Chapter 469
"Your father? His name is Mo Mo Yixi, nicknamed the Wine Sword Immortal."
At this moment, the waiter brought the food and wine. Lin Fan ate while talking to Huang Anu.
"My father is Mo Mo Yixi, nicknamed the Wine Sword Immortal. What a dashing nickname! Then why does Mother Mother Nanman never mention him? Did he abandon Mother Mother Nanman, so she got angry?"
Huang Anu muttered the nickname "Wine Sword Immortal," feeling it was truly domineering, but thinking about how Mother Mother Nanman never mentioned her father’s name to her, she curiously pursued the question.
"Because you are the daughter of the Saintess and the Wine Sword Immortal. The Saintess likes the Wine Sword Immortal, and the Wine Sword Immortal likes Zhao Linger’s mother, Qing'er. The relationship is a bit complicated."
"What? I am the daughter of Master Saintess?!?"
"Brother Lin Fan, the Wine Sword Immortal likes my mother?"
Huang Anu was dumbfounded, and even Zhao Zhao Linger asked with some surprise.
"Your mother, Qing'er, was peerless in her beauty back then. The Sword Saint, the Wine Sword Immortal, and the Witch King all liked her. The Sword Saint left without saying goodbye on the wedding day to attain the Dao, the Wine Sword Immortal loved her but couldn't have her, and Qing'er married the Witch King for the sake of great love, to facilitate her duty as a descendant of Nuwa to protect the earth."
Lin Fan sighed. Even if Qing'er had chosen the Wine Sword Immortal back then, the ending would have been better than following the Witch King. That emperor was truly cowardly, yet she chose the useless Witch King. Perhaps this is fate.
"Then my Master Saintess, oh no, my Mother Saintess, isn't she very pitiful? She is too unworthy!"
Huang Anu reacted and said with some dissatisfaction.
"Love is not about worthiness, only willingness. The Saintess loved the Wine Sword Immortal but couldn't have him, and the Wine Sword Immortal similarly loved Qing'er but couldn't have her. The difference is that Qing'er always kept her distance from the Wine Sword Immortal, while the Saintess at least had a night of passion with him, giving birth to you, Huang Anu!"
Lin Fan said, picking up a chicken leg for Huang Anu. Her careless temperament must have been inherited from the Wine Sword Immortal.
"Thank you, Prince Consort!"
Huang Anu immediately started eating heartily. The matter of the Wine Sword Immortal didn't seem to affect her appetite.
"Zhao Linger, Yueru, eat up!"
Lin Fan picked up a chicken leg for Zhao Zhao Linger and then gave the two chicken wings to Lin Yueru. Only then did Lin Yueru lower her head to eat with satisfaction.
"Benefactor, this is the Hundred-Flower Honey that Caiyi collected from a hundred flowers. Have a taste!"
Caiyi said, taking a porcelain bottle from her bosom and handing it to Lin Fan.
"Just call me Young Master from now on, no need to call me Benefactor!"
Lin Fan took the porcelain bottle and reminded her casually, then poured a little honey to taste. He found the taste was indeed very good; it fused the fragrance of various flowers, but the sweet taste was perfectly blended together without any conflict. It seemed Caiyi really had a knack for it.
He then picked up the wine cup and poured a little for the other women to taste, and they all praised it repeatedly.
"Let’s go!"
After eating and drinking their fill, Lin Fan took the women on the road again, only to be stopped by soldiers at the city gate.
"Stop! The notice has already said that no one is allowed to leave Yangzhou City until the female thief is caught. Besides, you have so many women following you; maybe one of them is the female thief. Let them come with me to the room next door for a thorough body search!"
The leader guarding the gate not only stopped Lin Fan but also had the audacity to have designs on Lin Fan’s women. The soldiers behind him laughed loudly, looking like a bunch of ruffians.
