Chapter 485: Leaving the City

Translator: DavidT Editor: Rock, DavidT

Seeing Xiao YanXue still filled with doubt, Ling Tian sighed and explained, “Yu ManLou is already planning for the imperial throne after the continent is united. Why must he marry a lady from a big family? This is so that his future child would have sufficient status and foundation to ascend the throne in future including a sufficiently powerful mother clan! Do you understand? The more he chooses a lady from a prestigious family, the more he doesn’t place any hope in the two sons of his! His anxiousness represents the importance which he places in this matter. Furthermore, his action would also mean that Yu ManLou was extremely satisfied and regarded this former prime minister greatly. Why shouldn’t he be happy? If Yu ManLou united the continent in future, his grandson would be the future ruler of the world and his family would be carried to new heights as well! Can all of these benefits not outweigh a single daughter of his?”

Ling Tian then added with a mocking smile, “Besides, a daughter will have to be married out eventually. If you were in his shoes, would you rather your daughter be the empress or even the empress dowager? Or would you rather your daughter marry a poor scholar? As long as Yu ManLou can unite the world, then the imperial throne would not escape from them!”

“In the world today, is there a family which is even stronger than the Yu Family?” Ling Tian scoffed.

“I see... no wonder...” Xiao YanXue suddenly lowered her head with depression. After understanding all of these, she thought about how her family wanted to force her into a marriage and could not help but feel dejected.

Seeing Xiao YanXue’s expression, Ling Tian naturally knew what this lass was thinking about. He could not help but let out a sigh and smile. “Why? Seeing an old cow like Yu ManLou eat fresh grass is making Miss Xiao feel regret? Miss Xiao can’t wait to get married off? Should I go and inform Yu ManLou? After all, the princess of the Xiao Family would definitely have a much higher status than the former prime minister’s daughter! I believe that Yu ManLou would definitely change his mind. After all, he should be willing to listen to my opinions.”

“Ling Tian you... you... why don’t you just go and die!” Xiao YanXue was embarrassed and angered by Ling Tian’s words and did not even have the time to feel any form of self-pity. She quickly grabbed the teacup and flung it towards him.

Ling Tian burst into laughter and avoided it.

“If you snatch Yu ManLou’s bride...” Xiao YanXue suddenly said with a flash of inspiration.

“F**k!” Ling Tian was shocked out of his wits, “Big sister, you should just take those words as a joke. Don’t count on me to be so crazy.”

Xiao YanXue let out a bright smile filled with grace and elegance. Ling Tian felt his head go dizzy as he almost fell into the beauty’s trap.

Three days later, the news of the Yu Family having a wedding had spread all across the world. Just as Ling Tian had expected, that former prime minister, Su JianYan, jumped for joy and sent his daughter over gleefully with his whole residence celebrating secretly. In such chaotic times, their family had managed to cling to the strongest family on the continent!

Just when the bride’s sedan entered the Yu Residence, Ling Tian leisurely rode out of the city with Xiao YanXue.

Nobody knew why Ling Tian only left today or what he had done in the past three days. This secret made Yu ManLou frustrated for a long time after he found out about Ling Tian’s whereabouts. It was only until many years later that Yu ManLou found out just what Ling Tian had planted in these three days. The things that Ling Tian had done and planted in these three days almost wiped out the Yu Family in a single night! At that time, everything was different and everything was too late...

The sun gradually set, and mist began to rise from all directions. However, two horses continued to walk along the road at a steady pace as though they weren’t afraid of not having a place to stay for the night.

“Where are we going? Why are you always giving me a perfunctory reply!” The crisp voice of a young lady could be heard.

“Miss, this is the seventh time you have asked me this question.” A helpless reply could be heard.

“If you do not always reply to me with a ‘haha’ without telling me where we are going, would I be pestering you? Since you don’t want to reply to me, of course I have to continue asking! I will keep asking until I get my answer,” the young lady reprimanded with dissatisfaction.

“Haha...”

“Again!”

“Hahaha...”

“Laugh...just keep laughing... you darn idiot who only knows how to laugh! I heard that you want to go towards the DongFang Family?” Her doubtful voice sounded, “It seems like you have some agreement with DongFang JingLei? According to our current route, we are definitely headed towards the DongFang Family.”

“Err... Miss Xiao is indeed an intelligent lady, and your guess is pretty accurate!” A laugh could be heard, “I heard that the Eastern Zhao crown prince proposed a marriage to the Xiao Family. I am about to send the precious princess of the Xiao Family to get married so that the Eastern Zhao Empire can be my stepping stone to power. Is this plan of mine fantastic?”

“You... annoying! You b*st*rd! You baddie! You’re too bad!” The young lady began whining, and the conversation topic was successfully changed.

“What are you looking at?” Noticing the horse of the young man stopping, Xiao YanXue turned behind to see an odd expression on the young man’s face. His smile didn’t seem like a smile and even seemed a little... vulgar.

