428 - Rebirth of a Star: Another Day, Another Drama

Chapter 428: "I'm Your Father" - I Quit Being the Resentful Senior Sister! - Urban Novel Ye Ling Long looked toward the door, feeling somewhat puzzled. "This aura... it's not Bai Li Ran's." During her confinement here by Bai Li Ran, she hadn't encountered anyone else except him. Of course, there were some who came to watch the spectacle, but at most, they only peered in from the doorway, likely just curious onlookers. Bai Li Feng stepped into the courtyard and immediately spotted Ye Ling Long. His eyes instantly flickered with admiration. This girl was exceedingly beautiful, but more impressive was the extraordinary aura she exuded, which immediately caught his attention. For someone like Bai Li Feng, who had navigated romantic escapades for years, he had never encountered such a woman. His heart began to race. Relying on his vast experience in charming women, he instinctively adopted what he believed to be a very graceful posture, showcasing his best profile. His eyes squinted slightly, conveying a gentle, almost string-like gaze. In a deep, slightly husky voice, he drawled, "Beautiful lady～ I am Bai Li Feng of the Bai Li family. It's a fortune to meet a celestial maiden today. May I know your name?" After speaking, he even tossed Ye Ling Long a flirtatious wink. Ye Ling Long felt sick. She couldn't comprehend it and was quite shocked. This guy was so greasy! In her past in the entertainment industry, she had encountered many somewhat oily stars and actors. But someone at this level of greasiness, she was seeing for the first time. "Ye Ling Long," she answered, then subtly shifted her position to avoid looking at the man, trying to suppress her urge to vomit. Knowing her name only made Bai Li Feng's smile broaden further. "So, it's Ye～ Ling～ Long～," he uttered her name with dramatic flair, his eyes occasionally teasing her. Ye Ling Long thought, "..." She didn't know why, but hearing her name from his mouth made her instantly dislike it. "Wait! What did you say? Your name is Ye Ling Long?" Suddenly, Bai Li Feng's tone made a complete 180-degree turn, hinting at a trace of collapse. He had just been attracted to this beautiful maiden, yet she turned out to be the rumored girl who could possibly be his illegitimate daughter! Ye Ling Long looked at Bai Li Feng like she was observing a madman and nodded. "Unchanged through the ages, I am Ye Ling Long," she affirmed. Bai Li Feng thought, "..." Mourning the love that had just slipped away, although it had yet to begin. After a moment of reflection, Bai Li Feng composed himself, becoming more serious in demeanor. He examined Ye Ling Long from head to toe, thoughts swirling in his mind. He had countless romantic acquaintances outside, and with Ye Ling Long's stunning looks, she might indeed be a potential child of his. Thinking along those lines, he initiated a bloodline resonance, instantly sensing a familiar blood aura interacting. Bai Li Feng felt certain now; this confirmed she must be his child. Ye Ling Long felt it too, a sensation that made the man before her seem inexplicably familiar. "What did you do?" she asked curiously. Bai Li Feng's expression grew bashful, somewhat embarrassed by his earlier conduct. Still, he hesitated but finally admitted, "Actually, I'm your father." Ye Ling Long was taken aback. "..." Did he just insult her? "I’m your father," she retorted sarcastically. Bai Li Feng thought, "..." This daughter has quite a temper. After a pause, he curiously asked, "What does 'father' mean?" Ye Ling Long was speechless. "Bai Li Feng! What are you doing here?" A cold voice suddenly came from the door. Both of them looked up to see Bai Li Ran. Bai Li Ran's face was glacial, his eyes full of coldness. As soon as Ye Ling Long saw Bai Li Ran, it felt as though a venomous snake was staring her down, sending a chill up her spine. His gaze was like that of someone viewing an object. An item, a vessel containing something. What exactly was he after? Bai Li Feng took a step forward, shielding Ye Ling Long from Bai Li Ran's venomous gaze. "Uncle, why did you capture this young lady?" Bai Li Ran, being the son of Bai Li Feng's grandfather's brother and part of the family's main lineage, was known to be insidiously vicious and unpredictable. Many within the Bai Li family feared him. However, the current head of the Bai Li family was Bai Li Feng's father. And the next family head was already chosen to be his older brother, so Bai Li Feng wasn't afraid of him. "Brat, mind your own business. Take care of yourself before interfering with me. Scram! Stay away from my territory!" Bai Li Ran disdainfully replied. He always scorned Bai Li Feng, a playboy who, despite having good talents, lacked ambition and diligence in cultivation. Bai Li Feng exclaimed defiantly, "Uncle, this Ye Ling Long is my daughter. How can you say it's not my business? You owe me an explanation today!" Upon hearing this, Ye Ling Long began to cough violently. What on earth? She was his daughter? Ye Ling Long found it hard to accept; no matter how she looked at it, they didn't resemble each other at all. Bai Li Ran shouted angrily, "Bai Li Feng, are you spouting nonsense? She’s a criminal brought from the Middle Immortal Domain for stealing our family's secret skills! How could she possibly be your daughter?" With that said, he waved his long sleeve, and Bai Li Feng was immediately pushed out of the door. Then, with another wave, the door shut with a bang. "Get lost! There's no daughter of yours here!" Bai Li Feng's cultivation wasn't high, only at the pinnacle of the Celestial Lord stage, not having stepped into Celestial Emperor yet. He was no match for Bai Li Ran. Recalling his uncle’s usual tactics and methods, he suddenly thought of something. Shouting from the doorway, he yelled, "Uncle! Are you intending to swap my daughter's eyes? I'm warning you, Bai Li Ran, you can't touch my daughter's eyes!" Bai Li Feng shouted loudly from outside! Inside, as Ye Ling Long heard the mention of swapping eyes, she immediately understood. No wonder Bai Li Ran had kept her until now, looking at her merely as a container. His aim was this—wanting to swap her eyes. Swapping eyes needed to be done on a living body to ensure the eyes remained viable. Considering the unique characteristics her eyes displayed whenever she focused on researching or deploying formations, she realized what Bai Li Ran wanted: her eyes!
