After becoming a villain, the heroine overheard my thoughts

Chapter 144 The leaky little cotton-padded jacket

this moment.

The entire City Lord's Mansion suddenly became so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.

The expression on the square face of Luo Cheng, the lord of Liangjie City, became cold and gloomy at a speed visible to the naked eye.

But after all, it was his daughter who said this, so he tried to control his anger and soften his voice, saying, "Bing'er, tell me honestly, did this He say something to you in private that made you suddenly make this decision?"

what?

He Yuan, who was standing by, was stunned upon hearing this.

What do you mean by what I said to your daughter in private that made her suddenly decide to break off the engagement?

You, old comrade, have a problem with your thinking. What's the point of speculating about me, He Yuan, with the utmost malicious intent and trying to find excuses for your own daughter?

This is a manifestation of pride and prejudice!

Fortunately, Luo Bing's next words directly helped He Yuan out of the predicament, saying: "Father, this matter has nothing to do with He Yuan. It was entirely my daughter's own decision."

"Bing'er, you..."

Hearing this, Luo Cheng's face immediately showed a regretful expression, he sighed and said: "You are so stupid, you know that now all the humans and monsters in the city know about your wedding, the daughter of the City Lord's Mansion, and the guests attending the wedding in my City Lord's Mansion are almost all the bigwigs of the various races in the Two Realms City.

"But at such a critical moment, you actually announced that the wedding was off. Who would dare to propose to you in the future?"

however.

After listening to Luo Cheng's earnest sigh, Luo Bing raised her head stubbornly, and the expression in her pretty eyes became unusually firm. She said, "Father, I refuse this wedding not because I don't want to marry Mr. He. As for the real reason, I believe you know it very well."

"so!"

She said with a serious face, "From now on, there will be no such thing as what father said, where other people will propose to my daughter. Because from now on, my daughter's heart will no longer have room for other people."

Having said that, she glanced secretly in the direction of He Yuan.

However, her actions were basically seen by the guests in the City Lord's Mansion.

Everyone couldn't help but look around at each other.

They saw it very clearly. It was obvious that the city lord's daughter had feelings for the human boy. But why did the city lord's daughter change her mind midway through their wedding?

As for this point, I am afraid that only He Yuan, Luo Bing and Luo Cheng, the parties involved, know the whole story.

Let’s talk about He Yuan.

He never thought that Luo Bing would go to such lengths for him!

She broke off the engagement in public, contradicted her father, and threatened that she would never marry again...

This was like she was throwing her father, the Lord of Liangjie City, on the ground and rubbing his face hard just for an outsider like herself!

It seems that the relationship between this father and daughter is getting worse and worse.

He Yuan sighed and said, "Lord Luo, I believe you have heard the saying that a forced melon is not sweet. Some things cannot be forced. Only by letting them develop naturally and letting things fall into place naturally can good results emerge."

"Shut up!"

But Luo Cheng couldn't stand it anymore and suddenly glared at He Yuan fiercely.

That expression seemed to be saying, the reason why my father and I are in this situation is all because of you, an outsider. Now you dare to talk nonsense to me?

He Yuan secretly touched the nine-pattern stone seal that Luo Bing had secretly stuffed into his sleeve, and thought to himself, for the sake of this thing, I, He, will not bother with you.

But we can't just let this father and daughter remain in this stalemate, right?

then.

After a moment's silence, he continued, "For this matter, I, He Yuan, owe you, the He family, a favor. When I have the chance in the future, I will definitely pay you back with interest."

That’s it for now.

Not only Luo Cheng, the Lord of Liangjie City, but all the guests invited by Luo Cheng heard it. Perhaps, today's wedding banquet will end here.

as predicted.

next moment.

Luo Cheng looked around at the guests with a hint of apology in his eyes and said, "Everyone, there was a small problem at the wedding of my daughter and son-in-law. So I'm sorry, everyone please go back home first. After I finish dealing with my family affairs, I will apologize to each of you one by one."

Hearing this, everyone bowed to Luo Cheng and took their leave.

It didn't take long.

In the huge City Lord's Mansion, only He Yuan, Luo Cheng and his daughter, and some servants of the City Lord's Mansion were left.

