Having regained their senses, Ji Yang and Liu Quan upon hearing the words seed as if they had instantly plunged into Hell, their faces turning deathly pale. Liu Quan was even more affected; terrified, he rolled his eyes and actually fainted.
"Young Master Ling…please spare my life, I won't dare do it again!" Ji Yang pleaded, his speech unclear because of fear.
Shangguan Yue silently watched the scene unfold, saying nothing, her expression complex. If only she could have such a man to protect her, how happy that would be. She wouldn't need to struggle painstakingly in the entertainnt industry, always needing to be cautious.
"Cut off your own arm and get lost imdiately, one more ti and you're dead!" Ling Fan said impatiently.
"Damn it, are you deaf? Young Master Ling is sparing your life, aren't you going to thank him quickly!" Yuan Shang bellowed at Ji Yang.
Ji Yang ca to his senses, and without the slightest hesitation, knelt and kowtowed, then with a 'snap,' he broke his own arm. The pain turned his face ghostly white, yet he dared not utter a sound.
"Young Master Ling, let handle that brat for you, don't dirty your hands!" Yuan Shang pointed at the unconscious Liu Quan on the ground.
He imdiately stood up, walked over to Liu Quan, and fiercely stomped down, 'snap'—breaking one of his arms.
"Ah!"
The previously unconscious Liu Quan let out a scream like that of a slaughtered pig, the intense pain shockingly waking him up.
"Shut up, cry out again and your life is forfeit!" Yuan Shang coldly snorted.
Liu Quan trembled all over, his face as pale as paper, but he truly dared not even whimper again.
"Everyone, get out of my sight!" Ling Fan waved his hand impatiently.
"Yes, yes, Young Master Ling, we're leaving right now!" Yuan Shang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, feeling sowhat faint.
"Aren't you hurrying up? Do you want to die!" Yuan Shang shouted at the two on the ground.
In the blink of an eye, the three n scurried away, disappearing from the hall.
Looking around, Ling Fan remarked, "These coffees are undrinkable now." Surrounded by people staring wide-eyed, were they watching a monkey show?
"Let's go, I'll treat you next ti!" Ling Fan said with a wry smile.
Shangguan Yue obediently nodded and went to settle the bill, causing the manager, who adamantly refused to accept paynt, to insist on waiving the bill.
Ling Fan pulled out several Red Notes and tossed them on the bar, then left with Shangguan Yue.
Outside the restaurant.
"Thank you for today!" Shangguan Yue said, adjusting her small bag and looking down at the tips of her shoes.
"It was nothing, no need to be so formal. If there's nothing else, I'll head back now to get ready. I'll et you at the airport tomorrow," Ling Fan asked.
"Yes, I'll go pack up as well!" Shangguan Yue nodded.
The two greeted each other, then parted ways, each returning to their own hos.
Back at Yun Fei's Villa.
"Back so early? I thought you'd sneak around a bit more before coming back!" Yun Fei teased.
Now, she was not at all reserved in front of Ling Fan; on the contrary, her boldness was growing, sothing Li ngying would not dare to do.
"Heh heh, look at you, losing all sense of propriety. See how I punish you tonight!" Ling Fan said with a mischievous grin.
Li ngying covered her mouth and giggled on the side, probably anticipating Yun Fei's impending doom that night.
"Enough fun, I've got sothing serious to talk about. Any news from He Feichen, when is he arriving?" Ling Fan stopped his jesting and spoke seriously.
Seeing his serious deanor, Yun Fei also beca solemn. "He said he would be here tomorrow morning, don't worry!"
"Hmm," Ling Fan nodded.
"There's sothing I need to tell you. I'm going to Danyang tomorrow!"
Right then, Ling Fan recounted the entire situation with Shangguan Yue to the two won.
"So that's the situation!" Yun Fei and Li ngying nodded in realization.
"Yes, and since Danyang and Central Sea aren't too far apart, once Shangguan Yue's matter is settled, she will co straight to Tian Yun, and we might as well bring her mother to Binzhou too. I'm worried Huayi might retaliate against her family. In Binzhou, at least we have the covert protection of the Martial Association!"
Additionally, I'm not very confident about Chu Bing, and planning to fly directly to Central Sea to bring them back!" Ling Fan shared his thoughts with the won.
Now, the only place he sowhat trusted was the Binzhou area, under his own consolidation. While not exactly impregnable, it was close. Tian Yun had already beco the uncrowned king of this small domain.
