Go ask Ersheng from the same town—his father tied him to a tree and whipped him with a belt, and nobody said a word. Why is it different with you? Like we’re deliberately abusing you?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Cuilan had been too frightened to speak after Yang Yi’s words, but hearing her husband say that, she regained her courage. “Exactly! Which kid hasn’t been beaten by their parents? You’re perfectly fine—no missing limbs, no broken bones—so why are you complaining about us? We raised you this long; even if we didn’t earn merit, we certainly suffered hardship. You’re being ungrateful—” She quickly swallowed the word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dad! Mom! Don’t you see yet? She’s got power now, money, status—she doesn’t want to acknowledge us as poor relatives anymore. She’s just using these old, petty grievances to get rid of us, so we can’t benefit from her!” Yang Hui spoke with sarcastic venom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Ze couldn’t sit still anymore. Yang Yi’s attitude was completely unlike what he’d expected. As the family’s little emperor, the only boy since childhood, he’d always been pampered—Yang Yi, even his own sister Yang Hui, had to yield to him. He’d always gotten whatever he wanted by throwing tantrums and begging, and no one in the house had ever defied him. Ever since childhood, whenever dealing with Yang Yi, he’d never asked—he’d just taken. Her current attitude had enraged him beyond measure. Thinking of his position and money, and how she now refused to give him anything, he’d grown so used to her silent submission that he couldn’t possibly tolerate this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Ze leapt up from the sofa, pointing a finger at Yang Yi, his face twisted with malice: “Listen here, Yang Yi—no matter if you’re the number one Awakened now, even if you became president today, you still bear the Yang surname! You were raised by our family! Everyone in town knows you’re an orphan with no father, no mother, no one who wanted you. If we hadn’t given you a single meal, you’d have died somewhere long ago—how could you possibly have what you have today?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Yi’s smile grew wider, but her gaze grew heavier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Siyuan stared at the family in disbelief. He’d never encountered people so stupid and vile—today was truly an eye-opener. In fact, he even felt a little sorry for Yang Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Yang Yi laugh instead, Yang Ze’s anger surged further: “Do you think I’m bluffing? If you don’t do as I say, once you walk out that door, we’ll spread the word about what a thankless, ungrateful wolf you are. Let everyone see how you’ve betrayed your own family! You’re famous now—lots of people are waiting to dig up dirt on you. We’ll go to TV stations, expose you to the media, sue you for filial impiety!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Hui also jumped up, her face filled with threats and smugness: “I know you’re powerful now—so what? Do you think you can use your superpowers to kill the people who raised you? Dare you? Just see what the whole country will say about you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Guangchang snorted coldly and turned his head away. Chen Cuilan felt a flicker of unease, but seeing her husband and children so confident, she began to believe they were right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They genuinely believed they stood on the side of justice—they had raised Yang Yi, so she owed them everything, forever, and should be theirs to take as they pleased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Yi looked at these four people. Once, she’d imagined that facing this scene, she’d be consumed by rage, finally unleashing twenty years of suppressed pain, using every means possible for revenge. But now, her heart felt more peaceful than ever before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her emotions had receded into the background. The Yang Yi sitting here was merely an emotionless shell, watching a drama that had nothing to do with her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they finished speaking, Yang Yi spoke calmly: “Go ahead. Sue me. Expose me on TV. Or better yet, go to foreign media—say I’m ungrateful, say I’m selfish, list how hard you worked raising me, only to raise a thankless wolf! Let the whole world know that the number one Awakened, the so-called superhuman, the god among men, is a petty, ungrateful traitor!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four Yangs stared at her in disbelief, thinking she’d lost her mind from rage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Yi crossed her legs the other way, rested her elbows on either side of the sofa, and let her hands naturally interlace—she looked utterly at ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let me tell you what will happen if you do this. If you shout on the streets, or drag a white cloth like petitioners, write in blood on it, and go to the government building or the busiest streets to scream, cry, and beg—then what? You’ll be arrested by urban management or police for disturbing public order. You won’t need me to say a word—you’ll get the harshest sentence possible. How long you rot in prison? That depends on how long I want you to stay there.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You… you’re lying! How could they listen to you…?” Yang Guangchang protested, but his voice had lost its edge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Yi raised an eyebrow and ignored him, continuing: “If you think that’s too high a price, go straight to the media and expose me. Let me tell you what will happen next. First, no domestic TV station will broadcast any smear campaign against me. Don’t even dream of saying anything damaging about me on any official channel. Instead, they’ll coax you into saying even more—then interview every neighbor in our town, every friend and teacher I’ve had since childhood, proving how difficult my upbringing was, how much torment and abuse I suffered at the hands of you so-called family. And your tearful accusations of my ingratitude? They’ll become proof that you couldn’t exploit me, so you tried to defame me instead!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four Yangs’ faces darkened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Yi shrugged: “You think this is unfair? Oh right—what about foreign media? You mean those hostile to our country? The dirt on the ‘God Among Men’? They’ll go wild when they hear it, won’t they? Let me tell you what will happen next. The moment those rumors are released, police will knock on your door and arrest all of you for treason. You think those foreign media will defend you and pressure the Xia government? No—you’ll be like the dry pulp left after squeezing sugarcane, useless. For the rest of your lives, you’ll rot in prison! And if I wish, I can make your time there worse than hell itself—I’ll make you wish you were dead rather than alive in this world!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four of them were growing visibly uneasy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You don’t believe I have this kind of power? Then test it! Use your tiny, feeble brains to think—what is my ability now? What is my significance? What am I? I’m a weapon more terrifying than a nuclear bomb! If I wanted, I could kill millions in an instant. I could obliterate a megacity in a second. To me, you’re just four tiny ants. Suppose I kill you right now…” Her face twitched suddenly, then returned to its habitual calm smile:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even if I killed you now, I’d face no punishment. On the contrary, they’d go out of their way to cover it up. Your bodies would be erased—no trace left. All your records would vanish, as if you’d never existed in this world. That’s your only possible end.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Ze, overwhelmed by her aura, collapsed back onto the sofa. All four now looked pale as ash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So, are you still going to continue?” Yang Yi lifted her head, looking down at these so-called relatives. “Do you know? My indifference has already been the greatest mercy I could offer you… and yet you still dare to hope…” She frowned at the four fools, as if staring at four utterly incomprehensible aliens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, she said softly: “Leave. Don’t show your faces to me again.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1355,"2026-06-20T07:52:47.920Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","b54a61b93cf361f0989070abbf596acd055d393e1859c5ddc9b3df8e34811c9e","after-becoming-a-god-among-humans-i-just-want-to-chapter-75","after-becoming-a-god-among-humans-i-just-want-to-chapter-73",246,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fafter-becoming-a-god-among-humans-i-just-want-to-cover.jpg"]
