"You wretched woman, are you blind! Do you want me to starve to death, or are you jealous that I've taken over your Lan Family Fort, and you're not satisfied?"
The one being struck was Ling Fan's mother-in-law, Li Huimei!
Li Huimei covered her face.
Five clear finger marks were imprinted on her face.
But she dared not resist, instead, she apologized repeatedly in a low, subservient tone.
"I'm sorry, Second Sister, I'm sorry, Second Sister! I was blind, I am not dissatisfied."
"Slap!"
Before Li Huimei could finish speaking.
Her second aunt ferociously slapped Li Huimei's face again.
Causing her other cheek to swell up high.
She cursed disdainfully, "Who is your second sister! If it weren't for you, this lowly maid, seducing my third brother back then, how could our Lan Clan have caused so many jokes later! You and that useless son-in-law of yours are both jinxes!"
"Ptooey!"
She spat a mouthful of phlegm onto Li Huimei.
"You dare to dodge?"
Slap!
She began slapping Li Huimei's ears from side to side again.
The thought of Ling Fan.
The thought of the slap Ling Fan had given her made the second aunt's heart ignite with a perverse pleasure, and she began slapping Li Huimei even more frantically.
"Your son-in-law even dared to hit me! Hmph, I'll settle this score with him sooner or later, and now I'm collecting some interest from you, you stinking woman!"
"Don't even think about him saving you. He's a rat on the street that everyone wants to beat. As long as he dares to show his face, I guarantee he'll have no place to be buried!"
The second aunt was in the midst of her beating.
Suddenly, an extremely cold voice came from behind her.
"You're still courting death as usual. Back then, outside the Jiang He Tower, I shouldn't have just slapped you, I should have directly smashed your face, you poisonous woman with a skin as thick as a city wall."
The moment she heard this voice.
The second aunt's body instantly froze.
The expression on her face was as if she had seen a ghost.
Her hand, raised high, stopped in mid-air.
She turned around with difficulty, unable to believe her eyes.
And saw the figure that filled her with immense fear.
Ling Fan!
Ling Fan had returned!
The second aunt, in her panic, fell off the lounge chair.
While Li Huimei, with tears in her eyes, cried out in surprise.
"Xiao Fan, Xiao Fan, why are you only returning now! Xue Yi... your father-in-law he... alas!"
Ling Fan nodded at his mother-in-law, Li Huimei.
Then he turned to look at the second aunt, whose face was ashen with fear.
The second aunt immediately shrunk back, using her hands and feet.
"You just said that if I dared to show my face, you'd make me die without a burial place. I'd like to see how you're going to make me die without a burial place."
Ling Fan looked down at the second aunt with disdain.
The second aunt forced a smile that was uglier than crying and said shamelessly, "Xiao Fan, you must have misheard. I'm your second aunt, and you're my nephew-in-law. How could I not wish you well?"
Ling Fan sneered, "Then what are you doing? Occupying my parents-in-law's family business, occupying their house, and treating my mother-in-law like a servant, beating her? Is this what a relative should do?"
The second aunt said, "This... I, I was also following the clan's orders! They told me to take over all of the Lan family's assets."
"Ling Fan, you have to understand your aunt. Your aunt had no choice, she was compelled! Look, I was kind enough to let your family stay in the Lan Family Fort, and didn't drive them out. Isn't that enough?"
The second aunt said shamelessly.
Before she could finish.
Ling Fan flicked his palm through the air.
Slap!
The second aunt was sent sliding more than ten meters across the ground before crashing heavily into the railing.
The second aunt was completely stunned.
Her hair was disheveled.
Her face was bruised and swollen.
Her mouth was full of broken teeth and blood.
"You! You you you!"
She was so angry her lungs were about to explode.
This Ling Fan actually dared to hit her face again.
This was too much!
She felt a surge of blood rush to her head, and she shouted angrily, "You little beast, what are you so arrogant about! Do you really think I'm afraid of you now! Let me tell you, you're like a grasshopper in autumn, you won't last a few more days!"
"Lord Wei Shengjing of the demonic Wei family is waiting for you in the Lan Clan! If you have the guts, go find him. See if he can crush you, this little bastard, with one hand. If you apologize to me now, I can still put in a good word for you and spare your life..."
Halfway through the second aunt's words.
Ling Fan snorted coldly and casually fanned again, smashing the other side of the second aunt's face, leaving it bloody and mangled!
This time, the second aunt became completely obedient.
Although she was cursing endlessly in her heart.
She no longer dared to speak recklessly.
"Mother-in-law, where are my father-in-law and Junjie?"
Ling Fan asked.
Upon hearing Ling Fan mention Lan Tianxiong and Lan Junjie, the second aunt immediately became guilty.
Li Huimei said, "They... they are... I'll take you there."
Li Huimei struggled to get up.
Ling Fan handed her a pill.
After taking it, Li Huimei felt slightly better, but she still limped as she led the way.
Ling Fan had A Liang carry the second aunt, who looked like a dead dog, behind them.
Soon.
Li Huimei led them out of the Lan Family Fort.
And arrived at the animal pen area behind it.
Beside a pigsty that reeked and was covered in sewage, a leaky thatched hut had been erected.
Inside, a simple wooden plank bed was placed.
On it lay a middle-aged man, emaciated and bony.
It was her father-in-law, Lan Tianxiong!
And her younger brother-in-law, Lan Junjie, was painstakingly boiling the herbs he had gathered for Lan Tianxiong.
Due to the crippling of his cultivation, every movement Lan Junjie made appeared extremely strenuous.
Cold sweat covered his forehead.
He was also dressed in rags.
Seeing this scene.
Ling Fan's body was instantly enveloped in a chilling killing intent.
The surrounding air seemed to drop to freezing point.
The second aunt panicked and quickly said, "Nephew-in-law, oh, listen to my explanation..."
Lan Tianxiong, unable to get up, heard the second aunt speak and weakly said to Junjie, "Who has your second aunt come with?"
Lan Junjie turned his head abruptly.
The moment he saw Ling Fan.
His whole body trembled, and he gritted his teeth tightly, not allowing his tears to fall.
"Father, it's brother-in-law who's back!"
Lan Tianxiong's pupils trembled violently.
He quickly said, "Quick, quick, tell him to leave, to leave as far as possible, as far as he can go, and don't worry about us anymore! Xiao Fan, are you listening? Hurry and leave! The people from the Wei family of Mo Wu will not let you go. The Snow King Palace has issued an order to kill you, to extinguish Xue Yi's thoughts!"
Lan Tianxiong struggled with his body, agitated.
Ling Fan felt a surge of emotion building in his chest.
He had to let it out!
He suddenly turned his head and looked at the second aunt.
"Is this how you treat your brother? Is this how you treat your sister-in-law? Is this how you treat your nephew! I truly underestimated the bottom line of your Lan Clan..."
Ling Fan's voice suddenly became extremely cold.
The second aunt, sensing something, felt a great panic surge in her heart.
She hurriedly said, "I was wrong! I was wrong! Nephew-in-law, let me off this time, I really won't dare again! I am, after all, Tianxiong's own sister. You can't kill me, you can't kill me!"
