Chapter 232: Entering the Dark Path
Chapter 232: Entering the Dark Path
Wu Mei's sudden kick caught Lin Jianying completely off guard.
However, Lin Jianying's goblin didn't flinch. When it saw the eccentric woman attacking its master, it immediately flew into a rage and charged at Wu Mei with its sword drawn.
But before it could reach Wu Mei, a tiger emerged and slapped the goblin away with a single paw.
In the brief moment it took for this to happen, Wu Mei had already grabbed Lin Jianying's summon beast.
Lin Jianying was still in a daze, unable to process what was happening.
The woman who had just been so affectionate with him, like glue and lacquer, had suddenly turned against him without warning.
What shocked Lin Jianying even more was that the tiger that had just pounced on the goblin was the same one that had pursued them the night before.
This scene left Lin Jianying completely bewildered.
And it wasn't just Lin Jianying who was left in a daze.
Wu Yong and Li Jing, who were standing nearby, were also stunned.
They had both followed the plan, so what was going on now? They stepped out of the shadows.
"Xiao Mei, what's happening here?"
When Lin Jianying saw Wu Yong and Li Jing, his face turned deathly pale.
Even if he was foolish, he now realized that something was amiss.
However, he still couldn't bring himself to believe it. He thought that Wu Mei must have had her reasons, and there must be a misunderstanding.
"Sister Wu, is there some misunderstanding?"
"Misunderstanding?"
Wu Mei, holding Lin Jianying's summon beast, walked towards him with a smile, "There's no misunderstanding. Your eyes just now told me that you're determined, determined to go to some godforsaken place and play the role of a rich bridegroom with me."
Lin Jianying was left speechless.
"Yes, that's exactly why!"
As she spoke, Wu Mei stepped forward and placed her foot on Lin Jianying's chest, looking down at the man who had just undergone the transformation from boy to man with her help.
"Do you think I slept with you because I loved you? It was because I had my eyes on your background, hoping to find a rich bridegroom. I thought I could escape my current life."
After sleeping with her, you told me about a governor's son who could provide you with a golden-tier summon beast, but you didn't go back to him.
And now you want to elope with me? Are you kidding? Do you think I would want to live a hard life like this with you?"
The more Wu Mei thought about it, the angrier she became, and she stomped heavily on Lin Jianying's head.
"Xiao Mei, don't do this! We can talk about this."
At this point, Wu Yong was still playing the role of a good uncle, and he immediately tried to pull Wu Mei away.
"What are you talking about? He said that going back would only cause trouble for his friend. This kid is clearly in trouble and can't go back!"
Wu Yong was taken aback and turned to Lin Jianying, "Little Lin, did you get into some kind of trouble?"
At this moment, Lin Jianying's face was ashen, and he trembled all over, unable to utter a word.
Li Jing also approached and spoke softly to Wu Yong, "Old Wu, you're really getting forgetful. Regardless of whether Little Lin has caused any trouble or not, seeing him like this, do you think he and Xiao Mei can still be together?"
Wu Yong nodded in agreement.
"Yes, we can't go back to the past."
As soon as these words were spoken, Wu Yong's facade of kindness was torn away, and he grabbed Lin Jianying by the hair and lifted him up.
"Kid, we were hoping you'd become our son-in-law, but now we can only find a place to bury you."
The intense pain on his scalp and Wu Yong's words, which had shifted from kindness to murderous intent, shattered the illusion they had created over the past few days, making it clear to Lin Jianying that this family truly intended to kill him.
But he still couldn't understand why.
"Why? Even if I've caused trouble and can't go back, you wouldn't go as far as to kill me, would you? I was just with her, with her..."
"You mean you slept with me, right? Many men have slept with me before you, and many will after. Consider it an act of kindness from me to let you enjoy yourself before you die."
Lin Jianying's eyes widened in shock.
At this moment, he couldn't fathom how the woman before him could be the same as the shy, timid, and lovely Sister Wu from before.
And the blows to Lin Jianying didn't end there.
Wu Yong finally decided to tell Lin Jianying the truth.
"Well, since things have come to this, I might as well be honest with you.
The truth is, I was never your father's friend."
Lin Jianying had already guessed as much and wasn't surprised. But what Wu Yong said next completely shattered him.
