The girl tugged at my wrist fiercely.
I furrowed my brow, slightly turning my body to dodge her.
Then, I stretched my other hand out to touch her shoulder.
The moment she was touched by me, I exerted a slight force, causing her body to lose balance and stagger backward several steps before she fell heavily onto the bed.
I stepped into the room immediately, and she looked at me with an astonished expression.
"You hit a woman? You're assaulting me?!"
Her face turned a deep red, and her voice was sharp.
My furrowed brow became even tighter, and my expression became stern.
"You should stop right there." My voice had no attempt to hide its coldness.
"Master..."
In another corner of the room, Tang Quan's expression was very uneasy.
"Finally, you've returned… Miss Huaqi indeed called you for a long time, but you didn't pick up…"
"She still has something to say."
My eyelids suddenly twitched. What could Tang Quan be referring to?
I subconsciously took out my phone, and indeed, the screen was filled with notifications of missed calls...
Mangqi suddenly stood up from the bed, her face beet-red, her lips pursed, and she walked towards the door.
I stretched out my hand, directly intercepting Mangqi.
"What's the matter? Just say it."
I tried to soften my tone as much as possible.
"There used to be, but now there isn't."
"You dare hit me today, will you dare hit my sister tomorrow?"
"So it seems, it would be better to marry off my sister."
Mangqi raised one hand, with her thumb pointing downwards.
She extended her other hand, attempting to push me away.
My expression changed, my arm went extremely rigid, and Mangqi did not push me away.
"Get out, you lowlife!"
She suddenly grabbed my arm with both hands, and bit my arm fiercely with her mouth!
I never would have expected her to use such a childlike fighting move.
A sudden intense pain shot through my arm.
I grunted loudly, beads of sweat forming on my forehead.
But I still didn't step back. My heart felt heavy, and my face was completely shadowed with anger and disapproval.
A warmth spread through my upper arm.
It was unclear whether it was blood or Mangqi's saliva.
She seemed to have bitten herself out, and she finally let go of me.
A circle of bloodstain appeared on the surface of her clothes.
Seeing blood, her previously angry expression instantly froze.
Looking at me, she bit her lower lip tightly and said, "Are you crazy? I bit you, and you didn't push me away?"
I: "..."
Mangqi's personality was too straightforward and headstrong...
For a moment, I really didn't know how to communicate with her.
"Miss Mangqi, Master Tang's temperament is straightforward... He's not good at talking either. Due to the suddenness of Miss Huanying's situation, he might not have reacted immediately. Please bear with him. Could you quickly explain the matter?"
Tang Quan approached and tried to smooth things over.
I slightly shook my upper arm.
The pain was very intense, but it was all suppressed by the chaotic emotions inside me.
"What does it mean that Mangyi just returned home for a night and is already talking about getting married? What do you mean by this?"
"Why didn't you say that before?"
I can't describe that tiny emotion in my heart, it feels like someone has taken a piece out of my heart, and I feel like my body is empty, as if something has been stolen...
"I was going to say that, waiting for you downstairs, but you just drove away. I asked you to come back, but you didn't even pick up the phone."
"Are you blaming me?"
Mangqi slightly raised her head, and her eyes opened wider.
There was a hint of displeasure, mild anger, and a touch of innocence towards me on her face.
For a moment, I was at a loss for words.
It seems like what she said wasn't entirely wrong...
Mangqi retreated two steps and sat back on the bed. She mumbled something under her breath, but I couldn't hear it clearly. It sounded like she was saying something about her head.
Tang Quan appeared even more anxious, urging us not to argue and to get to the matter at hand.
I snapped back to reality, furrowed my brow, and didn't urge Mangqi anymore. Instead, I apologized and said it was my fault earlier.
In these brief encounters, I could tell that Mengqi's character was that of a spoiled girl who had been pampered.
A slight bow isn't really a bow; it can avoid a lot of trouble.
Indeed, Mengqi's face improved quite a bit.
She still shot me a disdainful look before humphing softly and saying, "Well, this matter is somewhat related to Sister Huanying."
Upon hearing this, I involuntarily tensed up.
Before listening to the parrot, I had misunderstood and thought it was Mangqi.
After Mangqi explained the difference to me, I was able to understand the distinction between them.
The Huanying that Mangqi mentioned is the sister of Huanying, who was killed by Sun Zhuo.
What Huanying's sister did was indeed a shame to the Hu family and something they couldn't retaliate against...
But why did it involve Huanying again?
"Has your sister told you about the destiny of the Mang family?"
When Mengqi said this, there was clearly some dissatisfaction in her eyes.
I fell silent for half a second before nodding.
Huanying had indeed mentioned the secret of the Mang family.
Family members of the Mang who possess special fate, if they die in a special way, will turn blood into fireflies, and when they gather, they are ghosts, and when they spread out, they are blood fireflies. Blood fireflies will consume people's souls.
In fact, Sun Zhuo learned about this and killed Huanying because of it.
Even more so...
It's very likely that Huanying also has the title of Tianyi Yangguo, which has been taken away by Sun Zhuo.
He only took full advantage of Huanying.
"Every generation of the direct lineage of the Mang family has a blood firefly destiny, but the strength of the Mang family itself is more about Giatsu, which is more for gathering information."
"Therefore, the Mang family needs to be protected."
"A family that shelters the Mang family is also a sorcerer family."
"Huanying's sister had a marriage agreement, but she went to see a sorcerer, and eventually died. This brought shame to the Mang family and angered the sorcerer family."
"That's why Uncle has made a decision since a long time ago. Only my sister can marry over, not disrupting the tradition."
"Although Sister has the destiny of Tianyi Yangguo, for the Mang family, this destiny is actually not good."
"Because we all know that black magic is not compatible with the cultivation of the Deity, Sister's destiny is not good for the Mang family. If she marries someone improper, she will only be victimized, like what happened to Huanying sister, who didn't have the Tianyi Yangguo destiny but was still killed by a sorcerer."
"If Sister is highly valued by someone, she will not only be treated as a cauldron to cultivate her own Deity but will also end up with the same fate as Huanying sister in the end!"
"You being brought back by Sister led the sorcerer family to come in a hurry overnight, afraid that something funny would happen again."
"They've threatened that if both of the Mang family's daughters do the same thing, they will be seen as lacking in loyalty. Either they should take her away now or they will cut ties with the Mang family!"
"Uncle dare not cut ties, so he had to agree."
"Sister's emotions are extreme. She was too calm, she just gave me the brown paper bag and said nothing."
"I knew something would definitely go wrong!"
"Sister has been like this since she was young, whenever there's a big issue, she doesn't argue or fuss, her silence is terrifying."
Upon finishing her sentence, Mangqi's eyes were filled with deep unease.
