Chapter 107: The Ancestor's Belated Rebellion (34)

Ling Qiong refused to go back, no matter what Jiang He said.
In the end, Jiang He couldn’t persuade Ling Qiong and had no choice but to report to the elders and discuss countermeasures.
The black snake coiled on the table, swallowing grape after grape.
Jiang He didn’t know where the grapes had come from, but they were all infused with strong spiritual energy.
The black snake quite enjoyed eating them.
Ling Qiong lay beside it, staring intently.
“What are you staring at me for?” The black snake felt uneasy under her gaze and twisted its body.
Eating two grapes isn’t that stingy, is it?!
Ling Qiong stroked her chin. “Tell me, if you sold your dragon scales, how much money would you make?”
The black snake snapped its tail on the table, scolding angrily, “In your dreams! Lou Xingluo, control your woman. You’re obsessed with money!”
“Cough, cough...” Lou Xingluo choked on his saliva.
He turned to look at the black snake, his tone cold, “What nonsense are you talking about?”
“Hmph, I saw it all,” the black snake said proudly, raising its noble head, “and you still won’t admit it!”
Lou Xingluo was speechless.
Observing Ling Qiong’s expression, he saw her smiling gently, without any anger or other emotions, and a strange feeling welled up in his heart.
Lou Xingluo walked over and threw the black snake out the window. “I’m planning to return to Fankong City tomorrow.”
“Great.”
“You... want to come with me?”
“Of course, wherever you are, I am too!”
“...”
Lou Xingluo hesitated, as if wanting to say something but swallowed it back and just murmured, “Hmm.”
...
Fankong City was even livelier than the last time.
The first thing Ling Qiong did upon entering the city was to indulge in shopping and enjoy the pleasure of it.
“Isn’t that the Young Lord?”
“Seems like it...”
“The Young Lord is back!”
“Does he really have a dragon?”
“Of course! Look at all the people coming to Fankong City recently—they’re all for the Young Lord.”
Lou Xingluo had lived in Fankong City for many years; even if not everyone knew him personally, some had seen him.
So it wasn’t long after Lou Xingluo entered the city before someone recognized him.

“Move aside, move aside!”
The city lord’s guards were pushing the crowd aside to clear a path, and some people rushed into a shop.
“Everyone out!”
The others inside the shop dared not oppose the city lord’s guards and hurriedly left.
Lou Lingyu entered with a dark expression, and when his eyes landed on the man sitting nearby drinking tea, his face turned even uglier.
He had really come back...
“What are they doing!” Lou Lingyu looked at the group standing at the stairs, “Still not leaving?”
Jiang He stood straight and unmoved, not even giving Lou Lingyu a glance.
Lou Lingyu was used to acting arrogantly in Fankong City, with everyone having to follow his orders.
When had anyone ever ignored him like this?
He immediately ordered, “Beat them out!”
“Lou Lingyu.” Lou Xingluo put down his teacup calmly, “If you have something against me, don’t—”
Lou Lingyu snorted coldly and cut him off, “What’s the rush? You’re not running away! What are you standing there for? Should I come over and deal with you myself?”
The guards immediately stepped forward to drive the people away.
Suddenly, footsteps sounded behind the group on the stairs.
Everyone looked up at the same time.
A girl with delicate features in a purple elegant dress slowly descended the stairs.
Her posture was graceful and composed, exuding a noble confidence as if she were a princess from some foreign kingdom.
Lou Lingyu’s pupils shrank slightly as he exclaimed, “...It’s you!”
These two are definitely working together!
“Isn’t this Lou Er Gongzi?” Ling Qiong opened her folding fan and waved it lightly, greeting him like an old friend she hadn’t seen in a long time, “Long time no see.”
Lou Lingyu waved his hand, “Catch her for me!”
The humiliation from last time must be avenged today!
The guards rushed toward the stairs, but Jiang He and his people blocked them.
Amid clashing weapons and flashing blades, Ling Qiong leaned slightly on the railing, watching the fight leisurely.
“...Asking for trouble.” Lou Xingluo shook his head, silently finishing the words he hadn’t said earlier.
Why stir up trouble with her people?
Yuelu Manor had probably sent their best fighters to protect her; ordinary people couldn’t stand a chance.
Lou Lingyu couldn’t understand the good intentions behind Lou Xingluo’s words.
The guards Lou Lingyu brought were no match for Jiang He’s group.
“What are you doing? Can’t handle just a few people! What’s the use of having you?”
Lou Lingyu shouted furiously from behind.
“You all go! Go!”
Lou Lingyu didn’t believe that with so many people, they couldn’t catch one person.
The truth proved otherwise.
Lou Lingyu watched his men fall one by one, groaning on the ground, while the young girl stood calmly above, looking down at the scene with disdain.
“Young... Young Lord, those people are very strong, we can’t beat them.”
Lou Lingyu: “...”
Can’t you see that? Stop complaining!
Lou Lingyu was embarrassed and wanted to act tough, but seeing his men’s cowardly state, he lost his confidence.
Who is this woman...

Where would Lou Xingluo have met her?
Lou Lingyu looked toward Lou Xingluo, who was calmly sipping tea as if oblivious to him.
Lou Lingyu: “...”
After some inner struggle, Lou Lingyu retreated outside the shop. “Go get more people, quickly!”
Before leaving, he still didn’t forget to threaten, “Just wait and see!”
This was Fankong City—so long as they were here, no one could escape.
“Little ancestor, if you want...” Jiang He made a throat-slitting gesture, exuding villainous flair.
Ling Qiong went downstairs and naturally took the teacup from Lou Xingluo’s hand. “All this fighting and killing, what’s the point?”
Lou Xingluo wanted to stop her, “I...”
Ling Qiong took a sip and asked, “What is it?”
Lou Xingluo swallowed the words he wanted to say awkwardly and looked away, “Nothing.”
...
Lou Lingyu went to gather reinforcements but ended up bringing the city lord himself.
At that moment, Lou Xingluo was being ordered around by Ling Qiong, helping her tie the strings of her outer robe.
Lou Xingluo wasn’t skilled with such complicated knots and failed several times.
Jiang He wanted to help a few times but was glared at by Ling Qiong.
Jiang He: “...”
The pretty boy must have cast some spell on the little ancestor...
The little ancestor mustn’t become a foolish ruler!
Just then, the city lord entered with his entourage.
Lou Lingyu followed behind the city lord like a peacock who had found a patron, strutting proudly with a smug face.
“Father, it’s that woman,” Lou Lingyu pointed at Ling Qiong as he entered.
She was the one who had kidnapped him and cost him so much money.
And now she dared to return with Lou Xingluo!
Someone by the city lord’s side immediately reported, “City Lord, it is Yue Luozhu.”
Before the city lord could react, Lou Lingyu exclaimed in surprise, “Who did you say she was?”
“Yue Luozhu,” the subordinate repeated.
Lou Lingyu: “...”
Yue Luozhu?
The demon who broke free from the seal not long ago?
—— End of segment ——
Lou Lingyu: Do I even have a chance?
Lou Lingyu: Wait, why is it always me?!!
