43: The Dragon King is forbearing? Then take two slaps from me.

Lin Yi learned about the Dragon King Hall's news as soon as he asked Medical Immortal.

Although Medical Immortal had slapped Lin Yi twice last night, he was still his biological father and loved him, so he naturally wouldn't ignore his son.

Even if he had two wild dads.

He also took the opportunity to tell Lin Yi that True Person Yulong was the Old Dragon King of the Dragon King Hall.

After exchanging information and combining it with details like the three-year agreement, the Dragon King Hall, and the Old Dragon King, both suspected that Lu Gui was the current Dragon King of the Dragon King Hall.

This so-called period of 'settling' was actually to improve the new Dragon King's state of mind; as the leader of an assassin organization, a poor state of mind wouldn't do.

At night, Lu Gui carried a large jar of wine to find Lin Yi.

He couldn't help it; the events he encountered at Old Madam Liu's place today filled him with worry.

He kept feeling something was wrong, yet he had no concrete evidence.

Then he suspected he was just being paranoid.

So troubled, he decided to find his good son for a drink.

"My son, come, have a drink with your dad."

He was becoming more and more accepting of his identity as Lin Yi's godfather.

With something on his mind, he came to drink under the moon with his good son.

But Lin Yi was different; what he had said back then was to become sworn father and son, which should be a reciprocal father-son relationship.

Not the current situation where he was the son and Lu Gui was the father.

And there was Xiaohua... Having been an orphan since childhood, he had his first father, and then, for the first time, spent a night of passion with the woman he loved.

How could things have turned out this way?

Why would his beloved father and dear Xiaohua... Thinking of this, Lin Yi immediately picked up the wine jar and chugged the wine fiercely.

Before long, more than half the jar was gone.

"Good, truly worthy of being my Lu Gui's son!" Lu Gui also picked up the wine jar and gulped down the rest.

He drank in big mouthfuls, with all the overflowing wine spilling onto his clothes.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, Lu Gui noticed a strange smell in the wine, just like the strange smell he had detected in Xiaohua's room that morning.

Lu Gui's heart sank, and his eyes widened abruptly.

Could it be?

Xiaohua and Lin Yi?

My old darling and my good son?

Damn it!

Extremely angry, Lu Gui smashed the wine jar down, startling Lin Yi.

"Dad, what's wrong?"

"Hmph." Lu Gui took a deep breath, telling himself internally that the three-year agreement hadn't arrived yet, and he still had to—endure!

He shook his head, suppressing his emotions, "Nothing, just too little wine, not enough to enjoy ourselves."

"That's simple." Lin Yi immediately went to the wine cellar and brought out several more jars of wine.

Drink, drink to our heart's content!

"Where is this strong smell of wine coming from?"

Suddenly, both father and son heard a familiar voice, with a hint of disdain.

It was Ruyan / Second Senior Sister!

A thought flashed through their minds, and they quickly composed themselves, picking up wine cups and pretending to be elegantly drinking under the moon, a scene of poetic beauty and father-son tenderness.

But when the person approached and they got a closer look, their hearts instantly shattered into several pieces.

That damned Shen Qing was also there, and he was very close to Liu Ruyan, arm in arm, as if they were a married couple.

"Senior Sister, how could you be with him?!"

"Ruyan, how could you be with him?!"

Hearing both 'Senior Sister' and 'Ruyan' made Liu Ruyan feel a wave of disgust.

"First, don't call me Senior Sister. Even when we were studying medicine, my relationship with you wasn't good."

"Second, I've told you many times not to call me Ruyan. Have you become incapable of understanding human speech?"

She frowned, addressing them one by one.

She had originally planned to enjoy the moon and stroll with Shen Qing, but encountering these two in the courtyard immediately soured her mood.

In her eyes, these two couldn't be considered normal people: one was a hooligan, the other had no backbone and let himself be ordered around, shamelessly staying in the Liu family.

All day long, they would bring up that tattered marriage contract.

She had said many times that she would never acknowledge or agree to the marriage contract; he could have anything else—spirit stones, pills, money, etc.

Lu Gui, relying on Old Madam Liu's protection, would bother her every now and then.

"Little Turtle, don't get excited. I'm new here, and Ruyan is just showing me around the Liu family." Shen Qing said, deliberately extending his hand and wrapping it around Liu Ruyan's soft, jade-like waist.

Warm fragrance and soft jade in his arms.

Unlike Lin Yi's Mu Jingxing, this was truly warm fragrance and soft jade.

Liu Ruyan's pretty face flushed, but she didn't stop him.

"Let go of your hand!" Lu Gui exploded in anger.

"This is my hand. I can hug whoever I want." Shen Qing smiled, "Why don't you hug her? Don't you like her?"

At these words, veins bulged on Lu Gui's forehead, his anger burning, accompanied by a faint pang of sadness.

He did want to hug her, but Liu Ruyan wouldn't let him!

Lu Gui: "You...!"

Slap—!

Shen Qing went up and slapped him.

"'You' what 'you'? Don't you have any manners?"

Lu Gui: "I..."

Slap—!!

"'I' what 'I'? Can't you speak properly?"

Shen Qing slapped him again with his backhand.

He had wanted to experience slapping these 'Dragon King God of War Soldier Kings' for a long time.

So satisfying!

As a villain, one should slap them hard when they are enduring, and then, when their three-year agreement is up and the Dragon King returns, slap them hard twice more.

Lu Gui covered his face, his expression extremely grim.

"Don't be arrogant, you'll regret it!" Lu Gui gritted his teeth.

Shen Qing gave him a very polite and courteous smile, noncommittal.

Lu Gui was filled with hatred, but the three-year agreement had not yet arrived. Covering the red slap marks on his face, he could only—endure!

"Alright, you two, if you like to drink, then drink. Don't disturb us." Liu Ruyan pouted.

She hadn't wanted to give them a good look to begin with, and now she had even fewer reservations.

Watching the two walk further and further away until their backs were no longer visible.

Whether it was Lin Yi, who had long regarded his three Senior Sisters as his possessions, or Lu Gui, who relied on his marriage contract and fantasized daily about melting the ice mountain, neither of their expressions was good.

It would be strange if they were.

Lin Yi also realized that Liu Ruyan, besides being his Second Senior Sister, was also Lu Gui's fiancée, which meant she was his stepmother.

Yet now she had thrown herself into Shen Qing's arms.

If Liu Ruyan hadn't been there, he would have drawn his sword and killed that Pretty Boy by now!

Lin Yi said, "Dad, didn't you say Second Senior Sister was cold to everyone, like an ice mountain?"

Liu Ruyan had always given him that impression before, too.

"Uh, this..." It was better unsaid. Lu Gui was mortified when it was brought up.

Looking at them, could it be that they already...? Damn it!

"Dad, why is your hair green?"

"That's my damn hat!"

In any case, the two decided to put aside their internal differences and unite against the external enemy.

As for Old Madam Liu's matter, that could be discussed later.

The courtyard, illuminated by the moonlight, suddenly brimmed with vitality.

What a scene: two turtles drinking under the moon.

Just then, Old Madam Liu, hearing the commotion, rushed over.

Upon arriving, she saw her two little lovers looking incredibly disheveled and felt extremely pained.

Lu Gui and Lin Yi saw her, and tears immediately streamed down their faces.

Old Darling is still the best!
