Chapter 264: Chapter 359: This is a misunderstanding! _1
```
Boom!
The hotel wall was instantly shattered by a powerful presence, and Mu Huanqing, dressed in pajamas and drenched in cold sweat, wore an extremely vigilant expression on her face. Without a word, before Fang Ren could react, she suddenly drew her long spear and aimed it at the throat of the woman opposite her, Jiang Ling.
"Who is she!"
Mu Huanqing held one hand to her lower abdomen while shielding Fang Ren behind her with the other.
The woman in the red dress, who had appeared in Fang Ren's room, exuded an immensely powerful aura that even made her, known as the strongest Xuan Nv on Earth, feel threatened.
The True Qi that had just started circulating within Jiang Ling was released in preparation to leave upon sensing Mu Huanqing, but she hadn't expected Mu Huanqing to rush over at full speed. Consequently, while her True Qi was still active, her body remained motionless.
"It's over, am I being mistaken for the other woman?"
Jiang Ling looked at Mu Huanqing, pointing her spear at her neck, and gave up, her smile showing a hint of helplessness.
It was only now that Fang Ren, finally catching on to the situation, immediately grasped one of Mu Huanqing's arms and hurriedly said, "Qing'er! Don't be impulsive, listen to my explanation."
He really hadn't cheated!
However, it was late at night, and there was a woman sitting on his bed—if anyone else saw this, they too would have thought too much of it.
Yet the True Qi emanating from Mu Huanqing showed no signs of subsiding. She had never considered that Fang Ren would cheat on her. She trusted him completely, including now. Even with this woman in a red dress sitting by Fang Ren's bedside, she still believed he had no improper relationship with her.
Looking at Jiang Ling's face, a few seconds later, Mu Huanqing suddenly became shocked. She felt she had seen this woman's face somewhere before...
"Leader of Nightfall!" Mu Huanqing clenched her teeth and frowned as she spoke, her True Qi bursting out even more intensely, "How dare you come to Tianjiang, are you not afraid of being besieged?"
Seeing that Mu Huanqing had recognized her, Jiang Ling's smile turned even more resigned, "Ah, I blame my younger self for being too dazzling. Now, those old coots in the Central Area even keep photos of me from my youth."
Mu Huanqing's situation turned dire; her current physical condition was very poor. If a battle truly erupted, she had no confidence in her ability to defeat a mid-stage Xuanyang realm practitioner, let alone the woman before her, who seemed to possess a cultivation level even greater than her own at her peak!
And this woman was none other than the leader of the Nightfall Organization!
The Nightfall Organization was infamous for its ruthless killings and often committed acts opposed by human society—they were essentially a group of lunatics. If a fight broke out, Mu Huanqing guessed she wouldn't be able to look after Fang Ren, and she might even lose her own life on the spot.
"Madame Xuan, although your lover is truly outstanding, I—a woman in her forties—certainly wouldn't be preying on the younger grass. Let's get this straight, I did not tumble in bed with your lover," Jiang Ling quickly interjected as she saw Mu Huanqing becoming increasingly agitated.
"Yes, Qing'er, you've misunderstood," Fang Ren immediately stood between the two women, looking at Mu Huanqing with a face full of cold sweat, struggling with what he thought was a misunderstanding over infidelity.
"Ah Ran, did she come today to coerce you into working for her organization?" Mu Huanqing kept her angry gaze fixed on Jiang Ling.
Her anger wasn't stemming from the presence of another woman in Fang Ren's room, suggesting infidelity on his part, but rather she suspected that Jiang Ling had witnessed Fang Ren's talent tonight and wanted to steal him away from the Tianjiang alliance.
```
Fang Ren then realized what had been happening all along. It was all because of Jiang Ling's identity that Mu Huanqing had never considered the possibility that he might be unfaithful.
Having heard this, Jiang Ling stopped and said, "As long as you don't misunderstand that there's something more between me and your boyfriend, that's fine. As for how you resent me, I believe this will change in the future. You're not in a good state right now, and with my power overwhelming yours, I could easily kill you here..."
Jiang Ling hadn't finished her sentence when Mu Huanqing, standing behind Fang Ren, suddenly began to sway. Her long spear turned ethereal, her silver armor shattered into specks of light, and the True Qi around her rapidly contracted. After a couple of wobbles, she collapsed straight to the ground.
"Qing'er!"
Fang Ren immediately embraced Mu Huanqing, his face filled with concern as he looked at her armor-less abdomen, and in an instant, he understood everything.
She was about to give birth!
"This..."
Jiang Ling was also taken aback. She stared blankly at the pregnant Mu Huanqing, unable to comprehend that Fang Ren had already fathered a child with her!
"Leader Jiang! Please help me protect the surroundings!"
Fang Ren said as he laid Mu Huanqing on the bed and unleashed his True Qi, starting to examine the condition within Mu Huanqing's body.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ling didn't ask any further questions. She immediately released her own True Qi and drew forth her Black Knife Spirit Image. With a few slashes against the broken walls, she turned the black blade's energy into a dark veil that blocked all the light and the view from outside.
At that moment, following the recent explosion, a crowd had gathered outside the hotel, and the Tianjiang Guard Team had arrived on the scene. Seeing the dark barrier on the third floor, everyone appeared vigilant.
The pressure emanating from that dark barrier far exceeded their understanding. For the first time, they felt as if they were facing an entity even more formidable than a Ninth-order Void Beast.
"What's going on?"
Fang Yuanhao, who had just stepped out of a luxury car, became furious upon seeing the state of the third floor. Someone was attacking a member of the Fang Family in the middle of the night!
"You dogs of the Tiandao Sword Sect! Do you think the Fang Family is defenseless?" Fang Yuanhao roared, interpreting the scene as a secret attack by the Tiandao Sword Sect, especially since Fang Ren had humiliated the Sword Sect earlier that day.
After his roar, Fang Yuanhao released his True Qi and, without a second thought, charged towards the dark barrier.
No matter how he had disregarded Fang Ren as part of his family before, the problem now was that Fang Ren had become too dazzling, a pride of the Fang Family. And who in Tianjiang didn't know that Fang Ren was his grandson now?
If he let outsiders bully a member of his family on this turf, where would Fang Yuanhao place his face in the future?
Swoosh!
Yet, just as he was charging up to the third floor, a streak of black light from the barrier suddenly swept across, startling Fang Yuanhao, who immediately shielded himself with his True Qi.
But the black light was too powerful. Even with his full protection, it broke through his defenses and slammed him into the ground.
