Chapter 61

"Ha ha! Big Brother, I understand your lesson." Li Xunhuan smiled, seemingly unconcerned.

His smile was very charming, like that of a carefree playboy, but this carefree smile did not irritate anyone; instead, it added to his charm. However, who could know the pain hidden beneath this carefree smile?

"You, you!" Long Xiaoyun, seeing Li Xunhuan's appearance, knew he would remain the same. Although he secretly rejoiced at this, he put on a look of disappointment.

After that, neither of them spoke and walked straight to the Cold Fragrance Pavilion.

Long Xiaoyun looked at Li Xunhuan, seeing that he had no intention of speaking, and looked up to the second floor, shouting loudly, "Shi Yin, I and Xunhuan have come to see you!"

"Ah!" Lin Shi Yin, in Dong Bubai's arms, was startled by the voice.

"Brother!" Lin Shi Yin thought, her face immediately turning pale. Her numb eyes suddenly sparkled, and she tried to get up from Dong Bubai's arms.

"Ha!" Dong Bubai sneered, tightening his grip, making it impossible for Lin Shi Yin to move.

"Remember, you are now Dong Bubai's woman. Don't do anything that will make your man lose face." Dong Bubai leaned close to Lin Shi Yin's delicate ear, speaking with a hint of coldness.

Lin Shi Yin's body stiffened, her eyes losing their sparkle, leaving only numbness, self-mockery, and despair.

Ha ha! Do I still have the face to see my brother? I am already unclean. If this villain gets angry, he might harm my brother.

Thinking this, Lin Shi Yin stopped struggling, her body weak and limp, leaning against Dong Bubai.

"Shi Yin!" At this moment, Li Xunhuan's face suddenly changed. His carefree smile vanished, replaced by panic, and he rushed into the Cold Fragrance Pavilion.

"Xunhuan?" Long Xiaoyun frowned, not understanding what was happening, but followed quickly.

"Thud, thud, thud!" The hurried and anxious footsteps up the stairs clearly showed Li Xunhuan's anxiety and panic, so much so that he forgot his light and agile skills.

He had never intruded on Lin Shi Yin's residence, so he did not notice Dong Bubai, who was injured and unable to perfectly conceal his presence.

But for Lin Shi Yin, he would always be fully attentive. He had just heard a man's voice, though he did not hear clearly what the man said, it was enough to throw him into a state of confusion.

Hearing the footsteps, Lin Shi Yin shrank into Dong Bubai's arms, her small hands tightly gripping the collar of his shirt, her body trembling, afraid to look outside.

Dong Bubai's lips curled into a cold, amused smile. His right hand tightened around Lin Shi Yin, while his left hand played with a strand of her hair.

"Bang!"

The door, which was bolted, was pushed open from the outside, and a panicked Li Xunhuan appeared at the door.

But immediately, Li Xunhuan froze, standing motionless at the door, his eyes fixed on Dong Bubai, who held Lin Shi Yin in his arms.

"What's wrong? Xunhuan." Long Xiaoyun arrived at the door, frowning at Li Xunhuan and looking inside.

At this sight, his eyes widened, and he was stunned for a second. Anger surged within him, his hands trembling with veins bulging, his eyes bloodshot, and a mad impulse rushed to his mind: "Villain, release Shi Yin!"

"Ha!"

As he roared, Long Xiaoyun leaped over the stunned Li Xunhuan and punched directly at Dong Bubai.

"Hmph!" Dong Bubai sneered, not even looking at Long Xiaoyun. With a wave of his left hand, his red sleeve struck out, like swatting a fly.

But this seemingly light wave struck Long Xiaoyun with immense force, as if a mountain had crashed into him. He felt his bones breaking.

"Bang!"

"Spit!"

Long Xiaoyun's mighty body flew backward, blood gushing from his mouth.

"Hmph!" Dong Bubai sneered again, pushing out with his left hand, and the blood spewed from Long Xiaoyun's mouth turned and struck him like bullets.

"Big Brother!" Li Xunhuan finally reacted, catching Long Xiaoyun's body in a panic. At the same time, a delicate and exquisite throwing knife appeared in his right hand.

Dong Bubai's eyes narrowed, turning to look at Li Xunhuan with a cold gaze.

At this moment, Lin Shi Yin also reacted, her face pale. She did not care about Long Xiaoyun, but the conflict and Li Xunhuan's readiness to use the throwing knife made her lose her calm.

"Brother, don't!" Lin Shi Yin stretched out her hands to embrace Dong Bubai's upper body, calling out to Li Xunhuan.

