Chapter16: Death Exemption Token (1)
Shen Yanxiao looked at them blankly. How did the topic come back to him after it spread to others?
What is Vermilion Bird? What is Snow Spirit Fox? Why did he not realize anything at all?
With regards to the dungeon incident, there was only complete darkness in his memory. He was completely unaware of what was happening in the basement, but when the news of the death of the Snow Spirit Fox broke, it broke, he could feel how their sharp gazes were turning towards him like a knife was about to pierce through his body.
If not for Shen Feng, they would probably have pounced on him and cut him into small pieces!
It wasn't his fault, and he was innocent
Just when Shen Yanxiao was depressed by the situation where she was targeted by many arrows, Xiu's voice echoed in her mind.
"It was only a rank eight magical beast, but this stupid human was actually very desperate because of it. Dusky trash, everything. "
Shen Yanxiao was speechless. Although he had never seen a mysterious rank eight magical beast, but based on his limited understanding of that world and the strength and reputation of the Vermilion Bird Family, it was based on his limited understanding of it, he knew that only Shen Feng had a rank eight magical beast. Other people with rank six and seven beasts were already considered outstanding, while other ordinary people would thank the heavens if they could possess a third to fourth rank magical beast.
He was amused to hear how Xiu described the only eighth rank high-level magical beast in the Vermilion Bird Family as ‘just an eighth-level magical beast.’
If Shen Feng knew the Snow Spirit Fox he had captured at the sacrifice of hundreds of elite soldiers evaluated like that, would he have fainted?
Suddenly, Shen Yanxiao had a bad premonition.
Could the Snow Spirit Fox be.
My hand slipped and crushed him to death. As if he had guessed what Shen Yanxiao wanted to ask, Xiu replied in an indifferent manner.
Destroy it for this death
Shen Yanxiao could no longer express her emotions. It was as if someone had told him that they had accidentally smashed a heavy military vehicle with their toes as they passed by.
He very much wants to say, ‘Master Xiu .. please don't smash it to death!’
Unfortunately, only he could hear her voice. Otherwise, he would crush those extremely powerful experts on everyone's faces and laugh at them as they adored him.
However, at that moment, Shen Yanxiao could only hold a sharp gaze in silence.
‘My heart hurts. I feel like I can't trust anyone anymore. ‘
Shen Feng took a deep breath. He gathered all the important members of his family that day because he wanted to tell them about the pressing issue at hand.
As for the punishment for the incident in the basement, Shen Feng sighed inwardly as he looked at the child's face which was very different from his son's.
If only Shen Yu were still there
"Shen Yanxiao! Your mistake almost destroyed the roots of our Vermilion Bird Family, and you are too disgusting! " Shen Yue fixed Shen Yanxiao with an angry look. He knew that after it involved the Vermilion Bird, it had become a very important matter. At the time, her only concern was to help her children to get rid of all possible relationships with the incident.
As for Shen Yifeng who spoke for Shen Yanxiao earlier, he did not say anything more after he learned that he might have missed his chance with Vermilion Bird because of that idiot. He didn't continue to help her because he thought he was good enough not to add fuel to the fire.
"It's a total mess! The Head of the Family pitied this child for being an orphan, but now he had actually bitten the hand that fed him and caused a big problem for us. This trash can no longer be stored here! Family Head, please punish him! " Shen Duan choked with a mouthful of blood. His son could get the Vermilion Bird to rise to the position as the Head of the Family. However, everything was then destroyed by that stupid piece of trash, and he wished he could strangle her to death. He felt so much hatred towards Shen Yanxiao that he tried to incite Shen Feng to take out the trash.
Chapter17: Death Exemption Token (2)
At that moment, the other second generation disciples of the Shen Family had no intention to comment on Shen Yue's proposal to punish Shen Yanxiao. Shen Feng furrowed his brows as if there was something on his mind.
"They're just gonna punish me?" Shen Yanxiao did not expect things to develop like this, but after she thought about it, it made a bit of sense. This was a matter involving the reputation of the Vermillion Bird Family and after missing this opportunity, it was unknown when they could obtain the Vermillion Bird again. Furthermore, he was just a stupid and foolish orphan trash, and that made him the perfect pawn to settle everyone's anger.
