Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Xu Bai looked at Zuo Lei’s gloomy face, and his expression turned strange.

It seemed like…

When Zuo Lei mentioned that Su Ruyu was not dead, the anger in his heart exploded uncontrollably.

Why?

Suddenly, Xu Bai raised his eyebrows.

“Wait a minute, this price, death? Are you sure?”

“I’m sure!”

Zuo Lei responded in a deep voice, “Su Mingli, that old thing, was never destined to reach the Nascent Soul Stage. The only reason he did was because he had spied on the secrets of the heavens and found the force that was barely even alive. He obtained a chance of survival. Naturally, the remaining nine deaths were the price he had to pay.”

Xu Bai rubbed his chin.

“I understand. You mean that the person who bears this karma for Su Mingli has no chance of survival, right?”

“The Karma of the Nascent Soul must die!”

“But Su Ruyu didn’t die.”

“Yeah, she’s not dead!”

Xu Bai looked at Zuo Lei, who was mumbling to himself wondering why she was still alive, and raised his eyebrows.

He didn’t know the Heavenly Secrets Technique.

However, he had heard Su Meng briefly explain to him that according to the standard of the price of the Heavenly Secrets Technique, Su Mingli, who should have failed to advance to the Nascent Soul Realm, had spied on the heavenly secrets and avoided his own death to advance to the Nascent Soul Realm.

Then, there was a loophole.

This loophole needed to be closed.

A life for a life.

According to the standard price, since Su Ruyu bore the karma for Su Mingli, there was no doubt that Su Ruyu would die on the spot in Su Mingli’s place. As a result, the karma of the nine deaths of the Nascent Soul descended.

Su Ruyu was not dead.

so…

Who had died?

Wait a minute.

A thought seemed to come into Xu Bail s mind. He looked at Zuo Lei and said, “Do you mean to say…”

Zuo Lei looked at Xu Bai and interrupted, “It seems like you understand. That’s right. They planned all of this. The Su family played me like a ridiculous monkey.”

Xu Bai expression seemed to be agitated again. The veins on his forehead bulged. Seeing that Zuo Lei was about to explode, he quickly said, “Don’t be agetated’.

Even if you have a cerebral hemorrhage, it won’t be too late to wait to do it until you answer my question.

Zuo Lei did not care. His aura was chaotic as he roared, “They planned all of this. They wanted to use the bastard in Su Ruyu’s womb to shield this old thing, Su Mingli.”

Xu Bai shook his head. “Once again, you’re not completely infertile.

Theoretically speaking, you can have a child, so without any evidence…”

Zuo Lei said in a deep voice, “Didn’t you hear what I said? The price of spying on the heavenly secrets is something that only those who are related by blood can bear. If he’s really my child, the blood of the Zuo family flows in his veins. How can he shield that old thing Su Mingli?”

Xu Bai looked at Zuo Lei suspiciously. “Even if your child has your blood in his veins, he should have Su Ruyu’s blood in his veins too, right? Didn’t you study biology back in school?”

Zuo Lei clenched his fists tightly and his breathing was chaotic.

“What if I said that, at that time, I hadn’t slept with Su Ruyu for a year?”

. What?”

“I’m the son-in-law, Agent Xu!”

Zuo Lei smiled bitterly.”You should know about our son-in-law’s situation, right?”

Xu Bai didn’t say anything. He just nodded.

Although the Federation had already abolished the slave system, the system of a son-in-law had never been abolished. Moreover, the son-in-law system itself could only be considered an unspoken rule and not a formal system.

To put it simply…

In the era when servants were legal, the status of a son-in-law was actually only slightly better than that of a servant. In fact, some sons-in-law might not even have a higher status than servants.

Zuo Lei chuckled. “A son-in-law who was found to be infertile with an 80% chance of not having children. In other words, he has lost all his value. I thought Ruyu was different. For her, I could have become a son-in-law, but I was wrong.”

Xu Bai didn’t say anything. He was still trying to figure out the timeline.

Transcend!

The more he thought about it, the more numb he felt.

They hadn’t slept together for a year, but now, Su Ruyu was already six months pregnant?

Hiss!

Xu Bai inhaled sharply.

If Zuo Lei wasn’t lying, then it basically confirmed one thing.

Su Ruyu had had an affair.

It was set in stone!

But… “That’s not right.”

“What?”

When Zou Lei heard this, a trance of violence flashed across his eyes. He looked at Xu Bai and said, “As expected, you’re just like the rest of them. You don’t believe me!”

Xu Bai shook his head.

“No, I believe that you’re not lying.”

Really?”

“No one lies to me.”

Xu Bai looked at Zuo Lei expressionlessly, an inexplicable expression on his face, and said in a deep voice, “I’m sure of what you said about not having slept with Su Ruyu for a year. I believe you, but there are still a few questions that I want to know the answers to.”

