"Come on, there's nothing else to do here."
I put the chairs away and started walking towards the exit. Near the doors, I looked directly at Patriarch Lan's face. He could be considered one of the strongest on the continent, few are superior to him in strength.
I moved my right hand towards the man's face, without touching him.
'But he looks so fragile.'
Once someone get to my stage, it's hard to consider others as people. I have many ways to end your little existences as if they were nothing more than little ants that live thanks to my mercy.
When I reached this level, I never thought about how close I was to becoming a God. I gained a power that gave me the ability to treat this world as if it were my own playground; and living beings as mere toys.
I let out a sigh and moved my hands away from him. It would be boring to finish things so quickly; A show has to be unique and memorable. I walked towards the exit again. Once outside, I could see guards running towards our direction. Unconsciously, they always avoided colliding with us. Everyone was running as if souls were escaping from their bodies and trying to catch them.
I continued my march without stopping, with the sunlight warming my back. When we were far enough away to not be noticed, I opened a spatial rift in front of me.
"Come in, it's going to be a long day."
After watching him cross the rift, I looked at the land of the Lan Clan one last time before leaving.
"We will meet soon, patriarch Lan."
…..
Unlike the spectacular structures we saw before, what is before our eyes was just an old, but well-maintained residential complex. An old man and a girl who seemed to be his granddaughter were hanging out in the garden of the house.
'Are they your family?'
I walked towards the girl who looked no older than twenty; to know how old she really has. In this world it is very difficult to guess people's ages from their external appearance. Even a child who looks 5 years old can be a depraved person over four hundred years old who has strange liking.
Even myself, who despite turning more than two thousand years old; I only look like I'm in my early twenties. Well, it would be weirder if I want to be seen as old, if I can look young.
I approached with a smile towards the girl, who seemed to notice my presence. Surprisingly, she possessed a higher cultivation than one would expect from someone living in such a rural place.
'Core formation stage, not bad.'
"Hello, I'm Xiao Hei; and this is my brother, Xiao Yi."
"He...hello, I'm Ye Li."
'Are those blushes I see on her face? … How do I look right now?'
I know I'm young, but I haven't had time to pay attention to my appearance among everything I had to do. Come to think of it, how was Mo Hei Xin described in the novel?
I took out a mirror and held it in my hand while I looked at my face in it. Long, straight black hair; accompanied by blood red eyes. Wow, it looks better than I expected.
Wait, what does my disciple look like? I turned my head towards my Zheng Yi and inspected him from head to toe. The boy isn't bad either.
Considering that she has two handsome men in front of her, her reaction could be considered normal. When I looked back at the girl, I could see that her blush had deepened. I imagine she have realized the reason why I took out the mirror; Sigh, what an innocent girl.
Instead of suspecting who we are, and our purpose; she pay more attention to our appearance. She resembles her brother a lot in this respect, a man who is guided by his genitals. Was there incest in this novel? I don't remember anything like that happening, nor was this girl mentioned much at the end of the novel. What have become of them? Do Ye Xiu visit them regularly?
What an unfilial boy, leaving his grandfather and sister in a town so far from the city while he looks for women to have fun with.
I heaved a sigh, maintained a curious expression; and I approached with soft steps towards the young woman. I slowly extended my right hand and tried to gently caress her cheek. A smile appeared on my face when I saw that the girl did not avoid contact; on the contrary, she timidly accepted the touch with her eyes closed.
"You got lucky."
I extended my index finger and placed it on her forehead. Before she could react, a wave of Qi entered her consciousness. It ran through her brain, and back to my finger.
"Who am I to you?"
"Lo…, lord; You are my lord."
I rubbed her on the head and said, "Good job."
"Your lord has a job for you. Are you going to help your lord?"
"Yeah!"
"Do you see that old man in there? "I want you to drag him before me."
"Good!"
After nodding with great passion, she ran inside and dragged her grandfather by her hair towards me. Poor old man, with how broad his body is, and she drags him with the few hairs he has on his head.
"Break his leg."
A cracking sound came out, accompanied by a scream from the living fossil. He must be very confused by the situation; it is difficult to understand why his granddaughter would treat him like this on any given day.
I took out a pill and put it in his mouth; He didn't recover from his injuries, but I do have his full attention.
"Do you know who is Ye Xiu?"
"Leave us alone, we don't know about any Ye Xiu!"
How should I view this situation? Doesn't he want to know about his grandson's problems? Does he try to lie to live? Does he still love his grandson?
I remember that in situations like these; the grandfather would say with righteousness and honesty that he is his grandson. What has changed? Has my existence altered the logical reasoning of the novels?
"Honey, who is Ye Xiu to you?"
"It's my brother, sir!"
"Good job, you earned a hug."
She came running towards me; If she had a tail, it would already be moving. She is like a dog, quite obedient and cute. While the girl hugged me happily, the old man gave me a look with disgust.
"What have you done to her, demon!"
"You don't need to get upset, I present to you my new pet."
"ANIMAL! My granddaughter is not your toy! My grandson will avenge me! You will die!"
I listened to his threats until he didn't have the strength to continue screaming. I showed a doubtful expression and said:
"But I have come to you for your grandson. More than avenging you, he brought death to you, right?"
"You …"
I exhaled a breath and continued with my words.
"Your grandson has provoked me; I'm sorry for you, but you're gonna die slowly because of him. Don't worry, you won't feel alone, Ye Xiu will accompany you soon."
I said my last words with a smile hanging on my face.
"I'm going to be generous this time. "I will give you a farewell gift."
"It will be your granddaughter who sends you into the shadows of death."
Obeying my words, the girl began to hit her grandfather.
"Pray for a more filial grandson in your next life."
"Evil, you're not going to have a good ending!!"
His scream of protest and threat continued until it was drowned out by the increasing sound of blows.
