Chapter 62: Li Yan Tao

  The Ling family mansion was filled with whispers.

  "Uncle, this is Wang Shi, who has saved my brother and me twice." Ling Ye stood beside the old man and said briefly.

  "Oh? You're saying that Lihaiya actually launched a night raid on you?" The old man was furious, was this really an attempt to wipe them out completely?

  Then he looked at Wang Shi, with some gratitude: "The benefactor of the Ling family, I am grateful to you, it's a joke, this big Ling family only has young master and young lady left, but you, Wang Shi, have preserved the incense of the Ling family." The old man sighed.

  "Just call me Wang Shi."

  Everyone's eyes were focused on this frail child.

  "This kid seems quite extraordinary, pretty good."

  "The Ling family's incense has been preserved, but the Li family is truly vicious."

  "This child is humble and seems to be from a big family, I wonder if our young lady has taken a liking to him?"

  "You're talking nonsense, but it's a hundred times better than marrying that cruel Yan Tao."

  ………..

  A faint whispering sound, this made Ling Yu Xue's cheeks rise with two red clouds, at a loss for what to do.

  "Wang Shi, this is my uncle Su He, who possesses the strength of the 8th layer of the Wilderness." Ling Ye introduced.

  Wang Shi nodded and bowed slightly. The old man was dressed in gray, with a three-foot-long white beard, hunched back, calm expression, and an air of dignity and respectability.

  "Seeing your pale face, you must be seriously injured and not fully recovered. This is half a bottle of pure spiritual liquid, consider it as payment for protecting the young master and miss." Su He took out a small jade bottle, with a color like emerald inside.

  "Thank you, senior." Wang Shi accepted it without hesitation.

  Su He nodded and instructed Ling Yu Xi: "Yu Xi, arrange a place for Wang Shi to stay."

  "Mm." Ling Yu Xi nodded.

  ………

  The Ling family mansion is small, but it also has several hundred acres of land. The layout is very delicate, with various arrangements that are meticulous and not a single thread out of place. The fake mountains are lifelike, the bridges flow with water, and the houses are arranged in an orderly manner. It gives people a sense of quiet and peaceful countryside.

  "There are many empty houses in the mansion, it's very quiet and no one will disturb you, and it's not far from the main hall either." Ling Yu Xi walked lightly, passing through a few patches of grass and shrubs, and soon came to a simple house.

  "This house was just swept recently, you can live here." Ling Yu Xi gently opened the door of the house, and it was very clean inside, without a speck of dust.

  Wang Shi nodded and smiled: "Thank you, Yuxi sister."

  "Xue sister? I'm only seventeen too." Ling Yu Xi's eyebrows furrowed slightly, clearly somewhat dissatisfied.

  Wang Shi couldn't help but smile wryly and scratch his head in embarrassment.

  "If nothing else, I'll take my leave first." Ling Yu Xi said softly, then fluttered away like a butterfly.

  Wang Shi also felt quite helpless.

  …….

  Another day has passed.

  Splash

  Not far away, the sound of running water was heard. Wang Shi sat cross-legged in the house, his upper body completely red, with thick and sturdy meridians slowly squirming about. A stream of energy slowly spread out from Wang Shi's body.

  After a long time, Wang Shi finally opened his eyes and spat out a mouthful of turbid air.

  "It's indeed a pure spiritual liquid, my physical body has recovered to the eighth layer, and my spiritual power has reached its peak!" Wang Shi felt that every cell in his body was filled with energy, which he couldn't exhaust.

  He has finally recovered!

  Wang Shi's eyes sparkled, and a sense of confidence emanated from him!

  "Is it the Seventh Layer after all?!" Wang Shi felt that his strength had improved again, and if he gave him another half bottle of pure spiritual liquid, perhaps he could break through to the Eighth Layer!

  "The last few injuries to his body can only be cured by resting." Wang Shi stood up, stretched his waist, and fully extended his body, no longer feeling any discomfort. This time he used five days to recover, and also used a lot of spiritual liquid, otherwise it would have taken him a long time to regain his strength.

  "Heh heh, I can finally go out and take a stroll, Qingcheng City!" Wang Shi said with a smile, feeling quite pleased.

  ……….

  "Prince Wang, something's wrong!" A worried voice suddenly came from outside.

  "What's wrong with Lian Yi?" Wang Shi had met a few people that day, and this Lian Yi was Ling Yu Xi's maid, who looked like she was only 15 or 16 years old. Every day, three meals a day, Ling Yu Xi would bring Lian Yi here to deliver food.

  At this moment, hearing Lian Yi's anxious voice, he couldn't help but frown slightly.

  "That Li Yan Tao is here to force the marriage again! The young master, miss and uncle are all trapped in the hall." Lian Yi wore a ponytail and servant clothes, her expression urgent and worried.

  "What's wrong?" Wang Shi's expression turned solemn.

  He had also heard of this person, who was greedy and lustful, and the number of women he had ravaged was countless. Relying on the Li family's capital, he did as he pleased in Qingcang City. However, his strength was actually formidable, with exceptional innate talent, and he even possessed the power to open up the 9th layer of the Wilderness Realm! He could rank third on the Li family's ranking list!

  "Let's go, we're going to the main hall!" Wang Shi said in a cold voice.

  "How can this be good? That Lian Yu is too formidable, one palm and Uncle Da was seriously injured!" Lian Yi was very worried.

  "Hmph, what's so special about opening up the ninth layer?!" Wang Shi sneered inwardly.

  …….

  Ling Family Hall

  A group of people surrounded her, led by a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man, wearing brocade clothes, with short hair like thorns, his eyes staring at Ling Yu Xi without any scruples, the corners of his mouth raised in an evil smile.

  "You're just a weak old man. If it weren't for Yu Xi's sake, I would have killed you long ago!" Li Yan Tao sneered.

  Su He sat on one side, his face pale and heavily injured. Just a palm strike had hurt him so badly! The 9th layer of the Wilderness Realm was too powerful.

  "Uncle, are you okay? You damn Lian Yanta!" Ling Ye's anger reached the sky, but he was no match for him in terms of talent or strength. Charging forward would only get him beaten up. A sense of powerlessness arose.

  "Li Yan Tao! You said you wouldn't touch anyone from the Ling family!" Ling Yu Xi looked at Li Yan Tao with great disgust.

  "Hmph, little girl, don't think you're so important. You're just my plaything, and once I'm tired of playing with you, I'll throw you away!" Li Yan Tao bellowed, his eyes burning with lust.

  Ling Yu Xi's whole body trembled with rage, her teeth clenched tightly.

  "Hmph, how is it? Marrying into the Lai family would ensure the continuation of the Ling family line, but if you don't marry, then it will be extinguished! And you can't escape either!" Lai Yan Tao said with a bright and upright tone, unintentionally licking his lips as he stared at Ling Yu Xue like prey.

  "I...". Ling Yu Xi was in a dilemma. This choice had no choice, either way her chastity would be lost, but the former could keep the Ling family safe, how to choose?

  "Yu Xi, don't agree to it! Before my brother dies, I will definitely kill you and won't let you be trampled by this beast. How can our Ling family be afraid of death!" Ling Ye roared in anger, fearing that Yu Xi would agree.

  "Looking for death!" Lian Yantao's eyes turned cold, and he slapped Ling Ye with a palm filled with extremely strong spiritual power.

  "Brother!" Ling Yu Xi exclaimed.

  But in that crash, a cold hum rose.

  "The ninth layer of the Desolate Boundary is nothing more than this!"