Luo Cheng waved his hand to dismiss the servants, then his cold eyes swept back and forth between He Yuan and Luo Bing's faces, and said, "Explain why you chose to cancel the wedding in front of everyone today? Since neither of you planned to get married, you could have just refused two days ago. That way, I could have informed the guests in advance and avoided such an embarrassing scene today."

"I……"

Luo Bing stammered and subconsciously grasped the hem of her skirt with her pink fists. She mustered up the courage to look up at her father, but was frightened by the sharp gaze in Luo Cheng's eyes and quickly lowered her head.

He Yuan was actually somewhat confused about Luo Bing's actions today.

especially.

How this little princess of the demon clan obtained the nine-pattern stone seal controlled by Luo Cheng has always puzzled him.

Normally, an object like the Nine-Pattern Stone Seal, which symbolizes the power of the City Lord's Mansion, would definitely be hidden by Luo Cheng in a very secret place. Not to mention that he would have to hide it from his daughter, at least he would not let Luo Bing get it easily.

At this time, even He Yuan could see the unnaturalness in Luo Bing's expression, let alone Luo Cheng, the lord of a city!

His eyes narrowed, and he was about to scold his daughter sharply.

But in the blink of an eye, he seemed to have thought of something, so the solemn expression on his face instantly weakened a little, and his voice softened, saying: "Bing'er, your father knows that this He Yuan cured your tuberculosis with his own strength and snatched you back from the hands of the King of Hell. So you are grateful to him and even have some admiration for him."

"only!"

At this point, he suddenly changed the subject and said, "Whether you are grateful or in love with He Yuan, at least for now, this He is still just an outsider to you. I am your only relative in this world. So, if there is anything, you must not hide it from your father."

"Father, daughter..."

Luo Bing's expression couldn't help but tense up, and it was obvious that she was touched by Luo Cheng's emotional play.

She suddenly raised her head and glanced in the direction of He Yuan. Her expression became extremely complicated. She bit her lips tightly with her pearly teeth, then she opened her mouth and said, "Father, I did lie to you, because I thought that on the wedding day, you would focus most of your energy on entertaining these guests and would not care about the Two Worlds Cave in the side wing of the inner courtyard, so..."

She paused, raised her head and secretly glanced at her father's face. Seeing that he remained expressionless and showed no signs of sadness or joy, she became bolder and said, "So I took the opportunity to sneak into the Two Realms Cave where you usually meditate and practice, and stole the Earth-level technique "Five Thunder Art" that you treasured, intending to give it to Mr. He..."

As she spoke, she shook her right sleeve, and suddenly, on her snow-white palm, there appeared an ancient martial arts book with yellowed pages.

As expected, the cover had three large characters in ancient seal script: "Five Thunder Decisions" written on it.

Luo Bing held the book "Five Thunder Art" in front of Luo Cheng with both hands, pretending to be pitiful, and said: "Originally, my daughter planned to secretly give it to Mr. He after the wedding was ruined today. Unfortunately, father, you have a keen eye and can see at a glance what my daughter is hiding, so my daughter has no choice but to tell me everything."

After Luo Bing explained what she had done, her father Luo Cheng didn't react. However, He Yuan at the side couldn't help but widen his pupils, and a strange look suddenly appeared in his eyes when he looked at the little princess of the demon clan.

"Wonderful!"

He couldn't help but secretly praise her in his heart: "Little Princess, you really understand the way of pretending to be real and pretending to be fake! You clearly entered your father's cave this time and stole two items, one is the Five Thunder Art, and the other is the Nine-Pattern Stone Seal. Now you openly admit in front of your father that you took the Five Thunder Art, and cleverly concealed the seal."

But there was one thing he was really curious about.

That is, how did the little princess of the demon clan in front of him know that he urgently needed to obtain the nine-pattern stone seal?

Let’s talk about Luo Bing.

Naturally, every word of He Yuan's inner thoughts just expressed by her came into her ears without missing a single word.

Therefore.

After hearing what He Yuan said, she couldn't help but clench her fists secretly, thinking to herself, wasn't the reason I did this just to satisfy your needs, Mr. He?

"You...you can't make up stories about me like this, otherwise, I will call you a conscienceless...villain!"

