Ata, who was still young and hadn't seen much of the world, said, "You really know how to enjoy yourself."
Qi An mocked him: "You country bumpkin who's never seen the world, this is what you call enjoying yourself?"
Ata: "Isn't this what you call enjoyment?"
"This is nothing. You haven't seen my properties in the demon realm. I have seventy-two palaces with walls made of pure gold, floors made of white jade, and lighting made of fist-sized luminous pearls."
Ata was stunned: "Is it really that extravagant?"
Dragons love to decorate their caves with gold, jewels, and all sorts of dazzling treasures, and it seems that the dragon prince Yazi has inherited this trait.
"These are just the tip of the iceberg. What's truly valuable are the treasures I have in my palace. I guarantee that no one on the Liyue Continent is richer than me."
"I have so many beautiful women and handsome men serving me that I can't even count them all. Those who aren't good-looking won't even get a chance to sweep the floor."
Qi An said smugly.
What she didn't say was how she acquired those treasures.
In the demon race, any treasure she sets her sights on is something she must get her hands on. Refuse to give it to her? She'll beat you until you kneel down and offer it to her with both hands.
In a world where strength reigns supreme, it's that simple and brutal.
Ata was extremely envious, feeling fortunate that she had gotten lucky and had found a wealthy man by simply choosing him.
After feeling refreshed, Qi An prepared to go back.
She smirked, "Ata, I'll show you a good show tonight, I guarantee it'll be amazing."
Atta: Looking forward to it.
When I got home, everything was as usual. The house was spotless, and dinner was ready.
Chen Li fawned over him, handing him chopsticks: "Master, dinner is ready. It's all your favorite dishes. Eat it while it's hot."
After saying that, he squatted down in the corner and went to eat his share of steamed buns with his parents.
All three of them nervously glanced at her out of the corner of their eyes, thinking they were being very discreet.
Qi An pretended not to know anything and picked up some food to eat.
Only after seeing her devour the entire table of dishes did the three of them feel relieved, and they felt that even the steamed buns tasted exceptionally delicious today.
They will soon be free.
After finishing his meal, Qi An went to bed to rest amidst the expectant gazes of the three.
It wasn't until late at night that Chen Li gently pushed open the bedroom door and approached the bedside step by step.
The bedroom curtains were drawn tightly shut, and there was no light source. Only a human shape could be vaguely seen rising on the bed.
Chen Li nudged the person on the bed, but there was no reaction.
He felt relieved, raised the dagger in his hand, and stabbed it repeatedly, more than a dozen times, before stopping.
He walked to the door and turned on the overhead light. He saw that his body and hands were covered in bright red blood, and he laughed gleefully.
"You bitch, you're finally dead. Now all the money and the company are mine, hahaha."
Are you sure?
The voice behind him startled him, and his hair stood on end.
That voice...? Is it Su Xiaotang?
Chen Li slowly turned his head and saw Su Xiaotang standing behind him in a bright red bathrobe, her makeup was gorgeous and exquisite, and her lips were so red that they looked like they were dripping blood.
Chen Li looked at Su Xiaotang, who was so beautiful she resembled a painted-skin ghost, and trembled all over. His legs went weak and he sat down on the ground.
Su Xiaotang is alright? He saw her eat the food laced with drugs, how could she be alright? Who's that person on the bed? Who was the person he stabbed more than ten times?
Chen Li crawled and rolled to the bedside, his hands trembling as he ripped off the blood-soaked blanket. His father's upper body was riddled with more than a dozen bloody holes, his cloudy old eyes wide open, dying with his eyes wide open.
"ah……"
"ah……"
Two terrified screams rang out simultaneously, one from inside the door and one from outside.
Standing at the door, Chen's mother looked at the mangled body on the bed and her bloodied son holding a knife, and screamed in despair.
Qi An picked at her ears. This old thing could really yell. Luckily, she had set up a soundproof barrier beforehand, otherwise the whole neighborhood would have been awakened by her yelling.
Mr. and Mrs. Chen were waiting for news in their room, but somehow they fell asleep.
When Chen's mother woke up, she was the only one left in the room. Chen's father was nowhere to be found. In a panic, she went out to check and saw this scene before her.
Her son actually killed his own father!
Chen's mother rushed to the bedside and scratched Chen Li's face repeatedly, crying out, "You unfilial son, that's your father!"
Chen Li was stunned for a moment, and after a few minutes, he pushed his mother away with trembling hands: "How was I supposed to know that was my dad? I thought it was Su... I thought it was..."
In front of Su Xiaotang, Chen Li dared not continue speaking.
"You thought it was me?" Su Xiaotang stood in front of the mother and son, looking down at them.
Naive humans, thinking you can take her down with just a little anesthetic? What a pipe dream!
The mother and son looked at her in a panic, not knowing how to end this situation.
They never even considered the possibility of failure.
Su Xiaotang leaned closer to the bed and glanced at Chen's father: "Tsk tsk, so pitiful. He was stabbed more than a dozen times by his own son. No wonder he died with his eyes wide open."
Chen Li gritted his teeth. This vicious woman still had the nerve to say that her father was killed by her.
Upon hearing this, Chen's mother cried even more bitterly and began to beat her son again.
Chen Li was stunned for a long time before suddenly realizing something: Su Xiaotang wasn't dead, but he had indeed killed someone. If she told anyone, he would be completely finished.
Thinking of this, Chen Li's mind went blank. No, he couldn't let anyone know. Murderers have to pay with their lives. He couldn't die. He was unwilling to accept it.
As long as Su Xiaotang dies, he will take his mother and run away together. His mother will not betray him.
Chen Li pushed his mother aside, quickly stood up, and lunged at Su Xiaotang: "You bitch, die!"
Ata shook his head: Foolish human, all the beatings you've taken these past few days have been for nothing, and you still dare to fight Qi An.
Sure enough, Qi An kicked Chen Li onto the bed, bringing his face close to that of Chen's father, who was still starving.
Chen Li yelled and rolled off the bed. Qi An walked closer with a smile and looked at the two of them.
"He really is unruly, daring to lay a hand on his master." She picked up the knife Chen Li had dropped and patted his face.
Chen's mother rushed over to protect her son, crying and kowtowing to her: "Please, let us go. It was all our fault before. Please, you are a magnanimous person and let us go."
Chen Li was still reluctant to give up the Su family's assets. He had spent several years getting to where he was today, and if he gave them up, he would lose everything. He was unwilling to accept that.
He clung to Qi An's leg, pleading, "Xiao Tang, please forgive me. I was bewitched just now. Let's live a good life together from now on and start over, okay?"
Qi An clicked his tongue: "Ata, the shamelessness of humans has truly refreshed my understanding. Even I, a ferocious beast with thick skin, am ashamed of myself."
Ata strongly agreed.
Qi An pinched his chin and turned him around: "Look, have you forgotten? There's still a dead person there. Are you and your mother planning to eat peanuts?"
"Xiao Tang, don't be like this. It was just an accident. As long as you don't tell anyone, no one will know. Just say my dad went back to the countryside."
This was originally the explanation they had prepared for Su Xiaotang's death, but they never expected that Chen's father would use it, so it can be said that they made the best use of it.
Chen's mother nodded repeatedly: "Yes, as long as you don't tell anyone, no one will know. I only have this one son, Ali can't die."
Qi An said innocently, "But, what I really want to say is, what should we do?"
Some people are like that; their own children are treasures, while other people's children are worthless. Su Xiaotang's parents only have this one daughter.
How do they treat other people's precious daughters?
