"Tuantuan is so cute. Here, I'll give you a level four demon beast's inner core." Lu Yunxing tried to put a red demon beast's inner core into the little celestial dog's mouth, but Lu Yunqi stopped him.
"Fourth Brother, Tuantuan is only level two. How can it possibly digest the inner core of a level four demon beast?" Lu Yunqi said.
Lu Xuening, holding her spirit pet, looked at Lu Yunxing and said coquettishly, "Fourth brother, you're trying to feed Tuantuan random things again. If Tuantuan gets an upset stomach again, I won't forgive you."
Lu Yunxing laughed and said, "Isn't it because Tuantuan's strength is too low? How will she protect you in the future?"
"I don't need Tuantuan to protect me, Tuantuan just needs to be cute." Lu Xuening smiled innocently.
“That’s right, my little Ba is fine with my protection.” Lu Yunlin, dressed in white, came in from outside, looking at his younger sister Lu Xuening with utmost affection.
Lu Yunlin was tall and slender, and very handsome. However, compared to his brothers, he was slightly more effeminate and had a rather gloomy personality. He would only smile when he saw Lu Xuening.
When Lu Xuening saw him, she immediately called out "Sixth Brother," then stood up and threw herself into Lu Yunlin's arms.
Lu Yunlin patted her head, opened the gift box he had given Tuantuan, and saw that the bell inside was actually a low-grade spiritual artifact, causing everyone to exclaim in surprise again.
Lu Yun Shen entered at this moment. He saw Eighth Sister holding Tuan Tuan, surrounded by everyone, like a star being the moon, receiving everyone's praise, with an extremely happy smile on her face.
Just as I was about to walk towards my eighth sister, a voice suddenly rang in my ears:
"What Seventh Miss? I think she's not even as good as the dog that Eighth Miss keeps. Even Eighth Miss's dog is more noble than her."
Even Miss Eight's dog is more noble than her...
These words echoed in his ears, causing him to stop in his tracks.
He suddenly remembered that neither he nor anyone else had ever celebrated Xiao Qi's birthday. When Xiao Ba celebrated his dog's birthday, all the brothers and sisters in the clan gathered, but no one remembered Xiao Qi's birthday—his parents didn't remember, they didn't remember, nobody remembered.
His heart began to ache slightly. Over the years, they had neglected Xiao Qi to this extent. They were afraid that Xiao Ba would be upset, so they ignored Xiao Qi. Xiao Ba was no longer upset, but what about Xiao Qi?
Nobody cared whether she was in pain or not.
Nobody cared about her, so the people below her didn't take her seriously either.
"Third brother, you've come."
Lu Xuening saw Lu Yunshen and called out happily, but this time her third brother did not smile gently at her as he walked towards her.
He turned and disappeared into the horizon as a streak of light.
Lu Xuening was utterly puzzled, as were the others.
"Third brother, what's wrong?" Lu Xuening asked.
Lu Yunlin said, "I don't know."
"Third Brother, what's wrong with him today? Xiao Ba called him, but he just left like that." Lu Yunqi was also very puzzled.
"I'm going to find him."
After saying that, Lu Yunxing transformed into a streak of azure light and chased after Lu Yunshen.
Lu Yun Shen left Ziji Peak and arrived at Black Prison. Lu Yun Xing, who had been chasing after him, was greatly puzzled. As he walked through the gate and into the prison, he called out from behind:
"Third Brother, what are you doing here? Little Eight called you, but you didn't answer."
The guards inside the Black Prison hurriedly bowed when they saw the brothers. Lu Yun Shen strode up to one of the elders in charge of the Black Prison and said coldly, "Bring out the forty-nine people who were just imprisoned."
Upon seeing the murderous aura on the Third Young Master's face, the elder in charge quickly brought all forty-nine people to him. Manager Ming and the others immediately knelt down and begged for mercy upon seeing Lu Yun Shen.
"Third Young Master, we were wrong. We will never dare to do it again."
"Third Young Master, please spare us this time!"
Lu Yunshen remained unmoved, his face cold. With a swift movement, the azure spiritual light transformed into a longsword. To everyone's astonishment, he chopped off a man's head with a single strike. Amidst the horrified gazes of the crowd, he continued to sever the prisoner's head with each swift, decisive blow, as if cutting melons and vegetables.
These people were only at the Core Formation and Foundation Establishment stages, while Lu Yun Shen, a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, could kill them with ease. Moreover, they were wearing restrictive shackles and had no chance to fight back or escape. With screams echoing, all forty-nine people were killed by him.
Blood splattered on his face, staining his clothes red.
Dead silence fell; Lu Yunxing and the guards stared in disbelief.
In everyone's eyes, Lu Yun Shen was gentle and refined; when had they ever seen him kill like this?
Lu Yunxing stared blankly at his third brother. Even if those people had committed some capital crime, he could just give an order to execute them. Even if he had to do it himself, a single thought and a single strike would have been enough. Why did he have to dirty his hands and go crazy and kill people?
Lu Yunshen felt guilty, and killing people like this was the only way he could feel better.
His own sister, by blood, had been reduced to a state worse than a dog. If only... if only he had discovered it sooner...
Lu Yunshen threw down his sword, stepped over the corpses, and walked outside.
Everyone gaped when they saw him covered in blood.
"Third Brother, what happened?" Lu Yunxing asked.
Lu Yun Shen looked at him, then raised his hand and tossed a bead to Lu Yun Xing. It was a Soul Shadow Bead, containing Steward Ming's memories. Lu Yun Xing scanned it with his divine sense, his face filled with disbelief.
"What Seventh Miss? Who does she think she is?"
"It's better not to waste such a good thing as the Soul Nourishing Pill on a good-for-nothing like the Seventh Miss."
"Anyway, nobody cares about her, so what's wrong with withholding her things? Come on, these spirit stones, everyone gets a share."
Lu Yunxing looked at Lu Yunshen, whose face was gloomy. Lu Yunshen's eyes were full of regret as he said, "They have embezzled so much of Xiaoqi's things behind our backs and made Xiaoqi suffer so much."
Lu Yunxing stood there blankly.
Although he hadn't been to Yingxiu Peak in recent years, he had sent people things to him, but he had never received any thanks. He thought that his seventh sister was ungrateful. But it turned out that she had never received anything and that he had misunderstood.
“They deserve to die,” Lu Yunxing said angrily.
"Give Xiaoqi her storage bag back," Lu Yunshen said.
Lu Yunxing took out A Yao's storage bag. He had taken A Yao's storage bag, but he had never looked inside it.
A quick scan with divine sense revealed only a few dozen low-grade spirit stones and a few bottles of ordinary pills; there were hardly any decent magical artifacts inside. This hardly resembled the storage pouch of the eldest daughter of the Lu family; it was even less valuable than that of a respectable member of an outsider's clan.
Lu Yunxing suddenly felt uneasy. He said to Lu Yunshen, "I...I'll go return it to Xiaoqi."
After saying that, he flew towards Yingxiu Peak. Lu Yunshen wanted to follow, but when he looked down at the blood on his body, he gave up the idea.
————
When Lu Yunxing arrived at Yingxiu Peak, it was just as A Yao had finished bathing and changing, preparing to meditate. Seeing Lu Yunxing stride in, her first thought was: next time I must remember to set up a protective barrier outside.
Lu Yunxing saw A Yao sitting on the futon. Her hair was loose and she was wearing a white robe. The robe was loose and made her look extremely thin. Her face was pale and she looked like a delicate and fragile porcelain.
