This ti, Ming Yue did not refuse. She obediently got up and walked over, cautiously sitting beside Ye Xiu. He had already proven he could kill her with his oppressive aura alone, so hiding was useless.
"Your skin used to be so fair, like milk. How did you make it so dark?"
Ming Yue’s heart nearly leaped out of her throat. Feigning composure, she said, "You are Xuanse, the dicine King, with dical skills unmatched in this world. Surely you can guess how my skin turned dark?"
"For soone to beco dark all over like you... I truly don’t know how you managed it," Ye Xiu said.
Ming Yue was baffled. I’m about to be scared to death, and this is your idea of a joke? She decided to get straight to the point. "Are you suspecting my skin color is a result of my sudden increase in strength?"
Without waiting for Ye Xiu to reply, Ming Yue confessed everything. She held nothing back, explaining how she beca stronger and how her skin turned dark. Facing Ye Xiu, she dared not conceal anything or play any tricks. He had terrified her to the point of psychological trauma.
"Write down the Naless Evil Skill from mory," Ye Xiu said, his interest piqued after hearing her story.
"Alright!"
Ming Yue took paper and a pen from a drawer under the coffee table and obediently wrote out the Naless Evil Skill.
Ye Xiu read it several tis to morize it before burning the paper. He then stood up, stretched lazily, and said, "It’s getting late. Let’s go take a shower and get to sleep."
Ming Yue was stunned for a mont. Us? Shower? Sleep? Could this guy be thinking of...
Suppressing a wave of excitent, she asked, "So... about escaping Jin Ye City and practicing an Evil Technique... you’re not going to punish ?"
"What can’t be dealt with in bed?" Ye Xiu countered.
Ming Yue’s heartbeat suddenly quickened. This is great! As long as I sleep with him, he won’t have the heart to kill . Haha!
Blushing, she said timidly, "Then... you shower first while I make the bed. I’ll go after you’re done."
"I’ll sleep in the master bedroom. You take the guest room," Ye Xiu stated before heading to the bathroom.
Ming Yue was devastated. How could he choose to sleep alone in the master bedroom when there’s a great beauty right here?
She watched Ye Xiu enter the bathroom, and soon, the sound of the shower started. Ming Yue tiptoed toward the door, intending to escape. But as soon as she opened it, she saw Mo Luo standing guard outside, his eyes closed as he cradled a blade.
"Who are you?" Ming Yue asked.
Mo Luo opened his eyes and glanced at her. That single look sent a chill through her entire body.
How terrifying! What kind of gaze was that? It was like a venomous snake’s, cold and utterly devoid of human emotion.
"Pardon the intrusion!"
Ming Yue quickly retreated back into the room. The thought of killing Mo Luo to escape didn’t even cross her mind. If Ye Xiu had him guarding the door, it ant she was no match for him.
「Early the next morning」
Ye Xiu and Ming Yue went out for breakfast. Just as they stepped out, their neighbor’s door opened, and a middle-aged woman, a young mother, and a little boy erged.
Upon seeing the young mother and the little boy, Ye Xiu froze. Weren’t they the pair he had run into on the subway yesterday? What a coincidence.
"Daddy, Daddy!"
The little boy spotted Ye Xiu and ran over gleefully, shouting "Daddy!" as he hugged his leg, giggling foolishly.
Ye Xiu was completely dumbfounded.
Ming Yue stared at him in shock. "You have an illegitimate child here on Qingfeng Road?"
"Shut up!" Ye Xiu snapped.
Ming Yue’s expression turned mischievous, her look clearly saying, ’Don’t worry, I’ll make sure the whole world knows.’
"So you’re that scumbag," the middle-aged woman said after a brief pause. She ran over furiously and threw a punch at Ye Xiu’s face.
"Hey, hey, hey! What scumbag? I don’t know what you’re talking about," Ye Xiu said, dodging quickly, completely bewildered.
"Xiao Bao is calling you ’Daddy’! What’s the point in denying it? I’ll beat you to death, you Chen Shii!" the middle-aged woman shrieked, lashing out with a wild flurry of punches and her Nine Yin White Bone Claw.
Now Ye Xiu understood. The young woman had a child out of wedlock and didn’t even know who the biological father was. Xiao Bao’s cry of "Daddy" had made the middle-aged woman mistakenly believe Ye Xiu was the one who had gotten her daughter pregnant.
Damn it! What did I do to deserve this?
"Ma’am, please calm down! I’m really not Xiao Bao’s dad, you’ve misunderstood," Ye Xiu explained rapidly while dodging the woman’s chaotic attacks.
"Nonsense! Xiao Bao has never randomly called anyone ’Daddy’ before. He ran right over to you so happily! And you still deny it? You Chen Shii! If I don’t beat you to death today, then my na isn’t Xu Fengi!"
The middle-aged woman, Xu Fengi, was now utterly convinced that Ye Xiu was the Chen Shii who had knocked up her daughter, and she refused to listen to any explanation.
Ye Xiu understood Xu Fengi’s feelings. Any parent would be distressed to learn their daughter had a child out of wedlock without even knowing who the father was. It was an overwhelming situation for anyone.
"Stop standing there and help explain!" Ye Xiu yelled to the young mother, pleading for help.
"Oh, oh!" The young woman finally reacted. She ran over with a blushing face and grabbed Xu Fengi. "Mom, don’t be so impulsive! He’s not Xiao Bao’s dad. You’ve misunderstood."
"Misunderstood?" Xu Fengi stopped her attack, panting heavily but still furious. "Xiao Bao called him ’Daddy,’ and you’re telling I misunderstood? Fine! If he’s not Xiao Bao’s father, then who is? Where is he?"
"Mom, please calm down!"
"Bao Niannian, what else do you have to say?" Xu Fengi said, acting as if she had all the evidence she needed. "You refused to live in the family villa and insisted on moving here alone. It turns out the ho of this Chen Shii is right next door!"
Ye Xiu’s face darkened. Ma’am, you can’t just make baseless accusations. I can’t afford a reputation like Chen Shii’s.
"Mom, you’ve really misunderstood," Bao Niannian said, so embarrassed she was on the verge of tears. She was at a loss for words and didn’t know how to explain. She could only shoot Ye Xiu a pleading look for help.
"Don’t look at . I’m at my wit’s end here, too," Ye Xiu said quickly. He had never encountered a situation like this before and had no idea how to handle it.
However, his words took on a different aning in the older woman’s ears. She pointed a finger at Ye Xiu and started cursing. "You heartless Chen Shii! My daughter had a child for you out of wedlock and was ridiculed by all our friends and relatives, but she never exposed you or said a single bad word about you! She raised your son all by herself, through thick and thin! Now that I’ve caught you, you don’t even have the courage to admit it! I, Xu Fengi, have never in my life seen such a spineless, wretched scumbag!"
