Chapter 30: Lin Ritian’s Death

"Do you recognize me?" Qin Tian asked, amusement dancing in his eyes.

The old man, beads of sweat dotting his forehead, wrung his hands nervously. "The Divine Son jests. Who in the upper realm does not know of you? I am Lin Wuchen, tasked with tending to the horses within the Qin clan. I had the fortune of glimpsing the Divine Son from afar once."

With a half-smile, Qin Tian teased, "Ah, but weren't you the one with countless disciples, a reach that spans the heavens, controlling the fates of billions? What was it he called you? Ah, yes, the Lin family's War God Ancestor."

"Not at all, not at all. That was just me trying to save face in front of my descendants," the old man hurriedly demurred, his bravado now drained, revealing his true frightened state.

The common aspiration among those in the lower realms to ascend for a broader expanse of heaven and earth meets a harsh reality. Those who ascend often find themselves trapped in menial or dangerous tasks; some are forced into mining, others become fodder for conflict, and many end up as slaves. Despite being a prodigy in the Tiancang Realm, Lin Wuchen's talents were commonplace in the upper realm, relegating him to the lowest of positions.

Fortuitously, after nearly a century of mining, a conflict over mining rights allowed him to escape. A stroke of luck led him to the Qin clan, where he managed a stable, finding some measure of comfort in his new life. Yet, he never anticipated that his actions would offend Qin Tian, a being of unimaginable status, far beyond his reach. To even think of raising a hand against Qin Tian was akin to courting death.

"Since you are of my Qin clan, I'll spare you. Leave," Qin Tian stated indifferently.

With profuse thanks, the elder's image dissipated into a wisp of blue smoke.

Lin Ritian's mind was somewhat overwhelmed at this moment. This information was a huge blow to him. Their ancestor turned out to be someone who raised horses for their enemies!

He no longer had the determination and arrogance he had at the beginning. Qin Tian was truly terrifying, an entity he couldn't afford to provoke.

"Fan'er, hurry and escape... Huh?" Lin Ritian turned around and was stunned. There was no trace of Lin Fan on the ground; it turned out Lin Fan had fled at some point!

"Tsk tsk tsk, what did I say? Looks like you've been sold now?" Qin Tian chuckled.

Lin Ritian sat despondently on the ground, his face pale, and said, "I've lost..."

"Then you should die too. Rest assured on your journey."

"Hehe, dying by your hand isn't bad, but I believe Fan'er will avenge me."

"No, no, no, you've got it wrong. It's not me who will kill you, but her."

After Qin Tian finished speaking, a portal opened beside him, and a fiery figure stepped out from within. Yan Duo'er naturally wouldn't be wearing the specially tailored clothes by Qin Tian, but instead was dressed in her usual red robe.

Lin Ritian looked at Yan Duo'er in horror and instinctively exclaimed, "Madam... what are you doing here?"

"Shit can be eaten haphazardly, but words cannot be spoken carelessly," Qin Tian said as he pulled Yan Duo'er into his embrace. "She is MY wife."

Qin Tian stared mockingly at the now dumbfounded Lin Ritian, his eyes full of warning.

Yan Duo'er just stared blankly at him, her delicate body trembling faintly, tears streaming down uncontrollably. Her watery eyes were filled with confusion, disbelief, and deep pain, the sound of her tears echoing softly.

The sight made even Qin Tian feel a twinge of heartache. However, he only held her slender waist without offering any comfort.

Lin Ritian, now realizing the situation, saw his wife lying in another man's arms, and his eyes turned red. "You beast, let her go!"

He roared, the veins bulging on his neck, looking like a madman. How could his wife lie in another man's embrace? The title of cuckold, even in his death, he, the second young master of Lin Family, couldn't bear it!

"Why should I let her go? She is my wife. You didn't cherish her properly, so I'll take care of her," Qin Tian said, reaching out gently to wipe away Yan Duo'er's tears.

Lin Ritian stared at Yan Duo'er with wide eyes, his gaze intense.

"You?! What do you think you're doing? Don't you know you have a husband and a son?!" he demanded.

"Hahaha," Yan Duo'er laughed while crying. "After you've done such despicable things to me, you still have the nerve to call yourself my husband! What have I done wrong to you? Why do you treat me like this?" Tears flowed down her cheeks, her voice choked with emotion, but her glare was fierce and unyielding.

After listening, Lin Ritian was momentarily speechless. He gritted his teeth and said, "I was forced. Those things weren't true, Duo'er, please believe me."

"Forced? Tell me, how were you forced into that situation?" Yan Duo'er laughed bitterly, obviously not believing his lies.

Unable to hide the truth any longer, Lin Ritian's face turned as red as a pig's liver as he attempted to defend himself.

"Yes! I deceived you. I am not a good person. But even so, that doesn't justify you crying in his arms!" When Lin Ritian uttered these words, any lingering affection Yan Duo'er had for him vanished completely. 

