Villains: Starting with the Landlady

Page 123

Ling Yun sat in Mei Ya's car, his arms around Qi Jingjing and Zhang Caiwei, his eyes closed, listening to the two women's hushed conversation.

"Jingjing, shall we go on a trip during winter break?"

"Where are you going?"

"Let's go to the Northeast, go skiing there! It's not that far anyway."

Hearing the two girls' words, Maya laughed and replied, "Isn't it minus 30 degrees Celsius there? Wouldn't you freeze to death?"

"Staying at home is so boring, I have to go out and see the world, right?"

Ling Yun had a smile on her face and was almost asleep when a series of urgent reminders rang in her ears as the car approached the school gate.

[Warning, warning, detection of far exceeding current limits... Master, the established program appears to be affected...]

This was the first time Ling Yun had encountered such a situation. After Mei Ya stopped the car, he immediately got out with Qi Jingjing and Zhang Caiwei, and said with a solemn expression, "You go in first. Don't call me for lunch. I have other things to do."

"Honey, where are you going?"

Qi Jingjing hugged him with some worry, and Zhang Caiwei also held onto one of his arms, her nervousness undisguised.

"It's nothing, just dealing with some company matters. Ling Yaxuan just messaged me."

He smiled easily, and the two girls, unsuspecting, still walked into the campus with some hesitation.

Ling Yun watched Maya's car leave, then pressed his finger to his ear and pretended to make a Bluetooth call as he walked to the side: "Nana, are you alright?"

[Master, Nana is alright. There was a minor error in the main system, and it's being fixed.]

Xiao Na's words were as gentle as ever, but Ling Yun always felt as if a heavy stone was pressing on his heart.

Just then, a strange girl walked up to him, and Ling Yun couldn't stop in time, bumping into her.

The girl lost her balance and stumbled back a few steps. Seeing this, Ling Yun immediately grabbed her arm to prevent her from falling.

"Sorry, I was distracted for a moment. Are you alright?"

"It's alright." The girl smiled slightly, but when Ling Yun saw her face clearly, he was stunned.

In an instant, Ling Yun understood the meaning of Bai Juyi's poem "Song of Everlasting Regret": "A single glance back, a hundred charms bloom; the beauties of the six palaces pale in comparison."

Beautiful, absolutely breathtaking!

Ignoring her figure, her looks alone surpass even Leng Hanyan, the top of the three school beauties!

Unlike Leng Hanyan's icy aura, this girl always had a smile on her face, and her every smile and frown was enough to captivate people, regardless of gender.

Name: Gu Bingbing

Age: 19, ☆

[Value: 173, E]

[Rating: 100]

[Combat Strength: ?]

[Affection: Falling in love]

However, upon seeing the girl's attributes, Ling Yun subconsciously released her delicate hand and even took a half step back.

He had expectations for the first few items, but what about the last two?

The unknown combat power, and the lack of any "heartfelt" favorability towards him because of his abilities, all reveal a hint of strangeness.

He blinked, only to find that his combat power had become A+, and the favorability rating had been updated with the additional "Beautiful and Affinity" attribute, as if what he had just seen was an illusion.

【Master, all the bugs have been fixed. Did they affect you?】

"without……"

Ling Yun responded softly, but the girl in front of him spoke up somewhat shyly: "You must be Ling Yun?"

"Yes, I am."

"Actually... I've been looking for you for a long time."

"Is it?"

The girl wore a long white down jacket, which concealed her proud and unyielding figure. She wore only ordinary trousers and boots underneath, and her long black hair was loose. She had two cute dimples when she smiled.

Ling Yun quickly turned his head away. For some reason, he felt that having certain thoughts about the girl in front of him would taint her purity.

But he quickly turned his face and carefully examined the girl's appearance.

This face always reminded him of something, but he couldn't remember anything. It was as if he had seen her somewhere before, but it didn't seem to be her.

This feeling drove Ling Yun a little crazy. His silence left the girl somewhat at a loss, but in the end she still spoke up.