"Mhm, I really don't trust that Chu Bing situation. I'm just worried that Hua Yi might retaliate against her and target you. Just go handle your business without worrying about us!" Yun Fei nodded.
"Just be careful yourself, and don't forget you have us at ho!" Li ngying advised from the side.
Ling Fan sighed as he looked at the two stunning won, thinking, yes, he absolutely must avoid trouble, or these few ladies might suffer as well!
"Don't worry, my lovely wives. With such favor from heaven, how could I bear to let anything happen!" Ling Fan joked.
The group chatted about everyday things, and soon dusk fell. Checking the ti, Yun Fei and Li ngying glanced at each other and simultaneously headed back to their own rooms.
Ling Fan scratched his head and blinked, muttering to himself, "What's this supposed to an?"
He imdiately went towards Yun Fei's room door.
"Get lost, go find Xiao Ying. I didn't sleep well last night, and I want to get so good sleep tonight!" a lazy voice ca from the room.
"Uh..." Ling Fan awkwardly stepped back, then headed toward Li ngying's room.
"ng Ying, it's , open up!" Ling Fan said, a bit desperately.
"Well, you should go to Sister Yun's room!" Li ngying's voice ca from the bedroom.
Ling Fan felt a bit frantic. Was nobody taking him in?
Li ngying's thoughts were simple. She felt fortunate enough to be one of Ling Fan's won, thanks to Yun Fei. How could she vie with Yun Fei for this mont of spring? That would be too thoughtless!
Ling Fan, a bit frustrated, was standing outside when he just saw the An sisters coming out of Yao Yue's room. The sisters paused when they saw Ling Fan, then gave a sly grin and giggled as they ran back to their rooms.
Ling Fan's eyes flicked and he headed straight to Yao Yue's room.
Yao Yue had just finished instructing the two sisters and led them out. Seeing Ling Fan enter, she asked curiously, "What's up?"
"Nothing, just checking how your wound is doing!" Ling Fan replied.
"Oh, didn't you say there was no need for more dication?" Enjoy exclusive chapters from My Virtual Library Empire
"I just couldn't help but worry!" Ling Fan admitted with a wry smile.
He began unwrapping her bandage and checking the wound's healing.
"It's healing quite well. Let change it one more ti. We'll remove it in three days, and then just let it scab and fall off naturally. It should be mostly healed in half a month!" Ling Fan instructed as he applied new dication.
He also briefed Yao Yue about his temporary departure tomorrow.
Yao Yue, hearing he was leaving again, instantly tensed up, but then reassured herself thinking that this guy had several won here, with a strong base at ho, so there was no worry about him getting lost.
At that mont, Yun Fei, in a nightgown, was sitting in Li ngying's room.
"Let the guy co up to your room later!" Yun Fei instructed.
"No need, let him go to your place instead. I'm already content with just this one ti!" Li ngying whispered softly.
"Are you silly, girl? This guy is leaving tomorrow, and who knows when he'll be back!
With Chu Bing, the 'Empress', not around, once the legal wife is back, you won't get this chance again!" Yun Fei shook her head and bitterly smiled, knowing they could only take slim chances unlike the wife.
"Besides, this guy is as tough as an ox, not soone one person can handle alone. He wore out seven tis last night, and I really want to rest today, I'm still so tired. Consider it relieving your sister of so burden!" Yun Fei spoke again.
Li ngying's eyes widened, "Seven...seven tis..."
"Nevermind, I'm going to rest now. If he knocks, just open the door. He's very tender-hearted; he definitely won't have the heart to knock on my door again!" Saying this, Yun Fei stretched lazily and left the room, leaving Li ngying's heart pounding rapidly.
"Alright, you rest early!" Ling Fan said as he finished dressing Yao Yue's wound.
"Thanks, do you want to sleep here tonight?" Yao Yue smiled at Ling Fan.
Ling Fan was tempted, knowing that Yao Yue was far more skilled, but Official Ling couldn't bear to put an injured person through that.
"Hehe, I'll take a rain check, once you're healed!" Ling Fan chuckled and then left the room.
Ling Fan stood in the living room, pondering back and forth, and decided to go to Li ngying's room. Yun Fei really hadn't rested well yesterday, and he couldn't bear to trouble her further.
Just as he reached Li ngying's door, she heard his footsteps, her voice tinged with nervousness, "Ling Fan?"
"Uh...it's ..."
"Co in, the door's unlocked..." Li ngying said timidly.
