Seeing him run over and want to hug Mei Yi, Ling Yun pulled her away, causing Duan Pangzhi to instantly fall to the ground. “Argh!”

“Pangzhi!” His parents shouted as they ran to his side, and they wanted to help him stand up, but his body was too heavy, which made it difficult for them to lift him up.

On the other hand, Mei Yi’s mother glared fiercely at her daughter, and she immediately bombarded her with many questions in a high tone. “Where have you been? Why did you run away? And who is that man? Why did you let him hug you like that? Did you forget that you are Pangzhi’s fiancé?”

Listening to her mother’s anger, Mei Yi hugged Ling Yun’s arm tightly. But he pulled her forward to face her mother and rubbed her head. “You are no longer the old you, so you can tell her the truth.”

“En.” Mei Yi then took a deep breath and looked at her mother. “Mother, I-”

“Bastard! You must have seduced my Yi’er! Return her to me!” Duan Pangzhi, who had managed to stand up, shouted at Ling Yun before Mei Yi could speak.

“Hmm?” Ling Yun turned to him with a raised eyebrow; he then threw a mirror on the ground. “Hey, fat barrel! Do you think you deserve Mei Yi? Look at yourself; your appearance is even worse than the Beast, but you want a Belle like her!”

“You-”

“You what?” Ling Yun glared fiercely at Duan Pangzhi, and his blood-red eyes made him and his parents tremble with fear.

“Stop it!” Mei Yi’s mother suddenly shouted, and she coldly spoke to Ling Yun. “I don’t care who you are; leave my daughter alone, and I’ll soon marry her to Pangzhi! If you still insist on bothering my daughter, I will make you regret it for the rest of your life.”

“Mother-”

“Shut up!” Mei Yi’s mother immediately snapped at her, and her face darkened, seeing her daughter not wanting to let go of Ling Yun’s arm. “Get into the house right now!”

“No.” Mei Yi shook her head vigorously. “You never care about my feelings! I’ve told you many times that I don’t want to marry Fatty, but you keep forcing me to marry him for your business.”

“What did you say?” Mei Yi’s mother’s face darkened even more after listening to her daughter’s rebuttal. “I’m doing all this for your future! You will live happily with Pangzhi rather than that unknown man!”

“You’re wrong!” Mei Yi shouted back to her mother. “Ling Yun is much better than Fatty in all aspects!”

Hearing that, Mei Yi’s mother became even more furious, and she mocked Ling Yun. “What does that guy have? Does he have a company as big as mine and Pangzhi’s father’s company? He even looks like a freak! I will never believe that he is better than him.”

“He-”

“Shh.” Ling Yun stopped Mei Yi and asked his mother. “Do you really think that money is more important than your daughter’s happiness?”

“Of course!” Mei Yi’s mother answered without hesitation. “Money can buy everything, including happiness! Without money, we will only live in misery.”

“You are right that living without money is indeed very miserable.” Ling Yun answered with a nod of approval, especially since he had lived such a life before, which made him decide to work as a male prostitute. “However, if you say that money can buy happiness, then your thinking is very wrong.”

“Humph!” Mei Yi’s mother snorted at him.

Ling Yun contacted Zhao Yao and asked her to transfer a large amount of money to his account, and she immediately carried out his request. After that, he took out his smartphone and spoke to Mei Yi’s mother again. “Since you value money more than your daughter, tell me how much money you need, and I will transfer it to you right now.”

“Ling Yun.” Mei Yi called out softly as she tugged at his sleeve.

Ling Yun kissed her forehead. “I’ve decided to accept you as my woman, so I will do anything to keep you by my side.”

“En.” Mei Yi nodded with a smile.

Ling Yun then turned to Mei Yi’s mother again. “Now tell me, how much money do you need?”

“Braggart!” Mei Yi’s mother immediately answered him. “If you can give me 250 million Yuan, I will let my daughter be with you!”

Hearing her mother’s words, Mei Yi’s expression turned extremely sad, and tears flowed from her eyes.

