Chapter 445: Chapter 444: Instant Submission
At that mont, Xiong Zhize trembled as he spoke, "So it is the Killing God who has descended upon us. Please forgive our offenses; we were blind not to recognize you!"
Xiong Zhize certainly recognized the Killing God before him, having personally witnessed his terrifying power not long ago at the secret Sect exchange eting.
Ye Fan picked up a nearby cup and said calmly, "Forgive?"
"Forgive my ass!"
He imdiately smashed the cup on the ground in front of Xiong Zhize, who was driven to the brink of despair.
Xiong Mingyan nearly fainted. She was a mber of the Xiong Family, after all, so how could she not know who the Killing God was? He was the King of Heaven himself, who could slaughter his way through heaven and earth. I’m done for, she thought. I’ve caused a disaster and offended the most powerful man in the Divine Land—the Shenzhou Heavenly King, who is also the Killing God of Shenzhou.
Startled by Ye Fan’s imposing aura, Xu Jiayi thought, So his promise to protect
wasn’t just lip service.
The two female attendants at the counter fainted on the spot, unable to accept the reality of the situation.
At this point, Ye Fan said, "I’m not an unreasonable person. Since we’ve run into each other today, let your sister confess her cris."
SLAP!
Xiong Zhize slapped Xiong Mingyan across the face, and she instantly burst into tears.
He scolded loudly, "What in the world did you do? I don’t care if you live or die, but don’t you dare drag the Xiong Family down with you!"
Xiong Mingyan was too scared to speak.
"Speak!"
At Xiong Zhize’s roar, Xiong Mingyan finally recounted the entire incident in detail.
Xiong Zhize was instantly enraged. "You have completely disgraced our Xiong Family!" he shouted. "You’ve made such a grave mistake. You will atone for it with your life!"
He had other relatives; offending the Killing God for this one would be incredibly foolish, not to ntion it would bring disaster upon the entire Xiong Family. He imdiately knew which was more important.
"Brother!" Xiong Mingyan cried, never expecting him to be so resolute.
Xiong Zhize ignored her.
She scrambled to kneel before Ye Fan, pleading, "Please spare my life, Killing God! I’ll never do it again! I swear I’ll never do it again!"
She kowtowed to Ye Fan until her forehead was bleeding.
Ye Fan said, "My words carry no weight here. You should be begging the real victim for rcy."
I never thought I’d see this day, Xu Jiayi mused. The woman who tortured
relentlessly is now kneeling before
like a dog. A deep sense of satisfaction washed over her.
Then, she said, "You tornted
for so long. I should kill you, but I’m not the kind of person who enjoys killing."
"Thank you, Xu Jiayi! Thank you for your magnanimity!" Xiong Mingyan breathed a small sigh of relief.
But Xu Jiayi continued, "When did I say I was letting you go?"
A look of despair flashed across Xiong Mingyan’s eyes.
Xu Jiayi declared, "I want you to crawl out of here on your knees while chanting ’I was wrong’ ten thousand tis. Miss even one, and you die!"
Undoubtedly, when Xu Jiayi got ruthless, she was not like other won. Xiong Mingyan was trapped; she had no other choice.
"Well? Get to it," Ye Fan said.
"Yes!"
Xiong Mingyan hurriedly began to crawl out on her knees. From this day forward, she would be a laughingstock, and chanting ’I was wrong’ over and over was indeed the most fitting punishnt for her.
Then, Ye Fan turned to Xiong Zhize. "A mont ago, weren’t you the one shouting for
to crawl out of here?"
Xiong Zhize felt a suffocating sense of frustration. There was no escape.
He quickly said, "As you command, Killing God."
Just as he was about to get on his knees, Ye Fan spoke again. "Forget it. You’re a family head, so I’ll spare your life. But if you dare to trouble her again, don’t bla
for destroying the Xiong Family! And don’t think the Hidden Sect Alliance can protect you. In my eyes, your alliance is worth nothing!"
