Chapter 448: Guo Fu Fears Being Beaten to Death
"Why?"
Little Dragon Girl glanced sideways, puzzled, her pair of cold, clear eyes devoid of any impurity, making it obvious at first sight that she was an innocent and extremely pure young woman:
"Anything my husband wants to know, I will tell him. I feel there’s nothing I need to hide from him."
Huang Rong listened, moved, and couldn’t help but engage in a thoughtful conversation with her.
The more they talked,
the more Huang Rong was convinced of her earlier guess.
This Little Dragon Girl was indeed just as Hong Qigong had described.
Even more charming and innocent than Hong Qigong had said.
Huang Rong sighed in her heart, how could such a girl be a villain?
There must be some hidden truth about the incident at Shaolin Temple.
Thinking of this, she couldn’t resist asking.
Little Dragon Girl did not hide, she simply said:
"Those Shaolin High Monks accused my husband of stealing their True Scripture. But we had just arrived at the foot of Mount Songh, we never even ascended the mountain, how could we have stolen the True Scripture?
They didn’t believe it..."
Little Dragon Girl’s voice was as clear and cool as a mountain spring crossing a stream, exceptionally pleasant and melodious.
When she spoke, she did not exaggerate, one meant one, two meant two, straightforward and forthright, pure and unclouded.
Huang Rong, after listening to her, was momentarily dumbfounded, considering:
"If it’s truly as Little Dragon Girl says, then Ding Ling’s furious massacre can be understood. Alas. Initially thought Ding Ling was the Great Demon, but now it seems, Ding Ling isn’t one to make trouble for no reason or murder without cause.
He is actually a very principled and righteous person.
Such a person being appreciated by the old Gang Leader is quite logical. But is Little Dragon Girl seeing a Xi Shi through her lover’s eyes?"
Huang Rong tested again.
She was clever, quick-witted, and shrewd to the extreme.
How could this super recluse, super innocent Little Dragon Girl be her match?
In just a few exchanges, everything she had was laid bare, every word spoken clearly and completely.
Huang Rong got her answer and couldn’t help but sigh.
She thought to herself:
"From Little Dragon Girl’s words and expressions, one can tell she truly has deep affection for Ding Ling! Adoration to the extreme! And her interactions and encounters with Ding Ling were all shared openly.
It’s rather clear.
Ding Ling is frank and straightforward, decisive in action!
He lacked any baseness or vileness, and when Little Dragon Girl was severely injured, he didn’t take advantage to do anything sordid. It was even Little Dragon Girl who pursued him actively.
Obviously, Ding Ling is indeed not bad at all. It’s just that his inclination towards violence is a bit too pronounced."
And it is this decisiveness towards violence.
That made Huang Rong quite apprehensive and cautious.
In other aspects, Ding Ling is neither humble nor arrogant, courteous and proper, cheerful and magnanimous, straightforward as a winnowing fan, in no way inferior to a typical gentleman or overlord.
This deeply impressed Huang Rong.
However, this tendency toward violence, Huang Rong found hard to agree with.
Yet thinking of the current chaotic world, it indeed needs someone like Ding Ling, who is decisive in action, to restore order, so she sighed again, getting a bit lost in thought:
"Does the old Gang Leader see this as well, which is why he wants Ding Ling to assist us?"
Thinking this,
she thought of the Wu Brothers, Wu Santong, Guo Fu, and others.
Unable to resist, she bade farewell to Little Dragon Girl, and went inside the courtyard to find Guo Fu, Ke Zhen’e, and others, specifically instructing them.
Guo Fu was extremely frustrated, having been publicly scolded by Huang Rong, and now being reprimanded privately, she couldn’t help but feel discontent, saying crisply:
"Mother, what is there to fear about Ding Ling? You are the Hero Guo revered across Jiuzhou, and one of the most famous Gang Leaders of the Beggar Gang. My grandfather is one of the Five Extremes in Martial Arts, Island Master of Peach Blossom Island.
In this world, who is there that we need to fear or be cautious of?! Ding Ling? He doesn’t deserve that!"
Ke Zhen’e said nothing nearby, only sighing somewhat gloomily. Obviously, not speaking out to rebuke or criticize Ding Ling was something exceedingly frustrating and unpleasant for him!
"What do you know?!"
Huang Rong glared, chastising:
"If I don’t stop you in time, offending Ding Ling, even ten lives wouldn’t be enough for him to spare."
