Minglong

Chapter 136 Auntie, am I some kind of good-for-nothing?
My mind was in a daze, and I don't know how long I had been asleep.

A cacophony of voices drifted from my side; I couldn't make out what they were saying, but it made me feel uneasy from the bottom of my heart...

Lin Wanyi was unsure whether she was dreaming or awake. After being shaken twice, her consciousness returned to her mind.

I groggily opened my heavy eyelids, and as the light gradually cleared, the finely crafted canopy of the bed came into view.

Then, a fair and aloof face appeared above, with sharp eyes, like a domineering figure looking down from above, making people instinctively back away...

? !
Miss Linghu?

Why does she look so fierce...?

Oh no, everything's been exposed...

Lin Wanyi thought that the secrets of the witch cult had been exposed, and she instantly came to her senses. Her eyes were filled with fear as she looked around to see if she was in a prison.

Fortunately, everything in the room was normal. There was a plaque with the words "Upright Gentleman" not far away, which should be Xie Jinhuan's room. The man was also sitting in front of it...

wrong!

Lin Wanyi glanced at him briefly and noticed that Xie Jinhuan, sitting in front of her, had eyes as wide as coal, and his expression was one of fear, helplessness, and hesitation...

What do you mean?
Am I talking in my sleep...?

Lin Wanyi was completely bewildered. She wanted to get up but didn't dare. Her eyes darted back and forth, trying to figure out what was going on.

Linghu Qingmo leaned forward to look around and found that Lin Wanyi was awake. He asked first:
"Wanyi, are you feeling alright?"

Lin Wanyi felt that this form of address had the air of an older sister caring for her younger sister, so she carefully sat up:
"Uh... thank goodness, how long did I sleep?"

"That is, a little over two hours."

Linghu Qingmo helped Lin Wanyi sit up against the headboard and asked her earnestly:

"Wanyi, you like Xie Jinhuan too, right?"

?

Lin Wanyi looked surprised, and after a moment of stunned silence, she appeared slightly flustered:
"Miss Linghu, you must be joking..."

"Does that mean you don't like it?"

"Uh……"

Lin Wanyi felt that Linghu Qingmo was pushing her too hard, giving her no room to hesitate. She looked at the man after thinking for a moment:
"Xie Jinhuan, did you give her medicine?"

Xie Jinhuan had long noticed that Mo Mo was being a bit too brave, and shrugged slightly:
"That 'Overbearing Aura Pill' of yours, it really is overbearingly powerful..."

Lin Wanyi suddenly realized what was happening, and quickly took out the antidote from her bosom, handing it to Linghu Qingmo:

"Miss Linghu, you've taken the wrong medicine..."

Linghu Qingmo took the pills, but didn't eat them. Instead, he said earnestly:
"This pill does have a qi-tonifying effect, but it's irrelevant to what we're discussing now. My mind is perfectly clear, and what I'm saying now is from the bottom of my heart. Even if I take the antidote and change my mind, what I'm saying now will prevail!"

As she spoke, she turned to look at Xie Jinhuan:
"Including what I said to you!"

"Uh……"

Lin Wanyi felt that if Linghu Qingmo were sober, he would probably die on the spot and never dare to show his face again.
"You're not thinking straight right now, take the antidote immediately..."

"I'll finish what I have to say before I eat."

Linghu Qingmo sat down in front of him and said methodically:

"I'm not trying to compete with you for someone's affections; let's stick to the facts. Just tell me now, do you have feelings for Xie Jinhuan?"

"..."

Lin Wanyi wasn't the type to exude domineering personality, so she couldn't handle this kind of pressure. But if she dared to say no, the man would probably be someone else's, so she could only bite the bullet and respond:

"I love it, I love it! Hurry up and take the antidote..."

Linghu Qingmo, not receiving a response that met his expectations, was unlikely to comply and looked earnestly at Lin Daiyu:
"Since you both like him, let me be clear. As the saying goes, 'A country has its laws, and a family has its rules.' From now on, Xie Jinhuan will be busy with official business. You can't keep taking him to your house to sleep whenever you have nothing to do. That will interfere with his work of slaying demons and monsters."

"Secondly, you keep making mistakes while taking care of him. I can't stop him from coming to you when he's free, but in the future, if anything serious happens, I must be there to look after him..."

???

Lin Wanyi understood the meaning after hearing just a few words—this was the eldest son's wife teaching the younger daughters the rules!
You're going to fly to the heavens!

Although Lin Wanyi was a little hesitant, she was also indignant at being confronted so directly, and immediately sat up a few degrees straighter:
"Miss Linghu, even if you've taken the wrong medicine, watch your words. We're not related, so why should you set rules for me? If anyone should set rules, it should be Xie Jinhuan!"

Linghu Qingmo blinked, finding the idea reasonable, and then turned to look at Xie Jinhuan:
"Then set some rules for her."

"..."

Xie Jinhuan dared not take sides, and after thinking for a moment, said:
"I was in a fight just now and I'm exhausted. I want to rest for a while. How about we talk about this tomorrow?"

