Chapter 17: You Unfilial Brat, You’ve Doomed Your Father!

Late at night, in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

In Yu Yuanzhen's residence.

After finishing dinner and having someone arrange a room for Bibi Dong to rest in, Yu Xiaogang, Yu Yuanzhen, and Yu Yuanzhen's wife gathered together in the study.

"Xiaogang! What's the deal with this Bibi Dong?"

"Judging from her attire, demeanor, and speech, she doesn't seem like an ordinary person."

"She seems to know a lot about the world of soul masters too. But why is there no fluctuation of soul power on her?"

Yu Yuanzhen sat on a black leather sofa, frowning, his eyes fixed on Yu Xiaogang, filled with questions.

Beside him, Yu Xiaogang's mother also had the same doubts.

To this, Yu Xiaogang grinned proudly.

During the dinner, as hosts showing concern for their guest, his parents naturally asked Bibi Dong about her background.

But before arriving at the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Yu Xiaogang had already told Bibi Dong:

If his father and mother asked about her identity, she should stay quiet for now.

He wanted to give his parents a surprise later!

That way, the contrast would be greater, and they would value her even more.

The naive and trusting Bibi Dong naturally didn't doubt him, happily believing in Yu Xiaogang.

"Dad, Mom, the situation is a bit complicated."

"If I didn't say anything, you'd never guess Dong'er's origins."

"So let me give you a big surprise!"

"Let you both see that your son is definitely not some useless trash!"

Yu Xiaogang was full of confidence and pride.

After showing off for a moment, he finally revealed the truth.

"Actually, Dong'er isn't some ordinary girl. She's the Holy Maiden of Spirit Hall!"

"I met her in Spirit City, and because of your son's charm, she insisted on eloping with me."

"She even threatened the Pope with death if he didn't allow it. In the end, she voluntarily gave up her cultivation just to leave Spirit Hall with me."

"So I brought her back to our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!"

"Though her cultivation was abolished, she was innately full of soul power and is a genius who possesses the top-tier twin spirits—Death Spider Emperor and Soul Devouring Spider Emperor."

"If your son marries her and we have children, they'll definitely be exceptionally gifted!"

"Besides, as the Holy Maiden of Spirit Hall, she surely knows many of their secrets."

"If we can extract those from her, it would be a huge benefit for our clan!"

At this point, Yu Xiaogang's voice paused briefly. Excited, he continued.

"Moreover, Dong'er is utterly devoted to me."

"She was willing to betray Spirit Hall, give up her cultivation, just to be with me, to marry me!"

"If this news got out, whether it's within our clan or throughout the soul master world, everyone would be shocked and look at your son with new eyes!"

"Just like that, my reputation as a useless waste would finally be cleared!"

"So, Dad, Mom, aren't you stunned by my brilliance?!"

Seeing the stunned and slack-jawed looks on his parents' faces, Yu Xiaogang felt exhilarated, nearly bursting into laughter.

'That's right! This is the feeling!'

'Aren't you all shocked now?'

'Now you've witnessed my talent and capabilities!'

'You dare call me a waste?'

'Can you bring back the Holy Maiden of Spirit Hall like I did?'

'Can you make her willing to betray Spirit Hall and abandon her cultivation just to be with you?'

Yu Xiaogang was full of pride and satisfaction.

But after hearing this, Yu Yuanzhen only felt the world spinning, his vision going dark.

Inside his heart, a voice cried out in despair.

'It's over!'

'We're completely doomed!'

He never expected that while his youngest son Yu Xiaogang was so useless at cultivation, he could somehow be this reckless when it came to relationships.

He actually brought back the Holy Maiden of Spirit Hall!

And even had her threaten the Pope with her life? She gave up her cultivation just to be with you?

This isn't charm.

This is dragging the entire Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to its doom!

Can we afford to offend Spirit Hall?!

You brought their Holy Maiden back and had her beg the Pope with death threats? She even abolished her soul power and insisted on following you?

You're stomping on Spirit Hall's dignity!

"Brilliance? Stunned?"

Imagining the terrifying consequences they might face in the future, Yu Yuanzhen's whole body turned red with fury. His eyes burned red, teeth clenched, as he stood up with a twisted smile.

He immediately pulled off his belt.

Just as Yu Xiaogang was basking in his moment of glory—

Whack!

The belt lashed straight across Yu Xiaogang's face.

A sharp, painful crack echoed through the study, followed by a miserable scream.

"Dad, what are you doing?!"

Clutching his cheek, now marked by a long red welt, Yu Xiaogang cried out in both pain and anger.

'In the past, I awakened a half-level innate soul power trash spirit—Luo Sanpao—and embarrassed you.'

'You called me a disgrace and beat me. I accepted that.'

'But now, I've brought back the Holy Maiden of Spirit Hall!'

'She has innate full soul power, and twin top-tier spirits—Death Spider Emperor and Soul-Eating Spider Emperor!'

'Even if her cultivation was abolished, with that kind of potential, our children will be top-tier talents!'

'And she knows Spirit Hall's secrets!'

'Isn't that an incredible asset for our clan?'

'I've done so much for the clan and family, and you still hit me?!'

"You unfilial brat! Unfilial brat!"

Seeing that Yu Xiaogang still didn't know what he had done wrong, Yu Yuanzhen's eyes burned red as he roared in fury.

He lashed out again and again with the belt.

Yu Xiaogang howled in pain.

"You think you're smart? Do you know your so-called cleverness has doomed your father?"

"You're dragging our entire Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan into the abyss!"

"Yuanzhen, stop! Stop!"

"Xiaogang knows he's wrong! What we need to do now is figure out a way to fix this. Beating him won't solve anything!"

Beside them, seeing Yu Yuanzhen raining belt strikes and vicious kicks on Yu Xiaogang, his mother was heartbroken. She rushed to stop him.

"A-Lan, don't stop me!"

"Do you know how big a disaster he's caused this time?!"

Yu Yuanzhen's eyes were bloodshot. He clenched the belt so tightly his knuckles turned white, wishing he could beat Yu Xiaogang to death right then and there.

In his heart, he was filled with endless regret.

'Why didn't I just shoot him on the wall back then?'

'If I had, I wouldn't be suffering all this now!'

"Xiaogang! Hurry and apologize to your father!"

Yu Yuanzhen's mother, holding him back, glared at Yu Xiaogang and scolded furiously, urging him to admit his mistake.

"Mom, what did I do wrong?!"

Still not realizing the gravity of the situation, Yu Xiaogang stubbornly straightened his neck and glared back at Yu Yuanzhen.

"This time, I brought back the Holy Maiden of Spirit Hall."

"She has innate full soul power and twin top-tier spirits. She also knows many secrets of Spirit Hall."

"Bringing her back—isn't that a great contribution to our clan and family?"

"Why should he beat me?!"

"He says I've doomed him and dragged the family into the abyss."

"But aren't the three upper clans united? There's no need to fear Spirit Hall at all!"