Lin Fan didn't speak, but a cold glint flashed in his eyes. Then, a majestic sword qi appeared in the air, directly cutting the insolent leader and the gloating soldiers behind him into two halves.
Although their bodies were cut open, they hadn't died yet and even had clear consciousness, but they were unable to save themselves. They could only watch their upper and lower bodies separate and painfully depart from the world after their blood ran dry.
"Go!"
After that, Lin Fan didn't even look at the soldiers groaning in pain on the ground and took the women away from Yangzhou City.
After they left, the surrounding people dared to surround the soldiers who had been cut in half and point at them. The people had suffered long enough under these ruffians, and seeing this scene, they not only weren't afraid but felt it was very satisfying.
"Bad Guy, was that the legendary cruel punishment of waist-chopping?"
"Correct. Daring to have designs on my women, waist-chopping is already being lenient to them. I was too lazy to argue with them, otherwise, I would have pulled out their souls and tortured them slowly."
"Hmm? Toad demon?"
"Wow, what a cute little toad!"
Suddenly, a yellow toad demon appeared in front. Lin Yueru was so scared she hid behind Lin Fan, and Zhao Zhao Linger couldn't help but move two steps closer to Lin Fan. Only Huang Anu happily leaned over.
"Don't think about running!"
Seeing this, the toad demon immediately turned and ran, but was trapped by Huang Anu’s spell.
"Let me go, let me go!"
The toad demon was trapped in a light barrier by Huang Anu’s spell and shouted anxiously.
"Hey, you can talk?"
Huang Anu looked at the toad demon with some surprise and then lifted the light barrier.
"Of course, I’m already four years old, of course I can talk!"
Huang Anu and the toad demon started chatting, and Lin Yueru also quietly poked her head out from behind Lin Fan.
"Bad Guy, this toad demon is so big at only four years old. Wouldn't its mother be bigger than a mountain?"
Lin Yueru leaned into Lin Fan’s ear and asked quietly.
"Its mother is a woman, how big could she be?"
Lin Fan looked at Lin Yueru playfully. A toad demon bigger than a mountain? She really dared to think. Such a large size would have been discovered long ago and then slain by demon hunters.
"I of course know its mother is a wo... woman?"
"Yes, a woman named Wu Meiniang!"
"Humans and demons are all born of mothers. The difference is that humans are born of human mothers, and demons are born of demon mothers. But what kind of thing is this toad demon? Could it be a human-demon?"
Hearing that the toad demon’s mother was actually a human, Lin Yueru was shocked and couldn't close her mouth. How could a human give birth to such a big toad?
"If you put it that way, strictly speaking, it can indeed be considered a human-demon."
Lin Fan smiled upon hearing this. Actually, he didn't understand how this toad demon came to be. Logically speaking, Wu Meiniang’s son had already died. Could it be that she extracted her son’s soul and put it into the body of a golden toad?
"Huang Anu, let’s go!"
Lin Fan called Huang Anu back and prepared to leave with the women. As for Wu Meiniang’s business, let her solve it with Liu Chen Shimei herself.
In the original story, because of Li Li Xiaoyao’s intervention, Wu Meiniang died at the hands of Liu Chen Shimei. Now that Lin Fan wasn't intervening, he didn't know if Wu Meiniang would have the heart to take action against Liu Chen Shimei.
These women with "love brains" are actually quite scary. In order to avenge his parents, Liu Chen Shimei coaxed Wu Meiniang to practice the Golden Toad Secret Manual. Although Wu Meiniang helped him get revenge, half of her face was ruined, so Liu Chen Shimei soon had a change of heart and ruthlessly abandoned Wu Meiniang.
Wu Meiniang therefore felt that all men in the world were heartless and deserved to die, and from then on, she became a cold-blooded killer.
Lin Fan himself didn't oppose Wu Meiniang’s revenge, but if you want revenge, go find the culprit. Why implicate a bunch of people, and in the end, still want to return to the culprit’s side? You deserve to die.
