"Break my legs? Heh... fine! Come on, then! You, the mighty Zhenbei King, whose Divine Might covers the world—I'm just a cripple with a shattered dantian. Of course I can't beat you!"
Xiao Chen sneered, his gaze sweeping over Xiao Zhentian and the other two, a flicker of mockery flashing through his eyes.
Xiao Zhentian truly cut an imposing figure!
He had merely spoken a few truths, and Xiao Zhentian wanted to break his legs?
He could not endure even the slightest grievance!
How laughable. To save an ungrateful younger brother, Xiao Chen had shattered his dantian and been discarded in a savage little city for so many years, yet he had never once resented them.
After being brought back, he had instead been wildly excited, trying to please the three of them at every turn, hoping they might bestow upon him even the tiniest scrap of pitiful familial affection.
Yet.
All his efforts and sacrifices had meant less than nothing in this family's eyes.
Even.
The younger brother whose life he had risked everything to save wanted to steal his most beloved fiancée!
It was simply tragic!
At this moment.
The original owner's emotions erupted completely.
Xiao Chen felt it as though it were his own, an overwhelming sorrow that tore at his heart welling up inside him.
He had regarded this family as his closest blood kin.
Yet this family regarded him as a lowly ant.
They trampled over him at will!
What fucking justice was there left in this world?
However.
That emotion vanished in a flash.
Very soon.
Xiao Chen's gaze turned icy once more.
After all, he was only a transmigrator. Though he had fused with the former owner's memories, he did not have much emotion toward them.
He could simply cast them aside.
He had been reborn—who the fuck would still play the part of some long-suffering filial son and worthy descendant?
He was not like the former owner, foolishly filial to the extreme, treating family affection as more important than his own life!
Seeing Xiao Chen act so out of character and actually put up such fierce resistance.
Xiao Lingtian could no longer stand it. He lifted his chin, arrogance written all over his face. "Xiao Chen, what kind of attitude is this? How dare you be so disrespectful to Father? Has Father not treated you well enough?"
"You're a useless cripple. If Father had not supported you, you would have starved to death in this chaotic world long ago. And you still aren't satisfied?"
His eyes were filled with nothing but disdain and disgust.
He had not expected Xiao Chen, a cripple, to be so arrogant that he even dared to talk back to Xiao Zhentian.
Did this trash not know.
In such a chaotic age.
How many people died every day in demonic calamities?
He did not need to do anything.
Simply being able to enjoy peace in Zhenbei King Manor was already an immense blessing!
Yet Xiao Chen still had the nerve to complain!
What right did this trash have?
"Hahaha... trash? Fine! What a fine 'trash'!"
Upon hearing that, Xiao Chen suddenly threw back his head and laughed wildly.
As he laughed, his eyes gradually turned crimson, and even his handsome face became somewhat twisted.
That sudden laughter.
Left everyone around him stunned.
Laugh?
At a time like this, this trash still had the face to laugh?
"Trash, what are you laughing at? Was I wrong?"
Xiao Lingtian frowned as he asked.
A trace of bitter desolation flashed through Xiao Chen's eyes. He suddenly turned his head and stared straight at Xiao Lingtian, speaking word by word. "You're right! I was the one who was cheap and stupid. If I hadn't saved an animal like you, I would still be that Born King Physique who stood above the masses. I would still be enjoying endless supreme glory!"
"I was truly stupid, treating a heartless, wolf-hearted beast like you as my brother. I gave up my peerless talent to save your dog life, but what did I get in return?"
"Abandoned by my parents, insulted by my younger brother?"
"I really am an idiot! The greatest idiot in the whole world!"
The moment those words fell.
The expressions of many servants present changed drastically, and complicated emotions flashed through their eyes.
That was right!
If Xiao Chen had not saved Xiao Lingtian, then with his Born King Physique, he would undoubtedly be a peerless Heavenly Prodigy Rank now, admired by tens of thousands. How could he have suffered such humiliation?
Though Xiao Lingtian possessed Top-Grade Heavenly Talent, in the end, he was still far, far too weak before a Born King Physique!
A King Physique was simply too terrifying.
