Chapter 1612: Chapter 1612: The Female Zhuge of Our Time

The night is like water.

Ye Xuan cleaned the bloodstains off his body, treated and bandaged his wounds briefly, then went to the rooftop balcony, lying on the recliner, smoking, gazing at the sky, his emotions somewhat complicated.

Today’s slaughter, too heavy.

Dozens of people from the three sects, it’s understandable, except for the Sword God who died under his sword, which left Ye Xuan somewhat disturbed.

"Consider the Sword God, he was a hero of his generation."

Ye Xuan sighed deeply, many times, life is just this vexing.

If you don’t kill him, he will kill you.

There’s no reason, only stance.

Though his heart admired and respected, Ye Xuan had no choice.

Suddenly.

A familiar fragrance wafts over.

Ye Xuan’s sword-like brows rose slightly, turning his head to see an incredibly beautiful figure.

It seems she just took a bath, her jet-black hair slightly damp, draped over her exquisite shoulders like a blooming lotus, strikingly beautiful.

A black nightgown, mature and elegant, steady and restrained, much like her personality.

"Wife, oh wife, you don’t even want to sleep with me, so please don’t dress like this at night and appear in front of me, alright? It’s exhausting being your man!" Ye Xuan couldn’t help but complain.

Lin Tong was taken aback, her delicate face blushing, somewhat shy.

Of course, she wouldn’t show it.

"Hmph, if you don’t like looking, then don’t. Who’s forcing you to look?"

Lin Tong snorted coldly, then lay down directly on the recliner next to Ye Xuan, her lazy posture and graceful curves seemingly shrouded in a divine glow under the moonlight.

It makes one want to lose it!

Wife, in the middle of the night, are you deliberately torturing me?

Seeing the incredibly alluring Lin Tong beside him, Ye Xuan’s mouth twitched, eventually closing his eyes.

Can’t cut off, can’t even sort it.

Want not to look, but can’t help looking.

Better to close his eyes, forgetting everything in the world.

A faint sadness welled up in his heart, Ye Xuan felt a bit tearful.

Looking back, Lin Tong was so proud and aloof, wasn’t she? Not to mention appearing before him in such a state, just touching a finger, and she’d lecture him for half a day.

But now...

To say Lin Tong can naturally appear before him in sexy sleepwear now is certainly something to be happy about, but this happiness is truly mixed with myriad feelings.

It’s like a tiger in a prison seeing a piece of meat outside the iron door, wanting to eat it desperately, but can’t reach it no matter what.

This feeling, who can comprehend?

Ye Xuan sighed deeply: "Perhaps, this is the calamity in my fate."

"What calamity in your fate?" Lin Tong asked puzzledly from beside him.

"Nothing." Ye Xuan didn’t want to talk more, shaking his head, continuing with closed eyes: "Why did you suddenly come up to keep me company?"

Lin Tong pursed her lips and said: "No sleepiness, can’t sleep."

"Can’t sleep?" Ye Xuan was surprised, then laughed: "Why can’t you sleep?"

Lin Tong glared at Ye Xuan, asking knowingly!

Isn’t it because I’m worried about you?

Waiting for you at home all day, finally welcomed you back home, yet covered in blood, anyone who’s your wife wouldn’t sleep well for days, right?

But Ye Xuan came back safely, Lin Tong isn’t one to nag, naturally won’t mention more.

After pondering for a moment, Lin Tong suddenly asked: "The Northern Federation’s Sword God, died?"

Ye Xuan was taken aback, the smile on his face gradually faded away, forced a bitter smile: "Yes, he’s dead, I killed him."

Lin Tong looked at Ye Xuan twice: "Seems he was a respectable person."

Ye Xuan nodded: "Right, although I feel nothing for the Northern Federation people, he was indeed respectable."

Lin Tong fell silent, knowing that there’s no use in speaking too much about the dead.

Tonight, saying she couldn’t sleep was just one of the reasons, the main reason was that when Ye Xuan returned home, she could see from his mood that something was off.

In this world, Lin Tong isn’t the one who understands Ye Xuan the most, but the one who can feel Ye Xuan’s inner emotions most acutely is none other than Lin Tong.

Lin Tong could sense that after Ye Xuan returned victoriously, there was not a trace of happiness, but rather he seemed like a child who had done something wrong, filled with guilt and compassion.

She didn’t intend to do much.

Just being a wife, shouldn’t she give him some more company at times like this?

Even if it’s just some words, it might make his heart feel better, right?

The atmosphere quieted down for a moment.

Lin Tong extended her fair hand and gently held Ye Xuan’s hand.

Ye Xuan was startled, unconsciously opening his eyes to look at Lin Tong.

Lin Tong’s lips curved with a gentle smile: "You haven’t done anything wrong, many times you’re not in control, and surely can’t fulfill everything. If you keep dwelling on it, you’re disrespecting your opponent."

"I know."

Ye Xuan felt warmth in his heart, smiling: "I just have some thoughts today, after tonight, everything will be past."

"That’s good."

Lin Tong nodded, her beautiful eyes shifted, intentionally changing the subject: "By the way, I noticed Diana, the one nicknamed Witch, seems quite interested in you?"

Ye Xuan’s expression petrified, wife, your topic change is too swift!

Your husband can’t keep up with this pace!

Ye Xuan’s dark eyes swiftly turned twice, in this instant, analyzed countless intentions behind Lin Tong’s question... No choice, this is the instinct cultivated by a strong survival desire.

Without any pause, Ye Xuan found the best response.

"Yeah, you saw it?" Ye Xuan complimented with a smile: "Wife, you truly are a modern-day female Zhuge, nothing escapes your eyes!"

"It’s obvious to anyone with eyes." Lin Tong scoffed at Ye Xuan.

"Is it that apparent?" Ye Xuan looked quite depressed.

"Couldn’t be more apparent."

Lin Tong said softly: "With just a word from you, she obediently stayed in the villa all day with a group of strangers. Although it could be interpreted as obeying superior orders, when you returned, even her glance at you was sneaky, not the usual attitude of a subordinate to a superior."

Ye Xuan rubbed his nose with some helplessness.

I want to keep a low profile, but my capability doesn’t allow it!

Lin Tong glanced at Ye Xuan again, pouting slightly: "From a normal aesthetic perspective, Diana is also a near-perfect Western woman, are you not tempted at all?"

Ye Xuan shook his head without hesitation: "Not even a little, not even half a little!"

Lin Tong stared deeply at Ye Xuan for a while, then nodded: "I see, if you were even a little interested in her, you wouldn’t have behaved as you did today, having her work painstakingly all day for you, but once you returned home, you had her go back to her post without even a kind word, and your expression was indifferent."
