Chapter 38 â The Feeling of Bullying Others! Iâm So Angry!
âHoly Son, I didnât mean it that way!â the Seventh Elder immediately realized his mistake and hurriedly explained. In his anger, he had forgotten that Lin Yan was now Yang Chenâs stepson.
âBut Holy Son, Lin Yanâs actions must be punished!â A Nascent Sou elder on the side, said.
âYes, Lin Yan not only beheaded the son of an Elder from the Blood Blade Sect but also spread the rumours of your acquisition of the Primordial Fire, causing chaos in our Xuantian Sect!â
âHoly Son, even if he is your stepson, you cannot protect him like this!â
âLin Yan must be punished, you are too lenient with him!â
Several elders spoke vehemently, strongly demanding punishment.
âUm?â Yang Chen pretended to be troubled. Looking at Lin Yan kneeling on the ground, he said helplessly, âYanâer, what the elders said also makes sense. You have caused quite a bit of trouble recently! âAlright then, as your father, Iâll punish you by confining you to the Yuhan Cliff for a year!â
[TL note: ĺš˝ĺŻĺ´ (YuhĂĄn YĂĄ): This phrase refers to Youhan Cliff, a secluded and forbidding location. The name suggests that the confinement will be harsh/cold and unpleasant.]
âHoly Son, isnât this punishment too light?â one elder questioned.
Yang Chen frowned.
âYanâer is young and ignorant, itâs inevitable that he would cause some trouble! You donât need to say anything more! I have my own reasons!â
Yang Chen indeed had a reason. The reason he was confining Lin Yan to the Yuhan Cliff was that there was a great gift waiting for him there.
Yang Chen looked at Lin Yan again, âYanâer, during this year, reflect on your actions and strive to correct your mistakes!â
âTake your time, your mother and I will visit you together!â
âDamn it!â
Lin Yan, kneeling on the ground, clenched his fists, his fingernails deeply embedded in his flesh.
Yang Chen, you son of a bitch. Stealing my Primordial Fire and humiliating me like this! I will definitely kill you by a thousand cuts!
[TN: Death by a thousand cuts, aka, Lingchi. Caveat: It gets gory. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lingchi]
Unable to help himself, Lin Yan glanced at Shen Xueyan.
Although she was facing him, her gaze was always on Yang Chen.
He suddenly felt a surge of anger in his heart.
His Primordial Fire was stolen. Could it be that Shen Xueyanâs heart was also going to be stolen?
Ah!
Bastard!
Yang Chen, you truly deserve to die!
Cough!
Lin Yan was so angry that he coughed up a mouthful of blood. Then he passed out completely.
He happened to fall at Shen Xueyanâs feet.
âAh!â
The blood splattered on Shen Xueyanâs skirt.
Shen Xueyanâs face turned sour.
This Lin Yan, really.
The Holy Son was protecting him, yet he still had such a fiery temper!
âYanâer!â Yang Chen quickly walked over, looking worried.
Yanâer, donât die of anger. Now is not the time for you to die.
He placed his hands at the tip of Lin Yanâs nose.
Yang Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Yanâer was still alive.
[Ding! Host has once again punished Lin Yan in public as his stepfather. Feeling the gaze of the female supporting character Shen Xueyan always lingering on the host, Lin Yan is overwhelmed with anger and faints. The host has plundered 600 Providence Luck from Lin Yan, the Son of Destiny, and is rewarded with 600 VPs!]
Hmm?
Not bad, not bad.
A playful smile appeared at the corner of Yang Chenâs lips.
Another wave of Villainous points.
Several days later.
The flying boat returned to the Xuantian Sect.
Yang Chen arrived at the foot of the Holy Son Peak.
A tall figure was holding a baby, followed by a little follower waiting for him.
âHusband!â
When Lin Xilan saw Yang Chen, her nose tingled, and her eyes turned slightly red. During this time, she had dreamt every night of her husbandâs return. Although it was only a separation of a dozen days, it felt like three autumns to her.
Yang Chen also walked quickly to Lin Xilanâs side and hugged her into his arms.
âWife!â
âIâm back!â
âHusband, I missed you so much!â
Yang Chen hugged Lin Xilanâs waist, smelling the fragrance emanating from her.
He felt his blood boil.
During these dozen days, he had been holding back.
âDaddy, I want a hug too!â
On the side, Yang Chi said in a childish voice, interrupting the affection between the two.
