She became a god

At the entrance of the Snow City Lord's Mansion in Zhongzhou.

The boy waited anxiously outside the door, and after what seemed like an eternity, someone finally led him the way.

Once inside, a beautiful woman in red embraced him and wept bitterly.

"Little brother..."

After calling out once, the woman burst into tears.

Lin Jingxi was originally an outgoing and unrestrained person. After marrying into the snowy city in the north, she was unfamiliar with the place and the people. Facing her sickly husband and strict family rules, she was already feeling suffocated.

Several months ago, I was suddenly struck by the devastating news that my family had been wiped out overnight, leaving no trace of our members.

These days, whenever she thinks of the decades she spent in Yancheng, her eyes fill with tears and she cries uncontrollably.

Today, her younger brother, whom she hadn't seen for several years, came to visit, and she felt both happy and worried.

The joy was naturally the arrival of their only family member in the world.

What I'm worried about is...

“Sister-in-law, I know you can’t bear to see your brother suffer, but there’s no need to bring him to the city lord’s mansion.”

A young man in brocade robes walked up to Lin Jingchuan, fanning himself with a folding fan. He looked Lin Jingchuan up and down, then shook his head and said, "Look at you, this whole thing is bad luck. It might ruin the feng shui of our Xue family."

Such sharp and sarcastic words did not come from anyone else, but from Xue Suibao, the third son of the Snow City Lord.

As her name suggests, Xue Suibao was pampered by the city lord and his wife since she was a child, and she would always find fault with anyone she didn't like.

He's in his early twenties, but he still acts the same way and shows no sign of changing.

When Lin Jingxi first married into the family, she did consider disciplining her unruly younger brother.

But she soon realized her in-laws' favoritism and her husband's inaction.

The Xue family doesn't care, so why should she, an outsider, play the villain?

Therefore, no matter how much Xue Suibao nags, she just pretends that person doesn't exist.

But today, he actually cursed his own brother for being unlucky.

If someone's entire family is wiped out, a normal person, even if they don't offer comfort, will at least not hurl insults.

This little Xue Suibao is really ill-mannered.

"Xue Suibao, you're just having bad luck. Don't assume someone else is unlucky just because they're unlucky."

Although Lin Jingxi's words were sarcastic, they were not entirely unfounded.

This Xue Suibao must have done too many bad things, because he has been exceptionally unlucky since childhood, even getting water stuck in his teeth.

Her words touched a raw nerve with Xue Suibao.

Spoiled as a child, Xue Suibao didn't think twice and said directly, "Even if I'm unlucky, I'm still better off than you. If you bring a jinx into the family and he kills my older brother, you'll have to die with him!"

Lin Jingxi rolled her eyes at him, "You want your older brother to die?"

"I didn't." Although Xue Suibao wasn't very smart, he wouldn't let himself be accused of cursing his brother. He quickly shifted the blame, saying, "I was just worried that my brother would be killed by your good intentions."

"Kindness? I brought my brother into the manor out of kindness?" Lin Jingxi sneered. "If that's the case, I should have thrown you out of the house and told you never to come back in."

"Why?"

"You're such a bad omen. You cause so much trouble for the family every month. The moment you walk in the door, someone comes to demand compensation."

"Hey, Mr. Lin, this is my house!"

Xue Suibao was even more indignant after being exposed.

"Then why don't you get your parents to kick me out?"

Lin Jingchuan, who had remained silent as a background figure, suddenly brightened up upon hearing these words.

Although Xue Suibao is very annoying, he is not entirely useless if he can help his second sister leave the Xue family.

This time, however, Xue Suibao chickened out.

"I'm not capable of that."

After saying that, Xue Suibao muttered something.

“My elder brother is perfect in every way except for his poor health. You are lucky to be his wife, and you still want to leave?”

"Pah!" Lin Jingchuan cursed inwardly. "What's the use of having better conditions?"

He's about to die, so even if things are good, his sister won't get to enjoy them.

Not to mention that his sister also has to go and be buried with this man who is about to die.

Only an ignorant playboy like Xue Suibao would blindly praise such things.

“My sister is good in every way, except that she didn’t marry well enough.”

