Villains: Starting with the Landlady

Page 132

"Lingyun, there's no better time than today, let's hold your wedding tonight."

"So fast?"

"Yes, today is a good day." Madam Jiang said with a smile. "Besides, there's something else I need to tell you."

The four arrived at the palace, where female disciples brought them tea. Lady Jiang then recounted the events in detail.

"More than ten years ago, Ling'er's mother was the high priest of the Bai Miao tribe. She married Zhao Ye, the witch king of the Hei Miao tribe. It was a marriage of convenience, and there was no love between them. Ling'er's mother was named Lin Qing'er. Because of her special status, she could not have intercourse with ordinary people and conceived Ling'er naturally."

Sun Lan was stunned. Although her strength was higher than Jiang's, she had never come into contact with such a magical power.

It's like two cultivators of the same level meeting a martial artist. If they fight bare-handed, the outcome is uncertain. But if they use their spiritual energy, the former can crush the latter.

The original strongest person on Immortal Spirit Island, Palace Master Lingyue, has passed away. Jiang's talent is average, and Ling'er is too young. Otherwise, how could she have been bullied by those strong men from the Black Miao tribe?

"Although Ling'er was not the Witch King's biological daughter, he loved her dearly and treated her as his own. However, a few years after Ling'er's birth, a great flood struck Miao territory. Ling'er's mother, framed by the leader of the Moon Worship Cult, revealed her true form as a monster and claimed that she was the cause of the flood. Forced by circumstances, the Witch King ordered the execution of her and her daughter. A mysterious figure appeared out of nowhere, rescued me and Ling'er, and handed us over to Ling'er's mother's old acquaintance, who was also Ling'er's master, the Palace Master of Lingyue Palace."

"I cannot reveal the identity of the mysterious man. Before I left by boat with Ling'er, I asked him to rescue the witch queen from prison as well, but we don't know what happened after that."

After listening, Ling Yun understood everything, but Sun Lan was still somewhat confused.

"Grandma, what is your purpose in telling me all this?"

Hearing Ling Yun also call her "Grandma," Jiang Shi smiled broadly, but still said with a hint of worry, "Those three Black Miao people yesterday were sent from over there to capture Ling'er. Although they are dead, they obviously already know our hiding place, so there's no point in hiding any longer. There are all sorts of misunderstandings involved. Perhaps the Witch King was held hostage by the Moon Worship Cult Leader back then; otherwise, given his personality, he would never have killed the Witch Queen and Ling'er."

"what do you mean……"

Madam Jiang nodded: "I hope you will take Ling'er to Miao territory to find her birth mother."

Sun Lan looked at the three people in the room and took Ling Yun's small hand.

“Yun’er, Miss Zhao’s background is also very tragic. Her mother’s whereabouts are unknown, and her father is suspected of being controlled by someone. Your aunt has always felt that keeping you close by is to protect you, but you have grown up now…”

"Auntie."

Sun Lan intertwined her fingers with his, her expression gentle: "After you and Ling'er have your wedding, go out for a walk!"

Chapter 314 Newlyweds

As dusk settled over Lingyue Palace on Fairy Spirit Island, countless female disciples of the palace adorned the palace, bustling about in preparation for the marriage of Lingyun and Zhao Ling'er.

The efficiency in the world of immortals and heroes is truly remarkable. After several female disciples helped him and Ling'er measure their body sizes, they quickly made two sets of bright red wedding clothes.

Zhao Ling'er was enveloped in happiness and shyness throughout, while Ling Yun was quite composed. However, since this was his first wedding, he was also a little excited.

Sun Lan and Jiang worked together to manage various plans and details. The etiquette and customs of Miao territory and the Central Plains were quite different, but ultimately there was no major difference.

As dusk fell and the beautiful lanterns illuminated the entire Lingyue Palace, the wedding ceremony officially began.

There were no complicated procedures; everything was kept simple. After bowing to Heaven and Earth, Lingyun and Zhao Lingyun bowed to Sun Lan and Jiang Shi, who were seated at the head of the table. Then, the two of them faced each other and bowed deeply.

Amidst the commotion of the female disciples, Ling Yun scooped up Zhao Ling'er and carried her into the bridal chamber.

Inside the room were disciples who took care of her daily needs and some food. Ling Yun went outside and drank and ate with the women.

Slightly tipsy, Ling Yun bid farewell to everyone and went to the bridal chamber he had longed for.

The accompanying female disciples left, leaving only the petite and exquisite young girl, covered with a red veil, sitting dignifiedly by the bed.

"Ling'er."

The call made Zhao Ling'er tremble, whether from excitement or nervousness, it was hard to tell.

Ling Yun sat down beside her and gently lifted the red veil with his hand.

Beneath the veil, the young girl's almond-shaped eyes and rosy cheeks revealed her unparalleled beauty, like a pure lotus emerging from a muddy pond, meant to be admired from afar but not to be touched.

"Brother Lingyun..."

The girl looked up at him with her pretty face, and Ling Yun, on a whim, pulled her into his arms.

