The Rogue of Otherworldly Skies

  Huang Mao, who was evenly matched with Zhong Hao, was instantly defeated and crippled by a single blow. Even the onlookers heard that Yuan Ye had defeated a Wu Wang-level demon beast. For a moment, everyone was stunned.

  "Father... father, is that Old Six?" Yuan Ye's eldest son stuttered as he looked at Yuan Jingzhi.

  "Th...th...this..." Yuan Jingzhi was already unsure whether she should be happy or worried.

  "You're going to pay for this! You've ruined me today, and I'll make sure Father has you sliced into a thousand pieces!" Huang Mao glared at Yuan Ye with a ferocious expression.

  "Is that so?" Yuan Ye smiled carelessly, and with a sudden movement, he tore open Huang Mao's chest clothes, revealing a white steel armor inside. The steel frame had sharp spikes protruding from it.

  "This is your secret weapon, right?" As he spoke, Yuan Ye grabbed Huang Mao and revealed the steel armor to everyone.

  "The son of the provincial governor, with a status so high, actually has something so sinister hidden in his chest. Young master, you've really opened my eyes." Yuan Ye's mocking voice echoed throughout the entire arena.

  The people below immediately pointed and understood why Zhong Hao suddenly trembled all over.

  Huang Mao was a powerful young master throughout the state of Hun Luo, never having encountered any setbacks, which made him look down on everyone. Otherwise, Huang Mao wouldn't have dared to challenge the entire city of Xin Lin alone. But this time, not only did Huang Mao lose thoroughly, but his four limbs were also crippled. Being exposed for using poison was even more humiliating, and what Huang Mao couldn't accept the most was that all of this was thanks to the person he hated the most.

  He came to kill Yuan Wei, but was harmed by Yuan Wei so badly.

  "Huh? Why are you looking at me with such a 'friendly' gaze?" Yuan Hui turned his head and smiled, grabbing the abandoned hand of Huang Mao and placing it on top of his steel armor. The sharp spikes on the armor instantly pierced into Huang Mao's flesh, and black blood quickly spread out.

  "Bastard, what are you doing?" Huang Mao's face changed drastically, desperately twisting his body and struggling.

  "Hmph!" Yuan Ye suddenly threw Huang Mao to one side, and as soon as he landed, Huang Mao, disregarding the intense pain in his body, used his only uninjured right hand to pull out a small ceramic bottle from his chest. Just as he was about to drink it down, suddenly, Huang Mao's hand was grasped tightly.

  "My six-legged death only kicked three legs, leaving your right hand behind. Do you know why? Stupid idiot." Yuan Ye coldly smiled and handed the small ceramic bottle to Zhong Hao, helping him take it down.

  "Good!"

  "Good!"

  The people below cheered, and it was clear that Yuan Ye was now completely different from the Yuan Ye of before.

  "Save me, that's the venom of the giant centipede, Xīn Líng City should have an antidote, hurry and save me, if it's too late I'll die." On the ground, Huáng Máo finally felt the threat to his life, and he suddenly went limp.

  "Hmph, you despicable scoundrel. I'll give you a sentence: 'Those who bring trouble upon themselves will not live to see the dawn.' " Yuan Ye sneered.

  "Lao Liu, don't cause trouble, he is Mr. Cheng's..."

  "What are you afraid of? I have nothing to do with the Yuan family anymore, so this matter will be borne by me alone. Don't worry, I won't implicate you." Yuan Ye waved his hand and slowly walked down from the arena.

  "Thank you, Master Yuan." Zhong Hao bowed slightly and said.

  Yuan Ye smiled slightly and didn't say anything, then turned around to leave.

  Yuan Jingzhi looked at Yuan Ye's gradually distant back and suddenly quickened her pace to catch up.

  "Old Six."

  Yuan Ye's footsteps came to a halt, and he slowly turned his head, "Huh, you actually know how to find me?"

