Chapter 428

Translation

The black-clothed man stared.

Not bad, the princess said it—my cultivation is originally a heaven-defying art; as long as I ingest the blood of my close kin, my strength can rise another level!

Strength, supreme strength!

She wants to become a top-tier expert!

She wants all beings to bow down and worship!

Ye Huanhuan's eyes flickered with mad greed.

But don't forget, the price is the life of your closest kin.

The black-clothed man reminded indifferently.

So what?

Ye Huanhuan didn't think much of it.

If one does not act for oneself, heaven and earth will destroy them!

Before supreme strength, what is the life of one's closest kin?

Are you ready to kill your father and mother?

Kill father and mother?

Ye Huanhuan didn't think much of it.

Even if so, so what? If their lives can contribute to her strength, she'll kill them—kill them!

That would be their honor!

However...

For now it's not needed... Ye Huanhuan gave a cold smile, "Don't forget, I still have a close younger sister..."

Sisi, my good younger sister, sister has doted on you for so many years; it's time you made a contribution for sister!

What? You want to kill Sisi?

Hearing Ye Huanhuan's proposal, Ye Yu felt extremely shocked.

Even if he doesn't particularly like Ye Sisi, she is still his daughter!

Ye Huanhuan wants to kill her just to raise her cultivation—that's hardly justifiable!

Father, Sisi's life can exchange for my entry into the Xuan Huang realm! You should know, the Xuan Huang realm is exceedingly rare in the Central Region; by then I will be an existence looked up to by all!

Ye Huanhuan's eyes were full of anticipation.

Ye Yu swallowed.

One life of Ye Sisi for a Xuan Huang expert?

Upon further thought, he actually felt moved.

As for Zhao Shi, she widened her eyes in terror.

No, impossible! The maid helped translate her sign language.

Ye Sisi is the flesh she carried for ten months and gave birth to, a piece dropped from her body.

She cannot just watch her die!

Although Ye Sisi is an unremarkable daughter in every way, she is still her daughter after all!

Seeing Zhao Shi disagree, Ye Huanhuan's face instantly showed displeasure.

Mother, one must give to gain; Sisi's life for my Xuan Huang realm—she dies deservedly!

Although that's so, I ultimately...

Zhao Shi covered her face and wept; she simply couldn't bring herself to do it.

If it were an outsider unwilling to do it, not just one—even thousands or hundreds—she wouldn't care.

Father, what about you?

Ye Huanhuan stared fixedly at Ye Yu.

Ye Yu's eyes flashed, 'I...'

To be honest, he was actually moved. After all, for him the temptation of a Xuan Huang daughter is enormous; as for Ye Sisi, she is too ordinary, basically unable to bring him any benefit—what use is keeping such a daughter?

I agree!

Ye Yu hesitated a bit, then steeled himself and agreed.

Ye Huanhuan showed a satisfied smile, feeling relieved that Ye Yu knew the times.

Mother, look, Father has agreed—what about you?

Zhao Shi dared not look at Ye Huanhuan, feeling this daughter was too strange.

Today she wants Ye Sisi's life; will she demand theirs in a few days?

Ye Huanhuan saw the situation, her face darkened: "Mother, let me tell you frankly—my mission this time returning is to kill Ye Qingran. But I never expected the Medicine King Gu Gu Master to appear and save her. If the people of Yunfu in Nan Yin Zhou learn I failed the mission, do you think they'll let me go?"

Zhao Shi stared, "What do you mean?"

What do you mean? It means that if I cannot kill Ye Qingran, then the one who will die is me!

Zhao Shi and Ye Yu both showed shocked expressions.

Is this true? Ye Yu panicked.

Why would I deceive you?

What should we do? Ye Yu anxiously paced in place.

Ye Qingran possesses Xuan Zun strength, so I am eager to break through to Xuan Huang, so I can have confidence to personally take her life!

Ye Huanhuan's eyes revealed a ruthless resolve.

As long as Ye Qingran lives one day, she will not have peace for a day.

"So that's it!" Ye Yu said tremblingly, "Huanhuan, you're so eager to ascend to Xuan Emperor just to kill Ye Qingran?"

"Exactly. If Ye Qingran doesn't die, I'll be the one who dies later; if I die, do you think Ye Qingran will spare you?"

Ye Yu and Zhao Shi both shivered all over.

They, too, will die?

"No, I don't want to die!" Ye Yu kept shaking his head, muttering.

"I haven't lived enough yet, I don't want to die either!" Zhao Shi also wore a terrified expression.

Ye Huanhuan gave a mocking smile. Her parents are also cowardly, fear‑loving vermin.

"Then, mother, think carefully again: sacrifice Sisi alone, or have all four of us die without peace?"

Zhao Shi's pupils contracted tightly; without thinking she blurted, "I don't want to die, let Sisi die!"

Ye Sisi learned that her sister Ye Huanhuan wanted to see her, so she steadied herself and went to the front hall; as she reached the doorway, she heard Zhao Shi's words.

Her expression changed instantly.

"Mother says, let her die?"

"Why?"

"Yes, let Sisi die. One person dying is better than all four of us dying, right?"

Ye Yu shouted in agreement.

Ye Sisi's heart sank suddenly.

"Father and mother, what does this mean?"

"Everyone wants her to die?"

"What exactly did she do wrong?"

"Just like this, inexplicably assigned a destined death?"

She was panicked, she was scared, she wanted to flee, but she slipped and fell.

The commotion outside drew the attention of several people in the hall.

Ye Huanhuan's gaze hardened, and she lunged out; Ye Sisi staggered to her feet, intending to run away.

"My dear little sister, all flustered, where are you going?"

Ye Huanhuan's voice, like a demon's, came from behind Ye Sisi.

She was tense all over, feeling as if she had fallen into an ice cellar; her heart seemed clenched by a huge hand, making it hard to breathe.

She slowly turned around, Ye Sisi's pretty face pale.

The few people before her were her blood relatives; they'd been together for nearly twenty years, yet at this moment she found them so unfamiliar.

Their faces were familiar down to the bones, but the way they looked at her was no longer familiar.

"Who exactly are you?"

Ye Huanhuan laughed, "Who else could we be? I'm your sister, they are your parents. What, you don't even recognize your own parents and sister?"

Ye Sisi shook her head lightly; of course she knew who they were, but their gaze at her was no different from looking at a corpse.

Her parents, her sister, her blood relatives—how could they look at her with such eyes?

A tingling ran over her scalp, disappointment rose from her feet upward, causing her whole body to break out in goosebumps.
