Chapter 407: Chapter 401: Why (5th Update)

"It’s okay!" Su Chen comforted Ling Long, "I had anticipated this!"

Yes, indeed.

He had anticipated it.

Given his lower realm, it wasn’t just that he was now mistaken for Ling Long’s man – that was why the reaction from the Ling Family was so strong – even if he wasn’t misunderstood as such, he would still be mocked.

"Su Chen, you are so kind!" Ling Long’s complexion improved slightly.

Her voice was very soft, but Su Chen still heard it.

His gaze faltered for a moment, somewhat surprised.

’You are so kind’ is a very, very intimate thing to say... coming from Ling Long’s mouth.

Shortly after.

Everyone arrived at the hall.

Ling Zhigao directly ordered the servants to serve the meal.

Before long.

A table full of dishes was brought out!!!

It was extremely lavish.

There were as many as twenty or thirty dishes.

Moreover, Su Chen didn’t recognize a single one.

To be honest, he was stunned.

This was his first proper meal on the Divine Martial Continent.

He had no previous experience.

He was unaccustomed.

All these dishes were meat dishes, very fragrant, and not only that, they also stirred a longing in the heart because they were all Demon Beast Meat, which contains a lot of qi and Spiritual Energy, good stuff for Martial Cultivators.

Naturally, there was a craving.

Uncontrollable.

Su Chen’s facial expression and eyes, naturally, did not escape the notice of Ling Zhigao, Ling Yuan, and others.

Ling Yuan couldn’t help but laugh again, "Young Master Su, have you never eaten Demon Beast Meat before?"

"What do you mean by that?" As soon as Ling Long heard it, she knew Ling Yuan was going to mock Su Chen again and immediately lifted her head, glaring angrily at Ling Yuan.

"Sister, why so agitated? I’m just asking!" Ling Yuan teased maliciously.

"I indeed have never eaten Demon Beast Meat before!" Su Chen honestly admitted.

"Giggle..." Ling Yuan covered her mouth and laughed out loud, "Young Master Su, do you know? In a Fifth-Rank Power like the Ling Family, even the servants get to eat Demon Beast Meat all year round!"

The word ’servant’ was emphasized with extra, extra, extra weight!!!

"Su Chen, won’t you reconsider? The benefits of being a guard for the Xu Family are really good. Just the Demon Beast Meat alone – three meals a day!" Xu Lijun also said with a smile.

Ling Long’s expression had already turned icy cold.

Dogs that eat shit can’t stay away from the toilet.

She thought Ling Yuan and Xu Lijun would stop their mockery, but she didn’t expect...

In the same second, Su Chen suddenly patted Ling Long’s waist.

The meaning was clear, telling Ling Long not to get angry.

He was comforting her.

With that pat.

In an instant, Ling Long’s delicate body trembled, her face which had been cold the second before turned red now, she shot Su Chen an annoyed glance, and then lowered her head.

Su Chen was being too presumptuous.

How dare he touch her?

However, she could tell that Su Chen was not being a hooligan but simply wanted to comfort her, so although she was embarrassed, she couldn’t make a scene.

Especially since her father and other members of the Ling Family were present.

"Young Master Su, since you haven’t had Demon Beast Meat before, why don’t you stay longer at the Ling Family house? You can have as much Demon Beast Meat as you want!" Madam Ling suddenly spoke up, and even picked a large piece of Demon Beast Meat for Su Chen.

It was as if a mother-in-law was looking at her son-in-law.

How wonderful!

But was Madam Ling truly so kind-hearted?

Definitely not.

The intent in Madam Ling’s heart was to have Su Chen and Ling Long become a couple!

Wasn’t that a great thing?

Such a useless person like Su Chen, an ant with no background—if Ling Long were to marry him, it would mean she had no hope at all.

On the contrary, if she separated Su Chen and Ling Long according to her husband’s wishes and found someone like Xu Lijun, who had strength and power, to be Ling Long’s husband, that was certainly what she wanted to see.

