Hell's Rainforest.
A blood-covered man collapsed on the ground.
Teng Ao's expression was filled with grief and disbelief: "Why... why did it have to be you?"
"Weren't we brothers?!"
The reason for Teng Ao's grief was none other than the person before him...
Who had once been his brother-in-arms through life and death.
Hearing these words,
The man lying on the ground merely pulled a grotesque smile and said hoarsely: "Teng Ao... people change."
"You've held that position for far too long."
"After that great battle back then, everyone only remembers the War God."
"But we... we could only remain in the shadows like supporting characters."
"That's why... I pledged allegiance to that master!"
Upon hearing this,
Teng Ao's fists clenched with an audible crack.
His heart grew heavy.
Ever since he took on this mission six years ago, he had always felt an invisible hand controlling everything from behind.
Now it was clear that this mastermind was the same master his brothers spoke of!
Thinking this, Teng Ao shook his head, took a deep breath, and said solemnly: "Who is this master? Tell me! I'll take you to get treatment!"
"After you help me take revenge on your master, we can be brothers again."
Hearing this,
The man on the ground's expression grew even more sorrowful, and he smiled bitterly: "Teng Ao, after what I've done to you, why are you still willing to spare me?"
Hearing this, Teng Ao took a deep breath and said earnestly: "Because we are brothers."
At these words,
The fallen man's expression suddenly turned guilty and remorseful.
He regretted it, truly regretted it.
But that being was also an incredibly terrifying existence.
If he were to reveal everything here, perhaps...
His family...
Seeming to notice his concerns,
Teng Ao earnestly promised: "Don't worry, if you're concerned about your family's safety, I'll have my friend in the Royal City look after them!"
Hearing this, the man was stunned, muttering: "Friend in the Royal City?"
"That's right."
Teng Ao nodded: "When I first entered the Royal City, only that person didn't mock and ridicule me like those arrogant royal children."
"And it was she who brought Wen Yu and me together."
As he spoke,
Teng Ao suddenly noticed his good brother's expression becoming increasingly ugly, increasingly horrified, increasingly... terrifying?
He asked worriedly: "You..."
Before he could finish,
"Hahahahaha!!!"
The man lying on the ground suddenly burst into maniacal laughter, forcing himself up despite the pain.
Holding a curved blade, his eyes bulging, he sneered at Teng Ao: "Teng Ao!"
"Ah, Teng Ao! So that's how it is!"
"Hahaha!!"
"Let me tell you the truth!"
"Why do you think this mission took place in this rainforest?!"
"Hahaha! It's actually because the master needed the War God Temple and us to keep you occupied!"
"So the master could obtain the War God's Command Token from your wife and daughter!!"
At these words,
War God Teng Ao's expression changed drastically, and he roared: "What did you say?!"
Wen Yu and the others were in danger?!
The next second,
"Teng Ao!! Die!!"
Before Teng Ao could react, the man roared and swung his curved blade at him.
Teng Ao's expression changed, and just as he was about to defend himself,
The next moment,
Swoosh!!
A black figure appeared instantly behind the man, followed by a flash of blade light.
Thud!
The man was beheaded, his body falling to the ground.
"!!!"
Teng Ao's pupils constricted as he stared in disbelief at his suddenly decapitated brother.
Then, he roared at the mysteriously appeared black-robed figure: "What are you doing?!!"
Facing Teng Ao's fury,
The black-robed person calmly said: "He was trying to kill you, couldn't you see that?"
"He's my brother! He wasn't really trying to kill me then!"
Teng Ao roared.
He could sense it, could sense that the other person hadn't truly intended to kill him.
After all, even when healthy, his brother was no match for him, let alone now.
"How foolish. Teng Ao, this is why my lady says you're too naive."
"What did you say?"
Teng Ao was stunned.
The black-robed person said nothing more but took out a small device.
The next moment,
Shangguan Chuxue's voice came through: "Teng Ao, long time no see."
Hearing this voice,
Teng Ao's alert expression finally relaxed slightly, though he remained uncertain: "Shangguan Chuxue, is that you?"
Shangguan Chuxue was one of the few close friends he had made in the Royal City.
"How did you find me here?"
"Heh."
Shangguan Chuxue gave a light laugh, then...
Said solemnly: "Because your wife and daughter were recently attacked by people sent by the Su family's young miss, Su Muwan."
"What?!"
......
.....
Su Family Villa.
Living room.
"(＾－＾)V Yay!"
"I did it!"
"Qin Luo, look!"
Su Muwan sat on the sofa like an excited child, joyfully watching the ending CG scene playing on the TV.
Qin Luo returned with a bag of barbecue: "Young Miss, you beat the game?"
"Hmph! Of course!!"
"Five days, it only took me five days to complete this game!"
Su Muwan snorted lightly, then eagerly took the barbecue from Qin Luo: "Oh, Qin Luo, you even bought my favorite palm delicacy, mm, not bad!"
"Tell me what you've been up to today?"
Qin Luo sat nearby, preparing drinks while saying: "Went to recruit followers for you, Young Miss."
"Under the identity of the young master of Chen Family Martial Medicine."
"Munch munch, oh, you mean that Chen family that sells martial arts medicine globally..."
Su Muwan nodded while chewing.
Then,
Hm?
She looked at Qin Luo in surprise: "Chen Family Martial Medicine?"
She remembered that in her previous life, this Chen family's young master had been unremarkable in recent years.
But after graduating from Martial Arts University, although his martial arts talent wasn't great,
His medicine-making talent was extraordinary!
He had forcefully reached the Peak Realm by taking his own refined medicines!
Some even offered astronomical prices for him to refine breakthrough pills.
How did Qin Luo manage to recruit such a talent?
So, Su Muwan asked curiously: "Qin Luo, how did you manage that?"
"Did you use money?"
"No."
"Your charm?"
"No."
"Then what did you promise him?"
"Well, sort of."
"What promise?"
"To help him stop being a lovesick fool."
"....You're crazy."
....
....
In Shangguan Chuxue's back garden.
"As expected of master, effortlessly controlling both the War God and the King of Rakshasas!"
Yuwen Hua, unseen for a long time, looked respectfully at the figure routinely watering flowers before him.
"Heh, this is just the first step."
Shangguan Chuxue laughed lightly, her eyes revealing a mysterious meaning: "Next, let's see how Su Muwan handles my upcoming moves."
lan, the Luo family, tracked him down - along with the babies in their arms. Mo Xuan stared pensively at the paternity test results from over a dozen top institutions, both domestic and international, showing a 99.99% match between himself and the two baby girls. At 23, Mo Xuan, a doctoral student, had become the father of two three-year-old children. The kicker? The mothers weren't even the same person! He gradually realized he was being lured step by step into an elaborate trap designed by these two yandere sisters. "Be good, little Xuan. Sister's life belongs to you entirely." "Brother, if you try to run away, I'll have no choice but to tie you up." Mo Xuan: "Do whatever you want, ladies. I give up."

grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all."