She took a deep breath, halting her tears and crying. She looked at Lin Ritian with a faint expression. 

"The previous Yan Duo'er is dead, killed by someone heartless and unscrupulous."

"The present Yan Duo'er has been reborn, completely cutting ties with the past!"

"I was truly blind to have fallen for someone like you."

Seeing the opportunity ripe, Qin Tian extended his sleeve and wiped away the tear stains from her eyes. "This Lin Ritian is even worse than a beast. How can someone like him deserve you? From now on, just follow me obediently." 

As he spoke, he planted a firm kiss on her juicy red lips, then not only held her slender waist but also pulled her into his arms. One hand stroked her buttocks, while the other gently patted her beautiful back, as he said, "Don't be too sad. It's not worth it for someone like him. I'll make you happy in the future."

Yan Duo'er didn't resist. Sensing Qin Tian's dishonest hands, she glanced at Lin Ritian and thoughts of revenge bloomed in her heart. Nestling into Qin Tian embrace like a helpless weak woman, she said, "Yes, I will listen to my husband. Since I've been reborn and given my first time to my husband, I am naturally only my husband's woman."

As she spoke, she took Qin Tian's hand and slipped it under her clothes. Her face flushed, her breath fragrant, as she coquettishly said, "Husband, you're so young and talented. Being your woman is my blessing. And your thing is much better than that old dog's."

"Ah!!! Despicable scoundrels, adulterers, both of you!" Lin Ritian couldn't bear it anymore, he shouted hoarsely, "I understand now, you two conspired from the beginning, you whore, you damn whore!"

Qin Tian's eyes flashed, and his spiritual power flew out, so powerful and thick that it directly conjured into the shape of a dagger and slit Lin Ritian's throat. Now, he could only make incoherent noises on the ground, like a dying dog.

"Is my woman something that you can scold?" Qin Tian snorted. 

Suddenly, he looked at him with pity in his eyes, mocking, "But there's one thing you've misunderstood. I might have used despicable means to get Duo'er, but she never yielded. She always believed in you, even when I had my way with her, she moaned your name, hoping for your rescue, and you~"

As Qin Tian spoke, Yan Duo'er in his arms pouted and punched his chest lightly, her pretty face blushing.

Lin Ritian mind buzzed as he stared blankly at Yan Duo'er.

"What are you looking at? Yan Duo'er is my woman now. Don't get any ideas. I've marked her womb with my seed more than once. She has long been imprinted with my essence," Qin Tian said, gently caressing Yan Duo'er's abdomen.

After hearing Qin Tian's words, Lin Ritian's body trembled as if he had epilepsy. His eyes widened, not just bloodshot this time, but tears of blood actually flowed!

"Duo'er, step aside, let me finish this," Qin Tian said softly.

Yan Duo'er remained silent for a moment, then gently shook her head, saying, "Husband, let me handle this matter myself."

"Alright, but don't force yourself," Qin Tian said.

"I know," Yan Duo'er replied lightly. She loosened away from Qin Tian's embrace and walked towards Lin Ritian step by step with her long, slender legs. With a wave, Halberd of Tyranny appeared in her hand.

In Lin Ritian's terrified gaze, Yan Duo'er stood in front of him, looking down at him. She coldly raised the Halberd of Tyranny and said, "Even though you betrayed me, I never had any intention of taking revenge from beginning to end. I loved you so much back then. If you wanted me to sacrifice myself, you just needed to ask, and I wouldn't have refused. But now, you are my husband's enemy, and by extension, my enemy too!"

With that, she thrust the Halberd into Lin Ritian's chest, anticlimactically ending his life. Then Yan Duo'er grasped the Halberd and tapped the ground, causing a large patch of Sunfire Flowers to grow instantly. Countless roots and vines emerged from the ground, dragging Lin Ritian's body underground, becoming fertilizer for the Sunfire Flowers.

[Ding! Host's companion killed Lin Ritian. Protagonist Lin Fan's Destiny Points -800. Villain Points +8000]

[Ding! Protagonist Lin Fan's Destiny Points have been extinguished. Host can now kill him without any backlash.]

A cold smile appeared on Qin Tian's lips. The next time they met would be the end of Lin Fan. He walked over to Yan Duo'er, embraced her, and said, "Don't be sad, let me, your husband, comfort you."

With a lecherous laugh, he held Yan Duo'er in his arms and took a step, disappearing on the spot.

Meanwhile, on the outskirts of the Spirit Beast Forest, Lin Fan ran wildly with a smug smile on his face. After fighting with Qin Tian, the four fan-shaped iron pieces in his arms unexpectedly fused into a scale, not only saving his life but also revealing a secret unknown to anyone else!

According to the information recorded in the scale, he could easily obtain an inheritance. By then, he could even ascend directly. At that time, Qin Tian would be as good as dead at his hands!

What? 

What about Lin Ritian? 

Who's that? 

He really doesn't know him!
