Chapter 133 - 133 132 Dongfang Changhe_1

133: Chapter 132 Dongfang Changhe_1 133: Chapter 132 Dongfang Changhe_1 Zhao Ziyu gave Lv Zhong a wry smile, “That’s exactly why it’s been rough for our Yan City police. Our superiors want us to solve the case as quickly as possible. Hence, we thought of you.” “What does this have to do with me?” Lv Zhong rolled his eyes at Zhao Ziyu, shrugged and said, “I’m just an ordinary student, don’t get me involved. Sёarᴄh the nôvel_Fire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. So, sorry, but this time, I truly am incompetent.” Lv Zhong declined again. He wanted to inconspicuously establish contact with the Soul-Devouring Worms hiding in the Profound Yin Demon Sect through the [Queen’s Fluctuation], to check on the throat-cutting man Mingyu and the Innate Peak Realm cultivator Ming Yue Po. This was because the information that Zhao Ziyu brought had surprised him. The previous throat-cutting man Mingyu was indeed emasculated by Dongfang Linglong. There was absolutely no possibility for him to harm other women. On top of that, at the time, Lv Zhong had ordered a considerable number of [Soul Devouring Bugs] to directly destroy Mingyu’s memory, making him a complete idiot incapable of recovering in such a short period of less than three months. However, the appearance of the second throat-cutting man made Lv Zhong suspicious if there was any connection with Mingyu. Perhaps Mingyu taught the incomplete Yuhua Jue to someone else, or maybe there’s another person who understood the Yuhua Jue. “Little Zhong, don’t be so quick to refuse…” Seeing that Lv Zhong still didn’t want to help, Zhao Ziyu spoke again: “Alright, if not for the monk’s face, you should at least consider the face of Buddha. It’s okay to refuse me, but you shouldn’t refuse Sister Linglong. If that criminal isn’t caught, Sister Linglong will never rest easy…” “Telling me this is useless!” Lv Zhong remained unmoved and shook his head: “And, I would advise you all to stay away. With just twenty or so of you, even if you find the throat-cutting man and the ones who saved him, I’m afraid you’ll end up like meat dumplings hitting a dog, vanishing without a trace.” Having said this, Lv Zhong turned and began to walk toward his old house. The people on the scene didn’t expect Lv Zhong to react in this way, and they all paused for a moment. Only the mysterious woman’s eyes flashed with a glint of inquiry, as if she wanted to see straight through Lv Zhong. “Kid, you’re quite arrogant…” Just then, a cold retort rang-in. An elegant man standing next to Dongfang Linglong suddenly appeared, blocking Lv Zhong’s path. His cultivation was at the peak of the Inner Qi Stage 4, thus the man who seemed to be in his early thirties felt rather complacent. He cast a faint glance at Lv Zhong, still maintaining his superior air: “Kid, how dare you belittle us?” “Get out of the way!” Lv Zhong squinted slightly, a sign that he was on the verge of losing his temper. The man blocking Lv Zhong suddenly felt as if his breathing was somewhat stifled, vaguely sensing that he seemed to be stared down by an ancient fierce beast. However, this feeling vanished instantly, leading him to believe it was an illusion. Of course, he would never connect this feeling with the student in front of him. Moreover, he felt a surge of rage when he saw that Lv Zhong did not take him seriously. “Kid, are you seeking death—” At this point, his Inner Qi started to be activated, he glared at Lv Zhong with a cold gaze. “Dongfang Changhe, I warn you, don’t mess around…” Dongfang Linglong’s face changed when she noticed that Dongfang Changhe seemed to mean harm to Lv Zhong, and she warned him sternly. It was better when Dongfang Linglong didn’t speak, but once she did, Dongfang Changhe looked even more ferocious. Currently, it was well-known in the Dongfang family that Dongfang Linglong was almost harassed by a person from the mortal world. Although rumors were that Dongfang Linglong was saved by a mysterious person, many believed that Dongfang Linglong might have been violated. This made those who secretly regarded Dongfang Linglong as taboo to seethe with anger, wishing to tear the criminal apart. Dongfang Changhe was one of them. Interestingly, although Dongfang Linglong is the legitimate daughter of the current Dongfang family’s patriarch, she’s not the main daughter. As the Dongfang family is a genuine ancient martial arts family, they cling to traditions, and Dongfang Yunkong is just one of it. Naturally, Dongfang Linglong didn’t have much status in the family. Moreover, Dongfang Linglong’s constitution wasn’t suitable for practicing