"Whose child is this? How can they be so ill-mannered and have no manners?"
"I've really seen something new today."
"With such low manners, could they have sneaked in without an invitation?"
"I can't stand it anymore, isn't anyone going to do anything about it?"
"......"
Seeing that He Xie was still enjoying playing the game, many people around him started whispering and criticizing him, feeling ashamed for him.
Everyone here is either rich or noble, so why are you so low-class?
He Xie didn't feel embarrassed at all; in fact, he almost laughed out loud.
Because of this, he collected a lot of contrast data from the people around him.
Chen Yuntong, who was standing next to him, felt her face burning with embarrassment and wanted to get away from He Xie.
But on second thought, this might be an opportunity to increase He Xie's approval of me.
See? When a girl is willing to stay by your side and share the insults when you're being ridiculed, wouldn't that earn her dozens of points of goodwill?
With that in mind, Chen Yuntong stayed by He Xie's side, playing the role of a little fangirl, playing games with him, and enduring the ridicule and sarcasm of those around them.
These people didn't know that Chen Yuntong was Chen Yu'er's daughter; they thought she was He Xie's girlfriend.
Therefore, when they started to mock and ridicule, they were not polite at all, saying some very harsh things that affected Chen Yu'er.
For example, some people say that Chen Yuntong is a girl whose appearance doesn't reflect her character. She looks like a well-bred young lady, so how come her behavior is so bad? I wonder what her parents did to her.
As they talked, these words unknowingly reached Chen Yu'er.
Chen Yu'er took a small sip of the red wine in her glass, and after exchanging a few words with the guests in front of her with a smile, she turned her gaze to her youngest daughter, Chen Yuntong.
When he saw her sticking together with He Xie, doing some embarrassing things that affected him, the smile on his face vanished almost instantly.
She asked Chen Yuntong to invite He Xie over, which was indeed intended to develop a relationship between the two, but she didn't want Chen Yuntong to lose face.
Among the guests present, there were still some who did not know that Chen Yuntong was her youngest daughter.
These comments, such as "How did Chen Yuntong's parents raise her? They must be uncultured people..." made her very unhappy.
At the family members' table, the three ex-husbands sat together.
They are Liu Tianhong, the biological father of Chen Peilin; Zhang Yuanhe, the biological father of Chen Yiyu; and Huang Jinyang, the biological father of Chen Yuntong.
At this moment, all three noticed the commotion coming from He Xie's side. When they saw Chen Yuntong following along, two of them couldn't help but look at Huang Jinyang, who was sitting at the same table.
Liu Tianhong's voice was cold and indifferent, with the air of someone in a superior position: "Is that boy your daughter's boyfriend?"
"Yes, yes." Huang Jinyang didn't know how his daughter and He Xie were getting along, but seeing that the two of them were together all the time, he answered like this.
Zhang Yuanhe shook his head and said, "Old Huang, it seems like there's something wrong with your son-in-law's character."
"The child is still young and doesn't know any better. He'll mature as he grows up," Huang Jinyang said with a forced smile, like a younger brother fawning over his older brother.
There was nothing he could do; the two like-minded people in front of him were the vice dean of the University of Mountain and Sea Evolution and the deputy director of the Kyoto Education Bureau.
As merely the head of a physical training center, he was inferior and humbled in front of these two.
Similarly, Chen Yuntong was also timid and submissive in front of Chen Peilin and Chen Yiyu, and dared not speak loudly at all.
"I need to talk to those two."
After saying that, Huang Jinyang got up and walked towards He Xie.
At the same time, Chen Peilin also walked towards Chen Yuntong.
A moment later, the two walked over at almost the same time.
Huang Jinyang originally intended to give a lecture, but when he saw Liu Tianhong's daughter, Chen Peilin, approaching, he wisely kept quiet and let her do the talking.
Chen Peilin stopped in front of Chen Yuntong and He Xie, and said sarcastically, "Heh, I was wondering who was so rude. It turns out it's that little bitch from the School of Pharmacology's younger brother. Aren't you ashamed?"
Before He Xie could respond, Chen Yuntong weakly said, "Sister, it's not good to curse like that..."
"...Smack!"
Upon hearing the word "sister," Chen Peilin slapped Chen Yuntong across the face and cursed at her, "You bitch, do you have the right to speak?"
The slap was delivered with great force and a loud thud.
Many of the onlookers were startled.
The slap was so hard and so sudden that many people didn't expect it.
Among them, Chen Yuntong was the one who least expected to be slapped.
