Chapter 2: The Wicked Slave

  "Xiao Yu, just follow me, I guarantee it will be much better than following that useless young master." Yang Lei arrived at the front yard and happened to hear this.

  "No, Yang Xiong, let me go quickly." A terrified female voice made Yang's forehead bulge with blue veins.

  Yang Xiong is the son of Yang Qing, the great steward of the Weiwu royal palace. He often bullied himself in his daily life. He had been eyeing his own maid Yu'er for a long time.

  "Let her go." Yang Lei pushed open the door and said coldly to him.

  "Hey, isn't this our Third Young Master?" Yang Xiong pushed Jade to the side, and Jade hastily hid behind Yang Lei. At this time, Yang Xiong looked at Yang Lei with an expression that didn't show any subservience, but instead sneered, "If you let me have Little Jade, I'll give you a hundred taels of silver, plus three Qi-gathering pills, how about it?"

  "Alright then." Yang Lei didn't get angry, but instead smiled, "You've deducted a lot of things from me, haven't you? You're just a dog slave, a mere dog of the Yang family, and yet you dare to threaten me, your master?"

  "You dare to call me a dog?" Yang Xiong's face twisted upon hearing this, "You're a piece of trash, a lowlife, and you actually dare to curse me as a dog. I think you're tired of living."

  "When you're a dog, you should have the awareness of being a dog." Yang Lei let out a cold snort. Although he had only practiced his Qi for one layer, this Yang Xiong was only at the third layer, and was also a good-for-nothing. However, relying on his father being the steward of the Yang household, and having gained the trust of Madame Dongfang Caiyu, the wife of the powerful King Wu, he would recklessly bully other servants in the manor. The one he liked to bully the most was Yang Lei, this useless Third Young Master. But Yang Lei, although his strength was not enough, relied on his many years of fighting experience on Earth, and thought it would be easy to deal with this guy.

  "I'll kill you." Yang Xiong couldn't withstand such provocation, as Yang Lei was usually the one bullying him. Today, he suddenly reversed his usual behavior, making it unbearable for Yang Xiong. With Yang Lei's provocative words, Yang Xiong became enraged and took out a dagger, crazily pouncing on Yang Lei.

  The little maid Yu'er was startled and exclaimed in terror: "Young master, quickly hide!"

  "Good to see you." Yang Lei was not only good at studying on Earth, but also a top-notch fighter. Having practiced martial arts since childhood, his hand and foot techniques were not just for show. So when he saw Yang Xiong rush up, Yang Lei didn't dodge, instead he went forward to meet him.

  "Crack."

  Yang Lei grasped Yang Xiong's wrist and took away his dagger, holding it against his neck.

  "You... what do you want to do? My father is the head of the household, and if you dare to do anything to me, my father won't let you off." Yang Xiong looked at Yang Lei in terror, with a knife held to his neck, his life was no longer his own. As for Yang Xiong, who was so afraid of death, he naturally didn't dare to make any rash moves.

  "Are you provoking me?" Yang Lei said coldly.

  "Master, don't kill him. If you kill him, the steward won't let you off." Yu'er heard this and thought that if the master really killed him, he might not be able to stay here either. Yang Qing, the steward, was a ruthless person. Although he was gentle in front of General Wu and the ladies, he was cruel and venomous towards others.

  "Against... against, Third Master, if you kill me, you won't be able to get away with it either. My father won't let you off." Yang Xiong hastily said.

  "Hmph, I'll kill you, who would know? Will Xiaoyu tell?" Yang Lei said in a low voice.

  "Don't... don't kill me." Yang Xiong's expression changed drastically upon hearing this.

  "I won't spare you, it's impossible. Today, you're the first step in my revenge. Anyone who has bullied me will be repaid a thousandfold." Yang Lei didn't hesitate for a moment, and with a swift movement of his dagger, he cut off Yang Xiong's main artery, causing blood to spurt out instantly.

  "You... you... killed me..."

  "Less... Young Master, you've killed someone, you've killed Yang Xiong." Yuer was frightened stiff.

  At this time, Yang Lei couldn't care about so much, because the voice in his mind sounded again.

  "Ding, you killed Yang Xiong. Experience +200, Qi value +100, Points +10. Obtained: 10 Qi Gathering Pills, 1,000 pieces of White Silver, and a Fine Steel Dagger."

  "Ding, congratulations, you have leveled up to level 2. Would you like to view your personal attributes?"

  "View." Yang Lei chose to view without hesitation, and upgraded himself to level two.

  Player: Yang Lei

  Level: 2

  Root bone: 5

  Health: 40

  Chi value: 200

  Integral value: 110

  Free Attributes: 2

  Xuanyuan Jue (First Layer)

  Skills: None

  Equipment: Fine Steel Dagger

  The level has risen, and now it has reached the second layer of Qi refining. Killing people is so cool, although it's the first time killing someone, Yang Lei didn't feel any discomfort, but instead had a kind of exciting feeling.

  The harvest is not bad, Yang Lei is now in a great mood. He didn't expect to have ten more Qi Gathering Pills, which are like timely snowfall for him. With these pills, he can quickly enhance his strength and reach the third layer of Qi Refining. However, this cultivation method is still slower than leveling up by killing monsters. The additional 1,000 two silver coins will also be very beneficial to him now. Although he is the Third Young Master of the Weiwu Kingdom, he has always been short on money, and his previous cultivation didn't have any medicinal assistance, which is why he was stuck at the first stage of Qi Refining.

  "Xiao Yu." It was only then that Yang Lei remembered Xiao Yu was still beside him. He took a look and found out that Xiao Yu had already fainted, while Yang Xiong's corpse had vanished into thin air. Could it be that killing someone really is like defeating a monster? After being killed, the corpse doesn't even exist? But this way, it does save some trouble, after all, dealing with the corpse would require some effort.

  "Xiao Yu, wake up." Yang Lei patted Xiao Yu's delicate face.

  "Master, master, hurry up and leave, hurry up."

  "Xiao Yu is fine, right?" Yang Lei let out a sigh of relief as he saw her wake up, hoping that she wouldn't be scared silly. This little maid was still very loyal to him and was also a beautiful young thing. Although she was only 14 years old now, she had already developed into a lovely and charming girl, or else she wouldn't have been targeted by that scoundrel Yang Xiong.

  "Master, where's Yang Xiong? Am I dreaming?" Xiaoyu looked around and found that there was nothing unusual in the surroundings, no body of Yang Xiong, and no bloodstains.

  Yang Lei was also puzzled, he had clearly sprayed blood on himself, but now it was gone. If not for the true energy he felt in his body, if not for the fact that his attribute level in the system had become 2nd grade, even Yang Lei himself would have thought it was just a dream. But since Xiaoyu was like this, Yang Lei didn't bother to explain anymore.

  "Yang Xiong, has Yang Xiong come? If he dares to come again, I'll kill him."

  "He didn't come, it's better that he didn't come. Young master, are you hungry? I'll go cook for you." Xiaoyu heard that Yang Xiong hadn't come and let out a sigh of relief, patting her chest, looking adorable to the extreme.

  "Xiao Yu, you're really beautiful."

  Xiao Yu's face turned red as she pouted and said, "Young Master."
