Tao Xiaoxiao didn't even harbor resentment; instead, she felt that Wang Shan was experiencing a medical flare-up and she needed to quickly call a doctor to treat the old man and her wrist.
But this struggle only fueled Wang Shan's anger.
"You still dare to scream? You still dare to resist?!" He swung his other hand, slapping her face... or rather, scraping it across her face, leaving five deep, bloody welts.
Wang Shan kicked the woman who had served him for over three years away, striking her in the stomach. The kick sent Tao Xiaoxiao flying four or five meters, nearly piercing her skin.
[The triple pain—in her arm, face, and lower abdomen—combined caused her head to tilt to the side, making her dizzy and unconscious.]
[Wang Shan walked forward, and as he passed the unconscious Tao Xiaoxiao, he stepped on her calf again.]
The girl screamed in agony, then fainted again from the pain of her broken leg.
The old man finally breathed a sigh of relief, releasing some of the fear that had been lurking deep within him.
For the past three years, Tao Xiaoxiao has regarded him as a respectable old gentleman, and he has never punished this well-behaved and beautiful woman or done anything abnormal to her.
But this doesn't mean he values Tao Xiaoxiao that much!
[In his eyes, this woman was merely a beautiful, moving vase or painting—this was determined from the very beginning!]
He never considered the girl who had served him for over three years as a "person," let alone made the ridiculous claim that he had come to regard her as his own granddaughter after spending so much time with her!
When you're in a good mood, you can admire vases or frame antique paintings yourself to make them more beautiful, which will further uplift your spirits.
When you're in a bad mood, and a vase and an antique painting happen to appear in front of you... that's what you smash, what you tear apart to vent your anger!
For a wealthy person, smashing an antique vase might feel a little painful, but for them, young, beautiful, obedient, and cute girls are plentiful. They can just kill them, break them, and find new ones, right?
Aside from children and certain special groups, who truly develops feelings for objects?
Yun Shou remained silent: "..."
After a moment, he seemed to understand something from this.
"Twelve, I just don't want to become such an old thing."
A person's character can be subtly changed by their environment.
It's not absolute that money corrupts, but it certainly changes a person's mindset.
"When Twelve is invincible and always appears in an absolutely strong position, everyone around him sees him as the superior. Over time, when he meets others, he will think that the other party should obey him by nature."
"That's probably why Twelve only stayed in the Azure Domain for twenty years before leaving."
"If he stays in Qingyu longer, Xixiqi and the others may change their opinion of him and treat him as an equal friend."
"...It's also possible that he will get used to the obedience and respect of those around him. When Xixiqi takes a bath with strong-tasting liquid again, he will dislike it and forbid it from doing so in the future."
Yun Shou knew himself; he did indeed feel nauseous and vomit-inducing when bathing in insects like toads and centipedes.
"Therefore, Twelve must maintain a 'human' mentality through this transformation, rather than becoming a twisted old monster..."
Wang Shan shouted for his guards; he needed to get out of this hellish place quickly… and he also needed to take his exoskeleton and hide in a place no one knew.
[There were dozens of other elderly men who did the same thing as him. Some felt it had nothing to do with them—they hadn't participated in the hunt for you at all. Others thought you wouldn't be chased all the way to this ordinary little town.]
Five minutes later, you fall from the sky.
[The speed is extremely fast; the air is violently frictional against the surface of the exoskeleton. If you were wearing wooden armor, you would be burning to a crisp by now.]
As for that cloak... it's long gone.
"Can the oxygen supply keep up?" Yun Shou didn't quite understand this.
Even without the dazzling special effects of shooting stars, the sonic boom clouds rising from above were enough to attract the attention of everyone still remaining in the town.
Just before you were about to hit the ground completely, you reversed your position, and your feet unleashed high-energy flames downwards, the firelight forming a huge radial cone.
[You ignored the panicked old people in the town and didn't chase after the fleeing ones, instead landing in Wang Shan's courtyard.]
After confirming that the surrounding network and surveillance cameras were turned off, you removed your mask, and a burst of internal energy shot out, landing on the unconscious woman.
[There's no need to use Descent, because your cultivation is already more than halfway through the second realm, and you have nearly six thousand times the essence enhancement. You could heal ten thousand of Tao Xiaoxiao's injuries without breaking a sweat.]
"Just treat it as a nightmare. When you wake up, the whole world will be kind to you."
Then you go outside and start killing.
There were about twenty elderly people remaining in the town; the rest were bodyguards, servants, and so on.
[You observed this from the future using the power of descent.]
[It's confirmed. Among them, eighteen are absolutely unforgivable crimes and must be executed.]
Five people were involved in attacking you; they too will die.
[The three of them could be said to have equal merits and demerits, perhaps their "demerits" were greater, but since they weren't involved in your and Xuwen's affairs, and are simply staying here to retire, you haven't interfered much with them.]
[There are two others who, though equally powerful and with a lot of dirty laundry, have made relatively greater contributions to this planet, and you ignored them as well.]