âAlright, daddy will hug you!â
Yang Chen squatted down and picked him up.
In the distance.
Lin Yan happened to see this happy family scene.
Instantly, he clenched his fists, his pale face showing veins popping.
âLin Yan, what are you looking at? Hurry up and come with us to the Yuhan Cliff!â
A Golden Core realm cultivator beside him said coldly. And he pushed Lin Yan hard, almost causing him to fall on his face.
âDamn you, bastard!!â
Lin Yan turned around and glared at him fiercely.
âYou dare to glare at me? Do you believe Iâll arrange for you to stay in the coldest place on the Yuhan Cliff!â
The Golden Core realm cultivator was furious.
âHow dare you!â
Lin Yan wasnât afraid at all and turned around to curse, â âYou goddamn dog-eyed bastard! Do you know who I am?â
âI donât care who you are!â
âA mere Foundation realm cultivator, you think you can defy the heavens?â
The Golden Core realm cultivator sneered.
At this moment, a Golden Core elder of the Xuantian Sect hurried over.
He gave the Golden Core cultivator a slap on the head.
âWho do you think you are to hit Young Master Yan?â
âYoung, Young Master Yan?â
The Golden Core cultivator was stunned.
âLin Yan is the stepson of our Holy Son, you, donât you want to live? How dare you be rough with Lin Yan! Quick, apologize to Lin Yan!â
The elder reprimanded sharply.
âHoly Sonâs stepson?â The Golden Core cultivator was stunned.
Then he remembered something and quickly apologized, âLin Yan, Iâm sorry, Iâm sorry! Itâs my fault, my fault! I didnât know you were the Holy Sonâs stepson! I have been staying at the Yuhan Cliff for this period of time, lacking information about the outside world, and didnât recognize you!â
The Golden Core cultivator immediately bowed.
Lin Yan looked at him acting like a slave, feeling inexplicably refreshed.
Suddenly, he realized.
Having power felt so damn good!
Moreover, the words âHoly Sonâs stepsonâ didnât seem to repel him as much as before.
If it were in the past, if someone mentioned him as the Holy Sonâs stepson, he would definitely have fought them. But after the incident with Blood Blade Sectâs Holy Son, he suddenly felt that his resistance had decreased significantly.
Damn it.
Why am I so despicable now?
Lin Yan cursed himself inwardly.
But he didnât deny it, instead saying coldly, âItâs good that you know! If you dare to disrespect me again, Iâll take your life with just a word!â
âYes, yes, itâs my fault, I will definitely repent in the future!â
The Golden Core cultivator nodded repeatedly, then took out a storage bag.
âLin Yan, this is a token of my respect for you, there are five thousand spirit stones inside!â
âFive thousand?â
Lin Yan furrowed his brow tightly. Last time, Li Junfeng, a Foundation Establishment realm cultivator at the Ninth Stage, gave ten thousand spirit stones for a single act. Now, this Golden Core cultivator was only giving five thousand?
âLin Yan, these five thousand are a token of my respect for you, and this is also my way of apologizing to you!â The Golden Core cultivator winced, but still handed over another five thousand spirit stones.
âHmph!â Lin Yan snorted, accepting all the spirit stones.
This feeling of bullying others with power was truly satisfying. Now, I can use Yang Chenâs name to do evil and amass wealth. Once I have the strength, Iâll tear that bastard apart!
âŚ
At night, Lin Xilan lay in Yang Chenâs arms, continuing to draw circles on his chest.
Sweat covered her fair forehead, and her cheeks were flushed.
âHusband, after all the trouble Lin Yan has caused, youâre only confining him for a year. Do the elders agree?â Lin Xilan asked.
âThey will agree even if they donât!â Yang Chen said domineeringly. âAfter all, Yanâer is our son!â
âAnnoying!â Lin Xilan pouted. âI want to go see him in a while and advise him to mend his ways!â
âSure!â Yang Chen agreed naturally.
âHusband, why do you feel so hot?â Lin Xilan felt that Yang Chenâs body temperature was higher than before and asked in confusion.
âBecause Iâve been really angry during this time!â Yang Chen said playfully, reaching out to tuck her hair behind her ear.
Then, he patted her head, where her hair was tied up.
âAnnoying!â Lin Xilanâs voice was soft and coquettish.
Then, Yang Chen took a deep breath.