"Thank you!" Su Chen could probably guess what Madam Ling meant, but he still expressed his gratitude. After all, one shouldn’t slap a smiling face, right?

"Long Er, you are not young anymore..." Suddenly, Ling Zhigao spoke up, "After the memorial service for your mother is over, you should no longer go to the Burning Heaven Sect!"

He had never wanted his daughter to go to the Burning Heaven Sect.

Because the Burning Heaven Sect was merely an insignificant Sixth-Rank Power compared to the Ling Family.

It was a waste for his daughter to go there.

In terms of talent, Ling Long had the best among his three children, even better than Ling Miao. The only reason she was not as strong as Ling Miao was due to the lack of martial cultivation resources.

But Ling Long shook her head.

She refused!

Why would she give up the excellent martial arts cultivation environment of the Ling Family and instead choose the Burning Heaven Sect?

Because, at least, she was a bit happier living at the Burning Heaven Sect.

At the Ling Family, it was too suffocating.

Apart from her father, Madam Ling, Ling Yuan, and Ling Liao all targeted her.

She was alone and unsupported.

"Alas!" Ling Zhigao sighed. He knew why his daughter was reluctant to stay at the Ling Family, but he, too, was caught between a rock and a hard place.

Although he cherished Ling Long, he also loved his other daughter Ling Yuan and his son Ling Miao, not to mention the words of Madam Ling in his ear.

"Long Er, in fact, I have found a suitable husband for you!" The next second, Ling Zhigao continued.

As soon as these words came out.

In an instant, Madam Ling, Ling Miao, Ling Yuan, and Xu Lijun all had a change in expression.

Clearly, they were all unaware beforehand.

Actually, if Su Chen had not appeared suddenly, he would not have declared it so openly but would have planned to speak to Ling Long privately.

"Father, I..." Ling Long’s face turned pale, and she became anxious, really anxious. She was about to say something when Ling Zhigao interrupted her, "Long Er, listen to your father until the end!"

Thereafter, Ling Zhigao put down his chopsticks and slowly said, "Long Er, in fact, I’ve always felt very guilty about your mother’s death. How should I put it... I’ve been trying to compensate you as much as possible!"

As he spoke, his face showed a touch of excitement: "Over these years, I’ve been looking for a young man of excellence for you!!! Finally, I found one! This year he is twenty-five years old, at the Fourth-Turn Hollow Void Realm Late-Stage, very strong, named Fang Yihong! Not only that, but this young man is also the third disciple of Zheng Ziyin, the Great Elder of the Nan Ling Sect! Marrying Fang Yihong, you will live at the Nan Ling Sect in the future. The Nan Ling Sect is among the best of the Fifth-Rank Powers, stronger even than the Lin Family. From then on, no one will dare to bully you!"

As Ling Zhigao spoke, Madam Ling’s face soured.

Her husband had secretly found such an excellent son-in-law for Ling Long?!!!

She thought that her daughter Yuan’er marrying Xu Lijun was already...

Unexpectedly, compared to Fang Yihong, Xu Lijun was absolutely inferior by a very long distance.

Not to mention the strength, just the background. She had heard of the Nan Ling Sect; it was quite far from the Wind Chant City. Otherwise, the overlord of this region would definitely be the Nan Ling Sect, not the Lin Family.

Not just Madam Ling’s face looked worse, but Ling Yuan’s face was even uglier!

She couldn’t control her jealousy.

Why? Why did this happen?

Recently, she had been proud to have a good husband like Xu Lijun, with his looks, strength, and background.

She thought she had completely outshined Ling Long.

Recently, in high spirits, she was just waiting for Ling Long to come back so that she could have her moment to crush Ling Long. But then...

All of a sudden, the husband her father introduced to Ling Long was much stronger than Xu Lijun by leaps and bounds!
