Chapter 197: Chapter 197: Suddenly, as if Spring Breeze Arrives Overnight

"Dad, this old thing is just making excuses. How can you just let it go?"

Having left the Shangguan Family’s residence, Gong Tianao couldn’t help but curse.

The once respectful father-in-law had now turned into an old thing.

"If we don’t let it go, what can you do, bring the ancestors in and snatch the person?"

Gong Changjun was also furious.

The meat that was about to reach his mouth was about to run away.

He couldn’t tolerate this.

"What’s wrong with snatching? The last time the ancestors visited, the Shangguan Family was all very respectful. Now that Master Miejue is no longer backing them up, do they dare to make a move against the ancestors? As long as we turn the raw rice into cooked rice, make her into dregs, the Shangguan Family will be beaten back to their original form. By then, whatever Laozi wants her to give birth to, she will give birth; whatever I want her dead, she will die!"

Gong Tianao counted on having the ancestors in his corner.

His tone was extremely arrogant.

"You know nothing. Even if you forcibly take the Tri-Mystic Veins, can you be invincible? When Master Miejue comes knocking, what will you have to face her with?"

Gong Changjun rolled his eyes at his son.

His own schemes ran deep, comparable to Zhuge Wulong.

How could he have such a rash child?

Always acting without considering the consequences.

"So... we can’t just let this matter go, right? Without the Tri-Mystic Veins, how can I take over the position of the Family Head? Won’t the others in the Gong Family literally eat me alive?"

Gong Tianao scratched his head, his face full of annoyance.

"You fool, I really don’t know who you take after, with your head full of mush. Since the Shangguan Family wants to use Master Miejue as a shield, why not use her as a great Buddha ourselves?"

Gong Changjun had already thought of a way to handle this: "I’ve received news that a month ago, Master Miejue was seriously injured and is currently recuperating in Medicine King Valley. The Valley Master, Yan Wang’s enemy Xue Muhua, is an old friend of our ancestors. So, after we return, you plead with the ancestors to make a trip to the Medicine King Valley and have Xue Muhua persuade Master Miejue to betrothe Shangguan Min Yue to you. Now that Master Miejue owes Xue Muhua a life-saving favor, combined with our family’s heritage, she has no reason not to agree. By then, won’t our great achievement be accomplished?"

"But you just said, if I cripple Shangguan Min Yue, won’t Master Miejue still come after us?"

Gong Tianao rubbed his nose, his face filled with worry.

"Are you stupid, boy? If this marriage is approved by Master Miejue herself, even if she realizes she’s been tricked, she wouldn’t dare to proclaim it; otherwise, wouldn’t everyone say she’s a villain who pushed her disciple into the fire? So she would have to swallow her broken teeth and won’t make a sound about her suffering. By then, wouldn’t things be as you wish?"

Gong Changjun had already seen through human nature.

The Shangguan Family’s shield would soon become the Gong Family’s invincibility talisman.

Now he just had to wait to bring Shangguan Min Yue back home.

"Not pulling out earlier, not pulling out at all, but choosing to break off the engagement now, I think this wretched woman has taken a fancy to that guy named Lin Fan. I really can’t swallow this anger. On the wedding night, I’ll drain her cultivation, and I will definitely make her beg for life and death, just like a dog begging me all day long!"

All problems were resolved.

Gong Tianao was feeling quite delighted in his heart.

As if he could already see Shangguan Min Yue kneeling on the ground.

Begging him pitifully.

"You’re thirty already, you can’t be so impulsive in the future. Remember, a moment of patience may calm the storm, a step back may open up the horizon. Wait till the moment they turn around proudly, then stab them hard in their flank with a knife. As for that kid, I will take care of him sooner or later, and let Jiangning know, those who dare offend me, will face consequences!"

Gong Changjun sat in the carriage, narrowing his eyes.

He wanted to see who the hell dared to mess with his people.

"I’ll remember that."

The more Gong Tianao thought about Lin Fan’s arrogant demeanor, the more he gritted his teeth.

Even though his father advised him not to seek revenge.

But how could he let go of this guy who dared to challenge him?

Little did he know, at this moment, Lin Fan was burning with rage.

"You’re late!"

In Yang Linglong’s boudoir, she pouted her lips, looking at Lin Fan who had just walked in.

"Indeed, I was held up by some matters, but there’s still so long until dawn, aren’t you afraid it’s not enough?"

Lin Fan smiled and picked up the thermos from the table.

He was quite thirsty and drinking it like water wouldn’t be a bad idea.

It must be said, this excellent tonic soup was indeed very powerful.

It kept him burning all day long.

Although the morning wake-up service had provided some relief,

it was stirred up again by Shangguan Min Yue.

His heart still burned with a fiery passion.

"Don’t drink it!"

Just as Lin Fan unscrewed the thermos.

Yang Linglong, clutching a pillow, hurriedly shouted.

"What, you now know what it’s like to be unable to bear it? Too bad, it’s late, tonight I’m going to show you what I’m capable of!"

He drank the entire contents of the thermos in one go.

Lin Fan greedily admired Yang Linglong’s graceful curves.

Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.

"It’s no use... didn’t I tell you you’re too late?"

Yang Linglong pursed her lips and muttered softly.

"Isn’t it still dark outside? Don’t tell me you’re mad because it’s a bit late?"

Right now, Lin Fan felt a fire rising within him.

He immediately pounced towards Yang Linglong on the sofa.

"It’s not your fault... it’s me... it’s not a good time!"

Feeling Lin Fan’s furnace-like body heat,

Yang Linglong could only sigh helplessly.

"Why isn’t it a good time?"

Holding the soft and tender Yang Linglong, Lin Fan’s brain had lost all capacity for thought.

All he wanted was to devour her.

"I... my relatives have come to visit!"

Yang Linglong helplessly pointed towards her abdomen.

That gesture hit Lin Fan like a heavy punch in the heart.

Everything was ready except for the opportune moment.

"I’m dizzy, why didn’t you say so earlier!"

At that moment, Lin Fan, drained of all strength, leaned back on the sofa helplessly.

Looking at the empty thermos, he really didn’t know whether to cry or laugh.

"I did tell you... you came late... but couldn’t stop you, huh!"

Yang Linglong pouted her lips, looking at Lin Fan shyly.

Who knew such a thing would happen at this time.

"Forget it... I’m going to take a shower!"

Lin Fan got up with a wry smile on his face.

He walked into the bathroom and showered with cool water for a good half hour.

Only then did he feel slightly relieved.

"So tonight... are you staying here?"

Looking at Lin Fan’s pained expression, Yang Linglong asked softly.

The feeling was like that of a child who had done something wrong.

It was incredibly touching.

"Of course, I’m staying, just don’t make me sleep under the bed."

Lin Fan said with a laugh, as he embraced Yang Linglong in his arms.

He headed towards the bedroom.

"No worries, Ning Mengyao is busy doing a live stream. I just saw that the sleep-inducing blooms have opened, and a hundred insomnia experience officers, along with her, have all fallen asleep. How could they come to my house?"

Curled up in Lin Fan’s arms, Yang Linglong suddenly changed the topic.

"If you don’t go home, won’t your wife come checking?"

"She must have fallen asleep by now."

Lin Fan sighed with a rueful smile.

This taste of an affair.

Truly delightful!