"In fact, I'm your father's enemy. A few years ago, your father was the one who had me kill him."
"What did you say?" Lin Jianying's eyes turned crimson with rage.
"I said, your father was killed by me. I was the one who took his life."
A few years ago, your parents found a clue to a treasure in the Maw of the Demon. After I learned about it, I sought his advice."
But he refused to tell me, so I had no choice but to find a way to take them down.
And then..."
As Wu Yong spoke, he crushed one of Lin Jianying's fingers.
The excruciating pain caused Lin Jianying's face to pale, but he gritted his teeth and managed to hold back his screams.
"Hmm, you've got backbone, just like your father. He didn't scream either when I broke his bones. In the end, I had no choice but to target your mother."
"Do you want to know what I did to her?"
"I can tell you in great detail!"
At Wu Yong's words, Lin Jianying completely broke down.
A howl of anguish and agony erupted, and his heart began to beat violently.
A power that had been suppressed for a long time burst forth.
Lin Jianying's eyes instantly turned red.
Not only him, but the nearby goblin was also enveloped by a malevolent blood-red glow.
In the 6th month of the 19th year of the reign, the first edition of the book was published without any errors.
"I'll kill you! I swear I'll kill you!"
"Enter the Dark Path?"
Wu Yong's expression changed, and he subconsciously took a few steps back.
"No wonder you said you couldn't go back. You've entered the Dark Path and become a Dark Path Summoner. No wonder you can't go back.
It's a good thing you didn't bring Little Mei back, or we would've been implicated by you."
"Considering this, I'll let you die a quick death."
As he spoke, another leader-rank black tiger pounced forward, joining Li Jing's tiger, easily suppressing Lin Jianying and the goblin.
"Dark Path Summoners are indeed terrifying, but you're just a Professional Summoner. Even entering the Dark Path won't help."
"Kill him, and bury him afterward. Don't let his blood, the blood of a Dark Path Summoner and his summoned beast, touch your mouth."
At Wu Yong's command, the two tigers swatted them with a single paw, directly caving in half of Lin Jianying and the goblin's chests. Blood splattered on the ground, and they appeared to be dead beyond a doubt.
Immediately, Lin Jianying and the goblin were buried.
As for Lin Jianying's dog, it fell into a coma at the moment of its master's death and was taken away by Wu Yong's family.
This was a golden summoned beast, and even with a single contract, it might be impossible to contract again. This dog was also quite valuable.
It should fetch a good price.
The reason Lin Jianying was targeted was not only because he foolishly inquired about his parents' whereabouts at the beginning but also because of this valuable dog.
Initially, Wu Yong and his group didn't plan to use force.
They intended to have Wu Mei get close to Lin Jianying, and even if she couldn't marry him, she could still get some money. This plan was successful, but unfortunately, Lin Jianying was a Dark Path Summoner.
Wu Yong looked at the dog and shook his head.
"Sigh, we've been busy for several days, and all we got was this dog. What a waste of effort."
At that moment, Wu Mei's mouth curled up, "It's not a waste. With this dog, we're good."
"What use is this dog? It won't fetch much money either."
"Who said I wanted to sell it?" Wu Mei rolled her eyes and smirked, "Let's go to Jiangnan."
"Jiangnan?"
Wu Yong and Li Jing's faces changed.
"Are you crazy? Don't you know his close friend is the adopted son of the Governor of Jiangnan?"
"Of course, I know. I'm looking for him."
Wu Mei gently picked up the dog, "I want to give this dog to him as a gift."
At this moment, Wu Yong and his group understood.
"You slept with Lin Jianying, and you want to sleep with his close friend too? Is it Li Wu? If we get him, I won't have to worry for the rest of my life."
"No, your plan is too crazy. Lin Jianying was killed by us..."
"If you don't tell, and I don't tell, who would know? And who would believe that a murderer would deliver themselves to the relatives of their victim?"
Wu Mei smiled cunningly, "Seek fortune in danger. No matter if you're willing or not, I'm definitely going to Jiangnan!"
It was clear that this woman had great confidence in herself.
Perhaps even a bit too much...
...
Alright, I know I fell short, but tomorrow I'll make up for it.
Let's aim for 15,000 words.
Yes, it's done. Now, show me your cross-dressing, or pretend nothing happened.
