CHAPTER 59: CHAPTER 59: TILL WE MEET AGAIN

To serve as slaves for a hundred years?

Everyone froze like statues upon hearing Ye Fei’s words.

Su Mai couldn’t help but exclaim, "What did you just say?"

"I said your Su Family will serve me as slaves for a hundred years, and I might consider giving you the inner core!" Ye Fei enunciated each syllable clearly once more.

"Are you insane? Utterly insane! Do you even know what the Su Family is? We are the premier elite household on Taiwan, a superfamily rich enough to rival nations. We dominate all of Taiwan and wield influence even over the island’s parliamentary elections! And you want the Su Family to serve as slaves for a hundred years? On what basis?"

Su Mai’s voice grew louder and sharper with each word, until her words were practically shouted.

"On the basis that I can destroy your Su Family with barely a flick of my finger!" Ye Fei replied calmly.

"Destroy our Su Family? Do you think just because you have some skills and managed to kill that monster, you can challenge us? You have no idea who you’re provoking, no idea how insurmountable a force you’re standing against!" Su Mai sneered coldly.

Insurmountable force?

In Ye Fei’s eyes, those extraordinary cultivators traversing the Star Domain were insurmountable forces!

Those like the Soul-controlling Demon, who reign supreme across the universe, were insurmountable forces!

Those major sects capable of destroying entire planets were insurmountable forces!

But all these forces were what Ye Fei aimed to surpass and crush underfoot in the future!

The Su Family? To Ye Fei, what were they?

Utterly inconsequential!

Worthless!

And so Ye Fei ignored Su Mai entirely, stepping forward and saying, "If you don’t agree, then forget it! This inner core can just be taken home and fed to a small kitten—it might help raise a decent spiritual beast!"

Feed it to a kitten?

Ye Fei actually planned to use the inner core the Su Family desperately sought to feed a cat?

Upon hearing this, Su Mai couldn’t restrain herself any longer and roared, "Ye Fei! Stop right there!"

"What’s wrong? Changed your mind?" Ye Fei asked with a smile.

"I..."

Su Mai’s eyes burned with fury, but then she unexpectedly chuckled and said, "Yes! I’ve thought it through. The Su Family agrees to serve as slaves for a hundred years in exchange for the inner core!"

What?

Li Xu and Master Sun stared at Su Mai in disbelief, unable to comprehend how she had gone from resolutely against it one second to agreeing the next.

The change was far too drastic!

Ye Fei, however, simply nodded with a smile and said, "Agreed is good! Fifty percent of your Su Family’s annual revenue will be deposited into a designated account—I will come to collect it. Here’s the inner core!"

With that, Ye Fei flicked his hand, and the tiger demon’s inner core landed in Su Mai’s hand.

Su Mai accepted the inner core, overjoyed, and immediately called Li Xu and Master Sun to bring their entourage of bodyguards and leave the base of Lingshan...

"Cousin, did you really promise the Su Family would serve Mr. Ye as slaves for a hundred years? What will you say to Grandpa? Will Grandpa even agree?"

The group hadn’t traveled far when Li Xu couldn’t help but ask curiously.

After all, the Su Family had stood tall in Taiwan for generations, as Su Mai herself had boasted, practically ruling the island!

The thought of such a ruler serving anyone as slaves for a hundred years was unimaginable, even to Li Xu.

But Su Mai suddenly sneered coldly, "Why should I say anything to Grandpa?"

"Not tell Grandpa? Then how will you..."

Li Xu’s words were cut short as Su Mai mocked, "He’s an idiot—cousin, are you one too? What is the Su Family? And what is he? Serve him for a hundred years? My Su Family might agree, but does he dare accept?"

"Besides, now that we’ve acquired the inner core, once Grandpa consumes it, he will fully recover. By then, would the Su Family be afraid of someone like Ye Fei?"

"Let him dare set foot on Taiwan, and I’ll guarantee the Su Family will make sure he dies without a grave to rest in!"

Li Xu was stunned by Su Mai’s words, while Master Sun could only sigh and shake his head bitterly.

Master Sun knew the Su Family’s old patriarch, Su Mai’s grandfather, was a martial arts master and the foundation for the Su Family’s dominance in Taiwan.

But Master Sun also understood that the old patriarch had never reached the level of Innate Martial King.

Yet Ye Fei’s strength was likely among the very pinnacle of Innate Martial Kings.

Su Mai’s actions would only bring endless calamities and troubles upon the Su Family...

On the other side.

After parting ways with Youu Cancan, Ye Fei had already boarded the return car prepared by the Lingshan bigwig, Jia Feng, casually tapping on the glass window and wearing a faint smile.

"The Taiwan Su Family, huh? Heh, I never expected it to turn out to be *that* Su Family. I imagine it won’t be too long before we meet again. When that happens, I’d very much like to see the face of my cold-blooded and ungrateful grandfather!"

Saying this, Ye Fei slowly closed his eyes...

Early the next morning, Ye Fei finally returned to Yuntai.

Upon his return, he immediately locked himself in his room at the Purple Mist Mountain Villa and did not emerge for two weeks.

"Heh, just two weeks in seclusion, and it feels like a lifetime has passed. I can’t even imagine those cultivators on the cultivation planets who often go into seclusion for hundreds or thousands of years—what do they feel like? But this seclusion, at least, resolved one thing weighing heavily on my mind!"

As Ye Fei spoke, he glanced at his arm.

There was now a black tiger tattoo on it, bearing a striking resemblance to the tiger demon Ye Fei had slain with a single stroke at Lingshan.

But this wasn’t some spur-of-the-moment tattoo inked within the past two weeks—it was Heavenly Slash!

This blade, forged by merging the ancient evil weapons Dragon Teeth, Tiger Wings, and Dog God into one, had finally become a true Magic Treasure after Ye Fei infused it with the demon tiger’s Life Soul!

Not only could it automatically protect its owner in times of danger, but it usually resided within Ye Fei’s dantian, being tempered night and day by the flame within his body, deepening the bond between Ye Fei and Heavenly Slash Demon Saber.

The black tiger tattoo was the mark left behind when Heavenly Slash Demon Saber entered Ye Fei’s body!

"Now that the Magic Treasure is complete, I need not fear assassins or formidable enemies coming to my door!"

With this thought, Ye Fei began to walk out of the villa.

After being in seclusion for so long, Ye Fei wanted to take advantage of the fresh morning air for some exercise. And of course, his favorite exercise was none other than calisthenics.

However, as Ye Fei was about to head to the pavilion where he often did his exercises, Guo Wenyuan suddenly appeared before him, bowing with respect as he said, "Mr. Ye, you’ve finally emerged. I’ve been waiting for you since your return!"

"Waiting for me for a long time?"

Ye Fei asked with intrigue, "What do you need from me?"

"Well, it’s like this—do you recall the assets gifted to you by the various bigwigs of Su Province at the United Commerce? You entrusted my Guo Family to manage them for you, correct?" Guo Wenyuan promptly explained.

"I remember. Why?" Ye Fei responded in confusion.

"We took the liberty of investing a portion of those assets in your name to establish a company. Today is its ribbon-cutting ceremony, so I was hoping you could attend and do us the honor of cutting the ribbon for the company!" said Guo Wenyuan respectfully.
