“What for?”

The conversation continued to flow. Suddenly, she noticed Li Xianyu was staring at her intently. The girl with masochist tendencies looked down in shame.

Li Xianyu’s anger boiled from within as he refused loudly, “Don’t do it.”

“Although You Mengyu is related to the Shen family, she’s not too deeply involved, otherwise I would have killed her,” Great-grandma motioned for her great-grandson to calm down, and continued to explain to the crowd, “Before he awakened, he was killed once by Shen Meng from the Shen family. He was pushed down from the roof.”

As she mentioned it, everyone recalled the incident. You Mengyu said, “Last month, a large number of people from the Shen family suddenly flew to the United States to avoid disaster. It caused quite a stir among the demon descendant community in Chongqing. Everyone thought that something had happened to them. Later, I learned that they had provoked you, Great-grandma. Yesterday, I received a phone call from my mother. The night we met with the Ancient Gods Clan, a small number of people from the Shen family flew to the United States overnight, yet again.”

Great-Grandma scorned in disdain. “I won’t bother to find them. I just made a pact with all the big families. I can’t break the rules. When Xianyu grows up, I will deal with the Shens thoroughly.”

If it weren’t for Li Xianyu, given Great-Grandma’s temper, she would have massacred the Shen family.

The live broadcast two days ago caused a big furore amongst the demon descendants. That night, the head of the Shen family and a few other important figures flew to the United States overnight to take refuge. It didn’t matter what War Spirit Wushuang’s purpose of coming to Chongqing was, they just wanted to avoid her.

After receiving Great-Grandma’s promises, the major families felt at ease, ready to refresh themselves and await the opening of the Great Deities Palace.

At this time, the Shen family naturally did not want to waste its resources on handling War Spirit Wushuang.

Li Xianyu finally knew about You Mengyu’s parentage. You Mengyu’s mother was the sister of the head of the Shen family for her generation. That head of the Shen family had many wives. Excluding his concubines, he had more than ten wives in name alone.

More than half of them were cousins who were related by blood. Those who were beautiful and brilliant were kept in the back palace as part of his harem.

In the family of demon descendants, this was a basic principle and a common phenomenon. The power of demon descendants came from their blood lineage. It was the duty and responsibility of every head of the family to ensure that pure descendants for the family were born. Therefore, intra-clan marriages and marriages between families had become a common occurrence amongst demon descendants.

It was normal for cousins of the previous generations to get married. Over the years, the quality of the social groups had improved as a whole. Fewer cousins of blood descent had married, but intermarriage among different families was still a common practice.

You Mengyu’s mother was supposed to marry a distant cousin, but she fell in love with a young man with an ordinary background. You Mengyu’s mother was an independent and powerful woman. She gritted her teeth and had sex with him, and went back to see her parents pregnant.

She was not very outstanding among her many brothers and sisters. By right, she deserved to be disowned. However, the Shen family did not do anything to break up the couple. Instead, they chose to outcast her.

You Mengyu had only been to the family mansion a few times since she was young. Even when she was there, she was not welcome.

Fortunately, her father was a good man. He worked hard for 20 years and achieved success in his career, owning many properties and becoming quite an influential figure in Chongqing.

She wasn’t close to the Shen family, and always kept her distance.

People like You Mengyu would have a chance to hold big power if she joined the company in the future. If it was the pure blood descendants of the demon descendants, it would be the opposite case. Baoze would not recruit such a person into the company.

Li Xianyu asked curiously, “Do you know Shen Rou?”

“Shen Rou…” You Mengyu shook her head. “Never heard of her. I’m not close to the Shen family, but the name is familiar to me.”

Then, You Mengyu seemed to think of something. She patted her head and said, “Ah, I remember. She was my mother’s great-aunt. When I was a child, I often heard my mother talked about her, but her mother only addressed her by ‘great-aunt’, not her name. She was…” She suddenly regained her conscious thinking as she carefully looked at the Lis.

Li Xianyu said, “She’s really beautiful.” She was hot too, Li Xianyu added in his heart.

Shen Rou was one of the most beautiful women, the cream of the crop. She had a curvaceous figure and a beautiful face.

You Mengyu was stunned. “How do you know?”

How can I not know? I watched her and my ancestors engage in fornication. Li Xianyu could not answer her frankly though.

You Mengyu sighed. “It was too much of the big families to imprison a big man and take him as a fertility machine. Every day, he was humiliated by different women. What kind of torture is that… Every time I think about it, I feel ashamed.”

But what about your yearning eyes and your excited tone? Li Xianyu noticed that the masochistic girl was having another relapse.

Liu Kongcao lifted his quilt, popped his head out and asked, “Fertility machine? I seem to have heard something extraordinary.”

“Big-mouthed!” Great-Grandma snorted coldly. In her opinion, it was a shame that her great-grandson had been imprisoned for many years as a fertility machine without human rights.

