Tang Yan's eyes went wide, and his thin lips parted slightly. *[...]*
[What did you say?! The baby in Lü Rongrong's belly isn't Feng Chen's?]
"?!!" Huh?! (‧_‧?)
Feng Sheng was also shocked speechless, her jaw nearly hitting the floor.
After a long moment, she stared blankly ahead and mechanically raised both hands to close her gaping mouth.
[Feng Chen really had it rough! He even got saddled with someone else's kid before he kicked the bucket!!]
Tang Yan paused for a moment, then his clear, pleasant voice rang out beside the three of them again.
[Holy crap! Feng Chen ended up going insane and randomly attacking people because Lü Rongrong and Feng Han conspired to poison him for years?!]
[Fuck! That's vicious!]
[I remember the book saying Feng Chen married Lü Rongrong out of responsibility. He didn't love her, but he treated her so well.]
[And that Feng Han—the Feng Family adopted him and treated him like their own son. Just how vile and filthy was his heart? He actually worked with Lü Rongrong from inside the family and joined forces with remnants of the Demon Clan to slaughter the entire Feng Family.]
Feng Sheng let out a heavy breath, inhaled deeply, exhaled, inhaled deeply, then exhaled again.
After several rounds, her wildly fluctuating emotions finally settled.
It was fine! She really was fine!!
Yet a breath later, Feng Sheng smashed a huge hole through the kitchen door with her bare hand!
A cold glint flashed in her eyes as she gritted her teeth.
Fine, her ass!! Damn it! She was about to die of rage!!
She was absolutely furious!
If she didn't want to listen a little longer, in case she could get more clues about that venomous bitch Lü Rongrong,
she would head straight back to the Feng Family right now and kill those two bastards, Lü Rongrong and Feng Han!
Outside, Tang Yan took a sip of tea to moisten his throat and was just about to keep listening to the juicy gossip the system was reporting.
Then he saw Xiao Jixue and Feng Sheng bringing breakfast out.
After all those explosive revelations, Feng Sheng's tolerance for shock had skyrocketed.
Xiao Jixue handed Tang Yan the spirit rice porridge he was holding. "Eat."
Tang Yan's thin lips curved into a faint smile. "Thanks for your hard work, eldest senior brother. Sit down and eat too."
They sat around the stone table and began breakfast amid the fragrance drifting from the nearby peach grove.
Warm sunlight spilled down, lending a touch of cozy warmth to the quiet, peaceful atmosphere.
But soon, Tang Yan's inner voice broke that peace again.
[What? Lü Rongrong used the same method to ruin the prodigies and young heirs of plenty of other families and sects before this?!]
[Wait, slow down, system.]
As Tang Yan drank his porridge, he silently counted them off on his fingers in his mind.
[The Sun Family's young heir in the Central Domain, the son of the Formation Association's president in the Central Domain, the young pavilion master of Xiaoxiang Pavilion in the Northern Domain, the hall master of Ten Thousand Arts Hall in the Western Region...]
Tang Yan counted off more than a dozen in one go.
By the time he finished listing them, Xiao Jixue and the other two were dumbfounded.
Tang Yan stared at the spirit rice porridge in his bowl, disbelief flashing in his eyes.
[Thirteen.]
[Feng Chen and all those poor suckers Lü Rongrong dated must be the cuckolds of the millennium, huh?]
Feng Sheng: ?!
Her brother really had it rough!!
What kind of taste did he have, falling for such a venomous bitch?! When she went home this time, she absolutely had to give his eyes a good scrubbing.
At the same time, Feng Sheng felt deeply regretful.
She regretted that her brother couldn't hear all this explosive gossip about himself!
If her brother could hear it, his face would surely turn red, then orange, then yellow, then green...
All those colors would definitely be quite a sight.
What a shame. Such a shame!
Feng Sheng, who loved setting her brother up and never minded making a spectacle worse, sighed inwardly with regret.
[Seriously, just what kind of heavenly beauty is Lü Rongrong? Why do all these prodigies throw themselves at her like flies charging toward shit?]
Xiao Jixue and the other two: "..." ←_←
They were eating. Why bring up shit and piss...?
The food in their bowls instantly lost its appeal, and they couldn't decide whether to swallow what was already in their mouths.
Xiao Jixue glanced at Tang Yan, who was staring at his porridge, and swallowed his own mouthful without expression.
Completely immersed in this field of explosive gossip, Tang Yan noticed nothing.
[Good lord! There's still more gossip about Lü Rongrong?! Let's hear it.]
[Huh? Lü Rongrong is already over three hundred years old and has had seven babies?! Is she popping out piglets?]
[Holy crap! She's an old cucumber painted green—really knows how to pretend she's young. If I remember right, Feng Chen is more than two hundred and fifty years younger than her, isn't he?]
Listening to all the bizarre descriptions running through Tang Yan's mind, Xiao Jixue remained expressionless.
Li Mo and Feng Sheng, however, kept nodding inwardly.
Lesson learned, lesson learned.
From now on, they would insult people just like their junior brother did!
[Oh? This old cucumber even has an unattainable true love? Who is it? Who?] Tang Yan was dying of curiosity.
Although Li Mo and Feng Sheng despised Old Cucumber Lü, they were just as curious about her gossip.
Yet the next moment, Tang Yan's gaze abruptly landed on Li Mo's face.
Li Mo: ???
Why did he suddenly have such a bad feeling?
[What the hell? The old cucumber's unattainable true love is my gentle, handsome second senior brother?!]
Li Mo:!!!
Feng Sheng:???
Tang Yan smiled at Li Mo, then withdrew his gaze.
[Damn, I never would have guessed it was second senior brother!]
[Hmm? So it happened ten years ago. Second senior brother was only fifteen then, right? Looks like the old cucumber likes fresh young meat and specifically picks handsome young men. Tsk, tsk.]
Across from Tang Yan, Li Mo chewed his food, which tasted like nothing.
Meanwhile, he sank into his memories.
After searching his recollections, he finally unearthed an unbearable episode from his dust-covered memories.
At fifteen, Li Mo had just joined the Ten Thousand Swords Sect to train.
After reaching Foundation Building, he had taken a trip home, and it was on the journey back.
Li Mo had been abducted by a gorgeous, seductive woman.
She had insisted that Li Mo call her "Rongrong" or something.
Li Mo had only just reached Foundation Building then, while that woman was already at Deity Transformation.
He had thought he would lose both his chastity and his life there, but a group of righteous cultivators who had tracked her down defeated her the very next moment.
He was rescued.
That incident left Li Mo deeply traumatized, and he suffered that terrifying nightmare for five years straight.
Only after his third junior sister, bright and sunny as a little sun, joined the sect did his condition improve somewhat.
Gradually, he completely forgot that shameful episode.
Thinking of his third junior sister, Li Mo's gaze unconsciously settled on Feng Sheng.
The faintest smile touched his lips, and traces of affection softened his eyes.
His junior sister was one of the most important people in his life, a brilliant ray of light illuminating it.
He would never let his junior sister meet such an end!
Whether he had to climb a mountain of blades, plunge into a sea of fire, or give up his life, his cultivation, and everything he had!
He would protect his junior sister!
He would never let her suffer the slightest harm!
