In terms of looks, Lee Encai, Wei Zichu, Zhu Yingning, and Mo Pinglan each had their own unique charm. They were all on the sa level, stunningly beautiful won who could make any heart flutter. But when it ca to their figures, Zhu Yingning was second to none. Her physique was simply explosive, her long dress bulging in a way that stirred endless fantasies. Her mature, radiant allure and sexy, provocative air were extrely eye-catching.
Mo Pinglan was also quite attractive, voluptuous and lovely. Although a size smaller than Zhu Yingning overall, she could still hold her own. In comparison, Lee Encai and Wei Zichu looked like children. Of course, Lee Encai's long legs still gave her a competitive edge, but she lacked Zhu Yingning's curvaceousness and was relatively less mature.
Wei Zichu was in an even more pitiable state. Being so young, certain areas were naturally on the smaller side… She was definitely feeling self-conscious about it. I'm going to binge on papaya milk as soon as I get ho!
Huangfu Zhan and Wei Shanhe wore even more priceless expressions. They never imagined Lin Tang's charisma could be so overwhelming that even Zhu Yingning would fall for him…
This is bad! If Master Lin marries her, Tang Dingbo will definitely be furious! Even though I'm at the peak of the Acquired realm, I'm not qualified to protect him…
Actually, it might not be a bad thing. Tang Dingbo never said he wouldn't allow Zhu Yingning to remarry. He might even offer his blessings. Master Lin could use this chance to get in with the Tang Sect and rise to the top in a single bound!
Was this good luck or a misfortune? It was impossible to tell at the mont. But one thing was for sure: they were dancing on a knife's edge. The risk was enormous.
Seeing how highly Huangfu Zhan regarded Zhu Yingning, Li Weihai and Pei Huixian knew this woman had an imnse background. The Li Family absolutely could not afford to offend her. At this realization, they both broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, they hadn't insisted on pushing their daughter onto Lin Tang. Competing with Zhu Yingning for a man was tantamount to a death wish.
However, faced with Zhu Yingning's amorous advance, Lin Tang simply pushed her away.
"Sorry, I'm not interested in widows. You'd best give up on your delusional fantasies."
"Ahhh!"
Huangfu Zhan and Wei Shanhe clutched their heads, wanting to tear their hair out. They wished they could seal his mouth with cent! Even if you were going to refuse, couldn't you be more tactful? Your life is already hanging by a thread, and you still have to offend soone so grievously! We already told you the Tang Sect is not to be trifled with. Why are you so incorrigibly foolish?!
Initially, Zhu Yingning had been smiling, extrely confident in her charms. If I throw myself at him like this, Lin Tang will surely be ecstatic and fall at my feet in an instant!
In truth, she hadn't genuinely fallen in love with Lin Tang and wasn't set on marrying him. She had simply reasoned that she couldn't defeat him on her own, neither in martial arts nor in poison. She could only glare at him, completely helpless. So, what could she do? Just watching Yan Renjie kill him wouldn't be enough to quell the hatred in her heart. She wanted to utterly conquer him, to make him her dog for life, to be humiliated and whipped by her.
To achieve that, she had to resort to an unconventional strategy. She believed that once she and Lin Tang were engaged, Tang Dingbo would not stand idly by. Once he made a move, wouldn't Lin Tang have to submit obediently?
Hmph, I really am a genius… Zhu Yingning thought smugly.
She was caught completely off guard when he pushed her, causing her to stagger. Then, hearing Lin Tang's words, she completely exploded with rage.
What did he an, not interested in widows?
What did he an, delusional fantasies?
*Lin! Tang! I'll kill you!*
Zhu Yingning shot her head up, her nimble, snake-like fingers blurring into afterimages. An invisible, poisonous gas erupted in all directions, intending to envelop everyone present.
"Run!" Huangfu Zhan shouted in terror, turning to flee. He frantically circulated his internal energy, barely managing to keep the poison at bay, yet he still felt his entire body weaken, his strength plumting.
Wei Shanhe tried to do the sa, but his internal energy wasn't potent enough to resist the poison's assault. His face imdiately turned dark, and his breathing grew ragged. Wei Zichu and the others were in even worse shape, their eyes widening as they began to suffocate.
At the crucial mont, Lin Tang simply waved his hand nonchalantly. "Ugh, who farted? It stinks!"
In an instant, all the poison vanished, and Wei Shanhe and the others returned to normal.
"Was that you? You have no class at all! Do you want another spanking?" Lin Tang zipped to Zhu Yingning's side, locking her hands behind her back.
"How dare you!" Mo Pinglan snarled, grabbing a poisoned dagger and lunging at him. Lin Tang easily disard her and sent her tumbling with a slap.
SMACK!
Lin Tang landed another slap on Zhu Yingning's pert rear, making her whole body tremble and stiffen as if electrocuted.
"Don't... don't hit !" Her anger instantly evaporated, replaced by sha. She silently regretted her impulsive actions. Not wanting to be publicly humiliated, she quickly surrendered. "I was wrong. It was a mont of impulse. Let go, I won't attack again."
