[Congratulations, Host, for triggering a reward. You have obtained the battle technique Minor Thunder Fist, one battle weapon Wenye Sword, one Seven Fiends Shield, 10 months of cultivation, and 2,000 villain points.]
[Notice: Minor Thunder Fist is a Low-grade Profound-tier battle technique. It condenses thunder force within a small range, focusing on precision and penetration. Strikes carry a slight paralyzing effect.]
[Notice: Wenye Sword is a Mid-grade Profound-tier battle weapon. The blade is entirely dark black, narrow and thin. An Obscure Moon Spirit Stone is embedded in the guard. It makes no sound when drawn, no whistle when cutting through the air, and is almost imperceptible when wielded in the night.]
[Notice: High-grade Profound-tier Seven Fiends Shield is a one-time defensive item capable of blocking a full-force strike below the 5th stage.]
[Notice: The host’s cultivation has advanced from the late 2nd stage Qi Refining Realm to the early 3rd stage Qi Refining Realm.]
[Notice: Host’s remaining villain points: 3,000.]
As the notifications echoed in his mind, a faint smile slowly curved at the corner of Ye Wudu’s lips.
He knew his actions might increase her favorability, but he hadn’t expected such a strong effect. A direct increase of 5 points had triggered the third reward.
As for Zhou Yuanyuan’s life, though it was a bit regrettable, he truly didn’t care.
She had only ever been a temporary outlet for him. He had never intended to keep her.
Besides… how could she compare to his own wife, a peerless beauty who could also trigger rewards as a Female Sword Immortal?
At that moment, Ye Wudu suddenly felt that he truly possessed the qualities of a villain. It seemed the system hadn’t chosen its host at random.
Perhaps, before transmigrating, certain rules had restrained his true nature. But in this world, he could finally be himself without burden.
Because in this world, there was only one rule… the strong devour the weak.
After this incident, Ye Wudu realized that Murong Wanyin’s personality was somewhat different from what he had imagined.
Of course, she was also different from what existed in the original host’s memories. The original host had never truly understood her.
The system had already hinted that, according to the original trajectory, he would be flayed, have his tendons pulled out, his limbs severed, and be turned into a Human Stick.
Combined with Murong Wanyin’s actions this time, as well as the possessiveness she had displayed…
The more he thought about it, the more it felt off. This wasn’t the cold and aloof Female Sword Immortal he had imagined… but rather a yandere Female Sword Immortal.
Things were becoming more and more interesting.
Feeling the warmth of his hand and seeing the gentle smile on his face, Murong Wanyin suddenly realized… she loved him.
How had she never noticed before that he was this good?
“You don’t need to apologize. I’ve made you suppress yourself for too long. I bear some responsibility as well.”
Seeing that Ye Wudu had no intention of blaming her, Murong Wanyin rarely felt a trace of embarrassment and even began reflecting on herself.
Ye Wudu was just about to take advantage of the moment and draw closer to her.
At that very moment, the courtyard gate was suddenly kicked open.
A burly middle-aged man with streaks of gray hair and an imposing presence walked in. It was Liu Yu.
Behind him followed a group of martial artists in uniform, each holding torches, their expressions fierce and menacing.
Ye Wudu released Murong Wanyin’s face, his eyes narrowing slightly.
So this old man had finally tracked him down… but he shouldn’t have any evidence.
After all, all witnesses had already been killed by his wife. Enjoying the story? Read on at g.com.
But in this world, solid evidence wasn’t necessary. Suspicion alone was enough.
Liu Yu’s gaze first fell on Murong Wanyin. Even someone as experienced as the Patriarch of the Liu family couldn’t help but feel a moment of astonishment.
No wonder his foolish son had been so obsessed with her that it had cost him his life.
Then his gaze shifted to Ye Wudu, his face turning cold. “So you’re that useless pretty boy?”
Since Ye Wudu had never revealed his name, people in North Desolation City didn’t know it. They simply referred to him as the “pretty boy.”
Ye Wudu nodded slightly, his expression calm. “Patriarch Liu, making such a grand entrance… what brings you here?”
Liu Yu stared at him. His reaction was beyond expectations.
He had deliberately kicked the door open to overwhelm him with presence, to see how he would react.
But there was almost no reaction at all… not even a change in expression.
