"I'm not teasing you."
Xu Lai asked in a strange tone, "Ruan Lan, have you been overdoing your cultivation recently? Your complexion and heartbeat have seemed a bit off for a while now."
Ruan Lan was so angry her teeth itched.
She had just spent ages agonizing over not betraying her sister, only for that bastard Xu Lai to suggest she, her aunt, take Yiyi to the moon with him!
With the speed of a lightning strike, Ruan Lan lifted her foot to stomp on Xu Lai, but...
Xu Lai casually stepped back, and Ruan Lan's forceful stomp landed hard on the floor, making her grimace in pain.
She sobbed, "You rotten brother-in-law, I'm going to tell my sister you bullied me!"
With that, she covered her face and sobbed as she left.
"..."
Xu Lai was dumbfounded.
How had he bullied Ruan Lan? He had only taken one tiny step back! So it turns out even a small step can cause such great harm. Xu Lai fell into deep thought.
「Time quickly passed until evening.」