“Since your mother doesn’t think about you, you don’t need to be sad because of her.” Ling Yun said as he hugged Mei Yi. “250 million Yuan, right? Give me your bank account! However, once you get that money, you will never see her again for the rest of your life.”

Not only Mei Yi’s mother, but even Duan Pangzhi and his parents were really shocked when they heard Ling Yun’s words. Even though their family was quite rich, it was still impossible for them to take out that much money at once.

Even though she didn’t believe Ling Yun, Mei Yi’s mother immediately gave her bank account number, and he immediately transferred all the money into her account.

Fortunately, Zhao Yao had already upgraded Ling Yun’s bank account, especially since he was the owner of both companies, so it was not a problem for him to carry out such a large transaction at once.

*Ring*

Mei Yi’s mother was startled when her smartphone rang, and she immediately received the incoming call, but her eyes instantly widened in shock as she looked at Ling Yun, for the caller was a banker who informed her about the large amount of money that had just been received in her account.

Ling Yun just smiled at her expression; he then hugged Mei Yi. “Since you have received the money, I will take your daughter with me, and you will never see her again.”

“I’m sorry I disappointed you, Mother.” Mei Yi said as she looked at her regretfully. “Since you prefer money over me, I will go with Ling Yun, and we will part forever.”

Ling Yun immediately carried Mei Yi like a princess and carried her flying into the sky, shocking the four people, especially since they didn’t know anything about cultivators.

Since she was Mei Yi’s mother, Ling Yun couldn’t possibly do anything bad to her, so he deliberately did that to make her regret her decision.

Without delay, Duan Pangzhi’s parents immediately took him and left the house, leaving Mei Yi’s mother frozen in place.

After a while, Mei Yi’s mother slumped on the floor, and her look was filled with regret. “What have I done?”

Meanwhile, Ling Yun took Mei Yi to Su Fei’s house and waited for the others to finish their business first, and he would take them to go on vacation somewhere else afterwards.

However, Tang Zhiyi suddenly told Ling Yun that Chen Ying and Shen Yu were unwilling to let her go, so she decided to accompany them first, and she would catch up with them later.

After that, Ling Yun brought Mei Yi to sit on a garden bench, but she immediately climbed onto his lap and hugged his neck, and she gave him a deep kiss.

Ling Yun smiled and asked him. “How do you feel? Do you regret separating from your mother?”

“Yes.” Mei Yi answered honestly, for she really regretted her mother’s attitude, so she was forced to leave her. “Even though I regret it, I don’t want to be under my mother’s control any longer, let alone that she only wants to use me as a tool to grow her business.”

“I know how you feel, but you don’t have to regret it anymore.” Ling Yun gently spoke to her. “Even though your mother is no longer with you, you have a bigger family now, and they all care and love you more than her.”

“En.” Mei Yi nodded and laid her head on Ling Yun’s shoulder. “From now on, I will always stay by your side as your wife, and they are all my new family.”

Ling Yun then spoke to her again. “If I think about everything again, I feel really stupid about our relationship, especially since I know that you will keep thinking about me after the events of that day. Instead, I keep pushing you aside and neglecting you, but you continue to faithfully wait for me, and you even trained so hard to gain my recognition.”

“You don’t need to talk about that anymore, okay?” Mei Yi said as she looked at Ling Yun. “Even though I feel sad because you continued to treat me like that before, I am grateful that my wait was not in vain, and I can be with you now.” 𝐞𝐨𝘃𝐞𝐥.

After hearing that, Ling Yun cupped her cheeks and kissed her lips directly, and Mei Yi immediately reciprocated as she wrapped her arms around his neck.

Moments later, Ling Yun separated their lips and looked at Mei Yi with a gentle gaze, but he remembered that he had not given her any techniques, so he immediately gave her a suitable technique, including his dual cultivation technique.

After that, Ling Yun looked for a suitable equipment set for Mei Yi. He immediately bought a set of crystal equipment with a crystal flute as the main weapon, and he gave them to her. “Did you like it?”

“En.” Mei Yi immediately jumped down from Ling Yun’s lap and played the crystal flute.