“I am thinking...” Ling Tian rubbed his chin and revealed a thoughtful look as a mischievous glow flashed past his eyes, “I am thinking... what do you think Yu ManLou is doing tonight... it really makes my imagination roam!” Ling Tian said with a cheeky smile.

“What is Yu ManLou doing tonight? Why would you think about that... AHH! Ling Tian you baddie! Can’t you be more serious?!” Xiao YanXue’s face turned completely red as though her whole body was on fire.

Ling Tian then looked at Xiao YanXue with a smile which didn’t seem like a smile as his eyes roamed around her body with two devilish chuckles. Looking at her in the eyes, Ling Tian then let out a devilish grin.

What was Yu ManLou doing? What else could Yu ManLou be doing? On their wedding night, other than consummating their marriage, could he be planting cabbages instead? As long as he had the heart and strength, he would definitely be having a good time. Of course, if Yu ManLou had the heart but not the strength... Ling Tian’s smile became even weirder.

At the same time, Xiao YanXue’s body turned soft from Ling Tian’s odd glare and she was both embarrassed and angry in her heart. Of all things to think about, Ling Tian had to think about Yu ManLou consummating his marriage. At the same time, Ling Tian actually looked at her with such an odd expression while thinking about that. If that’s the case, weren’t his thoughts extremely clear?

Understanding Ling Tian’s lecherous thoughts, Xiao YanXue’s face flushed red and her eyes were lit on fire. She immediately waved her horse whip around and charged at Ling Tian viciously.

Ling Tian burst into laughter and sprinted away on his horse. As he escaped from Xiao YanXue, he shouted at the same time, “I forgot about something else. What would an old antique like Yu ManLou know? Even if he has the heart and strength, he may not be able to please his new wife well. If he can go for a few remedial lessons first by watching some p*rn, it should be of great help to him...” Ling Tian lamented with regret, “If that old man realizes that his spear is no longer sharp at the very last minute and is unable to break through the city... hahahaha...” Ling Tian’s malicious thoughts were completely revealed at this moment.

“You, you... gangster! You you you... ruffian!” Although Xiao YanXue didn’t know what p*rn was, she knew that it definitely wasn’t something good. Thus, her face turned even redder as she chased after Ling Tian.

As Ling Tian escaped on his horse, he began to laugh lasciviously. He then suddenly thought to himself, If the ‘pa pa’ sound of him whipping the horse was placed outside the bridal room as a sound effect... it could probably pass off as the real thing, right? Hahaha...

The young man and lady then gradually disappeared into the darkness. As for where they intended to go, it was still unclear at the moment...

Southern Zheng!

Gold Jade City.

In the NanGong Family, the sound of crying could be heard at every corner and white banners were seen everywhere. The news of their Family Head’s death was akin to the sky falling down!

“Endure?! When should we continue enduring until? Big brother is already dead, and you still want me to continue enduring?!” NanGong TianHu paced around the room like a tiger trapped in the cage as he roared with bloodshot eyes, “I can’t endure any longer! I CAN’T!!!” He then waved his fists around with spittle flying in all direction as his loud roar caused the roof to tremble slightly.

“I don’t want to endure either, but we have to endure! Endure what others can’t endure! If we don’t, we will die! The whole family will perish! It doesn’t matter if you or I die, but can second uncle really sacrifice the lives of the thousand people in the NanGong Family?!” A crisp voice came out from the frail lady by the side, and the rims of NanGong Yu’s eyes were red. “Second uncle, this is not the time for you to be rash. Your rashness will only bring us destruction!”

“Hmph, Yu’er, you are truly calm and composed.” NanGong TianHu sneered, “Both your father and brother are dead and the authority of the family is held in your hands. Of course you are able to remain calm and you are probably feeling ecstatic at the moment right?! You are even thanking the culprit who murdered your father right? You don’t even want to take revenge for your biological father?! Good! Good! Good!” NanGong TianHu nodded his head and was filled with grief and indignation, “What a filial daughter indeed! What a filial daughter indeed! It is a pity that up until his death, big brother never noticed how ‘filial’ you truly are!”

“Second uncle! What nonsense are you spouting?” NanGong Yu was angered to the point she stood up trembling, “The enmity of my father’s death will never be reconciled! How will I ever let Ling Tian off? But do we have the strength to take revenge now? Do we have the strength to chase after Ling Tian? Even if we were to bring out all of our NanGong Family’s troops, we will not be a match for Ling Tian! Have you not understood the strength of the Ling Family through the rebellion in Sky Bearing? Do you want our whole family to perish before you give up the idea of revenge?”

“Bullsh*t! What strength does the Ling Family have? I do not know and have not seen it!” NanGong TianHu roared with agitation, “However, we must take revenge for big brother! Even if the whole family is destroyed, we must ensure that the little brat is buried with us!”
