Chapter 68

Ling Xiao had never seen such a beautiful woman. In terms of appearance, she was absolutely the most beautiful he had ever seen, and this included his previous life! He didn't know who the Emperor Wu Xiang used as the prototype for this face.

But there was no absolutely perfect disguise in the world. Any disguise would have its flaws, and the flaw in Emperor Wu Xiang's disguise was his aura. An ordinary person might not notice it, but a seasoned expert who had often faced life and death could always sense the awkwardness. A beauty who could topple kingdoms had a manly aura! Even if he suppressed it well, and even if others didn't know it was a man's aura, the contradiction still existed objectively.

A wave of heat suddenly rose from the abdomens of the men present, and Ling Xiao was startled. According to reason, he, who knew Emperor Wu Xiang's identity, shouldn't have such a reaction! Could Emperor Wu Xiang have practiced a charm technique? A man practicing a charm technique?

Qin Cao walked in gracefully, and the three brothers-in-law's eyes almost popped out of their sockets. The three sisters instantly became jealous and couldn't help but attack some people's waists.

The master's wife was even angrier. "You wore plain green on my birthday. Are you trying to mock me with a green light over my head?" The four sisters instantly formed a united front, ready to fight together at the eldest sister's command!

"Miss, who are you looking for?" the master's wife asked, her eyes narrowing, waiting for her to explode. "I'll beat your chest!"

"I came to buy medicine. Do you have any Angelica?" Qin Cao glanced around, pausing briefly on Ling Xiao and Ling Lingfa, then showed that charming smile again.

"Miss, are you in such a hurry? Come back another day!" the grandmother stood up, frowning, with a chicken wing still on her chopsticks.

Qin Cao looked worried, making people feel sorry for her. "I have a beloved man who hasn't come to see me. I just want to buy Angelica to hope he will return tonight!" She looked at Ling Lingfa with a tender gaze, making Ling Xiao shiver!

The master's wife, though she knew it was an act, still twitched her eye and forced a smile. "Miss, I suggest you buy Duhuo, live alone, and don't get into so much trouble!"

The two women slowly approached, and a war between women was about to begin. The three sisters clenched their fists, the three brothers-in-law ate faster, and Ling Xiao was eagerly waiting.

"Hey? Your scent is so special, it's familiar!" the master's wife suddenly pointed at Qin Cao's chest and asked.

A hint of pride flashed in Qin Cao's eyes, and she said softly, "Yes! The powder I use is called Soul Capturing, and I'm the only one in the entire capital who has it!"

"Oh! I heard that Soul Capturing can charm all men in the world, is that true?" She glanced at Ling Lingfa with a hostile look, and Ling Lingfa's struggle with his bowl intensified.

"Unfortunately, it can't charm my beloved man!" Qin Cao saw Ling Lingfa's reaction and continued, "No matter how I degrade myself, he still leaves me to come back and have dinner with his wife! So I came specially to meet the lady."

Ling Xiao saw a series of sparks between the two women and wisely joined the three brothers-in-law in their struggle with their bowls.

The grandmother slammed the table and shouted, "Today is my daughter's birthday, don't come to cause trouble!"

The master's wife waved her hand to stop her and said coldly, "Now you've seen me!"

"So beautiful!" Qin Cao praised insincerely.

"More beautiful than you!" the master's wife countered.

Qin Cao's face turned cold. This sentence touched a sensitive point of Emperor Wu Xiang. He was extremely confident in his disguise, especially this face, which was his masterpiece! Now a yellow-faced woman dared to say she was more beautiful? Even her uncle couldn't tolerate it, let alone her aunt!

She laughed coldly and added fuel to the fire, "Lady, today is your birthday. I didn't prepare anything. How about I give you this little trinket?" She pulled out a large, dazzling pearl from her sleeve, and the dazzling light made everyone close their eyes instinctively.

The master's wife stared at the thousand-year-old pearl in Qin Cao's hand and shouted at Ling Lingfa with a murderous aura, "Are you kidding me?"

"No! When you don't want to find it, it just pops out!" Ling Lingfa answered with a miserable smile, avoiding the question.

"What a joke! Give it to her? The things you give me, how can I bear to give them away!" Qin Cao had somehow come to Ling Lingfa's side, leaning on him lazily and smiling.

The master's wife stormed over and demanded, "What's the relationship between you two? Explain it to me!"

Ling Lingfa laughed foolishly and pointed at Qin Cao, who was hugging his neck, and said, "Isn't it already clear?"

"You scoundrel!" the grandmother cursed, and the grandfather pounced on Ling Lingfa, grabbing his neck and shouting, "Dare to treat my daughter like this? Are you even human?"

Ling Xiao was startled. What fast movements! He didn't expect the grandfather to be so fit! No wonder he could still have three daughters at his age.

The grandfather's act was quite convincing, and Ling Lingfa's face was turning pale. The grandmother saw this and realized it was too much. She signaled to her daughter and son-in-law, and they all went to persuade and separate the two.

"Give me back the pearl!" the master's wife shouted. It was a gift from her husband. What if it got damaged?

"Lady, don't be impulsive!" Qin Cao looked anxious, but a glint of cold light flashed in her eyes.

