Chapter 143: Marrying You Doesn’t Seem So Bad
Zhao Yazhi sneered, “You know nothing!”
As she spoke, she darted from side to side like a red bolt of lightning, charging at Wen Qinlin and roaring, “Die!”
Wen Qinlin remained calm, shaking her head and saying, “Stubborn fool!”
Not holding back any longer, she used her spare like a staff and swept it horizontally, and said coldly , “Do you think screaming louder will make you win?”
Zhao Yazhi was hit by the spare, and the sound of breaking bones and snapping tendons filled the air as she fell to the ground, bleeding profusely.
“Yazi!”
Zhao Yucheng’s heart ached as he shouted and rushed towards the fallen Zhao Yazhi.
Lin Fengmian reached out to stop him but missed, cursing under his breath as he ran after him.
On the ground, the barely conscious Zhao Yazhi somehow mustered the strength to turn into a red blur and lunge forward.
Wen Qinlin’s face changed slightly as she chased after her, shouting, “Be careful!”
Zhao Yucheng hesitated for a moment but still charged at Zhao Yazhi.
Zhao Yazhi lunged at Zhao Yucheng. Seeing him within reach, she wanted to kidnap him and feed on his life force to recover.
But at that moment, Zhao Yucheng suddenly fell, and in front of her was the cold and ruthless Lin Fengmian.
Lin Fengmian kicked Zhao Yucheng to the side and roared as he thrust his sword at Zhao Yazhi’s abdomen, aiming to bind her inner core.
The sword sliced through Zhao Yazhi, blood dripping to the ground.
The two faced each other, one with a distorted face, the other cold and merciless, the scene frozen in time.
Zhao Yazhi’s face twisted in pain and something strange, then she leaned close to Lin Fengmian and smiled sinisterly.
“You think you’ve won?”
She suddenly lunged forward, still impaled on the sword, and bit into Lin Fengmian, causing him to grunt in pain.
Lin Fengmian hadn’t expected that despite the sword piercing her Qi Sea, Zhao Yazhi could still use her demon power, which shocked him.
He steeled himself, grabbed Zhao Yazhi, and activated the Demon Emperor Technique, continuously drawing power from her.
Just because you know how to suck, doesn’t mean I don’t, right?
Zhao Yazhi hadn’t expected this either, and her demonic aura began to flow into Lin Fengmian.
The two of them were locked in a stalemate, visibly weakening.
Lin Fengmian was losing his life force, while Zhao Yazhi was losing her demonic power.
But the stalemate was soon broken as a long blade pierced through Zhao Yazhi’s heart, twisting and shattering it completely.
Zhao Yazhi let out a anguished scream and struck Lin Fengmian away with the palm of her hand, then turned to look at Zhao Yucheng, who was crying.
Overwhelmed with grief, Zhao Yucheng said, “Yazi, don’t make the same mistake again.”
Zhao Yazhi raised her hand and gathered demonic power, but in the end, she didn’t strike. Instead, she collapsed weakly.
Zhao Yucheng knelt down trembling and said, “Yazi, don’t be afraid, the pain will be over soon.”
On the ground, Zhao Yazhi’s demonic transformation quickly faded away, her fur disappearing as she returned to her original form.
Blood spurted from her mouth, but she still managed to curse, “Shut up, is it useful to pretend to be a loving father now?”
“When you forced me to marry, did you think of my feelings? When you forced me to study and train, did you consider my feelings?”
With tears streaming down his face, Zhao Yucheng said, “Yazi, it’s all Father’s fault. I ignored your feelings…”
Tears dripped down Zhao Yazhi’s face, but she didn’t acknowledge him. Instead, she turned her head and smiled at Lin Fengmian.
“Lin Fengmian, it seems like we should have been on the same path all along, hahaha… Take this!”
Her hand suddenly plunged into her own abdomen, pulled out a golden core soaked in blood, and threw it at Lin Fengmian.
“I admit that I regret it. Marrying you… might not have been so bad…”
Lin Fengmian picked up the core, which emitted both golden and blood-red light, and sighed deeply. “We were not meant to be in this life. Let’s leave it to the next one.”
Zhao Yazhi nodded and smiled. “Alright!”
Her eyes gradually lost their shine, and she finally closed them, powerless.
This former enemy seemed to have found her inner peace in her final moments.
Looking at Zhao Yazhi’s lifeless body, Zhao Yucheng let out a mournful cry to the sky, tears streaming down his face.
Lin Fengmian’s heart was heavy. At this moment, a round of applause echoed through the air, sounding particularly grating in the somber atmosphere.
The seductive female fox demon had somehow entered the city lord’s residence and was now smiling at Lin Fengmian as she extended a white, delicate hand.
“Truly impressive. You’ve had your fun. It’s time to return the young master and the Core to me, right?”
Lin Fengmian took the little fox from Xia Yunxi and placed the core in front of it.
The little fox’s eyes gleamed as it reached out with its paws, but its short legs and small size made it impossible to reach.
The fox demon’s face darkened. “What are you doing?”
“Didn’t you want the core and your young master? I’ll feed it the core and return it to you unharmed,” Lin Fengmian said with a smile.
The fox demon’s expression turned cold, and she sternly said, “Don’t interfere in things that don’t concern you. Just give me the core and the young master!”
“Otherwise, I will slaughter all the people of Ning City. Do you believe me?”
Lin Fengmian nodded. “Of course I do. Someone who can harm their own young master is capable of anything.”
He picked up the little fox and smiled. “This little guy was badly injured, which is why the Huang Long was able to take advantage, right?”
He suspected her because she had launched the attack on the city without hesitation, even though the little fox was in his hands.
She did not seem to care about the fate of the little fox, only about the demon cultivator and the Core.
When the fox demon saw her plan exposed, she no longer hid her intentions. She nodded. “You are indeed clever. Yes, I was.”
That day, both she and the little fox had been badly injured. She had been near death and had fled in defeat.
She had been hiding and recovering for some time, and had only started searching for the little fox two weeks ago.
Who would have thought that her enemy would be so unlucky and even lose its core to someone else?
She raised her hand and said coldly, “Lin Fengmian, if you know what’s good for you, you will hand over the Demon Core and the Little Fox to me.”
Lin Fengmian smiled slightly. “Even though this little guy is good for nothing but being cute and affectionate, I’m afraid I can’t give it to you.”
He put the core away, not daring to feed it to the little fox.
He didn’t know if this creature was friend or foe. If it regained its strength and turned against him, it would be a serious problem.
The little fox, both angry and frustrated, kept reaching out with its paws to grab him, looking cute but fierce.
Lin Fengmian handed it back to Xia Yunxi. “Yunxi, keep an eye on it.”
Xia Yunxi nodded and gently held the restless little fox. “Be good, don’t be in such a hurry.”
“Lin Fengmian, since you are courting death, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”
The fox demon snorted coldly before letting out a long howl, commanding the surrounding beasts to continue their attack.
Lin Fengmian calmly said, “Now it’s our turn to be ruthless!”
Wen Qinlin took out the array disk and activated it again. The square in front of the City Lord’s residence was once again illuminated by a bright light.
However, this time, the array barrier seemed to encounter resistance. It rose halfway and then stopped, as if it was held back by an insurmountable force.
