Douluo Continent: From Rusty Spear to Emperor-Slaying Spear

Chapter 60 Look at that vase, its capacity is vast.

"Little sister, look at that vase. The craftsmanship is so exquisite, and it can hold so much dew."

Ji Wuming whistled and walked sideways towards a vase, lightly patting his chest with his left hand. Sure enough, his little sister was too domineering; even just greeting Ye Lingling had angered her like this.

Bing'er, whom I haven't seen in a long time, still has the best temper.

"What did you just say? Say it again?"

Dugu Yan glared fiercely at Ji Wuming, who had walked to the side, and said.

"No? I was saying this bottle is large enough to hold a lot of dew."

"You liar, get out of this room right now!"

Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan was unsure whether Ji Wuming was indirectly insulting her, but she knew she had to have a serious talk with Ye Lingling, as it was really inappropriate for a man to be alone in the room.

Ji Wuming turned back to look at Dugu Yan, who was watching him leave. He steeled himself and thought, "Fine, fine. Your temper is just like your grandfather's, changing in an instant, isn't it? It's alright, your brother will work on you in the future."

How could I let a woman act so arrogantly over my head, especially a prickly one at that? My Bing'er is so much better. I wonder how she is doing now.

As the door slammed shut from the inside, Ji Wuming, who was about to head to the next room to rest, suddenly stopped. He pressed his back against the wall, using his powerful mental energy to listen intently to the sounds coming from inside the room.

"I'm going to listen carefully to see if my little sister will speak ill of me to Lingling, or if she'll talk about anything unspeakable."

Seeing Dugu Yan's smug expression, Ye Lingling immediately moved closer to her and gently twisted her slender waist with her right hand.

"ah--"

Dugu Yan immediately let out a soft cry. Fortunately, Ji Wuming was not in the room at the moment, otherwise, her charming voice would have made her extremely ashamed.

At that moment, Ji Wuming, who had ears on the other side of the wall, heard this sound, and a golden light flashed in his eyes. He paid close attention to the movements inside the room, and a strange smile appeared on his lips.

"Lingling, what are you doing? Does it hurt?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Lingling inside the house didn't take it to heart. Instead, she looked at Dugu Yan with a hint of resentment.

"Well, what a matchmaker you are! You promised to be my matchmaker, but you've beaten me to it and fallen for the big liar you're talking about."

"And judging from your relationship, things are progressing way too fast. Where did the aloof and strong-willed Dugu Yan go? She's actually been captivated by someone who's only slightly good-looking. I'm embarrassed for you."

Dugu Yan found it difficult to speak, but she still appeared to want to defend herself.

"What do you mean? If you saw Brother Ji's abilities with your own eyes, Lingling, you'd know how amazing he is."

"Oh? Brother Ji? You've changed how you address me?"

Ye Lingling looked at Dugu Yan with particular curiosity, then smiled and whispered in her ear, "..."

"Impressive? What's so impressive about it? Could it be—"

Before Ye Lingling could finish speaking, Dugu Yan's face turned bright red, and even her ears felt extremely hot. She immediately pushed Ye Lingling away and said shyly,

"You filthy woman!"

"Yes, that filthy Lingling, instead of cultivating, spends all her time having wild fantasies based on gossip. If she corrupts my little sister, I'll be the one who suffers in the end!"

Ji Wuming was filled with remorse. He struck the wall with heavy blows, and several cracks appeared in the marble-wood-colored wall. This made Ji Wuming panic.

"Won't they notice what I'm doing inside?"

Ji Wuming originally intended to leave immediately, but stopped after hearing the commotion inside.

"Yan, you're overthinking it. I didn't say anything."

Ye Lingling put her hands on her hips, her cheeks puffed out in anger, and said... She said this, and she thought it, but all these wicked thoughts wouldn't affect anyone.

It's Dugu Yan's fault for lacking willpower; she can't blame anyone else.

"but--"

Dugu Yan rubbed her chin, thoughtfully looking around at Dugu Yan, a malicious smile creeping onto her lips.

"Yan, what have you been eating lately? Not only have you suddenly grown taller, but your figure has also become more and more attractive. Come on, take off your clothes, let me check you out."

"That's not a good idea! We're sisters, you know. I'm not that kind of person!"

Dugu Yan looked seriously at Ye Lingling, who was becoming increasingly strange, and directly rejected the matter with sharp words.

Ji Wuming, who was listening from outside, finally breathed a sigh of relief. He never expected that Ye Lingling, who was usually taciturn and had impeccable aristocratic manners, would be like this behind the scenes. It was too much; she was even more lustful than him, a man.

"Yes, it's too bright and too big here, so there are many things you can't do properly, Yan Yan. It's okay, let's go to the inner room, where it's dimmer. I'm a doctor, so you have to listen to me. I'll give you a thorough examination to prevent any health problems caused by the rapid growth."

Before Dugu Yan could react, Ye Lingling grabbed her hand and quickly led her into the inner room.

The latest novel is first published here!

At that moment, Ji Wuming, who was listening outside, became especially furious.

"No, this can't be done!"

Then, in a fit of rage, he smashed a hole in the already cracked wall.

"Damn it, we've been exposed!"

At this moment, Ji Wuming felt the same tension and fear he had experienced when he was jumping into the furnace.

Upon hearing the commotion, the two women immediately turned around and were shocked to see the hole.

Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling exchanged a glance, their cheeks flushed crimson. Ye Lingling, in particular, looked dazed, her face burning with shame.

In less than three seconds, the two women's eyes flashed with boundless ferocity. Their fists clenched so tightly their delicate hands looked as if they were about to draw blood. Dugu Yan was the first to burst out the door.

"Who, who on earth is eavesdropping?"

She looked around but didn't see the thief who had been stealing their conversation, and the outside was unusually quiet.

"Could it be Brother Ji? Aside from a few female doctors, he's the only man left at the entire Ye family clinic. If it's not him, who else would be so bored?"

Dugu Yan stormed toward the next room. If it was true that Brother Ji had overheard their conversation, especially the content of it, she would be even more ashamed.

Before that, she was determined to give him a good beating, and even have her grandfather teach this unreasonable fiancé a lesson. Ye Lingling followed closely behind Dugu Yan, her blush still lingering.

The door was kicked open with a bang, and Dugu Yan angrily looked into the room, only to find it empty. She suddenly unleashed her soul power, filled with rage.

"Well, that big liar has gone into hiding."

Suddenly, as the door to the inner room was gently pushed open, Ji Wuming slowly walked out, carrying a green porcelain bottle with a weed from the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire stuck in it.

"Little sister, Miss Lingling, do you think my way of arranging grass looks good? I feel like there's something missing between the green and cyan."

With all the shamelessness he had ever accumulated in deceiving people, Ji Wuming gladly introduced his achievements to them.
