Chapter 390: Chapter 359: Longevity is achieved step by step on your own!
"How dare you?!"
In an instant, Yuu Peirong looked fiercely at Elder Nether, who was rubbing his hands with a mischievous grin and walking toward her, and was instantly infuriated.
Beside her, Shi Shaoqiu’s eyelids twitched wildly at the sight and quickly spoke:
"Patriarch Chen, this would be absolutely wrong! She is the third daughter of the current patriarch of the Yuu family, and she has also married into our Stone Race. Her status is noble and cannot be humiliated in such a way!"
"Noble status? That’s exactly why I’m beating her!"
Elder Nether burst into laughter and pounced like a tiger, pressing Yuu Peirong beneath him.
Smack!!!
A resounding slap landed heavily on Yuu Peirong’s face.
The still fairly beautiful face immediately swelled with a bright red palm print.
Yuu Peirong’s head buzzed, completely stunned.
She was born into a prestigious family; her father is the current patriarch of the Yuu family, and one of the top talents of the age who has almost entered the Peak Realm!
From a young age, she was showered with ceaseless affection, treated as an honored guest wherever she went, and faced with flattery and smiles.
Getting what she wanted was her privilege!
This nurtured a domineering personality, arrogant in nature, never taking anyone seriously. Even after marrying into the Stone Race through a complete alliance, she showed no restraint!
Her husband, the legitimate son of the Stone Race, had to greet her every day, and she would scold and reprimand him if he spoke a bit loudly!
She didn’t expect that coming to the Ziwei Chen Family, after merely exchanging a few words, she’d be slapped like this!
"Ah!!!"
Coming to her senses, Yuu Peirong screamed.
"Such an unbearable noise, can your husband tolerate that screech?"
Elder Nether smirked, and with both hands slapping, delivered over ten vigorous slaps on Yuu Peirong’s face.
"Chen Zhixing!!!"
In the blink of an eye, Yuu Peirong’s pretty face swelled like a pig’s head, glaring at Chen Zhixing seated coldly on the stone throne.
Beside her, Shi Shaoqiu saw this and knew it was time for him to step forward, hurriedly advancing and saying:
"Patriarch Chen, as the saying goes, in warfare messengers should not be killed, and we have no enmity between us, why take things to such an extent?"
On the cold stone throne, Chen Zhixing looked down at Shi Shaoqiu and said with a half-smile:
"Did I kill her?"
Shi Shaoqiu’s words halted, then glanced at the screaming Yuu Peirong beside him, and gritted his teeth:
"Patriarch Chen, this is ultimately a Stone Race matter, your interference here seems inappropriate, doesn’t it?"
Chen Zhixing’s voice turned cold at this:
"Stone Race matter? Little One is now my direct disciple, what, I can’t handle my disciple’s affairs?"
Shi Shaoqiu was about to speak.
"Kill them all! Ah ah ah! I want to kill them all!!!"
Yuu Peirong, appearing deranged, was pressed underneath by Elder Nether, frantically clawing at him, and cried out hysterically.
"Shi Shaoqiu! Quickly, send a message back, dispatch the army to destroy this place!!"
"Hehehe, I do enjoy such fiery women."
Elder Nether licked his cracked lips, turned back to look at Chen Zhixing, and said:
"Patriarch, this woman is so noisy, why not let me take her back to her husband for some training?"
"Please."
Chen Zhixing nodded.
In a heartbeat.
Under Yuu Peirong’s terrified gaze, Elder Nether dragged her by the hair just like an eagle clutching a chick, and hauled her out of the hall.
The panic-stricken screams grew quieter with every step, and in just a few strides, Elder Nether dragged Yuu Peirong away from the hall.
Seeing this, Shi Shaoqiu’s face changed dramatically and he wanted to rise and intervene.
Countless eyes fell on him instantly, as if a million-ton stone was pressing down, preventing him from getting up.
"Patriarch Chen!!!"
Shi Shaoqiu gritted his teeth, suppressing the surging anger in his heart as he said, "Patriarch Chen, do you truly wish to be so aggressive and drive us, Stone Race and Yuu Family, to an endless confrontation?"
As his words fell, he looked at Little One beside Chen Zhixing with eyes full of pity, and said:
"Little One, I am your sixth uncle! You won’t recognize those from the Yuu Family, but do you also not recognize me? Do you really want to see bloodshed between your master and our family because of you?"
"Don’t forget, the family still has many people who love you!"
Once these words fell, Little One opened and closed his mouth, showing a look of struggling conflict on his round little face.
In his memory, this sixth uncle was still quite good to him, buying him candy when he was little.
Shi Shaoqiu quickly continued, "Little One, I know you feel wronged, you have the Longevity Bone, your future achievements will be astounding! But... considering the situation now, is there any use in resenting the family? Trust me, come back with Sixth Uncle, the family will compensate you...."
"Sixth Uncle? Family? When Little One’s bone was dug out, where was the family? Where were you as the sixth uncle?"
Chen Zhixing sneered coldly at these words, interrupting Shi Shaoqiu.
Little One is still young and kind-hearted; if he were alone today, he might truly believe Shi Shaoqiu’s lies!
"I..." Shi Shaoqiu paused his words, realizing whatever explanation he offered would be weak and inadequate. He could only sigh despondently.
How did it come to this, how indeed!
"Considering the not-so-bad past you had with my disciple, today I won’t hold this against you. You should return to the Stone Race now and tell that vicious woman that Little One is now my disciple!"
"Chen Zhixing will not be humiliated, and my disciple, even more so!"
When the words fell, Chen Zhixing did not allow further discussion from Shi Shaoqiu, waving his hand and said, "See the guest out!"
Dugu Ni and Chen Daoshan both stood up, coldly blocking Shi Shaoqiu’s path.
Shi Shaoqiu wished to speak once more, but upon seeing Chen Zhixing’s icy demeanor and Little One’s thought-provoking expression, he swallowed his words.
"I don’t need you to drive me out, I will leave myself."
Shi Shaoqiu turned in forlorn resignation and walked towards the exit.
He knew that both the Yuu Family’s and the Patriarch’s plans were destined to truly fall through.
With Little One now leaning against the great tree of the Ziwei Chen Family, the matter of the bone digging could never be brushed aside with a few words as they had hoped.
"Sixth Uncle!"
Suddenly, a childish voice called out.
Shi Shaoqiu paused in his steps, turned sharply, and looked toward Little One with a look of wild joy.
Could it be... has Little One reconsidered and decided to go back with him?
On the cold stone throne, Little One’s small face showed an unprecedented seriousness and determination.
"Sixth Uncle, you tell Shi Li this for me. Longevity is not determined by a piece of bone but achieved step by step through one’s own efforts!"
"One day, I will stand before him and take back what was stolen from me with my own hands!"
Shi Shaoqiu was stunned upon hearing this, then deeply looked at Little One before silently turning to leave.
"A foot of cloth can still be sewn, but two brothers cannot coexist peacefully..."
"My Stone Race could have had two prodigies, yet it has come to this... how did it come to this, how indeed!"
