The City Lord sat down in dismay, closing his eyes in pain. Did he know there would be a backlash one day? But he didn’t expect it to be so thorough, leaving no room for maneuver. The cover they’ve carefully kept hidden was torn open ruthlessly in such a setting.
"Father, what are you saying?" Luo Yunfei asked, trembling and incredulous, looking at Luo Anling.
Tao Yingying screamed hysterically, "You’re talking nonsense, Yunfei is your son. He is yours, definitely your son! The Luo Family also belongs to Yunfei."
The City Lord opened his eyes and looked at Tao Yingying; he didn’t know when Tao Yingying became so obsessive, mad, and ambitious.
"Tao Yingying, if you want to die, say one more word, and I will kill you now." Luo Anling’s eyes were filled with murderous intent, his voice chillingly cold, "You? A senseless fool, do you think I’d fancy you? When you and your mother knelt in front of me begging, had you forgotten it?"
"No! You’re lying, lying." Tao Yingying shook her head frantically, still shouting with a grim face, "How can you be so heartless towards me? I loved you so dearly; Yunfei is our child."
"Go to hell." Luo Anling couldn’t endure anymore, "You lunatic, you’ve long deserved to die."
"Stop, Anling, she is your cousin after all, the daughter of the Yueban Sect Master!" The City Lord rushed ahead, matching his palm with Luo Anling’s.
With a loud bang, tables and chairs flipped over, dishes splattered.
The City Lord retreated a few steps before steadying himself; he felt tumultuous inside and couldn’t hold back anymore, spewing a mouthful of blood. He looked in horror at Luo Anling, who stood firmly in place with a cold expression. He realized that Luo Anling had decided to kill decisively, surely with full force, so he did not hold back either, matching him fully. Yet the result was like this... Had Anling’s strength already surpassed his?
Luo Yunfei had been stunned, petrified on the spot. Luo Anling’s words were like bolts of lightning, leaving his mind blank and frozen in place.
"Uncle, save me, save me, he really wants to kill me. Really, because of that bitch, really..." Tao Yingying crawled up trembling, grabbing the City Lord’s sleeve, shouting in fear.
"Shut up!" However, in the next moment, the City Lord also slapped Tao Yingying hard on the face. He looked at the incredulous Tao Yingying, scolding angrily, "I thought you would change for the better, that you would restrain yourself, but instead you’ve gone further. Calling that woman a bitch every time, where’s your upbringing? Have you forgotten that Yu Xinlan is Anling’s real wife?" Yes, he was not very satisfied with Luo Anling’s wife’s background, just a loose cultivator without any background, and the son’s aptitude was also extremely poor, unprecedentedly five spirit roots. He looked down on Yu Xinlan, which also affected Tao Yingying’s attitude, making her increasingly rampant, from disdain to hostility towards Yu Xinlan. It pushed Tao Yingying further into losing herself, fueling her ambition.
"Uncle, why do you hit me too?" Tao Yingying covered her face, looking at the City Lord in disbelief.
Xu Zihai sat awkwardly in his seat, unsure whether to speak out or take his leave.
"Ha, it’s hard for you to remember that Xinlan is my wife." Luo Anling laughed mockingly, "I should have done this long ago. It’s too late, too late. You can protect this bitch today, but what about in the future, can you protect her for a lifetime?"
