"Grandpa, who asked you to worry about that... My friend is still inside. Can you please save him..." Qian Renxue stomped her foot lightly, tugging at Qian Daoliu's sleeve while acting coquettish, clearly frantic with worry.
Under normal circumstances, she would never behave like this.
But she was genuinely concerned about Ye Feng, so even if it meant begging her grandfather, she was willing.
"Xue'er, is this friend of yours... male or female?"
Qian Daoliu frowned immediately, cutting straight to the heart of the matter.
Hearing this, Qian Renxue felt a pang of guilt and instinctively lied, "F-Female..."
"You're lying. It's a man, isn't it? What's your relationship with him?"
Qian Daoliu saw right through her deception, his gaze sharp and relentless as he pressed for answers.
A sense of unease began to stir in his heart.
"Just... just a friend... Ugh, Grandpa, why are you asking so many questions? Can you hurry up and save him already?"
Qian Renxue's cheeks flushed inexplicably, and she stomped her foot again, clearly flustered by the interrogation.
"If it's just a friend, then forget it. If he dies, he dies."
Qian Daoliu spoke coldly, unmoved, his earlier warmth completely gone.
When it came to his granddaughter's future, he would not show any leniency!
"Grandpa, he... he's my man! I like him!"
Qian Renxue's face burned red as she finally blurted out the words, her voice trembling with desperation. "Please... save him... I'm begging you..."
"Hmph! Then he deserves to die even more! Knowing you like him, he still took you to Slaughter City? Serves him right!"
Qian Daoliu's anger flared instantly, feeling as though the cabbage he had carefully nurtured for over twenty years had been trampled by a wild boar!
Given Qian Renxue's status, no one in the world her age was worthy of her.
In his eyes, the so-called "wild man" in her words was nothing more than a pretty-faced smooth-talker who had deceived her.
Even if this man didn't die in Slaughter City, he would personally grind his bones to dust!
"Grandpa, no... I... we've already..."
Qian Renxue's face turned so red it seemed about to drip blood.
Of course, they hadn't actually gone that far.
But the things Ye Feng had done to her... were practically the same.
In truth, Ye Feng could have easily taken her...
And she wouldn't have refused.
But he hadn't.
Every time they stopped, she would deliberately throw a tantrum and chase him away—partly out of sheer embarrassment, and partly out of frustration and disbelief.
How could he hold back at that point? Was he even a man?!
...
"Don't try to fool me. I can tell from your aura—you're still untouched. There's no way you've done anything like that!"
Qian Daoliu was an old fox and wouldn't be tricked by her vague words.
"Everything... except that..."
Qian Renxue's ears burned crimson as she lowered her head, stammering.
Though she said little, it was as if she had confessed everything.
Qian Daoliu understood immediately.
And then, he exploded with rage.
"That damned bastard! He dared to defile my granddaughter's purity?! He doesn't deserve to live!"
Qian Daoliu's fury erupted like a volcano!
His lungs were about to burst from anger!
So he played around but didn't go all the way?!
That was even worse than if he had actually taken her!
Qian Renxue, such an obedient child, has actually been molded into this state by that brat—utterly outrageous!
"Grandpa... no... we truly love each other. Can you please save him..."
Seeing Qian Daoliu's murderous intent toward Ye Feng grow stronger, Qian Renxue was completely dumbfounded and didn't dare continue.
She had intended to emphasize how close she and Ye Feng were, but her words only made things worse...
"No! What I say goes! That bastard deserves to die!"
Qian Daoliu was still fuming and refused to yield.
He wished Ye Feng would just die in Slaughter City and spare his granddaughter from further corruption.
"Clang—"
At that moment, a cold glint flashed before Qian Daoliu's eyes.
He jerked his head up, only to find a dagger pressed against Qian Renxue's own neck.
"Xue'er!!!!!"
"What are you doing!!!"
"Stop... stop right now... let's talk this through... don't be rash..."
Qian Daoliu was nearly scared out of his wits, his soul almost leaving his body. It felt as though the dagger wasn't at her neck, but against his own heart.
Even though it was Qian Renxue threatening suicide, Qian Daoliu felt as if his own life hung in the balance...
Qian Renxue was his most treasured. If anything happened to her, he wouldn't want to live either.
At the same time, he cursed Ye Feng a thousand times in his heart.
How could such an obedient and well-behaved child like Qian Renxue have been twisted into this state?!
Qian Daoliu wished he could drag Ye Feng out and tear him to pieces!!!
Of course, these were just thoughts he kept to himself—he didn't dare voice them, lest Qian Renxue act rashly and hurt herself...
"Grandpa... he's really important to me, please..."
Qian Renxue's voice trembled with tears, her desperation genuine.
Only now did she truly realize just how much Ye Feng meant to her...
Her mind was filled with nothing but thoughts of him, overwhelming her completely.
The mere idea of never seeing Ye Feng again made her heart ache unbearably, so much that she could barely breathe.
"Alright, alright... Grandpa promises you, just put the knife down..."
Qian Daoliu's heart ached just as much as hers!
For a man, Qian Renxue was actually threatening to take her own life—this was worse than killing him outright!
Damn that wild man!
He truly deserves to die!
"Really?"
Hearing this, Qian Renxue stopped crying, her eyes lighting up with irrepressible joy.
"My dear granddaughter, after all this, would Grandpa lie to you? Put the knife down now..." Qian Daoliu was seething inside.
What sin had he committed...?
Was this retribution for what his son had done to Bi Bi Dong all those years ago...?
"Then Grandpa, let's hurry!"
Only then did Qian Renxue lower the dagger.
Seeing this, Qian Daoliu felt as though the knife against his own heart had vanished, and he exhaled deeply in relief. Instinctively, he tried to explain, "Xue'er, earlier, Grandpa didn't refuse to save him because I wouldn't... it's just that Slaughter City is a place where even I can't exert my full strength..."
"What? Grandpa, you just said—" Qian Renxue immediately panicked again.
"Wait, let me finish!"
Seeing Qian Renxue about to pick up the knife again, Qian Daoliu grew even more anxious than her and quickly said, "But if Grandpa intervenes, there's still a certain chance of success—provided your friend is still alive."
Of course, his words were mainly meant to reassure Qian Renxue.
Slaughter City was infamous, and he had naturally dealt with its King of Slaughter before.
Outside, he could easily overpower the King of Slaughter with one hand.
But if the other party holed up in Slaughter City, protected by its rules, their chances would be about even.
Though he didn't possess the Slaughter God Domain, his peak Demigod strength allowed him to barely break through the other's rules.
However, doing so would significantly weaken his combat power.
Still, if he took a firmer stance, there was a chance to force the other party to release the captive...
"Ye Feng is very strong—he's definitely still alive!" Hearing this, Qian Renxue's eyes sparkled as she affirmed eagerly.
"Alright, alright. That boy's name is Ye Feng, right? This old man will remember it..."
