Chapter 388 A Male Beauty Who Brings Disaster (Part 2)

"Scared?"

Li Kan chuckled softly, taking in Mo Tingfeng's panicked and flustered state.

"Mo Tingfeng, the Lord of the Dream Realm, I never expected it to be you. As for this other one—I just heard Lord Sichen call him Gu Cangyue, could he be that newly promoted God Lord? Hehe, although I am now only a wisp of remnant soul, your names are still well-known."

"Unfortunately—I don't care."

Li Kan's lips curled into a mocking smile.
"Lord Sichen, you must know very well that you cannot kill me in a short time."

"On the contrary, before you torture me to the point of turning me into a chaotic soul, I have plenty of time and opportunities to kill Song Weichen—for example, right now."

"And because of this bond of marriage, even if she dies, until I eliminate her, whether willingly or unwillingly, she can only be a miserable couple with me."

"At that time, as fellow ghosts, she will feel the same torment you inflicted upon me. Heh, Lord Sichen, in that case... will you still lay a hand on me?"

……

Mo Tingfeng was speechless for a moment.

Li Kan's words struck at his weak points, indicating that his previous words had not intimidated him. However, judging from Li Kan's appearance, he did not seem to truly want Song Weichen's life. What did he really want? After a moment's thought, Mo Tingfeng softened his stance and tried to negotiate.

“Your Highness, Weiwei’s magical power is weak and she is of little use to you. Why not release her? As for your unfulfilled wish, I, Mo, keep my word and will help you achieve it.”

"An unfulfilled wish? Hahahaha!"

Li Kan seemed to have heard some incredible joke and couldn't help but burst into laughter. Speaking of which, the two of them really were a pair—Song Weichen had said something similar when she first met him, saying something like, "Although you are not a chaotic soul, you have not left the mortal world for a long time. You must still have some unresolved attachments?" He seemed to be duty-bound to help him fulfill his wishes.

Ah, people, they're always so good at making empty promises and vows.

Li Kan ignored Mo Tingfeng and instead looked down at Song Weichen—the withered, bony hand around her neck was particularly conspicuous.

"To make Lord Sichen bow down to you, my lady, I have underestimated you."

"If Wan'er knew that such a person was standing behind you, she probably wouldn't even dare to touch the hem of your clothes. However, since things have come to this, she may still be able to back out, but I will never go back."

Li Kan chuckled again, a sound that seemed both sarcastic and self-deprecating.

Another bony hand gently stroked Song Weichen's face. The icy chill felt like a sharp dagger licking her cheek. Song Weichen instinctively tried to dodge, but she was unable to move because her neck was being gripped. She felt waves of nausea spreading from her tailbone to her cervical spine.

"Your name is Song Weichen, right?"

"Song Weichen, our pact has been made. Unless I dissolve it, you will be my wife for all eternity."

"My lady, since we have been brought together by a twist of fate, why don't we, this resentful couple, unite and kill all the heartless people in the world? What do you say?"

"You bastard!! You dare to challenge me!!" Gu Cangyue, who had retreated to a corner in dejection, suddenly burst out with a strong murderous aura. His full head of silver hair suddenly grew longer, strands of which danced wildly like silver snakes, making him look exactly like a fallen immortal male version of Medusa.

"I don't care if you're a soul or a spirit, any cat or dog that dares to lay a finger on Weiwei, may you die a horrible death!"

It seems that Li Kan's address of "Madam" once again shattered Gu Cangyue's rationality. Despite retreating to a corner to avoid him, he still couldn't control his disordered mind and went mad again.

In the blink of an eye, thousands of silver snakes had already torn through the air and devoured Li Kan!

However, Li Kan was clearly prepared this time—the former "General of Shuofang" was no pushover after all. He grabbed Song Weichen with one hand and dodged away, while with the other hand he drew a dragon whip from his waist. When he unfurled it, it was like a dragon soaring into the blue sky. Although it was a bit difficult, he managed to hold back the thousands of silver snakes that were attacking him. In addition, with the Dharma Body Greatsword that Mo Tingfeng then slashed down, the silver snakes fell to the ground and turned into broken hairs, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

"Cang Yue, calm down! You're only hurting Weiwei!"

"Li Kan, let go of Weiwei! We can discuss any request you have!"

Mo Tingfeng leaped to the side, standing between Li Kan and Gu Cangyue—it was ironic, considering he was the one whose wife had been stolen away, and just moments before he was furious that some random man had suddenly appeared and called Song Weichen "Madam." Yet now, to save her, he was willingly standing between Gu Cangyue, his "ex-boyfriend," and Li Kan, this "femme fatale," to prevent them from fighting. If Song Weichen had the leisure to make jokes at this moment, she would surely praise President Mo for having the demeanor of an empress.