However, in the new era of China, her current great-grandson with no sense of belonging to a particular clan was very vocal in expressing his views about what his ancestor had experienced. You Mengyu supplemented his words from the side, as she divulged her family secrets which she had heard from her mother.

Xia Xiaoxue and Liu Kongcao listened with relish, as the latter was consumed by jealousy. “What kind of lunaticism is that? Li Xianyu, is your ancestor the blessed child of heaven?”

“I feel the same way, but my great-grandmother seems ashamed.” As he finished his words, Great-Grandma knocked his head once. He did not care about that as he continued to mutter in envy, “I don’t know if the other families have plans to hire the Li family descendants as child-bearing machines now.”

“Huh?” Two voices of doubt echoed out at the same time, from Great-Grandma and Thunderbolt Battle Lady.

Grandma stole a glance at Thunderbolt Battle Lady; the long-legged beauty blushed slightly, turning her head away frantically.

Li Xianyu didn’t notice this detail, otherwise he would surely have been able to detect something.

Grandma’s face looked stern. “Do you know what happened to him in the end? In less than a few years, because of long-term restriction of mobility, his blood became stale. He contracted a severe disease and died.”

Xia Xiaoxue sighed. “So, there’s only the fatigued cattle, but not the spoilt field.”

Liu Kongcao, the virgin, asked coldly, “What if there is no field?”

Xia Xiaoxue murmured, “Then you have to rely on your skills.”

Grandma said, “Aren’t you wondering why I didn’t save him? And why was he, a Gokudo Path inheritor, imprisoned in a place where one could not see night or day, and forced to interact with women all day?”

Li Xianyu felt a surge of emotion. “Is there some other hidden facts?”

“Before he was imprisoned by the big families, he had married and produced offspring. As long as the lineage of the Li family continued, I could tolerate it. The main reason was that I was disappointed with him.” Grandma sighed as if she remembered the poor helpless great-grandson. In a somewhat ironclad tone, she continued, “He’s talented and intelligent, and he’s skilled as well. However, he prefers to read, and is eager to change his fate with knowledge and save the country. Every day, he debates with a group of literati and evaluates current affairs. He ignored my advice, and did not practice well.

“When the situation was turbulent, both internally and externally, I told him that if he really wanted to save the country, he should have practiced well. We would then kill the enemies on the battlefield.”

“However, he said that the new generation should learn new tactics. But others didn’t think so. The situation was chaotic. In order to strengthen themselves and stand firm in troubled times, the big families had attracted his attention.

“That’s why he became a prisoner.” Grandma shook her head. “Survival of the fittest. This principle applies in both the real world and the world of demon descendants. He has the determination to repay his country, but he does not realise that he’s weak. It’s all talk and no action.”

She stroked her great-grandson’s head gently. “Do you understand?”

Li Xianyu nodded forcefully. “I see. Great-Grandma wants to tell me that studying is useless.”

Great-Grandma mimicked a chopping motion and wanted to chop off her great-grandson’s head at that instant.

After that, Li Xianyu proposed to go see San Wu. As everyone was recovering from their injuries and had nothing to do, so they went with him.

San Wu was placed in an isolated ward and was still unconscious.

“We injected your blood into her and engaged the best specialists to treat her. The wound has actually almost recovered. The reason why she hasn’t woken up yet is probably due to fear of reality.” Thunderbolt Battle Lady looked at Li Xianyu and said, “She probably thought you were already dead.”

She has noticed that San Wu had a far better friendship with Li Xianyu than ordinary people. Perhaps to the girl who was lying in the hospital bed, Li Xianyu was already her friend, which was unbelievable.

San Wu was always unable to blend in with the company’s employees. She was like a ghost floating outside the crowd. However, she had developed a friendship with Li Xianyu, despite not knowing him for long. The friendship was not deep, but still…

Great-Grandma reached out and caressed San Wu’s forehead with her fingertips as she whispered, “I can sense that she’s having a nightmare. She’s experiencing fear, sorrow, anger, and she’s breaking down under the sound of loud screams.”

Li Xianyu also touched San Wu’s forehead. “Why can’t I feel it?”

Thunderbolt Battle Lady replied in a tone of admiration, “Is it spiritual resonance? Elder, your skills are impeccable. It’s worthy of respect.”

“Lass, your tongue is glib. Are you interested in being my grand…?” She looked at Li Xianyu and said, “Don’t worry, there’s no rush. Forget it, forget it.”

“Ever since the incident two years ago, San Wu has become more and more isolated. She realized this and desperately wants to change, but her best efforts only allowed her to maintain her original state,” Thunderbolt Battle Lady said.

“The incident that year?” Li Xianyu recalled what the War God had said and murmured, “What happened then?”
