157: Future sister-in-law

Stepping out of the villa, Xia Rong glared at Ling Xian crossly. "You don't really want to betray my sister and go after Sister Wen, do you?"

"What kind of talk is that? Am I, Ling Xian, that kind of person?"

"Hmph, you'd better not be," Xia Rong snorted coldly. "Sister Wen's Wen Family is definitely not something my Xia Family can compare to, and she wouldn't even look at you."

"Oh? Who are you looking down on?" Ling Xian curled his lip and scooped Xia Rong up, carrying her into the car.

"Hey, hey, hey! Ling Xian, what are you doing? Let me go, let me go... I was wrong..." Xia Rong was in a panic, her mind going blank. Countless images of her sister and Ling Xian flashed through her head, but she never expected that she would be held by Ling Xian like this.

"You're disgusting! If you don't let me go, I'll scream for help," Xia Rong cried out in panic. "How will I ever face anyone again?"

Hearing Xia Rong's non-stop chirping, Ling Xian gave her a 'tongue massage' without a word, finally making her quiet down.

"Mmm... no..."

Xia Rong originally wanted to take a bite to force Ling Xian to let go.

But in the end, it turned into a light nibble as she sank into it and began to enjoy it.

After a long time, Xia Rong regained her senses and began to think of resisting.

By this time, Ling Xian had already finished and placed her in the car seat.

"Little Chili, Little Loli, you've got quite a fiery temper, don't you?" Ling Xian wiped his mouth. "Can you be a bit quieter now?"

Xia Rong was intimidated by Ling Xian. Her eyes were red, and crystal tears seemed about to fall as she nodded frantically.

"It's fine. For however long you chirp, that's how long I'll kiss you."

As soon as Ling Xian said those words, Xia Rong could no longer hold back her tears.

"Waaaah... I'm going to tell my sister..."

"Still threatening me?" Ling Xian pulled out a thick ancient book, looking as if he intended to smash it against Xia Rong's head.

"Ah!" Xia Rong covered her head, not daring to open her eyes.

But after a few seconds, when she still didn't feel her head being hit, she slowly opened her eyes to look at Ling Xian. She saw that the ancient book in his hand was titled 'Feather Garment Divine Art'.

"This is?" Xia Rong was excited, her eyes widening so much she almost screamed.

"A martial arts cultivation technique."

As Ling Xian finished speaking, Xia Rong quickly pressed herself against him, trying to snatch the technique from his hand.

Ling Xian didn't get distracted by the soft sensation against his chest and instead pulled the book back.

"This is my Ling Family's heirloom technique. It's only passed down to members of the Ling Family."

"With your relationship with my sister, that makes me your sister-in-law. We're one family."

Faced with the temptation of a martial arts technique, Xia Rong didn't care about her sister anymore.

Anyway, her sister liked Ling Xian.

"That means your sister and I are family. Do you count?" Ling Xian gave a mischievous grin.

"Oh, Brother Ling Xian, good brother, I'll listen to everything you say. I can be your inside agent and help keep an eye on all my sister's movements," Xia Rong said coquettishly, forgetting what Ling Xian had just done to her.

"I want you..." Ling Xian smiled wickedly, like a demon constantly tempting Xia Rong to fall into the abyss.

"Get lost, you pervert, you creep! I don't want it anymore." Xia Rong pushed Ling Xian away, her face flushing as she moved to the side.

"Alright, I'm joking. Here." The moment Ling Xian let go, Xia Rong snatched it with incredible speed.

"Hmph, jerk. I forgive you," Xia Rong said haughtily.

She then flipped open the technique as fast as she could. But soon, her brow furrowed. She realized she recognized all the characters, but she couldn't understand them once they were put together.

"Hey, you big jerk, are you playing with me on purpose? I can't understand the writing in here at all." Xia Rong was huffy, her head leaning close to Ling Xian's face.

"You have no foundation at all, so of course you can't understand it."

"Then what should I do?" Xia Rong asked urgently. "Didn't you say you could teach me? Hurry up and teach me, I want to learn. Brother Ling Xian, I'll never say bad things about you again, okay?"