Ling Xiao sensed something was wrong and saw Qin Cao's skirt suddenly lift, and a leg shadow flashed. The master's wife fell to the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Ling Lingfa naturally saw this and was about to rush over in anger. Ling Xiao darted forward, grabbed his arm, and shouted, "You heartless scoundrel, I look down on you!"

Ling Lingfa's trembling arm relaxed. This was a test to see who was more important to Ling Lingfa, the master's wife or Qin Cao. This would show if Ling Lingfa had really fallen for the trap.

Ling Lingfa had to prioritize the bigger picture, but the grandmother didn't care. Seeing her daughter at a disadvantage, she grabbed a bottle and rushed over, "You fox spirit, I'll fight you to the death!"

Qin Cao was taken aback. She didn't expect Ling Lingfa's mother-in-law to be so fierce, almost like a street thug! But how could an ordinary old woman be a match for Emperor Wu Xiang? Even without showing her martial arts, she could easily dodge. Unfortunately, she underestimated the master's wife's family's ferocity.

The grandfather grabbed a candlestick and stabbed at her, and Qin Cao barely dodged. The three sisters each threw a plate at her. What surprised Ling Xiao most were the three brothers-in-law, who had been pretending to be bystanders, all flipped the table and threw three chairs at her. The whistling sound almost made Emperor Wu Xiang think it was a trap!

Then came the close combat! Of course, there was no dramatic fist fighting or leg shadowing. At most, it was just pulling hair and spitting!

At this moment, the master's wife stood up, holding a ceramic horse, ready to smash it on Qin Cao's head.

"Put the horse down!" At the critical moment, Ling Lingfa held a piece of broken porcelain to the master's wife's neck and said coldly.

"What did you say? Husband!" the master's wife looked at Ling Lingfa in disbelief.

"I said put the horse down. You scared my friend!" Ling Lingfa emphasized each word, lightly pressing the porcelain, drawing a small cut on her neck. Blood trickled down her fair skin, shocking to see!

"You're lying! You said you would love me forever!" the master's wife's voice was tinged with tears.

"You're lying too! You said you were a rabbit, but you're a tiger! A whole year older than me!" Ling Lingfa shouted angrily.

Ling Xiao was speechless. Couldn't you come up with a better reason? Even Li Yingqiong knew age wasn't an issue in love!

"You're lying, you're lying!" the master's wife kept crying, but Ling Lingfa was unmoved and continued to shout, "Put the horse down, don't throw it when I'm not paying attention. Do you think I don't know you?"

The master's wife reluctantly dropped the ceramic horse, and Ling Lingfa screamed hysterically, "Everyone, put everything down!"

No one dared to continue the chaos. Qin Cao, with messy hair, angrily straightened her clothes. The black handprints on her body seemed to be from the three brothers-in-law. It looked like someone had already verified Ling Lingfa's identity!

Ling Xiao was relieved. It was a good thing he hadn't rashly grabbed her. She could endure such treatment from the family without revealing her martial arts! If she didn't expose herself, she would be hard to deal with!

Ling Lingfa and Qin Cao held hands, and their affectionate act made Ling Xiao feel uncomfortable. Did they have to be so into it? That's a man! How long will you wash your hands afterward?

"Sorry, I disturbed your party. It's all because I wanted to see you so much! I was too selfish, goodbye!" She covered her face as if to leave, with tears in her beautiful eyes.

"Wait, I'll go with you. This place is no fun without you!" He pulled Qin Cao's hand and was about to leave.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, thinking the plan was complete. But the master's wife stood up again, as if she wanted more drama. "Husband, wait!"

Ling Lingfa turned his head in confusion. What was going on? The script didn't have this part!

"Husband, are you hungry? I'll cook you some noodles!" The master's wife's eyes were full of pleading, almost making Ling Xiao, the bystander, want to cry.

"My wife's acting is definitely Oscar-worthy!" Ling Lingfa thought, but on his face, he showed impatience. He seized the opportunity to grab the pearl and threw it at the master's wife's forehead.

"Bang!" The master's wife fell to the ground, crying.

"Shut up! You're embarrassing us!" Ling Lingfa sneered.

"Don't be angry! When we get back to Huixian Yaxu, I'll do it for you!" Qin Cao caressed Ling Lingfa's chest and threw a flirtatious glance, making him swoon.

"Which one?"

"That one!" They walked out, joking.

Just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief again, they heard Qin Cao stop and say, "Wait, the thousand-year-old pearl is a gift you gave me. I want it back." She walked over to take the pearl!

"What's going on? The script didn't have this part! The plot is ruined?" Ling Xiao suddenly realized Qin Cao's steps were faster than ever! This meant the pearl had a special significance to her! Of course, it wasn't a love token. Ling Xiao believed Ling Lingfa was still straight!

No matter what, the principle was that what the enemy wanted, you couldn't give. Ling Xiao darted forward, picked up the pearl, and shouted, "Move! Bitch! This is my master's wife's!" His eyes were firm and unyielding.

A flash of killing intent appeared in Qin Cao's eyes and disappeared. Ling Xiao sneered inwardly. She revealed her killing intent for the pearl! She was too greedy!

Actually, when Ling Xiao's fingertips touched the pearl, he already knew why. The energy flowing through his fingertips was as thick as a tidal wave!
