CHAPTER 310: CHAPTER 310: YE SHAOSAN’S DECLARATION (2)_1

"I really want to know, why do you want to kill me?" Shangguan You sat on a throne made of dirt, looking down from her high position at the murderous figure.

"People from the Ye Family are existences that defy the heavens. Nothing can change that, and the Ye Family will not change for a woman."

"I don’t understand? What do you mean by ’existences that defy the heavens’? What do you mean ’will not change for a woman’? Have I ever changed anyone?" Shangguan You sneered, her tone light as she questioned him.

"A few months ago, you changed my younger brother’s destiny, tightly tying his fate to yours. His life changed from the moment he met you. He is the pride of the Ye Family, and we don’t allow accidents. As long as you disappear, everything will reset. My brother will still be my brother, the Ye Family will still be the Ye Family, and you will disappear from this world forever."

The chilling words of the second youngest of the Ye Family rang in her ears. A few months ago... Was it our first encounter in B City? That hallucination I saw, the time I saved the third youngest of the Ye Family?

"Don’t forget, I saved the third young master of the Ye Family that day. Otherwise, he would have been ashes by now! Not only are you ungrateful, but you also want to kill me. Everyone in the Ye Family must be a pervert."

"If I hadn’t saved him, he wouldn’t have died. That was the path he was meant to take. It was you who changed everything, forcing him to bind his life with yours! It’s all your fault!" The second youngest of the Ye Family burst with rage, his voice shaking dirt from the cave walls.

"Hey, are you even being reasonable? I’m your benefactor, and you respond with ingratitude? Besides, I don’t even know how saving someone can change anything. I was simply being kind. How about I save you once too, to even things out? We could be bound by fate, then we’d be companions, and you wouldn’t have to kill me."

"You’re courting death! You think I want to be like my younger brother? Dream on! People of the Ye Family never associate with anyone, and we will never help anyone!" The second youngest of the Ye Family raged, Spiritual Energy once again surging from his hand towards Shangguan You.

"Pointless talk. You don’t want to be associated with me, but I’m going to make sure the Ye Family is." Shangguan You sneered, not retreating but instead attacking the second youngest of the Ye Family. The two powerful torrents of Spiritual Energy collided with a THUNDERCLAP, and the entire cavern shook violently.

"Water Chains!" Shangguan You uttered softly. Pale blue Water Element quickly entwined around the second youngest of the Ye Family, who was mid-air. With her increased power, the Water Chains were thicker and larger than ever.

The second youngest of the Ye Family was bound in mid-air, spread-eagled. "Inferno Fire, attack!" Shangguan You called out softly. Raging flames took the form of a dragon and rushed towards him. "Ice Seal! Fire roast!" Shangguan You shouted. The second youngest’s body was rapidly encased in ice, while the Fire Dragon coiled below, its great flames fiercely roasting the ice block. Meanwhile, the Water Chains bound his limbs, immobilizing him. CRACK! The ice shattered, and the Fire Dragon continuously charred the second youngest’s body. The smell of burning flesh filled the air, and his dark hair was set ablaze. "Woman, you’ve got guts!" the second youngest of the Ye Family roared, his body erupting with power. With a crisp SNAP, he broke the Water Chains on his hands.

"I’ve always been faint-hearted." Shangguan You stepped back a few paces, watching the roaring figure in mid-air. Seeing his once-thick hair now burnt into patchy holes, her mood inexplicably lifted.

"Woman, you’ll remember this!" The second youngest of the Ye Family roared, waving his hands. The Water Element he wielded cascaded onto the ground with a SPLASH. He even flung the giant Fire Dragon away.

"My memory isn’t great; I might not remember." Shangguan You answered with a faint smile, lifting her hands as the Fire Dragon charged at the second youngest again. These Water Elements are such cowards, always bullying the weak and fearing the strong! They just retreated into my body again. I really want to give them a good thrashing! Damn it! They were scared of the third youngest, and now they’re just as scared of this second youngest. Utterly useless!

"Humph! Disperse!" the second youngest of the Ye Family grunted. The Fire Dragon around him gradually extinguished, its flames dimming.

"Return. Merge!" Shangguan You recalled the Fire Dragon. At her command, the earthen walls on both sides rapidly pressed inward. Countless mounds of dirt converged on the spot where the second youngest of the Ye Family stood, continuously squeezing and trapping his body.

"Break!" the second youngest of the Ye Family commanded lightly. The dirt walls swiftly parted. While he constantly broke through, Shangguan You kept applying pressure effortlessly. The second youngest, however, had to expend powerful Spiritual Energy just to push the surrounding earth aside and avoid being suffocated.

Shangguan You sat on her throne, occasionally nibbling on a Spirit Fruit. Now and then, she would apply an Ice Seal or unleash a blast of fire, ensuring the second youngest thoroughly "enjoyed" this rare experience. She refused to believe he was made of iron and could withstand so many attacks.

Finally, the second youngest’s Spiritual Energy was depleted. He was quickly enveloped by the dirt, his breathing growing weaker. Shangguan You shamelessly approached and delivered a timely palm strike. Seeing his face, a mottled blue and black, her mood became exceedingly good.

"Want me to save you?" Shangguan You toyed with a Golden Needle, gently sliding it over the second youngest’s cold face. She looked at him on the ground, gasping for breath and spewing blood. So arrogant before, weren’t you? Look at you now!

No matter how arrogant you are, you still end up groveling under my—this young lady’s—fist!

"Humph." The second youngest of the Ye Family glared fiercely at Shangguan You, regret welling in his heart. If I hadn’t been so arrogant, if I hadn’t followed her into this earth trap... On open ground, how could she possibly be my opponent? I wouldn’t be suffering like this. For the first time, I, the second youngest of the Ye Family, am being treated this way by a woman!

"When I saved Ye Qiu earlier, you must have recognized the familiar needle technique. If you agree to follow me for a month and tell me about your home, then I’ll let you go. Otherwise, I’ll engrave a turtle on your face." Shangguan You’s lips curled slightly as she spoke, the cold tip of the needle tracing the outline of a turtle on the second youngest of the Ye Family’s face.
