"Qingyi, I'm searching the city for Zhou Hong, and I happened to pass by this area. I saw the light in your room was still on, so I came down to check on you."
"Oh, thank you, Uncle, for your concern."
"You're welcome. By the way, I heard a man's voice in your room just now."
"This...!" Lian Qingyi knew she couldn't hide it any longer. She could only lower her head, blushing, and say, "Yes, there was indeed a man. I am a woman after all, so I couldn't resist for a moment...!" Lian Qingyi wanted to say she had brought back a wild man, but she dared not say such a thing.
"Heh, this doesn't sound like you."
"Uncle doesn't really know me. Everyone has a side that others don't see. Alright, Uncle, I want to rest. You should go and attend to your business."
However, the City Lord did not leave. Instead, he said, "What about the man you brought back? Why isn't he coming out to pay his respects to me?"
"He... he's too shy."
"He dares to sleep with my niece, and he's still shy? Hurry up and let him out. I want to see what kind of man can make you bring him back to your room in the middle of the night."
"Uncle...!" Lian Qingyi looked very troubled.
"Hurry up."
"I'm sorry, Uncle, I don't want to reveal his appearance. I've already taken him into my sub-world. He usually lives in my sub-world, and I only let him out when I need him." Lian Qingyi gritted her teeth and said shamelessly. At this moment, she couldn't care less; the most important thing was to get rid of her uncle quickly.
"Hahaha, 'take him out when needed.' Do you think he's some kind of puppet rooster? I think you're just afraid to let me see him." The City Lord's expression suddenly changed, and a hint of anger appeared on his face.
"Uncle, what do you mean?"
"Hmph, are you still trying to hide something?" The City Lord snorted angrily.
Lian Qingyi was a little worried, but she was also afraid that her uncle was just bluffing, pretending to have discovered something when he hadn't.
"Uncle, there's really nothing. Please respect me. I'm grown up and need my own space."
"Qingyi, I didn't expect you to treat your uncle like this. Do you think your uncle is brainless? You probably don't know that Uncle has a skill."
"What skill?"
"Uncle can tell if a woman is still a virgin. The last time I was here, I smelled a peculiar scent on your bed. I didn't realize it at the time, but later I understood that it was a man's scent. However, a few days ago, I discovered that you were still a virgin. What does that tell you?"
"Uncle, I don't know what you're trying to say. It's so late, and it's not appropriate for a man and a woman to be alone. I hope you'll leave quickly."
"Qingyi, you are no longer a virgin. Yet, when I ask you to show me that man, you're being evasive. Could it be that the man you're hiding is the Zhou Hong I'm looking for?"
"Uncle, don't talk nonsense." Lian Qingyi panicked immediately.
"Hmph, Qingyi, if it's not him, then bring that person out of your sub-world and let me see him with my own eyes. If it's really not him, I will naturally leave."
Lian Qingyi was extremely frustrated. Besides Zhou Hong, there was no one else alive in her sub-world. Otherwise, she could have easily found someone to impersonate him.
Zhou Hong, inside Lian Qingyi's sub-world, could also hear their conversation outside. Lian Qingyi had intentionally let Zhou Hong hear it.
It was a pity that Zhou Hong couldn't do anything. Otherwise, Zhou Hong could have taken a man out of his sub-world and sent him out to impersonate. But Zhou Hong was in someone else's world and couldn't open his own sub-world.
"Is it possible that I'll be exposed today?" Zhou Hong thought to himself.
"Hurry up, let me see him." The City Lord roared. Seeing Lian Qingyi hesitate, he felt something was wrong.
"Uncle...!"
"Don't call me Uncle. If that's the case, then don't blame me for being heartless. Let me be blunt. I've been coveting your sub-world for a long time. Today, it will be mine." The City Lord finally showed his fangs. No wonder he often came here late at night.
"Uncle, are you serious?"
"Hmph, if it weren't for the sake of you being my niece, I would have killed you long ago and snatched your sub-world. The only reason you've lived this long is out of my benevolence."
Lian Qingyi quickly retreated. At this moment, she felt a strong killing intent.
"Uncle, no wonder you often come to my place at night. So you've had this plan for a long time."
"Isn't that obvious? It's just a pity that for the sake of my deceased sister, I never made a move against you. Several times, I stood at your door, hesitated, and struggled. Today, I'm taking action."
At this moment, Zhou Hong, in Lian Qingyi's sub-world, was also filled with tension. If Lian Qingyi were killed, his sub-world would be wiped clean, and everything within it would be erased, including Zhou Hong.
"I've got to be kidding me, how could this happen?" Zhou Hong cursed furiously. This wolf in sheep's clothing had finally revealed his true colors. Zhou Hong had said before that the City Lord coming here late at night was definitely not for any good reason.
"Lian Qingyi, quickly let me out," Zhou Hong shouted.
But Lian Qingyi didn't let Zhou Hong out, because even if he were let out, it would be his death.
"Zhou Hong, it's useless. Even if you come out, you'll die. Neither of us can escape today," Lian Qingyi said, crying.
"Whether it's useful or not, we have to try." Zhou Hong also knew that even if he were let out, he wouldn't be able to escape from a demon king like the City Lord. It seemed he was really going to die here. Sudan Fiction Network.
Zhou Hong was filled with regret. Perhaps this was the price of lust.
At this moment, Lian Qingyi said, "Zhou Hong, at this point, my death is certain. But you still have a sliver of hope for escape."
"What hope for escape?" Zhou Hong asked urgently.
"You have a sub-world, and I have a sub-world. The moment I am killed, you will immediately inherit my sub-world. Then, your strength will surge instantly in a short period. At that time, if you catch him off guard, you might be able to injure the City Lord. If you succeed, it might give you a chance to escape."
"Lian Qingyi, you...!" Zhou Hong was very sad.
"I have no possibility of surviving. Rather than having my sub-world snatched by my uncle, I'd rather give it to you. Goodbye, Zhou Hong. I'm honored to have met you in this life. Before I die, I've become a true woman, and that's enough." Lian Qingyi's voice was filled with sorrow.