She knew this was not the time to plead for Li Xunhuan's safety from Dong Bubai, as it would only make this domineering, heartless, and proud man angrier. So, she could only ask Li Xunhuan not to act, pretending to support Dong Bubai.

Dong Bubai's eyes flashed, looking at Lin Shi Yin. He understood her thoughts, but her actions made him pause his intention to attack.

No matter what, it was good that she knew how to protect her man in front of others, even if it was with ulterior motives, it was forgivable for now.

"Shi Yin, you...?" Li Xunhuan looked at Lin Shi Yin in disbelief, a mix of heartache, despair, questioning, and a sense of hopelessness overwhelming him, almost forgetting the severely injured Long Xiaoyun in his hands.

"Brother, this is my future husband. Don't you want to meet him?" Lin Shi Yin smiled, a bitter smile, but her beauty remained undiminished, her slightly swollen eyes adding to her allure.

Li Xunhuan's gaze shifted to Dong Bubai. He did not know his own appearance, but for the first time in his life, he felt a desire to kill. However, the throwing knife, which he usually handled with ease, would not leave his hand.

This is Shi Yin's husband! This is Shi Yin's husband!

...

This thought kept spinning in his mind. Just this one sentence was enough to drain all his strength, and the throwing knife would never leave his hand.

"Cough, cough, cough!" At this moment, Long Xiaoyun, who had been in a daze, finally regained some consciousness and coughed up more blood.

"Big Brother!" Li Xunhuan, remembering Long Xiaoyun's presence, quickly checked his injuries.

"You, you, so cruel...!" Long Xiaoyun, ignoring Li Xunhuan, looked at Dong Bubai with fear, speaking with difficulty.

At this moment, his heart was dead, not just because of Lin Shi Yin, but also because Dong Bubai's light wave had severed all his meridians, making him a cripple for life.

"You are so cruel!" Li Xunhuan, understanding Long Xiaoyun's condition, looked at Dong Bubai with pain and anger, his grip on the throwing knife tightening, veins bulging, but he could not throw it.

"Hmph! If it weren't for Shi Yin, he would already be dead." Dong Bubai looked at Long Xiaoyun for the first time, speaking with disdain.

At the same time, he was ready. If Li Xunhuan dared to throw the knife, he was confident he could kill him with one strike. He was also curious about the prowess of the Little Li Throwing Knife.

Unfortunately, if Li Xunhuan had thrown the knife, he would not be Li Xunhuan.

"You!" Li Xunhuan was even angrier, his eyes filled with infinite pain, looking at Lin Shi Yin, as if asking why she chose such a husband.

But he could not ask, because he had given up on Lin Shi Yin first. Now that she had chosen her own husband, what right did he have to question her?

"Alright, Brother, my husband has shown mercy. You should take Big Brother Long and leave. We will move out of the Li Garden soon." Lin Shi Yin said resolutely, her eyes redder but not shedding a single tear.

Li Xunhuan looked at Lin Shi Yin in disbelief, unable to believe that his kind cousin could say such heartless words. Suddenly, he seemed to think of something, his eyes fixed on Dong Bubai.

"Shi Yin, tell me, did he force you?" Li Xunhuan asked, his voice trembling.

Lin Shi Yin glanced at Dong Bubai, then at Li Xunhuan, her voice clear and calm, evoking pity: "Brother, my husband will treat me well. He gives me a sense of security and reliance. He is my husband for life. Please don't say such things anymore."

"Clang!" Li Xunhuan's body stiffened, feeling weak, and the throwing knife fell to the ground. Long Xiaoyun, unable to bear the physical and mental blows, fainted.

"Ha ha ha!" Li Xunhuan laughed bitterly, mustering all his strength: "Cousin, it's my fault. I shouldn't have said such things. I'm sorry. You don't have to leave the Li Garden. Stay as long as you like."

"No need. I will take Shi Yin away soon. If you have anything to say, say it now." Dong Bubai, who had been watching coldly, suddenly spoke, gently helping Lin Shi Yin out of his arms.

"Who are you?" Li Xunhuan asked heavily.

Although he felt all his strength leaving him, wanting to find a place to sleep, his concern for Lin Shi Yin forced him to examine Dong Bubai carefully.

"I am Dong Bubai."

"Dong Bubai!" Li Xunhuan's eyes sparkled, as if he had realized something. Although he had been drowning in alcohol on the Qinhuai River, he was still aware of the major events in Jinling.

Now that Dong Bubai was hiding here, he must have forced Shi Yin. And Shi Yin...

He turned to look at Lin Shi Yin, the sparkle in his eyes disappearing. Well, well, it's better for Shi Yin to be with him than with me. At least on Blackwood Cliff, no one will dare to bully or harm her.
