Chapter 71: The fiancée acted self-important, and the protagonist’s little sister prepared for pregnancy face-to-face.

Husband?

Ning Bei froze for a moment.

A delighted arc lifted the corner of his mouth; although he understood that Qin Jiujiu was staking her claim, this was still the first time she had called him that.

Little Jiujiu sure knew how to play the game!

“What?”

By contrast, Lin Yueyao looked as though she had been struck by lightning.

She spun around, glared at the gorgeous rival girl, and scolded, “Hey, have you no shame? Why call him ‘husband’ when you two aren’t even married?”

“Ning Bei, look at how eager she is… hurry and tell her you’re only toying with her, using her to make me fall for you; otherwise my promise to you won’t count.”

Lin Yueyao stomped her foot and whined.

“What a turn-off!”

Ning Bei laughed in exasperation.

Sometimes he truly wanted to pry open Lin Yueyao’s head to see what was inside.

How could she be this self-absorbed?

One second she suspected she was being played hard to get, and the next she believed it without question?

Qin Jiujiu had already overheard their conversation, so she likewise let out a cold laugh at Lin Yueyao’s self-important words.

The next moment she bypassed Lin Yueyao, walked to Ning Bei’s side, and said, “Husband, you already finished refining the Pregnancy Pill?”

“Yes, take a look at how your man did.”

“Wow, Husband, you’re amazing!”

Qin Jiujiu’s beautiful eyes sparkled, pure worship written all over her face.

She was not only putting on a show for Lin Yueyao; she was genuinely thrilled.

The three Pregnancy Pills emitted an aura of perfect grade, and she had never expected Ning Bei to possess such skill.

It was as though he were cheating.

How could one person be this outstanding?

While the two spoke, Lin Yueyao was practically invisible.

She could not understand…

Just moments ago she and Ning Bei had been chatting happily in a room, and she had even compromised enough to consider…

…consider being pushed onto the bed.

So why was Ning Bei still getting cozy with Qin Jiujiu?

“Lin Yueyao, what are you still doing here?” Ning Bei raised a brow at her and said, “Do I have to make you leave by force?”

“Ning Bei, are you serious?”

Lin Yueyao spoke with mixed feelings.

She had laid things out so plainly just now, and she refused to believe Ning Bei was not the least bit tempted by her body.

With her looks and figure, what man would not be interested?

In the past she had given Ning Bei no chance, but now she was willing!

“Actually I ought to thank you,” Qin Jiujiu suddenly said.

“Thank me?”

Lin Yueyao was totally confused.

The next instant Qin Jiujiu hooked her arm through Ning Bei’s and said, “If you hadn’t dumped Ning Bei for someone else, how would I have met such a great man? Still, business is business; from now on you’d better stay away from my husband, because if you upset me…”

As she spoke, she shot Ning Bei a look.

Ning Bei caught on and added, “If you sour my little wife’s mood, it will be bad for the baby.”

“Mhm~”

Qin Jiujiu blushed.

Lin Yueyao trembled as though thunderstruck and cried, “Having a baby… Ning Bei, you actually want a child with her? If you keep talking like that, I really won’t consider giving you…”

Before Lin Yueyao could finish, Ning Bei picked up a Pregnancy Pill and said, “Little wife, open up.”

“Ah~”

Qin Jiujiu obediently opened her mouth.

Her cherry lips gleamed with a pearl-like allure, tinged with the pink of a budding flower and utterly mouthwatering.

One kiss could sweeten an entire day!

Gulp~

Qin Jiujiu swallowed the Pregnancy Pill.

At that moment Lin Yueyao went numb.

Just from the pill’s name she could guess it related to children, and a crushing sense of loss flooded her heart.

Even compromising to think about that matter could not sway Ning Bei?

“Out!”

In the end Lin Yueyao was driven out, utterly dejected.

She looked as though her soul had left her body.

Moments ago she thought they could return to the past… was it only her illusion?

She was unwilling to accept it!

Meanwhile the couple inside the room were flirting.

“Why do you call me little wife?” Qin Jiujiu lifted her fair chin and demanded, “Do you have a big wife too?”

Ning Bei shook his head with a laugh. “Fine, fine, I’ll call you big wife from now on.”

“Then that means you still have a little wife, right?”

“Hm?”

