Chapter 57 – A family should be neat and tidy


“Ye, Ye Shuangluo?!”

Hmm?

Hearing someone call his name, Ye Shuangluo instinctively looked towards the source of the voice.

Under the tree stood two youthful figures, a boy and a girl, both staring at Ye Shuangluo and Xiao Jianuo in stunned silence.

“It seems you have something to take care of. I won’t disturb you any longer. I’ll head back and report to the old man.”

With that, Xiao Jianuo sensibly refrained from lingering any further. He took out a scroll from his space backpack.

As the scroll unfurled, a flash of white light appeared, and he vanished on the spot.

Watching Xiao Jianuo leave, Ye Shuangluo slowly approached the twins, a kind smile on his face, and gently asked:

“Did you two see everything just now?”

The two nodded instinctively, then shook their heads in perfect unison.

With a radiant smile, Ye Shuangluo summoned the wind element to envelop the two and brought them back to the villa.

“My dear uncle and aunt, look who’s back!”

Smack!

Before the people arrived, the voice did. The two white-eyed wolves kneeling on the ground nervously checked their son and daughter, who had been thrown beside them.

After confirming they were unharmed, the village woman breathed a sigh of relief and shouted at Ye Shuangluo:

“If you have a problem, come at me! Don’t touch Riyue and Riyin!”

She then shielded her son and daughter like a mother hen protecting her chicks.

Ye Shuangluo watched this scene with great interest and couldn’t help but clap his hands.

Clap, clap, clap!

“Such deep parental love, truly touching.”

Hearing the mocking words, the village woman glared at Ye Shuangluo with resentment, screaming hoarsely:

“If I had known this day would come, I would have killed you when you were a child, sending you to join your dead parents.”

“Too bad you missed your chance.”

With a flick of his hand, Ye Shuangluo pulled Jiang Riyue and Jiang Riyin to his side.

Jiang Riyue immediately hugged Ye Shuangluo’s leg, sobbing and apologizing.

“Cousin! Please, don’t, I was wrong, I’m sorry.”

Ye Shuangluo gently patted his head, speaking softly:

“It’s okay, just be careful in your next life.”

Swish!

A wind blade lightly sliced across the boy’s neck, and his head, filled with fear and unease, fell to the ground.

“Ah! Ah! Ah! Riyue!”

As Ye Shuangluo watched the hysterical village woman, he created another wind blade.

Swish!

The same method, no surprises, Jiang Riyin’s head also fell to the ground.

After dealing with the two white-eyed wolves, Ye Shuangluo began observing their parents’ reactions.

The village woman, Lin Xingyu, alternated between crying and laughing while holding the two heads. Their father, the hypocrite Jiang Yiming, showed no signs of sorrow.

Even now, he continued to plead humbly.

“Little Shuang! I’m your uncle, they, they are outsiders, but we are family!

I’m your mother’s only brother. If you kill me, the Jiang family line will end, and your mother won’t forgive you.”

Jiang Yiming pointed at his headless children and then at his crazed wife, shouting hoarsely.

“…You truly have lowered my expectations.”

To save his life, he called his own children outsiders. Whether he meant it or said it to survive, it only proved one thing: Jiang Yiming was a complete hypocrite, deserving of destruction.

“Don’t worry, my dear uncle, I have something special prepared just for you.”

With that, he took out the “Ghost Luo Blade” from his space backpack.

Then he raised the execution tool high towards the hypocrite and the village woman.

“Why did you come back alone? Did you lose?”

Xiao Jianuo had just teleported back to his home in the Capital. The dizziness from the spatial teleportation hadn’t even worn off when he heard his old man’s stern voice.

“Yes, I lost.”

He knew he couldn’t lie about the outcome, so he confessed honestly.

“Hmph!”

The square-faced old man snorted, his tone filled with dissatisfaction.

“Explain yourself. Didn’t you brag about how strong you were? How did you end up losing?”

Scratching his head, Xiao Jianuo replied helplessly:

“Old man, I wasn’t bragging. I am quite strong, but my opponent was even stronger.”

He then cast the video he had recorded on his phone onto the TV, letting the old man see for himself how he lost.

As the old man watched the fight in the video, his initial displeasure slowly faded, replaced by a serious expression.

After the video ended, the old man remained silent for a long time before slowly speaking:

“It’s not your fault. You did your best, but your opponent…

That young man’s reaction speed and crisis management were superior to yours. You lost fair and square.”

The old man then analyzed every move in their fight, with Xiao Jianuo nodding in agreement beside him.

Suddenly, the old man grabbed Xiao Jianuo’s ear and shouted:

“How do you still have the face to idle around here?

Get back to training immediately. Next time you encounter that young man, find a way to redeem yourself.

This time it was just a spar, losing didn’t cost you your life. But on the battlefield, the enemy won’t show you any mercy.”

Xiao Jianuo quickly begged for mercy. Once the old man let go, he fled the scene.

After Xiao Jianuo left, the always stern square-faced old man sighed.

Though his grandson was still lively, the video showed him being pierced through his limbs and shoulders.

He was just one step away from death.

“Sigh.”

The old man let out a long sigh. The feeling of helplessness was unbearable. He could only pray that this was his grandson’s first and last brush with death.

“Shocking! Two men doing this in broad daylight!”

Ye Shuangluo stared expressionlessly at the video on his computer.

In less than two hours, the video of his fight with Xiao Jianuo had been edited and officially released.

The video went viral instantly.

On some short video platforms, many people even provided commentary on the fight.

As agreed, his face was blurred.

But the distinctive Mortal Kill blade still allowed netizens to recognize him.

Fair and Just Mouse: “Damn, I didn’t know Brother Black Knife was this strong?”

White-Clad Sword Immortal: “I thought Brother Black Knife only played with knives, but he’s also skilled with ice spikes and wind blades.”

16-Year-Old Wild Stepson: “My rating is that he’s not as good as Louise (dog head).”

Some people found Xiao Jianuo’s abilities impressive, and since he showed his face, he gained many fans.

The comments were diverse, but the most liked one was from a girl named Little Pig Bao Bao.

“Tch, just using flashy tricks. Louise could kill these two losers with one arrow.”

Good punchline. Whether Louise can kill me with one arrow is unknown, but your punchline is unbeatable.

After Little Pig Bao Bao posted her comment, many people followed up with their own.

Some were rational, suggesting that Ye Shuangluo and Xiao Jianuo should challenge Louise.

Many female netizens agreed with her comment.

Ye Shuangluo shook his head and took out the Demon Soul Amber from his space backpack, muttering to himself:

“I really don’t know how your progress increases.”

[Demon Soul Amber]

[Progress: 100%]

[Generate exclusive skill: Yes/No]

After sending the white-eyed wolf family to their end, the progress of the Demon Soul Amber inexplicably reached 100%.

Though it was a good thing, he still didn’t understand how the progress increased.

Oh well, it’s already full anyway.

Ye Shuangluo silently thought “Yes.”

The Demon Soul Amber instantly transformed into a mix of blood-red and black light, merging into his body.
