Lin Huaian’s bedroom, and took the door with her.
The sound of footsteps gradually faded away, but Lin Huaian didn’t answer for a long time.
The reason was simple, he was exhausted.
Less than two seconds after Yun Ling left, he fell weakly on the bed.
Now every part of his body was aching.
After all, his body was completely ruined.
His meridians were severed and his cultivation was completely lost.
The strongest cultivation genius who once possessed the Archaic Holy Body had become a waste joke.
This was an unbearable nightmare for any cultivator.
But Lin Huaian was different. Lin Huaian could bear it.
Because Lin Huaian felt that he was a salted fish.
A salted fish who could see the fate of all the protagonists and vowed to hug the thighs of all the beautiful female protagonists in the world!
