Hearing his words, Fu Chen sighed and smiled.

‘It seems my friends are really talented. Should I go around and make more friends?’

He hesitated for a moment but quickly rubbed off those thoughts. It was just a pure stroke of luck. He won’t find the same luck again.

“Hey guys, why are you taking so long? Come on, let’s hurry up!” Suddenly, Fu Chen woke up from his thoughts. He smiled and shook his head.

“Alright, let’s go!”

“Wait!” Chu Yan stood in front of the man and released a stream of flames from his mouth. The flames burned the man and the tree behind it. But, the flame didn’t spread out.

Chu Yan was good at controlling fire, really good. Finally, he turned around and left with Fu Chen.

“By the way, what about that mark on your forehead? Isn’t the mark which shows your betrayal against humanity?” Chu Yan asked.

Fu Chen shook his head and said “I don’t think there are any marks like that. It should be the mark of the organization for which this man works. His black robe was quite a fascinating tool. Oh shit! We forget to take that robe.”

Looking back, he only saw the burnt robe. He sighed with great regret. After all, that robe saved that man twice from his attacks. And, both of them were deadly.

“Anyway, we have to be careful now. It seems we have offended a powerful organization. But, it should be outside the Five Regions.” Chu Yan nodded his head and replied.

“Outside the Five Regions, there are a lot of human settlement areas, especially in the southern part where there is a Royal Capital. Thankfully, we need to head west in order to enter the Western Desert.” Fu Chen nodded his head and answered.

Chu Yan nodded his head and the three of them continued their journey.

………..

Royal Capital, Xue Family

“Xue Le, how dare you blatantly attack Elder Zhang? Don’t you know he is part of the royal family? Even though he is not dead, the Royal Family is asking us for his whereabouts. How are we supposed to know this?” A middle-aged man stood in front of Xue Le and harshly shouted.

He was standing next to the chair on the side. He had quite the appearance just like her but he seemed a little short.

“Father, let it go! Whatever happened has already happened. Now, we need to somehow find a way to calm down matters with Royal Family. Fortunately, that guy is trash. We still can take it easy.” A young man sitting on the throne in the middle spoke.

He was none other than Xue Le’s brother Xue Pun. Hearing his words, Xue Le’s father calmed down but he still glared at Xue Le with anger.

“Dear, don’t be angry with our daughter. She is still young and makes some mistakes like how she fell in love with a commoner. But now that she is back, we can help her correct her mistake, isn’t that correct my son?” A woman sitting next to him spoke.

She was tall and charming. Her face was truly alluring and those blue eyes were enough to melt any man. She was wearing a dress that was barely covering the upper part of her breasts. It was a long one-piece. She was truly seductive.

Hearing his mother’s words, Xue Pun nodded his head but there was a slight disturbance in his eyes. During this time, Xue Le didn’t speak a word. She just silently stood there with her eyes glaring at her father.

She really wanted to kill him. After all, he wasn’t her true father. Her true father was someone else and she didn’t know about him. That’s why this father of hers always tries to suppress and harm her.

If she didn’t have the chance of awakening her bloodline, she would’ve suffered a miserable fate from her stepfather.

“Alright! I will do something about Royal Family. Everyone, go back to your previous job. Xue Le, come with me!” Saying so, Xue Pun left the hall with Xue Le.

At this moment, Xue Le’s mother noticed some strange expression on Xue Pun but she didn’t think too much.

After Xue Le and Xue Pun reached inside a room, Xue Pun bites his lips and slowly kneeled in front of Xue Le.

“You must have a lot of fun time seeing me getting scolded by that bastard, right?” Xue Le walked near Xue Pun and grabbed his hair. If it was before, she wouldn’t have such courage at all.

But now, not only she can do anything she wants with him, but she can also force him to do anything extreme. After all, the fate of his lover is in her hands.

Xue Pun silently bears her action. Xue Le didn’t do anything more. She didn’t like torturing her brother even though she knew her fate would’ve been miserable if she hadn’t done this.

Her fate was truly miserable. She grew up with her mother to become the next hope of her family. Because of her excellent talent, they spare no efforts in raising her.

But, at the end of the day, she had to bear the curse of her family, and become a bitch who needs to give birth to a talented genius. She knew this a long time ago but never got the courage to do anything.

She had already accepted her fate until she found him.

He is a boy who never gives up, no matter how much he has to sacrifice, he will never give up. A boy who has shown her that hard work does matter and if she does everything she can, she might be able to change her fate.

Time was short but the journey was long. In just a few days, he became her obsession. Because without him, she had no meaning of her own. She had become someone who decided to go against her fate just because of him.

And now, she has finally taken the first step. She won’t let her family control her fate.

After a long silence, she looked at Xue Pun and said “Brother, if you wholeheartedly agree to work with me, after I reach Nascent Soul Realm, I will take that imprisonment back.”

Hearing her words, Xue Pun widened his eyes. But, he quickly realized that if he sides with her willingly, then there will be nothing stopping her. At least, for now, she hasn’t made him her slave.

She could make him but she didn’t. Because she realized just how much her brother loves her. For twenty days, without eating or resting, he had been searching her throughout the entire Western Desert.

“If he agrees to your request, would you really remove this imprisonment or never force me to do anything to harm him?” Suddenly, a voice rang from the bed. It was none other than Yao. She was resting because of the extreme torture she had borne after defying Xue Le’s words.

This is what drove Xue Pun to give up and follow Xue Le’s words.

Xue Le looked at Yao and nodded her head.

“Pun, accept her request! Till now, she hasn’t done anything extreme because she hasn’t made you her slave. But, one day, if she succeeds in forcing me, do you think we can ever stop her?”

Saying so, Yao looked at Xue Le and asked “I want you to promise me one thing. If he agrees to your request, you will never interfere in our life after we leave Xue Family.”

When Xue Le heard her words, she was stunned. She looked at her brother and seeing his expression, she was completely stunned. She thought her brother wanted to control the family and control her.

But, in truth, he just wanted to leave the family without harming it. As long as the family doesn’t suffer, he is willing to leave and stay with his love forever.

“Alright! I promise you. If you help me reach Nascent Soul Realm and control the family, I will let you two live together for the rest of your lives.” Xue Le sighed and finally decided to accept her terms.

After all, if her brother really doesn’t want to control the family, then it would be good for her. At this moment, she couldn’t help but stare at Yao. At first, she thought Yao was just some girl who fell in love with her brother.

But, it turns out both of them fell in love with each other. Originally, she planned to enslave her brother but Yao strongly disagreed no matter how much she was tortured.

But, her brother couldn’t see his love getting tortured or even dying, and decided to work for his sister.

Hearing Xue Le’s promise, Xue Pun stayed silent for a while but after a while, he finally replied.

“I will help you reach the Nascent Soul realm and control the family. In return, you must take back that imprisonment and set us free.”

Hearing his words, Xue Le smiled and said “That’s exactly what I planned to do. Now, let’s start our plan. Should we enslave our mother first or that bastard?”
