Chapter 41: Confrontation of Husbands

“Did you remember what I told you, my wife?”
Song Jingshi was jolted back to reality by the pain and looked dazedly at He Zhou.
“Did you say something just now?”
He Zhou patiently reiterated, “I said, your husband is called He Zhou. You must remember my name, otherwise, I’ll make sure you can’t get out of bed.”
Song Jingshi’s face turned red with embarrassment from the man’s teasing.
She pushed away the man who was getting closer, replying impatiently, “I know, I know.”
He Zhou firmly grasped Song Jingshi’s hand that was pushing him away.
“You really want me to go? Is your fake husband coming? Or did your dead husband come back?”
“Good girl, come to me.”
A deep and displeased voice came from the doorway.
Both Song Jingshi and He Zhou turned to look outside.
Lin Yansheng frowned as he watched He Zhou grip Song Jingshi’s hand, slightly opening his arms, waiting for his little bird to fly into his embrace.
After seeing the man’s appearance, Song Jingshi’s eyes widened in surprise.
“Lin… Lin Yansheng!”
“Little assistant! Little assistant! Why is Lin Yansheng here!”
“Wasn’t he in the previous instance? Can NPCs from the horror area really cross over freely?”
Song Jingshi anxiously called for the little assistant in her heart; Lin Yansheng’s appearance had completely short-circuited her brain.
“Host, I don’t know what’s going on either. Normally, NPCs from different instances shouldn’t be able to interact.”
Seeing Song Jingshi staring blankly at him without any sign of approaching, Lin Yansheng strode forward, smiling at He Zhou, “Please move aside; this is my little wife, and I’m taking her home.”
He Zhou responded fiercely, “This is clearly my wife.”
Lin Yansheng didn’t continue to quarrel with He Zhou but turned to Song Jingshi, speaking in an extremely gentle tone, “Good girl, who do you say you belong to?”
Looking at the strange atmosphere between the two men, Song Jingshi weakly replied, “I belong to myself.”
After Song Jingshi finished speaking, He Zhou immediately blocked Lin Yansheng’s path with confidence.
“Did you hear that? My wife says she’s not yours.”
Song Jingshi:…
Is it possible that I’m also not yours? I belong to myself. What does this possessiveness of yours mean?
Lin Yansheng didn’t show the slightest anger at He Zhou’s words.
He reached out and grabbed Song Jingshi’s ankle, stroking the silver chain on it.
“Good girl, do you know? This was forged from my blood and bones. Without me, she would have to stay at your feet for the rest of her life. No matter where you go, I can find you. Have you really thought about what to say?”
Song Jingshi recoiled slightly, wanting to withdraw her leg, but the man’s grip was strong, and she couldn’t break free.
He Zhou then noticed the chain on Song Jingshi’s ankle. He had always thought it was just an ornament she liked for beauty, but he didn’t expect it was a gift from another man.
“Lin Yansheng, I said would you untie it for me?”
Song Jingshi looked hopefully at Lin Yansheng.
Lin Yansheng smiled slightly and spoke in an alluring tone, “I’ll consider it, good girl.”
Only then did Song Jingshi obediently nod and tell He Zhou, “Lin Yansheng is my husband.”
Upon hearing this, He Zhou violently yanked Lin Yansheng’s collar, his face filled with rage.
“What kind of man threatens her like that?”
Lin Yansheng nonchalantly replied, “As long as the outcome is what I desire, I don’t care how I achieve it.”
After saying this, Lin Yansheng still spoke kindly to He Zhou, “Are you really sure you want to fight me here?”
As soon as those words were spoken, He Zhou seemed to remember something, suppressing his anger and releasing Lin Yansheng.
“I will kill you.”
“Let’s wait and see.”
After Lin Yansheng finished speaking, he took Song Jingshi into his arms, completely unaffected by He Zhou’s actions.
At that moment, a third voice suddenly rang out.
“Oh, it’s so lively! Do you all love my wife? How can you think he can handle so many people?”
A very familiar voice echoed at the doorway.
At this moment, Song Jingshi dared not look outside again; the development of the situation had completely exceeded her expectations.
In the last instance, when the NPC was about to engage with her in an indescribable way, she had fled.
In this instance, she had been tricked by three people, playing the role of their wife.
Now, both her last husband and this instance’s husband were gathered together, and Song Jingshi felt her head was about to explode.
Luckily, Yuanwen wasn’t here; otherwise, let it be destroyed!
Even so, Song Jingshi was now completely at a loss about what to do.
She was sitting in her last husband’s embrace while her current husband was approaching.
The key was that both husbands had told her not to let them catch her with a clandestine lover.
But now… this shouldn’t… count as… a clandestine lover, right?
She was quite aboveboard!
And neither of them could be considered a lover.
They were both her husbands from roles she had played.
Thinking this in her heart, she still sat obediently in Lin Yansheng’s embrace, one delicate hand being played with by Lin Yansheng while the other held tightly to his sleeve.
Lin Yansheng ignored Wei Xun’s words.
However, He Zhou’s expression clearly changed due to this remark.
“Wei Xun, since you’re dead, there’s no need for you to return.”
He Zhou looked like a lion that had lost its territory.
Since Lin Yansheng was still useful to him, he could bear with him for a while, but what was Wei Xun to him?
One by one, they all wanted to steal his wife!
If it weren’t for the warning he had just received about not being able to kill the crucial NPC in the instance, why would he cooperate with Lin Yansheng?
