Chapter 793: Chapter 789: Instantly Killing a Middle Stage Expert of the Body Separation Realm_2
The banquet had left a gloomy feeling in the air.
Only after the feast ended and Li Lin, having drunk a bit too much from Lin Zifeng’s arrival, was accompanied home by her parents.
Today was a happy feast, and almost everyone drank merrily, even if Lin Yulong was made gloomy by Lin Zifeng’s sudden appearance.
After departing the banquet, Lin Zifeng intended to go home for a visit, but found his sister-in-law, Qian Mingyue, already waiting for him at the entrance of his dilapidated home.
The evening breeze fluttered, and the woman’s fair cheeks, framed by her long hair, looked exceptionally moving.
Bowing her head with a somewhat nervous expression.
Her attire wasn’t outdated, carrying the charm of a married woman from a big city.
During Lin Zifeng’s last visit, he was treated coldly by Lin Yulong, and she had not found a chance to utter a single word to him since then.
“When did you come back?”
The woman asked softly.
“Are you asking when I came over, or when I came back?” Lin Zifeng touched his nose.
The feeling of time fleeting was truly quick.
“Of course, I’m asking when you came over.”
“Today,” Lin Zifeng now had little to say to her.
“Have you, have you been doing well these years?” The woman pondered and her dry throat hesitated to ask anything.
“Standing alive and well in front of you now, do you think I’m doing okay?” Lin Zifeng said with a smile.
“Go back, don’t let your cousin suspect anything.”
To relieve the pressure, Lin Zifeng took out a cigarette and gently lit it.
His gaze somewhat dodged.
“I’m sorry, Lin Zifeng.” Qian Mingyue suddenly raised her head and said.
“Sister-in-law, don’t say that, let the past be the past. Now that you are my sister-in-law, there are some things, some words, I think you need not explain. I understand,” he said.
“Have you really never hated me?”
“Hate you? Why should I hate you?”
Lin Zifeng felt a bit melancholic. In high school, Qian Mingyue had liked him, and Lin Zifeng was very aware of it. But through it all, he never had any improper thoughts about her; even when they studied together, Lin Zifeng simply considered her a confidant at most, or just a good friend at best.
He simply couldn’t develop much affection for her, even now as she had become a married woman, his sister-in-law. Lin Zifeng felt nothing.
“You, you don’t resent me for becoming involved with your cousin?”
The woman’s eyes brimmed with tears, more so from the emotional guilt towards Lin Zifeng.
“Sister-in-law, whether you and my cousin are good together isn’t for me to say. Besides, you are now my sister-in-law. Some things you must clarify morally,” he said.
Having said that, Lin Zifeng took a deep breath, unwilling to deal with her further.
But as he walked past Qian Mingyue, the woman quickly followed after him.
“Sister-in-law, I don’t want to break up your family!”
Lin Zifeng turned around abruptly and declared firmly.
“Have you never thought of me?” The woman looked up, tears streaming down her pretty face, appearing pitiable.
The once high school belle was now close at hand for a face-to-face conversation, this disarray of time making it seem as if they were transported back to those beautiful bygone days.
Unfortunately, that was only the past.
“No! Lin Zifeng, you haven’t ruined my family. I know you’ve never loved me and that from the very beginning, you’ve seen me only as a close friend. Yet, even so, I still can’t escape my love for you! Do you know how I’ve lived these years since you left my side? Do you realize how often I’ve lingered alone in front of your cold doorstep, and every time my tears fall uncontrollably, how much I’ve longed for you to come back, to take a look at me, to see that at your doorstep there is still a woman who loves you deeply waiting silently for you, but I…?
Time after time of hoping, yet time after time of disappointment. Each disappointment, do you have any idea how much psychological pressure it has caused me? Lin Zifeng, you don’t understand, you simply don’t understand the painful, conflicted feelings of a woman deeply in love with a man,” she said.
Qian Mingyue became more and more agitated as she spoke, venting about topics that had been suppressed in her heart for years.
