142: Chapter 142 Blood Soul Appears 142: Chapter 142 Blood Soul Appears “Little brother… where did you get all these things?” Gu Xiaoxiao’s face was pale, and her voice trembled a bit, a very bad feeling rising in her heart.

“Aiya, sis, just don’t worry about it.

I bought this outfit for you.

Oh, and this one here is for Muzi.

We won’t eat at home today, I’ll treat you guys to dinner at a restaurant.”

As Gu Beichen spoke, he set down the gifts he was carrying, completely oblivious to the mist forming in Gu Xiaoxiao’s eyes.

Slap!

Suddenly, a loud slap landed on the young boy’s face, leaving him stunned, only then noticing the tears on Gu Xiaoxiao’s face.

“Sis… you….”

“Tell me, where did these things come from?” Gu Xiaoxiao’s eyes were red as she loudly interrogated the boy.

The boy was truly panicked because, in his memory, his sister seldom hit him, and she had never shed a tear in front of him, even though she had always been struggling to support their family.

But what did he see today?

His sister was crying, a sorrowful cry that deeply disturbed the young boy.

He even forgot the pain on his cheek and anxiously lowered his head, his voice trembling, “Sis, don’t be mad.

These things were given to me by my classmates.”

“Given to you?”

Gu Xiaoxiao was disappointed in him, her voice breaking, “Come on, tell me, why would your classmates give you these expensive things?

Where did you get the money to treat us to dinner?”

“This…

this… this…” Faced with Gu Xiaoxiao’s interrogation, the boy’s face turned blood-red, not knowing how to respond.

“Speak!” Gu Xiaoxiao’s voice choked as she demanded.

“It’s… it’s… I beat up Li Huan and the others… They said from now on I would be their leader… And the other classmates gave me money… calling me ‘Brother Chen’…” Gu Beichen replied, his face flush with embarrassment.

“I’m going to kill you, you beast.”

Before the boy could finish, tears streamed down Gu Xiaoxiao’s face.

She picked up a feather duster and ferociously started hitting the young boy, causing him to cry out, yet he did not dare to dodge.

“How did I teach you?

We may be poor, but we never bully others.

What have you done?” Gu Xiaoxiao furiously beat the boy, yet tears kept rolling down from her eyes.

“Sis, I know I was wrong.” The boy grimaced as he was beaten, but his sister’s crying hurt him even more in his heart.

“Get out, get out, from now on, I have no brother like you.” Gu Xiaoxiao’s eyes reddened, and the feather duster dropped from her hand.

“Sis, I really know I was wrong, don’t send me away.” The boy was truly panicked; he cried out and knelt in front of Gu Xiaoxiao, continuously pleading for his sister’s forgiveness.

“You are not allowed to eat tonight, go kneel in front of our parent’s memorial tablets and repent.” Despite everything, Gu Xiaoxiao couldn’t bear to drive him away.

Yet, his actions were something she simply could not accept.

Amid the boy’s sobbing, he eventually knelt in front of their parents’ memorial tablets to repent, causing Gu Xiaoxiao’s lips to tightly press together as she ran out of the house.

At that moment!

Ye Xuan quietly watched the scene, his deep eyes calm and still.

He slowly walked toward the door, only to see Gu Xiaoxiao crouching in the narrow courtyard, quietly shedding tears.

“You lost!” Ye Xuan said hoarsely.

“Yes, I lost.

Are you happy now?” Gu Xiaoxiao’s eyes were red as she yelled at Ye Xuan.

“Why would I be happy?”

Ye Xuan spoke calmly, walking up to Gu Xiaoxiao, and through her obscured hair, he looked at her and said, “I just want to tell you a principle, the world isn’t as beautiful as you think, human nature is greedy and selfish, what you call kindness is just wishful thinking on your part.”

“You’ve had enough; I don’t want to hear you talk,” Gu Xiaoxiao yelled, covering her ears.

Yet, Ye Xuan’s voice continued to resonate.

“Do you see that?

Because your brother defeated those who bullied him, those people felt scared, they felt fear.

They not only gave your brother money but also treated him as their leader.

That is the law of the jungle, which is the most fundamental thing in this world.”

Listening to Ye Xuan’s theory, Gu Xiaoxiao grimly laughed, her eyes gradually becoming calm before she looked at Ye Xuan and said, “You’re wrong, utterly wrong.

I won’t deny that the world might be as you describe, but if everyone abandons kindness, the order of the world will eventually collapse.

Then, what’s the point of us humans living?”

“It seems you steadfastly believe in your theory,” Ye Xuan said slowly, shaking his head.

“Indeed, I believe it’s because of love that the world flourishes today.

You see these mutant beasts ravaging the globe; aren’t there also many fearless heroes protecting us, allowing us to live well?” asserted Gu Xiaoxiao unwaveringly.

“Fine, I’ll join you and see if the world is as you claim it is,” Ye Xuan nodded slowly, then turned and went back inside the house.

…

At the same time.

The East Sea was stormy, the Heavenly Vault dark and oppressive, and terrifying thunder carved its way through the clouds.

Splash, splash, splash!

Waves crashed against the dock, overturning countless boats.

A streak of blood shimmered in the waves until the tide receded, revealing a sinister Blood Shadow standing before the dock.

It looked at the humans with bloodthirsty eyes radiating extreme cruelty.

“Blood food.

So much blood food.

Eat.

Consume them.

Restore my Supreme Cultivation,” the Blood Shadow roared, abruptly splitting into hundreds of blood lights, grotesquely and brutally pouncing on the crowd on the dock.

“Ahh!”

“What…

what is this thing?”

“Help!”

Fishermen cried out miserably as they frantically ran for their lives, but under the brutal devouring of the Blood Soul, all the fishermen were reduced to dry corpses, seemingly drained of all blood and life force.

Hehehe!

The Blood Shadow reappeared, emitting a sinister laugh.

“Blood food…

not enough…

need more…

much more…”

The aura around the Blood Shadow grew more violent as it stepped toward the distance.

Astonishingly, it headed towards Ye Xuan’s Little River Village, leaving a trail of boundless slaughter in its wake and turning many humans into dry corpses, dead at the hands of the Blood Shadow.

…

Little River Village, the Gu siblings’ home.

Several days had passed, and the young Gu Beichen hadn’t gone to the town’s school, instead, he was reflecting on his actions at home.

During these days, Gu Xiaoxiao and Ye Xuan continued to have a cold war.

At night, the vast starry sky was dotted with stars, and a stream of moonlight spilled down, illuminating Little River Village spotlessly.

“Big sister, I’m hungry.”

Gu Beichen spoke with a mixture of complaint and resignation, causing Gu Xiaoxiao to sigh helplessly as she took the prepared meal out of the kitchen.

Giving Ye Xuan a complicated look, she still called out, “Ye Xuan, come and eat.”

Clearly, although Gu Xiaoxiao was dissatisfied with Ye Xuan’s instigating her brother, the kind-hearted girl still kept him in her thoughts.
