Huohuo smiled. Her smile was brilliant and adorable, but an eerie coolness covered her eyes.
“Do you know why I asked you politely? Because the one at fault is Jing Jiang. I didn’t want to deal with you, and just wanted you to release him, but… you want to make me your son’s child bride? It will depend on whether your son has the life to enjoy it!”
Huohuo’s features were domineering as she looked down on Family Head Ling with her chin slightly tilted up.
Family Head Ling was startled. This little girl was merely seven or eight, why were her words so unlike other girls of the same age?
“Release him this instant! Otherwise, don’t blame me for being merciless!” Huohuo harshly shouted.
“Hehe.” Family Head Ling recovered his wits and snorted. “I would like to see how a little girl will be merciless to me.”
Bang!
As soon as he finished speaking, a red light flashed past, and Huohuo’s fist heavily landed on his chest. Before he could react, his body suddenly shot through the air and forcefully slammed against a pillar.
“Family Head!” Everyone ran to his side and hastily helped him up from the floor.
Family Head Ling wiped the blood from his mouth. His eyes darkened as he coldly declared, “You darn girl, you dare to hit me?! I will show you! Guards, seize this girl!”
Bang!
In an instant, rage rushed through Huohuo and a bright red flame floated around her, imposing and ostentatious.
The Ling Family guards did not dare to approach and only hid far, far away, using the swords in their hands to threaten her…
“What happened?” A geriatric voice came from behind them. There was a heavy pressure in it, making people’s hearts unconsciously jolt.
Yun Luofeng narrowed her eyes and looked at the elderly man slowly walking out of the main hall. This man wore a loose, long robe. His face was lumpy, giving him an extraordinarily frightening appearance. However… his aura was dreadful, causing Yun Luofeng’s eyebrows to tightly knit together.
After feeling the threat posed by the old man, she shouted, “Huohuo, come back!”
Huohuo was startled and was about to turn around and go to Yun Luofeng’s side when that old man acted.
“You disturbed my conversation with Family Head Ling, yet you want to leave so quick?”
“Huohuo!” Seeing the old man’s hand reaching for Huohuo, Yun Luofeng swiftly charged over. However, it was too late.
The elderly man had already appeared behind Huohuo, a fearsome power emanating from his palm.
Boom!
Just as the old man’s palm was about to make contact with Huohuo, a powerful energy exploded out of the dumbfounded Jing Jiang. This energy was a few degrees more powerful than the old man’s, pushing him back several steps.
“It succeeded?”
Joy entered the heart of Xiao Ru, who was secretly watching, but when she realized the power only burst out of Jing Jiang in order to save Huohuo, displeasure plagued her heart.
But… as long as Jing Jiang could recover his original strength, everything that she did was worth it!
The smile on Xiao Ru’s face grew bigger and bigger until it froze. She rubbed her eyes in disbelief, shock filling her eyes, and even her body started shaking.
How could this be possible? Impossible! Everything she was seeing must be fake!
Inside the courtyard, Jing Jiang was completely stupefied when he saw another figure split from his body.
This man also dressed like a scholar. Compared to Jing Jiang though, this man was gentle and refined with a hint of frost in his features, as though he could control the lives of thousands of people however he wanted.