"Take this pill first." Ling Xian took out a low-grade body tempering pill and handed it to Xia Rong.

Xia Rong's eyes lit up as she smelled the pill's fragrance. But just as she was about to put it in her mouth, she thought of the 'learning materials' she had secretly watched late at night.

"Brother Ling Xian... you wouldn't be drugging me, would you?" Xia Rong asked cautiously. " I'm not as pretty as my sister, and you already have her..."

"Are you going to eat it or not? If not, give it back." Ling Xian made a move to snatch the pill back.

Seeing this, Xia Rong no longer hesitated and swallowed the pill in one gulp.

The pill entered her stomach and transformed into a mysterious power that traveled through her body. However, since Xia Rong was not a martial artist, she could only wait for the medicinal power to take effect on its own, which greatly reduced its effectiveness.

A moment later, Xia Rong opened her eyes. Feeling her whole body brimming with energy, her face was filled with a look of pleasant surprise.

"It works!" Xia Rong said excitedly.

"Of course. Look who gave it to you. Let's go find your sister." After Ling Xian finished speaking, he drove off without waiting for Xia Rong's response... to the entrance of Jiangnan University.

Xia Rong was a bit nervous. Ling Xian had taken so many liberties with her today; how was she supposed to face her sister?

But before Xia Rong could think further, Xia Mo had already walked over.

"Little Xian, Little Rong," Xia Mo said with a smile.

Ling Xian nodded. "I just got back to Jiangnan, and I might have to leave again later. Come have dinner with me."

Xia Mo gave him a sidelong glance and teased, "You're always so busy. You haven't come to see me for so long that people were starting to think I didn't have a boyfriend."

"Fine, let's go eat."

After dinner.

"I have some things to do lately, and it's not convenient for Little Rong to follow me. Help me look after her," Xia Mo said, remembering something, as she gave Ling Xian instructions.

Xia Rong was dumbfounded, but seeing that her sister Xia Mo didn't seem to be joking, she nodded obediently.

Her sister wouldn't really be sending her into Ling Xian's wolf's den, would she?

"Alright," Ling Xian agreed... Coral Manor Villa No. 9.

Xia Rong followed Ling Xian into the villa.

When she saw the six women—Mo Xueer, Chi Taohua, Ling San, Su Ruoxue, as well as Wei Zhiruo and Zhang Xuelan—her heart sank.

"You... you... you... holy crap, you big pervert, you really are hiding beauties in your golden house." Xia Rong counted them in shock, realizing that every one of these women would be a stunning beauty out in the world.

Seeing Ling Xian bring another one back—and one who looked quite young at that—Zhang Xuelan and Wei Zhiruo inwardly cursed Ling Xian for being a pervert.

"Why haven't you two left yet?" Ling Xian asked, pointing at Zhang Xuelan and Wei Zhiruo.

"I... wasn't it because I was afraid of that Qi Xiu?" Wei Zhiruo explained.

"Qi Xiu has been dealt with. If you want to leave, feel free," Ling Xian said indifferently.

"And you?"

Zhang Xuelan's brain whirred, but she couldn't think of a good reason, so she just threw caution to the wind and said, "I like the food you cook. I'm here to sponge a meal, is that not okay?"

"Suit yourself. I don't cook on a fixed schedule," Ling Xian explained flatly.

Su Ruoxue, on the other hand, stared at Xia Rong without saying a word.

"Is this your newest girlfriend? She doesn't even look like an adult yet. Tsk tsk~ Ling Xian, you really can bring yourself to do it," Su Ruoxue mocked.

Ever since she had slept with Ling Xian again last time, he had simply vanished.

This made her very angry.

Actually, given her personality and logic, she wouldn't have minded Ling Xian's behavior; the key was that he had disappeared, which was what truly angered her.

"You old hag, watch your mouth. Who's not an adult?" Xia Rong's words were relentless.

"Ahem, everyone be quiet. This is Xia Rong, she's... my... future sister-in-law."
