Chapter 13: The Other Party Retracted an Ugly Doll

Page 1/3

He spent the entire day sewing, and yet she actually found it ugly!

Ling Yun clenched his teeth, his eyes filled with gloom.

Zhang Yangfan was startled, about to defend Duoduo.

But Duoduo slowly lifted her little face, looking expectantly at Ling Yun.

“Daddy, is this for me?”

“No!” Ling Yun took back the ugly doll.

Duoduo pouted, a bit disappointed.

Ling Yun noticed her subtle expression and asked tentatively,

“You said it was ugly and didn’t want to give it to you, so why are you unhappy now?”

“Anything Daddy gives me, no matter how ugly, I like it!”

Duoduo blinked, her eyes brimming with longing as she looked at Ling Yun.

Earlier, her brother said that when Daddy came home, he was holding a ragged doll.

Though the doll was ugly, it was intact.

She thought Daddy had repaired the doll and wanted to give it to her!

“Is Daddy giving it to little sister?”

Duoduo’s big round eyes flickered.

Although she also wanted the doll from Daddy, her little sister was younger, so she felt she should let her have it.

“You’ll know tomorrow!”

Ling Yun wasn’t trying to tease her.

It was just that this ugly doll was still empty inside.

Giving it to Duoduo now wouldn’t protect her.

All night, Duoduo’s mood was a little down.

Even her favorite cartoons failed to capture her attention.

When it was time for bed, she slid off the sofa and pattered towards Ling Yun’s room.

As soon as she stepped in, Ling Yun grabbed her collar and pulled her back.

“Tonight, you sleep in your own room.”

“All right.”

Duoduo hung her head, dejected, and walked towards the room she shared with Zhang Yangfan.

At the doorway, she glanced back at Ling Yun.

Did Daddy not like her anymore? Why wouldn’t he let her sleep next to him?

“Duoduo, tonight Brother will stay with you, okay?”

“All right,” Duoduo replied reluctantly, still hanging her head.

Zhang Yangfan’s smile faded slightly.

How could he not compare to the sly Ling Yun? Why didn’t Duoduo like clinging to him?

Duoduo followed Zhang Yangfan back to her room.

Ling Yun glanced at the closed door, then turned to Lin Jian Yue.

“Come in with me.”

The cold voice just fell, and Lin Jian Yue suddenly grew tense.

General Ling deliberately sent Duoduo away—was he planning to do something to her daughter again?

Anxious but afraid to ask, Lin Jian Yue followed Ling Yun into the room.

As the door shut, Ling Yun set up a barrier inside.

“Come out!”

Ling Yun’s words were directed at the little strange spirit inside Lin Jian Yue’s belly.

Lin Jian Yue trembled and hurried to protect her abdomen.

“General Ling, she’s been very good today, please spare her!”

“I’m giving her two choices.”

Ling Yun tossed the ugly doll onto the bed.

“Either possess this rag doll, or I kill her!”

“Possess!”

Lin Jian Yue didn’t hesitate, choosing possession for the little spirit.

The spirit was unhappy, slitting open her belly to poke out her little head.

“Who gave you the right to decide for me? Such an ugly doll—I refuse to possess it!”

Her voice was sharp, clearly angry.

Ling Yun glanced coldly at her, showing little patience.

“Useless things don’t need to be kept.”

He grasped the sword at his chest and swiftly drew it.

The blade gleamed with a terrifying cold light.

This was the Sword of Death for Ling Yun, imbued with powerful malice.

Lin Jian Yue was forced back a step by the malice; the spirit was frightened and quickly retreated back into her belly.

Lin Jian Yue, unwilling to watch her daughter be destroyed, mustered courage to face Ling Yun.

“General Ling, please give me some time—I’ll convince her.”

“Hmm.”

Ling Yun agreed.

Lin Jian Yue breathed a secret sigh of relief and touched her belly.

“Child, don’t be stubborn. Possessing a rag doll isn’t so bad.

You have no name and aren’t on the spirit forest’s list.

If you can possess the rag doll and be given a name, you will at least have a legitimate identity.”

As Lin Jian Yue spoke, her belly twitched.

Seeing the spirit waver, she felt encouraged and continued persuading.

Shortly after, the spirit’s voice came from her belly.

“I agree to possess.”

With that, the spirit crawled out of Lin Jian Yue’s belly.

She looked at the ugly doll lying on the bed, eyes flashing with disdain.

If not for needing an identity, she wouldn’t want to possess such an ugly doll!

Though thinking this, she still transformed into a wisp of smoke and drifted into the doll.

Ling Yun quickly sealed the doll with a binding mark.

With the seal, he could monitor every move of the spirit.

“You scoundrel, you tricked me!”

The spirit angrily floated out of the doll.

Ling Yun coldly glanced at her.

“Let me remind you, if your soul leaves the doll for too long or too far, it will dissipate.”

Startled, the spirit hurried back into the doll.

“You scoundrel, you’re so sneaky. Aren’t you afraid I’ll kill that brat while you’re not looking?”

“You can try.”

Ling Yun slowly raised his hand, twirling his thumb between his forefinger and middle finger.

No sooner had he spoken than the spirit let out a painful howl.

Lin Jian Yue anxiously stepped forward but was forced back by Ling Yun’s icy glare.

“General Ling, the child is young and foolish—please spare her this once!”

“Today is a warning. If there’s a next time, I can obliterate you anytime!”

Ling Yun lowered his hand and fixed his gaze on the ugly doll.

With the seal, he could track every move of the spirit.

If she dared to cause trouble, a thought from him and she would vanish into dust.

“Your mission is to protect Duoduo. If you fail, you die!”

“I… I understand!”

Tormented by Ling Yun, the spirit immediately cowered.

Before absolute power, she had no choice.

Next door, the lights were out.

Duoduo lay on the lower bunk, eyes wide open staring at the ceiling above.

“Brother, did I make Daddy angry just now by saying the doll was ugly? Is that why Daddy won’t let me sleep next to him?”

“Brother, if I go apologize to Daddy now, will he forgive me?”

“Brother…”

“If you don’t sleep soon, I’ll get mad!”

Zhang Yangfan’s muffled voice came from the upper bunk.

Why did Duoduo’s heart only belong to sly old Ling Yun?

Did sleeping with him really hurt her so much?

“Brother, why are you mad?” Duoduo blinked, eyes full of confusion.

“Brother, why don’t you say… mmm…”

Before she could finish, her mouth was suddenly covered by someone’s hand.