Not only that, they knew that it would be beneficial for their children if they could get rid of a third generation competitor disciple, even if he was just trash. Why are they against that?
Without any support or anyone else to rely on, Shen Yanxiao who had just arrived in this other world had discovered evil intentions directed at her from all directions.
His little hand hiding within his sleeve clenched tightly, and he gritted his teeth calmly.
It was better that they would not let him through this incident. Otherwise, he would actually make them pay back everything they did hundreds of times over. Who cares about the Vermilion Bird or the Family Head? ‘As long as I survive today, I will make sure that the Vermilion Bird Family changes their leader!’
"It looks like Second Uncle and Fourth Uncle have a lot of complaints! I wonder if this is the beast that grandfather needs! " Smooth sounds echoed from outside as the gate slowly opened. A white-robed young man with a slender figure entered. He had a smile that was like a breath of fresh air, and he looked like a god descending into the mortal world. He proceeded to step inside the already tense main house with a heavy atmosphere.
The four strong men behind the man raised a large iron cage as they slowly entered the main house.
A snow fox in white, half human height, lay quietly in a cage and her dark green eyes changed slightly while her snow-white fur exuded an exotic luster.
"Shen Siyu"
The young man had arrived when everyone was not expecting it, and it resulted in a commotion in the main house.
He was not a direct descendant of the Vermilion Bird Family, but an orphan that Shen Feng had adopted into the family ten years ago. No one knew about his background, and they only knew that Shen Feng had named him Shen Siyu and he had the same seniority as the third generation disciple. Shen Siyu was eighteen years old, and his handsome appearance even defeated the elegant Shen Yifeng. If Shen Yifeng was a star in the night sky, then Shen Siyu would be a unique bright moon.
How does starlight compare to the brightness of the moon?
Shen Siyu's arrival was beyond everyone's expectations because she was usually not on the estate. Most of the time, Shen Feng would send him somewhere, and he was mostly washed away with no fixed place to rest. Shen Feng had personally arranged everything for Shen Siyu and both his existence as well as his strength were unknown to the rest of the family.
Luckily he was not part of the Vermilion Bird Family bloodline. Otherwise, Shen Duan and Shen Yu would have worked together to destroy the foster child that Shen Feng loved so much.
They were unwilling to admit that Shen Siyu had grown into a graceful and handsome young man as time passed. There was an aura that he released so easily that not even Shen Duan dared to act so rashly against him.
"Before I returned to the City, I heard about the matter regarding the God Realm and then discovered that the sage needed the Snow Spirit Fox as a gift. I was lucky to meet this little boy on the street and bring him back with me. I hope Grandpa will be kind enough to receive this gift. " Shen Siyu's eyes showed a smile, and his handsome appearance was like the work of perfect gods.
Chapter18: Death Exemption Token (3)
When Shen Jiayi saw Shen Siyu, her face reddened. His willfulness is suddenly replaced with the madness of a young woman.
"Good! Alright!" Shen Feng looked at Shen Siyu blankly for a moment and then smiled immediately after.
Shen Siyu quickly walked to Shen Yanxiao's side without caring for anyone, and before she could react, her outstretched hand pulled her into her embrace.
"Xiaoxiao, I'm back. Rest assured that as long as I am here, no one can bully you. " Shen Siyu's voice was very light and gentle.
However, to Shen Duan and the rest of the family, it was as if they heard rolling thunder.
Shen Yanxiao blinked, and when a pleasant scent entered her nose, she quietly thought, ‘Is this considered harassment?’
Memories with Shen Siyu sprung from within his mind. If Shen Yanxiao was the disgrace of the family, then Shen Siyu was their pride. The only unfortunate thing was that he had no blood relation with them and was therefore unable to inherit the position as the head of the family.
‘Family pride’ also treats ‘aib family’ very well. It was inherently different from Shen Yifeng's hypocrisy because he really cared about Shen Yanxiao. Ever since he started to remember things, Shen Siyu protected him from the false accusations of others whenever he appeared in his life, and he remained the reason why Shen Duan and the other disciples did not face him. Shen Siyu's kindness towards Shen Yanxiao also caused Shen Jiayi's hatred for her.
