Chapter 55 – Ye Shuangluo of the ‘Soft Heart’


Inside the Shanhai Villa.

Ye Shuangluo wore a gentle smile as he released control of the Wind Element.

The head that had been carried by the Wind Element immediately fell to the ground.

It rolled to a stop in front of the White-Eyed Wolf couple.

“Pr… President Fu!”

Lin Xingyu was so shocked that she fell to the ground.

Jiang Yiming was also in a daze. Just a few days ago, Fu Shaoyan had boasted at the dinner table,

“In Luozhou, I am the sky. If your nephew disagrees, I can make him comply, whether by force or persuasion.”

The image of Fu Shaoyan, who had been so confident and domineering at the dinner table, was still fresh in their minds.

Jiang Yiming glanced at the head on the ground again, eyes wide open in disbelief.

It was hard to imagine it was the same person, and the time span was less than 24 hours.

Ye Shuangluo sat on the sofa, casually stabbing Mortal Kill into the floor in front of him.

He then glanced at Jiang Yiming and Lin Xingyu, causing them to uncontrollably kneel again.

“Allow me to introduce myself, Ye Shuangluo. You should have seen me on TV a lot recently, right?”

Jiang Yiming looked at the black long knife he had often seen on TV and swallowed hard.

The overwhelming news reports and online information about several “superhumans” had been everywhere recently.

He had indeed seen Ye Shuangluo frequently on TV, but he never expected that the “superhuman” who appeared at school, wielding a long knife and slaying goblins with a single strike, was his nephew, whom he had always looked down upon.

Meanwhile, the village woman was in a daze, muttering incessantly:

“This isn’t fair, no, no, he was supposed to be a waste, this isn’t scientific.”

Lin Xingyu looked despondently at the floor. Although she was just a village woman, illiterate and uneducated,

she wasn’t a fool. When she saw her oppressed and bullied nephew return with President Fu’s head,

she knew that Ye Shuangluo had become a terrifying existence she could no longer control or provoke.

This realization was more painful than death for her.

She had once received help from Ye Shuangluo’s parents, but she saw it as charity, a humiliation to her family.

“Why do you always make spicy crayfish? You don’t even eat it, just to humiliate us, right?

To constantly remind us that we’re poor and can’t afford crayfish, right?

Your whole family deserves to die!”

So when she learned of Ye Shuangluo’s parents’ accidental deaths, she eagerly adopted Ye Shuangluo and began eight years of oppression and revenge.

But when she saw that her oppression and revenge had no effect,

and now personally felt the essence of life’s oppression, she went mad, pounding the floor in a frenzy.

Ye Shuangluo watched her madness with interest.

Jiang Yiming, perhaps unable to bear it or unwilling to see his wife go mad while he remained indifferent,

hugged Lin Xingyu tightly, sobbing:

“Wife, I told you, we shouldn’t treat Xiao Shuang like that. After all, I’m his real uncle, his only family in this world.

Boohoo, when Xiao Shuang was born, we both held him. How did it come to this?”

Ye Shuangluo watched with a look of amusement. Playing the family card, huh? Well, he could play along.

“Yes, Uncle, you are my only family in this world.”

Jiang Yiming’s eyes lit up with joy. So what if you’re a “superhuman”?

In the end, you’re still a kid, easily swayed by a few tears and emotional words.

Feeling a bit smug, he heard Ye Shuangluo continue:

“I’m a soft-hearted person, so I can’t bear to see your family of White-Eyed Wolves unable to reunite. Don’t worry, after I kill you two,

I’ll send those ungrateful brats, Riyue and Riyin, down to join you.”

The joy in Jiang Yiming’s eyes vanished, realizing that Ye Shuangluo wasn’t joking; he was serious.

The village woman, hearing Ye Shuangluo’s words, stopped her madness and stared at him with dead eyes.

Suddenly, she screamed:

“I’ll fight you to the death!”

She broke free from Jiang Yiming’s embrace and lunged at the boy on the sofa with a fruit knife.

Crack!

Lin Xingyu’s full-force attack had no effect, only bending the knife’s tip.

Ye Shuangluo flicked his finger, sending her flying over ten meters.

This scene intensified Jiang Yiming’s fear, the overwhelming strength making him too scared to even think of resisting.

“Goodbye, Uncle.”

Two wind blades appeared beside Ye Shuangluo. With a wave of his hand, they shot out instantly.

But surprisingly, the wind blades didn’t fly forward but went straight backward.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The wind blades attacked the empty air, then stopped simultaneously.

At the same time, a boy’s voice suddenly echoed in the villa.

“Oh, I’ve been discovered.”

A boy’s figure appeared in the once-empty air, holding the two wind blades.

The boy looked relaxed, casually clashing the wind blades together to cancel them out.

Ye Shuangluo stood up from the sofa, pulling Mortal Kill from the floor, pointing the blade at the boy.

“You’ve been following me, what do you want?”

The boy raised his hands in a surrender gesture, slowly descending to the ground.

“Hey, don’t be nervous. I mean no harm. Let me introduce myself, Xiao Jianuo, leader of Special Task Force 2. Like you, I’m a player.”

In fact, even if Xiao Jianuo hadn’t said it, Ye Shuangluo knew he was a player.

It was an instinct, a natural ability to distinguish players from natives.

So when he saw Xiao Jianuo, he knew he was a player.

And… ordinary people couldn’t turn invisible or fly.

“I don’t care who you are. I just want to know why you’ve been following me since I went to the Fu family. What do you want?”

Ye Shuangluo’s strong perception had long alerted him to someone following him.

He just didn’t know the follower’s intentions, so he hadn’t acted.

Xiao Jianuo pursed his lips, helplessly saying:

“I originally planned to stop you, but who knew you’d start a killing spree, and I couldn’t stop you.”

Yeah, right.

Ye Shuangluo smirked coldly, recalling how Xiao Jianuo had stood in mid-air at the Fu family villa, munching on sunflower seeds while watching him kill.

You call that not stopping me? You didn’t even try, did you?

Facing Ye Shuangluo’s cold smile, Xiao Jianuo felt a bit guilty. Could the other party have some ability or equipment to see through invisibility? Had he been watching his every move?

“Ahem, anyway, I followed you because you killed many people at the suburban villa yesterday. Although you burned their bodies to ashes,”

Xiao Jianuo hadn’t finished when Ye Shuangluo interrupted him.

“I don’t care how you found out. Just tell me, what do you want?”

Xiao Jianuo sighed, realizing this target was impatient, and said directly:

“Making you surrender and face legal punishment is impossible, and the World Consciousness wouldn’t agree.

How about this, let’s have a duel. If you win, I guarantee no one will bother you again. If I win, consider joining me as a colleague, okay?”

This condition… had no downside for Ye Shuangluo.

Even if he lost, it wouldn’t affect him much. The other party had said “consider,” not “must.”

“Alright, let’s fight.”

As soon as Ye Shuangluo spoke, Xiao Jianuo immediately flew back into the air.

Ye Shuangluo: …

Are you afraid I’ll ambush you?

Do I seem that dishonorable?

Facing Ye Shuangluo’s gaze, Xiao Jianuo coughed tactically and said seriously:

“There’s not enough space here. Let’s fight outside.”

Ye Shuangluo naturally had no objections, so the two went outside the house.
