Chapter 55: Descendants of the Yue Kingdom
A moment later, Xiaoyao Lang came into the room carrying a jar of wine and said with a hearty laugh, "This wine is quite good, very mellow and fragrant. You should try it!" He then filled Yu Linglong's cup.
Yu Linglong took the wine glass, took a sip with pleasure, and smiled, "It's fragrant and mellow, truly a top-quality wine!" She then drank it all in one gulp.
Xiaoyao Lang was once again captivated by Yu Linglong's sweet smile and couldn't help but glance at her a few more times.
Yu Linglong rolled her eyes and said softly, "I asked you to drink with me, but you're still distracted."
Xiaoyao Lang chuckled and said, "It's just that the beauty of the woman is too captivating, so I'll drink this bowl to express my apology!" He then poured a bowl and drank it all in one gulp.
Seeing this, Yu Linglong laughed and said, "Hmm! This is the most satisfying way to drink!" After saying that, she actually picked up the wine jar, took a few sips, and then handed it to Xiaoyao Lang.
Xiaoyao Lang took the wine jar and said with a hearty laugh, "I didn't expect you to be such a drinker! I'll drink with you!" He then hugged the jar and drank heartily.
The two drank for a long time, and when they were both drunk, Yu Linglong threw down her wine cup and collapsed onto the table. Xiaoyao Lang quickly helped her up, and Yu Linglong, her face flushed, whispered, "I'm tired, don't pull me up, I want to rest."
Xiaoyao Lang carried Yu Linglong into the bedroom and placed her on the bed. Looking at Yu Linglong in his arms, he saw her red lips and rosy cheeks, her beauty beyond compare.
She whispered, "Linglong, you are so beautiful!"
Yu Linglong looked at Xiaoyao Lang with alluring eyes and whispered, "I know!" Then, she touched Xiaoyao Lang's face with her hand and slowly fell asleep.
Seeing Yu Linglong fast asleep in his arms, Xiaoyao Lang removed the jade hairpin and nine jade lotuses from her hair, letting her black hair, which had been tied up on her forehead, fall gracefully. He laid her flat, revealing a perfect, beautiful face before him, as lovely as a celestial being, her complexion as smooth as jade. Her voluptuous figure was exquisitely displayed, every part of her captivating.
Xiaoyao Lang, having gazed at the scene for a while, felt his heart race with excitement. He hurriedly shook his head, nearly losing control again. After settling Yu Linglong in, he immediately left the bedroom, fearing he might lose control.
...
In Mianzhu Town, at Xiyu Mountain Villa, Shi Jianfeng and Nie Han arrived at the room at the same time, where the mysterious figure seemed to have been waiting for a long time.
A mysterious, deep voice rang out: "You've finally come!"
Nie Hanhao said, "Having accepted your gifts, I have made a promise and will naturally not break it."
The mysterious man said, "Very well! I understand that you are eager to know my identity. Now, it won't hurt to let you know." Then, the mysterious man slowly removed his black hat, finally revealing Yunshan's true face.
Upon seeing this, Nie Han was immediately shocked: "Ling Xueyan!"
Shi Jianfeng, however, was unconvinced, as if he already knew everything.
Ling Xueyan smiled and said, "Uncle Nie, it is indeed me, Ling Xueyan!"
At this moment, Shi Jianfeng spoke, asking in a low voice, "I wonder why my niece would do such a thing, even helping us to deal with your own father."
Ling Xueyan smiled and said, "Uncle Shi, I already know that you all respect my father on the surface, but secretly you are dissatisfied with him. You have long hoped to get rid of my father, but you have not dared to make a move because you are afraid of Xiyu Suspended. Am I right?"
Nie Han smiled insincerely and said, "Little niece, what are you saying? We truly admire your father!"
Ling Xueyan chuckled and said, "Uncle Nie, there's no need to pretend. My father is dead, and the power of Xiyu Manor is gone. Now everything is controlled by a behind-the-scenes man."
Nie Han asked in surprise, "Huh? Is that really true?"
Ling Xueyan said sadly, "It's absolutely true. If I hadn't worked for them, I probably would have lost my life long ago."
At this moment, Shi Jianfeng asked, "Your father has passed away, and you have become the head of the manor as you wished. What is the purpose of gathering us here now?"
