Tianxin Village in Xikou County is the small coastal village where Sheng Lingwei lives.

The village chief of Tianxin Village is none other than Yu Guangliang's father, Yu Xinqiao.

At this moment, his brows were furrowed, and his cold gaze was fixed on the six large ships that were getting closer and closer in the sea. His heart was in his throat.

The people of Tianxin Village are all tough, but after so many fierce battles with the Japanese pirates over the years, it's inevitable that they've suffered some casualties.

Now, their entire village has only a little over 500 people left. Half of them are elderly, weak, sick, or disabled, a small portion are women and children, and the rest are a few able-bodied young people.

However, the total number of able-bodied men was less than one hundred. How could they possibly fight against the Japanese pirates?

It seems that this time, their Tianxin Village is in grave danger!

(︶︿︶)

After a moment of contemplation, Yu Xinqiao immediately gave instructions to Yu Guangliang.

"Guangliang, hurry back to the village and lead the villagers to hide in the back mountain. Remember, no matter what happens here, do not show your face or make any noise."

The thirty-odd young men instantly understood what Yu Xinqiao meant.

The village chief was trying to protect the lives of the villagers and planned to lead them to their deaths against the Japanese pirates.

They weren't afraid of dying.

They had long since become indifferent to life and death.

He was just worried about what would happen to the villagers after he died. How would they survive?

Why!

Yu Guangliang's expression was serious. He did not respond to his father, but instead looked at Sheng Lingwei.

"Boss, I've lost my superpower. I've tried many methods over the years, but I've never been able to cultivate it. I wonder if your situation is the same as mine?"

Sheng Lingwei smiled faintly and spoke the truth, "My superpowers, my mental strength, and my spatial ability have never disappeared."

Yu Guangliang's eyes widened, his mouth practically watering with envy. "Waaah, boss, why are you different from me?"

Sheng Lingwei shrugged.

“I don’t know either, but you don’t need to be envious. Apart from me, none of our brothers and sisters in the Bloodthirsty Black Rose can cultivate superpowers on their own. Some of them have even had their memories sealed.”

"What? Even your memories have been sealed away?" Yu Guangliang swallowed hard in shock.

So it seems he was quite lucky.

Sheng Lingwei nodded, "Yes, there's nothing to be alarmed about. Okay, go and comfort your dad, he's almost in tears."

Yu Xinqiao: ...Uh, a real man bleeds but doesn't cry. He just got sand in his eyes.

"Oh my goodness, Father, you're actually crying! This is absolutely shocking news!"

After learning about his boss's situation, Yu Guangliang felt as if he had found a pillar of stability, and his heart, which had been in suspense, was finally at ease. He then started acting erratically again.

Yu Xinqiao was so angry that his head was throbbing. He roared angrily, "Get lost! What time is it now? I'm not in the mood to mess around with you. Hurry up and go back to the village to finish the task I just gave you."

Yu Guangliang grinned and said, "Dad, no need. With my eldest son here, those Japanese pirates aren't even enough to fill her teeth."

Sheng Lingwei was speechless. "What are you talking about? What do you mean 'not enough to fill a tooth gap'? Humph, those trash only deserve to be trampled underfoot."

"Hehe, boss, you're right. I misspoke. Don't be angry. I promise I won't say it again next time."

Yu Xinqiao: ...What's going on here?

Thirty-odd young men: ...Guangliang, we're in a real crisis, and you still have the mood to brag?

Uh, Miss Sheng seems quite confident, huh? Could it be that she also likes to brag?

Seeing the deep suspicion and speechless expressions on everyone's faces, Yu Guangliang helplessly shrugged, blaming it all on his reputation as a "braggart king" being too deeply ingrained in people's minds.

"Oh dear, how can I explain this to you so that you'll believe me?"

Yu Guangliang irritably rubbed his dry hair.

"Alright, seeing is believing. You can just stand aside and follow my boss's orders."

As for other things...

You don't need to worry at all; worrying is pointless.

My eldest daughter is the most powerful person in the world, practically a living devil. She can make anyone live or die at will.

A living Yama!

Yu Xinqiao and the others' mouths twitched violently.

Good heavens, this is an overstatement. Yu Guangliang usually knows how to behave appropriately and maintain a proper balance. What's wrong with him today?

It was as if they had completely lost their minds.

Could it be that he wanted to show off his masculinity because Miss Sheng was here?

But with his skinny frame, apart from his bones, there was absolutely no sign of masculinity in him.

Yu Guangliang sighed helplessly and could only turn to Sheng Lingwei for help, "Boss, look, they don't believe in your abilities."

Sheng Lingwei glanced at everyone with an indifferent expression.

"It's alright, strength will prove everything. Now, everyone, keep your eyes wide open and watch carefully."

As soon as he finished speaking, a deafening thunderbolt appeared in the sky, and the lightning bolt seemed to have a mind of its own, striking straight at the six large ships.

"Aaaaaah... Help me, help me..."

Instantly, terrified screams erupted from the sea, and powerful arcs of electricity were visible to the naked eye flowing across the six ships.

A sea breeze blew by, bringing with it a strong, acrid smell.

Yu Xinqiao and the others were so shocked that their eyes almost popped out. They only came to their senses when the shrill screams gradually faded away.

Good heavens, they can't believe their eyes!

Those Japanese pirates were struck dead by lightning?

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Yu Guangliang laughed heartily, puffed out his chest, and waved his hand at Yu Xinqiao and the others, his tone proud and smug.

"Did you see that? That bolt of lightning just now was my boss unleashing his divine power! How about that? Were you all shocked?"

The crowd nodded in disbelief, their eyes filled with respect and admiration, yet also with a deep sense of fear, as they looked at Sheng Lingwei.

"Um, Miss Sheng, I was very rude just now, please don't be angry."

"Yes, yes, Miss Sheng, please don't hold it against us ignorant people."

Yu Guangliang frowned. "Hey, what are you guys doing?"

Although my eldest daughter is incredibly capable, she is broad-minded, kind-hearted, hates evil, and has a strong sense of right and wrong. She would never kill innocent people indiscriminately.

"He's not a petty person, you don't need to be so afraid, my eldest isn't angry with you."

Yu Xinqiao quickly winked at Yu Guangliang and whispered, "You brat, shut up. You have no right to speak here."

Yu Guangliang: ...

I'm so tired. These days, telling the truth is considered boasting. Is it a moral decline or a distortion of human nature?

He swore that he had never lied in his entire life!

Looking at her dejected younger brother, Sheng Lingwei couldn't help but smile, patted his shoulder reassuringly, and then looked at Yu Xinqiao.

“Uncle, what Guangliang said is also what I said. You don’t need to be so afraid of me. I’m actually very easy to get along with.”

"That's right, that's right, my eldest son is so great."

Yu Guangliang nodded vigorously.

"Also, everything I said before was true. I wasn't bragging. If you don't believe me, you can ask my eldest son for confirmation."
