“I’m your father, too!” Lin Xiu answered without hesitation, blurting it out!
Hearing this, the woman’s expression changed. Instead of arguing with Lin Xiu, she turned around and carried the baby girl in her arms into the bedroom beside them. As she walked, she comforted her, “Be good, baby. Play by yourself for a while. Mommy will teach that immature older brother of yours a lesson, then come back to keep you company.”
Looking at the woman’s graceful back, Kadir turned to Lin Xiu, her eyes filled with confusion.
“Could she really be your mother?”
“She’s sick, and you are too, aren’t you?” Lin Xiu shot her an exasperated glance.
“I mean, could she be your father’s girlfriend?” Kadir gathered her thoughts and explained.
Lin Xiu was stunned when he heard this. The woman’s remark had confused him, and he had not reacted in time. But after thinking it over, he realized that it was a possibility.
The woman had already walked out of the bedroom. She removed a hair tie from her wrist and tied the long hair draped over her shoulders into a ponytail. Then she curled her finger at Lin Xiu in provocation.
“You little brat, come here. Today, I’ll educate you on behalf of your father and make sure you know how to speak to your elders from now on.”
“I never hit women.” Lin Xiu curled his lip in disdain.
Hearing this, the corners of Kadir’s mouth twitched. She turned to Lin Xiu and said nothing.
Feeling Kadir’s gaze, Lin Xiu also turned to look at the other party. Without changing expression, he spoke: “Help me fight her.”
As he spoke, he added, “Just beat her up a little. Don’t kill her.”
At this point, Lin Xiu also felt that this woman was likely his father’s woman. If she were seriously injured, wouldn’t his father carry out Justice and destroy his own family?
“Oh.” Kadir nodded, then stepped forward and stood in front of Lin Xiu. A pair of snow-white Wings unfurled!
Seeing this, the woman was stunned. Then a meaningful smile curved her lips. “Not bad, kid. You even managed to get a Seraph from the Divine Kingdom. As expected of your father’s son.”
“I... We’re not...” Kadir began to explain, but Lin Xiu interrupted her.
“Stop talking nonsense with her. Fight first, then we’ll talk.”
“Little girl, you’re the junior, so make the first move.” The woman curled her finger at Kadir, a smile still on her lips, as if she did not take The other party seriously.
“Pardon me.” Kadir had also guessed the other party’s identity, so her tone was much more polite than Lin Xiu’s.
A dazzling long sword appeared in her hand, and she charged at the woman!
“Angel’s Blade. But in the end, you’re only a two-winged Angel. Your divine power still isn’t condensed enough.” The woman shook her head, then clenched her empty right hand.
The next moment, a silver spear appeared in her hand!
She held the spear in one hand and swept it across. Kadir went flying.
Before Lin Xiu could react, a Golden light Figure flew backward from beside him. He turned and saw Kadir dozens of meters behind him, kneeling on one knee with a deathly pale face. The Golden light surrounding her had dimmed.
With one move, Kadir, a Seraph, was defeated after a single exchange. Judging by the situation, the other party had not even used her full strength!
“So strong.” Kadir put away the Angel's Blade in her hand, and the pair of Wings behind her receded into her Body. She stood up and walked to Lin Xiu’s side. “I can’t beat her. You fight her yourself.”
“Ahem...” Lin Xiu coughed twice to conceal his embarrassment. “I never hit women.”
“Tch.” Kadir curled her lip, but she did not expose Lin Xiu.
“All right, come in and talk.” The woman waved her hand, and the spear in her hand vanished.
Lin Xiu hesitated, then led Kadir inside.
The woman took two bottles of drinks from the refrigerator and handed them to the two of them. Then she sat across from them.
“My introduction was rather abrupt. Let me introduce myself again.”
“My name is Zhao Qingqing. I’m your father’s wife.”
Although Lin Xiu had guessed the woman’s Identity, he still felt confused. She looked only a few years older than him, and she had been holding a child. The child was probably two or three years old, which meant his father might have been with this woman while he was still in Biluo City.
Thinking of this, he asked, “So my father sent me to Sin City so he could be with you?”
The woman smiled and said, “Did he need your permission to be with me?”
“At that time, I was pursuing your father, but he hadn’t agreed yet.”
“You were pursuing my father?” Lin Xiu looked as though he had heard something unbelievable.
“What? Is that not allowed?” Zhao Qingqing raised an eyebrow.
“Of course, of course.” Lin Xiu nodded with an ingratiating smile.
“Actually, your father and I have known each other for more than ten years.”
“Wait, you’ve known my father for more than ten years?” Lin Xiu interrupted her and asked, “May I ask how old you are?”
“I’m twenty-six.”
“You’re twenty-six, and you met my father more than ten years ago?” The doubt on Lin Xiu’s face deepened.
A hint of gloom crossed Zhao Qingqing’s eyes. She asked with a bitter smile, “Do you remember what happened in Biluo City fifteen years ago?”
“Fifteen years ago?” Lin Xiu searched through his incomplete memory. After a while, he raised his head in realization.
“You mean the time when Sakura Country caused a disturbance?”
“That’s right.” Zhao Qingqing nodded calmly. “Fifteen years ago, a group of Ghost Controllers from Sakura Country came to Biluo City.”
“That attack dealt Biluo City an unprecedented blow. Before the City Lord's Mansion and the Night Watch Division could react, those Ghost Controllers massacred every child under eighteen in Biluo City!”
“My parents died at the hands of those ghouls while protecting me. If your father hadn’t arrived in time, I wouldn’t be here today.”
“But how old were you then?” Lin Xiu remained suspicious.
“I was eleven that year. I didn’t understand love then, but I told myself that I would find a chance to repay him someday.”
“So you offered yourself to him?” Lin Xiu asked.
“You think too little of me.” Zhao Qingqing glared at Lin Xiu in exasperation before continuing, “Although I was grateful to him and wanted to repay him, I would never marry someone I didn’t like.”
“At the time, I didn’t know whether it was fear of those filthy things or grief over my parents’ deaths, but I awakened that very day.”
“What!” This time, it was not only Lin Xiu—even Kadir, who was standing nearby, wore a shocked expression.
Awakening at eleven!
A genius!