Perhaps it was because of the memories that the body had, but it caused Shen Yanxiao to feel close and familiar with Shen Siyu, and she did not avoid that brother of hers.
At that moment, Xiu suddenly said, "Not bad."
What's with ‘not bad’? Shen Yanxiao did not understand.
Shen Siyu's eyes were soft as she pampered Shen Siyu with a caress on her head. It served as a consolation for the little girl in his arms, and a warning to those with bad intentions.
"Siyu, you did well this time. What gift do you want? " Shen Feng was in a good mood when he obtained the Snow Spirit Fox again.
Shen Siyu first looked at Shen Yanxiao in his arms and then at the Snow Spirit Fox. She smiles. "Then I want to ask grandfather to forgive Xiaoxiao's mistake. Other than this, I have nothing more to ask for. "
What mentality is there to protect one's child ?! Shen Yue and Shen Duan looked at their children's strongest rivals in shock. They could not believe Shen Siyu would use her reward for that piece of trash after she returned with such a great reward.
"Do as you please," Shen Feng said with a smile.
The other bystanders did not dare to say anything more since Shen Feng had already spoken.
Furthermore, the opportunity to awaken Vermilion Bird in exchange for an idiot's life, it was a worthwhile trade. However, if Shen Siyu decided to ask for permission to join as a candidate to sign a contract with Vermilion Bird, all they could do was cry the river.
Although Shen Yifeng was confident of winning in the fight with Shen Jiayi and Shen Jiawei, he always felt that he would lose if he had to face Shen Siyu in a match.
The great crisis had been averted, and thus, the commotion about the dead Snow Spirit Fox subsided with the appearance of another. Shen Feng ordered everyone to leave after he gave them orders. He also personally arranged for trusted assistance to guard the dungeon so that an incident like the former would not happen again.
As for Shen Yanxiao, she felt like she was just a spectator from the beginning to the end of that meeting.
Of course, if Shen Siyu did not suddenly descend like a god with ‘ signs of death’ release, he might have to beg Mr. Xiu to take action and save his miserable life.
Chapter19: Reaping What Has Been Sown (1)
From her experience at the meeting, Shen Yanxiao fully understood her insignificance in the family. When he stood in front of Shen Yue and Shen Duan, he was powerless to resist, and he also lacked the strength to fight in front of the entire Vermilion Bird Family.
He could only tightly hold onto his trump card and try his best to speed up the process of unsealing it so that he could become stronger and return the favor over all the fear he had suffered that day.
Shen Yanxiao did not lose anything when she was just a spectator at the meeting, and instead, she gained a strong brother with a protective attitude.
Shen Yanxiao was an orphan in her past, and she had always had to move around in the city since she was young. He also had to rely on his stealing ability to obtain food and clothing. When she was fifteen, she was picked up and trained by an organization. However, no one cared if he lived or died. When he started in the organization, there were about a hundred orphans who started with him. However, only three of them survived after only three years of training.
He had never experienced caring and caring, so this was the first time he had met someone who would protect him at any moment. Therefore, this was quite a shocking situation for him.
Shen Siyu looked like she could withstand all the enemies, and not just the mischievous twins or Shen Yue and Shen Duan. With just a single glance from Shen Siyu, the twins, who would happily bully Shen Yanxiao whenever they could, would obediently scramble to the sidelines.
Shen Jiayi thought that she could cultivate her admiration for Shen Siyu when she returned. However, he held Shen Yanxiao's hand and walked away without even glancing to the side. ‘Halo, Siyu’'s brother was also carried away by the wind.
In Shen Siyu's eyes, other than the Vermilion Bird Family Head, Shen Feng, the only person who could attract his attention was Shen Yanxiao.
As for those useless outsiders, he would not even glance at them.
With the return of Shen Siyu, a large amount of gourmet food and small toys were sent to Shen Yanxiao's restroom. Shen Siyu was very busy and to the point that he was summoned by Shen Feng's subordinates before he had time to accompany Shen Yanxiao. As he sat cross-legged on the bed and looked at the dessert plate and the pile of toys on the table, his lips twitched.
He understood the intent behind dessert, but why would he send toys meant for young children?
He then realized that Shen Siyu had always treated Shen Yanxiao like a little doll and spoiled her. However, the new soul of his body was someone who was already an adult, and when he saw the childish toy, he did not know whether to laugh or cry. All he could do was question heaven without words.
