Chapter 1753: Chapter 1731: Feng Ling and Shengge's Past life (Three)_1 Chapter 1753: Chapter 1731: Feng Ling and Shengge's Past life (Three)_1 “Dad.”
A shudder runs through Shengge's heart, she pulls on his sleeve, subtly signaling him with her eyes.
“Quiet down, you need to act like you've never seen him before, otherwise how will we continue the performance?”
“Hehe, my bad, dad. Thankfully he's far away; he can't hear us.”
“Don't mess this up later, if he sees through our play, all our efforts would have been in vain.”
“Hehe, Shengge, you are cunning indeed. You fed him with rabbit's blood, pretending it was your own. What a brilliant diversion, deceiving in every way.”
“OK, dad, keep your smirk tucked in. Coming up next is the main act – it is up to you whether he stays or not.”
“No problem, leave it to me.”
The father and daughter whisper to each other at the cave entrance, believing that no one can hear them. Unbeknownst to them, Feng Ling, with his acute senses, heard every word.
Rabbit's blood!
His lips twitch, not due to deception but rather relief.
Fortunately, it was not human blood.
Otherwise, he would indeed feel guilty and restless.

“Hahaha, good that you're awake. A life saved is worth more than building seven-level pagodas. Girl, you've earned some good karma this time. Once he recovers, let him repay you.”
After their plan was settled, the foster father walked into the cave with a prepared script, joyfully beaming.
Repay, huh!
Feng Ling's gaze flickers, and he understands.
It is undeniable that the young girl saved him. It's only right for him to show his gratitude, morally and emotionally.
He just wonders, why are they putting on this act?
“Boy, you're lucky to have met my daughter.”
The foster father strides into the cave, reaching Feng Ling before his laughter abruptly stops.
“You, you, you.”
Three 'you's reveal his shock.
With an expression of fury and bulging eyes, his acting was indeed convincing.
“You shameless wretch, my daughter saved your life, and you dared take advantage of her youth and innocence, acting indecently towards her.”
“Cough cough.”
Feng Ling, thinking about how he should repay them, nearly choked on his own blood upon hearing these words.
“Unacceptable, I'm furious. I'm going to kill you.”
The foster father, now in character, pretends to have a heart attack from anger, pulls a dagger from his boot, and pretends about to stab Feng Ling.
“Dad, don't!”
Right on cue, Shengge rushes over, drapes herself over Feng Ling, blocking the sharp tip of the dagger with her back.
“Shengge, move aside.”
The foster father, holding the dagger ablaze with fury, “He tarnished your innocence; if I don't kill him, I won't be able to face your real parents.”
“No, I won't let you.”
Shengge's eyes reveal her determination, “If you want to kill him, kill me first.”
“Shengge.”
The foster father seems horrified, his knife-holding arm begins to tremble slightly.
Feng Ling feels a bead of cold sweat run down the back of his head.
The acting skills of this father-daughter duo are a little too convincing.
If he had not overheard their conversation earlier, it would indeed be hard to tell whether they were telling the truth.
“Dad, I beg you; don't hurt him.”
Shengge, now in tears, looks sincere, “I, your daughter, am not a naive child. I had resolved to save him; in this life, I won't marry anyone else but him…”
“Blurgh.”
Feng Ling pushes her away suddenly, sits up, and spouts out a mouthful of stagnated blood.
“Cough cough.”
He thumps his chest, takes a few deep breaths.
Having ejected the stagnated blood which was blocking his heart, he now feels much relieved.
“Dad, he is throwing up blood!”
Shengge, oblivious to the truth, is genuinely anxious now, fearing he might die and their plan to avenge her parents would be doomed.
She rushes over, ignoring everything else, and embraces Feng Ling. Her anxiety and concern are clearly evident in her eyes.
