104: Beauty pregnant ex-husband furious
In the courtyard.
Cao An stopped, panting, staring at Lin Bei, whose face was swollen like a pig's head, with an incredulous expression.
“This is truly evil! The Head of the Clan only needed to hit them a thousand times to subdue them, but I’ve been hitting this kid for three days and three nights, and he still hasn’t given in!”
The more Cao An thought about it, the angrier he got, and he raised his hand for another slap: “Speak, are you willing or not?!”
Lin Bei hung his head, his voice faint: “Hit… hit me to death, I will never yield even if I die.”
Seeing Cao An about to lose his temper again, Eunuch Chu Dong quickly stepped forward: “Master, why don’t we just go for the hard approach? If we keep hitting him, someone might die.”
Lin Bei trembled all over, glaring fiercely at Eunuch Chu Dong, cursing that bastard’s ancestors for eighteen generations in his heart.
He had intended to provoke Cao An to seek a quick end, but who would have thought this bastard would dare to stop him from seeking death!
Su Yan, standing by, was expressionless, looking at Lin Bei with sympathy born of shared suffering.
He recalled how it had taken him a full month to accept his fate, and even now, the memory made his hair stand on end.
“No!” Cao An waved his hand: “The Head of the Clan can subdue women by hitting them, and I, this Elder, don’t believe I can’t deal with this kid! Xiaodongzi, take him down to recover from his injuries first, and when he’s healed, we’ll continue hitting him!”
“Yes, Master.” Eunuch Chu Dong and Su Yan were just about to help Lin Bei up.
“Wait.” Cao An suddenly called out to Su Yan: “You stay.”
Su Yan instantly stiffened, his face falling: “Master, why don’t you let me take him back, and have Eunuch Chu Dong stay instead?”
“Neither of you can run.” Cao An smiled wickedly, then turned to Eunuch Chu Dong: “Go give him some healing medicine, and then you come out and join in too.”
Eunuch Chu Dong was already used to it and didn’t resist much, but he was constantly calculating how to escape: “Yes, Master.”
After the two left, Cao An approached Su Yan step by step.
Su Yan retreated repeatedly, his face ashen.
Outside the courtyard gate.
Cao Nie quickly turned and left.
This scene was truly too unsightly.
Passing through layers of bamboo groves, Cao Nie saw two rigid figures outside the Listening Rain Pavilion.
Experts at the fifth level of the Asking Dao Realm!
Cao Nie threw a True Eye at them.
Name: Ye Xuan.
Cultivation: Asking Dao Realm, fifth level.
Identity: Ye Chen’s biological father, He Jie’s one-night lover, Dao Domain Master of the Azure Sky Dao Domain, Sect Master of the Wan Lei Sect, Liu Su Su’s husband, Ye Shuang Han’s biological father.
…
Name: Xiao Zhan.
Cultivation: Asking Dao Realm, fifth level.
Identity: Yao Yao’s husband, Xiao Bei’s biological father, Head of the Xiao Clan.
…
He quickly restrained his aura and walked towards the two.
These two were able to deceive Cao Jian, so their methods must be extraordinary.
After Ye Xuan returned, he went to ask Liu Su Su about the investigation.
Who would have thought that the sect elders told him Liu Su Su had not yet returned.
Worried, he directly came to the Azure Vast Dao Domain, finding this place based on the location Gray Old left before his death.
Who would have thought that upon arriving, he saw Liu Su Su and his daughter Ye Shuang Han sitting in the pavilion, chatting and laughing.
What he couldn't imagine was that both of them were heavily pregnant.
And they were surrounded by other women.
He couldn't imagine it, and stood there dumbfounded.
He didn't even know when Xiao Zhan had appeared.
Xiao Zhan was equally bewildered.
A hundred years ago, he fell into a ruin, believing he would surely die. Unexpectedly, fate played a trick on him; he not only obtained the inheritance of a Tribulation Extinction Realm peak expert, but also a peculiar fruit. After consuming it, his talent directly elevated to King-tier.
Now, a hundred years later, he finally managed to escape that ruin.
He was originally worried about trouble in his clan.
Who would have thought that trouble had indeed occurred.
The original Xiao Clan had long since ceased to exist.
