Chapter 635: It Really Is Her
Actually, the sixty to seventy thousand spectators only thought Huang Quan was strong because they didn’t know how weak the 97 people he had killed truly were.
Of course, from their perspective, the strength of those 97 people was still considerable.
While everyone was still reeling from Huang Quan’s formidable power, Meng Yinwan, wearing a baseball cap and a mask, shouted a reminder, "Don’t let Kristina and Lin Xin escape!"
"They won’t get away!"
Ye Xiu looked toward Kristina and Lin Xin, who had reached the edge of the mountain peak and were about to leap off to flee.
He snorted coldly, and suddenly, Kristina and Lin Xin were pulled back toward him. This terrified them, and they began to tremble violently. The thought of their impending deaths intensified their fear.
I am the Crown Prince of the Eternal Kingdom! I should have stayed in the Eternal Islands to fight for the throne instead of foolishly coming to Nanjing to die! Lin Xin thought.
Kristina, on the other hand, was utterly terrified. Huang Quan already killed me once when he slew Yue Longxuan and the others. Now that he sees I’m not dead, he’ll surely guess that I have the Life Totem. If he chops me to pieces, I’ll be dead for good!
"Kneel and call me ’daddy,’ and I’ll spare your life!" Ye Xiu said, his cold gaze fixed on Lin Xin. His voice boomed like a great bell, and all the onlookers heard it clearly.
This statement instantly ignited the crowd’s emotions, causing an uproar!
That’s Huang Quan for you!
He actually dared to make the Crown Prince of the Eternal Kingdom kneel and call him daddy.
So arrogant! So cool!
"Daddy!"
Without a moment’s hesitation, Lin Xin knelt and called out. Although he was a Martial Artist and an Extraordinary Abilities Holder, he was also the Crown Prince of the Eternal Kingdom—a politician. He was well aware of the principle that where there’s life, there’s hope. If he died now, everything would be lost. As long as he lived, he would have another chance to kill Huang Quan and reclaim his dignity.
"Louder, so everyone can hear you!" Ye Xiu commanded coldly.
Though Lin Xin gritted his teeth in rage, he still shouted, "Daddy!"
BANG!
Ye Xiu slammed his palm onto the top of Lin Xin’s head.
Lin Xin immediately coughed up a mouthful of blood and collapsed. In his final moments, he was bewildered. I already called him daddy... why did Huang Quan still kill me? But it no longer mattered. All he felt was overwhelming regret for ever coming to Nanjing to provoke Huang Quan.
Kristina and the tens of thousands of spectating Martial Artists all gasped, shocked once again by Huang Quan’s ruthlessness. They had thought that Huang Quan would spare Lin Xin’s life after he knelt and called him ’daddy.’
But in the end, Huang Quan was still Huang Quan. As expected, he left none of his enemies alive.
"Your turn!" Ye Xiu looked at Kristina and asked, feigning ignorance, "I seem to remember killing you along with Yue Longxuan. Why aren’t you dead?"
He deliberately pretended not to know about her Life Totem.
"It’s not so easy for someone like you to kill me," Kristina said, forcing the words out past her fear. Her face was pale and her body trembled uncontrollably.
"Is that so? Then I’ll just have to kill you again!"
Ye Xiu casually used Attraction to pull a sword into his hand and plunged it through Kristina’s heart. He yanked the blade out and kicked her to the ground. As Kristina lay dying, she breathed a huge sigh of relief. It seems Huang Quan didn’t suspect I have a Life Totem. I’m safe again.
When the tens of thousands of spectators saw Huang Quan kill Kristina as well, a wave of panic washed over them. Kristina was the little princess of the Golden Family. Now that she was dead, what if the three great Judicator Families stormed into Nanjing in a rage? Wouldn’t they be the ones to suffer?
"Everyone, there’s no need to panic. If the Judicator Families come, I will face them myself," Ye Xiu declared loudly.
Upon hearing this, the tens of thousands of Martial Artists in the crowd felt their panic subside for reasons they couldn’t explain.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you may all leave now. I don’t care what trouble you cause during your time in Nanjing, but if anyone bullies or humiliates ordinary people, don’t blame me for being merciless!" Ye Xiu proclaimed.
"We obey!" the crowd cried in unison.
Ye Xiu nodded, then his body blurred into a black afterimage, leaving in the same dramatic fashion he had arrived and sparking another round of cheers from the crowd.
About half an hour after the audience dispersed, Kristina revived once again. She discovered that the bodies of Lin Xin and the others had vanished, leaving her all alone on the summit of Unparalleled Mountain.
I can’t let Huang Quan see me again, or I’m dead for sure! He’s already killed me twice. If he sees me alive a third time, he’ll definitely realize I have a Life Totem!
She tore off a piece of her clothing to use as a makeshift mask and hurried toward the city. She had to find a place to hide before the reinforcements from the Eternal Kingdom arrived.
At the same time, she called her father, Tu La, to inform him of the deaths of Lin Xin and Mei Siying. When explaining Mei Siying’s death, however, she lied, claiming that Huang Quan had conspired with the Restorer Alliance to ambush her. This lie caused Tu La to once again erroneously underestimate Ye Xiu’s true strength.
...
An Dongye, Tang Bo, and Dong Fangbai arrived at the Wu Family estate. They found Ye Xiu sitting cross-legged on the backyard lawn, playing with eighteen pagoda-shaped toys that had been 3D-printed.
"Buddy, how old are you? Still playing with toys like a kid?" An Dongye walked over and teased, his voice filled with excitement. "It’s a real shame you didn’t go to the battle at Unparalleled Mountain. You missed the chance to see how powerful Huang Quan is! He was so cool! That’s a real man, a true warrior."
"I’ve only ever admired two people in my life: one is you, Big Brother, and the other is Huang Quan," Tang Bo added. "But don’t get me wrong, Big Brother—you’re still a step behind him. Huang Quan is definitely stronger and more outstanding." His words were still tinged with the thrill of having seen Huang Quan in action.
"Even though this was my second time seeing Huang Quan, I was still overwhelmed by his presence. He is the one true Pressure King," Dong Fangbai remarked with a sigh, his gaze averted in admiration.
Ye Xiu listened quietly as the three of them praised him. I wonder how embarrassed they’ll be when they find out I’m Huang Quan and remember what they said today.
Just then, his phone rang. It was Gong Jin.
"Young Master, Ye Lin’er has arrived at Nanjing Airport. She’s on her way to Wanjin Mountain!"
Ye Xiu was taken aback. "What is Ling’er doing in Nanjing?"
"The reality show she’s participating in is called ’I Got Lost in the Mountains.’ The production team chose Nanjing as the filming location," Gong Jin explained.
Ye Xiu furrowed his brow. Right now, Nanjing was the most chaotic place in the world, swarming with all sorts of people. For the crew to come to Nanjing to film a reality show at this time is just asking for trouble!
"How long will the crew be in Nanjing?" he asked.
"Seven days, not including today," Gong Jin answered.
Since it was only for seven days, there was no need to pull strings to get rid of them. This was Ling’er’s first step into the entertainment world, and it had to go smoothly.
"Did the crew bring a staff doctor?" he inquired.
"No!"
Getting injured while filming a reality show in the mountains is inevitable, yet they didn’t bring a staff doctor. How foolish.
"Send me the production team’s file," he ordered.
"Right away!"
After hanging up, Ye Xiu received the file from Gong Jin. As he looked through the photos of the celebrities participating in the reality show, a picture of one girl caught his eye.
This girl... she looks so much like the one who sneaked into my bed in the middle of the night ten years ago.
He looked at the name again: Li Ran!
I’ll be damned. It really is her!
