118: Chapter 118 Jin Yuchan's Two Stupidities

"Dad, believe me! I can do it!"

Jin Fugui lay weakly in his biological father's arms, but his eyes were brighter and firmer than ever before.

Luo Yunkai exhaled a breath of turbid air, bent down, and picked up his son again.

"Dad believes you!"

Jin Fugui managed a relieved smile, closed his eyes, and fainted onto his biological father.

Luo Yunkai looked up at the woman with whom he had just shared tenderness moments ago, his expression devoid of ripples.

He admitted that he was not a good man.

"I am taking Fugui with me. Are you going to stop me?"

Jin Yuchan's hand, hidden beneath her luxurious golden Daoist robe, trembled slightly, the Magical Artifact bracelet on her wrist colliding to emit a pleasant, low chime.

It seemed to reflect her inner turmoil.

Her usually graceful eyes were now veiled with a faint sheen of moisture.

For such a proud and arrogant woman to show such a pitiful expression was hard not to be moved by.

However, Luo Yunkai’s gaze showed not the slightest fluctuation.

"Are you going to stop me?"

Behind him, a mass of colorful spiritual energy gathered.

The spiritual energies of the five different powers intertwined and merged, nurturing a terrifying might.

Jin Yuchan could sense the power contained within that beautiful, five-colored spiritual energy.

When a man is determined to leave, no one can stop him!

Not even a woman's tears!

Jin Yuchan reluctantly stepped back, clearing a path.

Luo Yunkai walked past her, holding his son, his steps showing no hesitation or delay.

Jin Yuchan's voice was hoarse, "Fugui will forever be the Young Master of Duobao Tower!"

Luo Yunkai’s eyes moved slightly, and he finally paused for half a breath, letting out a soft "Mm" before stepping forward again.

Jin Yuchan waited until the aura of Luo Yunkai had left Duobao City before her rigidly held shoulders suddenly slumped.

Crystal tears slid down her exquisitely plump face.

"Plop!"

The tear dropped onto the ground, spreading a small, damp, dark mark that vanished in an instant.

Just like the fragility she had displayed.

Jin Yuchan's expression reverted to its former arrogance; the merchant's smile on her face was welded onto her face like a mask.

She stepped into the air, her figure vanishing from the City Lord's Mansion and reappearing outside the Market Guard camp.

Uncle Dou Kuang, who was simultaneously delighted and pained by the cultivation treasures he had plundered from Duobao Tower, raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"What's going on? Surely Luo Brother didn't leave and Jin Yuchan immediately regretted it, did she?"

"Hiss, no, Duobao Tower honors its promises, she couldn't go back on her word. Could it be..."

Horror flashed in Uncle Dou Kuang's eyes, "Young Friend Luo failed to satisfy her, and now Jin Yuchan has taken a liking to my body?"

"This, this is not appropriate! Young Friend Luo just left..."

Uncle Dou Kuang muttered about how improper it was while moving, instantly appearing before Jin Yuchan.

"Ahem, Fellow Daoist Jin, I know you're anxious, but please calm down first. At least let the scent on your body dissipate first..."

"One hundred thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones per month. You will guard my son's safety in Yunyin City."

"Huh?"

Uncle Dou Kuang blinked, then burst into ecstatic joy, "Deal!"

He transformed into a foul-smelling black wind and chased after Luo Yunkai's direction.

"Fellow Daoist Jin, rest assured, I guarantee your son will be safe! If any flirtatious women appear around Young Friend Luo, I will notify you immediately!"

Jin Yuchan's eyes moved, and she raised her hand, shooting a golden Storage Pouch toward the fleeing Uncle Dou Kuang.

"Inspector Dou, thank you for your trouble. I will add another fifty thousand per month."

Uncle Dou Kuang snatched the golden Storage Pouch and kissed it heavily.

A delicate fragrance from the Storage Pouch drifted into his nostrils.

"DOU! UNCLE! KUANG!"

Uncle Dou Kuang's smile vanished. He immediately placed the Storage Pouch into his space ring, his scruffy face filled with righteous indignation, "Fellow Daoist Jin, leave it to me, and you can rest assured!"

With a "whoosh," he shot off into the distance.

Jin Yuchan stared toward the direction of Yunyin City, silent for a long time.

After a long while, she took out a Level Four High Grade communication talisman, capable of transmitting messages across billions of miles.

Jin Yuchan relayed everything that had happened recently to her legendary Ancestor Grandmother.

The first woman to escape the Mandarin Duck Pavilion!

A few breaths later, the communication talisman emitted a blue light that projected before Jin Yuchan.

The blue light coalesced into the image of a graceful woman.

The woman bore no facial resemblance to Jin Yuchan, but her graceful bearing held a hint of similarity.

Compared to the woman, Jin Yuchan's grace was like the glimmer of a firefly against the bright moon; she was merely a clumsy imitator.

"Foolish!"

The woman's opening words were an unsparing reprimand.

Jin Yuchan silently lowered her head, listening to the instruction.

"Your first stupidity was looking down on Fugui's biological father's status as a destitute Loose Cultivator, allowing that idiot Kong Yishui to persecute Fugui all these years while you smugly believed you were tempering Fugui's Heart-Nature!"

Jin Yuchan's head lowered even further.

As expected, in front of her Ancestor Grandmother, her petty schemes could not be hidden at all.

"Hmph, regarding the events of the past, Fugui's biological father had no choice, but did you have no choice either?"

"Yuchan, everything was your own choice, yet you still feel aggrieved and unwilling. You truly are... sigh!"

The woman let out a long sigh.

"I didn't fail to advise you, yet you still managed to turn things into this terrible mess."

The woman was frustrated beyond measure, "Since it's already like this, why are you rushing to throw yourself at him? This is your second stupidity!"

"Do you really think Fugui will fail to see through your past disdain once he knows the truth?"

"Will that ruthless man who fought his way up among Loose Cultivators not see it?"

"They are perfectly clear about your former attitude; any attempt at remediation is useless!"

The woman grew even angrier as she spoke, "And what did you do? You actively threw yourself at him?!"

"Do you think Fugui's father Dual Cultivated with you because he forgave you? Wrong! He simply thought, 'Why refuse something offered for free!'"

Boom!

Jin Yuchan felt as if struck by ten thousand bolts of lightning, her entire body trembling uncontrollably.

"No, that's not..."

The woman looked deeply at Jin Yuchan, the granddaughter she had raised single-handedly despite having no blood relation, and sighed heavily.

"What's done is done. Doing anything more is useless now."

Jin Yuchan's lips trembled as she looked frantically at her Ancestor Grandmother, "Ancestor Grandmother, I beg you, help me."

The woman looked at those eyes, so similar to the man she deeply loved, and ultimately softened.

"I will send my Disciple to your side. She is a smart person and will help you maintain the relationship between you and Fugui's father and son."

Joy flashed in Jin Yuchan's eyes, "Thank you, Ancestor Grandmother."

"You... sigh..."

The woman's voice blurred and disappeared along with the light projection.

...

"Brother Xin, what has you so happy?"

Xiao Tian was surprised to see Su Xin, usually taciturn and gloomy, suddenly display a brilliant smile like the clearing after a storm.

Su Xin put away the communication talisman, "My mother is coming back."

Xiao Tian was happy for Su Xin, "Really? Then you can reunite with Aunt Su! That's wonderful!"

"Let's go tell the old man the good news."

Su Xin found it amusing; for their father, this probably wouldn't be considered good news.

What was Luo Yunkai doing at this moment?

He was staring at the daily education fund panel with a troubled expression!

[Congratulations Host for obtaining one hundred thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones!]
