Fairy, don't let your golden finger chase after me!

Chapter 81: Fellow Daoist, please wait!

"Any member of the Dong family who dares to approach Dong Mo! I'll tear them to pieces!"

Yin Lingsu's voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable killing intent.

The Dong family members, who had been itching to make a move, were instantly stunned by Yin Lingsu's shout.

Upon seeing this, Dong Yan's expression changed slightly: "Fellow Daoist Yin, what do you mean by this?"

"What do you mean?" Yin Lingsu sneered. "Old ghost, are you trying to break the contract?"

Dong Yan's lips twitched. Of course he knew what Yin Lingsu was worried about: if Dong Mo fell into his hands, would he have a good ending?

But he couldn't just openly steal it. After all, the Heavenly Contract was there for all to see.

Dong Yan took a deep breath, forcing a smile on his face: "Fellow Daoist is joking. I just wanted to catch my own grandson."

"No need," Yin Lingsu said calmly. "My disciple, I will handle it myself."

Then she turned around and glanced at the three women not far away.

Feng Ling Shuang, Gu Zi Yue, and Song Qiu Yu exchanged a glance, then, understanding each other perfectly, leaped up and flew towards the direction where Dong Mo had fallen.

Feng Ling Shuang was the fastest among them, and it looked like she was about to catch Dong Mo as he fell!

Just then, a woman's voice suddenly rang out from afar!

"Ah... young master!"

Then a figure in cyan rushed over, faster than the other girls!

The figure shot in from afar at an incredible speed, and before anyone could react, caught Dong Mo in a princess carry.

Dong Mo felt himself fall into a soft embrace. He was stunned for a moment, then slowly opened his eyes, and saw a handsome face.

He wore a blue robe, a bamboo hat, and a white silk sash around his waist.

It was Xiao Bai, Dong Mo's personal maid.

"Xiao Bai? What are you doing here?" Dong Mo exclaimed in surprise. "Didn't I tell you to run away and lay low?"

Xiao Bai held Dong Mo in his arms, looking down at the young master in his arms, his eyes slightly red, but his voice carried a hint of stubbornness.

"Young Master's life is in danger, how can I, your servant, live on alone?"

"You gave me my life, and I will go through fire and water with you."

Looking at Xiao Bai's serious, almost stubborn face, Dong Mo opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.

Finally, he sighed and reached out to pat Xiao Bai's head: "Silly girl."

Xiao Bai's face flushed slightly, but he did not dodge.

Xiao Bai held Dong Mo in his arms, his gaze sweeping over the wounds on Dong Mo's body, and his eyes reddened with heartache.

However, upon noticing the change in Dong Mo's cultivation level, Xiao Bai couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Young Master, you've... reached the Core Formation stage?"

Dong Mo's lips curled up slightly: "I have successfully completed my mission."

Seeing that Dong Mo was safe and sound, Yin Lingsu withdrew her gaze and looked at Dong Yan again.

"Old Ghost. My disciple has reached the Core Formation stage. According to the conditions we agreed upon..."

Yin Lingsu paused, a cold smile curling at the corner of her lips.

"Shouldn't you take your men and get out of here right now?"

Upon hearing this, Dong Yan's face darkened.

"If you don't want to leave, then let's have a fight." Yin Lingsu casually waved the Star Tribulation in her hand, glaring at Dong Yan.

Faced with Yin Lingsu's threat, Dong Yan remained silent.

He then quickly began to calculate the gains and losses of this battle in his mind.

Fight Yin Lingsu? Yes, we could fight her.

But then what? Win or lose, it's going to be a mess. It might even directly ignite a conflict between the Dong family of the Western Wilderness and the Heavenly Demon City of the Southern Wilderness.

The Dong family can no longer withstand this kind of turmoil.

Besides... Dong Mo has already formed his core, and the Heavenly Dao Contract is there for all to see. Even if I wanted to snatch her away, I couldn't outdo Yin Lingsu.

Since things have come to this point, we have no choice but to give up.

Hmph... Even without double pupils, I still have the Supreme Bone.

Although the effect may not be as good as before, it's better than nothing. At worst, I can possess the Supreme Bone to prolong my life and then cultivate another pair of double pupils.

The one thing I have in abundance is time.

Dong Yan took a deep breath, suppressing the surging resentment and anger in his heart. He turned around and waved to the Dong family members.

"Hmph... Let's go."

"Fellow Daoist, please wait!"

Yin Lingsu's voice came from behind Dong Yan.

Dong Yan stopped in his tracks without turning around: "What else do you wish to do, fellow Daoist?"

Yin Lingsu stretched out her hand and pointed to the floating warship in the distance that was still emitting black smoke.

"You people can leave, but... you promised me the ship will stay."

Upon hearing this, Dong Yan's body visibly stiffened.

He slowly turned around, looked at Yin Lingsu's smiling face, and the muscles at the corners of his mouth twitched a few times.

Finally, he spoke, word by word, his voice as cold as if it had been frozen in an ice cellar.

"All members of the Dong family on board, evacuate from the Sumeru pedestal. Hand the ship over to Lord Yin. Otherwise people will say that our Dong family can't afford to lose."

The members of the Dong family looked at each other, their eyes filled with disbelief.

That's the Sumeru pedestal! The very foundation upon which the Dong family stands! Each one is extremely precious! It's almost impossible for them to be made again!

Just like that... you handed it over to someone else?

"Ancestor!" a young member of the Dong family couldn't help but exclaim, "That's..."

"I said, withdraw." Dong Yan's voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable authority.

No one dared to speak anymore.

The members of the Dong family remained silent, one by one leaving the Sumeru pedestal and retreating back to the ground.

Yin Lingsu crossed her arms and watched this scene, her smile growing even brighter.

After the last member of the Dong family left the Sumeru Throne, Yin Lingsu waved to Dong Yan with a smile.

"Old Dong! Thank you for the boat!"

As Yin Lingsu poured wine into her mouth, she deliberately dragged out her words.

"Oh...right! And your wonderful grandson! I'll raise him well!"

Dong Yan's body trembled violently. His face changed from white to red, from red to purple, from purple to black...

then……

"puff!"

A mouthful of blood spurted from Dong Yan's mouth!

Dong Yan's body swayed, then everything went black before he plummeted straight to the ground.

"Ancestor! Ancestor!"

The Dong family members exclaimed in surprise and rushed forward to help Dong Yan up.

Dong Yan's face was ashen, blood still clung to the corner of his mouth, and he looked ten years older.

He fainted.

As Yin Lingsu watched this scene, her golden eyes held no sympathy or pity, only a faint hint of mockery.

"Let's go." One of the Nascent Soul cultivators from the Dong family gritted his teeth, picked up Dong Yan, and led the rest of the Dong family away in a sorry state.

Watching the dejected figures of the Dong family members, Dong Mo, held in Xiao Bai's arms, managed a weary smile.

He had finally broken free from his villainous fate from the original story and completely detached himself from the Dong family! From now on, he would be free to roam the world, no longer bound by the Dong family!

However, before that...

I still have one problem to solve.

Thinking of this, Dong Mo turned to look at Song Qiuyu and Feng Lingshuang, as well as Yin Lingsu, who was looking at him with excitement.

That is... should I go to the Central Continent or the Southern Wilderness next...?

However, judging from Yin Lingsu's posture, she was about to tie someone up.

In the end, whether I want to or not, I guess I'll have to go to the Southern Wilderness with her, right?
