The End Times as a Song

Chapter 457 How could you do this?

"Of course! It's in this Tranquil Garden, a place the Tu Shan family uses to entertain guests! If I don't rest here, am I supposed to sleep on the street? Humph! I was just taking a nap inside when I vaguely heard a commotion outside, disturbing my peace. When I opened my eyes, oh ho, it's you! You're such a nuisance!" Yan Cai glared at Tu Shan Long, her beautiful eyes flashing with undisguised displeasure.

"Tu Shanlong, you're such a nuisance! You came all this way just to yell at me, waking me from my sweet dreams! If you don't want to see me, then stay away from me and don't bother me! Otherwise... hmph! You'll be sorry!" With that, Yan Cai vigorously waved her delicate round fan, as if trying to fan away all her vexation. Then she slowly walked out of the room, her lotus-like steps light and graceful, towards Tu Shanlong. With each step she took closer to Tu Shanlong, his heart felt as if it had been struck hard by a heavy hammer, and he began to tremble uncontrollably.

"Hey! That's quite an interesting thing to say! This is clearly my home. I can walk around wherever I want. Do I need your permission? Who do you think you are? How dare you point fingers at me!" Tu Shanlong retorted defiantly, her neck stiff, trying to appear tough. However, her slightly trembling legs betrayed her true fear and nervousness. Tu Shanlong feigned composure, but inwardly she was panicking. She deliberately raised her voice, trying to mask her unease, and shouted at Yan Cai, "Oh! Is that so? Hmph, let me tell you, I'm a distinguished guest specially invited by your father! Do you want to slap your father in front of everyone?"

However, Yan Cai remained unmoved by Tu Shanlong's boastful words. A slight, contemptuous smile appeared on his lips as he retorted without hesitation, "Tu Shanlong, stop spouting nonsense!" These simple words were like a sharp sword piercing Tu Shanlong's heart, leaving this usually arrogant and domineering woman speechless.

For a moment, Tu Shanlong was stunned, her mind blank, completely at a loss for words to respond to Yan Cai's question. After a long while, she finally came to her senses and stammered out a weak and unconvincing sentence: "Yan Cai, you...you shouldn't be spouting nonsense here..."

Seeing Tu Shanlong's disheveled appearance, Yan Cai chuckled inwardly. He slowly leaned close to Tu Shanlong's ear and whispered, "Tu Shanlong, look closely at my expression. Do you think I'm just spouting nonsense or making things up?" These words seemed to possess an invisible magic, causing Tu Shanlong to involuntarily raise her head to look at Yan Cai's face. When her gaze met Yan Cai's, filled with confidence and mockery, she felt a chill run down her spine, and her already pale face turned ashen.

"...!"

Tu Shanlong's face turned pale; she was no longer able to respond to Yan Cai's words and remained motionless.

"Alright, alright, Yan Cai, just shut up!"

Seeing Tu Shanlong's predicament, Li Luo stepped forward and pulled open Yan Cai.
