Chapter 225 The Dutiful Son

The arrivals were none other than the two sons of the King of Qi!

Without a word, each grabbing Ye Fan and Liang Rujing with one hand, they left!

The entire process was incredibly swift!

Abruptly kidnapped, Liang Rujing was naturally quite flustered.

But upon catching sight of Ye Fan’s calm demeanor, she felt at ease.

With Ye Fan around, what was there for her to worry about?

Seeing Ye Fan so composed, perhaps he had anticipated such an event long ago!

That’s right, it must be the case!

I just need to quietly watch the show!

Ye Fan stroked his chin, lost in thought.

It was clear he had been kidnapped.

The identities of the captors were unknown, and their motives were also unclear.

But these were secondary.

What was important was…

Why hadn’t the damnable system appeared to intervene?

Had it bugged out and crashed?

If the captors were to kill him now, wouldn’t that mean…

The joy he felt for less than a second quickly turned to realization that things were perhaps too simple.

Based on recent observations, the damnable system should still have plenty of power…

Coupled with the perverse things he had done to those assassins on the way…

It was likely brewing some twisted scheme again…

Under the cloak of night, a bizarre scene unfolded.

Two figures flew through the air, each carrying a person.

A man and a woman, their collars gripped, hung limply in mid-air.

Yet, they showed no sign of being kidnapped, appearing remarkably calm.

The man even stroked his chin, looking as if he were pondering something.

Before long, the brothers returned to the King of Qi's manor, carrying Ye Fan and Liang Rujing.

“Gentlemen, though I don’t know why you’ve brought me here,” Ye Fan said with a chuckle after they landed, “please, I implore you, kill me immediately!”

Ye Fan’s tone and expression were incredibly sincere, and it was truly how he felt.

However, this earned him a look of disbelief, as if he were insane.

“Hmm?” The second son’s gaze suddenly shifted towards Ye Fan’s midsection.

Ye Fan jumped in fright.

Were these brothers planning to make him witness something… unsavory?

As it turned out, he was overthinking things…

Because his belt, which he had been wearing unconsciously, was emitting a faint golden light.

The second son lunged towards Ye Fan’s belt.

Ye Fan, being a mere mortal without cultivation, was powerless to stop him.

What the second son pulled out was a small porcelain bottle emitting a faint golden glow.

He thoughtfully opened the bottle cap and peered inside.

“Wu Yu Dan!”

Upon recognizing its contents, the second son was utterly astonished!

He carefully poured out a single Wu Yu Dan and examined it closely.

The pill lying in his palm was plump and perfectly round, and a rich medicinal fragrance immediately filled the air.

Even more miraculously, the surface of the pill was enshrouded in a faint golden light.

“Judging by its appearance and aroma, it's definitely Wu Yu Dan!” the second son exclaimed with unbridled joy. “And it’s a top-grade one, enshrouded in golden light!”

His master had once told him that the finest Wu Yu Dan would indeed be surrounded by a faint golden aura.

Such superior Wu Yu Dan not only possessed far greater efficacy than ordinary ones but also had absolutely no side effects!

It was guaranteed to be instantly effective for healing.

Furthermore.

Even for those not injured, consuming such top-grade Wu Yu Dan would greatly benefit their cultivation.

Unfortunately, the method for refining such exceptional Wu Yu Dan had long been lost, and his master had only encountered its mention in ancient texts.

“Excellent, Father is saved!” the second son cried excitedly, placing the pill back into the porcelain bottle and pushing open the door to the inner chamber.

The elder son, one in each hand, pushed Ye Fan and Liang Rujing to follow.

Now.

Once Father recovered, he could directly deal with these two and exact his revenge!

“Um…” Ye Fan kindly interjected, “This isn’t some Wu Yu Dan; it’s a hundred percent poison. I wouldn’t recommend giving this to your father.”

Ye Fan was certain he hadn’t put this porcelain bottle in his belt.

Needless to say, it must have been the damnable system’s doing!

[Lazy Host, don’t speak, don’t disrupt my fun!]

Ye Fan’s lips twitched involuntarily…

As expected…

It was indeed this scoundrel who was behind it!

And it seemed like he was intent on continuing down the path of perversion…

The second son ignored him and continued into the room.

Do you take me for a three-year-old?

I’ve seen Wu Yu Dan before!

Are you trying to trick me with such a crude provocation?

Hmph!

Upon reaching the bedside, the second son channeled a thread of true qi into the King of Qi.

The King of Qi slowly opened his eyes.

“Father, your son has found Wu Yu Dan!” the second son declared excitedly. “Open your mouth, and I’ll administer the medicine now.”

The King of Qi’s eyes lit up at the words, and he quickly opened his mouth.

The next moment.

A pill emitting a faint golden glow slid into the King of Qi’s mouth.

Though he was the King of Qi, this was the first time he had ever tasted something as precious as Wu Yu Dan.

The pill dissolved upon contact with his tongue, and a rich medicinal fragrance exploded in his mouth!

This wonderful sensation made every pore of his body feel incredibly blissful!

The medicinal energy slowly descended, converging towards the King of Qi’s dantian.

At first, the King of Qi indeed felt wonderfully comfortable.

As the medicinal energy flowed down, the surrounding bodily tissues were repaired to a certain extent.

But once the energy reached his dantian…

All that bliss instantly turned into a nightmare!

His injured dantian felt as if a size 45 foot were being forced into a size 40 shoe, and that foot was relentlessly churning within!

Pain!

Indescribable agony!

The King of Qi even suspected his dantian had burst!

Under extreme pain, the human body instinctively reacts in certain ways.

Such as trembling, or convulsing, and so on…

But the King of Qi discovered with terror that his body was completely unresponsive; there were no reactions whatsoever!

“Stop it, damn it, I’m in so much pain!”

This was what the King of Qi wanted to shout.

But he couldn’t even open his mouth, let alone utter a sound…

He couldn’t even blink.

The King of Qi could only endure the pain and terror, repeatedly signaling his son with his eyes.

“Father, is it working?” Seeing his father’s eyes shining, the second son exclaimed, “Don’t worry, all these Wu Yu Dan are yours!”

As he spoke, he continued to force more medicine into his father.

Although he also craved these top-grade Wu Yu Dan, as a filial son, such a fortune should naturally be reserved for his father.

Moreover, his master had said that these top-grade Wu Yu Dan also had immense benefits for cultivation.

Given that, they should definitely all be given to Father to consume!

“That’s right, Father,” the elder son chimed in, “Feel free to enjoy them. Your younger brother and I are fine.”

Putting aside all other matters.

On this point alone, the two could undoubtedly be called paragons of filial piety.

Under normal circumstances, the King of Qi would have been overjoyed to hear these words.

His sons were so filial; a father would feel immense pride.

But the problem was, this stuff was practically poison now, it couldn’t be taken!

Before long, the second son had finished feeding his father the entire bottle of Wu Yu Dan.

And their father, the King of Qi.

Had successfully been "loved to death" by their filial piety…

Regardless of the agony the King of Qi had endured, he appeared peaceful on the outside.

Yes…

He departed with dignity…

“Father?”

Realizing something was amiss, the second son hesitantly checked his father’s breathing and pulse.

The results, naturally, were absent.

As if sensing something, the second son quickly channeled another wave of true qi into the King of Qi.

The result came back quickly.

His father, the King of Qi, was dead…

Completely gone…
