"You did very well, decisive and clever," Yu Longting's large hand patted the top of my head as he asked, "Did you find her clothes and appearance familiar?"
"The Forbidden Woman who was controlling the pregnant woman in the alley."
The young girl's dress and voice were extremely similar to the Forbidden Woman who had escaped the alley with the cicada's shedding tactic. "It's also possible that the demon mist in City A was her doing. Now we just have to wait for her to wake up and interrogate her for details."
Yu Longting took out his cell phone and sent a voice message, "You can come over now."
A little while later, someone came knocking on the door.
I didn't give Yu Longting a chance, instead, I ran ahead to open the door for the visitor.
Out of curiosity about the identity of the guest—
When I opened the door, a young man with a handsome face stood there.
The man greeted me, "Hey, Lady of the Snake Lord, are you and the Snake Lord done being affectionate?"
By the voice, it was the person at the door just now.
"..." I was completely stunned.
What does he mean by... done being affectionate...
Could it be what I'm thinking it means?
And with someone I'm not familiar with... is it really okay to be so forthcoming?
The man casually slapped my shoulder, "I didn't expect it, the endurance of the Snake Lord is just this much, it finished so quickly. I thought it wouldn't be less than seven or eight hours..."
"Lin Hang, want to lose your tongue? Get in here," Yu Longting's voice came over with a cold laugh.
"Coming, coming, Snake Lord, I was wrong. In terms of endurance, you must be the world's first."
Lin Hang rolled into the bathroom and upon seeing the person on the ground, he pondered, "Eh? What's this on the floor..."
"The person who fooled the hotel staff last night and harassed your cousin in her room," Yu Longting said. "Do you recognize her?"
"So, she was tied up in the bathroom all night?? Tsk tsk, such a straightforward and brutal way of handling things is characteristic of the people of the Lin family."
Lin Hang clicked his tongue in appreciation a couple of times, then squatted down and lifted the young girl's curly hair, peering through the dense red threads on her face to recognize her, "Isn't this the wild child born by that woman in the attic of the Lin family's main house? Lin Xinmei."
"This girl is also from the Lin family?" While I spoke about Lin Xinmei, I took the chance to size up Lin Hang.
He seemed to have called me cousin just now, but I had no idea who he was.
Lin Hang wore a thin blue suit jacket, paired with a fluorescent yellow T-shirt underneath, and blue slim-fit pants.
He had short curly hair and wore diamond earrings.
A true fashionista.
I felt completely rustic in front of him.
Lin Hang shook his head, "No one knows if she's really from the Lin family. Some say she's the child of Lin Gang and the crazy woman in the attic, others say she's a stray Lin Gang picked up, sent to the attic to be raised by that woman. Ouch..."
Accompanied by Lin Hang's heart-wrenching scream, the web of his hand was fiercely bitten by Lin Xinmei.
Lin Xinmei, who had woken up at some unknown time, her naturally beautiful and hauntingly large eyes filled now with a vengeful killing intent, glared furiously at Lin Hang as she snarled, "Keep your mouth clean, you're the bastard."
"Help, Snake Lord, she's going to bite me to death! You're not a bastard, okay?" Lin Hang's web of hands was streaming with blood, and he broke down and retracted his words on the spot.
Only then did Lin Xinmei slowly relax her teeth, her lips smeared with blood.
Yet she stuck out her tongue and licked it in a way that was indescribably enchanting and sickly sweet.
Lin Hang scrambled away, rolling and crawling.
Blood dripped from the web of his hand all along the way, his cries of pain echoing, "Ouch, it hurts so much, looks like trouble really does start from the mouth. I need to fix this bad habit of calling people bastards unprovoked..."
