"What do I want that piece of junk for?" Yu Longting's brows furrowed tightly, his usual air of playful mischief replaced by an aura as dark and heavy as if countless dark clouds loomed over his head.
"The Xuanjing actually intended to use this child as nourishment, and he will become your nourishment," Su Qiang's lips uncontrollably trembled as she spoke, "Snake Lord, your appearance is truly exceptional. I was astounded the first time I saw your picture, thinking you resembled a Heavenly Being, but in person, you are even more... Ah... My eyes... My eyes..." ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ noᴠelfire.net
Before Su Qiang could finish expressing her feelings, Yu Longting swept his sleeve icily.
Two colorful vipers flew out from within his sleeve, shooting like arrows into Su Qiang's eyes, "Your fox-like eyes are simply too... pollutant to the environment. Keeping them in your eye sockets makes you akin to walking hazardous waste. As a man of integrity and kindness, let me help you out. Do you feel even more enamored with me now?"
This counter endorsement was truly more terrifying than a demonized Demon King.
All the Lin Family Disciples around inhaled sharply in horror.
"It hurts, my eyes... Why would you do this to me, Snake Lord? I truly admire you," Su Qiang fell to the ground in pain, covering and caressing her bleeding eyes, "Why can Su Wan do it, just because you met her earlier? Fate is not within our control. I wanted to meet you earlier too... Snake Lord..."
Yu Longting ignored Su Qiang's wailing, his gaze falling on me as he explained, "Wife, don't listen to this nosy woman's nonsense. If I had met her sooner, upon seeing that coarse face of hers, I'd have been nauseous for three days and nights. How could I possibly have fallen for her?"
"Su Wan! What's so great about you? The Snake Lord has admitted it himself, he likes your skin. It's just that you're better looking. With today's medical advancements, anyone can look better than you!" Su Qiang, blind and cornered, still continued to lash out, using Yu Longting's words to attack me.
Yet I sighed softly, thinking that if Yu Longting loved me for my face, that in itself would be enough.
Every single thing he had done for me was real.
Besides, Su Qiang hadn't seen Liu Hongluan's face, which was even more beautiful than the stunningly beautiful Immortal Liu.
Even Xuanjing had once been infatuated with Liu Hongluan's appearance, but Yu Longting chose me.
A flicker of murderous intent briefly passed through Yu Longting's eyes as he saw Lin Huan approaching with his disciples, and he concealed his lethal intent, "To lay hands on you would sully my hands. Better to leave you to Old Man Lin."
There, Lin Huan personally disabled the cores of the three disciples who had already betrayed the Lin Family in favor of Xuanjing, expelling them from the family.
The remaining dozen or so traitors, while not crippled, were also expelled.
Their style of dealing with matters was swift and decisive.
Seeing Lin Huan coming, I gave a cough to remind Yu Longting.
Then, I obediently knelt and kowtowed, performing the grand gesture of respect, "Grandfather, I'm late; I have let you suffer."
"Wanwan, get up," Lin Huan said kindly as he bent down to help me, his voice warm and tender, "If it weren't for you this time, the Lin Family would have been completely annihilated."
I stole a glance at Yu Longting, "I couldn't have done such a big thing alone; it was mainly thanks to Yu Longting's efforts. The String Killer and Thousand Corpses Formation were both broken by him."
"The Snake Lord's contributions will be remembered and cherished deeply by everyone in the Lin Family; we won't hesitate to die in gratitude."
As I listened to Lin Huan's grateful words and was pleased to have successfully won recognition for Yu Longting's deeds, I saw Lin Huan cast a very dark and sinister look at Yu Longting, "However, my way of repaying a debt of gratitude will definitely not involve sacrificing my granddaughter."
