  Near Ye Cai's ancestral home, there is a wheat field.

  The confrontation between the You Ge team and Xiao Long's gang before the fierce battle.

  Two groups of people, about ten meters apart, faced off against each other. Yu Ge held a straw, Xiao Long pinched his fingers, the atmosphere was tense and intimidating.

  A member of the Little Dragon Team patted the backpack on his back, and at this moment, he noticed a blurry figure in the spring breeze out of the corner of his eye. As the figure solidified, he suddenly shouted in surprise: "Ye Shen is here! Brothers, let's help those in need with a loud shout!"

  The two groups of people scattered in all directions, leaving only You Ge and Xiao Long staring at each other.

  The little dragon with a small head grasped his fists tightly, gnashing his teeth in resentment, and turned to face the approaching figures. Meanwhile, You Ge, who had a ponytail, haughtily tilted his neck, casting a sidelong glance at Ye Shen and the others as they approached.

  A white shirt, hands in pockets, short messy hair, a slight pout, and an indifferent face.

  Ye Shen has arrived, also known as Ye Cai from childhood.

  Behind him followed three trusted followers and a young man with his pants bulging, suspected to be a girl, with freckles all over his face.

  "What? You two want to gang up and fight?"

  Ye Cai's face was indifferent, gazing at these two key figures.

  One of them, You Ge, spat out the straw in his mouth and smiled all over his face, making a flirtatious expression as he stared at Ye Cai with adoration. The other party, Xiao Long, however, let out a cold laugh, propping up against the terrifying pressure brought by Ye Shen's aura, and asked back, "What if I am?"

  As soon as this was said, a surge of icy air swept across the scene, and in an instant, the atmosphere condensed. Only Ye Shen's eyes locked onto him, his finger pointing in anger: "This is a crime!"

  The little dragon stared blankly, blinked its eyes, and said: "Really?"

  Under the gaze of several trusted and admired followers behind him, Ye Cai flicked his head and said, "Who's that? Take these two kids away."

  Then a timid little boy lowered his head and counted on his fingers, while three trusted men rushed forward in a hurry to tie up You Ge and Xiao Long.

  Xiao Long naturally hung his head in defeat, but You Ge suddenly reached out and opened Ye Cai's chest, then turned around and waved at Ye Cai, saying: "Thanks for the hard work, Ye Shen."

  "Wait!"

  Ye Cai angrily rebuked him, his cold eyes slanting over, saying: "Fleeing in fear of punishment?"

  "Is it, is it? You want to run away?"

  "What Ye Shen said is right, you'd better surrender obediently!"

  ……

  Dodge the two little rascals who were echoing Ye Cai's words and rushing over with the intention of pushing him down, You Ge found a chance to lower his face and said: "Ye Shen, I respect you for a foot, it's because I look up to you, don't pretend to drink and then not drink or you'll be punished."

  "Ah!"

  Ye Cai cursed and rolled up his sleeves, taking big strides forward: "You two get out of the way, today I'll let you understand what it means to have a different kind of red in the reflected sunlight on the lotus flowers."

  Xin Fu pushed open a path with a reverent expression, Ye Cai raised his fist and patted it on, patting it onto You Ge's angrily raised right leg. He covered his chest and coughed a few times, saying "I underestimated you little kid".

  Then he grinned, raised his fist and pounced on Yu Ge's angrily raised right fist, covering his chin and shaking his head. He stood up and said, "You little devil still has some skills."

  Then he sank his face, observed for a moment, raised his fist and patted it on the left fist that You Ge had just lifted. The two of them lost their balance and rolled around on the ground, hugging each other tightly.

  Staring at the two men rolling on the ground, his entourage hesitated whether to go and help. Just then, a small figure with anger flashed in the corner of their eyes. Ye Shen's sister rushed towards the two middle school students who were rolling around not far away, holding **.

  Accompanied by a loud cry, Ye Shen's sister suddenly crouched down and stabbed the knife in one go. At the same time, Ye Cao took advantage of the situation to turn over and was hit by a knife. A sharp cry, Ye Shen's sister covered her mouth and sat on the ground trembling.

