Venerated Venomous Consort

Ye Ling got up and went to the backyard. Compared to the luxurious front yard, the style of the backyard was simple but elegant. The small building in the backyard was made with bricks. Along the pathway, there were green bamboos and a pavilion. There was a faint scent of herbs in the air.

Two maids stood in front of the building. When they saw Ye Ling approaching, they bowed. “City Governor.”

Ye Ling nodded briefly in return. He pushed the door open and went into the building. Inside the building, there were dark purple curtains. Behind the purple curtains, he saw a woman dressed in white sitting on the bed.

“Ah Luo, anything?”

The white-dressed woman looked at him coldly and did not speak.

She had a sort of cold temperament, which was mysterious and scary. Ye Ling did not dare to make a sound. Instead, he tried to smile. “What happened? Are you calling me here just to see me?”

“Shuaaa!” The sleeves of the woman suddenly flew over and hit Ye Ling on the face. It was as if he got a massive slap!

The woman finally said, “Ye Ling, you seem to have forgotten your identity!”

Ye Ling paused, raised his hand, and touched his cheek. “Ah Luo, I definitely remember my identity.” He sounded like a young kid who was speaking to his parents with respect.

“Why did you kill Leng Feng?” Leng Feng was the city’s officer.

Ye Ling sighed. “Leng Feng broke the rules of the city, and I was forced to do so.”

“Liar! I heard that you were trying to impress a woman!”

“There is no other woman in the world except you! Ah Luo, you have wronged me!”

“Humph, you would know better if I had wronged you or not. Don’t try to fool me!”

“Are you jealous?”

“Jealous? Are you qualified for me to be jealous?” The woman spoke softly, but her words here sharp as a knife.

Ye Ling sighed but did not talk. The woman seemed to be somewhat intolerant today. She said coldly, “Ye Ling, don’t forget your identity. The so-called husband and wife status is just a means to an end. You are just a slave in my eyes. All your powers and abilities are given to you by me! If you leave me, you will have nothing!”

“Yes, I understand.” Ye Ling still looked down as he responded.

“You don’t have to pretend to be so good in front of me. Do you think that I don’t know what you have done outside? I just don’t care about these things. As long as you don’t delay my business, I will leave you in peace. However, today, you killed my people just because of a girl? Are you looking for death? Don’t you want to be the city’s owner anymore?”

Ye Ling sighed; he now knew that his own affairs could not be hidden from her. He admitted what he had done. “Ah Luo, I am just playing around; there is no other woman in my heart. Regarding the woman who entered the city today, I am not doing it out of my own lust. She has a strange capability. If we can pull her to be with us, she could be our right-hand man.”

“Uhmm? It is so rare for you to praise people. It seems like the woman’s ability should be outstanding. How good is she as compared to me?”

“She is only level six or seven in terms of spiritual power, so she definitely cannot be compared with you. However, her Qing Gong is very strange; despite being hundreds of feet away, she can somehow travel at the speed of light.”