..............................

..............................

..............................

On Fairy Island lies a secluded paradise, where a lone lotus sleeps in the pond, accompanied by the moon. One day, a storm blows it onto the water's surface; may you find it and cherish it.

From this day forward, Zhao Ling'er's tragic fate will be forever changed. Looking at the sleeping girl's face, Ling Yun secretly vowed that as long as he was there, he would never let her suffer any more harm.

Of course, there are also several young girls in this world whose fates await his redemption.

Whether it was Anu, whom he had only glimpsed briefly in Yuhang Town, or the pampered and ruthless young lady of the Lin family manor, now that he was here, he would do his best.

Although thinking of Lin Yueru and Anu in front of Zhao Ling'er makes him seem a bit scummy, these are memories he can't erase from his heart.

The Legend of Sword and Fairy 1 was a game he played when he was a child. When he got a little older, Su Qingya, for his safety and other reasons, equipped him with a smartphone.

He has always enjoyed playing games, and he quickly found a mobile game called "Chinese Paladin" on it.

The game also touted itself as a nostalgic recreation of the original storyline, and he fell in love with it after playing it for only a short time.

In the game, he met a player whose IDs were quite interesting. One had the characters "逍遥" (Xiaoyao) in their names, and the other had the characters "月如" (Yueru). They got to know each other and added each other as friends on WeChat.

The two talked mostly about games, not much about real life, but Lingyun knew that the other person was considerably older than him.

The two of them fight together in cross-server battles, build a guild, and become sworn brothers, etc.

But as time went on, Lingyun became less interested in the game, and even stopped playing it for a long time. At first, his friend would ask him when he would come back, but as time went on, the two grew increasingly distant.

Then one day, he got interested and downloaded the game again. He found that even though he had set a rule that if someone didn't log in for a month, they would be kicked out of the guild, but even though he had been offline for more than 200 days, "Yueru" still had his spot reserved.

The two agreed to fight another cross-server battle. Even though he was the number one player in the entire server before, he could no longer keep up due to several version updates.

However, they won that game.

The only role he could play was Li Xiaoyao, and the only friend he could play was Lin Yueru.

The two joked around in the chat channel for a while, but in the end, Lingyun didn't continue playing and chose to give up.

Years passed, people came and went, and Lingyun's friends list on her phone grew and decreased, gradually losing touch with her. When Lingyun realized she couldn't find her and thought about playing the game again, she discovered that the game had been offline for a long time.

In June 2023, he discovered that another Legend of Sword and Fairy mobile game had been launched. He played it for a while out of nostalgia, but then uninstalled it.

Because he realized that what he missed was not the Legend of Sword and Fairy mobile game, but the time he spent with "Yueru"... but he missed it.

Ling Yun suddenly laughed. He was clearly not satisfied with having so many women; he was really too much of a womanizer.

Perhaps the girl with the ID "Yueru" is just average-looking, and he wouldn't pay much attention to her if they met in person. Or perhaps she's already a mother and living a quiet life.

In the main world, in an ordinary residential community in the capital city, at Zhao Yingxuan's home.

A beautiful female teacher wearing glasses was looking at the snow scene outside. Time seemed to stand still, and her movements were frozen in place, just like the snowflakes falling outside.

She held her phone in her hand, and on the screen was a game interface—ID: Beloved Yue Ru.

The next morning, Zhao Ling'er woke up from her sleep. When she saw the familiar big bed, she trembled and then turned her head to look at the side.

He's still here, Brother Lingyun is still here.

The girl smiled and leaned against him. Ling Yun, who had already woken up, opened his eyes, hugged the girl, and kissed her.

Good morning, Ling'er.

Good morning, Brother Lingyun!

Ling Yun didn't correct her way of addressing him. After a period of intimacy, the two got up to wash and get dressed. As Ling Yun looked at the girl's graceful figure, some of the unpleasant memories from last night faded away.

Upon arriving at the hall, Jiang Shi and Sun Lan were already seated. Seeing the newlyweds, they both smiled with heartfelt blessings.

“I was thinking that no matter what, I would at least let you stay here for a couple more days, but you should leave as soon as possible.”

"Grandma, what if those Black Miao people come again?" Zhao Ling'er looked at Jiang Shi, her eyes filled with reluctance.

"Don't worry, Ling'er. With Grandma Heroine here, along with me and all these female disciples, even if we're outmatched, we'll be able to escape. Besides, if we stay here and activate this great formation, those bastards will mistakenly believe you're still on the island, which will make it easier for you to carry out your plans."

After Jiang finished speaking, she looked at Ling Yun and said, "Moreover, I feel very relieved to have Ling Yun by your side. Although his strength may not be as high as it was back then, with his talent and ability, when you arrive in Miao territory, even the Moon Worship Cult Leader probably won't dare to do anything to you."

Zhao Ling'er nodded and took Ling Yun's large hand.

"Then I'll take my son and Ling'er back to Yuhang Town first. I'll pack my things and move over before evening."