  Yuan Jing felt a bit unnatural, his Adam's apple moved slightly before he said: "Can I say a few words?"

  Yuan Ye smiled and said, "Of course, after all you are also the old father of this smelly body of mine."

  Yuan Jing's face didn't look good, but he continued: "You must think very poorly of me, always compromising and not daring to show the slightest disrespect to those above."

  "You knew it too?"

  Yuan Jing's face revealed a helpless expression, and he sighed: "Our Yuan family is just a lowest-level noble family, not much better than ordinary people. For families like us, there is no powerful force, no extraordinary master to preside over, no strong backing. On the entire Flame Continent, I don't know how many such families exist. Such families, if they are not careful for even one step, may be exterminated in a single day. This world is not as simple as you think it is. As the head of the family, I must consider the well-being of the entire household."

  "Must you even sacrifice your own son? Even if he is not at fault?" Yuan Ye smiled coldly.

  "In the past, our family was much more prosperous than it is now. However, your grandfather protected his son, your uncle, and as a result, our family was destroyed. Neither your grandfather nor your uncle survived. After so many years of hardships, I have finally managed to revive the Yuan family's fortunes. But the lesson from your grandfather's experience has been deeply etched in my mind, and I don't want to follow in his footsteps again."

  "I've started to respect that old man. He's always so humble and willing to sacrifice his family, don't you think he's incompetent?"

  "Sacrifice one person to save the whole family. When you become the head of a family, you will understand my difficulties. If you want to blame someone, blame our Yuan family for being too weak. Anyone can control life and death at will. This is how the world works - the strong dominate everything, while the weak struggle to survive."

  Yuan Ye waved his hand, adjusted his clothes and sighed: "If I were you, if I couldn't protect my family, I'd rather give up the glory and wealth in front of me, become a commoner, and although life would be hard, our family would be happy together. And I will definitely protect my family well."

  As he spoke, Yuan Ye turned around and took two steps forward before stopping again. "Yuan Jingzhi, if I hadn't shown my true strength in the past few days, you wouldn't be saying these things to me, would you?"

  Yuan Jing's expression changed, and he said, "Right. But you really shouldn't address me directly by name."

  "Hmph, this world indeed has the power to bring everything. Yuan Ye hummed again and said: 'You've driven me out of the house, what should I call you? Father? Lord Yuan? I'll tell you once more, my spirit or soul is really not your son. But since this flesh was born from you, no matter how you treat me, if the Yuan family encounters difficulties in the future, I will definitely lend a hand. Also, Huang Mao was killed by me, and that Cheng Hui wants to come looking for trouble, just push it all onto my body. If he hadn't chased me into the Beast Domain, I wouldn't have achieved what I am today. I should really thank him."

  With the same surname Cheng and connecting the various clues beforehand, Yuan Ye easily guessed that this yellow-haired old man was the purple-robed elder who had chased and killed him three months ago.

  Yuan Ye left the arena alone, his clothes torn by Huang Mao's sword energy. He bought a new set of clothes and then took out Rui Xi's clothes. Immediately returned to the small pavilion by the waterfall.

  On the edge of a small pond, Rui Xi sat alone on a smooth stone, with her feet dangling in the water. She was holding a small demon beast in her arms and had a smile on her face.

  The little monster has an unimaginable charm, with a cute body the size of a cat, a snow-white and smooth exterior without any miscellaneous hair. The face is like that of a small lion, with two tender pink horns on its head, a bright red nose that is extremely lively, and various mischievous and complacent expressions at the corners of its mouth. Its deep black eyes are crystal clear, and every time they move, they perfectly combine playfulness and carefreeness.

  Just from appearance, the little monster can instantly kill all girls. That kind of charm far surpasses Yuan Wei who thinks he's very handsome. Plus, the little monster is extremely active and restless, with no hint of calmness, that kind of liveliness and carefreeness will make everyone's mood improve along with it.