"Lingyun, can we find a quiet place to talk for a while? I have a lot to say to you."

"Let's go, let's go to the other side."

Ling Yun walked towards the small restaurant, and Gu Bingbing hurriedly followed, her steps very light, her heart filled with inexplicable excitement.

After they left, Qi Jingjing and Zhang Caiwei came out from behind the gate.

"Damn it, they pushed us both away and found a new sister for themselves!" Qi Jingjing said angrily, clenching her little fists.

"They don't seem to know each other, do they?" Zhang Caiwei asked, puzzled.

"Hmph, we'll get to know each other soon enough!"

Qi Jingjing felt a little jealous, but she didn't want to go over and ask directly. She could only pull Zhang Caiwei's hand and walk inside, saying, "Forget it, you stinky husband, you womanizer, I definitely won't see him tonight!"

"Jingjing, you can only hold out for one more night at most, right? Why don't you be decisive and not send him any messages at all!"

"Pah, so you can take this opportunity to get close to him, huh? I'm not stupid!"

Zhang Caiwei glanced at certain parts of her body and thought, "Everyone says big breasts mean no brains, and in my opinion, that's obviously true."

"That girl is so pretty! She seems even prettier than Hanyan!"

"She's so pretty, I'm sure a lot of people know her. I'll ask her later... Come with me to ambush her after school. She dared to steal my husband, I'll teach her a lesson!"

It was almost noon, and the crowd was gradually increasing. Ling Yun and her companion entered a private room further inside. After ordering, the young man crossed his hands in front of his mouth, staring intently at her.

"Tell me, which ancient martial arts lineage do you belong to, or... which sect sent you?"

To reach an "A+" level of combat power at the age of 19 is probably impossible with ancient martial arts; it's highly likely that the person came from a cultivation sect and was an unparalleled genius.

What's even stranger is that his mind-reading ability was useless against the girl; her mind seemed to be shrouded in mist.

You should know my name is Gu Bingbing, right?

She chuckled softly, but the moment she said those words, Ling Yun felt a chill run down his spine and almost couldn't resist taking action.

"What do you mean? I don't quite understand." Ling Yun maintained his calm smile, but he was already prepared to take out Mo Bai at any time.

"Auntie Xiaona, didn't you tell him who I am?"

Ling Yun's pupils trembled for a moment, and then Xiao Na's somewhat helpless tone reached their ears.

"What are you doing here, you little rascal? Isn't this just being silly? Didn't your mother stop you?"

"Hehe, it's so boring, I feel so suffocated just sitting there all the time."

Gu Bingbing unzipped her down jacket, revealing her close-fitting khaki sweater and her near-perfect curves.

Ling Yun subconsciously used his X-ray vision, but his movement was instantly captured by the girl. A blush appeared on her face, and her smile became even brighter: "Is it pretty?"

"Ahem, what's up? You know Xiaona?"

[Master, this is... uh, I guess she's my sister's daughter. I don't know how she got here. It's alright, I'll call her mom to come and catch her right away.]

"No, Aunt Xiaona!" Gu Bingbing clasped her hands together in a pleading gesture. "Please, I just want to see... I want to see Ling Yun. I promise I won't hold you back!"

【No, Master is about to go to the next world. If you stay in the main world, it will cause a chain reaction.】

"Then just take me with you."

The girl's words were truly shocking; Ling Yun, who had just been tactically drinking tea, almost choked to death.

Chapter 298 Gu Bingbing

"No, Nana, can people be brought into this Multiverse Raid?"

Ling Yun put down his teacup and looked at Gu Bingbing across from him with surprise and uncertainty.

[It's definitely not possible for an ordinary person, but Bingbing can do it; her identity is very special.]

"Wait a minute, you just said she's your sister's daughter, could she also be a system spirit?"

Ling Yun frowned. If it were related to Xiao Na, then it would be normal no matter how bizarre it was.

"I'm not a system spirit, bro... I'm just a bit special, you can think of me as something similar to you."

Ling Yun pondered for a moment. The girl opposite him looked at him with admiration and affection, which confused him. He had never met her before, so why did she have this expression?

