Yang Feilong arrived in the courtyard and saw Tang Ya eating melon in the pavilion. Yang Feilong walked over, picked up a piece of watermelon, and asked while eating, "Where did you get the watermelon from?"
"I had a servant send it over while you two were being intimate in the house," Tang Ya replied with a smile, then asked, "How was the demoness's taste, husband?"
"Don't even mention it," Yang Feilong said with a hint of helplessness.
"That's not right. Alice is clearly interested in you. With your skills, husband, how could she resist?" Tang Ya asked, surprised.
"Well, there was a slight accident," Yang Feilong said, looking somewhat embarrassed. "You don't need to ask about the specifics."
If Yang Feilong hadn't said that, Tang Ya might not have pressed further. But his admission only piqued her curiosity. She stopped eating her melon, wrapped her arms around Yang Feilong's, and pouted, "Husband, tell me! We shouldn't be so formal with each other. Besides, if you have any problems, I can help you brainstorm. After all, women understand women best."
After Tang Ya pleaded with him for a long time, Yang Feilong relented. "Alright, alright, I can't do anything about you."
"Hehe, tell me, husband," Tang Ya's eyes lit up as Yang Feilong finally agreed. She picked up a piece of watermelon and ate it while striking an attentive pose.
This made Yang Feilong quite speechless. She was actually treating his embarrassing moments as entertainment!
However, he had already said it and couldn't go back on his word. Besides, they knew each other inside and out, and Tang Ya had been through a lot with him before. This wasn't a big deal.
He sighed and looked up at the sky at a seventy-two-degree angle. "My bullet was chambered, aimed at the target, and I was about to fire when Alice performed a vanishing act. The person was gone, and a bird appeared..."
"Pfft!!!" Tang Ya, who had just taken a bite of watermelon, burst into laughter. "Hahaha..."
Watching Tang Ya laugh as if she had gone mad, Yang Feilong felt dejected. He knew this would happen. She would surely die laughing at such an embarrassing story!
He ignored her.
Tang Ya laughed so hard that tears almost streamed down her face. She finally managed to hold back, but just as she was about to comfort her husband, she started laughing again.
"Oh, I can't, I can't, this is killing me with laughter." Tang Ya clutched her stomach, and it took her a long time to compose herself enough to speak without giggling.
"Oh, my poor husband, you weren't too scared, were you? Let me see. Hmm, it's okay, it's okay." Tang Ya said, patting him through his pants, and then smiled in relief.
Yang Feilong: "..."
This woman was truly becoming more and more brazen in front of him.
"Husband, do you need me to come to the room and comfort it?" Tang Ya asked with a playful grin.
Yang Feilong rolled his eyes.
The next moment, his gaze involuntarily shifted towards the courtyard gate. "As expected, a fight has broken out... her temper is still the same!"
"It seems to be a one-sided beating!" Tang Ya also looked outside and handed Yang Feilong a piece of melon. "Here, eat some melon and watch the show."
Yang Feilong: "......"
His woman was beating someone up, and he was supposed to be here watching the show? Was that appropriate?
He didn't take the melon Tang Ya offered and got up to walk outside.
"Hey, you're going to get involved too! Alice's cultivation is much stronger than that trash, and she's a saintess. It's more appropriate for you to just watch," Tang Ya said, also getting up with a helpless expression.
"This matter ultimately started because of me. How can I sit here and watch with a clear conscience?" Yang Feilong replied without looking back.
The beating outside the gate had reached its peak.
...
Time rewound.
After being beaten by his parents, Zelian returned to his residence. His injuries looked horrifying, but they were merely superficial. He would recover in three to five days even without medicinal pills. However, his physical wounds were far less severe than his emotional ones. He grew angrier the more he thought about it, tossing and turning on his bed in frustration.
"That Yang Feilong is a sinister and cunning human. Alice is quite naive; she will definitely not be his match and will be completely fooled by him!" Zelian thought, wishing he could rush to the human's side and kill him immediately.
But he didn't dare. That guy's medical skills were genuinely impressive, and even the clan leader relied on him for his life.
If he dared to kill Yang Feilong, he wouldn't need the clan leader's decree; his own parents would likely beat him to death!
However, he couldn't kill Yang Feilong. But he couldn't just stand by and watch the woman he loved fall into that human's embrace, could he? Previously, he believed Alice would never be interested in that human. But the concern and tenderness she showed when she helped Yang Feilong walk were something he had never seen before.
He was afraid!
He was truly afraid of losing Alice.
She was his childhood sweetheart, his "white moonlight." He couldn't bear to see her fall into the arms of that lowly human.
Therefore, he made up his mind to use his deductions and analysis to persuade Alice with all his might, to make her see Yang Feilong for who he truly was!
Following that, he tidied his attire to look more presentable and then left his residence.
Upon coming out, he casually asked a servant for directions and learned that Alice had lunch with Yang Feilong. This sent his emotions into a tailspin. He had never even had a meal with Alice before.
More importantly, he found out that after Alice had lunch with the human, she hadn't come out. However, the human woman who was with Yang Feilong had ordered melon and was eating it in the courtyard.
Hearing this, how could he stand it? What were they doing alone together in the house? Did they need to send that other woman away?
The more he thought about it, the more anxious he became. Yet, he kept reminding himself that it was impossible. Alice was a woman of noble blood; she wouldn't be interested in that human ant. She wouldn't.
He practically flew to the door of Yang Feilong's residence. He had initially intended to barge in, but he held back. Firstly, every residence had formation restrictions. If they were broken, everyone in the valley would know, and he might even be punished.
And if he caused too much trouble, he genuinely feared that Alice would decisively cut ties with him, or even abandon all pretense.
"Alice, I know you're in there. Can you come out and talk to me?" Zelian called out loudly, suppressing his emotions.
Truly, he was making a great effort to control his emotions. He even thought that even if they had engaged in some intimate act, he could accept it.
He wanted her to know that he loved her. He didn't care if she had been deceived; he just wanted to protect her and prevent her from being wronged.
But there was no response from inside the house.
He waited, but every second felt like an eternity.
"Alice, if you don't come out soon, I'm going to force my way in!" Zelian roared, his eyes red, his voice trembling. He was on the verge of losing control, as his mind was already conjuring images of them doing something "shameful."
In fact, earlier, he still held out some hope. Perhaps the three of them were just chatting. But then he saw a figure eating melon in the courtyard pavilion. Wasn't that the human woman?
She was in the courtyard, meaning Yang Feilong and Alice were alone in the house.