She was completely stunned by the slap; a bright red handprint appeared on her right cheek, and she felt a burning pain.
Her eyes reddened. Being slapped in front of so many people wasn't very physically harmful, but it was extremely humiliating.
Especially when she saw that her mother, Chen Yu'er, was just silently watching her and had no intention of speaking up for her, she immediately burst into tears of grievance and ran out of the auditorium.
Huang Jinyang realized what was happening and gave chase.
Chen Yu'er remained unmoved, merely glancing at the scene before continuing her conversation with the guests around her.
However, Chen Yiyu, who was standing next to her, hesitated for a moment before running out of the auditorium to look for Chen Yuntong outside, lest something happen to her.
He Xie gave Chen Peilin a deep look, while simultaneously sharpening his senses to keep a close eye on Chen Yuntong's movements.
He thought about how he treated the three younger girls in the orphanage, and then about how Chen Peilin had treated Chen Yuntong. He had to admit that the difference between people can sometimes be greater than the difference between people and dogs.
"Thank you, it's too dark outside. I can't find Tongtong. She's not replying to my WeChat messages and I can't get through on the phone. Could you help me contact her? She likes you so much, she'll definitely reply to you."
Huang Jinyang, who had just run outside, came running back, panting, and said to He Xie.
"Okay, I understand."
He Xie answered like this, but instead of rushing out to look for people, he continued to play games in the auditorium.
After spending some time harvesting all the exotic flowers and fruits in the mini-game, he leisurely walked out of the auditorium under the disdainful gazes of everyone and went outside to find Chen Yuntong.
Huang Jinyang didn't go out with them, but was called to Chen Yu'er's side.
......
After leaving the auditorium, He Xie walked straight out of the school gate.
He bought a cup of hand-squeezed lemon tea from a stall outside the school gate, pricked his finger, dripped a small drop of blood into it, and then shook it well.
Then they went into a park across from the school to look for Chen Yuntong.
His senses covered a wide range, and his location was so precise that Chen Yuntong was squatting on the ground under a tree in the park, sobbing against the tree trunk.
He stopped in front of Chen Yuntong after a moment, handed her the lemon tea, and said casually, "Just bought it. Chu Chu said it's pretty good. Want to try it?"
Chen Yuntong didn't take the lemon tea offered to her, nor did she even lift her head. She kept her pretty face buried in her knees, sobbing softly.
Seeing that she didn't respond, He Xie remained silent and casually found a place to sit down and practice his breathing exercises.
Chen Yuntong was very sad. She thought that if she kept crying, He Xie would comfort her.
But in fact, it didn't.
She wiped away her tears and broke the silence, asking, "Do you also think I'm cheap, that I'm a bitch, and that I deserve to be beaten and humiliated in public?"
Her words carried a hint of reproach, because she felt that with He Xie's strength, he could have easily taken that slap for her, but he didn't.
He Xie replied without hesitation, "I am very pleased that you have such self-awareness."
Upon hearing He Xie's answer, Chen Yuntong, who had stopped crying, burst into tears again.
She was very upset and aggrieved, sobbing uncontrollably as she said, "All I wanted was for you to pay more attention to me, to give me a little love, even just a tiny bit, but why do you hate me so much?"
He Xie offered no words of comfort, instead delivering a scathing critique: "The things you've done are hard not to dislike."
Chen Yuntong stood up, crying as she walked to He Xie and stopped, wanting to throw herself into his arms and cry.
He Xie didn't indulge her at all and ruthlessly blocked her from throwing herself into his arms.
Chen Yuntong was completely devastated. She shattered her dignity and pleaded humbly, "I'll listen to you from now on. I'll do whatever you ask. Can you please stop hating me so much? I'm really suffocating. Please, I'm begging you."
"You really would do anything I ask?"
He Xie grabbed Chen Yuntong's small hand, pulled her over, and reached out to pinch her chin, asking a question.
Without hesitation, Chen Yuntong immediately nodded while crying, "Really, I'll do whatever you ask me to do. I can do everything Lin Chuchu can do, and I can do things she can't do!"
"Drink this lemon tea; you'll need it later."
As He Xie spoke, he picked up the cup of lemon tea that was placed to the side and handed it to Chen Yuntong in front of him.
Without saying a word, Chen Yuntong took the lemon tea, opened the lid, and drank it in big gulps without hesitation.
"I've finished drinking."
Chen Yuntong put down her cup, a few tea stains still remaining on her lips.
He Xie hummed in agreement and immediately activated the bloodline power effect within the essence blood enslavement.
