Two hundred antagonist emotion points were added to Li Luo's account.
Overcome with joy, Li Luo instantly spent these two hundred points to purchase three cultivation pills and one Foundation Building Pill.
The freshly acquired two hundred antagonist emotion points were instantly reduced to twenty.
"Here! The final four pills!"
Li Luo tossed the pills towards Ye Wangchuan.
Upon receiving the pills, Ye Wangchuan immediately put them in his mouth.
The moment Ye Wangchuan swallowed these four pills…
Boom!
A powerful aura erupted from his body!
He had broken through on spot, advancing from the early phase of the first level to the mid-phase!
With the breakthrough, the injuries, initially severe for someone at the first-tier early phase, became tolerable for someone at the mid-phase.
It seemed that Ye Wangchuan was aware that he had been pushed to his limits and could do no more.
Slowly, he stood up and pulled out the spear that blocked the entrance of the alley.
Next, he extended his hand towards Li Luo with a smile, saying, "Thanks."
"Mmm…"
Li Luo simply nodded in response.
Deep down, however, she was in utter distress.
Ye Wangchuan had consumed nine of her cultivation pills and four of her Foundation Building Pills!
How can you eat so much!
My rewards from defeating Tang San aren't even enough to cover your consumption, and I'm even paying out of pocket!
And you've even reached the middle phase of the first level, while I’m still not even at the first level yet!
Moreover, Ye Wangchuan got injured while saving me.
I can't even complain!
I can't even earn a single antagonist emotion point!
Oh no, my medicine pills!
Just as Li Luo was in despair, Ye Wangchuan noticed her bad mood and patted her on the shoulder.
"Li Luo, didn't you ask me in the alley why I chose to save you?"
"The reason is actually quite simple."
"I've met a lot of people. But most of them, because of who I am, tend either to fear me or to keep their distance."
"Everyone who keeps company with me does so on eggshells, afraid to upset me."
"But you? You don’t care about my status and converse with me freely."
"I like that. That's why I saved you. I didn't want to lose you."
Upon hearing Ye Wangchuan's words, Li Luo looked at him.
Speechless, she tapped on Ye Wangchuan lightly and said discontentedly.
"So why did you hit me when I cursed at you?"
"You had it coming."
"…"
Li Luo gave Ye Wangchuan a cold look before swiftly leaving the spot.
Once she was far away, she leaned against a wall, plunging into deep thought.
"Does Ye Wangchuan have feelings for me because of what he just said?"
"Great, now I can extract more antagonist emotion points!"
"Hehe, let's see if I can't bleed you dry!"
With a sinister laugh, Li Luo started preparing to exploit Ye Wangchuan for his emotion points.
…
Back at the alley entrance.
Upon seeing Li Luo's departure, Ye Wangchuan took out a medical pill from his space ring and popped it into his mouth.
Immediately, his injuries quickly healed up, and he was as good as new in no time.
"Hmm, should be able to get Li Luo to like me a bit more with my words just now."
"When she starts to like me more, I can extract more of her hard work."
"Heh heh, let's see if I can't fleece you."
With a chuckle, Ye Wangchuan planned on exploiting Li Luo some more.
Right then,
Ye Bai walked over.
"Master certainly has a ruthless approach, killing people just like that. In my view, Old Tang is merely seeking retribution for his son, did he really deserve to die?"
Ye Bai glanced at the two corpses on the ground as he spoke.
Yet, despite his seemingly sympathetic words, Ye Bai's expression was that of amusement and jest.
"Hm? Are we supposed to keep them for the New Year celebrations instead? Letting the enemy escape just so they can come back to seek revenge?"
"As far as the vengeance for his son goes, this old man would never have been able to let it go. Since the conflict couldn't be resolved, the only way out was to resolve the old man."
Ye Wangchuan spoke impassively.
"Right."
Ye Bai nodded in agreement, then asked,
"So, how should we dispose of these two bodies?"
"Just throw Old Tang's body at the front door of the Tang family's house. They won't have any objections. As for Tang San's corpse, burn it to prevent his resurrection."
As Ye Wangchuan answered, he started to change into a fresh set of clothes. His current outfit was bloodstained and uncomfortable.
Before leaving, Ye Wangchuan gave Tang San's corpse a last glance, the corner of his mouth slightly raised.
A suspicion he had held in his mind had finally been confirmed.
Children of Destiny could be killed.
It's just that Children of Destiny tend to have a lifesaving measure.
So when Ye Wangchuan kicked Tang San, he only reduced Tang San's life blood by 99%.
The man was just barely holding on, not dead yet.
However...
If a Child of Destiny attacks another Child of Destiny, this lifesaving measure could be bypassed.
Just like Li Luo, she went directly over, and broke Tang San's spine with a kick.
Not even having the time to rethink his life choices, Tang San immediately drew his last breath.
Despite Li Luo’s strength being comparable to that of a frail little girl, not at all formidable.
This meant that, if he wanted to kill other opposing Children of Destiny in the future, it would be best to have a friendly Child of Destiny by his side.
When he had pummeled the enemy down to their last breath, he could have the friendly Child of Destiny deliver the final blow.
In this way, the lifesaving measure could be ignored, striking down the opponent immediately, preventing any sort of revival.
"It seems that apart from skimming off profits from Li Luo, there's another reason for me to keep her around. How fortunate."
...
...
At the Tang household.
Bang! Bang!
A few servants from the Ye family walked over, casually tossing Old Tang's corpse towards the entrance of Tang's residence.
The leading servant cleared his throat and started shouting towards the interior of the residence,
"Behold the father and son of the Tang family! They barged into the Ye residence uninvited!"
"Tang San insulted a servant and was accidentally kicked to death!"
"Old Tang, in a fit of rage, attempted to attack honored guests of the Ye family, and was slain on the spot!"
"We request that the Tang family take care of their own bodies!"
The servants' ignominious declarations attracted the numerous spectators that thrived on such drama.
Afterward, the servants swiftly made their exit, slipping away into the crowd.
As the elders of the Tang family arrived, they found their patriarch lying dead at their doorstep, with a crowd of people laughing and gossiping around his body.
"Scram! All of you, scram! Who gave you the permission to gaze upon this?"
The oldest Tang family member chased the crowd away.
Several men hurriedly carried the corpse into their residence.
But once inside, one of the elders expressed his confusion.
"Hold on! Didn't that Ye family guard say Mr. Tang San was accidentally kicked to death? Where is Tang San's corpse?!"
"Exactly! Without young master Tang San's body, we won't even be able to resurrect him!"
"Damn Ye family! This is definitely a premeditated murder! They even knew not to return young master Tang San's body! The Ye family is trying to take down our Tang family!"
Several members of the Tang family started to speculate about the Ye family with various nefarious ideas.
At this point, the head elder of the Tang family spoke up.
"I think you all have a point, let's band together and attack the Ye family! Who will lead the charge?"
"......"
"......"
"......"
"Maybe young master Tang San’s body was accidentally stolen by some demons or monsters?"
"That's right! That's right!"
"At this point, let's eat first!"
Several elders of the Tang family skillfully change the topic, no longer discussing the matter.
As for Old Tang.
He's not worth resurrecting, he was directly thrown into the wild to feed the beasts.
