Volume 5, Chapter 17 – Some Past Events of the Bai Family, and the Evil God Young Lady Who Wants to Eat

—

“Miss Bai Nuoyu?”

After hearing the conversation between Bai Chengwu and his companion, the man who had been preparing to package up the blue-haired girl couldn’t help but show a stunned expression, hurriedly stepping forward to look at the photo wall.

“Is this Miss Bai Nuoyu’s home?”

When saying the three words ‘Bai Nuoyu,’ this man in his thirties couldn’t help but flash a gleam in his eyes.

As a member of the Bai family, it was impossible not to know of Bai Nuoyu’s existence.

She was the daughter of the previous generation’s Bai family head. In the hundreds of years since spiritual energy had declined, she was the only genius who could cause the Divine Monument to resonate. She had reached the third tier at age ten, and upon just reaching adulthood had possessed strength approaching the Divine Martial Realm.

Her talent even surpassed that of Old Master Bai.

In everyone’s view, Bai Nuoyu could definitely break through to the Divine Martial Realm, or even advance further to reach the Divine Departure Realm, allowing the Bai family to once again become that supreme power above all others.

Moreover, in the eyes of the vast majority of Bai family members, including the man himself… Bai Nuoyu was the most suitable new generation family head, not her elder brother Bai Bin.

Beautiful, powerful, intelligent, and kind…

As a man who had witnessed Bai Nuoyu’s strength, Bai Xuan instinctively felt worship welling up from the bottom of his heart upon seeing Bai Nuoyu’s photo.

Just thinking that he had the opportunity to enter his idol’s home while executing a mission made the man excited.

“Miss Bai Nuoyu’s home… the place where the young lady lived? Ehehe~… Hmm? Miss Xingwu’s photos? Then… that man holding Miss Xingwu? That would be the young lady’s husband, right?”

Looking at the black-haired man who frequently appeared beside Miss Xingwu in the photos, a trace of curiosity flashed through Bai Xuan’s eyes.

“So the young lady back then gave up her inheritance rights and voluntarily left the Bai family for him? He looks ordinary, not very handsome… I remember, he seems to be called Bai Lianyue… Speaking of which, which branch family was he from?”

Bai Xuan muttered to himself.

“He wasn’t from a branch family either.”

“Huh?”

Hearing this, Bai Xuan was stunned, then looked somewhat bewildered toward Bai Chengwu, who was gazing at the photos and had suddenly spoken.

“Not from a branch family? Then… this person called Bai Lianyue was actually an adopted son?”

“Yes, he was an adopted son.”

Bai Chengwu said coldly.

So-called adopted sons were those who had no blood relation to the Bai family but were granted the surname ‘Bai’ and became family members.

The Bai family had always had this tradition of adopting some abandoned orphans from society who possessed certain martial arts talent, cultivating them into adopted sons loyal to the family. Adopted sons could serve as companions for the direct bloodline’s growth, as servants to protect direct family members, or as expendable dead soldiers ready to be sacrificed at any time.

In short, they were existences with quite lowly status within the Bai family.

And Bai Lianyue was one of the many adopted sons his father had cultivated back then.

After receiving Bai Chengwu’s confirmation, Bai Xuan couldn’t help but clench his fists in amazement.

“I never thought those rumors were actually true?”

At this moment, Bai Xuan recalled some gossip from within the clan.

The beautiful, intelligent, and powerful young lady had fallen for a lowly adopted son and bore a child with him?

Then, for the sake of her love, Bai Nuoyu gave up her inheritance status, taking Bai Xingwu with her and choosing to leave the Bai family together with him.

Bai Chengwu naturally knew what rumors Bai Xuan was referring to, but he didn’t deny them.

“Probably just as you’re thinking.”

With that said, ignoring his subordinate’s extremely surprised expression, Bai Chengwu solemnly focused his gaze on the few photos of Bai Nuoyu.

At this moment, Bai Chengwu’s expression became particularly complex.

After a brief silence, Bai Chengwu said disdainfully:

“An utterly foolish woman…”

As the words left his mouth, Bai Chengwu clenched his fists tightly.

“Grandfather placed such high hopes in you, and this is how you repaid him?”

“For the sake of some trash adopted son, you gave up your inheritance rights and just abandoned Father and Grandfather like that.”

“I really don’t understand what you saw in that monster… what was good about that guy…”

“Clearly possessing talent that everyone envied and coveted… yet you voluntarily gave up cultivation? Gave up the pursuit of martial arts.”

“And in the end?”

“Your trash husband was easily killed by a truck.”

“Even that child Xingwu, didn’t you fail to raise her properly? Possessing such good talent, yet you raised her to commit suicide by jumping off a building? Hehe, truly laughable to the extreme…”

As if recalling something, Bai Chengwu’s expression became increasingly cold, and he clenched his fists while continuing to mutter resentfully.

Clearly, Bai Chengwu still felt quite pained about the Bai family’s consecutive loss of two geniuses.

The surrounding air cooled accordingly, and the two subordinates standing beside Bai Chengwu now dared not say a word, deeply afraid of irritating their superior who was in a bad mood.

However, at this moment, a voice completely unexpected by everyone quietly reached their ears.

——”Xingwu didn’t commit suicide; she was forcibly pushed off the building.”——

“Not suicide but pushed off the building? How can you say that with such certainty… Wait? Who was just speaking?!!”

His pupils suddenly contracting, Bai Chengwu abruptly turned to look behind him, toward the source of the voice.

Not only Bai Chengwu, but the two subordinates as well.

Spiritual power suddenly overflowed from their bodies, directly assuming a defensive posture.

Then, as the scene before them came into view, all three Bai family members showed expressions of bewilderment.

“It’s, it’s you?!! Weren’t you unconscious?!!”

At this moment, the blue-haired girl who had previously been struck in the head by Bai Xuan and should have been unconscious on the ground had somehow already stood up.

She was tilting her head, gazing at them with a completely cold expression.

The gazing was one thing, but…

Bai Chengwu and the other two awkwardly discovered that the various weapons originally worn on their bodies, including the divine sword imbued with ancient martial spiritual energy, the dagger containing curse power, the spirit tablets for summoning ancestral spirits, and others… had somehow appeared in the blue-haired girl’s hands.

Having appeared in the blue-haired girl’s hands was one thing, but…

Rеαԁ οn КαtRеαⅾіnɡСаfе

This blue-haired girl was actually gnawing on these high-tier weapons?!!

Gnawing on weapons was one thing, but…

What the three found most unacceptable was that these supposedly indestructible Bai family high-tier weapons were now being easily chewed up like cookies and swallowed one bite after another.

——”Crunch crunch~”——

The girl’s delighted chewing sounds echoed throughout the room.

“Are, are you kidding me?!!”

Witnessing this scene, seeing the weapons that had accompanied him for many years being eaten like snacks, Bai Chengwu couldn’t accept it and raised his hand to his forehead.

Regarding Bai Chengwu’s reaction, the blue-haired girl—that is, Miss Bai Lianyue—didn’t particularly care.

After relieving some of her hunger by eating the weapons, the evil god young lady frowned and swept her gaze over the three people before her with considerable displeasure.

——”I remember… breaking and entering is illegal behavior on Earth, right? You’d better give me a suitable explanation… otherwise…”——

“Otherwise what?”

Bai Xuan asked warily.

To this, the blue-haired girl’s lips curved up slightly, revealing a particularly charming but ominously threatening smile.

Then, using a voice as beautiful as celestial music, Bai Lianyue directly gave the three men a rather cruel answer.

——”Otherwise, I’ll eat you all up~”——
