Chapter 422: Chapter 422: Honey, Are You Not Up to It?

"Lin Fan, stop messing around. This is no joke."

Shangguan Qingyun had not expected Lin Fan to be so reckless.

He actually planned to use an old lady as a stand-in bride.

This was simply a path to self-destruction.

"I’m not joking. Plus, this is also her wish—to sit in a grand red bridal palanquin. It’s not bad to get married off beautifully."

Lin Fan looked at Miao Cuihua with a smile.

"As for the Gong Family, I don’t look up to them, but I’ve never ridden in a bridal palanquin when I got married. This time, it’s like making up for that regret."

Miao Cuihua nodded, smiling.

"Lin Fan, I know you value love and righteousness, but you should also know that this time it’s not as simple as facing Master Miejue. Her master, Fairy Xifeng, known as the White Bone Sorceress, has spent her life amidst killings, with countless bloodstains on her hands, and her power is beyond what you or I can imagine. Trying to outsmart her could lead to unimaginable consequences."

Shangguan Qingyun looked at Lin Fan helplessly.

"Moreover, even though the old lady is willing to replace the young girl in marriage, the age difference is too vast. The Gong Family is not blind; they will notice immediately. When that triggers Fairy Xifeng, our Shangguan Family cannot afford the consequences."

Not to mention the beauty of Shangguan Min Yue, she was truly the finest of the fine.

Far beyond what ordinary women could compare with.

Especially, with such a vast difference between the two.

One glance would have been enough to notice it.

"Looks like they don’t admire you enough. Why not show them what you’re capable of?"

Lin Fan was naturally aware of their concerns.

So, he turned his head and looked at Miao Cuihua with a playful gaze.

"This is simple."

Miao Cuihua coughed lightly.

Meanwhile, she muttered under her breath.

Driven by the flow of energy within her, her coarse hemp clothes stirred.

Rolling continuously,

her wrinkled face began to rapidly regain tautness.

Her slightly stooped back also began to straighten.

In a blink, she visibly grew younger.

If it weren’t for her still wearing hemp clothes,

Shangguan Qingyun would have thought she had performed a grand illusion of changing living beings.

"How about now? Can I get married on your behalf now?"

Miao Cuihua flicked her jet-black hair.

With her well-proportioned features, she now looked barely in her early twenties.

If she were to wear a red wedding dress and put on heavy makeup,

without looking closely, there wouldn’t be too noticeable flaws.

"That still won’t work..."

While the age gap had been addressed, the fake could not become real.

Shangguan Qingyun helplessly waved his hand.

"Lin Fan, you need to understand, this time it’s Fairy Xifeng causing trouble, a force we cannot handle. You might deceive them temporarily, but not forever. There’s no point in fruitlessly persisting. I know you’ve tried your best, but that’s fate. We must accept it. If you don’t leave now, you might not be able to leave at all."

"Fairy Xifeng, so what? She doesn’t know that over the years she’s been trying to whitewash herself, but the blood debts she secretly owes are still unpaid. Don’t worry. Perhaps in your eyes, Fairy Xifeng is significant, but to me, she’s still a minor character. Compared to the big shots backing me, she’s but a little witch in front of a great sorcerer."

Lin Fan looked confidently at Shangguan Qingyun.

Since the adversary had already come knocking,

he naturally had to face the challenge.

"Who is the big shot backing you?"

Shangguan Qingyun had always felt that Lin Fan was no ordinary character.

But to what extent, he dared not rashly speculate.

After all, there were many masters in this world.

"There are some things you’re better off not knowing."

Lin Fan smiled mysteriously, "But I said I would ensure the safety of the Shangguan Family, and I will definitely keep my word. There are things you need not worry about, just prepare according to the demands of the Gong Family, and make it bigger than they expect—since if it’s going to be a commotion, might as well make it a big one."

"This..."

Shangguan Qingyun looked at Lin Fan’s composed expression.

He hesitated involuntarily.

After all, it concerned the lives of more than a hundred members of the Shangguan family.

He truly dared not make such a rash decision.

"What, can’t I, a husband, risk my life for my wife, and you, a father, can’t take a risk for your daughter? Moreover, I don’t need you to do anything, just arrange the marriage procession. As for who gets into the sedan, what does it have to do with you? Even if something happens, it won’t fall on your head."

Lin Fan was embracing Shangguan Min Yue’s slender waist.

A pair of cold eyes filled with authority were looking at Shangguan Qingyun.

Truth be told, he and Shangguan Min Yue hardly had any affection for each other.

But he was willing to fight for her nonetheless.

"I am not afraid of dying... I just cannot bear the dishonor of the entire family... If my death could exchange for my daughter’s safety, I would have taken my own life long ago!"

Shangguan Qingyun clenched his fists.

As the Family Head, he had too much to consider.

Looking before and after, he dared not make any reckless moves.

Perhaps, this was the common sorrow of middle-aged men.

At the age where one has both elders and youngsters to look after.

He had no choice but to change.

"I’m willing to live and die with my sister!"

A childish voice sounded, coming from a seven-year-old boy.

He was Shangguan Min Yue’s cousin.

Even though Shangguan Min Yue was always cold,

she occasionally gave him a sugar pill.

The affection between the siblings was fairly good.

"What about Fairy Xifeng? She can’t just ride on our heads and defecate!"

"Exactly, previously it was the Gong Family’s threat, now it’s Fairy Xifeng; if we continue to live under threats every day, then what’s the point?"

"We might as well die; the Shangguan family has no cowards!"

Several core family members behind couldn’t hold in their anger anymore.

They, who had always been oppressed over the years, had already had enough of the Gong family.

The past compromises had only led to further bullying.

If so, it might be better to go down fighting.

"Fine... I believe you!"

Finally, the words of the crowd gave Shangguan Qingyun the determination he needed.

Since Lin Fan was so confident.

Then what other choice did he, as a father, have?

Thus, the entire Shangguan family began bustling.

Soon, a lively wedding procession took shape under the dying light of the sunset.

But at this moment, Shangguan Min Yue, who was supposed to be the bride, pulled Lin Fan towards the back courtyard.

"Miss, hasn’t the problem already been solved? Why do you still want to go to the bridal chamber?"

Lin Fan looked helplessly at the persistent Shangguan Min Yue.

This girl, whom he hadn’t seen many times, but each time she was a bit abnormal.

"There’s something I can’t figure out, and you must answer me honestly."

Shangguan Min Yue stopped, turned around, and looked at Lin Fan.

"What else is there to figure out?"

Lin Fan shrugged dismissively.

"Why is it that when there’s nothing wrong, you always avoid me and won’t sleep with me, but when I’m in danger, you jump out and declare that you’re my husband? Tell me the truth, are you impotent?"

Shangguan Min Yue thought so seriously for the first time, but still couldn’t understand.

This arrogant man who occupied her reputation, why didn’t anything substantial ever happen?

"Do you need to experience Laozi’s 13,500 catties to be convinced?"

Lin Fan rolled his eyes helplessly.

Why did this sound so familiar?

Yang Linglong seemed to have doubted him like this once, too.
