A second chance with my billionaire husband

Chapter 1902 - 453: Caught Off Guard, The Most Critical Point

"To put it bluntly, this Xing Clan person and your ancestors are mortal enemies. Their sole purpose is to kill every last descendant of the Bai Family, using the blood of Bai Family descendants to commemorate their dead."

Yan Song looked coldly at the white-robed man before him, "So, my family and I are all in danger?"

"I love talking to smart people." Helian Zisheng smiled brightly.

"I understand, you can go now." Yan Song turned his back, leaving Helian Zisheng with nothing but a tall, cold silhouette.

Helian Zisheng: ...!

Alright, since the other party has the advantage, avoiding conflict might be the best option.

Helian Zisheng sauntered out the door, only to see half a sneaky head emerging from behind a rock not far away. With a display of light-footed martial arts, he circled behind and grabbed the girl’s ponytail, laughing, "Did you enjoy the show?"

"Ouch, my hair, it hurts..." Lin Shishi shrieked, flailing around.

"Great Master, I really didn’t mean to peek, please forgive me..." Lin Shishi said flattering words, but her heart was full of thoughts of that man. Damn, he was so handsome. As a face-fanatic, she really couldn’t stay calm.

"Do you know how we handle outsiders who trespass into the Helian Family?" Helian Zisheng asked with a smiling face, appearing friendly, yet Lin Shishi involuntarily shivered...

"How do you handle them?"

"There is a valley behind the mountain called Valley of the Evil Wolves, which has over a dozen evil wolves and some rare poisonous snakes and insects. We throw those people into the bottom of the valley, where the wolves tear them apart until not even a bone is left. Isn’t it fun?"

Fun?

Just the thought of it made Lin Shishi so scared she almost wet herself, her knees buckling, "Great... Great Master, spare my life, I will work like a horse for you without complaint...."

"Too late." Helian Zisheng picked her up by the collar and flew towards the back mountain, Lin Shishi’s screams echoed throughout the land.

The Valley of the Evil Wolves lived up to its name. At the bottom of the dozen-meter-deep valley, several wolves were prowling, muscular and fierce-fanged, while snakes coiled in the branches and skeletons scattered the ground. The howling of the wild wolves echoed through the valley.

"Little Gray, do you like the prey I brought you?" As he spoke, he lifted Lin Shishi into the air.

A gray wolf looked up, letting out a howl, as if in response.

"Ahhhhh..." The fierce mountain wind blew, causing Lin Shishi’s screams to waver, adding to the terrifying atmosphere.

"Great Master, spare me...."

A dozen wolves howled in unison, echoing in the valley, which was truly shocking. Lin Shishi was scared out of her wits.

"I’ll give you a task. If you complete it well, I may reluctantly spare your life, otherwise...."

"I agree, I agree, even if I have to go through fire and water for you, Great Master, I will do it...."

Helian Zisheng’s lips curled into a smile as he tossed Lin Shishi to the ground.

Lin Shishi finally felt alive, clutching her chest and gasping for breath. In her view was the man’s snow-white robe flapping gracefully in the mountain breeze, unstained by a speck of dust.

Yan Song took only half a day to comprehend the Internal Breath Mystical Method in the book. Sitting in meditation and adjusting his breath, he could now freely control the power flowing within him. In the future, practicing this daily would yield twice the results with half the effort.

Opening his eyes, his gaze was deeper and darker, impenetrable.

As he looked at the short sword in his hand, his expression gradually became profound, his fingers caressing the blade inch by inch.

Just then, the door was suddenly knocked from outside, and Yan Song tucked the Juque Sword into his robe, saying in a deep voice, "Come in."

A young girl pushed open the door, carrying a tea tray, and walked in humbly and respectfully.

"Please have some tea."

With that, she poured a cup of tea and respectfully handed it to him.

Lin Shishi’s heart was pounding almost out of her throat. The overpowering aura emanating from him made her too scared to even breathe heavily.

She felt his gaze linger on her, and for that moment, her heart almost stopped.

"Put it down, leave."

The cold, commanding voice was severe and ruthless, exuding a terrifying calm.

Lin Shishi put down the teacup, turned, and was about to leave.

"Stop."

Lin Shishi halted immediately.

"What time is it now?"

Lin Shishi was taken aback for a moment, then quickly replied, "Three in the afternoon...."

"The date."

"The eighth of June...."

The eighth of June... Somehow, so much time had passed already.

In the mountain, time flies by easily, unbeknownst to the world outside.

Yan Song closed his eyes, clenching his fists tightly beneath his sleeves.

He had no idea how Yun Ya was now; he couldn’t wait here any longer.

Without hearing a reply, Lin Shishi sneaked a glance, only to see the man with closed eyes, a slightly pained expression on his face. She didn’t delve into the implications of his pain but was instead struck by the breathtaking beauty of his accentuated features.
