Chapter 251: She Didn’t Annihilate My Family, Which Shows She Thinks Highly of Me!
“Ancestral Master…”
Hearing this address, everyone present was taken aback.
Even You Jingfeng widened his eyes, feeling as if he had stumbled upon a huge scoop.
The three members of the Li family were trembling like quails in winter, with Lin Ruoxii’s legs turning to jelly as she collapsed onto Li Congxin, despair written all over her face!
Li Xiang couldn’t help but tremble as well, feeling a numbness throughout his body, his vision blurring.
That was a hallucination caused by extreme fear!
They had been fortunate enough to catch a glimpse of the Sage of the Heavenly Fire Sacred Ground once, and that fleeting moment of the Sage’s domineering power had nearly made them kneel.
And now, such a god-like figure was trembling and kneeling before this white-haired sage, which was terrifying to think about.
What was even more terrifying was that just moments ago, they had intended to make this sage’s former disciple a slave for their Li family!
Did they still have a chance to survive?
“Kid, do you still remember me?”
The Ancestral Master looked down at the Sage with a playful smile.
“How could I dare forget the Ancestral Master…”
The Sage responded with a forced smile.
“Truly useless, this cowardly appearance resembles your father!”
The Ancestral Master reminisced. “Back then, your grandfather begged me to marry my goddaughter to your father, but she adamantly refused, saying your father was no hero and unworthy of her.”
“In the end, it was I who personally persuaded her to agree to this marriage. Looking back, my dear said it right; your father is indeed not a good seed!”
Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked. This was a direct insult to their father—who could tolerate such a thing?
But soon they found solace, for even the Sage’s grandfather would kneel before this one; as a grandson, how could he maintain any pride?
Thinking of this, the remaining two Sages of the Sacred Ground also felt their knees weaken, and they simply knelt down together.
“Ancestral Master is right; my father is indeed no hero, and my mother married him at a loss!”
“Alright, get up and don’t embarrass my dear!”
The Ancestral Master glanced at him and said, “I killed one of your family’s Sages today. What do you have to say for it?”
“It was his own doing!”
The Sage answered without hesitation, fearing to slight the person before him.
“Very good, you brat are quite perceptive!”
As soon as these words were spoken, the Ancestral Master’s tone turned icy, making everyone present shudder.
“Since your debts are settled, let’s settle mine!”
Her gaze was piercing, like a golden lamp, as if she could see through the universe.
“You allowed your underlings to attempt to tarnish my little great-grandson. What punishment should be given for that?”
“Thud!”
Upon hearing this, the members of the Li family and the two Sages all knelt down, their heads touching the ground, like a group of livestock waiting to be slaughtered.
As the instigators, their fate was predictable.
“Ancestral Master… I will give you an explanation!”
The Sage raised his aura, glaring at the members of the Li family.
“From now on, the Li family has no reason to exist!”
When these words were spoken, they felt as if struck by lightning, immediately clutching their heads and crying.
“Spare us, spare us!”
“Sage Lord, please show mercy. For these past few years, the Li family has diligently served the Sacred Ground. Although we have no contributions, we have worked hard. You cannot…”
“Shut up!! I haven’t even given you the qualification to plead!”
The Sage scolded, yet there was a hidden meaning in the words.
In the face of the Li family’s faithful dog, he still felt a hint of sympathy, giving them a slender path to survival.
The one who ties the bell must also untie it.
The Sacred Ground had no qualifications to spare them, but others did, such as the gentle-smiling Little Demoness beside them.
Perhaps as they faced life-and-death situations, the blood clots in the minds of the Li family members were cleared, allowing their cleverness to return, and they surprisingly understood the implied meanings!
“Miss Cangyue, we know we were wrong. It was us who failed to recognize greatness. Please, don’t hold our previous actions against us, spare us this time!”
Lin Ruoxii no longer had her arrogant demeanor from before, crawling in front of the Little Demoness, weeping like a distressed woman.
Li Congxin was even more spineless than the spineless.
As the pillar of the Li family, he not only lacked the courage to remain standing but also didn’t wish to sacrifice his meager dignity, choosing instead to remain silent and pale-faced as he watched his wife beg for mercy.
Seeing this scene, the Little Demoness felt her blood boil, wishing she could end them right there.
She never imagined that her towering hero would have such useless parents.
Moments later, the Little Demoness took a long breath, suppressing her murderous intent.
She had countless reasons to destroy the Li family but only one reason to let them go.
That was Zhou Tong!
The Li family was a part of Zhou Tong’s messy past and also his karma. No one other than Zhou Tong could deal with the Li family.
“Death sentences can be avoided, but living offenses cannot escape!”
The Little Demoness forcefully stated, “From now on, the Li family will be servants of the Celestial Master Clan and must obey any decisions made by the Celestial Master Clan. Can you do that?”
Hearing this demand, the faces of the Li family changed slightly.
While surviving was certainly a good thing, this was a bit too humiliating.
After all, the Li family was a respected family in the entire Central Continent. Although their strength was not strong, they would receive respect wherever they went.
Only when facing an extraordinary power like the Sacred Ground would they bow their heads.
In contrast, the Celestial Master Clan had neither connections nor strength, and in the past, they had been their lackeys, having no qualification to join the dining table.
Now asking them to recognize the Celestial Master Clan as their master was akin to asking them to acknowledge a dog as their owner.
“What? You don’t accept it?”
The Celestial Master Clan Head spoke, feeling elated that the family’s wings had finally grown strong!
“This is too humiliating. Can we have a more lenient option? After all, in the past…”
Lin Ruoxii said with a grim expression, trying to argue, but was slapped across the face!
“Practice makes perfect; if you can’t play, don’t play!”
The Clan Head scoffed, “You wretched woman, listen clearly. The past is the past, and the present is the present. Why not go back to when you were born?”
“I only give you two choices: first is death, second is servitude. Choose!”
In fact, there was no real choice. Not long after, the Li family signed the recognition pact, then had their legs broken and were tossed out.
“Sigh, what bad luck. If I had known this would happen, I wouldn’t have come!”
Lin Ruoxii and Li Congxin said dejectedly, yet even so, they didn’t dare to hit or scold Li Xiang, the instigator.
This clearly showed just how pampered this couple had been with their adopted son!
“Father, Mother, I must marry Yue’er as my wife!”
Hearing this, the faces of the Li couple changed drastically!
“Child, are you out of your mind? Keep your voice down; saying this now is taboo!”
“I’m not crazy. I really think I have a chance!”
Li Xiang’s lips curled up, the image of the Little Demoness’s stunning figure draped in a noble and powerful aura, making it impossible for him to let go.
“If she didn’t annihilate my family, it shows she thinks highly of me!”
