“Is it true that Chen Li was the one who slaughtered them? And is it also true that he could be a strange creature that resembles a dragon?” Mo Ling asked his father in shock, especially since he had barely kept up with any news since his encounter with Taotie.
Mo Long nodded to him. “Mo Tianxie witnessed Chen Li turn into a strange creature before he slaughtered those people, and he immediately went on a rampage to kill their families. Besides, he had also massacred the entire Qin family.”
“Oh?” Mo Ling was surprised to hear that. “As far as I know, the Chen family didn’t have any issues with the Qin family, but he actually massacred them.”
“You’re right about that.” Ye Wei answered Mo Ling. “However, I heard from one of Luo Zhenhai’s subordinates that Qin Ming had disappeared for quite a while, and Shen Qing was living with Chen Li now. The Qin family thought that he had something to do with his disappearance, so they joined forces with them to attack him, but they met with misfortune instead.”
“What else do you know?”
Yuan Wu answered his question first. “Shen Yu had disappeared three days ago, but Yu Lei brought another woman to their house; he and his son have never left their house since then. Besides, Bei Xiang is also the same as them, but Bei Qiang seems to have good luck because he is still out of town.”
“Huh? Do you know their identities?”
They shook their heads, and Yuan Wu continued. “No, but they seem to have completely controlled over those guys.”
Mo Ling frowned even more after he heard that. “Could it be that they are demons?”
“Demons?” Mo Long and the two women turned to him.
Mo Ling nodded and told them. “I read a lot of stories about demons, and I think the two women were lust demons commonly referred to as succubi, and they have the charm ability to make men submit to their control.”
After he thought for some time, Mo Long spoke to him. “If your guess is correct, which means Chen Li is also in cahoot with those demons, but I don’t know how he got to know them.”
“Hmm?” Mo Ling frowned as he thought deeply. “Chen Li’s actions prove that he is truly a cultivator, so he most likely has the ability to seek out the demons and get them to work together with him to bring down those families, so no one would suspect that he was behind their downfalls.”
They nodded in agreement with that, and Mo Long informed them. “Anyway, the government decided to move to stop Chen Li, and they asked all the family heads to gather to discuss our next moves.”
“I will accompany you, Dad.”
“All right.”

Chen Li and Liu Ling’er had arrived in front of Liu Zhen’s house, and Liu Ying was surprised when she opened the door. “Ling’er? How did you get together with Chen Li?” 𝑜𝑣𝘭.𝘯𝑡
“Sister Ying, let’s talk inside, and Ling’er will explain everything to you and Uncle Liu.” Chen Li said to her.
“Come in.” Liu Ying said as she led them in, and she then sat down in front of them as she watched her cousin’s expression. “Is it Chen Li who made you cry?”
“Eh?” Liu Ling’er was taken back for a moment before shaking her head. “Cousin Ying, I didn’t cry because of Chen Li, and he was the one who comforted me.”
“Really?” Liu Ying squinted her eyes as she glanced at Chen Li.
Seeing that, Chen Li actually teased her. “Why are you looking at me like that, Sister Ying? Are you ready to be my woman now?”
*Gasp*
Liu Ling’er gasped in shock after hearing that, and she then looked at Chen Li and Liu Ying in turn before asking her. “Cousin, do you have a relationship with him?”
“I-” Liu Ying felt at a loss to explain to Liu Ling’er about their relationship, and she glared fiercely at Chen Li.
“Why-”
However, Liu Zhen suddenly approached them as he asked. “Ling’er? Since when did you arrive in this city?”
“Uncle, I arrived in this city yesterday, but I had a lot of meetings yesterday.” Liu Ling’er replied as she kept glancing at Liu Ying and Chen Li, for she was very curious about their relationship.
“I see.” Liu Zhen nodded in understanding and sat beside her daughter, and he asked Liu Ling’er again. “Are you facing a serious problem? Your expression isn’t as cheerful as usual, and your eyes are still swollen, which means you’ve been crying earlier.”
