I just broke up with my boyfriend and then I transmigrated into the world of "The Lost Tomb&quo

Ling Xiao pinpointed the location of Shi Xu, pressed a button on the chair, and an iron net fell from the ceiling, firmly trapping Shi Xu.

"What are you doing!" Before Shi Xu could react, a series of footsteps reached his ears. He looked up at the footsteps and saw Cheng Xiaoli's figure.

"You! You! You're all in cahoots! Ling Xiao, I'm your biological father! Aren't you afraid of retribution for treating me like this!" Shi Xu couldn't hide his anger, but Ling Xiao's calmness only made him seem like a madman.

"You don't really think you can go home alive under my nose, do you? If it weren't for my brother's orders to keep you alive for your own good, I wouldn't have let you go no matter what." Cheng Xiaoli walked to Ling Xiao's side and gave him a loose hug.

"You can't! Didn't you want to confirm whether Ling Xiao and I are father and son?!" Shi Xu shouted.

"Whether we're related or not doesn't matter. From the moment I decided to take that step, I've done everything without regret." She looked at the man in front of her with deep affection and continued, "All of this was just to prevent Jieyuhua from getting involved. Brother feels sorry for him, but not for you. Brother is really amazing; he guessed long ago that the timing of Shixu's return was wrong."

"Impossible! How did you know I was back so long ago!" Shi Xu gripped the iron net, but the net tightened more and more, making him unable to move.

"Want to know? If you hand over the item, I can not only tell you, but I can also let you go. You've finally come back, of course you want to live, hmm?" Ling Xiao tempted him.

The rhythmic beat against the iron mesh, but before it could reveal a pattern, it was interrupted by Cheng Xiaoli's shot.

"Brother, he's really no use anymore. Let's kill him. He's really disturbing our time together." Cheng Xiaoli had completely lost the ferocity she showed when she fired the gun, and turned to Ling Xiao, pleading with him.

"It's no fun just killing him. I've decided to burn him alive." Ling Xiao took out a lighter and lit it, and flames immediately flickered.

"I'll bury the entire palace with you, how about that?" Ling Xiao said, then lit a piece of paper. The burning paper landed on the carpet, and sparks quickly spread.

"You're insane! You're a complete madman! We should have told them to kill you back then! Aren't you afraid of retribution? I'm your own father!"

"Retribution? Didn't you already get your retribution? Your own son is with you, he'll die with you." Ling Xiao walked to Shi Xu's iron net, gripped it, the iron surface was burning hot, and his skin sizzled against the net, but Ling Xiao's expression remained unchanged, which terrified Shi Xu.

"You wanted to know why I knew you came back at the wrong time, right? I'll tell you, it's because I didn't come back with you. I died in that explosion. But someone came back with you, it was Xiaohua. He didn't come back as late as you said. You had the starter, how could you have come back later than him?"

"It's good though, now that you're back, I'll still be with you. Aren't you happy? Last time you left me behind and ran off, that won't do. This time, we'll be together, father and son." Ling Xiao said with a sickly expression.

"Who wants to die with you?" After saying that, Shi Xu subconsciously reached for his back and then pulled something out.

Ling Xiao made a gesture, and Cheng Xiaoli immediately acted, completely defeating Shi Xu.

Upon seeing the person die, Cheng Xiaoli immediately turned on the fire extinguisher, but unfortunately, most of the furnishings in the house had already been burned, and half of Ling Xiao's clothes were charred and stuck to Ling Xiao's body, turning blackish-gray.

Ling Xiao suffered extensive burns. He was completely unaware of Cheng Xiaoli calling him, his only focus being to open the iron net and retrieve the item from Shi Xu's hands.