Linghu Qingmo nodded slightly, then pulled Lin Wanyi up by the arm.
“That’s fine. I’ll take Miss Lin to the next room to rest, and I’ll take care of you later.”

?

Lin Wanyi was being chased out; how could she bear it? She sat on the bed, refusing to budge.
"I'm a doctor, what kind of behavior would I have going out like this? I'll take care of him, you go and rest!"

Seeing that Doctor Lin was lingering and wouldn't leave, Linghu Qingmo sat back down:
"Don't you know what kind of person he is? He'll run off to slay demons and monsters whenever he gets the chance! I didn't even say anything to you at the academy last time, and now you're here again. What if he runs off again later?"

Faced with this lecturing tone, Lin Wanyi's eyes twitched, and she forced herself to say:
"Last time he insisted on running away..."

"He insisted on running away, so you just let him? If I had been there, would he have been able to run?"

“I didn’t want him to run away either, but… he fell asleep…”

"You still know you're asleep?"

Linghu Qingmo wanted to raise his hand and poke Lin Wanyi's forehead, but out of politeness, he refrained from doing so.

"What if you fall asleep while I'm looking after you?"

"..."

Lin Wanyi was speechless for a moment, glancing at Xie Jinhuan out of the corner of her eye, her meaning probably being—it's all your fault, why don't you say something? Are you just watching me get bullied?

Xie Jinhuan quickly interjected, "I was wrong last time, this time I'll just lie here and rest..."

"You're capable of anything to vanquish demons, I won't fall for it again."

After scolding the man, Linghu Qingmo looked at Lin Wanyi again:

"You go and rest first. I'll watch over him. After he's rested, you can stay with him."

Lin Wanyi's past "sleeping history" was still vivid in her mind. Even though she was full of resentment, she couldn't argue with the frank and open Linghu Qingmo. But if she obeyed and went out, her life would probably be like this forever...

Lin Wanyi took a few deep breaths and subtly retaliated:

"Can we take care of him together? You're not a doctor, how are you going to treat his injuries? Look at this bandage, it looks like a dog chewed on it..."

?

A sharp glint appeared in Linghu Qingmo's eyes. He nodded slightly and brought over the medicine and bandages.
"Okay, come on."

"Hmph..." Lin Wanyi gave a soft hum, almost inaudible, as she leaned against Xie Jinhuan and tended to his injuries.

Xie Jinhuan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the two hadn't started fighting, and gave a silly smile.

Seeing this, Lin Wanyi couldn't help but look up at Xie Jinhuan with a slightly fierce look in her eyes, as if to say, "I'm being treated like a decorative vase by her! And you still have the mind to laugh?"

Snapped--

After glaring at the man, Linghu Qingmo, who was overseeing the battle, raised his hand and slapped the big buttocks, his eyes darkening slightly:

Why are you glaring at him? Did he upset you?

Lin Wanyi felt a burning sensation on her buttocks, and her whole body trembled. She looked at the woman in white by the bed in disbelief, her face turning green!

You dare hit me?!
What's it to you if I glare at my man?
Zisu was practically pointing her finger at me and scolding me, and you pointed your finger at me and scolded me too. Do you think I'm some kind of timid girl who won't talk back or fight back?
Lin Wanyi was so angry she was about to burst, and she rolled up her sleeves, ready to fight, but Xie Jinhuan stopped her, and she could only say coldly:

"Get out! I need to treat his injuries first, and I still have to take care of him later. Are you standing here to watch a live sex show?"

Linghu Qingmo was taken aback, then frowned and said:
"He's still a virgin, what are you going to do to him? Just sleep with him? What if you make him feel restless?"

"Huh?" Xie Jinhuan was taken aback.

Lin Wanyi was also baffled, but in her anger, she was determined to go all out and gave her man a quick kiss on the cheek.

“I went all the way to save him, and he carried me back. I felt so sorry for him, and I wanted to give myself to him. Is that any of your business?”

Linghu Qingmo said solemnly:
“He’s a gentleman, and he’s not even married yet, so he definitely won’t agree.”

"Uh..." Xie Jinhuan hesitated, wanting to say something but stopping herself.

"If he doesn't agree, he won't give her the woman?"

Lin Wanyi leaned against Xie Jinhuan, head held high and chest puffed out, speaking with self-righteous indignation:
"Xie Jinhuan is an upright person, how could he possibly ask for it willingly?"
"Let him work hard outside, but you expect the man to take the initiative when you come home. Are you here to be the matriarch?"

"I've treated more women than you've ever seen. You don't understand these things, so don't waste my time!"

Linghu Qingmo felt that Lin Wanyi's words seemed to make sense, but leaving in such a dejected manner was not right, so he asked in return:
"Are you just going to sleep with him?"

Lin Wanyi was no longer shy and nodded:
"Yeah~ Jin Huan, what kind of man sleeps without a woman by his side? Why don't you come and sleep with me too? If you have the guts... then let's sleep together, and I'll teach you how to serve someone, so you don't hurt my Jin Huan because you don't know anything, right Jin Huan~?"

My mom...

Xie Jinhuan was flattered, but dared not speak.