Seeing that she seemed hesitant to tell them, Chen Li then patted Liu Ling’er on the shoulder. “They are also your family, so you can tell them the truth, and they will help you deal with them.”
“What exactly happened, Ling’er?” Liu Ying asked her with a serious look, and Liu Zhen was also waiting for her to tell them the truth.
Liu Ling’er let out a heavy sigh and told them everything, and Liu Ying immediately pounded the table in front of them.
*Bam*
“Your parents’ obsession with money has really blinded them! They even have the heart to sacrifice their children to fulfill their ambitions.” Liu Ying shouted angrily. “I-”
“Calm down.” Liu Zhen said as he patted his daughter’s shoulder, and he then spoke to Liu Ling’er. “For the time being, you can stay here with us, and you don’t have to worry about Luo Jingtian; I’m sure he won’t dare to come here. As for your parents, I will contact them to persuade them after this, but I’m not sure that Liu Bao and Lan Ting will listen to my words. However, you don’t need to be afraid of them; if they dare to come here to force you to go home, then I will take care of them myself.”
“Thank you, Uncle.” Liu Ling’er replied with a sigh of relief.
Liu Zhen suddenly asked Chen Li. “Is it true that you slaughtered those people?”
“They came in droves to kill me, so I killed them all by the roots at once.” Chen Li truthfully answered his question.
“I see.” Liu Zhen nodded in understanding and then told Chen Li. “I heard from Tianxie that the government will move soon, and they have ordered those people to gather in this city, so you should be careful in the next few days. Moreover, you’ve been added to the list of the most dangerous people, but they will only announce it to the public after their meeting, and I think there is a high possibility that they will mobilize their full force to get rid of you.”
“I myself had expected that they would do that, but I didn’t think much of them.” Chen Li then asked him. “Did Mo Tianxie ask you about that?”
“Yes.” Liu Zhen explained it to him right away. “After all, the person who discovered the mysterious ruins was our friend, so Tianxie also knew about it, and he decided to confirm it with me.”
Chen Li nodded repeatedly after hearing that. “Did you tell him the truth about that?”
Luo Zhenhai nodded to him. “Even if I didn’t tell him that, he could have already guessed it clearly, especially after you used your strange form in front of them.”
“It’s okay.” Chen Li took it easy. “In that case, I will return to my mansion now; there is a guest waiting for me there.”
After he said that, Chen Li immediately used the Void Tunel and disappeared from their sights, and Liu Zhen also immediately went to the campus to teach.
Meanwhile, Liu Ling’er immediately moved beside Liu Ying, and she then took her hand before asking. “Do you have a romantic relationship with Chen Li, Cousin?”
“Honestly, I’ve liked Chen Li since he was in high school, and we kissed once yesterday.” Liu Ling’er was truly surprised to hear Liu Ying’s confession, and her expression changed slightly after hearing it. “Even so, I still haven’t decided to be his woman, and I still find it complicated to accept his polyamorous relationships with his women.”
“That’s true; Chen Li’s women are too many now; even a famous actress like Mayumi Keiko is also willing to be his woman.” Liu Ling’er replied with a nod of approval. “Even so, I can see that he really loves and cares for them, and the relationship between the women also seems very close and harmonious.”
Liu Ying raised her eyebrows for a moment before asking her. “Since when did you become close to Chen Li? I know that you were his former middle school classmate, but I also remember your old character very well, so I was really surprised to see you so close to him.”
“Not really,” Liu Ling’er answered by shaking her head. “Actually, he was my very first fan, and he always listened to me sing every day when we were in middle school. However, we never met again until less than two weeks ago, so I’m not very familiar with him. Even so, I’ve agreed to be the ambassador of his pharmaceutical products, and his two fiancés are also in the same management as me now.”
“Hmm?” Seeing Liu Ling’er’s expression when she talked about Chen Li made Liu Ying even more suspicious about their relationship, so she asked her again. “Do you like him too? You don’t need to deny it, for I can see that you are so enthusiastic to talk about him.”