However, she could no longer speak. Despite her efforts to maintain her heartbeat and consciousness with her puppet energy, the continuous lack of oxygen left her feeling weak all over.

Her only thought was regret—regret that when Li Kan first grabbed her by the neck, she forgot to use the Moonlight Box technique to escape, and was too busy listening to him and Mo Tingfeng's rambling… Indeed, watching the show can be deadly…

……

"Your Highness, what exactly do you want?! Release Weiwei, and everything is negotiable!"

Mo Tingfeng was extremely anxious as he watched Song Weichen gradually collapse.

"what do you want?"

Li Kan looked at the dying Song Weichen,

"Lord Sichen, you would never understand what I want, and you simply cannot give it to me."

“I didn’t want to kill her, but now it seems that killing her was the smart choice, no, the choice of a smart idiot.”

"Since I neither trust you nor can I defeat you, there is only one way left: kill her and use her ghost to restrain you. Everyone understands the principle that all's fair in war."

As Li Kan spoke, he tightened his grip on Song Weichen's hand. At this moment, he truly wanted to kill him!

"Your Highness! A benevolent army does not harm the innocent!!"

Mo Tingfeng was driven to the brink of despair and could only pin his hopes on Li Kan's martial spirit from his lifetime.

He had never faced such hardship in his life. Song Weichen was right beside him, yet he was powerless to save her—if he killed the person holding her hostage, she would die; if he didn't, she would still die.

Not only that, he also had to guard against a sneak attack from the rampaging Gu Cangyue, completely losing the only chance that might make Li Kan have a change of heart and let Song Weichen go.

The three men were locked in a stalemate, each moment lasting only a breath, yet feeling as if an entire lifetime had passed.
.
Just as I was getting anxious, a sweet, childlike voice came from nearby.
"Hey? Dad... Daddy, did I do something wrong?"

The little guinea pig suddenly appeared out of nowhere. It turned out it hadn't been in its burrow the whole time. The lazy mouse was afraid of being scolded for breaking the scooter, so it had quietly run outside to tinker with and repair it.

As soon as they entered the cave, good heavens, it seemed... something big had happened?

With its fleshy paws tucked in and its fat belly protruding, it hurriedly flew to Mo Tingfeng's side, no longer daring to climb onto his shoulder, and just stood there timidly in the air.

"Shouldn't I have let Shuai Shuai out? What should I do... I think I made Daddy angry..."

It immediately stretched out a fleshy paw and pointed it at Li Kan.

"Shuai Shuai! You're being unreasonable! Why are you pinching Big Sister? Daddy will be angry! And I, Shushu, will be angry too!"

……angry?
He was more than just angry! At this moment, Mo Tingfeng not only wanted to beat the rat's head, but also wanted to beat himself up!
Yeah! This new male mistress was totally released by Little Meatball!! So what's he so smug about?! Little Meatball will definitely be able to take him back!!
"Little rascal, hurry! Send him back to where you released him! Never let him out again!" Mo Tingfeng was completely devoid of his usual composure, his tone now leaning entirely towards Song Weichen.

"Got it!"

Before he could finish speaking, Li Kan had vanished into thin air.

……

……

……

Unexpectedly, a life-or-death drama turned into a farce.

Mo Tingfeng took a long stride and caught Song Weichen, who was slightly out of breath and exhausted. "Weiwei," he whispered, carefully holding the little girl in his arms. He gently transferred his magic power and fed her pills, his movements as tender as water, but his face was darker than the bottom of a pot.

Damn it, he actually got outmaneuvered by a dead general.

However, Li Kan was probably even more frustrated. He had fought against heaven and earth, against gods and Si Chen, but in the end he was defeated by a meat guinea pig. Who told him that the one who actually drank the nuptial wine with him was... this fat rat!
Alas, the contract-forming bug is invincible.

Without Li Kan's stimulation, Gu Cangyue regained his senses and realized that he had almost sent Song Weichen to his death twice. He was no longer calm and dared not approach Song Weichen no matter how worried he was. So he simply sat down against the wall and put a tight band around his almost out-of-control, prolapsed, uh, no, runaway main spirit.

The cave finally regained its rare tranquility.

Actually, Song Weichen was not seriously injured. With Mo Tingfeng's proper treatment, he recovered quickly—and after recovering, he was furious! He straightened up and started grumbling at Xiao Biezhi.

"I've discovered that you little worm are truly determined to destroy me, damn it!"

Song Weichen gave the little guinea pig a hard flick on the head, and then insisted on calling Li Kan out to "whip his corpse."

"You little good-for-nothing, bring Li Kan out here for me!"

"Huh? Still calling me? No, that's not a good idea..."