Ling Xueyan smiled and said, "Uncle Shi must know very well that after my father is eliminated, it will be your turn next, and I will not be spared in the end either. Their methods are cruel, their strength is unimaginable, and their ambition is to first control Longyang and then conquer the Northern Border. Uncles, will you sit and wait for your death, or choose to flee?"
Nie Han retorted angrily, "Escape?! I've lived and worked here for decades, where am I supposed to escape to?"
Shi Jianfeng asked in confusion, "Who exactly are they?"
Ling Xueyan said solemnly, "They are all descendants of the Yue Kingdom. The Venerable One calls himself the Brahma Emperor, with the surname Ouyang and the given name Longyuan."
Nie Han stood up and said, "Ouyang Longyuan! Didn't he die twenty years ago?"
Ling Xueyan said calmly, "Twenty years ago, he failed to unify the South Seas, but his martial arts skills remained. Therefore, he faked his death in the martial world and lay dormant in the territory of Xiyu Manor, waiting for an opportunity to make a move."
Shi Jianfeng exclaimed, "I never imagined that such a crazy person would still be alive today."
Ling Xueyan said seriously, "As long as he's around, let alone dominating Longyang City, whether you can even save your lives depends on how you deal with him."
Shi Jianfeng: "Then what are your brilliant ideas?"
Ling Xueyan said fiercely, gripping her sword, "They want to unify Southeast Asia, and the first place they need to take is Longyang City. I am still very useful to them, so they won't get rid of me anytime soon. Therefore, as long as we cooperate sincerely, outwardly serve them while secretly consolidating our own power, when the time is right, the strong will clash, and the victor will be king."
Shi Jianfeng added, "Even if we lose, we will still have leverage and be able to control a region."
Ling Xueyan coldly replied, "That's right. As long as you have enough strength, you can fight for your life."
Shi Jianfeng slammed his hand on the table and said, "Fine! It's settled then, no two minds."
Ling Xueyan looked at Nie Han and asked, "Uncle Nie, what other thoughts do you have?"
Nie Han shook his head and said, "Fine, instead of openly stealing the timber, we might as well secretly replace the beams! Let me hear your opinion."
Ling Xueyan laughed and said, "Alright, from now on we're family. His current instructions to me are to recruit men and horses, so go ahead and do whatever you want. Buying, robbing, and plundering will all be on their heads!" She finished with a strange smile.
A burst of laughter echoed through the night...
Early in the morning, the sound of horses' hooves echoed through Majiazhuang as Murong Hanchan and the others bid farewell and prepared to leave.
Ma Pingchuan: "I wanted you to stay a few more days, but you insisted on leaving, so I couldn't force you to stay. I can only wish you a safe journey!"
Murong Hanchan smiled and said, "Brother Ma, when we come again next time, remember to send the red invitation to the Murong residence in advance when you get married!"
Qiu Xia blushed and lowered her head, avoiding looking at the crowd.
Ma Pingchuan laughed and said, "Of course, we certainly wouldn't forget you all!"
Chunxiang bid farewell to Qiuxia, saying, "Junior sisters, please take good care of yourselves!"
Qiu Xia smiled and said, "Senior sisters! You too, take good care of yourselves!"
Murong Hanchan declared boldly, "The clouds and fog will eventually disperse; we will meet again in the future!" With that, she spurred her horse and rode away.
Xie Yunfeng: "Take care, and see you later!"
Yin Xiaosheng: "Take care, both of you! See you another day!"
Chunxiang gave the two of them a deep look, then rode away.
Ma Pingchuan and Qiu Xia watched the crowd leave. Qiu Xia looked at Chunxiang's retreating figure and collapsed into Ma Pingchuan's arms.
In the Maple Forest Inn, Yu Linglong slowly woke up. Since she had mastered the Xuanhuang Qi Technique, she had never slept so soundly; she had slept very deeply last night. Yu Linglong got up and found that her hair was disheveled, but her clothes were intact, so she couldn't help but smile.
Yu Linglong deliberately asked, "Are you...outside?"
Xiaoyao Lang was setting out breakfast when he heard the noise and hurriedly strode inside.
Xiaoyao Lang laughed and said, "You're awake! I'll go prepare some hot water for you right away."
After several runs, Yu Linglong finally finished washing up and sat down in front of the bronze mirror, her charming figure extremely alluring.
