Villains: Starting with the Landlady

Ling Yun stared at her for a moment, then walked up to her, placed his hand on her chin, and looked at her beautiful face that hadn't been enhanced by modern technology: "Zheng Xi, I'm very possessive."

After saying that, he leaned down and kissed her, making Zheng Xi dizzy and also making the "Beauty Recognizes Master" effect work.

He's laid his cards on the table. Even if he doesn't want to push the other person down right now, he absolutely won't let them escape his grasp.

Zheng Xi's reaction was even more enthusiastic than he had expected. Ling Yun stared at her starry eyes for a moment, then whispered, "If you later find out that I'm actually a villain who does all sorts of evil, will you regret it?"

"At least what you're doing now is right. Who can guarantee they'll always be the same?"

Ling Yun understood the implication: as long as he didn't do bad things in front of her, she wouldn't mind.

Zheng Xi watched him magically store the items into his spatial ring and then take them out again, and asked curiously, "With your ability, if you hoarded some rare materials and sold them in other countries, wouldn't you make a fortune? And customs wouldn't be able to find you."

"Forget about this kind of thing, I don't need the money."

"If anyone else heard you say that, they'd be furious." Zheng Xi suddenly laughed. "Our young master Ling is so rich, why don't you give me some? My salary isn't enough, I'll never be able to buy a house in the capital in my lifetime!"

"I'll send one set; it's near your Huahai Road law enforcement bureau."

Zheng Xi shook her head: "I was just saying. To get so many benefits just because we have this relationship is really too opportunistic."

Ling Yun stroked her smooth, beautiful back and closed his eyes: "I'm never stingy with my women. Of course, if you don't want them, that's fine too. If anything happens later, just contact me directly. You can also come to me if you have any difficulties. Don't be afraid to bother me. I'm just afraid that you'll have to shoulder everything by yourself."

“Um, Samantha also told me that you haven’t contacted her yet!” Zheng Xi suddenly said.

"That foreign woman... forget it, I already have enough women, there's no need to bring another one over, it would make everything inconvenient for me."

"Hmph, as long as you act uprightly and honestly, who can find out anything about you?"

"I told you, I'm the big villain, the kind who kills without blinking an eye."

"That's right." Zheng Xi pecked him on the chest and smiled lightly.

Chapter 171 The Female "Protagonist"

The next day, Zheng Xi went to work, and Ling Yun returned to the Su family manor.

Just as Ling Yun was chatting and laughing with the Su family girls, Su Guosheng suddenly walked in and brought Ling Yun a folder.

"Grandpa, what is this?"

"This is the information of the Kong family's granddaughter. She is 23 years old this year. I think she is quite good. Take a closer look."

The Kong family is also one of the ancient martial arts families. The current head of the Kong family knows Su Guosheng and the two have a good relationship. In terms of ancient martial arts level, the Kong family patriarch is even better. It is said that he has reached the innate realm. Therefore, although he is 70 years old, he looks no different from 50 years old.

Su Guosheng had considered improving himself through ancient martial arts, but firstly, he had come to understand and practice them too late, missing the optimal age. Secondly, tests showed that his physique was indeed inadequate; even if he started training from birth, reaching the level of marrow cleansing and bone tempering would be impossible in this lifetime.

Therefore, in order to secure his position and to enjoy a longer life, he ultimately made the decision to sacrifice himself.

As for Tian Suanzi, his origins are quite mysterious. He is not a successor of ancient martial arts, but rather a inheritor of one of the blank periods in history thousands of years ago. However, his lineage is passed down only to a single successor, and his skills will only be fully imparted to the next successor.

Ling Yun opened the folder, glanced at it, and raised an eyebrow: "Is this Kong Ru the Sister Ru I remember?"

"That's right, but she hasn't seen you much since she started learning her family's ancient martial arts when she was 10. Now her strength is about the same as that old man from the Tao family, so she can move around freely. How about it, if you think she's doing well, how about you two meet this afternoon?"

The Su sisters, Su Qingya and Su Jinyao, took a look, and even Liu Qiuhua curiously came over.

Kong Ru has a somewhat heroic look. Although she is quite pretty overall, she still exudes a quiet and serene air, and seems somewhat dissatisfied with the camera.

In my memory, Kong Ru was only a few years old back then, but her temperament was similar to her current one, with a faint air of arrogance, though she was still very polite to Ling Yun and the Su family.

"Let's meet her." Ling Yun was quite interested, seemingly feeling that this girl would bring him a different experience.

"Okay, I'll tell the Kong family!" The old man took the phone and went out to call the Kong family.

Actually, arranging for the two to meet wasn't entirely his idea; it was more about the Kong family. The Kong family was basically secluded, somewhat out of touch with the times, and their practices were rather rigid. Faced with such a powerful family as the Su family, they naturally wanted to cling to them tightly. Ling Yun was 20 this year, and Kong Ru was 23, both suitable ages. If the two could spark a connection, it would be a good thing for both families.

