Chapter 857: Chapter 860: Yu Linglong’s Past

At this moment, Lin Yu and Yu Linglong were surrounded by herb gardens with various flowers in bloom, enveloping the small wooden building in a sea of blossoms.

”I don’t care how you think of me, anyway, I’m serious.”

Lin Yu turned around and solemnly looked at Yu Linglong.

Seeing Lin Yu’s serious expression, the usually playful Yu Linglong had a ripple of emotion in her bright eyes, seemingly moved by the sincerity of Lin Yu’s words.

”I know, hehe... I know you are serious. We have a mutual understanding, I can feel it if you were not sincere.”

Yu Linglong also spoke seriously, sitting down on a wooden chair in the small building, and said softly, ”Before you, I had tried to find emotional connection with many men, hoping to find someone who truly loved me.”

”But, hehe... In the world, before you, I hadn’t found a single man who was madly devoted to me.”

”So, the final result, I believe you’ve heard. To get rid of the emotional connection poison I planted, those men were all killed by me.”

”Hehe... This is where the rumor of me liking to kill men comes from.”

Sitting on the wooden chair, Yu Linglong couldn’t help but sigh bitterly while speaking, ”Those flirtatious men, changing their hearts for others, some even got infatuated with my maids, entranced by their beauty... hehe... Even without the emotional connection, I would still kill them!”

Upon hearing this, Lin Yu deeply exhaled and said, ”Linglong, in matters of love, it’s about consent. Even if those men betrayed you, you could punish them in other ways; there’s no need to... kill.”

”Hehe... I like it, not killing them wouldn’t satisfy me.”

Yu Linglong stood up from the chair, walked to Lin Yu, and stared at him, ”Do you know why I have this habit?”

”I’m an orphan, taken in by my foster mother when I was young, and brought home. My foster father was a small businessman, I witnessed their business grow from nothing. I’m grateful for their care, especially my foster mother. She was kind-hearted and took care of me and my foster father meticulously.”

”But, hmph, the story took a dramatic turn. My foster father, having money, crazily sought out women, finding over a dozen mistresses. My foster mother cried daily, yet still pretended nothing happened.”

”But, enduring silently only leads to worse consequences.”

”My foster father eventually proposed to divorce my foster mother and divide the assets!”

”I later found out that my foster father had secretly transferred the family assets elsewhere long before, leaving only goods worth over a million in the household as their shared property!”

”My foster mother had deep feelings for my foster father and naturally refused the divorce.”

”And the result? Can you guess?”

”My foster father, disregarding their shared struggles, actually hired gangsters to deal with my foster mother, who stormed into the house and directly cut her down!”

”I was then already chosen by my master of the Yin Chun Sect, learning alchemy elsewhere, thus narrowly escaping. Otherwise, I’m sure I would have been killed by my foster father too!”

”That year, I was twelve.”

”Since then, I’ve hated and resented flirtatious men immensely. And my master similarly despises such men, which is why she decided to pass her knowledge to me, carefully nurturing me to become the Sect Leader of Yin Chun Sect.”

”Hehe... The first thing I did after completing my training was to kill my foster father personally. Hehe... To avenge my foster mother!”

Yu Linglong rarely recalled her past, but today, facing Lin Yu, she didn’t know why she spoke so much.

The memories were vivid, and as she recounted them, her eyes reddened in excitement.

Lin Yu was deeply moved by the story.

He hadn’t expected that the always cheerful and carefree Yu Linglong had such a past, to have such unbearable experiences.

He walked up to Yu Linglong, hesitated for a few seconds before saying, ”Linglong, it won’t be like that anymore. I will never be that kind of man. But I also hope you won’t continue to resent others; men, women, whatever life and feelings they choose, as long as they’re willing, we should not interfere. I hope I can walk with you, always.”

Yu Linglong’s eyes flickered, she looked at Lin Yu, stepped closer until she was intimately close to him, and softly said, ”I hope for that too. Silly, can’t you just show some practical expression?”

”What practical expression?” Lin Yu was stunned.

”Fool, can’t you just hug me for comfort?”

”Oh...”

Lin Yu took a deep breath, slightly closed his eyes, and opened his arms to hold Yu Linglong in his embrace.

The fragrance was intoxicating, the warmth embracing him. This was the first time Lin Yu had held a woman like this, his own woman, feeling very happy.

...

While Lin Yu and Yu Linglong lived like an immortal couple in Yin Chun Hall, over at Cloud Island Base, Qin Tian and Xiao Zhuang, Zhou Yang were discussing War Dragon’s next moves.

The day after tomorrow is the Asian Mercenary Association’s presidential meeting, and Qin Tian had promised Meng Kuang he would personally attend.

He certainly meant what he said.

Of course, Qin Tian and Zhou Yang knew that the presidential meeting wouldn’t be simple, Skull would definitely exploit the Fierce Tiger Mercenary Group’s extermination to make a fuss.

At that time, a direct confrontation between War Dragon and Skull at the meeting was highly likely.

In that case, the stance of Dahe Mercenary Team and Korea Mercenary Team would be crucial.

But judging from the intelligence Zhou Yang had gathered through his contacts so far, both Dahe and Korea remained indecisive.

Besides, Zhou Yang reached out to them, Skull also contacted them, with Hu Zhengwei personally liaising.

However, facing both War Dragon and Skull, Dahe and Korea were evasive, not clearly indicating which side they’d support.

In such a situation, even if Meng Kuang hadn’t invited Qin Tian, he would likely attend the presidential meeting voluntarily.

”After this presidential meeting, there’s a general assembly where all members of the Asian Mercenary Association will attend. Boss, we must take this meeting seriously. Otherwise, Skull might leverage the assembly to exclude us from the presidency, even expel us from the Asian Mercenary Association!”

Zhou Yang looked at the member list of the Asian Mercenary Association, worriedly saying to Qin Tian.