Having lost his clues, he could only wander around the nearby Dao Domains.
Just one day ago, he suddenly sensed Yao Yao’s aura.
So he followed the aura and came here.
He didn't expect that upon appearing, he would see his beloved wife, whom he had longed for, holding a baby in her arms.
He had been away for a hundred years; this baby could not possibly be his.
There was only one possibility: Yao Yao had remarried, but why was there no aura of his son, Xiao Bei?
Inside the pavilion.
Hong Ling was the first to notice the two unfamiliar figures outside the courtyard, and her brows immediately furrowed.
This was a forbidden area of the Cao Clan; it was impossible for outsiders to set foot here, except for core members.
To be able to sneak in silently, undetected even by Cao Jian, these two’s cultivation must be unfathomable.
She followed their dazed gazes and looked at Liu Su Su and Yao Yao beside her.
“Susu, Yao Yao, do you recognize these two?” Hong Ling lightly touched their arms, while secretly transmitting a message to Cao Nie.
Upon learning that Cao Nie was just outside the courtyard, Hong Ling's taut nerves finally relaxed slightly.
Liu Su Su and Yao Yao looked over at the sound, their previously calm expressions suddenly freezing.
A trace of panic flashed in Liu Su Su’s eyes, and her fingers unconsciously tightened around the hem of her clothes.
Yao Yao’s eyes widened even more, her face filled with disbelief.
“Father, you… why are you here?” Ye Shuang Han suddenly stood up, her voice trembling as she looked at Ye Xuan.
Hearing their voices, Ye Xuan and Xiao Zhan finally regained their senses.
Ye Xuan glanced at Xiao Zhan beside him, his eyes already completely red.
Xiao Zhan’s face was overcast; in just a hundred years, she couldn’t wait, wanting to abandon her clan and son to remarry into this Cao Clan.
“Gentlemen, why don’t we go inside and have a chat?”
Cao Nie’s ghost-like voice suddenly sounded behind the two.
Startled, they instinctively moved to counterattack.
But before they could make a move, a hand had gently pressed onto their shoulders.
In an instant, the terrifying pressure almost suffocated the two!
A Tribulation Extinction Realm expert!
The two looked at each other in horror, both seeing an expression of disbelief in the other’s eyes.
Cao Nie casually withdrew his pressure and strolled towards the pavilion: “Hong Ling, take them down. Susu, Yao Yao, and Shuang Han, stay.”
“Yes, Husband.”
Hong Ling bowed and retreated with the other sisters.
Liu Su Su and the other two swayed slightly, only able to stand nervously in place.
Especially Liu Su Su, who didn't know how to face Ye Xuan at all.
“All sit down.” Cao Nie calmly sat between the three women: “Some things, after all, must be faced.”
The three women hesitated for a moment, but eventually obediently sat down beside Cao Nie.
Watching the women who used to be willful and spoiled in front of them now so docile and obedient, Ye Xuan and Xiao Zhan felt as if their hearts were being cut by knives.
“Please have some tea.” Cao Nie poured tea for the two and made a gesture to invite them.
Ye Xuan and Xiao Zhan’s gazes lingered on Liu Su Su and Yao Yao for a long time.
It wasn’t until Cao Nie called out again that the two finally snapped out of it.
They sat upright opposite Cao Nie, glaring fiercely at him. If it weren’t for their apprehension of Cao Nie’s strength, they would have already exploded and killed him.
“The Head of the Clan already knows your intentions.”
Cao Nie raised his cup and took a sip of tea, saying, “All things in the world are about mutual consent. Coincidentally, their becoming the Head of the Clan’s women was all voluntary. If you two want to blame someone, blame the Head of the Clan.”
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the several people varied.
Liu Su Su and the other two women unconsciously touched their faces.
Recalling the first time they met Cao Nie, they couldn’t help but inwardly grumble: this pervert’s hobby is truly infuriating beyond words.
Ye Xuan and Xiao Zhan saw the nostalgic expressions on their faces and immediately became furious.
“Bang!”
Ye Xuan was the first to lose his patience, standing up and slapping the stone table angrily: “Liu Su Su, aren’t you going to explain? It’s only been a few months, and you’re already pregnant?!”