Zuo Lei seemed to have gotten someone’s affirmation for the first time. He nodded and urged in a deep voice.

“Ask me.”

“How’s your relationship with Su Ruyu?”

“What?”

Xu Bai looked at Zuo Lei. “There are only two types of sons-in-law. Those who want to live off a woman, and those who are willing to do anything for her.

Which category do you belong to?”

Zuo Lei opened his mouth. He could not help but recall the little moments he had shared with Su Ruyu. Now, the sweet memories of the past were filled with pain.

“The… the latter!”

“How has your relationship been after marriage?”

“Hmm?”

Xu Bai looked at Zuo Lei, who had raised his head to look at him again. He extended his hands and spoke as a relationship expert. “Regardless of gender, there are two kinds of motives for cheating. One is emotional, and the other is material. The Su family is a wealthy family in Feng City. It is obviously impossible for her to have an affair for material reasons, so it must be for love. Emotional affairs can be summed up in two points. The first is that you hate each other. Although you are ugly when compared to me, you are still very good-looking when compared to others.”

He was telling the truth.

If being handsome was considered a crime, he was already unpardonable.

As for Zuo Lei?

Compared to Xu Bai, Zuo Lei was simply asking to be humiliated. However, compared to others, like Su Bancheng, Zuo Lei was much more manly.

This was the word of justice.

The kind that didn’t have a bias or a predetermined standpoint.

“So, if you have no problem with your appearance, then there’s only one possibility.”

“What?”

“You can’t!”

“Bullshit!”

Hearing this, Zuo Lei jumped. His face was red and his veins were bulging. “I’m very, very good. I can do it for an hour without foreplay.” Xu Bai remained unmoved and glanced at Zuo Lei.

Heh.

I believe you.

I’m so talented that I can only shoot for an hour and a half.

“A 50% discount?”

…20% off!”

“Seven…”

Xu Bai raised his hand. “Understood. No foreplay. Twenty minutes is enough.” Men would always boast about themselves when it came to such matters.

Xu Bai could understand. After all, not everyone was as talented as him. But…

No matter what, twenty minutes without foreplay was considered passable.

Xu Bai rubbed his chin and looked at Zuo Lei thoughtfully. “By the way, why did you and Su Ruyu sleep separately back then? Was it because you were too young? You’re a son-in-law, but you’re not the type to live off a woman. Besides, you said yourself that there were no problems in your relationship with Su Ruyu before, right?”

Zuo Lei sat down again, clutching his head with a pained expression.

“I don’t know.”

“Then why the bed separation?”

“After she found out that I might not be fertile, she returned to the Millan Manor. Once she came back, she comforted me and told me not to worry. She would find a way to resolve it and definitely give me a child. It’s just that we couldn’t share a bed anymore”

“…Different beds for your child?”

Xu Bai was slightly taken aback. “How can you have a child while sleeping in different beds?”

Zuo Lei shook his head in pain.

“I didn’t pay much attention to it at that time. After all, you know the Su family. Perhaps they have special capabilities that we don’t understand. But it turned out that…”

“What?”

“Once, when I returned home and walked through the bedroom door, I saw Su Ruyu lying on the bed, holding Su Bancheng’s hand and asking about the child nervously. When they saw that I had returned, they immediately shut up. No matter how much I asked Su Ruyu about it afterward, she just told me not to ask.”

Xu Bai blinked. His rationality urged him not to ask any more questions, but he still wanted to know.

“And then?”

“And then?”

Zuo Lei smiled. It was not a happy smile, but one of extreme anger. With a swoosh, he looked up at Xu Bai and said, “After that, Su Ruyu naturally became pregnant, and now she is six months pregnant. Do you think that it’s mine?”

Xu Bai shook his head honestly. “From a biological point of view, it’s impossible. But from a scientific point of view, it’s still possible.”

Zuo Lei laughed crazily.

“Hahaha, it’s still possible? What’s possible?”

“You just have a low sperm count, you’re not completely infertile. If you go

with science, you might have one or two active sperms. Speaking of which, didn’t you ask further after the incident?”

“I did.”

“What is Su Ruyu say”

“She said that I don’t believe her!”

“Uh…

Xu Bai was speechless.

He had no choice.

Su Ruyu’s answer had practically completely blocked any possible response.

Zuo Lei looked at Xu Bai’s expression and smiled bitterly. He slowly stood up straight, his expression mad and his breath surging.

“After I questioned her again and again, she called me unreasonable and ran back to the Su Family’s manor. She even promised me again and again that this was my child, but is that possible? I’m not sure, therefore, I want an answer. I only have myself to blame for becoming the son-in-law, but my Zuo family will never be humiliated. I have endured humiliation for 21 years in the Grand Desolate World. This time, I came back for answers. If they don’t give them to me, I’ll find them myself!”
