"Young Master Yang, what's wrong with Young Master Yang? Quick, take him to the hospital, hurry!"
The hotel staff shouted in panic as they saw Yang Yuntao collapsed on the ground. A member of the Yang family dying in their hotel was a scenario they couldn't even begin to imagine the consequences of.
The chaos and shouting filled the small room, while Lin Ye, who had been beaten and thrown to the ground, was completely ignored by the hotel staff.
Lin Xi struggled to squeeze through the crowd in the room, hurriedly supporting the nearly unconscious Lin Ye, and made a swift escape.
Once they left the private room, Lin Ye's injuries began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye. Within a few breaths, his broken limbs and collapsed chest were restored to their original state.
"Let's go to the surveillance room!"
"Alright."
Taking advantage of the chaos in the hotel, Lin Ye and Lin Xi slipped into the surveillance room, deleted all the surveillance footage from that day without a word, and quickly left the hotel.
Outside, Lin Xi let out a long sigh of relief and said slowly, "So this skill can really cause someone to die from pain!"
"After all, he's not like us; his pain tolerance was too low. But fortunately, he died from the pain, and with the alcohol you gave him, even an autopsy wouldn't reveal anything. However... his appearance was too coincidental, too deliberate. It seems the Yang family has set their sights on you."
Lin Ye began to analyze, while Lin Xi's mouth twitched, "Could they be trying to use a handsome man to seduce me? With that sorry excuse of a man, they really underestimate me!"
"...It doesn't seem like it. They're probably more interested in your womb."
"What?"
Lin Xi was momentarily stunned, not quite understanding, but Lin Ye continued.
"In the awakening records, our martial arts aptitude is listed as Mystic Body, a one-in-a-million martial arts talent. If you were to have a child, that child would most likely inherit your aptitude."
"Damn, aren't they a noble family? Why are they acting like those old thugs from the slums, all wanting a piece of me!"
Lin Ye shrugged, "This world is just a makeshift troupe. The old thugs in the slums need women to vent their frustrations and dissatisfaction with life, while the noble families need excellent mothers to breed outstanding offspring. It's essentially the same thing."
When Yang Yuntao first appeared, Lin Ye had speculated on various reasons for his appearance, and this was the most probable one.
Hearing this, Lin Xi pouted, "It's not fair. Can't you also have children with noble ladies? Why is it always me who suffers?"
"Maybe... the noble ladies are all marriage prospects? Their standards are higher! Hahaha!" This chapter was taken from novelping.com without permission.
Seeing Lin Ye's expression, Lin Xi clenched her fists, "It's a pity I haven't even used my talent yet! Just froze some strong liquor."
"That's enough. If there were any traces of ice element power left on him, we'd both be suspects. But noble families don't rely on evidence to suspect others; they go by intuition. Even without evidence, the blame will likely fall on us. Be prepared for the worst. Are you scared?"
Lin Xi listened and replied, "Scared? The worst-case scenario is death, and we're not going to die. What's there to fear! At worst, we'll take them down with us!"
Lin Ye chuckled, "Let's head back! Tonight, let's fully integrate the martial arts techniques and skills we learned at the Remnant Scroll Tower. Aim to reach Late-Stage 1st-Rank or even Peak Stage within a month."
"Alright!"
...
Meanwhile, at Yuncheng East District Hospital.
Yang Li looked at the doctor shaking his head in front of her, and it felt like her world was collapsing. Her body swayed as she spoke hysterically.
"What, what did you say? Dead? No hope? How is that possible! My brother was only 20 years old, how could he just die! How could he die!!!"
"Miss Yang, there's really nothing that could be done. Mr. Yang... Mr. Yang had already passed away when he was brought in. Please accept our condolences."
Yang Li slumped to the ground, her ears buzzing, unable to hear the doctor's words, unwilling to believe this reality.
Originally, at home, she had been thinking about how her younger brother would win over Lin Xi, and then their branch of the family would rise step by step, becoming core members of the family.
But now, her brother was gone, just gone!
"Yang Li, where's your brother? Where's your brother!"
A middle-aged couple rushed over, their faces filled with panic and fear. Looking at Yang Li, they immediately asked.
Yang Li looked at her parents, her body trembling uncontrollably, tears streaming down her face.
"Dad, Mom, brother... is gone... gone..."
Boom!!!
"Ahhh!!! Who! Who is it! Who killed my son, Yang Yaotian's son, who is it? How did your brother die?"
Yang Li didn't know, but she understood in her heart that it definitely had something to do with that vixen Lin Xi. But she couldn't say it. If she did, her father would know she had instigated her brother to pursue Lin Xi. With her father's temper, she would definitely suffer.
After all, her father was a Peak 4th-Rank Martial Artist. A single slap from him could half-kill her. She couldn't say it, absolutely couldn't say it. Read this novel at NovelPing for the best experience.
"Dad, I don't know, I don't know! Wuwuwu..."
Yang Yaotian turned his gaze to the doctor, who was so frightened that he trembled as he spoke.
"Your, your son died of shock..."
"Shock? You're telling me my son, a 2nd-Rank Martial Artist, as strong as an ox, died of shock! Are you crazy, or am I crazy!"
Yang Yaotian, in a fit of rage, lifted the doctor, who trembled, "But, but your son really died of shock! He drank too much strong liquor, his abdomen was full of alcohol, and it was all low-temperature chilled strong liquor, with no obvious external injuries. So, it's determined that it was shock induced by drinking a large amount of chilled strong liquor... without a doubt."
"Ahhh!!!"
Hearing the doctor's words, Yang Yaotian, in anger, threw the doctor aside, unable to vent the fury in his heart.
"Hahaha, my son died of shock, my son died of shock! Where did he go yesterday, investigate, I want an investigation, where are the women who are always around him? Didn't he always have women by his side?"
Yang Yaotian was furious, but he wanted to investigate all of his son's activities after returning. Yang Li trembled in fear, not doubting for a moment that her father had gone mad. If he found out her brother's death might be related to her, he might really kill her in a fit of rage.
She couldn't say it, absolutely couldn't say it!
Soon, two of Yang Yuntao's followers arrived. They were girls from the slums who had taken loans from the Yang family and had a bit of beauty, having been by Yang Yuntao's side for over two years, both 1st-Rank Martial Artists.
Though called loans, they were essentially Yang Yuntao's outlets for venting. Normally, they were inseparable from Yang Yuntao.
When they learned of Yang Yuntao's death, they couldn't help but tremble, and Yang Yaotian shouted at them.
"My son always took you everywhere, where were you last night! Where!"
"Sir, last night... last night the young master went out to pick up girls, dressed very handsomely. He specifically told us not to follow him, saying we'd affect his success rate. Then, then this happened, we don't know either!"
"Hahaha, you don't know, two useless things, know nothing, then what use are you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Yaotian's large hand struck, and the bodies of the two young girls instantly shattered, terrifying Yang Li to the point of turning pale.
Yang Li's mother, Chen Xiangmei, silently wiped her tears, but a hint of ferocity flashed in her eyes as she released the power of a Mid-stage 4th-Rank Martial Artist.
"Yaotian, Yuntao's death must be related to that little fox spirit. Find her, I want her to pay with her life for our son!!!"
