Ordered to Become a Live-in Son-in-Law

Ordered to Become a Live-in Son-in-Law

But such brutally savage methods of killing, such an utterly horrifying death, were simply too much for him to bear.

He broke down instantly!

After all, he was only six or seven years old.

Sigh!

Not every child was called Zi Xia.

Not every child was a freak.

Watching Kong Qi, Ye Han truly empathized with him.

He sighed. "Sigh! Poor kid, he'll probably be traumatized for life!"

Clap, clap, clap!

A round of applause rang out.

"There are people here?"

Ye Han was startled, instantly gripping his dagger.

It had to be said that humans were the most adaptable creatures. In just a few days, Ye Han had not only accepted killing, but had also developed a certain instinct for combat.

Although he was still utterly useless in a fight, his growth had been obvious.

Zi Xia also looked wary. She had not expected other people to be hiding here.

As the applause continued, three people dressed in black, wearing cloaks and silver masks, slowly emerged.

Though all three wore silver masks, each was different.

The one on the left wore a Bear Mask.

The one on the left wore an Eagle Mask.

The one in the middle wore a Tiger Mask.

The black-clad man in the Tiger Mask said, "Congratulations on surviving!"

Zi Xia, Ye Han, and Kong Qi all understood that these were the people who had captured them and brought them here.

Ye Han was relatively calm, since he had transmigrated here. But Zi Xia and Kong Qi looked at the three men with extremely complicated expressions.

Hatred?

They had been safely at home, only to be captured and forced to fight others to the death. It was no longer something that could be described by the single word "hate."

If they could, they truly wanted to flay these three men alive.

Fear?

Of course they were afraid. Before these three men, they were completely outmatched. No matter how much hatred they harbored, they could only bury it in their hearts.

The black-clad man in the Bear Mask clicked his tongue. "What wonderful expressions. I like them! But let me advise you: before you possess the strength to kill me, it would be best not to show that kind of expression. Otherwise, you'll die."

Zi Xia and Kong Qi's expressions changed drastically once more.

The black-clad man in the Tiger Mask apparently had no desire to waste words. He pointed directly at Ye Han. "You're not bad. Come with me!"

Moreover, the Tiger Mask's status was likely the highest among the three. The Bear Mask had clearly wanted to say something, but the moment the Tiger Mask spoke, he immediately fell silent.

They got straight to the point!

The black-clad man in the Eagle Mask pointed at Zi Xia. "This freakish little girl will come with me!"

The black-clad man in the Bear Mask naturally had no choice left. He said to Kong Qi, "Then you'll follow me!"

Zi Xia and Ye Han exchanged a glance.

Then, as instructed, they each walked over to stand beside the Tiger Mask and Eagle Mask.

Neither of them said a word, because they both understood that they had no right to object, nor did they possess the strength to resist.

Obedience was their only choice.

Kong Qi was a step slower, but he immediately went to stand beside the Bear Mask as well.

The Tiger Mask, Eagle Mask, and Bear Mask nodded to one another. Then they led Ye Han, Zi Xia, and Kong Qi away in three separate directions.

Ye Han turned his head and looked at Zi Xia once more.

To be honest, Zi Xia was the first person he had met after arriving in this world, so he felt something different toward her. Though this little girl truly was a complete freak.

Ye Han muttered inwardly, Little girl, sooner or later, your uncle will find you! Just wait until I spank your butt!

At the same time, his gaze fell upon Zi Xia's injured arm. Her sleeve was already torn, and amid the grime, Ye Han vaguely saw the tattoo of a long spear.

At that moment, Zi Xia also glanced at Ye Han and noticed that he was looking at her.

She froze for a moment, then stuck out her little tongue and licked her lips. "Hehe."

Ye Han: "..."

Before long, the three groups vanished from one another's sight.

Three days later, Ye Han was taken out of the forest and brought to a small village.

The Tiger Mask said, "Your name is Ye Han. You are a member of the Yunjiu Clan in the Qi Territory of the Star Luo Empire. Your clan has more than three hundred members, including your two brothers, one younger sister, and your parents."

Ye Han rolled his eyes. "I understand. If I behave, they'll be fine. If I don't, they'll die!"

The face beneath the Tiger Mask revealed a faint smile. "Very good. I like smart people, because speaking with smart people saves a great deal of nonsense."

"However, I still need to reassure you of one thing. Our master is a person who clearly distinguishes rewards from punishments. As long as you complete the task we give you, not only will your family remain safe, but you will also gain great status and power."

After saying that, he pointed at the village ahead. "This village is called Gourd Village. Everyone in the village possesses a Gourd Martial Soul. But unlike your Yunjiu Clan, these Gourd Martial Souls are all useless martial souls."

Hearing this, Ye Han narrowed his eyes. "That's why you captured me!"

The Tiger Mask replied, "That's right! Because your mutated Wine Gourd is green, which happens to match the characteristics of the martial souls here."

At this point, the Tiger Mask seemed to recall something and paused.

Only then did he continue, "Even among pheasants, a phoenix may emerge. This village once produced a genius as well. His surname was Taishi, and his given name was Xing!"

"And your next identity will be Taishi Ming, the younger brother of Taishi Xing, who is a full ten years older than you."

Ye Han said, "That's it? What use is such little information? If I'm supposed to pretend to be someone, I at least need to understand his habits, personality, and some matters concerning this village! At the very least, I need to know about his family!"

At the same time, another question arose in his heart. If he had died in the forest, who would have played Taishi Ming?

He could not understand it!

The Tiger Mask said, "No need!"

Ye Han looked utterly confused. How was he supposed to pretend to be someone when he knew nothing?

"You only need to remember that your brother is called Taishi Xing, and you are called Taishi Ming. Nothing else matters. Before long, a teenage girl will come looking for you. When she does, go with her. You will become the live-in son-in-law of her household. Your task is to truthfully report everything about her household. You must also earn their trust and become someone of great importance within the estate."

Ye Han was instantly dumbfounded. "So I'm being made into a live-in son-in-law? And an undercover live-in son-in-law at that!"

The Tiger Mask added, "Of course, if you secretly take control of that force, then you will have completed the task beyond expectations. When that time comes, the reward you receive will absolutely exceed your imagination."

Ye Han asked, "The force you mentioned—the girl is...?"

The Tiger Mask said, "You don't need to know. Knowing would only make you give yourself away. All right, that's it!"

Ye Han's face darkened. What the hell was this supposed to mean?!

That was basically telling him nothing at all! What did he mean, that's it?

Before Ye Han could finish complaining inwardly, he felt a sharp pain in his head and lost consciousness.

Half a day later, a woman with a bewitching figure but still a trace of youthful innocence on her face swayed her way toward the village where Ye Han was staying.
