Dragon Emperor, Martial God

Ling Yun held Lingyu’s left arm and hid his body behind Ning Lingyu. He bowed his head and pattered into the house, like a kid who made a major mistake in school and knew he was about to be punished.

That was, of course, a front put up by Ling Yun.

He just showcased his manly side to Lin Menghan in the morning and his dominance to Liu Suifeng. Even Qin Dongxue couldn’t stop him.

However, Ling Yun acted like a frightened kid now that there was only Qin Dongxue in the living room. He observed Qin Dongxue’s every movement.

Ling Yun acted like that purely because he wanted to seek compassion.

“Pfft…”

Qin Dongxue giggled, unable to stay mad seeing how Ling Yun walked in timidly behind Ning Lingyu. She laughed for a long time, gasping for breath.

Qin Qiuyue would definitely be able to hold it in, but not Qin Dongxue.

Qin Dongxue regained her composure and put on her serious face.

She was still mad at Ling Yun for keeping something so dangerous from her.

She had to control Ling Yun, if not, he would only get worse.

Qin Dongxue seemed to have forgotten that her words fell on deaf ears twice when she tried to stop Ling Yun from humiliating Liu Suifeng.

“What is a man doing hiding being Lingyu? Sit down!” Qin Dongxue barked in forced sternness that Ling Yun had to obey.

“Aunty, isn’t Big Brother home? Can’t you just…”

Ning Lingyu’s heart thumped heavily, filled with concern for Ling Yun.

No one, not even her aunt, could scold Ling Yun! Ling Yun was her beloved Big Brother!

Ning Lingyu knew Qin Dongxue wouldn’t make things too difficult for Ling Yun, but she couldn’t help herself.

“Lingyu, don’t even try to help him. Get him a glass of water. Hmph. See how I deal with his insolence today!”

Qin Dongxue stopped Ning Lingyu mid-sentence. She didn’t forget to ask Ning Lingyu to get Ling Yun a glass of water. Was she going to lecture him or dote on him?

“Big Brother, you…”

Ning Lingyu pouted her cherry lips and glanced at Ling Yun apprehensively. She was afraid that Ling Yun would go against Qin Dongxue again.

Ning Lingyu saw just how worried Qin Dongxue was about Ling Yun over the past month.

They treated Ning Lingyu well and were her closest relatives. She didn’t want them to have a falling out.

“Lingyu, go on with your stuff. This is my mistake, I should be punished by Aunty. Don’t meddle,” Ling Yun told Ning Lingyu in front of Qin Dongxue with a smile. He sat back onto the sofa at the same time.

He wasn’t afraid. Qin Dongxue wouldn’t be dishing out any severe punishments since she asked him to sit down.

Ning Lingyu calmed down and left them alone.

Qin Dongxue sighed as she looked at the rascal, Ling Yun.

“Hehe, Aunty, you are so powerful. You managed to cultivate to the fourth minor realm of the Stellar Condensation Technique within a few days. You must be a genius!”

Ling Yun wasted time and started to curry favor with Qin Dongxue. Of course, he wasn’t lying.

Her strength had increased many folds. Her skin was even better than before. It was as clear as snow and was silky smooth.

She was now at the door of Xiantian Realm Level Four and could breakthrough a major realm at any time!

“Stop sucking up to me. Let me tell you, this method is useless today!”

She moved to Ling Yun’s side and pinched his ears, trying her hand at parenting.

Qin Dongxue was only twenty-seven years old and had been practicing martial arts for more than twenty years. How could she have relevant experience in parenting?

She had to be hard on Ling Yun.

“Confess! What were you doing out at sea for so long? I’ll tear your ear off if you sprout any falsehoods!” Qin Dongxue warned, feeling full of herself.

Ling Yun could no longer remain calm. He begged for mercy immediately so that the perfect image of him wasn’t tarnished in Ning Lingyu’s heart. “Ah! That hurts! Aunty, please show mercy. I’ll confess!”

Qin Dongxue knew that Ling Yun was faking it. She softened her grasp nonetheless.

Qin Dongxue wasn’t angry with Ling Yun, she was simply worried. Her heart had remnants of fear as she thought back to the days without him.

“Erm… It’s like this…”

There was no need to hide any longer since Bai Xianer had transformed successfully.

He left out only the part on his tribulation since it was too scary. He didn’t want Qin Dongxue nor Ning Lingyu to freak out unnecessarily.

“That was all. Aunty, Lingyu, I know that I’m in the wrong for lying to you about the real purpose of me going out to sea. However, I did that because I didn’t want you to worry about me.”

Ling Yun stopped to take a long sip from the water that Ning Lingyu brought for him after he finished.

“Oh my god. So there really are vixens. There are actually heavenly beasts that can transform into humans by undergoing tribulation. What was written in the books was actually true…”

Ling Yun had the gift of gab. He recounted the story with passion. Qin Dongxue had let go of his ear subconsciously and lapped up every word he said.

Qin Dongxue was amazed, especially when he got to the part where he battled the ninjas alone to protect Bai Xianer. Ling Yun was truly domineering.

“Wow, so the natural disaster that happened on the East Sea was actually Little White undergoing her tribulation?”

Ning Lingyu had seen Little White being held lovingly by Xue Meining. She had never imagined that it could transform into a human!

“Hehe, don’t be alarmed Lingyu. Didn’t Big Brother bring you to the waterspout? I’ve also told you about the possibility of a giant python transforming into a dragon. Did you forget already?”

Ling Yun slapped Lingyu’s round butt in order to comfort her.

“Big Brother… what are you doing! H-how can you hit that spot…”

That got Ning Lingyu’s attention! She trembled and shifted shyly sideways.

Even Qin Dongxue blushed. “Hmph, Aunty may not know much about tribulation, but I do know that it is thunder from the heavens striking you. What would Aunty… and Lingyu do if anything were to happen to you?” Qin Dongxue gave Ling Yun a death glare.

Ling Yun could feel that Qin Dongxue was genuinely worried for him. “Aunty, I know my mistake. I won’t do it again…” Ling Yun apologized wholeheartedly.

“Is there going to be another time?”

“How dare you think about another time! It’s too dangerous!” Qin Dongxue jumped and pinched Ling Yun’s ear again.

“Ah! There will be no more, no more…” Ling Yun quickly acceded.

That was a white lie. There would definitely be a next time. He was just appeasing Qin Dongxue.

“That’s better. Stay at home until your college entrance exams. Everything else has to wait until your exams are over!” Qin Dongxue released her grip, but her eyes were still fixated on Ling Yun’s.

Qin Dongxue grounded Ling Yun without mercy.

“Oh, understood…” Ling Yun accepted his sentence without a word this time.

Ling Yun wasn’t afraid of anything. He agreed only because he knew that Qin Dongxue was really worried about him.

“Why don’t you bring that vixen back home to Aunty and Lingyu since you brought her back to Qingshui?”

Qin Dongxue was really curious about what Bai Xianer looked like.

“Erm, Aunty, her name is Bai Xianer. I’m putting her up somewhere else since I’m afraid both you and Lingyu wouldn’t be able to accept her,” Ling Yun said slowly.

“Won’t be able to accept her? Who do you think Aunty and Lingyu are?” Qin Dongxue frowned.

“Bring Xian Er home these few days…” Qin Dongxue said. Her hand ran through her long black hair, and her lips pulled back to reveal a set of pearly white teeth.
