Although the restaurant was not open for business,
it was customary for every household in town to keep their doors open on the first day of the Lunar New Year, welcoming good fortune.
The girl at the door wore an oversized red hoodie with two bunny ears on the hood. Fresh chapters posted on novèlfire.net
Despite her expression being the epitome of world-weariness and indifference, her small face with the hoodie on was incredibly cute.
Her skin was a proud porcelain white, as delicate as if one could break it with a mere touch.
On closer inspection, however, one could see that the girl was disabled.
The sleeve of her right arm was empty and fluttering; such a young girl at the prime of her youth, yet she was missing an arm.
When the girl appeared, everyone in the hall fell silent.
Zhang Zidao, who had been meditating there since the previous night, with a firm Taoist heart,
slowly opened his eyes, filled with a Sharp Metal chill, "This girl is heavily cursed with gu... it seems... to be the Centipede Gu of my good disciple?"
"Are you... Lin Xinmei?" I asked uncertainly, and immediately corrected myself, "Could it be... Xintu?"
Though Yu Rongling had never met Lin Xinmei, he reacted to the first part of my question,
suddenly possessed by an intense energy, pulled out a three-foot green peak sword and attacked, "You colluded with Lin Gang, causing my brother's Primordial Spirit to be injured, so heinously evil, anathema to both heaven and man! The Lin Family hasn't even slaughtered you yet, but lets you strut around in public. Behold my supreme universe snake sword!"
"Calm down, didn't you hear what I said? She might be Xintu, not Xinmei," I said as I watched the long sword, radiating powerful sword intent, attack a frail and slender girl.
I hastily grabbed the dumbass, who was truly a brother-protecting maniac.
Seeing the person who caused his brother's injury appear made him lash out uncontrollably like a wild dog.
"Sister-in-law, how could you... how could you cover for him?!"
Yu Rongling grew even more furious, his Qi Force rising, forcing me back, "Just because this bad woman is of the Lin Family, you cover for her? Where do you place my brother in your heart? Is his status so low to you?
Maybe she's some illegitimate child Lin Gang had with some disgraceful woman. She should have been flushed down the toilet initially, instead of being born to disgust the world."
My entire arm went numb from the shock, and I had to let go of Yu Rongling.
I staggered backward several steps like a kite with a snapped string,
fortunately, Yu Longting promptly appeared behind me, swept me into his arms, and I watched as Yu Rongling made his move.
The long sword, filled with the breath of snake venom, stabbed straight at the girl's forehead, "You're driving me crazy. Which of your eyes saw me covering for her? I never should have dressed you in a Cultivation Spiritual Garment, and raised you to be this strong. If you hurt Dumpling, I won't let it go!"
"Wife, calm down. I'll handle him for you. I'll beat him down to the level he was before he wore the Cultivation Spiritual Garment, not letting a single worry trouble you."
Yu Longting helped me to sit on a chair, his step technique incredibly miraculous, reaching Yu Rongling's side in just one step.
He precisely caught Yu Rongling's ear and gave it a light twist, rotating it a full one hundred and eighty degrees.
Yu Rongling howled in pain, disbelievingly looking at his own brother, "Ow, big brother, why hit me? Elbowing me out of the Milky Way, I'm helping you seek revenge, and you still strike me."
But the sword tip laced with snake venom had already penetrated half an inch into the girl's forehead.
Based on my experience with brain structure, this sword likely pierced through the skull already.
If Yu Longting hadn't intervened, the girl's head would have been completely pierced by the long sword.
"Who allowed you to attack your sister-in-law? You're being ridiculous!" Yu Longting's grip tightened as darkness surged in the depths of his eyes.
Yu Rongling cried out, tears and snot running down his face together, "Wuwuwu, isn't it sister-in-law's fault? Anyone who harms you deserves death by a thousand cuts. As your wife, she doesn't even consider your feelings."
"If second brother truly needs to kill me to feel at peace, then do as you please."