"Oh dear, my sweet little Yun is going to have a new boyfriend again!"

Su Jinyao nestled in his arms and feigned a sigh. Ling Yun chuckled and kissed her, saying, "My dear Aunt Yao, even if I have many women, I still spend more time with you all, don't I?"

Liu Qiuhua checked the time and, seeing that it was almost time, got up and went to the kitchen with Su Qingya to prepare lunch.

In the afternoon, Ling Yun was drinking tea alone in the garden when Su Guosheng walked over with an old man and a tall girl.

"Grandpa Kong, Sister Ruru, hello."

Ling Yun stood up and greeted them, and the old man and the young man opposite him quickly responded.

"Then you young people can have your chat, we two old men will be leaving first!" Old Master Kong looked heroic and extraordinary. Although he was not as tall as Ling Yun, he still had a commanding presence, and his strength had reached A level!

This was the strongest person Ling Yun had ever seen, seemingly possessing a sense of oneness with the universe. He looked like an ordinary old man, but his steps were steady, and his arms swung back and forth with great power. If they were to really fight, Ling Yun would probably have to use the "Meteor Slash" enhanced by Mo Bai to have a chance of defeating him.

The pretty girl sitting opposite him, looking somewhat embarrassed, presented a completely different picture.

Name: Kong Ru

【Age: 23】

[Value: 170, C]

[Rating: 95]

[Protagonist's Fate: Proud and serene in nature. Possesses astonishing talent, being the fastest-progressing member of the Kong family in ancient martial arts, without exception. Furthermore, perfectly matching the requirements of a mysterious ancient manual preserved by the Kong family, she began cultivating it three years ago. Unfortunately, due to a lack of the essence of heaven and earth, her progress is slow. Later, through an encounter with a benefactor, she enters an ancient medicinal field, consumes ancient elixirs, opens her acupoints, and awakens the path to "immortality." Due to her ability to avoid harm and seek advantage, she evades various conspiracies and schemes, ultimately becoming the national heroine of the Dragon Kingdom. Special Ability: Avoiding Harm and Seeking Advantage]

[Recent Fortuitous Encounter: Seizing the bounty of heaven and earth, he discovered an ancient elixir recorded in family history within a newly opened ancient medicinal field. After consuming it, all the acupoints in his body were opened, thus embarking on the path to "immortality."]

【Luck: 2000】

[Combat Strength: B]

[Affection: Admiration (Friendliness towards beautiful women increased+)]

It's fair to say that Kong Ru has the most searched items that Ling Yun has ever seen!

This was also the first time he had encountered a female "protagonist," and she was also the person with the highest luck, even on par with Su Guosheng at his peak.

Is the upper limit of ancient martial arts the innate level, but also the starting point for becoming an "immortal"?

Ling Yun was unaware that his curious expression as he checked the information appeared to Kong Ru as an aggressive and intense scrutiny.

Although she was proud, she couldn't bring herself to dislike Ling Yun because of her "admiration." She adjusted her posture, but finally couldn't sit still any longer, so she coughed lightly and said, "Little Yun, have you... finished reading?"

"Um, ah?"

Ling Yun subconsciously wanted to say that she had finished reading the information, but seeing that it was her asking, she quickly sat up straight, smiled and nodded: "Well, it's been more than ten years since we last met, Sister Ru Ru has become much prettier."

"No, I've always been like this..."

Kong Ru was unusually coy, so Ling Yun poured her a cup of tea.

"Sister Ruru, you know what the old man means, right?"

"Yes, you want to set us up." She nodded and took a small sip of tea. "I know you have a girlfriend. Don't worry, I won't compete with Tao Xin'er for her affections. As long as she's polite to me, I'll treat her equally."

"You're just going to admit it like that?"

Hearing this, Kong Ru blinked at him and said, "Are you going to resist? After all, I don't dislike you, and this is Grandpa's opinion, so of course I agree. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come."

Ling Yun frowned, and the tea in his mouth tasted different.

"Sister Ruru, although I appreciate your straightforwardness, are you just going to let things slide without your own thoughts?"

"Thoughts? I don't have any thoughts." Kong Ru put down her teacup. "I've been practicing ancient martial arts since I was a child. When I reach marriageable age, I'll get married, have children, protect my husband and children, and live a peaceful life."

"Isn't that what life is all about?"

Chapter 172 Solution?

After listening, Ling Yun simply took a sip of tea in silence.

It's impossible for a woman who has been brainwashed and influenced by this kind of education since childhood to have her worldview changed by just a few words from him over the past 20 years.

Perhaps, to put it another way, she is also more pure.

There's no need to pursue worldly fame and fortune. Just focus on studying the ancient martial arts you love, or even that ancient book you can't figure out how to cultivate now, get married, have children, and live a peaceful life.