"Would he dare kill me?!"
Guo Fu did not believe it:
"With my father and mother, and my grandfather around, would he dare to act?!"
"Don’t be skeptical."
Huang Rong shook her head, her expression complex as she said:
"Ding Ling is indeed one of the most rare strongmen in the world, let alone your father, mother, and grandfather. Even if more people came, they would likely be defeated by him."
"How could he be that strong?!"
Guo Fu’s face changed dramatically, unbelieving:
"Mother, it’s one thing for Father to say that, but why are you saying it too?! Is he really that scary?"
"He is extremely frightening!"
Huang Rong affirmed:
"Do you know how formidable Kublai’s subordinate Kebineng of Mongolia is? In just a few days, he accomplished great feats, winning several major victories! Yet such a character, leading over ten thousand elite troops and countless martial arts heroes,
was still killed by Ding Ling..."
Huang Rong meticulously recounted the process.
She had heard bits from the Little Dragon Girl and gathered more information from elsewhere.
Consolidating it all together.
’Processed’ ’turned into’ ’a work of art’!
At this moment, with her inflection and tone, it was like a storyteller narrating a tale.
Guo Fu and Ke Zhen’e listened in a daze.
The Wu Brothers, not far off, also listened clearly, and could not help but be so frightened they almost rolled onto the ground.
They truly hadn’t expected Ding Ling to be so fierce and terrifying!
Guo Fu, after listening, turned pale as paper, somewhat frightened, rather fearful, yet somewhat disbelieving:
"How could there be such a terrifying person in the world?"
"That’s just how it is."
Huang Rong sighed:
"If I hadn’t heard it with my own ears, I wouldn’t believe it either."
"Is that what the Little Dragon Girl said?"
Guo Fu pouted and said:
"She’s biased towards her own husband, so she purposefully exaggerates."
"Little Dragon Girl isn’t the kind of person you think she is."
Huang Rong said:
"Your mother can still tell who’s lying and who’s not. The Little Dragon Girl is very easy to get along with, an extremely pure and kind girl. You mustn’t bully her!"
"How would I dare?"
Guo Fu said, feeling wronged:
"You’ve painted Ding Ling as so terrifying. If I bullied his wife, wouldn’t he beat me to death?!"
"It’s good that you know!"
Huang Rong sighed:
"I’m also doing this for your sake. You’re young and inexperienced, spoiled by us since childhood! Reckless and rude! It’s fine if you offend some people, but is Ding Ling someone you can provoke?
I’m afraid that if you, without discretion, act like you usually do, oblivious to etiquette, and end up provoking Ding Ling, your father and I will find it very hard to cope."
"I got it."
Guo Fu, her fair face scrunched into a frown:
"I’ll definitely keep far away from Ding Ling and his wife, and if I see them, I’ll go around three feet away!"
Huang Rong, upon hearing this, initially wanted to say: ’You don’t need to go that far, just remember to be polite and cautious.’
But knowing Guo Fu’s disposition, she quickly quashed the thought, only considering:
"This is also fine; without interaction, it’s less likely for conflicts to arise. If not, this Fu’Er girl, usually coddled and unrestrained, cannot endure even the slightest grievance.
If pushed to the brink.
There’s no telling she might really do something irrational. Both sides keeping their distance might be the best."
Today, merely a few stern words to Guo Fu,
and she’s already moved to tears.
Huang Rong saw this, feeling both worried and vexed, also understanding that they have placed too much importance on Guo Fu, allowing her to develop bad habits.
This temperament is usually just fine.
But if she falls into Ding Ling’s hands, a good outcome is hard to imagine. Ding Ling is certainly not one to show mercy.
From the way he killed Li Mochou.
To his straightforward behavior with the Little Dragon Girl.
You can see bits of it.
Though this person has delicate aspects, and treats the Little Dragon Girl very well, if there is no emotional connection with him, or without his approval, no matter how beautiful you are, he will still hit or kill without hesitation.
Thinking this far.
Huang Rong couldn’t help but remind Guo Fu again.
Guo Fu, being reprimanded, became irritated and felt wronged.
Huang Rong didn’t care, only growing stricter.
Ke Zhen’e, unable to bear it, tried to mediate.
Huang Rong couldn’t help but say a few words to Ke Zhen’e as well.
Ke Zhen’e, unable to save face, snorted in anger and pounded the ground with his cane as he stomped off!