Crushing a Heaven Tier talent was as easy as crushing an ant.
Xiao Zhentian's expression darkened as well, while Wen Wanrong had not expected Xiao Chen to speak such heart-piercing words.
As for Xiao Lingtian, the one involved, his face turned green with rage as he clenched his fists tightly.
"Impudent! You dare call your younger brother an animal? Are you trying to turn brother against brother?"
Noticing Xiao Lingtian's expression, Xiao Zhentian's heart ached. His face darkened as he rebuked him.
After Xiao Chen became a cripple.
Xiao Lingtian had become his only hope.
Ever since Xiao Lingtian was young, he had doted on him and protected him with the utmost care.
How could he bear to see Xiao Lingtian suffer such grievance!
"Brother against brother? Xiao Zhentian, are you blind? Which eye of yours saw this little beast treating me as a brother? I saved his life, yet not only was he ungrateful, he humiliated me at every turn. When he called me trash, I didn't see you say a single word!"
"I only said a few things about him, and your heart already aches for him? Oh! This little beast's life really is precious as gold!"
Xiao Chen sneered.
"Xiao Chen, you trash, how dare you speak of me like that? Kneel and apologize to me at once!"
Just as Xiao Zhentian was about to fly into a rage, Xiao Lingtian beside him could no longer endure it. A terrifying killing intent locked firmly onto Xiao Chen.
Seeing the icy killing intent surging in Xiao Lingtian's eyes, Xiao Chen could not help laughing aloud.
Kneel and admit his mistake?
He had saved this little beast's life, and this little beast had never even kowtowed to him once.
Now, after he had merely spoken a few honest words, this little beast wanted him to kneel and apologize?
Where did this little beast get the nerve?
Looking at these blood relatives before him, all bristling with drawn swords and bent bows against him.
Xiao Chen only felt that he was truly unlucky.
Even if he had been adopted, he should not have been treated like this, right?
His parents despised him.
His younger brother looked down on him.
Even the servants did not treat him as a person!
The younger brother whose life he had saved at the cost of his shattered dantian now wanted him to kneel and apologize!
Apologize my fucking ass!
"Heh..."
"Xiao Lingtian, what kind of fucking thing are you, that you think you deserve to make me kneel?"
"If I hadn't saved you back then, the grass on your grave would already be three meters high!"
"Apologize? I'll apologize to your mother!"
Xiao Chen said coldly.
Xiao Lingtian's breathing immediately hitched.
He had not expected Xiao Chen to be so sharp-tongued.
Was this still that timid, submissive trash from before?
It was true that Xiao Chen had saved him back then, but as his older brother, was that not simply what he should have done?
Why was this trash now holding that favor over his head?
Besides, that had happened three years ago. Was there really any need to keep bringing it up?
Seeing Xiao Lingtian's stifled expression, Xiao Chen continued, "You're nothing but a useless parasite, yet you dare laugh at me?"
"In terms of talent, I have a Born King Physique, while you only have Top-Grade Heavenly Talent."
"If you had not been lucky, if Xiao Zhentian had not favored you and given you every heavenly treasure and earthly herb, would you have your current cultivation?"
"You don't seriously think you're that impressive, do you?"
Xiao Chen mercilessly stabbed straight into Xiao Lingtian's sore spot, shattering his pride to pieces.
"You..."
Xiao Lingtian gritted his teeth, so furious that his chest heaved violently.
"Chen'er, how can you speak to your younger brother like that?"
"Your father and I have indeed wronged you over the years. As long as you agree to break off your engagement with Ye Qingxuan and fulfill her and Lingtian's wishes, Mother promises you that from now on, whatever you want, Mother will certainly compensate you properly."
Unable to watch any longer, Wen Wanrong tried to persuade him gently.
She was, after all, a mother.
Both brothers were flesh of her palm and the back of her hand.
Though she favored her younger son, she still held her elder son in her heart.
"What? Break off the engagement?! Wen Wanrong, you know full well that I've liked Ye Qingxuan for many years, that day and night I've wanted to marry her, and now you're telling me to break off the engagement to fulfill this little beast?"
Xiao Chen was utterly dumbfounded.
Was that something a mother could fucking say?
