7: Aunt He is still charming
Ye Chen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said spiritedly, "Cao Nie, I'll screw your ancestors! Why haven't you released my mother yet? I'm telling you, my father is a Domain Lord. Try to touch my mother, and see what happens."
"And release Yun Yue too, otherwise I'll slaughter the Cao Family until no one is left."
With the Gray-Robed Middle-Aged Man, a Gui Xu Realm expert, backing him, Ye Chen immediately became emboldened.
Cao Nie had just broken through to Gui Xu, so he was definitely no match for the Gray-Robed Middle-Aged Man.
Ye Chen smiled very happily.
He felt extremely pleased.
So this was what it felt like to have a powerful background.
He Jie looked at the calm and composed Cao Nie and mocked, "Cao Nie, didn't you expect this? Ye Chen's father is an Asking Dao Realm expert. If you dare to touch us, mother and son, your Cao Family will pay the price."
Cao Nie released the two, stood up, and clasped his hands behind his back.
"Great Elder, activate the Isolation Array."
Seeing Cao Nie so confident, the Great Elder and the other eight elders exchanged glances, then simultaneously took out a token and began to activate it.
Soon.
The Cao Mansion was isolated.
From the outside, the Cao Mansion still looked calm, but inside, changes had already occurred.
Seeing Cao Nie's demeanor.
The Gray-Robed Middle-Aged Man sneered, "Kid, you're not willing, are you?"
Cao Nie's figure flickered, instantly appearing in front of the Gray-Robed Middle-Aged Man, and he raised a hand to slap him directly across the face.
"What are you?"
The Gray-Robed Middle-Aged Man clutched his slapped face.
His face was filled with disbelief.
He was also at the first layer of the Gui Xu Realm and had broken through decades ago.
Yet, he hadn't seen Cao Nie's movements clearly.
"Kid, you're looking for..."
With a "slap."
The Gray-Robed Middle-Aged Man was slapped again on the other side of his face.
"Kid, I'm going to kill you!" The Gray-Robed Middle-Aged Man raised a fist, and the surrounding space trembled. To avoid affecting Ye Chen and the others,
He controlled his energy around his body.
He thought his punch would injure Cao Nie.
However, when his fist touched Cao Nie, it passed directly through him, without even a trace of blood.
"An afterimage? How is that possible?" The Gray-Robed Middle-Aged Man exclaimed.
"Who says it's impossible?" Cao Nie's devilish whisper came from beside his ear.
The Gray-Robed Middle-Aged Man struck towards the direction of the voice.
What he touched was still an afterimage.
"Is this your strength?"
With a "slap," the Gray-Robed Middle-Aged Man was slapped again.
Cao Nie's voice came from all directions, and the Gray-Robed Middle-Aged Man went mad.
He struck at the shadows around him.
He was always one step too slow.
Every time he threw a punch, he would be slapped by Cao Nie.
His entire face swelled up at a visible rate.
The people around them were stunned.
Both were at the first layer of the Gui Xu Realm, so why was the difference so great?
Especially Ye Chen.
In his eyes, Cao Nie flickered in and out of sight, elusive.
The Gray-Robed Middle-Aged Man was like a monkey being toyed with by Cao Nie.
Suddenly, the Gray-Robed Middle-Aged Man stopped swinging his arms.
He looked in disbelief at Cao Nie, who had stopped dodging.
Cao Nie had one hand behind his back and the other plunged into his chest, gripping his heart and primordial spirit.
Cao Nie showed a benevolent smile: "In your next life, be a dog for someone, and remember not to be too arrogant."
"You dare to kill me? Aren't you afraid my master will come for revenge?" The Gray-Robed Middle-Aged Man said unwillingly.
He had thought this trip would be smooth.
Even if he couldn't win, they would show respect for his master's sake.
Who would have thought he would encounter Cao Nie, this fearless hothead?
"I'm a person who believes in immediate revenge. As for later, you won't be able to see it anyway."
Cao Nie's five fingers suddenly tightened, and a dull cracking sound came from the Gray-Robed Middle-Aged Man's chest.
The moment his primordial spirit and heart exploded simultaneously, his eyes were still frozen in disbelief and horror.