But there was one thing that troubled him, and that was about her luck.

"Nana, no matter what, Kong Ru is one of my future women. How can I weaken this luck? Do I have to suppress her or... kill her?"

[Hmm, it's actually very simple. Master just needs to use the most primitive and brutal method. And once you do that, the plunder when her luck reaches zero will become a "copy," and it won't harm her at all!]

The most primitive and brutal method?

Ling Yun subconsciously activated his X-ray vision to take a look, and nodded.

Hmm, not bad. Although she's not as beautiful as the Qi family's **flower, she has the advantage of years of practicing ancient martial arts, so her physique is also excellent.

"Sister Ruru, what if your grandfather arranged a different man for you?"

“Other men?” She toyed with the empty teacup in her hand and smiled dismissively. “They would have to be men I would even fancy.”

"So that means you're interested in me?"

Kong Ru paused in her hand movements, tilting her head slightly: "I've known you since we were little, and I think you're a really good person, and you still are."

Ling Yun smiled and shook his head. Putting aside his "approachable" demeanor towards beautiful women, Kong Ru probably already had a fairly high level of goodwill towards him. He stood up and extended his hand to Kong Ru: "Sister Ru Ru, shall I show you around the manor?"

"Ah."

Kong Ru extended her small hand, and the two left the stone table.

Later that day, Ling Yun groaned and lazily lay on Su Qingya's back. After catching their breath for a moment, he rolled over and lay on his back on the bed.

Su Qingya cleaned up the mess, rested her head on his arm, and ran her fingers along his chest: "Xiaoyun, how is that girl from the Kong family?"

"Not bad, but her way of thinking is a bit different from that of modern young girls."

“Most ancient martial arts families are like this, and the Kong family is the most feudal one.” Su Qingya stared into Ling Yun’s eyes. “But I think that girl is easy to raise.”

"What? When did our beautiful Su learn to tell fortunes?"

"Get lost! There's scientific evidence to back this up!"

Su Qingya gently traced the sensitive area on his chest with her fingers, causing Ling Yun to hiss. She then smiled and said, "Big breasts and wide pelvis, of course it's easy to give birth!"

"Hey, it's the 21st century, and there are still C-sections. Besides, with ointment, there won't be any scars. It's no big deal."

"You shameless scoundrel! After all, surgery is bound to harm a woman!" She patted Ling Yun's chest. "But for women in China these days, getting pregnant through normal means is already a blessing. I wonder if our next generation will be any better off."

On Monday, the ten-day National Day holiday officially ended. At noon, Ling Yun went to school in Su Qingya's car.

He originally thought there would only be two girls waiting for him at the door, but unexpectedly there were three.

Good afternoon, Lingyun.

Jiang Ruyu stood with her hands on her hips, making her figure even more prominent, while Zhang Caiwei seemed somewhat inferior, feeling immense pressure standing next to these two women.

"Hey, isn't this my little kidnapper? What, you've come to my door on your own initiative?"

"cut!"

Jiang Ruyu wrinkled her cute little nose and saw Ling Yun holding Qi Jingjing and Zhang Caiwei in his arms. She muttered, "Hey, you look so respectable, yet you're surrounded by women, and... you're such a womanizer!"

"That's my personal hobby. Besides, I didn't force anyone. It was all voluntary."

Jiang Ruyu pouted. She had originally wanted to wait for Ling Yun to say more, but when she saw him interacting with the two girls, she was reminded of the beauties in the Qi family's swimming pool. She felt a little jealous and turned to go to her classroom.

This scene was witnessed by a girl who was looking out from an empty classroom.

Leng Hanyan gripped the corridor railing with both hands, her heart filled with mixed emotions. Yesterday, she and her adoptive mother heard some news that, while making them happy, also brought tears to their eyes.

The truck driver who was involved in the car accident with her parents years ago has been brought back to trial and sentenced.

Although it was her parents who were rear-ended, if the driver hadn't been severely overloaded and unable to stop suddenly, and given the narrow one-way street where there was no way to avoid them, her parents wouldn't have died.

Afterwards, the driver was found to bear no responsibility whatsoever, and even colluded with the insurance company, resulting in very little compensation being paid in the end!

This amount of money isn't even enough to support her through high school, let alone university.

The news was delivered by a member of the Sun family who called Shen Qian personally; Leng Hanyan happened to be sitting next to her at the time.

Especially the last sentence, the young man from the Sun family, who sounded somewhat effeminate, emphasized: "This matter was ultimately due to the negligence of our Sun family, so we will provide double the compensation that is due... Although I know you will not forgive us, Young Master Ling has instructed that you can contact me at any time if you encounter any trouble in the future."

Mr. Ling?

Since Shen Qian didn't really know this person, she asked a question out of curiosity.