Meeting the girl’s mischievous smile, Ning Bei blinked, then swept her into his arms and said, “So you dare tease your man now? Watch me crack some seeds and teach you your wifely duties.”

“I’m not afraid of seeds at all!”

Qin Jiujiu was full of confidence, showing no fear.

…

The following night.

“Are you sure his parents live in such a remote place?”

Kui An frowned as he spoke.

“Rest easy, godfather, it’s absolutely true!”

Qin Yu patted his chest in assurance and said with a sycophantic smile, “I’ll rely on you tonight, godfather; your great kindness will not be forgotten.”

“Hmph.” Kui An snorted and said, “Your mother told me you agreed to my condition; is that true?”

“Mother? What mother?” Qin Yu feigned ignorance and said, “Godfather, you must be mistaken; I was raised on charity and never knew my birth parents. In this world I only recognize you and Godmother!”

“Haha.”

Kui An burst into hearty laughter.

He had to admit that Qin Yu’s words suited him perfectly.

“Return to the inn and wait for me; in a bit I will deliver his parents’ heads to you.” Kui An was done talking.

“Godfather, proceed carefully.”

Qin Yu nodded repeatedly.

Watching Kui An’s departing back until he disappeared, Qin Yu’s smile suddenly turned into hatred.

“Once I finish off Ning Bei, you’re next!”

In Qin Yu’s view Kui An was stronger than Ning Bei and therefore harder to deal with.

Therefore, when facing Kui An he could only endure humiliation…

… and borrow someone else’s knife to kill!

After that, Qin Yu sneaked back to the Heavenly Martial Academy’s inn.

The whole way was safe.

It even made him doubt whether Qitian Academy really wanted to kill him that badly.

Why had he not seen a single hair of them?

As soon as he returned to the inn, Qin Yu ran into Ning Bei, who had been waiting for quite some time.

His eyes lit up and he deliberately approached, saying, “Ning Bei, you haven’t shown up all day; have you been cultivating in your room?”

“I was cracking melon seeds.”

“Huh?”

Qin Yu froze for a second.

But he did not press the issue and instead said meaningfully, “Sometimes I really envy you: a happy family, outstanding talent, respect from everyone… far better than a part-time disciple like me.”

“Really?” Ning Bei chuckled and said, “Actually I envy you too.”

“Oh? What do you envy about me?”

“You have lots of dads.”

“?”

Qin Yu’s mouth twitched and he nearly lost his composure.

Yet when he thought that in a little while Ning Bei would be left parentless, he could already picture the man bawling his eyes out…

Haha.

Just imagining it made him want to laugh aloud, and the anger in his heart faded.

“Can’t help it; my mother is just too charming!”

Thinking about Ning Bei’s grief made Qin Yu joke lightly, “It’s a pity I didn’t inherit my mother’s looks, or I’d be quite the handsome gentleman.”

“Heh~”

Ning Bei could not hold back a laugh and said, “You can’t be blamed; blame your bastard dad instead… he’s so ugly that even your still-alluring, peach-plump mother couldn’t save you.”

“You son of a…”

Qin Yu still almost exploded.

Every word from Ning Bei stabbed straight into his heart!

And the man even evaluated his mother’s figure.

“Something’s wrong… someone is about to break in…”

At that moment Wang Teng and the others rushed into the inn looking anxious.

“So fast?”

Qin Yu’s heart raced when he heard that.

Had Kui An already finished off Ning Bei’s parents in less than an hour?

But on second thought it seemed reasonable.

After all, Kui An was a Prince with formidable strength, and even though Ning Bei’s parents had studied Kui An’s Golden Vajra Scripture, the two of them were still no match for him.

So he immediately dragged Ning Bei and said, “Come on, let’s go see what’s happening.”

At this moment Qin Yu was filled with anticipation.

He could hardly wait to witness the moment Ning Bei saw his own parents’ severed heads.

That would surely be a spectacular sight!

“…..”

Ning Bei offered no resistance.

Seeing Qin Yu’s eager expression, he felt a bit expectant himself.

Whoosh!

As the two reached the main hall, a bloody head suddenly flew toward them.

It landed right in front of Qin Yu.

Yet the smile on his face instantly turned to horror. “Godfather?”

At that moment an angry voice also rang out from outside, “Is this the godfather you chose?”
