191: Chapter 191 Terrified

Meanwhile, inside the manor, Ye Qing also sensed the situation outside.

With a step, he charged toward the exterior.

Outside.

Many young women also looked toward that direction; they had heard the shouts from outside the courtyard walls as well, though they were filled with doubt.

Who would come here so late at night?

Just as they were about to go check it out, they saw Ye Qing rush past.

At this moment, Jing Yue was so terrified that all color had drained from her face. She pressed herself tightly against the wall, shivering as she looked at the Black-robed figures in front of her and the Giant Tiger above her head. It was terrifying; this scene was simply too terrifying.

But in the next instant, a figure swept out.

“Go!”

Ye Qing arrived beside Jing Yue and gestured with his hand. Seeing Ye Qing approach, the Six-Winged Sky Tiger flashed with light, instantly shrinking into its small form and heading back to eat.

As for the shadow puppets on the other side, they turned directly into shadows and vanished into the ground.

This!

Watching the shadow puppets' movements, Jing Yue's eyes widened in shock, unable to believe what she was seeing.

How did he do that?!

They just vanished straight into the ground!

Then, Jing Yue saw the figure that had arrived.

So handsome!

And he had just come out from the villa.

That must be... Brother-in-law!

“Brother-in-law?!”

“Hmm?!”

Looking at Jing Yue, Ye Qing recognized her instantly. It was too easy; she looked almost exactly like Jing Yao!

However, compared to Jing Yao, her figure was still a bit slender.

“Well, you certainly didn't get it wrong.”

Ye Qing looked at Jing Yue and spoke. Hearing this, Jing Yue knew she hadn't misidentified him.

“Brother-in-law, it’s a good thing you came out in time. I really thought I was going to die just now.”

“Haha, don't worry, those are all part of my power. But why did you suddenly come over?”

...

After the two exchanged a few words, the villa's main gate opened.

Jing Yao and the others came out from inside.

Jing Yao looked at Jing Yue, startled for a moment before her face filled with surprise. “Xiao Yue, why are you here?”

“Older Sister, I was at the Modu Barrier and hadn't heard from you for a long time. Later, I went to find Great Uncle. He said you and Brother-in-law had formed a Contract and are now at the Jiangcheng Barrier. Plus, City Lord Qian of the Jiangcheng Barrier just gave Great Uncle a report saying a mineral vein was discovered here, so Great Uncle sent people to check it out.”

“I asked Great Uncle, and he said I could come along, so I did.”

...

In a few sentences, she explained the whole situation.

Nearby, Zhou Lingxue and the others were also amazed by how similar Jing Yao and Jing Yue looked.

However...

At that moment, they glanced at each other, smiles of mutual understanding appearing on their faces.

They were just wondering if a new sister would join them, and didn't a ready-made one just arrive?

Plus Zhu Yin...

Thinking this, they also looked toward Zhu Yin nearby.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Zhu Yin's face was filled with confusion.

Wait, why were they suddenly looking at her?

Beside them, Liu Fang looked at Jing Yue and frowned. This meant that compared to Zhu Yin, this Jing Yue was even more of a 'favored one' due to her proximity.

One had to strike first in these matters; otherwise, they would be pushed to the back of the line.

However, Ye Qing had already contracted so many Spirit Tools; who knew how many more he could Contract?

If he couldn't Contract more, wouldn't that be the end of it?

“Alright, let's not just stand here. Let's go inside and talk,”

Ye Qing said, inviting Jing Yue inside.

After Jing Yue entered, the Six-Winged Sky Tiger saw her and flew toward her.

“Ah!”

Jing Yue looked at the white tiger and immediately remembered the massive tiger from earlier.

“This tiger... it couldn't be the cub of that Giant Tiger from just now, could it?”

As Jing Yue spoke, Jing Yao, standing nearby, covered her mouth and chuckled softly.

Seeing her Older Sister's expression, Jing Yue held the Six-Winged Sky Tiger and stroked it in her arms.

Then she looked at her sister huffily. “Older Sister, what is it? Did I say something wrong?”

“My silly sister, you didn't just say something wrong. The one in your arms isn't its cub; it's that same Giant Tiger from earlier, just shrunk down.”

Boom!

That one sentence left Jing Yue stunned on the spot. She looked blankly at the Six-Winged Sky Tiger in her arms, her lips twitching.

“Quick, quick, quick, help me take it away!”

Jing Yue sounded like she was on the verge of tears. Such a ferocious Giant Tiger had actually turned into such a cute appearance.

It was truly too deceptive!

“Alright, alright. You should stay in the manor for now. The people sent by King Fenghai from Modu should have gone to find City Lord Qian. City Lord Qian is still mining the vein; if they want to inspect it, just let them. We should rest for the night.”

“Okay, I'll go take a bath first. There was too much dust on the road.”

“I'll take you,” Jing Yao said from the side.

As Jing Yue enjoyed her hot bath, she thought about Ye Qing. She had to admit, this brother-in-law of hers was truly too handsome—even younger and more handsome than the rumors suggested. Moreover, his strength was powerful, and he had such special abilities.

Thinking about it, Jing Yue decided to go find her sister later to ask more about her brother-in-law's deeds.

After she came out, she prepared to go find her Older Sister, but as she approached her sister's room...

She heard some noises.

Oh, this.

Jing Yue's face flushed red instantly. This, this, this... she couldn't disturb this.

She had come at a very bad time.

Subsequently, she walked toward the other side.

Over there, Liu Lianmeng and the others were sitting together and chatting.

“Sister Jing Yue, you're finished with your bath! Come, come quickly, have some snacks. Let me tell you, these are famous snacks from the Jiangcheng Barrier. They're delicious, try some.”

“That's right, Sister Jing Yue, come quickly.”

“We're all family, don't be polite, just eat.”

...

As everyone spoke, Jing Yue hadn't expected the sisters here to be so warm and welcoming.

“Thank you, sisters. I didn't bring any gifts this time. When you come to Modu in the future, I'll definitely make up for it.”

“Oh, don't be so formal.”

“In the Modu Barrier, I heard about the achievements of Brother-in-law and you sisters fighting together. I wonder if there are any other impressive points or feats of my brother-in-law that I don't know about.”

“I want to hear them; after all, he's quite a legend.”

“Oh? Since you mention that, I have plenty to say. Your brother-in-law has too many impressive points and feats,” Yin Luoqing said, a mischievous smile playing on her face.

Just as she was about to speak, Li Ziqin quickly reached out and covered her mouth.

Li Ziqin was truly afraid this girl would say something she shouldn't.

After all, given her expression just now, it would be very easy for her to mention *that*.