Seeing Lin Wanyi's sarcastic and strange demeanor, Linghu Qingmo really wanted to steel herself and see who would teach whom a lesson. After all, she had read "Yang Chunyan" and "Jinlan Zhuan"...

But she was ultimately a member of the Taoist sect; how could she possibly serve others like that...?

Seeing that the woman with the pretty face couldn't win the argument, he started steer the conversation towards sex. She paused for a moment, then nodded.

"You little hussy, let's see if you have the guts today."

Lin Wanyi's eyebrows furrowed, but after shooing Linghu Qingmo away, she didn't add anything unnecessary, only coldly glancing at him as he left.

(→_→)!
Linghu Qingmo stood up, and upon seeing that look, his expression darkened slightly. After thinking for a moment, he turned back, leaned down, and gave Xie Jinhuan a quick kiss on the lips.

"Make her serve you well. If she doesn't listen to you, you can tell me."

"you!"

Lin Wanyi was stunned!
Once she realized what was happening, she pounced like a raging mother cat, wanting to grab the stinky Taoist nun and give her a good beating:
"You wretched woman..."

Seeing that a fight had really broken out, Xie Jinhuan quickly hugged Wanyi:
"Hey, hey, hey, don't be impulsive..."

"Let me go! She hit me, I can't hit her back, I'll fight her to the death!"

"Don't, don't..."

Seeing the vase-like sister's impotent rage, Linghu Qingmo was satisfied. He then kissed Xie Jinhuan several times on the cheek and pinched his chest muscles, his eyes probably saying, "Wow, your man is so juicy." He then turned and left, bending down halfway to dodge the embroidered shoe that was thrown at him, and put the antidote into his mouth.

Lin Wanyi was so angry she had lost her mind. Xie Jinhuan was holding her waist, and she was still throwing the pillow, along with the Jinlan Biography and Yang Chunyan under it, out of the room.

"You stinking nun, come back here! I'm not done with you today..."

"Don't be angry, don't be angry..."

Xie Jinhuan was terrified. While gently comforting Wanyi, he took back his treasured books and hid them to avoid being beaten up.

But before the two could even begin to struggle, they discovered that the door they had just closed had been pushed open!

wow-

Caught off guard, Lin Wanyi shuddered in fright, her anger subsiding somewhat. She hid behind the man, her eyes narrowing slightly.
"You dare come back?! I..."

He turned around and looked for something to throw out.

Linghu Qingmo stood at the door, his face flushed purple. After his lips moved, he glared angrily at Xie Jinhuan:
"You lecherous scoundrel, what kind of monster did you feed me?"

Seeing that Mo Mo had returned to normal, Xie Jinhuan felt a great weight lifted from his shoulders and quickly stood up.
"I was wrong, I was wrong, I didn't know what kind of medicine it was..."

After Linghu Qingmo stepped out the door, she came to her senses. Thinking about her words and actions just now, she was so shocked that she almost flew away. She felt that her image as a "steadfast ice queen" had completely collapsed!

Although what she said just now was from the bottom of her heart, and she feels the same way now, you can't say what's on your mind to someone's face!

What if I offend people like this and drive Dr. Lin to her death?
"I don't know what kind of medicine this is, and you're giving it to me?!"

Xie Jinhuan forced himself to say:
"It does replenish qi, but there are a few side effects. Taking medicine is just a joke after drinking; don't take it seriously. My bad, my bad..."

You call this a pinch?

Linghu Qingmo wanted nothing more than to pin this brat down and beat him, but then she noticed Lin Wanyi behind her giving her a dirty look, and she was almost in tears with anger. After thinking for a moment, she said:

"Miss Lin, I'm so sorry, I must have taken the wrong medicine and my mind wasn't clear..."

You're more clear-headed than anyone else!

If you were even slightly confused, you wouldn't have made me this angry!
Lin Wanyi was so angry her head was throbbing, but since he had used the excuse of taking the wrong medicine, if she continued pulling his hair, it would seem like she was being unreasonable. Therefore, for the sake of the man, she took a deep breath and put on a gentle and magnanimous demeanor.

"It's alright, I didn't take it to heart."

Linghu Qingmo felt that Lin Wanyi was definitely overthinking things, but what's said is said, and there's no going back. So he just smiled apologetically, stepped on Xie Jinhuan's shoes, and fled in a flash.

Xie Jinhuan secretly gasped, watching Mo Mo flee with her face covered, then sat down on the edge of the bed, looking quite embarrassed.

"Uh... what kind of medicine did you give me? It's way too potent..."

"The medicine made with perilla is simply..."

Lin Wanyi was furious, but Xie Jinhuan was so frightened that she couldn't nag Linghu Qingmo behind his back. After thinking for a moment, she said:

"I don't feel comfortable sleeping here. Why don't you take me back? We can practice together and avoid the awkwardness of people coming and going."

Xie Jinhuan was really afraid that the two would meet again and fight, so he didn't say much. He put down his weapon, got up, and helped Wanyi up.

He had originally wanted to greet Momo, but found that she had run straight into the princess's room and was not in the next room, so he had no choice but to give up...
