In the original timeline, Xiao Chengnuo was kicked out of the Xiao family, but his mother still brought him home from time to time. With Xiao Chengzhe stirring things up, the little father-son affection between Xiao's father and Xiao Chengnuo quickly disappeared.
But now, Xiao Chengnuo has been gone for three years without a word, which has made Xiao's father very worried. In addition, Qingyun's words before she left had a bit of a spiritual intimidation effect on him. For the past three years, Xiao's father has never let go of Xiao Chengnuo. Instead, he feels ashamed and guilty, fearing that he has not done a good job as a father and has ultimately raised his son badly.
Now that he knows his son has not only not been spoiled, but has also achieved great things, how could he not be excited? The guilt that had haunted Xiao's father for the past three years has finally dissipated somewhat.
They were completely unaware of the commotion downstairs.
Qingyun pulled Zou Minchen into her room.
"Do I need you to slap me in the face for me? Hmm?" Qingyun pulled Zou Minchen closer with force.
Seeing Qingyun's displeased expression, Zou Minchen readily admitted his mistake: "No, no, no, baby, I was wrong."
"Oh, Mr. Zou, where did you go wrong?" Qingyun kicked Zou Minchen onto the carpet, then sat on the bed, picked up a book and started reading, while her fair toes were fiddling with the buttons on Zou Minchen's shirt.
Zou Minchen's eyes darkened, and he could barely restrain himself from kissing Qingyun's ankle. His Adam's apple bobbed twice, but fearing Qingyun's anger, he could only force himself to confess his mistakes: "I shouldn't have let you stay in the house Zou Qiyao used to live in, I shouldn't have let Zou Qiyao provoke you time and time again, I shouldn't have..."
"Hmm, it seems you know quite a bit about it?" Qingyun looked up from the book and glanced at Zou Minchen.
Zou Minchen boldly kissed Qingyun's toes and said, "I promise there won't be a next time."
As he spoke, a dark glint appeared in his eyes. Having gained her, he was even more reluctant to lose her; having spent so much time with Qingyun, he couldn't bear the thought of her leaving.
Not even for a second! He could spoil Qingyun and dote on her in every way, but there was one condition: Qingyun had to stay by his side.
If Qingyun kicks him out again tonight...
Some dark thoughts resurfaced in Zou Minchen's mind.
Qingyun watched the man's eyes shift, chuckled, and slapped away the inappropriate thoughts in his mind: "What are you thinking about? Hmm?"
"No!" Zou Minchen retracted his fangs in a second, his obedient appearance making it seem as if a dog's tail was wagging behind him.
Qingyun glared at him, then got up and went into the bathroom to wash up. Zou Qiyao's sudden intrusion today had indeed made Qingyun extremely uncomfortable; just thinking about him made her feel physically disgusted.
Therefore, Qingyun was not prepared to forgive Zou Minchen so easily.
Listening to the sound of water outside, Zou Minchen was initially distracted, but then his mind became filled with anxiety. He couldn't help but recall the intimate moments he had shared with Qingyun in the past two days; desire came easily, but he didn't have the courage to barge in.
Qingyun is still angry right now...
Before long, Qingyun came out, her bath towel half open, faintly revealing some lingering marks on her chest, which made Zou Minchen stare blankly.
Qingyun walked barefoot to Zou Minchen. Her two slender, white legs tempted Zou Minchen to reach out and hug her, but he coldly pushed her away.
“From today onwards, you’ll be by my side.” He lifted Zou Minchen’s chin and leaned closer, saying with a wicked grin, “I’ll sleep on the bed, you’ll sleep on the floor.”
You can see it, but you can't eat it.
Zou Minchen instantly understood the meaning behind Qingyun's words and couldn't help but cover his face and wail.
A sly glint flashed in Qingyun's eyes. He tossed a set of bedding to Zou Minchen, turned around, turned off the light, and got into bed. He then reminded Zou Minchen, "Sleep well. I don't want to hear you doing anything else."
How am I supposed to sleep?!
"This old monster's body can't hold on any longer," the leader said, raising his longsword to boost morale. "Let's all press on and wipe him out today!"
Upon hearing this, Qingyun chuckled softly, and the silk handkerchief stained with golden blood in her hand quietly burst into flames, leaving not a trace of ash.
"You are the hundredth."
Upon hearing this calm voice, the leading man's raised sword trembled slightly, and a hint of fear flashed in his eyes.
Qingyun is a villain, although he didn't understand what "villain" meant until yesterday.
Until yesterday, the Heavenly Dao watched as ninety-nine chosen ones perished at its hands, and finally could not bear it any longer. It forced Qingyun's soul to leave his body and controlled him to reincarnate, preparing to wear down his energy world by world.
Qingyun only learned a little information during his confrontation with the energy that the Heavenly Dao had planted in his body.
This time, the "chosen one" wasn't wrong; Qingyun truly couldn't hold on any longer. Although his cultivation was profound, he was utterly powerless against the will of Heaven.
There's always a way.
Qingyun reached out and unleashed a burst of sword energy, attacking the leading man without warning.
As soon as the attack was launched, the entire sky suddenly darkened.
They've arrived!
A glint of light flashed in Qingyun's eyes. He had been wondering how the Heavenly Dao would react if he were willing to destroy his soul rather than submit to it.
The man leading the group at the foot of the mountain barely managed to block Qingyun's attack, but the next attack followed one after another, each more ferocious than the last.
Dark clouds slowly gathered above Qingyun's head, their color already as black as ink.
Qingyun appeared frantic, like a trapped beast struggling for its life, yet his eyes held an extreme calm. His target wasn't the "protagonist" below the mountain, but the Heavenly Dao!
Finally, a thin, black bolt of lightning broke through the clouds and descended towards Qingyun.
Qingyun's eyes flashed, and a barely perceptible smile appeared on her lips.
