The myth begins with the Lotus Lantern

Chapter 323 Exposing the Covetousness
Inside the hall, Qingyi's eyes were somewhat vacant. Ding Lin had already been driven out by him. She lay back on the couch, staring blankly at the dome. Of course, she did not believe that Ding Lin would keep his promise. He was just making a fuss over nothing.

It's just that we met when we were young, but we had to part ways.

When they met again, they still cared for each other, but he had become a prodigal son.

After a long while, Qingyi sighed softly.

……

Ding Lin felt extremely guilty. He turned to look at the palace gate, knowing he shouldn't have done it, but he also felt a secret joy. He had hurt Qingyi badly, but his philandering had been put to rest. His feelings were complicated.

The more complicated it is, the more guilty I feel.
But he remained unrepentant to the end.

Ding Lin straightened his clothes and tried calling out to Qingyi a few more times, but she ignored him.

After a while, suddenly, the door opened.

Qingyi glanced coldly at Ding Lin before heading towards Princess Wansheng's bedroom.

Ding Lin followed closely behind.

Inside the palace, Princess Wansheng was sitting in front of a mirror, stroking her belly and doing her makeup.

The Dragon King of Ten Thousand Saints stayed by her side. Ever since his daughter became pregnant, he would come to keep her company whenever he had a little free time.

Upon reaching the palace gates, Qingyi's expression remained grim. She didn't speak to Ding Lin, but quietly stepped back, letting him enter first. After the Wan Sheng father and daughter exchanged greetings, Ding Lin's gaze fell upon Princess Wan Sheng's stomach. The latter seemed somewhat nervous, and suddenly her lower abdomen contracted, causing her face to turn pale. Although she had escaped unscathed yesterday, the experience had left her with some lingering concerns. She hadn't gone into labor during the night, but it just so happened to be at this moment.

Ding Lin did not move. He was a vengeful person, and he still held a grudge about what happened back then. However, he never expected that his act of revenge and venting back then would lead to Princess Wansheng becoming pregnant with his child. With this constraint, no matter how much dissatisfaction he had, he could only suppress it for the time being, feeling like he had a fishbone stuck in his throat.

Qingyi didn't move either. Since the West Sea, her help to Princess Wansheng was only because of Ding Lin's child in her womb. In fact, her hatred for Princess Wansheng was even greater than that for Ding Lin.

The Dragon King of Wansheng was right behind Princess Wansheng. He helped his daughter up, then carefully apologized to Ding Lin and Qingyi before helping Princess Wansheng onto the bed.

Princess Wansheng was in great pain, but dared not speak. She just looked at Ding Lin pitifully.

Ding Lin glanced at her a few times, raised his hand, and casually took off the precious pearl. He injected a stream of magic power into it, and within a few breaths, he had replenished Princess Wansheng's vital energy.

In fact, with Ding Lin's current cultivation level, even without the help of the treasure pearl, he could solve the problem with just his magic power based on that life force law. However, that law was cultivated from the "Spirit Treasure Technique," and he was unwilling to use it, fearing it might leave hidden dangers for the child.

"Thank you, Your Excellency." Princess Wansheng caught her breath and quickly got up. The Dragon King Wansheng helped her up and they greeted Ding Lin.

Ding Lin didn't speak, but secretly glanced at Qingyi.

"You're pregnant, there's no need for such formalities." After a brief silence, the woman in green used her magic to help Wan Sheng and his daughter up.

Ding Lin and Qingyi came here not because they anticipated that Princess Wansheng would encounter this today. Yesterday, after they decided on the identity Ding Lin would use in Xiniu Hezhou, there was still one problem: although Ding Lin's original identity in Xiniu Hezhou was hidden, it was not unknown to everyone. Right before their eyes, in this Bibo Pool, Wansheng and her father were the two people who knew about it.

“You all heard the Bull Demon King speak to you yesterday. From today onward, if anyone tries to investigate, you should know how to deal with them,” Ding Lin said, getting straight to the point.

"You called yourself Crimson Scale yesterday, you..." The Dragon King of Ten Thousand Saints quickly agreed, "Little Dragon knows, it's just a matter of various details, Little Dragon and his daughter..."

"It's alright, I came here to tell you this." The woman in green repeated what she had told Ding Lin yesterday to Wan Sheng and his daughter.

"I was born in Lei Ze, the uncle of the Yellow River Water Lord. I, the little dragon, understand this and would never dare to reveal your background, sir," the Myriad Saints Dragon King declared confidently. "I believe you won't speak carelessly, but that doesn't mean others won't investigate. Your cultivation is ultimately too weak; you'll easily fall into their traps. Come here," Ding Lin said.

Wan Sheng and her father exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with trepidation, yet they still followed closely to Ding Lin.

Suddenly, fiery red halos surged from Ding Lin's palms, with laws faintly appearing. He sent two halos into the heads of Wan Sheng and his daughter, one on each side, to conceal their memories.

"My lord." The Dragon King of Ten Thousand Saints looked horrified.

"It's alright. I only used magic to conceal your memories so that others couldn't investigate. I didn't do anything," Ding Lin said. He had learned this method from Qingyi yesterday. Although he was now powerful and had no shortage of killing methods, he lacked practical minor techniques.

With the two loopholes of Wan Sheng and his daughter plugged, Chi Lin's new identity can now be used in Xiniu Hezhou.

After finishing her business, Qingyi didn't want to stay there any longer, so she turned around and left the main hall.

Ding Lin also wanted to go out, but Princess Wansheng stopped him.

"Please wait, my lord," Princess Wansheng said.

The Dragon King of Ten Thousand Saints looked at his daughter with some confusion.

"May I ask if you would mind moving a step, my lord? I have something I would like to say to you." Princess Wansheng seemed hesitant, but after weighing the pros and cons, she still gritted her teeth and said this.

“It’s about Sister Fu Hai,” she quickly added.

“Say it right here.”

Ding Lin said, glancing at the Dragon King of Ten Thousand Saints. The latter wanted to say something, but was intimidated by Ding Lin's gaze and could only shut his mouth and obediently retreat outside the hall.

Ding Lin waved his hand, setting up a simple formation that surrounded the palace. Although the formation was simple, it became extraordinary with the enhancement of his Taiyi magic power.

"Sir...sir."

Princess Wansheng was somewhat uneasy. This wasn't the first time she had been alone with Ding Lin, but her former plaything was no longer the same. Now, with just a slight thought, he could plunge her into eternal damnation. Their roles had been reversed.

"Go ahead."

Ding Lin said, somewhat impatiently. Although Princess Wansheng now appears delicate and timid, he had seen enough of her vicious nature back then. If Princess Wansheng hadn't mentioned Qingyi, Ding Lin wouldn't have had any interest in saying another word to her.

"My lord, before you returned yesterday, at the banquet, I...I saw the Bull Demon King, and the way he looked at Sister Fuhai seemed...seemed a little off..." Princess Wansheng said.

Ding Lin's eyes suddenly sharpened, and a powerful aura rose from his body.

"Please calm down, my lord. I'm not talking nonsense. I've been so grateful to Sister Fuhai all these years..."

Princess Wansheng continued speaking, but Ding Lin couldn't hear a single word clearly; only that one sentence remained in his mind.

"Bull Demon King, the way he looks at Sister Fuhai seems... seems a little off..."
