TFWYH – Chapter 777 Tang Wan’s Change of Face

Tang Wan’s eyebrows twitched slightly as she tilted her head and asked,

“Husband, what’s wrong?”

Her mannerisms were exactly the same as Tang Wan’s usual self.

Yet Ling Yu dangerously narrowed his eyes.

Suddenly, like a bolt of lightning, he shot out his hand and seized her by the throat. His gaze was deep and icy, like frost that had remained frozen for ten thousand years.

Jin Lin, Su Yangyu, and Mu Qingfeng were all shocked and hurried forward.

“Brother Ling, what are you doing?” Mu Qingfeng exclaimed.

“Exactly! That’s Wan-niang! Let go! Let go of her!”

Jin Lin tried to pry Ling Yu’s fingers apart, but being utterly lacking in physical strength, he couldn’t budge them at all.

“A real man shouldn’t lay hands on a woman! Brother Ling, if there’s something to say, let’s talk it out!”

Su Yangyu was equally frantic. The two of them ran around in circles with worry.

They simply could not understand how someone who cherished Tang Wan more than his own life could suddenly attack her without warning.

Tang Wan herself couldn’t understand it either.

She looked at him in terror, managing to pry his fingers apart just a little as she asked with difficulty,

“Husband… what are you doing?”

“Who is your husband?”

The smile at the corner of Ling Yu’s lips gradually turned cruel. A bewitching red even appeared at the corners of his eyes.

“I’ll ask only once. Which direction did the National Preceptor of Feng Country take Wan-niang?”

The moment those words were spoken, the three people trying to stop the fight all stared at Tang Wan in astonishment, searching her face for the slightest sign that something was wrong.

A flash of surprise passed through her eyes, but she still denied it.

“Husband, what are you talking about? I… I am Tang Wan!”

“No matter how incompetent I may be, I would never mistake my own wife. Since you refuse to speak, then die.”

Ling Yu’s expression was ruthless.

As he spoke, his fingers tightened violently.

Tang Wan immediately lost the ability to speak.

Her face changed from pale to blue.

She was terrified.

Truly terrified.

And inwardly, she was crying bitterly.

Wasn’t Ling Yu supposed to be a weak scholar incapable of even restraining a chicken?

What utter nonsense!

If she had known this, she never would have cooperated with the National Preceptor’s ridiculous plan.

She was still so young.

She didn’t want to die!

Just as Tang Wan was on the verge of losing her life, a black figure arrived at incredible speed and seized Ling Yu’s wrist.

“If you kill him, we’ll truly never learn County Lady Wengnai’s whereabouts.”

Mu Qingfeng looked over and frowned.

The Shadow Master?

Why was he here?

Hearing those words, some of Ling Yu’s reason returned, and his grip on Tang Wan’s throat loosened slightly.

The Shadow Master immediately pried his hand away.

Tang Wan collapsed to her knees, coughing violently.

But before she could recover, the Shadow Master grabbed her like a chick and lifted her back up.

Ling Yu’s face remained ice-cold as he stared darkly at the impostor before him.

The Shadow Master shook the still-coughing “Tang Wan” and frowned.

“If you still won’t talk, I’ll hand you back to him and let him butcher you.”

“W-Wait… wait a moment…”

Forgetting even to cough, Tang Wan hurriedly spoke.

But the voice that emerged was unmistakably male.

Everyone present: …

What in the world?

” Tang Wan” coughed a few more times. Seeing the murderous intent in Ling Yu’s eyes growing stronger by the second, he spoke as quickly as possible.

“I am the Fourth Prince of Feng Country. I am Tang Wan’s uncle. If you kill me, Tang Wan will be angry with you!”

The Fourth Prince?

Everyone’s expressions changed dramatically.

Su Yangyu even cried out,

“Nonsense! I saw the Fourth Prince at the imperial banquet. He was taller and more robust than you. How could you possibly be him?”

The Fourth Prince of Feng Country had been an inconspicuous figure.

Whether arriving in the capital or attending the imperial banquet, he had kept such a low profile that people were on the verge of forgetting his existence.

But no matter what, he was still a man!

People had heard of disguises that altered one’s appearance.

No one had ever heard of something that could change one’s bones!

“Everything I’m saying is true! I know the art of bone shrinking. That’s why that fake immortal, Ling Shang, brought me along!”

The Fourth Prince, Tang Fengji, was so desperate that tears were nearly streaming down his face.

As he spoke, he tore off his human-skin mask.

Immediately afterward, a series of crackling, popping sounds that made everyone’s teeth ache echoed from throughout his body.