The little guinea pig thought that it had only been gone for a short while and the hole had become a complete mess. It didn't want Li Kan to come out and embarrass it again. Besides, its father clearly didn't like Shuai Shuai. It was a good little guinea pig and still cared about its father's feelings.

"What's wrong with that? I was careless and didn't dodge just now. Do you think I'm afraid of him? Li Kan actually wanted to kill me. That kid is really tired of living!"

"Big Sister, Shuai Shuai was already tired of living, he was just a dead ghost anyway."

"...You're still defending him!"

The little guinea pig got another flick on the head. It tried to cover the big bump on its head with its chubby paws, but it couldn't reach it. So it just raised its paws to symbolically reach for the bump and touched it. Its beady black eyes looked at Song Weichen with a pitiful expression.

"Big Sister, please don't be angry with Shushu, okay? I didn't know Shuai Shuai would bully you, especially when Dad and Uncle Cangyue were both there! How could he still bully you like that!"

Upon hearing this, Mo Tingfeng was speechless...

Gu Cangyue had two black lines at the ends—one of which was for the phrase "Uncle Cangyue"...

What a clever little rat! It knows how to cook shrimp and pork heart.

……

"It's fine if you don't call Li Kan out, but you have to find a way to help me get this marriage off."

When Song Weichen got into a rascal act, he didn't even spare small animals.

"Anyway, you caused the trouble, and you drank the nuptial wine, so you have to take responsibility."

The worm looked completely innocent, only feeling the sharp pain on its head from the beating intensify. It glanced timidly at Mo Tingfeng and said in an extremely low voice, "Actually, the trouble was caused by the boss herself. She forced me to drink the alcohol..."

Before he could finish speaking, a chill ran down his back. Even with his thick, creamy-yellow fur, he couldn't withstand it. Without hesitation, the little guinea pig shrank back to Mo Tingfeng's shoulder, and sure enough, he avoided Song Weichen's high-burst, high-output head flick!
“Little Chic, listen up.”

Song Weichen's tone suddenly became unusually calm, which sent a chill down Shushu's spine.

"If I don't see Li Kan by the time I count to three, I won't see you either. You and he can live happily together."

!!!

"No, no, no! Big Sister, Mouse will call Handsome out right now!"

Little Chic promptly activated her ingratiating skills, "Go ahead and teach him a lesson, but if he dares to bully Big Sister again, I'll definitely take him back and discipline him properly, yes, discipline him!"

The little ball of flesh stood on Mo Tingfeng's shoulder, head held high and chest puffed out, its chubby paws patting its breasts.
"Don't worry, with Shushu around, Shuai Shuai will never dare to bully Big Sister again! Nor will he dare to bully Dad and Uncle Cangyue!"

One sentence almost caused Mo Tingfeng and Gu Cangyue to lose their composure.
The mighty Lord of Dust and the God of the River of Oblivion have actually fallen so low as to need the protection of a guinea pig... But it seems... in the matter of Li Kan, they really do need its protection...

It's hard to comment.
.
Li Kan reappeared, and the situation had completely reversed.

Because of Xiao Biezi's unique methods, he did not act rashly and stood straight without saying a word.

Song Weichen pulled the dragon whip from his waist and, like a drill instructor training new recruits, tapped the whip in her hand and circled around him. With Xiao Biezhi around, Mo Tingfeng was no longer worried about her being attacked by Li Kan, and was happy to sit at the wooden table to drink and prepare to watch the show.

"You damned old man, you traitor!"

"I never expected that you, Li Kan, with your upright face and thick eyebrows, would do such despicable things. You call me 'Madam' while ruthlessly trying to kill me. Did you insure me with a huge insurance policy? What, are you trying to stage an accident to kill me and collect the insurance money?"

"And all that talking while killing someone, you've gone completely off track, haven't you? You've missed your chance! Didn't the TV shows teach you that villains die from talking too much!"

Song Weichen was stunned by Li Kan's cursing as soon as she opened her mouth. What nonsense was she spouting? Mo Tingfeng even spat out a mouthful of wine—this girl's thought process was truly beyond the reach of ordinary people. Judging from her tone, what did she mean by being quite willing to be this dead man's wife? He immediately suspected that he had drunk fake wine, and that he had swallowed ancient vinegar.

"Look, now you can't kill me even if you want, you failed to commit insurance fraud, and you even gave it all to Little Biezhi, who is now completely under your control. You were a prince and a great general in your previous life, what did you gain? I'm ashamed for you."

"So let's get a divorce before too many people know! From now on, we'll go our separate ways. You can go find Wan'er to act as your matchmaker again, and I'll pretend I've never seen you before. How about that? You're guaranteed to make a profit."

……

Love is waiting for him here.

Li Kan smiled faintly, finally understanding the hidden meaning behind Song Weichen's nonsensical words.

"What if I disagree?"
