Chapter 13-16 (1/2)

Chapter 13 – An Old Fox Harbouring Evil Intentions

Perhaps feeling that awkward atmosphere, Lei Xu immediately laughed, ”Min'er, why is it that you are unable to speak after seeing your Little Sister Fengyan? Really… Fengyan, don't mind him. Min'er had always had an introverted nature. Day after day, he thought of you, even after having left the Imperial Capital for so many years. Knowing that you would be coming to Ji City, he was quite happy for a time and is now feeling nervous.”

Ji Fengyan only smiled and didn't say anything

She wasn't blind.

Lei Min's lips s.h.i.+fted, wanting to say something. However, under Lei Xu's stare, he only barely and slightly nodded his head.

”Instead of standing, why don’t we sit and talk?” Lei Xu still had his warm expression. Searching for a stool to sit on, he found as a result, that the stool was covered in dust. With a slight repulsion flas.h.i.+ng in his eyes, he turned towards the two guards standing blankly at the entrance, yelling for them to sweep the stool clean.

The two guards felt really conflicted about Lei Xu. However, thinking that he was their young lady's future elder, they could only swallow their anger. Stepping forward docilely, they extended their sleeves, preparing to wipe it off. The result…

”My legs are already numb after sitting for the entire trip, so let stand while talking.” Ji Fengyan laughed brightly.

Lei Xu didn't think that she would say something like that. As the host, Ji Fengyan hadn't sat, which meant that it would be really improper for them to sit. They could only dryly laugh before letting those guards leave, standing in their original locations with a face full of smiles.

”Fengyan, this journey has been difficult for you. Today, I brought Min'er over for two reasons. The first is to receive you, while the second is to discuss the marriage between you and Min'er.”

Ji Fengyan raised her eyebrows. At this moment, she finally understood what these people came for.

Oh? Was this supposed to be the rising action stage? A love-hate relations.h.i.+p where her father died, so now the relative-in-law is hurrying over to break off the engagement?

She felt a little excited. Ji Fengyan was only too eager to make this disgusting father and son pair screw off out of her sight.

However…

”This year, Min'er isn't that young anymore. Fengyan, although you haven't reached the age of maturity, but you are still aware; life exterminators who inherit the Life Annihilation Armour will have to enter the army after they are sixteen years old. So, I plan to let you and Min'er quickly get married within this month. We'll take advantage of the fact that you haven't reached the age where you have to enter the battlefield and let you live a peaceful life. After all, in the following days, you'll have to fight the demons on the battlefield. At that time, you'll constantly be on the move and have little time to return. However, right now you're already Ji City's City Lord. If you enter the battlefield, and Ji City is missing your control, it'll become quite chaotic. Since that's the case, you and Min'er already have an engagement, just quickly complete the marriage and later on when you enter the battlefield, Min'er will also be able to help you take care of the things in Ji City.”

Lei Xu spoke cheerfully, swiftly revealing his main objective. Each word was prettier than the last, as if he was considering everything for Ji Fengyan's sake.

However, when these words entered Ji Fengyan's ears, it made her itch to immediately give this old fox a hit with her Five Lightning's Bombardment Talisman.

This fellow didn't come here to break off the engagement!

Instead, he came here to s.n.a.t.c.h the position of city lord!

According to the rules, a life exterminator will have to begin taking on their responsibilities after sixteen years old. They had to don the Life Annihilation Armour and enter the army to kill their common enemy, opposing the demons.

Even though Ji Fengyan was Ji City's City Lord right now, but after she turned sixteen, she had to leave the city. While she would have the t.i.tle of City Lord, she still had to enter the battlefield. In this period of time, the authority to manage Ji City would remain vacant. The reason Lei Xu came today was for the authority to manage Ji City later on!

Chapter 14 – Two Women Sharing One Husband

Once Ji Fengyan and Lei Min were married, in the following days when she had to leave Ji city to fight the enemy, he would easily have a reason to ”subst.i.tute” for her and control Ji city.

Their idea is really… shameless enough.

Ji Fengyan was almost completely sickened by Lei Xu's hypocritical face.

”I understand Uncle Lei's good intentions. Still, Uncle Lei should also know that once a life exterminator turned sixteen and entered the army, they would suffer many injuries if not outright dying. Few have a good ending. I just thought that… it would still be better not to burden Lei Min.” Ruefully, Ji Fengyan couldn't bring herself to say those three disgusting words.

Want to take advantage of her?

They still had to see if she was willing!

Unfortunately, Lei Xu practically couldn't hear the refusal in Ji Fengyan's tone. With how infatuated she was with Lei Min, he truly thought that she was saying such things so she didn't burden Lei Min. Immediately, the smile on his face became even deeper. Even more certain of Ji Fengyan's ”deep love” for Lei Min, he took a step back and pointed at that beauty with furrowed brows standing next to Lei Min.

”Don't worry about this little bit, Fengyan. You and Min'er liked each other since childhood. How would this small problem stop you two?”

Lei Xu laughed, ”It's true that in the following days you'll have to enter the battlefield, with very few opportunities to see Min'er and unlikely to have a child anytime soon, but your Uncle Lei has already found a solution for you. This lady here, Su Lingsheng, is a branch member of the Su Clan. She will also marry Min'er along with you. At that time, you can relax as you perform the duties of a life exterminator. Min'er will have Lingsheng at his side, therefore there is need to worry at all. Later on, the child you have can also be raised by Lingsheng, saving you from having any future worries about both father and child while on the battlefield.”

Every word that Lei Xu spoke was clearly enunciated and all carried a smile within. If someone didn't know anything, that appearance of genuine concern would look as if has sacrificed much for Ji Fengyan.

What this persistent old man said almost angered her into laughing.

Ji Fengyan was just thinking about why that girl entered the room with such an expression of great bitterness and deep grudges.

Is this Lei Xu stupid? Or did he think she was stupid?

Seeing Ji Fengyan just happily smiling without saying anything, Lei Xu secretly glanced at Lei Min off to the side. With a bit of unwillingness, Lei Min knitted his brows and abruptly spoke: ”Lingsheng's disposition is very good. She understands how to take care of people, so in the future, you don't need to worry about what happens in the family.”

Ji Fengyan just laughed.

Whatever. This entire family truly thought that the original owner was a cheap idiot. As a life exterminator, the original owner would have to live days of where her blade licked the blood of enemies outside. Meanwhile, this Lei Xu essentially planned for his son to live an honourable and luxurious life in Ji City with a beauty in tow. All of that would be exchanged for Ji Fengyan laying down her life and spilling blood.

If that punching bag of an original owner was still residing in this body, it wasn't impossible that she would have truly agreed to it with grat.i.tude and thanks.

Unfortunately…

This body has already changed owners!
