A fat mosquito buzzed back and forth through the air, its droning hum seeming to foretell something.
"Mom! Why isn't Dad back yet?"
"It's just killing Qin Chen. Is it really that troublesome?"
He Yi lay on the bed, shouting at Li Yuan in dissatisfaction.
Li Yuan glanced at him helplessly and replied irritably, "You think killing someone is like slaughtering a chicken? Something you can just do whenever you want?"
"You think the Law Enforcement Bureau is paid to sit around and eat?"
"Be patient! Maybe your dad has already slaughtered that little brat Qin Chen and is on his way back right now!"
"It'd better be!"
He Yi muttered unhappily.
With every day Qin Chen remained alive, his hatred for him deepened another degree.
Who could understand the pain of being alone late at night, with no solace to be found?
And Qin Chen was the cause of all this!
It was Qin Chen! He had turned him into what he was now!!
Watching her son grow gloomier by the day, a faint glimmer flickered in Li Yuan's eyes, as though she were contemplating something.
After a moment of silence, Li Yuan suddenly spoke.
"Yi'er! I actually have a way to let you have that thing again, but you might have to pay a certain price!"
"What?!!"
He Yi immediately sprang up from the bed in excitement, hurried over to Li Yuan, and gripped her shoulders with both hands.
"Really? Mom, can you really turn me back into a man?"
He Yi's eyes brimmed with excitement.
A trace of hesitation flickered in Li Yuan's eyes as she said uncertainly, "I can indeed turn you into a male!"
"I want it! I want it!"
"No matter how great the price, I'm willing to pay it!!"
He Yi roared excitedly, even bouncing straight up into the air.
The foul mood of the past few days was swept away in an instant.
To him, Li Yuan's news was like being given oxygen when he was on the verge of suffocating, dragging him back from the mire of the abyss.
Caught up in his excitement, He Yi failed to notice that Li Yuan had not said she could turn him back into a man, but into a male!
One word apart, yet the results could often be worlds apart.
Knock, knock!
At that moment, a light knocking sounded at the door.
He Yi immediately turned to look over, seemingly thinking of something. His already excited face became even more animated.
"It must be Dad! Looks like he's already slaughtered Qin Chen!"
"Good news either doesn't come at all, or it comes in pairs!"
He Yi was overjoyed and immediately headed for the door.
But Li Yuan remained where she was, her brows knitting slightly. She had the nagging feeling that something was off.
What exactly was it...?
!!!
Li Yuan suddenly froze. It was as though an electric current flashed through her mind. She abruptly looked up at He Yi, who had already reached the door and grasped the handle, and shouted, "Don't open the door!!"
She finally knew what was wrong.
He Wu would never knock like that.
Whenever he came back, he would slap the door hard with his palm, with an Aura that said he would not stop until he smashed the door apart.
How could he possibly be this "gentle" now?
But it was already too late. Hearing Li Yuan's shout, He Yi instinctively turned his head toward her, even as his hand opened the door.
Then he saw Li Yuan's pupils suddenly contract, as though she had seen something terrifying.
A trace of confusion appeared on He Yi's face. Just as he was about to ask what was wrong, an intense pain and suffocating sensation abruptly surged over him.

A hand, as if cast from iron, clamped tightly around his throat.
With a crack of breaking bone, He Yi could clearly feel the strength draining from his body at an incredible speed. Then his entire body fell toward the ground.
In the final moment before his consciousness faded, he saw a person wrapped head to toe in a Black Robe, wearing a Ferocious Demon Mask!!
The man in the Black Robe was Qin Chen. He casually shut the door, then shot forward, lunging at Li Yuan.
He had never considered himself a broad-minded person.
He had taught He Yi a lesson before, and if the other party had not come looking to cause trouble, he would have let it go.
But the man had actually wanted his life!
Then there was no helping it.
He never liked leaving trouble behind. Since He Wu had already died by his hand—
Then he would naturally send He Yi and his mother down to keep him company.
They were family, after all! How wonderful it was for them to be neat and tidy together!
Just as he had said before:
If one heard the Way in the morning, one could die content in the evening!
He had only found the road to your house in the morning, and by nightfall, he had come to slaughter you!
In the blink of an eye, Qin Chen arrived before Li Yuan. Seven Injuries Fist surged into motion as he smashed his fist viciously toward her.
At that moment, two Fluffy Tails suddenly shot out from behind Li Yuan and lashed toward Qin Chen.
Qin Chen's fist collided head-on with one of the tails. Tremendous force burst from his fist and sent Li Yuan flying.
But Li Yuan's other tail lightly brushed Qin Chen as well. A ferocious demon mask flew away, revealing Qin Chen's handsome face beneath the Black Robe.
"Tail??!!"
Qin Chen's expression froze slightly.
Looking closely, he saw Li Yuan sprawled on the ground, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth.
But Qin Chen paid no attention to that. Instead, his gaze settled on the two tails beneath her.
He could tell that these tails were not some special toys. Rather, they looked as though they had genuinely grown out of Li Yuan's back.
All at once, Qin Chen seemed to think of something, and a strange look appeared on his face.
"Myriad Spirits Holy Hall!"
"You're from the Myriad Spirits Holy Hall?"
The Myriad Spirits Holy Hall was also one of Blue Star's three great Heretic Organizations, an existence on the same level as the Crimson Tide.
Don't be fooled by how righteous and lofty the organization's name sounded.
In truth, its nature was even more vile than the Crimson Tide's.
These people had abandoned their own race, believing that Fierce Beasts were the supreme overlords of this world!
They worshipped the savage bloodline of the beast race.
Their most obvious hallmark was that they fused and modified their own bodies with the bodies of Fierce Beasts.
Through this, they gained abilities related to Fierce Beasts and made themselves stronger.
Yet even after fusing with a Fierce Beast's tail, Li Yuan was still nothing but a little weakling.
What use was Body Tempering Third Layer strength, even with a useless tail fused onto her?
Still, Li Yuan being a member of the Myriad Spirits Holy Hall was good news for him.
That way, his actions had directly risen from Revenge Killing to safeguarding humanity's peace and stability.
The Myriad Spirits Holy Hall's reputation was even worse than the Crimson Tide's.
He had never expected He Wu and Li Yuan, this married couple, to be so criminal.
Each of them belonged to one of the three great Heretic Organizations.
But...
Were the Crimson Tide and the Myriad Spirits Holy Hall in such dire straits now?
That they even recruited random nobodies like He Wu and Li Yuan into their organizations.
Shaking his head, Qin Chen did not dwell further on the matter. He immediately closed in.
He was about to make a contribution to society's peace and stability.
Seeing Qin Chen charge at her, Li Yuan's face changed dramatically. She braced her hands against the ground and kept scrambling backward.
"No! Don't kill me!"
"I can pay any price! I can do anything!!"
As she spoke, Li Yuan immediately reached for the buttons of her clothes...