  Yu Ge, taking advantage of the situation, hugged Ye Cai and flipped over, only to hear Ye Cai let out a shrill cry. Yu Ge was stunned to discover that his hands and the grass were covered in bright red blood, and he was so frightened that he scrambled backward on all fours.

  The confidants were all frightened and their legs were trembling. The timid little boy also stared blankly.

  Under the gaze of the crowd, Ye Cai flipped over and lay on the ground, limp and weak, shouting: "It hurts so much..."

  The goddess quickly crawled over and kept saying sorry.

  He lay on his back, with his face to the sky and his feet towards the grass. He took a mouthful of grass and then turned away, spitting out a wad of saliva as he smiled weakly and muttered: "I'm still young, my paradise..."

  Yu Ge took a deep breath and hurried over, stuttering: "Ye Cai, you...you...do you have any last wishes? Say...say it..."

  Ye Cai struggled to lift her eyes, gazing longingly at the azure sky. Her mouth, usually indifferent and slightly averted, now curved into a gentle smile of peace and tranquility. She murmured: "I... want to build a paradise where there is no crime, no suffering..."

  The entire audience couldn't help but tremble with fear, staring at Ye Shen in shock.

  Ye Shen's eyes widened and his pupils trembled, just like what happened today.

  Now sixteen years old, Ye Shen's sister had a round and slightly red eyes that seemed to be filled with resentment. She held a knife in her hands, pointing at the female version of Ye Cai who was leaning back slightly, shaking her head and crying: "You're not my brother, my brother is not like you...my brother has never cried..."

  Cold, disappointed, desolate, lonely...

  Innumerable scenes flashed through Ye Cai's eyes, until they slowly widened in shock. She stared blankly, then suddenly let out a cold laugh and lowered her head to hide her face, making it impossible to see her expression.

  The old mother in the rear is still stretching out her hand and shouting, just like a desert castaway yearning for an oasis.

  Xiao Xue behind Ye Cai was completely frightened, her body stiffened and she didn't dare to move.

  With a clang, the fruit knife fell to the ground.

  Ye Xiao Xiao finally threw herself into Ye Cai's arms, crying for a long time, wanting to pour out her grievances as she lifted her face, but was startled and then exclaimed in surprise: "Brother!"

  Under the gloomy and hazy eyes of Liu Hai, a hint of impatience and mockery was etched on his lips, while his face remained wooden. Then, under the stunned gaze of Old Mom and Xiao Xue, Ye Cai bent down to pick up the fruit knife, forced a sinister smile, and stuffed it into his sister's hand, her face pale with fear and anxiety, and raised his chin, saying: "Come on, stab me."

  With a clang, the fruit knife fell to the ground once again.

  Her sister covered her mouth and trembled all over, gazing at Ye Cai with a resentful look, her eyes shining with tears.

  "Ugh——" Ye Cai wiped her face and shook her head in disdain, saying: "You've really watched too many cartoons, you're brain-dead, and now you're even learning from others how to play the 'darkening' game, humph..."

  A cold laugh, awakened the astonishment in Ye Xiaoxiao's tear-filled eyes, then a sudden sob, she knelt down on the ground with her hands covering her face, bowing her waist, crying towards the floor.

  Her face was pale and expressionless, Ye Cai turned her head back, and with a flick of her eyes, she signaled to Xiao Xue: "You go up first."

  Xiao Xue hesitated for a moment, then nodded reluctantly and went up the stairs step by step.

  She glanced at her old mother who was lying on the sofa, took a deep breath and walked over to pull her up, with gentle care in her eyes and worried gaze.

  The old woman clutched her chest, gasping for breath, her face contorted in pain. Her eyes were fixed on Ye Xiaoxiao, who was kneeling on the ground, crying. She looked at Ye Cai and wanted to say something, but instead, she let out a cold sigh, gritted her teeth, and forced herself to say: "Go... go..."
