Black Tiger Dagger? I'm Actually Dai Hao's Illegitimate Son?! (Please Follow and Bookmark-Following Is Very Important, Thanks)

On the western frontier of the Star Luo Empire.

The setting sun was like blood, shrouding an unknown little mountain village.

A young woman who looked to be in her twenties stood before the door, her gaze fixed outside the courtyard, her expression both uneasy and expectant.

"Mother, why are you looking out here again?" A somewhat childish voice came from behind her.

The woman turned around and saw a boy slowly approaching.

He was still very young, only six or seven at most.

His jet-black hair was casually tied behind his head, his eyes clear and bright, his bearing cold and stern.

"Linyuan, in another two days, we'll be able to go back." The woman's voice carried unconcealable excitement and anticipation.

Ye Linyuan frowned and asked doubtfully, "Mother, what's been going on with you these past few days? Why do you keep saying such strange things?"

The woman looked at her son, pride and joy appearing on her face.

She took Ye Linyuan back to the table and sat down with him, saying softly, "Linyuan, haven't you always wanted to know who your father is?"

"I've hidden it from you for six years. It's time to tell you now."

A glimmer flashed through Ye Linyuan's eyes as a hint of curiosity surfaced.

Since childhood, he had never once seen his father.

Nor did he know that man's name or identity.

Of course, he did not care.

He was not some childish boy starved of affection.

Six years ago, he had transmigrated to Douluo Continent after a car accident, reborn in the body of this boy who shared his name.

Though Ye Linyuan was only six years old in this life.

Within this young body resided a mature soul that had lived through two lifetimes and was already thirty years old!

Yes, Ye Linyuan was a transmigrator.

Naturally, he had never told anyone this secret.

Not even Ye Youlan, his mother in this life, knew.

"Linyuan, I know you resent your father. You even changed your surname to Ye, the same as mine."

"But if you knew his identity, you would definitely be proud of him!"

A worshipful expression appeared on Ye Youlan's face. "Your father's surname is Dai. His name is Dai Hao."

"As for his identity, everyone in our Star Luo Empire knows it. He is a hero admired by all!"

Upon hearing the name "Dai Hao," Ye Linyuan froze, his mouth falling open on its own.

"Dai Hao? The White Tiger Duke... Dai Hao?!"

Seeing her son's shocked expression, Ye Youlan smiled and nodded. "That's right!"

"He is the White Tiger Duke of our Star Luo Empire, Dai Hao!"

Ye Youlan said softly, "Six years ago, I was your father's personal maid."

"After that night... I had you."

"Your father was busy with official duties and had long been leading troops at the border. He had not returned for a long time."

"The Duchess said my status was somewhat sensitive, and that staying in Star Luo City might damage your father's reputation."

"So the Duchess sent me here."

"She promised me then that if you inherited the Dai Family's Evil Eye White Tiger martial soul, she would bring us back to the duke's mansion and acknowledge our ancestry."

At this point, Ye Youlan paused, her expression excited. "Linyuan, although your martial soul mutated, you possess the supreme talent of Twin Martial Souls among soul masters, along with Innate Full Soul Power!"

"With such rare talent, the duke's mansion will definitely acknowledge you!"

"Your father and I have not seen each other for years. At last, we can finally reunite!"

Hearing this, Ye Linyuan suddenly came to his senses.

He stood up and grabbed his mother's hand anxiously. "Mother, did you tell the White Tiger Duke's Mansion about my martial soul awakening?"

"Have you been waiting for the White Tiger Duke's Mansion these past few days?"

Ye Youlan smiled and nodded. "Yes. Three days ago, after your martial soul awakened, I wrote a letter to the White Tiger Duke's Mansion."

Ye Linyuan's expression changed drastically.

His mother was simple-minded. She had no idea how depraved human malice could become.

And there were some things Ye Youlan simply did not know.

For instance, Huo Yuhao, and the fate of Huo Yuhao's mother!

He had originally assumed that his father, who had never appeared, was merely some lecherous young minor noble.

He had never expected him to be that White Tiger Duke who only knew how to do the deed and never dealt with the aftermath!

No wonder Huo Yuhao and his mother had ended up like that.

So that heartless bastard who pulled out his weapon and abandoned them had not been doing it for the first time!

Bring the two of them back to the duke's mansion?

How could that be possible!

With his supreme talent of Twin Martial Souls and Innate Full Soul Power, once the Duchess learned of it, she would likely have only one reaction:

Kill him!

Eliminate future trouble!

Otherwise, if he were allowed to grow up, would the status of her two sons not be in grave danger?

Ye Linyuan was both furious and anxious. "Mother, why didn't you tell me sooner?"

"Quick, we have to leave! We can't stay here!"

Ye Youlan looked at her son, whose expression had abruptly changed, and asked in confusion, "Linyuan, what's wrong?"

"With your talent, the duke's mansion will certainly value you. Why should we leave?"

"With the duke's mansion helping us, perhaps you could even enter Shrek, the continent's number one academy."

Ye Linyuan had already run into the room. As he packed his belongings, he explained quickly, "Mother, you're too naive!"

"If I had no blood connection to the White Tiger Duke, the Duchess might even try her best to win me over."

"But I'm Dai Hao's illegitimate son!"

"She is Dai Hao's lawful wife, and her two sons were born with the right to inherit the dukedom."

"If I were useless, she might not fear me too much."

"But if she learned that I possessed the supreme soul master talent of Twin Martial Souls, how could she possibly accept us?"

"To ensure that her two sons' positions remain unthreatened, she would only kill us to eliminate future trouble!"

Ye Youlan froze, seemingly unable to believe it. "Linyuan, I know you've been clever and mature since you were young, but... but aren't you taking this too far?"

"You are still the White Tiger Duke's bloodline. Would she dare harm you without permission?"

As she spoke, Ye Youlan took out a black dagger, trying to persuade Ye Linyuan. "Though I was only a maid, your father treated me very well."

"Look, this is the Black Tiger Dagger your father gave me back then."

"My status is lowly. I never intended to compete with the Duchess for anything, and I made that clear to her long ago."

"Since that was the case, why would she risk angering your father by laying hands on the two of us?"

Ye Linyuan looked at the dagger in his mother's hand, his face full of disbelief.

Black Tiger Dagger... White Tiger Dagger... Fine, fine, so this dagger that Mother usually treasured so dearly had actually been given to her by Dai Hao?

What a Dai Hao. He really did pass it down through the family!

Did he use this trick on every woman he deceived and slept with?

Were there Red Tiger Daggers, Blue Tiger Daggers, and Green Tiger Daggers hidden elsewhere in this world too?!

To hell with the White Tiger Duke. He was absolutely disgusting!

As they spoke, Ye Linyuan had already packed his belongings.

He was just about to forcibly drag his mother away.

But at that moment, a cold voice suddenly came from outside the house.

"Are you Ye Linyuan, that little bastard who dreams of returning to the duke's mansion?"
