Chapter 587 471: Two Cities Taken in Succession (Part 2)

Does he really not like me? Is he not coming tonight?

Since he doesn't like me, am I being too forward…

"Yurou, open the door, it's me."

"Ah…" Upon hearing this, Lien Yurou, like a startled kitten, bounced up from the chair, nervously stuttering, "Wait a moment, I'll, I'll be right there."

"Mr. Lin, please come in."

"Yurou, think carefully, after tonight, you'll be mine. I am quite accommodating in other matters, but when it comes to women, they're mine, and I won't give them a second chance." Lin Miao announced domineeringly as soon as he came in.

The first time he met this girl, her personality was somewhat unlikable, but after spending more time together, he found her quite kind and able to adjust herself promptly.

As the aura around him grew, she not only lowered her proud head but also became insecure, clearly liking him but not daring to speak out. If it weren't for Mr. Lin making things clear, this relationship might not have had any result.

"Mr. Lin, Yurou understands, just hope Mr. Lin won't mind Yurou's humble appearance." Lien Yurou lowered her eyelids, blushed, and dared not meet Lin Miao's gaze, speaking with courage.

"Good, don't call me Mr. Lin anymore, address me as 'Young Master' like Lianxin and Liansuo do." Lin Miao nodded.

Lien Yurou's identity is the same as Lianxin and Liansuo's.

"Yes, Young Master."

"There should have been a ceremony, but I and Senior Sister have not officially married yet, so it's not right to bring you in first. We'll make up for the ceremony later, and what should be given to you won't be lacking, you can rest assured on this." Lin Miao said.

"Alright." Lien Yurou nodded with a shy and timid expression.

"Then let's rest."

"Yurou will assist Young Master in undressing…"

"Good."

Watching Lien Yurou solemnly place a white silk cloth beneath her, he smiled slightly and leaned down.

Being gentle in his favor, Lin Miao naturally exercised restraint and utmost tenderness.

However, Lien Yurou's martial arts cultivation was low, only at the Lower Grade Bone Forging Realm, thus unable to endure much, and less than half an hour later, she fell asleep from exhaustion.

Only after she was completely asleep did Lin Miao get up, dress quietly, and leave. If he didn't feed the little fox waiting for him tonight, it was uncertain what trouble she might cause him later.

...

After finishing their intimate affair, Yue Mei'Er lay bare against Lin Miao's chest, magically pulling out more than a dozen sheets of paper from under the pillow.

"Young Master, these were sent by Miaoxue. After Scorpio and the Profound Armor Guard fell at Xue Family Manor, the movements on the Black Abyss side..."

Lin Miao intended to seize the Black Abyss but found that although Scorpio was its boss, the internal affairs of Black Abyss were quite complex.

The Profound Armor Army was not trained by Scorpio, and Black Abyss had another hidden core figure: Ho Xuan.

The people of Black Abyss referred to him as "Mr. Xuan," this person being Scorpio's strategist, the second-in-command of Black Abyss. After Scorpio disappeared, he directly took over the leadership of Black Abyss and quickly quelled internal dissatisfaction.

Obviously, this Ho Xuan was the true soul core of Black Abyss, making Lin Miao's previous plans fall through.

In fact, his plan was merely to steal a treasure, but after investigation, it turned out not to be feasible. Even with the support of Xiu Manor, he might not be able to take it down, so the plan was temporarily shelved, since he still had Scorpio in his hands.

The secret of Black Abyss needed to be extracted from Scorpio's mind.

Black Abyss had connections with Carefree Palace, being a formidable enemy of Lin Miao's Huichun Valley lineage. How could he not be wary?

The infiltration of Carefree Hall members into Xiu Manor was evident.

Even Baili Bingyun hadn't managed to clear out internal threats completely; truly joining forces to conquer Black Abyss might lead to their home being robbed.

This "Mother-in-law" of his seemed to be waiting for Jing Wushuang to break through and advance to Celestial Essence. The Celestial Essence Fruit he provided was meant for Baili Bingyun to buy over and pull Jing Wushuang into her faction.

Though he was Xiu Manor's son-in-law, he was still an outsider, not supposed to interfere with internal Xiu Manor affairs.

Even if Baili Yuyao were to inherit Xiu Manor in the future, it would be hers, not Lin Miao's. He could assist but not overstep his bounds.

"Young Master, I've reported your desire to seize Black Prison and control Li Hen City to the leader. For years, the Holy Sect has sought to expand northwards, but has been blocked by the likes of Ask Dao Sect and Spirit Sword Sect. Now, we finally have the opportunity."

"This is merely an excuse to bring over some people; it's not a long-term plan. The key is to cultivate our own talents," Lin Miao said. "I have no interest in that position in your Moon Worship Sect. Do you still wish to return?"

"Mei'Er also doesn't want to go back, but we can't let benefits that belong to us be scooped up by others, right?" Although Yue Mei'Er had ambitions, she was unwilling to return to the days where a group of seniors would dictate her actions; the mere thought was uncomfortable.

"In truth, I'm not genuine; I just happened to be able to cultivate your Moon Worship Sect's supreme martial arts." Lin Miao smiled, "I never thought of taking over, but I am interested in the Moon Secret Record and the Moon Pool Secret Realm."

"Young Master, you're quite greedy." Yue Mei'Er laughed coquettishly, her body deliberately writhing.

"Stop teasing, if you can still bear it, I can satisfy you."

Yue Mei'Er, frightened, immediately stopped moving.

She had already eaten to her fill just now; eating more would leave her unable to get out of bed tomorrow. If Lianxin, Si Miaoxue, and others found out, they'd make fun of her.