"You're not my sister, are you?"

A plausible guess came to his mind. After all, he was found on the back mountain of the Su family, his biological parents were unknown, and Nana said that the girl was similar to him...

However, the girl quickly dismissed this idea, shaking her head repeatedly: "Of course not, how could I be your sister!"

[Master, Bingbing comes from another world and is not your sibling. However, there is a serious problem. Because of her extremely special identity, if we don't take her with us on our journey through the myriad worlds and leave her in the main world, Nana's authority won't be able to freeze her time, and the main world's time will synchronize with yours, causing unnecessary trouble.]

"So, either her mother comes and takes her away, or I take her with me?"

Yes, given this girl's somewhat foolish behavior, to avoid unnecessary trouble, I suggest sending her away.

"No!"

Gu Bingbing panicked upon hearing this and almost instantly threw herself into Ling Yun's arms, hugging his waist and burying her head against his chest, rubbing against him: "Good Ling Yun, you're the best! Don't tell my mom, okay! I'm very capable, I definitely won't hold you back. I just want to stay by your side, okay!"

Ling Yun looked surprised. Hearing the girl's coquettish accent, he felt a strange sense of nostalgia for the first time.

It felt as if I had experienced something similar many years ago.

He hugged the girl from behind, a helpless look on his face: "Alright, Nana, don't call her mom anymore, I'll take her there."

【But… oh dear, Master, I suggest you send this girl away, lest she ruin your plans in the next world!】

"It's alright, you're here. If this girl misbehaves inside, just carry her away." As Ling Yun spoke, he habitually referred to her as "girl."

[Fine, you're the master, you call the shots.]

"Thank you, Lingyun! Thank you, Aunt Nana!"

Gu Bingbing smiled very happily, and she even took the initiative to lean in and give Ling Yun a kiss, leaving the young man stunned on the spot.

The girl's face was as red as a boiled shrimp. She didn't sit back down opposite him, but instead sat down next to Ling Yun, her eyes constantly glancing at him.

Ling Yun touched the warm sensation on his cheek. He couldn't quite put his finger on this strange feeling, but he asked the waiter about it when the food was served.

"By the way, what's your mother's name?"

"It's a secret!" The girl helped him untie the chopsticks and then smiled as she refilled his teacup. "But she's also a stunning beauty!"

"Then your dad must be very happy."

Ling Yun felt a slight pang of envy. To give birth to such a near-perfect girl, her mother's appearance was naturally exceptional. However, he quickly let it go, even chuckling to himself. What did it matter to him what others thought? This damned possessiveness!

"Him..." Gu Bingbing glanced at Ling Yun, picked up a piece of food and put it in her bowl, "He's very busy. He's always having a harem outside. I don't even know how many daughters he has. My mom complains to me a lot about him, but every time my dad comes back, my mom is overjoyed and doesn't complain at all."

"Damn it, is that even possible?!" Ling Yun slammed his hand on the table, startling the girl. "If I find out about this womanizer, I'll definitely beat him up!"

"Actually, he's quite good..." the girl said softly, twirling her long hair with her fingers. "It would be even better if he cared more about his family."

"It's okay, you can meet and get to know Auntie sometime in the future."

The girl squinted, seemingly guessing what he was thinking, but still nodded and said, "Yes!"

After the meal, Lingyun took her outside.

"By the way, how long have you been here? Where are you staying?"

"I just arrived today and don't have a place to stay yet."

The girl blinked at him. Ling Yun understood and sighed, "Looks like I'll have to explain to my family that we've suddenly gained another mouth to feed."

Gu Bingbing smiled and took his arm, resting her head on his shoulder with practiced ease.

When he brought the girl to the classroom, Qi Jingjing immediately got angry. Even though Ling Yun sat down next to her, she snorted and turned her face away.

“This is my girlfriend, Qi Jingjing.” Ling Yun sat in the middle and put his arm around her waist. “Baby, her name is Gu Bingbing. She is the daughter of a distant relative of mine.”
