The gate to Lei Tianming's house was slightly ajar.
Pushing open the iron gate, one first encountered a typical farmhouse courtyard.
From afar, one could hear the shrill sounds of an argument coming from the house.
"Xuan Fanyin!! You took a whole hundred million, claiming it could extend life by thirty years. What now?" an elderly woman furiously questioned.
Xuan Fanyin's tone was sinister, "I mentioned at the time that it required Wei Yao to wear the Life-Extending Robe! That damned girl broke my formation, and I was backfired upon. I suffered massive internal bleeding!"
"I don't care, you took the money, you have to save my husband's life." The old woman's angry tone persisted, "He has less than an hour left, you figure it out."
Xuan Fanyin said somberly, "I've already asked Su Wan and Wei Yao to come over. One hour is enough!"
"That turncoat Wei Yao, even if she comes, might not be willing to wear the Life-Extending Robe for another twenty years." The old lady expressed her worries.
Xuan Fanyin let out a cold laugh, followed by an agonized sound of spitting blood, and then paused before speaking, "Just turn her into a vegetative state." Read full story at NoveI[F]ire.net
"That's what we should have done from the start. It wouldn't have come to this," the old woman said angrily.
Yet my heart felt a chill; this old woman had always been seen by Wei Yao as a very loving foster parent in her heart.
To think that their true thoughts were so malevolent, not content with just taking her lifespan.
Turning Wei Yao into a vegetative state, they didn't show a shred of mercy.
They were truly demons among men!!
Xuan Fanyin suddenly said, "There's the sound of footsteps."
"You go check it out, it might be Wei Yao and that damned girl who broke your formation coming!" the old woman coldly said.
The squeaking of rats echoed from all directions.
My hand tightened around the flashlight as I saw countless crimson eyes appear in the dark room, "Xuan Fanyin, I've arrived, can you release Yu Rongling now?"
"Release him? I have my conditions."
The lights in the upstairs corridor suddenly brightened, and Xuan Fanyin appeared there, looking down at me.
The surrounding crimson eyes flickered and moved continuously like tiny bulbs.
"Are you after my Spiritual Eye?" Having experienced many different evil spirits coveting my Spiritual Eye, I could almost guess what Xuan Fanyin wanted.
He had been backfired upon and was in dire need of Spiritual Power to recover.
Xuan Fanyin's lips curled up, revealing a face that, despite appearing young in the videos, now bore wrinkles as if weather-beaten, "Knowing all that and still you came, it seems Yu Rongling holds a significant place in your heart. Is the child in your womb his too?"
I pursed my lips and said nothing, Xuan Fanyin didn't know that the child inside me was Snake Lord Yu Longting's.
He was clearly a close friend of my father, aware that Yu Longting was sewn into the cheongsam.
Yet, he had no idea that I had already been entwined by Yu Longting!
"Su Wan, there's another path for you, that is to be my woman." Xuan Fanyin's eyes were more terrifying than the mucus of a venomous snake, fixating on me, "It's been over a decade since we last met, and you've grown ever more enchanting!! You could make any man's desire burn fiercely in bed, hahaha, I knew when you were a child that you would grow up to be a stunning beauty, devastatingly enchanting!"
"I've been entwined by a snake, you don't mind?" I quietly met Xuan Fanyin's gaze.
Although I felt utterly frightened inside, even considering retreat, I had to remain calm.
On my shoulders, I carried the mission to protect myself, protect Dumpling, and rescue Yu Rongling!!
Since I was already here.
If I failed, the price would be even more devastating.
Xuan Fanyin burst out laughing as if he had heard some hilarious joke, raised the glass bottle in his hand, observing Yu Rongling inside, who was furiously smashing against it with his snake head,
"It's because you were entwined by a snake and even had a Snake Baby, marrying you would greatly increase my cultivation!! Su Wan, agree to me, and you can keep your Spiritual Eye. I can even make you happy. What's so good about being with that good-for-nothing Yu Rongling? Being with me is the best choice..."
