A Family of Hopeless Romantics, Except for the Evil Little Junior Brother-Chapter 130: Nearly Caused a Great Disaster
After learning the truth, Bai Ling clutched her stomach, her body trembling uncontrollably.
Bai Ling’s face was pale, tears shimmering in her eyes.
“Why....”
“Why... did you tell me this?”
“Why are you telling me the truth now?”
Yan Zidong was silent. After a long while, he slowly said:
“I couldn’t stand the guilt anymore... The more time I spent with you, the more I realized I’d fallen in love with you!
I didn’t know what to do. At first, I planned to use our unborn child to make medicine for Feiyan.
That way, I’d owe her nothing in this life, cut off all ties, and spend the rest of my life with you!
But now... I’m afraid of hurting you.....”
In the past few months, Yan Zidong had unintentionally read books like [I Regret Cutting Open My Dao Partner to Take the Child for My Ex-Girlfriend], Revenge on the Scumbag Father, After My Dao Partner Cut Me Open to Take the Child, I Became Invincible...
And more than a dozen similar novels.
He had no idea why, but these kinds of storybooks were trending now.
No matter where he went, he’d encounter elements somehow related to himself.
Like, when he went to Menial Peak for a drink—
He won a prize, and the reward was an adorable baby outfit.
Which awakened his paternal instinct.
Then he accidentally got a free admission ticket to Mount Shushan’s parent-child amusement park, and saw families of three laughing happily.
Yan Zidong couldn’t help but imagine what his own family might’ve looked like......
In the end, he couldn’t hold it in anymore and confessed everything to Bai Ling.
Bai Ling took a deep breath and had to brace herself on the table just to stay standing. frёewebηovel.cѳm
“Kill me! Ling’er, do whatever you want to me if it’ll make you feel better.”
Bai Ling took a step back, tears silently streaming down her cheeks.
Why?
Why would the heavens treat me like this?
Bai Ling couldn’t help recalling how, when she was little, her father used to say over and over again—
Be kind, and blessings will follow.
But her kind-hearted father led their whole family to a tragic death.
She had been kind too, yet never received a single blessing.
She thought she’d finally found her destined one, only for it to end like this.
“Ling’er, kill me!” Yan Zidong cried uncontrollably.
“I... I forgive you...”
“Ling’er....”
Yan Zidong looked up in disbelief.
Bai Ling wiped away the tears at the corners of her eyes. “It’s all in the past now. At least you were willing to tell me everything.”
“Ling’er!!”
Yan Zidong pulled Bai Ling into a tight embrace.
The two held each other closely.
“Gentle, my belly....”
“For the rest of my life, I’ll treat you well!”
“And the baby, too.”
“Yeah, our baby!!” Yan Zidong nodded earnestly.
“I have a feeling our baby is about to be born.” Bai Ling said.
Yan Zidong said solemnly, “Our child has been in the womb for ten years. That’s definitely not normal. I’m afraid their birth will trigger a tribulation, and may attract the attention of ill-intentioned people. I’ve already chosen a safe place.”
“You really think of everything.”
A few days later.
Yan Zidong and Bai Ling left Mount Shushan.
Li Xuanxiao nodded.
Even if the plot was a bit melodramatic, he liked a happy ending.
All his efforts to make Fifth Senior Brother change his mind weren’t in vain—at least a disaster was avoided.
Time to go rest.
“.............”
Several months later.
Somewhere in a spiritual energy-rich land.
“Ahhh!”
Bai Ling clenched her teeth, her body soaked with sweat.
The bedsheet beneath her looked like it had just been pulled out of water.
“The baby... the baby...”
Yan Zidong looked on, trembling as he raised his head.
The formation set up around them activated.
Energy flowed, transforming into red threads that bound Bai Ling.
Bai Ling looked at Yan Zidong in confusion.
“Zidong!?”
“Ling’er, I’ve failed you in this life. We’ll have another child someday.”
Yan Zidong didn’t dare meet Bai Ling’s eyes, his voice trembling.
“Why!? Why!?”
“.....I’m sorry, I wronged you.”
“Then why did you confess to me? Why tell me the truth back then?”
“Because someone’s been watching me from the shadows.”
“Huh?”
“I don’t even know who it is!”
Yan Zidong insisted firmly.
“He knew my whole plan and kept dropping hints, trying to get me to stop.
There’s no such thing as coincidence. Everything I encountered was orchestrated by him.
So I had no choice but to put on a show—to deceive him, so he’d stop watching me!”
“So it was all fake, you were lying to me!”
Bai Ling was completely shattered.
All those years of love had been a waste.
Heh...
Yan Zidong shook his head. “Ling’er, I know I wronged you.
But if Feiyan continues cultivating, she’ll die!!
I can’t just stand by and watch—if I take the child, you and I will still be us.”
“Ah!!”
With Bai Ling’s agonized scream—
Yan Zidong soon realized he was wrong.
Golden Dao resonance flowed from Bai Ling’s belly, furiously resisting the formation.
If he forcefully extracted it now, Bai Ling might die right here.
Hesitation showed on Yan Zidong’s face.
His love for Bai Ling was real.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t be in such pain.
Seeing her in agony, Yan Zidong hesitated for several seconds.
Memories of Li Feiyan flashed through his mind.
“Brother Zidong, I’ll definitely become the number one swordmaster someday!”
“Brother Zidong, if you become the number one swordmaster first, wait for me, okay?”
“Brother Zidong, how long do you think a person’s life is?”
“Brother Zidong, even if I die, I’ll die on the path of cultivation.”
“Brother Zidong....”
Yan Zidong opened his eyes again, now filled with resolve.
He formed a hand seal, his voice trembling.
“Ling’er, I’ve failed you in this life. In the next, I’ll repay you even if I have to be a horse or ox!!!”
“Formation, rise........”
A massive flying kick knocked out two of Yan Zidong’s teeth.
“Who!?”
Just as a flying sword swept out of Yan Zidong’s sleeve—
His head spun, vision blurred, legs wobbled, and everything went black.
He collapsed to the ground.
Li Xuanxiao emerged from underground.
Fifth Senior Brother, oh Fifth Senior Brother, how could you do something like this!
Li Xuanxiao was thoroughly disappointed.
He still remembered when he first came to Mount Shushan, Fifth Senior Brother held him in his arms and stuffed candy beans into his mouth.
Who would've thought... who would've thought.......
Li Xuanxiao quickly deactivated the formation.
Then looked at Bai Ling—at this moment, Bai Ling looked at Li Xuanxiao in surprise.
She remembered this person—had met him once or twice.
But they weren’t close—she just knew he was Yan Zidong’s junior.
Did he save me?
Whatever. Doesn’t matter anymore.
There’s no point in living.