Lin Jingchuan's words really angered Xue Suibao, who said with even more disdain.

"Your Lin family is a poor, destitute family, yet you dare to look down on our Xue family?"

"We Lin family members, if we die a natural death, live to be at least a hundred years old. Your Xue family, tsk tsk..."

The Xue family members are born with a cold poison, the only difference being the degree.

Some of them fall ill whenever there is snow or ice.

Many of them are like snow, cold, and frigid, constantly on medication and in danger of dying at any moment.

Unless they reach the Nascent Soul stage, the average lifespan of the Xue family members is no more than one hundred years.

"Ha!" Xue Suibao sneered, "It's a pity that all of you healthy members of the Lin family turned into ghosts overnight and drifted to the Underworld Sea."

"I misspoke. Your Lin family members might all have been annihilated, so how could you possibly be reincarnated in the Underworld?"

His words completely enraged Lin Jingchuan.

Lin Jingchuan immediately started hitting Xue Suibao. Xue Suibao, an ignorant and incompetent second-generation cultivator, was no match for Lin Jingchuan, who had some practical experience and a solid foundation in combat. She was quickly beaten into submission.

With a bruised and swollen face, Xue Suibao left crying, uttering a harsh threat before she went, "Lin Jingchuan, I will never let you get away with this!"

Lin Jingchuan didn't take it seriously at all. He looked at his sister, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, and considered how to tell her the truth about the Lin family.

Just then, a clear male voice was heard.

"My lady, has my brother-in-law arrived?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Jingxi replied, "That's right, you've seen him before."

This was the first time Lin Jingchuan had met this brother-in-law, and he looked him over carefully.

All that could be seen was a man in a blue robe sitting in a wheelchair. He was handsome and refined, but his physique was thinner than that of a normal adult man. Looking up, his skin was frighteningly pale, and his hair was dry at the ends.

Although he was born handsome, he lacked any spirit or energy; he looked like a good-for-nothing man who wouldn't live long.

Lin Jingchuan felt sorry for his older sister, thinking about how she had wasted several years of her life on this man.

You should know that Lin Jingxi used to be a notorious tyrant in Yancheng.

She acted like a rogue, without any semblance of a refined lady, and even boasted that she would take more than a dozen handsome men as servants and become the most flirtatious woman.

Xue Suihan was in poor health and not particularly beautiful. His sister had been staring at his sickly face for years, which was truly unfair.

Once I take my second sister to the State of Yu, I will find her several honest and virtuous men.

Lin Jingchuan had inquired and found out that in Yu Kingdom, polyandry was the norm. His sister was beautiful, from a good family, had good character, and was highly skilled in cultivation. There would definitely be a lot of men vying to enter his Lin family and become his sister's head husband!

Lin Jingxi had no idea that her younger brother, in just one meeting, was already thinking of finding her a whole bunch of bed partners.

She pulled Lin Jingchuan along and said with a smile, "That's your brother-in-law, you can also call him Brother Han."

"Hello, brother-in-law."

No matter how much Lin Jingchuan thought about it, he still couldn't neglect the proper etiquette.

The rules of aristocratic families are ingrained in his bones; he can't change them.

Moreover, even a powerful dragon cannot suppress a local snake.

This is the Xue family, not the Lin family.

Considering he was going to take Xue Suihan's wife away, Lin Jingchuan was happy to play the role of a well-behaved and polite brother-in-law.

The three reminisced for a while, asked about the disposal of the Lin family members' remains, inquired about Lin Jingchuan's journey, and asked about his opinion on the extermination of the clan.

Lin Jingchuan was extremely grateful for Ye Qingzhou's thoughtfulness. He used the words he had prepared in advance to coax his second sister into tears, and Xue Suihan also showed a sad expression.

As the three were talking about their sorrows, a servant came to report that Lord Xue had invited Lin Jingchuan to his study.

Thinking of Xue Suibao, who had been so angry that she cried and stormed off, Lin Jingchuan knew things were going badly, but there was nothing he could do to escape.

Lin Jingxi glared at Xue Suihan, but he seemed not to hear her.

Upon seeing this, Lin Jingchuan's meager appreciation and guilt towards Xue Suihan, which had arisen during their conversation, vanished instantly.