After realizing that he had established a master-slave relationship with Chen Yuntong, he silently drew his Zanpakuto from his system inventory and said with a thought: Bankai.
In an instant, a dazzling light shone forth, blinding Chen Yuntong.
Before Chen Yuntong could figure out what was going on, He Xie's figure had already disappeared, carrying a long sword that emitted a pale blue light and disappearing into the night.
......
In a corner of the park.
He Xie drew his sword and walked towards a towering tree, then silently slashed it.
"Whoosh—"
With a slam of the blade, the giant tree shattered instantly, its branches and leaves withering and falling to the ground.
[Soul +3!]
"Buzz—"
"Buzz—"
"Buzz—"
A whooshing sound rang out.
Countless thick vines shot out from all directions, aiming directly at He Xie's vital points.
He Xie remained calm and unhurried, raising his hand to deliver several slashes.
The next second, the vines shattered and fell to the ground.
"Boom—"
As the loud noise occurred, the earth trembled violently.
Soon after, a terrifying, towering tree burst forth from the ground, its immense size obscuring the sky as it descended before He Xie.
The appearance of the giant tree caused quite a stir.
Many couples who were still being affectionate in the park immediately took off running, some even running out of the grove with their lower bodies bare, without even having time to pull up their pants.
At the same time, neither the man nor the tree spoke, and they immediately started fighting.
The battle was peaceful and ended quickly.
Because when He Xie struck, the tree demon clone in front of him, whose biological level was legendary, instantly had its soul shattered and was dead beyond any doubt.
[Soul +18!]
He Xie looked at the enormous corpse of the tree demon clone in front of him, stepped forward, touched it, and silently chanted: Devour!
The tree demon's clone's corpse vanished in an instant.
It transformed into a faint stream of light and disappeared into He Xie's Heavenly Gate, where it was completely absorbed.
[Qi and Blood Boost!]
[Mental Energy Plus!]
[Vitality +474%!]
[...+363%!]
Biological level, Legendary Tier 5 → Legendary Tier 6.
He Xie glanced at the creature's level, his heart as calm as still water, sheathed his sword, turned and left.
As for Chen Caiqing, who was hiding in a tree and trembling with fear, he pretended not to notice her and let her use Wood Release to escape.
For now, Chen Caiqing is still worth monitoring, so he's not in a hurry to kill her.
Back where he started, He Xie found that Chen Yuntong was still there.
So he calmly pulled out a small leather whip from his system inventory and, without her even realizing what was happening, lashed her upturned buttocks with a loud crack, making her cry out in pain.
Afterwards, He Xie asked Chen Yuntong, "Have you joined the Divine Plant Cult?"
Chen Yuntong answered uncontrollably, "I'm not."
He Xie lashed her again with the whip and continued to interrogate her: "Did you deliberately lure me to this park to ambush me?"
Chen Yuntong shook her head and said, "No."
And so, He Xie asked Chen Yuntong more than a dozen questions in a row.
After confirming that she was clean, he put away the small leather whip and turned to walk towards the park gate.
Without thinking twice, Chen Yuntong immediately followed him and asked, "What did you just do to me? Why did I answer your question involuntarily?"
He Xie: "Guess?"
Chen Yuntong: "......"
The two quickly left the park and returned to the Mountain and Sea Evolution University.
Chen Yuntong's dormitory building is near the school gate, almost right after you enter. To avoid unnecessary trouble, He Xie chose to enter separately from her.
So that the girls in the dormitory of the Plant Cultivation College wouldn't see them and spread rumors that he and Chen Yuntong were walking together in the middle of the night.
......
Midnight, in a hotel room.
At this point, more than an hour had passed since Chen Yu'er's birthday dinner ended.
Huang Jinyang took a shower, stripped naked, and sat on the bed, his eyes fixed on Chen Yu'er, who was taking a shower in the bathroom, his face full of excitement.
Soon, Chen Yu'er came out after taking a shower.
She walked seductively to Huang Jinyang and stopped in front of him, pushing him down onto the bed. Her voice was full of allure as she said, "Although the operation failed tonight, you did a great job, so I'll make an exception and reward you this time."
"Jade bait, jade bait!"
Huang Jinyang's breathing was heavy, and he could hardly contain his excitement and agitation.
Seeing his lustful appearance, Chen Yu'er couldn't help but show disgust.
At the same time, on the windows outside the hotel.
He Xie, transformed into a wisp of transparent air, silently floated by the window, watching everything that was happening inside. Hearing the groans coming from inside, he couldn't help but say with a gloomy expression, "Ha, those two adulterers."
