Chapter Seventeen: The Life of Xi Yu

  "I just don't want to see them, I didn't ask you to kill them, can't you just let them go?" The girl in the simple dress looked at Su Ming with a panicked expression, her voice trembling slightly.

  "Alright, I misunderstood your meaning. However, these five people must die because they are not from our Su clan." Su Ming smiled apologetically.

  "Are you from the Su Clan?" The girl in white clothes heard Su Ming say that he was a member of the Su Clan, and her tense nerves relaxed a bit, asking with a hint of doubt.

  "I am the young master of the Su clan, and my father is the leader of the Su clan, Su Han." Su Ming smiled as he introduced himself.

  "Is your father really Grand Commander Su Han?" The girl in the plain dress no longer had a stiff expression, and her eyes looking at Su Ming were no longer filled with vigilance.

  Su Ming nodded.

  "The people of the Su tribe rarely see Young Master." The girl in simple clothes bowed respectfully to Su Ming, as in the tribal hierarchy, the Su family was the most noble, and others had to bow to show respect.

  "No need to be so polite." Su Ming helped Xi Yu up, and as their eyes met, his face actually flushed slightly.

  "Xǐ Yǔ, can you tell me what just happened?" Sū Míng hastily asked to avoid awkwardness.

  At the sound of Su Ming's inquiry, Xiuyan's eyebrows slightly moved, her beautiful eyes reddened, and crystal tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes, her pitiful appearance causing Su Ming great heartache.

  "Little girl, don't cry, tell me what's going on." Su Ming gently patted Xi Yu and asked in a low voice.

  "Back to Young Master, Xiǎo Yǔ was originally a member of the Su family's border tribe. Our tribe has just over 500 people, although we don't live in luxury, but we also live carefree. However, ten days ago, the leader of the Hei Guǐ (Black Ghost) tribe led 500 warriors to propose to my father, asking him to give our tribe as a dowry when I marry out. And gave my father three days to prepare."

  "What a black devil tribe, it's just a group of robbers, shameless bastards." Su Ming cursed with a fierce swing of his hand.

  Su Ming saw himself losing his composure and suppressed the anger in his heart: "Sorry, you continue."

  Xi Yu wiped away her tears, her red lips moving slightly: "My father didn't want me to marry that black devil, so he hid me and sent someone to the Su family's tribe to ask for help. Who knew the Su family was weakened and couldn't assist us? I hid in a cellar for several days, and after running out of food, I came out to get some more, only to find our tribe destroyed and my people killed. While searching for any survivors, I was discovered by several warriors from the black devil's tribe and escaped all the way here."

  At this point, Xi Yu was already sobbing uncontrollably.

  "Xishou, don't cry, I'll avenge this for you." Su Ming couldn't bear to see women cry, especially Xishou, whose tears were so moving that they almost took his life.

  "Really?" Xi Yu's face, full of tears, showed a hint of surprise, her beautiful eyes moved slightly, and the gaze she gave to Su Ming had an unusual flavor.

  "As long as you don't cry, I'll definitely avenge this grudge for you." Su Ming reached out to wipe away Xi Yu's tears, looking at her with a pained expression.

  "If Young Master helps me avenge, I, Xiǎoyǔ, am willing to serve you for the rest of my life and repay you by being your servant." Xiǎoyǔ said with a slightly red face, somewhat excitedly.

  Just now, Su Ming easily killed those five Black Ghost Tribe warriors, which means that Su Ming is a cultivator and the son of Su Han. As long as Su Ming is willing to help her, she will definitely be able to avenge herself.

  "Your tribe is attached to the Su clan, and you are also a member of the Su clan. It's only right that you avenge your clansmen." Su Ming said with great righteousness.

  "Young master, you are a good person. If you don't mind, I, Xi Yu, would like to be your servant and serve you for the rest of my life." Xi Yu bowed to Su Mingyu and said sincerely.

  "Xǐ Yǔ, you don't have to do this. If you're willing, you can come back with me. I'm sure my parents will be delighted to meet you. When the opportunity arises, I'll definitely avenge you by killing all the warriors of the Black Ghost Tribe." Su Ming said in a low tone.

  "I'm willing, I'm willing." Xi Yu nodded in agreement with tears in her eyes. She had no home to return to and someone was willing to take her in, which was a blessing for her.

  After Xi Yu agreed, Su Ming forgot about his intention to go to the swamp to hunt for demonic beasts and instead brought Xi Yu back to where he lived.

  Su Ming's mother took a liking to Xi Yu at first sight and directly recognized her as her goddaughter. Su Ming was depressed for many days because of this, Xi Yu became his own god-sister, so how could he pursue her? Wasn't it impossible to develop his god-sister into a "god" sister?

  Su Ming's family lived in a small place, with only two small stone huts and a small courtyard. They were originally worried that Xi Yu would be uncomfortable, but unexpectedly, Xi Yu had never lived in a stone hut before, and her current living environment was already the best she had ever had since childhood.

  Under the company of Su Ming's mother, Xi Yu quickly walked out of her sorrow and also integrated into this small family of four, whose life became more and more harmonious.

  After spending several days together, Su Ming found himself increasingly fond of Xi Yu. Such a beautiful woman would captivate anyone's heart, and Su Ming couldn't help but think of ways to make her his own. However, Xi Yu continued to treat him with utmost respect, serving him like a young master, which made Su Ming hesitant to make a move, leaving him with a frustrating sense of being unable to eat the sheep that had wandered into the wolf's den.

  Due to Xiuyu's appearance, Suming's trip to the swamp was delayed again and again. If it weren't for Xiuyu's pleading, Suming would probably not have escaped a beating from Suhan. Suhan had repeatedly forbidden Suming from going out, and after this incident, he became even stricter in his supervision of Suming.

  Unable to head to the swamp, Su Ming began cultivating his innate skills. He possessed Force of Qi, Control of Boundary, and Intention of Thought. Under Su Han's guidance, Su Ming started cultivating Force of Qi and Control of Boundary every day. However, no one in the Su family possessed Intention of Thought, so Su Ming was unable to cultivate it. Innate skills were unique to the Sealed Divine Continent, and even the small spirits couldn't provide any assistance.

  The training was the most boring and painful, Su Ming ran dozens of kilometers every day with a huge boulder in his hands, gradually increasing from a thousand kilograms until he collapsed to the ground.

  A warrior who has reached the realm of power has an advantage over other warriors in terms of strength and can increase their own strength more quickly.

  The first level of Force requires a force of 1,000 catties with both hands without using spiritual energy. The second level is stacked to reach 2,000 catties, and the third level requires 4,000 catties. When reaching the highest ninth level, it requires 256,000 catties. Cultivating Force to the ninth level means that even without using spiritual energy, one can kill a sixth-grade demon beast with just one punch.

  Every day, Su Ming would be exhausted and collapse to the ground, but on the second day, Su Ming would be energetic and lively again. His physical recovery ability was extremely strong, even Su Han couldn't help but admire it, and all of this was thanks to the little elf's efforts.
