Chapter 440: Chapter 438 Crisis Gradually Arises (3rd Update)

”Lu Tianxing, do you know? The first time you saved me, I thought I understood you, but then you vanished into the mist again, just like the sand on a beach, clearly grasped in one’s hand, yet unknowingly slipping through the fingers. Perhaps, from that moment on, I found myself caring more and more for you, even caring about your feelings, caring about what you like to eat.”

Bai Zhiqing murmured softly to herself, a sweet smile flickering across her face, ”Do you remember when I asked you if you would change? You never really answered me, but now I tell you, people change, and so do I. I used to disdain you, but unfortunately, afterwards, I changed—I became concerned about you, got jealous, became unreasonable. I only hope you can remember me....”

Looking at the sweet smile on Bai Zhiqing’s face, Lu Tianxing’s heart was filled with mixed emotions, and he felt quite uncomfortable.

”Wife, I....”

Before Lu Tianxing could finish, Bai Zhiqing interrupted him, ”Lu Tianxing, you don’t understand the pain of being a strong woman. Every day you’re met with looks of fear and gazes that lust after your body. Sometimes, I truly yearn to be like other ordinary girls, to be able to act coy with my boyfriend, show a little temperament, then quarrel and fuss with my boyfriend in the streets, showing off our love, watching movies together, going crazy together.”

”Lu Tianxing, do you know? The amusement park was the second time I had ever been in my life, the first was with my parents, and the second... with you....”

Bai Zhiqing spoke slowly; Lu Tianxing was silent, gently stroking her hair. He never knew Bai Zhiqing had so many things suppressed in her heart, things she couldn’t confide or speak of to others—things she had to endure and shoulder by herself.

These things were too heavy for a woman, so heavy that they took her breath away, forcing her to put on an indifferent facade to show the world she was not to be trifled with.

”Lu Tianxing, I hope if one day you stop liking me, you can tell me. I don’t want to be fooled like an idiot. I, Bai Zhiqing, would rather fail than be deceived. At least I have cried, laughed, and loved, and that’s enough.”

”Moreover, I promise you, I will try to fall in love with you.”

Bai Zhiqing lifted her head and gazed earnestly at Lu Tianxing, giving no ground.

Lu Tianxing looked at Bai Zhiqing’s delicate face and said softly, ”I won’t tell you, because I want to grow old with you, to be with you forever, even if you fall in love with another man, I will still tie you to my side, and no one can take you away.”

”Who do you think you are? The moment I get tired of you, I’ll kick you away and find another man, hmph.”

Hearing Lu Tianxing’s domineering words, Bai Zhiqing gave him an annoyed look, but a sweet smile appeared on her face, even if Lu Tianxing was deceiving her, she was satisfied.

Sometimes what a woman wants is really simple, even a lie can make her feel sweet.

Women can be shrewd at times, and yet so foolish at others, willing to give their all for love.

”Kick me away? I’m like a piece of sticky candy, once I stick to you, you can’t shake me off for the rest of your life. If you dare kick me away, I’ll enforce family discipline.”

Lu Tianxing grinned, his fingers gently touching Bai Zhiqing’s forehead, ”Does it hurt?”

Bai Zhiqing shook her head, a smile on her face, ”It doesn’t hurt. This is a kowtow I made for our grandfather.”

”Old man, did you hear that? Your granddaughter-in-law just kowtowed to you. Don’t you think you should give her a big red envelope, since it’s her first time coming home?”

Lu Tianxing nodded, turning his head to look at the photo on the tombstone, which bore a kind smile, as if he were facing not a photo but a living person standing right in front of him.

Bai Zhiqing knelt quietly beside Lu Tianxing, not speaking, just listening silently as Lu Tianxing told their story.

...

Meanwhile, at the Modu Wang Family Mansion.

Wang Yanzhi sat on the sofa in his study, his expression dark, radiating bursts of murderous intent. Standing in front of him was a thin man.

With a somber face, Wang Yanzhi said, ”What are you doing back here today? Didn’t I tell you to keep an eye on Lu Tianxing and Bai Zhiqing?”

The slender man replied respectfully, ”Master, I have news. Today, Bai Zhiqing and Lu Tianxing left Bai’s Group and went to the outskirts, to Sining Cemetery. There’s no one else with them, just the two of them.”

”The outskirts’ Sining Cemetery?”

A vicious gleam flickered in Wang Yanzhi’s eyes, ”Good, very good indeed. Sining Cemetery is a nice place, with clear mountains and fresh waters, death there saves the trouble of buying a burial plot, just bury on the spot.”

”Master, what should we do next? Shall we send someone to follow them, to prevent any accidents?” the scrawny man hesitated before speaking.

”No need. This matter does not concern our Wang Family. We’re just spectators. It’s the Night Wolf Mercenary Group who’ll act, not us.”