After hearing that, Xiong Zhize could only comply respectfully. What a joke. As if he would ever dare to cross him again. Indeed, in the eyes of soone like Ye Fan, the Hidden Sect Alliance was truly nothing.
Xiong Zhize hurriedly started to leave with his people. Before he left, however, he turned to Ye Fan and said, "Killing God, I would like to give the Fenghua Hotel to Miss Xu Jiayi as an apology!"
"I don’t want it!" Xu Jiayi snapped.
"You heard her," Ye Fan said simply.
Mortified, Xiong Zhize scurried away.
"Alright," Ye Fan said to Xu Jiayi. "No one will dare to bother you now."
Xu Jiayi looked at Ye Fan with deep admiration. Only he could make these powerful figures so terrified that they didn’t even dare to resist.
"Let’s go," Ye Fan said, leading her away.
They saw a large crowd of spectators outside, watching as Xiong Mingyan knelt on the ground, crying out, "I was wrong." The onlookers were thrilled. Seeing this malignant tumor get her couppance was truly exhilarating for them, so Ye Fan and Xu Jiayi did not linger.
They arrived at her rented room. It was starkly simple, a testant to the tough life Xu Jiayi must have lived over the years. Soon, she had cooked a few dishes, and the two began to eat. In that mont, Xu Jiayi couldn’t help but see Ye Fan as the closest person in her life.
She picked up a bottle of alcohol and said to him, "Drink with ."
Ye Fan agreed, and they drank a great deal. The alcohol had little effect on him, but it was a different story for Xu Jiayi.
At one point, she asked him, "Can you tell
how my brother died?"
Ye Fan said, "His death is a weight on my conscience."
"Why?" Xu Jiayi pressed.
"Because he died for ," Ye Fan responded. "I owe him my life. If he hadn’t blocked that fatal blow for
back then, I would be the one who is dead."
"So you’re saying my brother was killed because of you!" Xu Jiayi demanded coldly.
At that mont, Ye Fan wanted to deny it, but he didn’t know how. Evading the truth was not an option; he could only face it head-on. Yes, in a way, she’s right. Xu Shitou died because of . If I hadn’t split from the Divine Dragon, Xu Shitou would still be alive.
So, he answered, "Yes."
Xu Jiayi promptly threw her drink in Ye Fan’s face.
Ye Fan felt helpless, but it was the only answer he could give. He had no intention of shirking his responsibility.
"No wonder you were feigning kindness to ! You were just consud by guilt!" she snarled. "It was you! You’re the one who got my brother killed!"
"You’re right," Ye Fan said sadly. "If it weren’t for , your brother wouldn’t have died. So, yes, I caused his death. If you need to vent your hatred, take it all out on ." There was nothing else he could say.
"None of what you’ve done for
matters! Can any of it bring my brother back?" Xu Jiayi sobbed, crying bitterly. Perhaps it would have been best for her to have never known the truth, but now she did. For her, it seed there was nothing left to wish for.
She grabbed the bottle and began to guzzle the alcohol down.
"Stop drinking!" Ye Fan cried, trying to snatch the bottle away.
"Leave
alone!" she yelled, pulling it back.
"Fine! If you’re going to drink, we’ll drink together!" Overwheld with grief, Ye Fan grabbed the bottle and began to drink as well.
When the bottle was nearly empty, Xu Jiayi fell asleep in his arms. She had a high tolerance for alcohol, but she had drunk far too much that night.
Even Ye Fan felt dizzy. It wasn’t that he couldn’t hold his liquor, but that for once, he truly wanted to be drunk. Tonight, he made no effort to use his powers to resist the alcohol’s effects, instead letting it numb him completely.
He laid Xu Jiayi on the bed and was about to leave when she suddenly grabbed his arm. Already staggering, Ye Fan lost his balance and fell toward her.
Then, Xu Jiayi kissed him. Ye Fan had not anticipated such a move, but in that mont, acting on pure instinct, he began to kiss her back. And so, the two drunken souls began to lose themselves in a wild frenzy...
