Chapter 87: Ye Xuan’s Collapse

When Qin Li heard that Qin Xian was willing to continue acknowledging her, it was as if a drowning person had found a lifeline. Hope returned to her entire being!

Without any hesitation, she rushed to Qin Xian, embracing him once more, her tears flowing freely. “I will, brother. I will never betray you! Everything I have belongs to you!”

Some might say Qin Li was unfilial for choosing Qin Xian over her own bloodline and disregarding her family’s bitter enmity.

But to Qin Li, her entire life revolved around Qin Xian and his kindness to her. Nearly twenty years of memories and emotions were all intertwined with Qin Xian. As for the Ye family, to her, they were nothing more than a distant, faceless name.

Now Ye Xuan expected her to betray the brother she loved the most and join him in seeking revenge against Qin Xian.

On what grounds? She had no interest in the tangled blood feud of the previous generation; all she wanted was her brother. If that made her selfish, so be it.

As for Ye Xuan, her so-called biological brother, Qin Li felt no attachment to him and had no desire to acknowledge him. Without hesitation, she signed the Soul Contract with Qin Xian.

Instantly, she felt her soul bind with his, merging seamlessly. However, this bond was one-sided. Qin Xian could control her life and death at will, while Qin Li could never betray him, not even harbor a single rebellious thought.

The Soul Contract was only a slight step above a master-servant pact. But Qin Li didn’t mind; in fact, she felt a deep sense of relief. All her previous worries and anxieties vanished, for now, she truly belonged to her brother.

…

Ye Xuan stared blankly at the scene before him, frozen in place. Qin Xian and Qin Li shared a heartfelt, affectionate moment. And him? He felt like a complete fool.

His face showed disbelief as he looked at Qin Li, shaking his head in shock. It was as if he were trapped in a nightmare he couldn’t wake up from. He could neither understand nor accept it.

Why? Why, even after learning the truth, would Qin Li still choose Qin Xian? Had Qin Xian deceived her, or begged for forgiveness, Ye Xuan could have understood her decision; after all, over a decade of feelings wasn’t easy to sever.

But Qin Xian had just been his usual cold self, directly confirming the truth, and yet Qin Li still chose him without hesitation, even signing a Soul Contract.

Ye Xuan simply couldn’t fathom it. Was Qin Xian really so irresistibly charming that Qin Li would overlook a blood feud to stay by his side? The Qin family had slaughtered the Ye family, after all.

Their parents had been killed by Qin Xian’s father, Qin Ming! Looking at Marika and Qin Li standing beside Qin Xian, Ye Xuan’s heart was filled with pain. His face turned deathly pale, and he felt an overwhelming urge to cry out in anguish.

His goddess, his sister—they had both chosen Qin Xian.

Three against one? Yes, it was indeed three against one. Only, he was the one on the losing side!

In that moment, Ye Xuan’s spirit shattered. His parents had been killed by the Qin family, his family wiped out by them, and everything he cherished had been taken by Qin Xian.

Now, his only remaining sibling had also been stolen by him! Ye Xuan’s body trembled, but he took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down. Having been hunted by the Qin family for over twenty years, his resolve was unbreakable.

Fixing a hate-filled gaze on Qin Xian, he thought, This is all Qin Xian’s fault! He would kill Qin Xian, rescue his sister, and keep her by his side. Someday, she would see the truth—she would come to her senses. All he needed was Qin Xian’s death.

Qin Xian, meanwhile, looked back at Ye Xuan with a smile. “This is our second meeting, but it will also be our last.”

A cruel smile formed on his face. “After you die, I won’t spare any of the Ye family’s old allies either. Anyone connected to you will perish. The Ye family never should have existed in this world.”

Hearing this, Ye Xuan roared furiously, “You deserve to die!”

His voice, reminiscent of a dragon’s roar, echoed across the heavens with majesty and gravitas. His entire form transformed into that of a Dragon God. This time, it wasn’t merely an avatar—Ye Xuan had fully ascended to a true Dragon God!

“I am now a Level 40 Dragon God!” Ye Xuan clenched his right hand, feeling the boundless power coursing through him. For the first time, he felt a sense of true security. Only power could be his eternal companion.

“Dragon Realm Descends!” Pointing with both hands, Ye Xuan shattered the space within the Pantheon.

Countless dragon shadows surged from his body, transporting both him and Qin Xian into a new dimension. Although Qin Li’s choice had broken Ye Xuan’s heart, she was still his sister, and he chose to move the fight elsewhere to avoid endangering her.

[Dragon Realm Descends]: Summon the Dragon Realm. Within the Dragon Realm, all your skills gain true damage, and damage is increased by 501.2%, lasting for 120 minutes.

The Dragon God Apostle’s dragon form paled in comparison to a true Dragon God. A true Dragon God was a divine-class profession, hailed as the mightiest among SSS-class combatants. This was why the Dragon Ancestor had been able to establish an empire.

Ye Xuan looked coldly at Qin Xian, filled with the arrogance that belonged to a Dragon God. His gaze toward Qin Xian was that of a predator sizing up its prey.

“You’re finished, Qin Xian.” Ye Xuan spoke with conviction, as if announcing Qin Xian’s fate. He raised three fingers in front of him.

“I’ll end this in three moves.”