"Plop!"
Blood dripped down Cao Nie's well-defined fingers, blooming into a dazzling blood flower on the floor tiles.
He slowly withdrew his blood-stained arm and took out a snow-silkworm silk handkerchief from his sleeve.
"Second Brother."
Cao Nie wiped his fingertips, the silk brushing against his nails, bringing up tiny blood beads: "Why don't you invite your father over for a visit?"
He suddenly looked up, a cruelradian curving at the corner of his mouth: "The Cao Family Head would very much like to see if he can rescue you from my hands."
Ye Chen's Adam's apple bobbed, and cold sweat had already soaked through his robes.
He Jie's fingertips dug deeply into her palms; her earlier arrogant expression had long vanished.
Cao Nie gripped He Jie and Shen Yunyue and walked out towards the main hall.
"Great Elder, bring Ye Chen along."
The Great Elder immediately grabbed Ye Chen and followed Cao Nie out of the main hall.
Cao Kun, who was behind them, was confused and roared, "Rebellious son, where are you taking your Aunt He?"
He yelled, breaking through the pressure, his eyes bloodshot as he lunged at Cao Nie.
Cao Nie didn't even turn his head, kicking back with his foot.
"Boom!"
Cao Kun crashed heavily onto the Cao Family Head's seat, and the sandalwood throne shattered. He curled up in the ruins, blood continuously gushing from the corner of his mouth, soaking the front of his robe.
"Why don't I see you protecting my mother like this?"
Cao Nie turned and left with a cold face.
He resented Cao Kun to the extreme.
Listening Rain Pavilion.
Cao Nie's residence.
Entering the courtyard, Cao Nie held the two women and walked towards his living quarters.
At the same time, he instructed the Great Elder behind him: "Great Elder, you will watch Ye Chen in the courtyard; he must not leave this place."
The Great Elder threw Ye Chen aside and replied, "Yes, Cao Family Head."
Ye Chen lay on the ground, watching Cao Nie walk towards his living quarters, his face changed, and a strong sense of unease assailed him.
"Cao Nie, what exactly do you want to do?"
Cao Nie casually set up a barrier, then turned with a playful smirk: "Second Brother, Aunt He is still charming; how about I become your father?"
He Jie was even more charming than younger girls.
Below her slender, easily grasped waist was a full, perky derriere, swaying gracefully as she walked.
Every gesture and smile revealed the unique charm of a mature woman.
He Jie's face instantly flushed crimson, both shocked and enraged: "Cao Nie, how can you say such a thing?"
Although she had been close with Cao Kun these years, she had always remained chaste.
The only man she had ever been intimate with in her life was Ye Chen's father.
She never expected Cao Nie to have such sordid thoughts now.
Cao Nie's lips curled into a playful smile: "A son inheriting his father's ambition is only natural and proper. I imagine if he knew, he would praise my filial piety."
He Jie's eyes were tearful, and she shook her head: "You can't do this."
Just then.
Cao Kun, like a persistent ghost, followed them.
"Rebellious son, what exactly do you want to do? Release your Aunt He!"
A cold sneer appeared on Cao Nie's lips: "Father, you've chased her for a hundred years and haven't even held her hand. How useless! Since you can't do it, let me, your son, give it a try."
Cao Kun roared furiously, "Rebellious son, do you dare?"
"What is there to not dare? You could have forcibly taken her by relying on your cultivation, but you insisted on talking about feelings. A hundred years, and what have you gained? To end this endless relationship, your son has decided to help you cut off this thought."
"Rebellious son, you can't do this! Tell me, name your conditions. As long as you let Aunt He go, I'll agree to anything."
This was the person he had guarded for half his life.
How could he tolerate others laying hands on her?
Cao Nie pondered for a moment.
He raised his hand and pointed at Ye Chen: "If you want me to let He Jie go, then kill him."
Ye Chen's heart sank.
A strong sense of unease surged within him.
He looked at Cao Kun.
Indeed.
Cao Kun was staring at him with a fierce look.
"Godfather, you can't listen to him. My mother loves me most. If I die, she won't forgive you."