Fortunately, He Yuan was unable to eavesdrop on the thoughts of the city lord's daughter.

otherwise.

He was afraid that he would be killed by Luo Bing's shy and timid little girl mentality!

Compared to He Yuan and Luo Bing, the young couple, who were easily teasing each other in their hearts, Luo Cheng, the lord of Liangjie City, was undoubtedly in a much heavier mood at this moment.

Girls are outgoing!

He had already prepared himself mentally for this.

But even so, he never expected that his daughter would go to such lengths for a foreign boy whom he had only known for half a month!

"Five Thunder Decision"!

That was the unique skill that Luo Cheng was most proud of in his life, and he stole it from his own daughter so openly and prepared to give it to her.

Moreover, he was so smart as to choose to do it secretly on the day when she got married to the human boy, while his father was concentrating on entertaining the guests.

Most importantly.

When the wedding reached a critical moment, she suddenly took the initiative to announce the cancellation of her wedding with the human boy.

In other words.

The person that her daughter was planning to give the Five Thunder Art to ended up being a foreigner who had nothing to do with her...

If his cultivation wasn't high enough, Luo Cheng would have been so angry that he would have wanted to vomit blood on the spot.

What kind of daughter did I give birth to?

People say daughters are like cotton-padded jackets.

Not only is my little cotton-padded jacket leaking air, but it also lets in strong winds!

But Luo Cheng probably could not have imagined in his dreams that this "Five Thunder Art" was just a trick used by Luo Bing to stabilize him, and the real thunder was the nine-pattern stone seal that she secretly stuffed into He Yuan's sleeve.

If the Lord of Liangjie City knew that the seal he used to govern Liangjie City was stolen by his daughter and given to He Yuan, a human boy, he would probably no longer think that his little cotton-padded jacket was as simple as a strong wind, right?

Then it would be full of holes!

Luo Cheng took the copy of "Five Thunder Secrets" and said calmly, "Bing'er, have you really never let anyone else see this copy of "Five Thunder Secrets"?"

Speaking of the word "outsider", he deliberately glanced at He Yuan standing beside him, and his intention was naturally self-evident.

Seeing this, He Yuan touched his nose and said nothing.

Luo Bing nodded vigorously and said, "Father, there is a restriction you placed on the cover of the Five Thunder Art. You can check to see if what your daughter said is true."

Hear the words.

He Yuan nodded slightly and injected a stream of spiritual energy into the cover of the Five Thunder Art. After realizing that the restriction he had set was not broken, he said with a slightly relieved expression, "Okay, since you haven't let anyone else see the Five Thunder Art, I won't bother with this matter. As for this marriage, if you don't agree, just forget about it. It's your fault that I was a little too impatient."

immediately.

He just turned around and looked at He Yuan next to him with a kind face again, saying: "Little brother, now that your marriage with my daughter has failed, it can only be said that your destiny has not yet arrived. Well, but since you are my daughter's savior, the conditions I promised you before still count. I wonder what your plans are next?"

After listening to Luo Cheng's words, He Yuan said seriously: "My Lord, the sect competition of Wanxian Sect is approaching, so I am going to return to the sect immediately. When I have the chance in the future, I will come to Liangjie City to visit the Lord and Miss Bing'er."

"Ah? You...are you leaving now?"

Luo Bing subconsciously raised her head and looked at him reluctantly.

Luo Cheng touched his chin but did not speak.

He Yuan nodded helplessly and said, "I have been away from the sect for quite some time this time, and the sect competition is coming up soon, so I must set off back as soon as possible."

After hearing what He Yuan said, Luo Bing opened her cherry lips, wanting to ask him to stay, but she didn't know where to start.

after all.

If their wedding could be successfully held, then at this time, they would be a legitimate couple, and it would be reasonable for her to ask He Yuan to stay now.

Unfortunately, their wedding was only halfway through when she stopped it.

Therefore, now, she and He Yuan are two strangers who have nothing to do with each other. What can she do to keep each other?

As if seeing the loneliness in Luo Bing's beautiful eyes, He Yuan comforted her, "It's not like we're leaving right away. I can still stay in Liangjie City for a day or two. However, there is an important matter that I need to deal with urgently."