"I should stop just because you say so? Wouldn't I lose face then?" Lin Tang raised his hand again, preparing to strike hard.
"You!" Zhu Yingning's beautiful eyes widened.
"Master Lin, please, don't! For my sake, since this is my celebration banquet, please let this go," Wei Shanhe pleaded, patting his chest with a lingering fear as he rushed to intervene.
Was he kidding? If he just stood by and watched Lin Tang repeatedly humiliate Zhu Yingning, she would surely kill everyone present to silence them, including him. He sighed, already regretting having invited Lin Tang in the first place. The man was just too much trouble!
"Fine. But don't let it happen again," Lin Tang said, still feeling unsatisfied. He patted her rear a couple more tis before finally releasing her.
"..."
Wei Shanhe and the others pretended not to see a thing.
"Hmph!" Zhu Yingning trembled with rage. She was about to storm off, but she couldn't bear to let it go. Instead, she found another seat and glared at Lin Tang from a distance.
Lin Tang paid her no mind and went back to chatting with Lee Encai. Li Weihai, however, quickly found an excuse to pull his daughter away. Just as Lin Tang was about to talk to Wei Zichu, Wei Shanhe also sent her away on an errand.
"Damn it!"
Annoyed at being snubbed, Lin Tang announced he was going out for so air and would be back when the banquet officially started.
Leaving the hotel, he wandered aimlessly. Before he knew it, he had arrived at a food street. The aroma of various delicacies wafted through the air, whetting his appetite. Since he was a bit hungry anyway, why wait? Ti to eat! He rolled up his sleeves, not caring in the slightest if his expensive suit got dirty or slled of smoke and grease. As he walked, he bought a small portion of each snack to try.
"Mmm, not bad, not bad. This is tasty, and this one's flavorful... Hmph, not spicy enough!"
Soon, he reached the end of the street, which opened into a small plaza. The surrounding buildings were mostly low and old, a stark contrast to the bustling skyscrapers around the grand hotel. The residents here were mostly migrant workers, exuding an air of poverty and fatigue. The children, however, were full of joy, running around and laughing. Lin Tang's high-end suit seed utterly out of place. He frowned slightly, feeling an urge to take the suit off and throw it away.
In a corner of the plaza, a middle-aged man and a few young people sat at several tables. A nearby sign read: "Free Clinic."
Lin Tang was about to leave when he recognized one of the young n: Yao Qian, Shang Yuenong's husband!
Heh, what a coincidence. Might as well collect so interest. Lin Tang sneered and started walking toward him.
Although Shang Yuenong was the one who had pulled out Wu Xinyu's teeth and Yao Qian hadn't been involved, in Lin Tang's eyes, they were husband and wife—cut from the sa cloth.
「Previously...」
Yao Qian had spent a fortune on dicinal herbs from the Ninth Floor Pavilion, hoping to give them to Sun Siwei and beg for forgiveness. Sun Siwei, however, had refused to even see him. Fortunately, Sun Siwei's direct disciple, Yan Changlu, happened to be visiting his master. After Yan Changlu's persistent pleading, Sun Siwei reluctantly relented, demanding that Yao Qian run free clinics as a form of penance.
Thus, Yan Changlu, the middle-aged man, ca to help, along with several of Yao Qian's forr classmates. Yan Changlu was the most skilled doctor. Yao Qian and his classmates handled the more common ailnts, and anything they couldn't resolve, Yan Changlu would handle.
For the impoverished migrant workers, the word "free" was a powerful lure. Now that it was nightti and they were passing by after work, many decided to queue up for a consultation. Yao Qian's classmates were all bustling with activity, but Yao Qian himself was distracted. He had sent countless apologetic ssages to Shang Yuenong, but she hadn't replied to a single one, nor had she returned ho.
Sigh, in the past, apologizing a few dozen tis was always enough to calm her down. Why isn't it working now?
He had no idea that Shang Yuenong had gotten into serious trouble and was avoiding him out of guilt. As he was agonizing over this, he happened to turn his head.
"It's you!" Yao Qian stared at Lin Tang, his initial shock quickly replaced by a surge of fury. He believed that Lin Tang was the cause of all his problems: the beating he and Shang Yuenong had received, their subsequent argunt, and now her disappearance.
"You damn scamr, what are you doing here? You're not welco! Get the hell out!" he roared.
Lin Tang was about to send him scrambling for his teeth on the ground with a slap.
"Doctor, doctor, help! Please, you have to save my wife!"
Suddenly, a group of people rushed toward them, carrying a middle-aged woman in a panic. Yan Changlu and the others had been about to ask Yao Qian what was going on, but seeing the ergency, they quickly rushed forward to treat the woman.
"I'll settle the score with you later!" Yao Qian shot Lin Tang a glare before hurrying over to help.
Lin Tang glanced at the middle-aged woman, and his eyes suddenly flew wide.
"Huh?? She's actually..."