Madam Jiang sighed and said gratefully, "Thank you so much, Miss Sun!"

“Now that Ling’er has married Yun’er, they’re family now, and we’re practically in-laws. It’s only right that we help each other out. I’m looking forward to helping them take care of their children!”

Jiang laughed heartily. The descendants of Nuwa's clan cannot have intercourse with ordinary people, but Ling Yun is obviously not in this category, so it's not a problem.

After bidding farewell to the Jiang family, the three of them arrived at the shore and boarded a boat from Xianling Island, sailing towards Yuhang Town.

Chapter 315 Suzhou Romance [Bonus Chapter for Monthly Tickets]

After returning to the inn in Yuhang Town, Sun Lan went back to her room, took out a package, and handed it to Ling Yun.

"This is something your father, Li Sansi, left you so that you can use it when you travel the world in the future."

Ling Yun opened the package, inside which was an iron sword, some silver coins, and a manual called "Flying Dragon Cloud-Piercing Hand".

Speaking of the Flying Dragon Cloud-Piercing Hand, it can be considered a great skill, allowing you to steal important items from your opponent during battle.

This technique was created by Li Hankong, known as the "Heroic Thief of Bashu," and later passed on to Little Monkey Spirit. Little Monkey Spirit then passed it on to Jing Tian, ​​the protagonist of Chinese Paladin 3. Jing Tian took Li Sansi as his disciple and passed on the Flying Dragon Cloud-Piercing Hand technique to him.

[Congratulations, Master, on learning the "Flying Dragon Cloud-Piercing Hand"! This amazing skill can steal equipment, items, and more from your opponent, and it also has some other unspeakable uses~]

Wonderful uses? Ling Yun was a little curious. This special skill didn't have any skill levels; once you learned it, you learned it. He just didn't know how effective it would be in practice.

Could it be that we can just force the opponent to remove their armor?

“Yun’er, actually your parents…” Sun Lan saw Ling Yun staring at the manual in a daze and assumed he was reminiscing about his parents.

"They should be dead by now." Ling Yun calmly put away the manual. "Auntie, actually I already knew some things. But don't worry, I'm different from them. I'll take Ling'er back to Miao territory to reunite with her family and resolve things there before I come back."

You must be careful.

Sun Lan held his hand tightly, and Ling Yun nodded firmly. Then he glanced at Zhao Ling'er and said softly, "Ling'er, wait here for a moment. I have something I want to tell your aunt in private."

Zhao Ling'er nodded obediently and sat down on the chair outside.

Ling Yun led Sun Lan, whose face was slightly flushed, back to her room...

The inn will be managed by the Ding sisters. They are both family members, and Ling Yun will not treat them unfairly.

As for Wang Xiaohu, he was quite shocked when Ling Yun appeared in front of him with Zhao Ling'er.

"Fairy sister!"

"Hey, Little Tiger, she's not some fairy godmother, she's your sister-in-law!"

Ling Yun put his arm around Zhao Ling'er's waist, and the girl smiled brightly.

"Huh?" Wang Xiaohu's mouth dropped open, then he exclaimed in admiration, "Brother Ling is truly amazing!"

"Here, Little Tiger, this is a manual I wrote on swordsmanship and palm techniques. Keep it safe and practice it diligently later!"

"Ok!"

Wang Xiaohu solemnly accepted the two martial arts manuals from him. Then, Ling Yun took out the Cold Moon Blade, which he had collected in the martial arts world, and handed it to Xiaohu.

"Little Tiger, this knife has quite a history. I'm taking your sister-in-law on a long trip. When I come back, if I find that you've lost this knife, or haven't even learned a single move from it, I'm definitely going to give you a good beating!"

"Don't worry, Brother Ling, I will do my best!"

Ling Yun ruffled Wang Xiaohu's peach-shaped hair and took Zhao Ling'er to the dock.

The sea was calm today, perfect for travel. After a brief negotiation, the two boarded a merchant ship bound for Suzhou.

As Lingyun stood on the deck and looked out, he saw the increasingly familiar scenery of Suzhou and couldn't help but feel a little tempted.

Could it be that I'm stuck in this Suzhou? In the world of martial arts, the story begins in Suzhou, where the kingdom was restored, and now I've come to Suzhou again.

However, last time he was Murong Fu, and his status was vastly different.

Although Suzhou is still Suzhou, the cultural landscape is completely different, but the beautiful scenery by the lake remains unchanged.

The merchant ship docked, and Lingyun took Zhao Ling'er's hand and walked into the city.

As the two passed through the city gate and arrived at a grove of trees, they heard the mournful cries of a man and a woman in the distance.

Before Ling Yun could speak, the kind-hearted Zhao Ling'er quickly pulled him aside and said, "Brother Ling Yun, is someone in danger? Should we go and check on them?"

Under normal circumstances, Ling Yun would definitely not want to get involved, but this is the first time another female lead has appeared in the story!

He pretended to be a chivalrous person and led Zhao Ling'er into the forest.
