Chapter 926: Qin Liangyu's Abnormality

"I didn't expect her to be such a cute little girl."

Chen Futu felt that the child in front of him was not yet a year old, and he didn't know where Qin Liangyu had picked him up from.

Next, Chen Futu grabbed the child's hand and, with his surging willpower, attempted to forcibly extract a drop of blood essence from the child's fingertip. Just then, a sinister voice suddenly sounded from behind, "What are you doing?"

Chen Futu's body trembled. He turned around and saw Qin Liangyu, who had been busy in the kitchen, standing behind him. She was carrying a gleaming kitchen knife, and her beautiful face looked somewhat sinister in the dim light from the window.

Chen Futu awkwardly released the child's tender arm and said, "I think the little one is quite cute and I wanted to hold her. Don't be so nervous. Although I'm not her father, what can I do for a child?"

“You don’t need to worry about it. Now that I’ve adopted her, I will treat her as my own daughter, just like Ling’er.”

Qin Liangyu stepped forward and picked up the child, her eyes filled with vigilance.

Chen Futu's heart skipped a beat. It seemed that there was indeed something wrong with this child, but on the surface he still pretended to be nonchalant. "So you still remember Ling'er. I thought you, as her mother, had forgotten everything."

"Chen Futu, don't be sarcastic in front of me. Even if I'm a terrible mother, I'm still a better father than you. During those years you were in the mortal realm, you spent so much time traveling. I raised Ling'er with my own hands, but when have you ever fulfilled your responsibilities as a father?"

"I……"

Chen Futu had no answer to this.

He went to the Northern Region not long after Ling'er was born; he was indeed not a good father.

"So you can mind your own business. Without my permission, you'd better stay away from my children."

After saying this, Qin Liangyu took the child and went out the door.

As Chen Futu gazed at the cold, indifferent back, the sense of absurdity and strangeness in his heart grew stronger.

In the mortal realm, Qin Liangyu often pinned him to the ground and rubbed him against the ground, but that was just the romance between husband and wife. Chen Futu enjoyed the feeling of his beloved wife's little fists pounding his chest. The old married couple never argued. Most of the time, Qin Liangyu was gentle, virtuous, and good at managing the household. That's why Chen Futu said she was a haven for his soul, a place where he felt at home. But now, that homely atmosphere was gone, and she no longer gave people any sense of belonging. Instead, she was gloomy and unapproachable.

Even though she had been in the mortal realm for many years, this change was still wrong. There was no longer the excitement and passion of a reunion after a short separation, only resentment and hatred.

"Please collect blood samples from Qin Liangyu and the child as soon as possible!"

"Stop urging me. I know, I'll find a way to get it."

Chen Futu took a deep breath and walked out of the room.

Qin Liangyu then sat in the living room to coax the child. Chen Futu did not approach her again, but sat opposite her, pretending to doze off, while secretly observing her from the corner of his eye.

Soon, Zhao Yu'er prepared the meal and brought it out.

Interestingly, she even cooked a meal for Chen Futu.

Chen Futu asked mockingly, "Didn't you dislike me, your ex-husband? Why am I still included?"

Zhao Yu'er snorted, "I'm not going to hold it against you because of Sister Zhensu. She's already kept you here, so she can't just not give you food and drink. But I advise you to be sensible and get out of here after you've eaten and drunk your fill, understand?"

"Heh, you'd better mind your own business."

Chen Futu didn't stand on ceremony and accepted the food she offered, eating heartily. The young woman had some cooking skills, but not many.

"What time is it? You should be grateful to have anything to eat. Why are you still picking and choosing? If you don't want to eat, just spit it all out." Zhao Yu'er was very displeased with Chen Futu, while Qin Liangyu ate silently with her head down. She held her child while eating, as if someone would harm the child if she put her down.

Chen Futu once suspected that it was her own daughter's imagination, and felt extremely uncomfortable about being cuckolded.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Qin Liangyu took the child back to their room, leaving only Chen Futu and Zhao Yu'er in the living room.

Zhao Yu'er stood with her hands on her hips, ordering Chen Futu to do housework. Chen Futu ignored her completely, letting the words go in one ear and out the other. Zhao Yu'er was so angry that she stomped her feet, but she had no choice but to do the work herself.

The most interesting thing is that Zhao Yu'er didn't go back to her room, but instead lay down on another sofa in the living room.

Chen Futu asked, "Why don't you go back to your room?"

"Of course I have to keep an eye on you, lest you plot against Sister Zhensu."

Aren't you afraid I might have ulterior motives towards you?

"If you dare, I'll kill you!"

Zhao Yu'er waved her fist, her face full of warning.

Chen Futu smiled wryly, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

Time passed slowly, and the living room returned to silence. Faint screams could be heard coming from the stairwell below, along with the sounds of fierce fighting between the legion and the mutated beings outside.

Chen Futu had planned to collect a blood sample from Zhao Yu'er's room after she fell asleep, but Zhao Yu'er was wide awake and showed no signs of wanting to rest.

Their eyes met, and Zhao Yu'er, still very sleepy, muttered to herself, "I have to keep an eye on you and not let you get close to Sister Zhensu."

"Good heavens, simps are terrifyingly powerful; even my dear husband has to admit defeat."

Chen Futu clicked his tongue in amazement, thinking to himself that he probably wouldn't be able to collect a blood sample today; he would have to wait until this woman left before he could have another chance.

And so, Zhao Yu'er stared at Chen Futu for a whole night, until the next morning when she had huge dark circles under her eyes.

Qin Liangyu carried the child downstairs and asked suspiciously, "Didn't you sleep well?"

"Hehe, Sister Zhensu, I have to protect you so that no one with ill intentions can take advantage of you."

"My door is locked, you don't need to."

"Huh? Okay, I guess I was overthinking it."

Zhao Yu'er hung her head listlessly.

Chen Futu found Zhao Yu'er quite interesting; she was also good-looking, but seemed a bit dim-witted.

After breakfast, Qin Liangyu suddenly said to Zhao Yu'er, "With the coming storm, it's no longer safe for us here. I'd like to ask your brother to help us find a new place to stay. If we encounter any danger, we won't have to worry about the child being involved."

“Okay, Sister Zhensu, you should have made this decision a long time ago.”

As she spoke, Zhao Yu'er gave Chen Futu a provocative look, "Ex-husband, Zhensu and I are moving to the Legion, so you can't come with us anymore. This house is yours."

Chen Futu sneered, "Fine, you can leave now."

"So quick to agree? You don't seem like the type to suffer a loss. You're not going to sneak off to the Legion to find someone right after we leave, are you? I'm warning you, the Legion isn't the outside world. You might get there alive but not leave alive."

Zhao Yu'er was quite alarmed by the warning.

Chen Futu did not answer again, but instead gave Qin Liangyu, who was packing her things, a meaningful look.

Did she sense something and decide to move out to avoid her husband?