“Since that day, your cousin Lin Yulong saw me waiting here quietly. Although he still doesn’t know that I’m deeply in love with you, that was when my heart was most conflicted, and I wondered if I could ever forget you. Yet, Lin Yulong was always there with me. I didn’t like him then, let alone love him. But how many women can endure such torture, both in time and spirit?
So, I needed to forget you, to forget the times we walked by the river and enjoyed the scenery together. I accepted his kindness toward me.”
Feeling Qian Mingyue’s hysterical cries from her heart, Lin Zifeng was also moved.
It was he who had hurt a woman, he had caused her to wait in suffering.
But Lin Zifeng had not fallen in love with her.
“I’m sorry, I’ve made you suffer.”
The man caressed her tear-stained face with utmost tenderness.
“It’s alright, it’s not your fault. If there’s anyone to blame, it’s myself for loving you too much, for caring about you too deeply. I’m much better now. Perhaps letting out these feelings that I’ve hidden for so many years is a kind of release for me.”
“Thank you for silently giving so much, but I, Lin Zifeng, truly don’t deserve all this. Really!”
Lin Zifeng’s voice gradually grew hoarse.
“No! You haven’t done anything wrong. It’s all because I liked you that everything happened.”
Qian Mingyue spoke firmly, her eyes glistening with a rich hue of spring as she suddenly leaned towards Lin Zifeng, her gaze soft and filled with anticipation, “Can you fulfill one request for me?”
“What request?”
Lin Zifeng suddenly looked up, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.
But just as Lin Zifeng lifted his head, Qian Mingyue’s eyes, misty with tears, suddenly pressed forward with a forceful kiss!
“No! Sister-in-law, you can’t do this!”
Lin Zifeng reacted swiftly, backing away two steps as the woman closed her eyes, and her soft lips came forward.
“Why!”
The woman’s face changed dramatically, showing disappointment.
“Sister-in-law, now that you are my brother’s wife, I don’t want anything unnecessary to happen between us!”
Lin Zifeng cut her off with unwavering resolve. He couldn’t betray Nangong Bing.
“Can’t you even fulfill this small request for me?”
“I’m sorry, Sister-in-law. If you insist, then let’s pretend I was never here today.”
Lin Zifeng’s expression was grave as he waved his hand and walked outside.
“Zifeng! Don’t go!”
The woman suddenly clung to the man’s waist from behind, her voice tinged with reluctance, “I’ve waited for you for so many years, can’t you give me even this little consolation?”
Lin Zifeng’s heart ached as if being sliced by a knife, then he turned to look at her, his dark eyes fixated on her as he spoke softly, “I already have a girlfriend, I’m sorry!”
Having said that, Lin Zifeng gently pried her arms from around his waist.
Without hesitation, he walked forward.
“Zifeng! Won’t you even give me the final consolation?”
The woman’s face was covered in tear trails, her beauty marred by her sorrow.
“Whoosh!”
Just then,
Lin Zifeng’s piercing eyes suddenly emitted two cold glints.
Swish, swish.
Two abrupt shadows suddenly leaped from the old home towards the forest ahead, stirring the leaves into a frenzy.
“Who!”
Lin Zifeng’s eyebrows crossed fiercely, his eyes radiating a deadly intent.
The Magic Bracelet trembled.
Endless waves of Vital Energy flowed relentlessly into his arms.
Lin Zifeng’s form was as agile as a spirited cat, quickly trailing into the woods.
“Zifeng! Where are you going?”
Qian Mingyue halted her tears, only to see Lin Zifeng dashing into the forest with surprise.
“Think you can escape? Stay!”
Lin Zifeng’s eyes were sharp as he laughed wildly, Black Radiance gathering in his fists.
He smashed fiercely towards the back of the closest burly man.
“Bang!!!”
The man jumped in fright, narrowly dodging Lin Zifeng’s attack, causing dirt and debris to explode from the ground!
Avoiding this blow didn’t mean he could continue to dodge. Lin Zifeng let out a cold laugh and followed up with an even more ferocious punch.
“Pop!!!”
The man desperately raised his arms to shield his chest, and as Vital Energy dispersed, his arms were left bloody and mangled, with bone fragments exposed, creating a gruesome sight.