With a cold laugh, Wang Yanzhi waved the man off. Then, he took out his cell phone and dialed a number.

”Mr. Ye Lang, Lu Tianxing and Bai Zhiqing are currently at the outskirts in Sining Cemetery.”

”I know. We’re ready. But are you ready, Mr. Wang?”

”Of course, I’m prepared. However, Mr. Ye Lang, you’d better understand that I can only delay the police response for ten minutes. If you can’t finish off these two in that time, the police will arrive as soon as possible. Also, there are two people from the Yanhuang Group in Modu; you’d be wise to be careful not to catch their attention.”

”Mr. Wang, you’re overestimating them. Give me three minutes, and I will have them taken care of. As for the Yanhuang Group, aside from Sima Lingyun and those old immortals at Yanhuang, the rest are just trash, not worth mentioning.”

”Then I wish Mr. Ye Lang a swift success.”

After hanging up the phone, a chilling murderous intent flashed across Wang Yanzhi’s face: ”Lu Tianxing, Bai Zhiqing, today is the day you die. Don’t worry, after you’re gone, I will send those two old immortals from the Bai Family to join you.”

Wang Yanzhi’s eyes glinted with a cold light, and his whole demeanor resembled a venomous snake. That day at the Jinpeng Hotel, he had personally broken his own son’s leg, turning him into the butt of everyone’s jokes. Today, he needed Lu Tianxing and Bai Zhiqing dead, their blood to wash away the humiliation he suffered that day.

”You made me break my own son’s leg; I’ll take your entire family’s lives for it. Not only that, but I’ll also dig up the bones of your kin, pulverize them, and scatter their ashes; I want to ensure they never find peace.”

Wang Yanzhi’s face brimmed with murderous intent, yet there was a twinge of regret in his heart; it was just a pity that Lu Tianxing would not see his family turned to ashes. Such a sight would have been truly beautiful.

Driven by vengeance, Wang Yanzhi’s psyche had twisted to the extreme. Nothing was too much if it meant getting his revenge.

...

At this moment, Lu Tianxing was utterly unaware that the Wang Family’s crisis was slowly unfolding against him; they had even teamed up with the Night Wolf Mercenary Group, determined to kill him outright in Sining Cemetery.

After spending over an hour at Sining Cemetery, Lu Tianxing and Bai Zhiqing got up, faced the tombstone, and bowed: ”Old man, it’s getting late. Zhiqing and I will head back now. When we have the time, we’ll visit you again. Rest assured, we’ll hurry to give you a chubby great-grandson. When that time comes, we’ll bring him along to see you, and don’t you forget the red packet.”

Bai Zhiqing also spoke: ”Grandfather, you can be at ease. I will take good care of Tianxing for you. I remember everything you told me: he must love me, protect me, keep me happy, and be there for me when I cry. If he dares to misbehave, I’ll teach him a lesson, so he knows the strength of a Lu Family daughter-in-law. Grandfather, I’ve noted everything you just said to me.”

The two returned to their car parked by the road outside Sining Cemetery.

Lu Tianxing took several deep breaths, collected himself, and looked at Bai Zhiqing with black lines on his face: ”Wife, what did you just say? The old man told you to discipline me? Why didn’t I hear him say that?”

Bai Zhiqing gave Lu Tianxing a sidelong glance and huffed, ”Hmph, of course, you didn’t hear it. The old man told me specifically. He said you’re too naughty and that I need to discipline you well. He also said to make sure you care for me and protect me for life, put up with all my antics, or else, Grandfather would come at night to find you and give you a thrashing on my behalf.”

Lu Tianxing looked in horror at Bai Zhiqing: ”Wife, are you human or ghost? Although I envy Xu Xian for having ~been with a snake, and envying Ning Caichen for having ~with~a~ghost, that’s as far as my envy goes. I never thought of actually making love to a ghost.”

”Oh really, Lu Tianxing, you dare call me a ghost girl? Have you turned against heaven? Today, I’ll discipline you on Grandfather’s behalf.”

Bai Zhiqing gritted her teeth, making a screeching noise. A ghost girl? Was she a ghost girl? Who had ever seen a ghost that beautiful?

As she spoke, Bai Zhiqing lunged at Lu Tianxing with bared teeth and claws, ready to enforce her authority and teach him a lesson.

Bai Zhiqing clawed fiercely at Lu Tianxing’s arms, punishing him for calling her a ghost girl, for talking about her that way.

Lu Tianxing seemed not to feel Bai Zhiqing’s actions at all; instead, his brows were deeply furrowed, and his gaze swept outside the window.

Just now, he had sensed a strong sense of crisis flashing through his heart, feeling as if he had been targeted by a sniper rifle. But when he focused on it, the sense of crisis vanished without a trace, and he could no longer feel a thing, as if it had all been an illusion.
