Zhou Xiao looked down at Yan Qing, his scarlet eyes calm. He sized up his defeated opponent, Yan Qing, and his deep voice rang out:
"I was already planning to spare your life, but you insisted on keeping me here... to capture me..."
"You think this is cool? You think carrying some kind of burden on your shoulders will make you invincible? Sorry... reality is cruel, and the script you're living in has never been that of a heroic, patriotic protagonist..."
"Reality is cruel... Unfortunately, I am that reality."
If Yan Qing was somewhat blessed with a special talent, a natural gift from heaven, his extraordinary aptitude for swordsmanship leading him down a path of heroic protagonist's journey on the immortal ship...
So Zhou Xiao is completely overpowered, a major villain.
Yanqing's cheat might be a bit too strong.
But I'm sorry.
Zhou Xiao's is stronger.
Accompanied by the sound of tinnitus, Yanqing gritted her teeth and scolded:
"Are you here to humiliate me? Kill me or do whatever you want! Even if you kill one Yan Qing, thousands upon thousands of Yan Qings will rise up to stop you from destroying the Immortal Ship!"
Zhou Xiao raised an eyebrow slightly upon hearing Yan Qing's somewhat childish words.
At this moment, he suddenly felt that Yanqing had a bit of the "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, never underestimate a young man's potential" vibe.
As the main villain of the Immortal Ship, following the tropes of certain fantasy novels, he should be fiercely mocking and insulting Yan Qing at this point, and then waiting for Yan Qing to take off and slap him in the face.
After witnessing Yanqing's strength, he said, "This boy must not be allowed to live!" and then sent people to frantically give Yanqing experience points.
When Yanqing finally grows up and tortures him to death, he will say "Ah, how is this possible?" and then die of regret, allowing Yanqing to perfectly make amends.
Um.
What a cliché plot.
What a leading man's identity!
Unfortunately, this scenario is unlikely to happen.
after all...
Zhou Xiao has a cheat code.
And the hanging part is not small.
Rather than a perfect revenge story, Yanqing's ending is more likely to be a case of fortunes shifting every thirty years:
Never underestimate a young person's potential.
Don't underestimate someone who is poor in middle age.
Don't underestimate the poor and elderly.
The dead are great.
Grave dug up...
The tears of tomb raiders...
Zhou Xiao composed himself, focused his gaze on the cute little boy Yan Qing, and said:
"Kill you? What's the point of killing you?"
"I admit you have some talent, but this world is never short of gifted people. Perhaps there are too many people on this celestial ship who call you a genius..."
"Ha, a genius..."
"Only geniuses can grow and mature...and you...are still too inexperienced."
Zhou Xiao leaned down slightly, his incredibly calm face exerting an invisible pressure on Yan Qing. A slight smile appeared on his face, and he spoke in a surprisingly seductive tone:
"I'll keep you...don't worry."
"I will give you the chance to follow in my footsteps. I will make you angry, in pain, and hate me. Then you will desperately practice your sword skills, hoping to defeat me one day. But you will never break through my defenses... You will live in my shadow for the rest of your life."
“Every time you challenge me, you will remember the fear of those three slaps today... that fear will stay with you for the rest of your life.”
"Oh? You are an immortal being, aren't you? Then this fear will accompany you for a very long time. Perhaps one day, you will overcome your inner fear and face me again, bringing with you the superb swordsmanship you have honed over many years... to avenge today's humiliation."
But you find... you still can't beat me...
Do you know why?
Zhou Xiao kept her in suspense for a moment, and seeing the fear etched on Yan Qing's face, he leaned close to her ear and whispered:
"Because I will be your lifelong nightmare, you will always fear me... How can a swordsman who fears his enemy possibly defeat him?"
"!!!"
Yanqing's young heart was greatly shocked; he was almost scared to tears by this strange uncle, Zhou Xiao.
He hurriedly took two steps back and roared at Zhou Xiao in a slightly broken voice, as if this was his original childlike image.
"You devil! You devil! You won't succeed! The general will not let you get away with this!"
Yanqing spoke with tears in her eyes.
Zhou Xiao's seductive voice had already created a picture in his mind.
Every time he fell asleep, he would dream of Zhou Xiao's terrifying face.
Every time others discussed it, he would hear Zhou Xiao's provocative words from earlier that day.
Every time he practices his sword, he recalls the scene from today when Zhou Xiao slapped him so hard he couldn't take care of himself.
His life from now on will forever be overshadowed by this Star Core Hunter before him...
Thinking about this made him even more devastated.
He wanted to see General Jingyuan.
He deeply regretted not listening to Jing Yuan and insisting on investigating the Star Core Hunter...
The fear I felt when I first slew the bountiful creature with my sword was nothing compared to even a fraction of what I feel now...
Are all Star Core Hunters this terrifying?
Waaaaah...
...
"Jing Yuan?" Zhou Xiao didn't take Yan Qing's report about her parents seriously. He looked at Yan Qing, whose Dao Heart was shattered, and said:
"Let him come."
Yanqing: "..."
Someone please save me...
Seeing Yanqing's fear, Zhou Xiao reflected on whether he was being too perverted.
After all, he's just a child...