Ye Wudu naturally felt no fear. Not only was he now at the early 3rd stage Qi Refining Realm, but beside him stood a terrifyingly powerful Female Sword Immortal.
If things truly couldn’t be resolved, he could simply let her take action.
Of course, if it could be avoided, it was better not to fight.
Because Murong Wanyin would definitely not stand aside. It was best not to let her act, lest she discover his true cultivation.
Liu Yu studied him with a dark expression. “Did you have any conflict with my son?”
Ye Wudu remained composed. “Conflict would be an exaggeration. Your son had no shame, setting his sights on a married woman. I did scold him publicly a few times.”
Liu Yu’s anger flared as he shouted, “Boy, say that again!”
As his words fell, dozens of martial artists surged forward, surrounding Ye Wudu and Murong Wanyin.
Facing the armed men holding weapons and torches, neither Ye Wudu nor Murong Wanyin showed the slightest change in expression.
Even with her memory lost, Murong Wanyin’s bearing as a Female Sword Immortal remained. Such a scene could not intimidate her.
In truth, if she still had her memories, these ordinary people daring to surround her would already be corpses.
Although she was not one to kill indiscriminately, when she did kill, she showed no mercy.
Ye Wudu shrugged and smiled. “What? Is the Liu family so overbearing that even the truth cannot be spoken?”
At that moment, dense footsteps sounded from outside.
“Who dares touch our Gang Leader!”
Li Mazi shouted loudly as he rushed in with dozens of burly men dressed in different clothes, surrounding the Liu family in turn.
Ye Wudu was amused. This Li Mazi… had guts.
In truth, Li Mazi had hesitated about coming. After all, he was facing the Liu family. The source of this chapter is g.com.
From the moment Liu Yu left his residence with men, Li Mazi had already received the news. He had been monitoring the Liu family all along.
After much hesitation, he finally decided to gamble.
He knew Liu Long had been killed by his Gang Leader. Since Ye Wudu dared to kill him, it meant he wasn’t afraid of the Liu family.
Now was the time to show loyalty. At worst, it meant death. People like them in small gangs never lived long anyway.
Li Mazi appeared calm, but the other members of the Black Cloud Gang were far more fearful.
After all, they were facing one of the top three families in North Desolation City.
Liu Yu stared at Li Mazi and sneered. “Li Mazi, your wings have grown? You dare oppose me? Back when you were starving, I even gave you a few buns.”
Li Mazi clasped his hands. “I didn’t expect Patriarch Liu to still remember someone like me. I am grateful. But you barging into my Gang Leader’s residence at night… I cannot pretend I didn’t see it.”
He sneered inwardly. That incident was true, but Liu Yu had only told half the story.
Seven years ago, Li Mazi had participated in underground fights in the Liu residence for these nobles’ entertainment.
He had beaten several people to death to earn those buns and a few pieces of silver. That was something he had earned with his life, not a simple act of charity.
Liu Yu had no interest in dealing with someone like Li Mazi. He turned his gaze back to Ye Wudu. “Is my son’s death related to you?”
Ye Wudu shook his head. “Yesterday, my wife and I were at home sleeping. We know nothing about it.”
He lied without even blinking.
Liu Yu stared at him, trying to find any sign of deceit.
But all he saw was calmness. Nothing more.
He then turned to Murong Wanyin. “Is what he said true? Did you remain at home the entire time?”
Murong Wanyin looked at Liu Yu, her eyes devoid of emotion, and said nothing.
Ye Wudu chuckled. “My wife never speaks to any man other than me. Patriarch Liu, you’d better not question her.”
Liu Yu’s gaze moved back and forth between the two, weighing whether to take action.
At the very least, he saw no fear or guilt on either of them.
For some reason, that woman standing there, doing nothing and saying nothing, still gave him an inexplicable pressure.
“Let’s go!”
After a long moment of hesitation, Liu Yu chose to trust his instincts and did not act rashly.
This couple, facing his sudden intrusion with such indifference… they were certainly no ordinary people.
“Hey, Patriarch Liu, you broke my courtyard gate and haven’t paid for it yet!”
Ye Wudu called out toward his retreating figure, but Liu Yu didn’t even respond.
“Li Mazi, go buy a new gate and install it. Dismiss the others.”
“Yes!”
Seeing the Liu family withdraw, all the Black Cloud Gang members let out a breath of relief. Some even collapsed to the ground…