true ancient martial arts—in the eyes of the Dongfang Clan’s experts—which meant most women like Dongfang Linglong were usually treated as tools for internal family or cross–family alliances. This is the greatest value and the greatest sorrow of a concubine’s daughter from a large family. However, the members of the Dongfang clan are oblivious to the fact that Dongfang Linglong possesses the true Profound Yin Chilling Female Body, which is a rather good constitution for cultivation. Her constitution for cultivation even surpasses that of Lv Zhong. This time, the Dongfang family really overlooked something important. In Dongfang Changhe’s eyes, even if Dongfang Linglong couldn’t practice ancient martial arts, her supreme beauty alone would be enough to compensate for her shortcomings in cultivation. It could be said that Dongfang Changhe was determined to marry Dongfang Linglong. “Linglong, the one who saved you last time, it was him, wasn’t it?” Dongfang Changhe looked at Dongfang Linglong with a sinister gaze, feeling a deep and nameless surge of ruthlessness in his heart. There was no need to ask Dongfang Linglong, as he, who had been constantly paying attention to her, had long since investigated everything. If he wasn’t in the midst of the family’s special trial three months ago, he would’ve stormed Yan City to personally cripple Lv Zhong. Of course, this was just Dongfang Changhe’s wishful thinking. “What’s it to you whether it was or wasn’t? If you harm Lv Zhong, you can forever give up any fantasies of marrying me,” Dongfang Linglong’s voice was icy, like a millennium-old glacier. What? A flash of raging fury kindled in Dongfang Changhe’s heart, giving birth to an infinite desire to kill. He never thought that Dongfang Linglong would speak to him this way for the sake of a stranger. At this moment, he felt an even stronger impulse to directly terminate Lv Zhong. However, in hopes of eventually winning the beauty, Dongfang Changhe suppressed his desire to kill and his anger. “Why would I ever harm this lad, haha…” With a hypocritical smile, Dongfang Changhe glanced at Lv Zhong, then continued, “If it’s true, I would naturally show him my great gratitude. If it’s not, I could just try to get along with him.” Lv Zhong cast a deep glance at Dongfang Linglong. Seeing her defending him like this, his expression finally eased. As for Dongfang Changhe on the side, he really didn’t care much about him. “Hmph, I hope you are as sincere as you say you are…” Dongfang Linglong was well aware of Dongfang Changhe’s character and a spark of worry flashed across her eyes. Lv Zhong, penniless and without power, would probably be doomed if Dongfang Changhe considered him an enemy. At this moment, she suddenly felt that it would have been best if Lv Zhong hadn’t saved her before. With a sigh, a bitter taste filled Dongfang Linglong’s heart. She gently walked up to Lv Zhong, staring at him with a somewhat complex gaze. A hint of tenderness flickered in her eyes as she finally said, “Lv Zhong, I know you hold a grudge against my mother. However, she didn’t have a choice back then. I hope you won’t blame her.” Dongfang Linglong was not foolish and noticed that Lv Zhong seemed to avoid her and even appeared to disdain anyone from the old Zheng family. She couldn’t help but suspect that Lv Zhong might have already learned about the past conflicts between the Lv and Zheng families, especially the relationship between her mother, Zheng Shuyu, and Lv Zhong’s father, Lv Tianlin. That’s why she said so. “Don’t be so presumptuous.” Lv Zhong felt a strange warmth in his heart when he noticed the unusual look in Dongfang Linglong’s eyes, but his tone was still somewhat indifferent. However, after sensing Dongfang Linglong’s goodwill, he added subconsciously, “Hmm…you should find someone to help you remove that aphro… poison in your body as soon as possible. It will be triggered in two months. As for the offender, you’d better not go looking for him. He has powerful backing…” His voice even softened unexpectedly. Although Lv Zhong had let go of his resentment towards Dongfang Linglong, he didn’t want to accompany her in her search for the offender, Mingyu. This was because Lv Zhong knew that there was a powerful Innate Pinnacle cultivator by Mingyu’s side. The relationship between him and Dongfang Linglong hadn’t reached the point where he would risk his life for her. “Bastard!” Dongfang Changhe’s face turned pale with anger once again, his eyes filled with unabashed killing intent. He could sense an elusive bond of affection forming between the two of them, something he absolutely didn’t want to see.
