Making you a son-in-law is not about making you conquer the world.

Chapter 842 Sending You Home

"Put me down, put me down quickly!" Zhang Yuelu's little fists kept pounding on his shoulder.

She's supposed to be a young, teenage girl; how could she let a man carry her? Even if she's ill, she shouldn't have such intimate contact.

She prefers to be held rather than carried, at least that way certain parts of her body don't have to touch.

"You lecherous scoundrel, put me down right now!" Zhang Yuelu increased the pressure on her hands. If her meridians hadn't been damaged, she would have definitely taken the opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to Lin Ping.

"Oh..." Lin Ping seemed to think that this was somewhat inappropriate.

He wanted to carry her on his back in the purest way, but Zhang Yuelu's entire chest was pressed against his back. Didn't she know to keep a little distance?

Lin Ping obediently put her on the ground—no, he threw her onto the ground.

Yeah!

Zhang Yuelu's buttocks made intimate contact with the ground, causing her to wince in pain.

"See? I told you you couldn't walk by yourself," Lin Ping said with a hint of schadenfreude.

"It's none of your business if I fall to my death." Zhang Yuelu struggled to her feet, tried to take two steps forward, and sure enough, fell to the ground again.

Her disordered pulse caused her body to become uncontrollable; her legs trembled uncontrollably, making it impossible for her to walk on her own.

Of course, if Lin Ping doesn't touch her, she will recover somewhat after an hour, at least she will be able to walk on her own.

"We need to leave quickly, the Nightshade Palace group could show up at any moment," Lin Ping said seriously.

He knew Zhang Yuelu was a master with her own recovery methods, and he should give her ample time. However, the enemy was nearby, and staying even a moment longer could be life-threatening.

“Even if they kill me, I won’t let you carry me,” Zhang Yuelu said angrily, clearly harboring a great deal of resentment towards Lin Ping.

The reason she didn't kill Lin Ping directly was to absorb the purest energy in his body. However, his energy was too pure, which could damage Zhang Yuelu's meridians. As a result, Lin Ping lost his value.

If her strength hadn't been weakened, she would have killed Lin Ping immediately.

She was just hoping the other members of the Nightmare Palace would appear soon, both to rescue her and to kill Lin Ping.

Lin Ping didn't think that way. You saved my life, so you are my benefactor. I, Lin Ping, am a person who will repay kindness. I will risk my life to take you away.

"What time is it? Why are you still worrying about these formalities? I'm a handsome and well-behaved young man, and you're not at a disadvantage." In his haste, Lin Ping ignored Zhang Yuelu's objections and put her on his shoulder again.

Zhang Yuelu had just regained some consciousness when she started feeling dizzy and lightheaded again, completely unable to resist.

"My name is Lin Ping. What's your name?" Lin Ping introduced himself as usual.

“Moon Dew!” the woman replied curtly.

Since they couldn't escape Lin Ping's grasp, they would have to continue deceiving him with their tricks.

"Moonlit Dew, what a refreshing and elegant name!" Lin Ping praised. If he hadn't been pressed for time, he would have definitely thought of a poem that suited the name.

"Smooth-talking, he's obviously not a good person," Zhang Yuelu said, turning her head.

"Where do you live? I'll take you home," Lin Ping continued to ask.

“It’s on that hilltop just ahead,” Zhang Yuelu said, pointing to a barren mountain several kilometers away.

"There?" Lin Ping asked, somewhat puzzled. "You don't live deep in the mountains, do you?"

“I’ve lived in the mountains with my master since I was a child, so naturally I have to live deep in the mountains and forests,” Zhang Yuelu said irritably.

"No wonder he has such strange strength, he's a savage." Lin Ping muttered to himself.

Lin Ping finally understood the reason for Zhang Yuelu's extraordinary skills: she was oblivious to the world around her, focusing solely on sword practice. She dedicated her entire life to one thing, making it difficult for her not to excel.

He was burdened by the hustle and bustle of the world; otherwise, he would be a top-notch master by now.

Lin Ping himself couldn't guess exactly how high it was.

"Wandering around outside alone in the middle of the night, your master really has a big heart," Lin Ping said sarcastically.

"Don't speak ill of Master." Zhang Yuelu pretended to be angry and said, "I am invincible in this area. I have killed several tigers. Master is naturally not worried. Who knew that we would run into you, a jinx."

Zhang Yuelu was going to make up a story so that Lin Ping would come to her.

“That’s right, male tigers are most afraid of female tigers,” Lin Ping said meaningfully.

As the leader of the Vermilion Bird Sect of the Nightmare Palace, Zhang Yuelu had been immersed in the martial world for many years, so how could she not understand his implied meaning?

But she had to maintain the image of a perfect couple and pretend not to understand. Anyway, once they got up the mountain, Lin Ping would walk right into her trap, and then she could torture him properly.

"I advise you to put me down now, or Master will not forgive you if he sees you like this," Zhang Yuelu threatened coldly.

According to the story she fabricated, she and her master had depended on each other for many years, and he must have treated her like his own daughter. He would definitely be furious to see her being carried by a strange man.

"We'll have to wait until we meet your master to talk about that," Lin Ping replied.

Based on Zhang Yuelu's statement, Lin Ping tacitly acknowledged that her master was so powerful that he wouldn't be afraid of those small fry from the Nightmare Palace.

Therefore, as long as the other party is found, his situation will be safe. As for how to explain it to the other party, it all depends on his clever words.

As they drew closer to the barren mountain, Zhang Yuelu fell silent, patiently waiting for Lin Ping to walk right into her trap.

"We've arrived, please put me down quickly," Zhang Yuelu said anxiously.

Lin Ping also noticed several dilapidated wooden houses a hundred meters away, which he assumed were where Zhang Yuelu and her master lived.

Realizing the opponent's formidable strength, Lin Ping immediately put Zhang Yuelu off his back before the opponent appeared.

Along the way, Zhang Yuelu kept absorbing Lin Ping's energy, making her meridians even more disordered, and she walked unsteadily.

Lin Ping gentlemanly supported Zhang Yuelu's arm, without any intention of intrusion.

"Hmph, brat, I'll tear you to pieces later," Zhang Yuelu thought through gritted teeth.

Thinking about the humiliation Lin Ping had infuriated her along the way, she was furious, but she had to endure it in order to conceal her identity.

"Senior, I've brought your disciple back safe and sound!" Lin Ping exclaimed, as if seeking credit. He was quite adept at this kind of preconceived explanation.

However, this voice was like a stone sinking into the sea, receiving no reply whatsoever.

"Huh? Do old people like to sleep in late too?" Lin Ping asked, full of doubt.

In his mind, the elderly should like to go to bed early and get up early, and since the sun was already high in the sky, the other person shouldn't still be sleeping.

In his haste, he ordered an X-ray, just to make sure the other person wasn't home.

When he saw the situation inside the room, he was immediately terrified. There was no master here, but four burly men, and all of them were familiar faces!