He did not ask her to give him a mountain of gold and silver, but she would love some small jewelry. At the very least, he could give her something that she could sell for cash!
When Shen Yanxiao wiped her tears secretly, Shen Jiayi, who was ignored by Shen Siyu, ran furiously into her room.
When he entered the room, Shen Jiayi looked at the pile of gifts stacked on the table, and her angry eyes turned red with jealousy.
"Idiot, who do you think you are, until big brother Siyu treats you so well? You are just useless trash! You idiot! Even the lowest-ranked servant in the estate is better than you a hundredfold! You don't deserve a gift from brother Siyu! " Shen Jiayi clenched her fists tightly and stared intently at Shen Yanxiao who was sitting on the bed. The red color he saw lit up so bright that he could not see any logic or reason at all.
As she looked at Shen Yanxiao's unattractive appearance, Shen Jiayi's hatred for her grew.
She was prettier than an idiot trash, and she was also smarter than him. So why was Shen Siyu always keeping his eyes on that trash? He felt unwilling, he was unwilling to accept the fact that he would lose to a useless idiot!
Chapter20: Reaping What Has Been Sown (2)
As he walked towards the table, Shen Jiayi raised her hand and opened her palm. A small flame emerged from his palm as it slowly condensed and expanded.
Before one reached the sixth rank, there were not many skills that one trained in magic could learn and control. The skill that Shen Jiayi displayed was one of those few skills, Fireball Magic.
"You don't deserve it!"
Consumed by jealousy, Shen Jiayi released a fireball in her palm. A loud explosion followed him, and a red flame swallowed the pile of presents on the table. In the blink of an eye, fragrant pastries and soft little toys had burned and turned into ashes.
Ever since Shen Jiayi walked into the room, Shen Yanxiao sat quietly on the bed while looking at Shen Jiayi, who was crazy from jealousy, with no reaction at all.
Although he had burned all the gifts on the table, the anger that Shen Jiayi felt did not diminish. He knew that Shen Siyu had been summoned by Shen Feng, and no one else would appear in Shen Yanxiao's room to help him at that moment. No one could stop whatever he wanted to do to that fool!
Jealousy and unwillingness prompted Shen Jiayi to approach Shen Yanxiao. He relied on his higher physique and grabbed Shen Yanxiao's collar, then roughly pulled her from the bed and pulled her towards the fire.
"I want to see if big brother Siyu will pity an ugly idiot like you after I burn all your hair and eyebrows!" Shen Jiayi loudly said. Shen Jiawei stood guard at the outer door, and as such, he was not worried that anyone would find out what he was doing. Even if anyone saw that something was wrong, they would assume that Shen Yanxiao had been careless and turned over the candle that caused the fire that burned her gifts and hair.
No one would suspect him because no one cared about the idiot's life or death!
No one but Shen Siyu.
Shen Yanxiao thought about how the current children became more savage. He did not play any tricks and let Shen Jiayi drag him closer to the fire. His eyes, however, showed a bad flash.
Shen Yanxiao narrowed her eyes as she felt the heat wave that passed through her skin become warmer. As he looked towards Shen Jiayi, who had lost all her senses, and the flames blazing in front of them, an evil smile coiled up on her rosy lips. An invisible stream of air then gathered at his fingertips and gradually formed a small flame. He hid the spark behind his back, and Shen Jiayi did not even realize that something was wrong.
When she reached the burning table, Shen Yanxiao showed a glint of evil light in her eyes and a small flame shot out from her fingertips like an arrow!
Shen Jiayi intended to drag Shen Yanxiao into the flames when she felt a burst of pain in her ankle. The helpless Shen Jiayi immediately lost her balance, and she instantly fell into the furious flames!
"Ohhhhh !!!" The high temperature attacked Shen Jiayi's body, and flames immediately swallowed it. His skin was burning, and he could not resist the blood-curdling scream that came out of his mouth. He had no idea what had happened and how he had mysteriously stumbled and fallen into the flames.
Shen Jiayi only felt intense pain as she struggled within the flames, and her vision subconsciously fell onto the small figure standing outside the flames.
He still looked as thin as before, and had an unattractive appearance.
