Chapter 170: I. I wasn’t smart to begin with

On the street, the wedding procession stretched endlessly, with wedding candies being scattered continuously in the air.

A girl with cherry-pink long hair followed behind the procession, watching everything coldly.

Finally, the wedding procession stopped in front of a manor.

Amidst the sound of firecrackers, the bride slowly walked out from the gate.

Just as the bride was about to enter the sedan chair, a cherry-colored long sword was already thrusting towards her!

By the time everyone reacted, the bride’s phoenix crown and wedding robes were scattered, and she lay in a pool of blood.

“Su Ying! You!” Lin Xun looked at Su Ying in anger, his hand already tightly gripping his long spear.

Facing her “Senior Brother,” Su Ying only smiled: “Even though you are clearly just my Heart Demon, even though you are clearly me yet pretending to be Senior Brother—even if it’s just a dream, the person Senior Brother marries in the dream can only be me.”

“‘Senior Brother’, kill Ying.” Su Ying dropped the thousand cherries in her hand, “Otherwise, as long as Ying is alive for one day, Senior Brother should not even think about marrying other women. Senior Brother can only belong to Ying.”

“Su Ying, you’re crazy!” Lin Xun thrust his spear forward.

Su Ying did not dodge or hide, only looking tenderly at the Senior Brother before her, even if he was just a falsehood manifested from her own thoughts.

Just as the tip of Lin Xun’s spear was less than an inch from Su Ying’s chest, the long spear stopped.

The surrounding environment dissipated like smoke, and what remained at last was only a void.

The Lin Xun in front of her was no longer Lin Xun, but ‘Su Ying’ holding a long spear.

“Is this your answer?”

Standing before Su Ying, the Heart Demon Su Ying looked at her with a smile.

“If Senior Brother were to marry another woman, would you really do that?”

“Of course.” Su Ying’s eyes curved.

“Even if he would hate you? Even if he would loathe you?”

“Even if Senior Brother would hate me, would loathe me, Senior Brother can only belong to me.”

‘Su Ying’ shook her head: “Su Ying, you have already fallen into madness.”

Su Ying stepped forward, gently stroking the cheek of her other self: “Why say such a thing? If Senior Brother is mine, I am a Buddha; if Senior Brother leaves me, then I am a demon.”

As Su Ying’s voice fell, the dream gradually dissipated, and the darkness was gradually driven away.

In Medicine King Valley, Zhu Ling, with her large belly, was brewing medicine for herself.

Naturally, she was brewing medicine to prevent miscarriage.

“Don’t worry, Mother won’t abandon you.” Stroking her large belly, Zhu Ling’s small nose twitched.

However, if the child asks where their father went in the future, how should she answer?

Hmph! Then she would say his father is dead!

But would the child be very sad? And that Big Bad Guy isn’t dead either…

Or else, she could say that Big Bad Guy went to a very, very far away place?

Then what would be a good name for the child?

If it’s a boy, Lin Bei? If it’s a girl, Lin Long?

But they don’t seem very pleasant to the ear…

Big Bad Guy, leaving without even naming the child, Big Bad Guy.

Thinking about it, the pregnant Zhu Ling added a handful of firewood to the fire.

Her fair palms, stained with a bit of charcoal black, touched her small face, making the girl look like a little calico cat.

After brewing the medicinal soup, Zhu Ling drank it slowly by herself and began to read in the courtyard.

The books said to practice prenatal education, so Zhu Ling picked out several books from the Medicine King Valley library, such as “The Scumbag Prevention Bible,” “Girls Must Not Easily Trust Men,” and “One Hundred Ways to Guard Against Scumbags.”

Considering the child in her belly might be a boy, Zhu Ling prepared another set.

For example, “Self-Cultivation of a Pure Love Warrior,” “Cannot Become a Scumbag, Nor Be Fooled by a Slut,” and “The Green Tea Prevention Bible.”

As she read, Zhu Ling began to doze off.

“Zhu Ling.”

Just as Zhu Ling was about to fall asleep, the voice she anticipated yet “hated” rang out from outside the courtyard.

The girl suddenly raised her head and saw Lin Xun standing outside the courtyard.

“Big Bad Guy…” Zhu Ling’s eyes instantly lit up, as if a spring breeze had brushed away the thick clouds.

However, the girl quickly turned her small head away, pouting: “What… what are you doing here?”

“Zhu Ling, I’ve thought it through.”

Lin Xun stood at the door, looking at Zhu Ling with an expression of deep remorse.

“I still love you, so I’ve come to find you. Zhu Ling, give me a chance. I will be a good husband and a good father!”

Hearing Lin Xun’s words, Zhu Ling’s heart trembled slightly: “Are… are you telling the truth?”

“It’s true, truer than real gold!” Lin Xun’s tone was full of sincerity. “Zhu Ling, let me in, okay?”

“You… you can’t lie to me again!” Zhu Ling stood up, looking at Lin Xun crossly.

“I swear!”

“Then… then I’ll believe you one more time.” Zhu Ling’s small nose twitched as she stood up to open the courtyard gate for Lin Xun.

Entering the courtyard, Lin Xun pulled Zhu Ling tightly into his arms. Zhu Ling struggled slightly, but in the end, she let this Big Bad Guy hold her.

“Zhu Ling, believe me, I have already cut off contact with Jiang Qingshang and the others. From now on, I will only be by your side.”

“Eh?” Zhu Ling raised her head from the Big Bad Guy’s embrace. “Then what about Sister Jiang and the others? What will they do?”

“Although I’m sorry for them, the one I love most is you.”

“No, that won’t do!” Zhu Ling gently pushed Lin Xun away. “Big Bad Guy, you can’t do that.”

“Hmm? Zhu Ling, isn’t it good for me to always stay by your side?”

“It won’t do, it won’t do! Big Bad Guy, I… although I don’t like you liking other women, you can’t abandon Sister Jiang and the others. You can’t do that!”

“But they want to be the primary wife, and you can only be a Secondary Wife. This is too unfair to you.”

“I…” Zhu Ling’s eyes grew slightly moist, but soon, she looked at Lin Xun firmly. “Even if I’m only a Secondary Wife, it doesn’t matter. In short, you can’t mistreat Sister Jiang and the others. They would be heartbroken.”

“Zhu Ling, is that really okay?”

“It… it’s okay.” Zhu Ling’s nose twitched as she lowered her head. “Anyway, meeting a Big Bad Guy like you is just my bad luck.”

“Not just bad luck, it’s foolishness.” A sighing female voice came.

“Eh?”

When Zhu Ling raised her head, the Lin Xun before her had already turned into her own likeness.

Looking down, Zhu Ling found that her large belly had disappeared.

“Eh? You? Aren’t you the Big Bad Guy? You…” Zhu Ling’s head was in a mess, not knowing what had happened.

“I am your Heart Demon, transformed from the worry and fear in your heart. I didn’t expect that in the end, you would actually be willing to raise that Big Bad Guy’s child, and even be willing to only be a Secondary Wife.”

The Heart Demon Zhu Ling pouted, her hands on her hips, looking like she was frustrated by her own lack of resolve.

“Even from beginning to end, although you never stopped calling that Big Bad Guy ‘Big Bad Guy,’ you didn’t hate him at all in your heart. Why are you so foolish?”

“I… I wasn’t smart to begin with.”

The Heart Demon Zhu Ling was stunned for a moment, then smiled, pressing her forehead against the girl’s: “True, we really aren’t smart… how could we be so easily fooled by a man…”
