The End Times as a Song

Chapter 366 Urgent

Upon hearing this, Ling Shu became anxious and immediately started arguing with Old Madam Ling:

"Mother, how can you be so heartless? She's your own granddaughter...!"

The spirit of Old Madam Ling possessed Ling Shu and subjected her to a humiliating lecture about the family's reputation:

"Your own granddaughter is a half-demon, do you think that's something to be proud of? You fell in love with a human and gave birth to this monstrous offspring, do you think the Spirit Cat Clan benefited from that? Ling Shu, have you no shame...? You've disgraced the family, you're a disgrace!"

When Linglin saw someone humiliating her mother, she immediately stepped forward to protect Lingshu.

"You old hag, you're not allowed to insult my mother like that...!"

Madam Ling did not make things difficult for Ling Lin; instead, she subtly praised him through both praise and criticism.

"Little brat, I didn't realize you were so protective of your own!"

Linglin failed to grasp the implied meaning in Old Madam Ling's words and continued to protect his humiliated mother:

"I'm just being protective of my own, so what? You're going to tell me what to do? Haven't you always refused to acknowledge me as your own granddaughter? What kind of skill is it to always bully your own daughter? If you're so capable, why don't you bully those people outside who bully our Spirit Cat Clan! You old hag, don't you know that family is for protecting?"

Old Madam Ling snorted coldly and stood up; she was enraged.

"Hmph...! You little brat, so sharp-tongued! Since you dare to lecture me, guards, guards...!"

Ling Shu pulled Ling Lin behind her to protect her:

"Mother, it's all Shu'er's fault. Please stop tormenting Lin'er. I beg you, I beg you, Mother, for my sake, please don't hold it against Lin'er. She's just an ignorant child."

Linglin, holding Lingshu's hand, called out:

"Mother, don't beg that old hag, get up, don't cry! Ling'er is here!"

Ling Shu ignored Ling Lin and remained kneeling, refusing to get up.

Seeing that Ling Shu refused to get up, Ling Lin simply knelt down as well, admitting his mistake of disrespecting his elders:

"Grandma, Lin'er was wrong...! Please, Grandma, don't punish my mother...!"

Ling Jing smiled, still not satisfied, and continued to lecture Ling Lin:

"Wrong? Where did you go wrong...? I, Lingjing, have lived this long, and this is the first time I've ever seen such a difficult child like you. Grandma, you've become well-behaved now, and you're not calling me an old hag anymore...?"

This time, Linglin did not refute, and knelt down with a very perfunctory attitude:

"Grandma, Linglin wouldn't dare...!"

Ling Jing had no intention of letting Ling Lin off the hook. Leaning on her cane, she jerked to her feet, her voice trembling with excitement.

"No, I'd like to see what kind of trouble you're up to this time...?"

Ling Lin couldn't help but glare at Ling Jing and forcefully reminded her:

"You old hag, don't go too far...!"

Ling Jing shook her cane and angrily rebuked Ling Lin again:

"You wretched child, say that again?"

Seeing that yielding was useless, Ling Lin decided to stop and directly confronted Ling Jing:

"Fine! You old hag, since you're so eager to hear it, I'll grant your wish, you old hag, you old hag...!"

Ling Shu couldn't stand it anymore and angrily rebuked Ling Lin:

"Lin'er, don't be like this...!"

Linglin had so many grievances in her heart. At eight years old, she had to bear far too much. At this moment, she had to speak out, and she said to Lingshu with pent-up anger:

"Mother, today I'm getting married, so please let me say what's on my mind! I'm afraid I won't have another chance later...!"

In a verbal sparring match, Ling Jing was clearly no match for Ling Lin. At this point, Ling Jing was so enraged by Ling Lin that she clutched her heart and kept issuing orders to call for reinforcements.
