Chapter 2: Promise. (1)
"Haha... that was a vitality-absorbing pill. See, she was already half a step in the coffin, and I gave her the pill to relieve herself from this world. And even if I gave the pill to this woman, she may not be able to save herself from the power of the pill. And now, since you already gave the pill to this woman, now come with me," the wretched man said slowly.
Little Xiao Yang didn't understand what the hell the wretched man said, but seeing the blood coming out from her grandma's mouth and her hands and legs starting to melt, like they were placed on a very hot surface and started to expand. It was the same for the body of the grandma, and soon within a few seconds, the condition of the grandma was so bad that her teeth started to fall from her jaws.
Little Xiao Yang stared at the grandma, who couldn't even speak now. He tried to call the grandma, although his voice seemed to reach the ears of the grandma, but she couldn't reply to Xiao Yang. Her eyes started to dim, and she slowly raised her hand and said weakly, "Xiao Yang, run away. As far as you can!"
After saying this, she suddenly lost her balance and lay on the ground.
The spectators didn't even raise a single voice for him and watched like a show that a very interesting drama was going on. And another reason that no one raised the question to stop the wretched man was that his father is the city lord of the Fallen Leaf City. And he is in the realm of the Ascension realm, with a 4th-grade martial spirit, Green Toad. And they are just casual cultivators; how dare they raise the question against the city lord? They are not fools nor have they lived long enough.
So no one raised what happened to the old lady and Xiao Yang.
However, still, many people were angry about this, but they couldn't show it on the surface.
And most of the people thought that Xiao Yang is the girl and it's a habit of the young master of the city lord mansion to pick up a girl at this and even enjoy. So, they restrained themselves again from this fact.
Stall Place
Now, the old granny died by taking the pill, which devoured her vitality, an old woman who could live up to more than a decade, now died.
"Hehe.... little girl, look at your grandma, she is already dead. Why don't you come with the big brother? He will help you eat delicious food daily, and you don't have to work hard and eat those dirty buns daily. How about it?" The young master of the City Lord mansion spoke evilly to Xiao Yang.
However, Xiao Yang's mind wasn't even one percent on the words of the young man but on the body of his Grandma. He still never said that he is a boy.
In Xiao Yang's eyes, there were drops of countless tears. His tears were unable to stop, and he knelt down in front of the lifeless body of the grandma, whose body had already turned cold.
He turned his head towards the wretched young man and looked at him with fiery gaze. He was angry because the man in front of him was a cultivator, and they were just mortals who could be killed at will. Although he didn't know why, there was a flame in his heart, and his eyes stared at the eyes of the wretched man as he clenched his fists.
Xiao Yang stood before the young master of the Fallen Leaf City, his small frame trembling with defiance despite the overwhelming odds stacked against him. He knew he was just a mortal, a mere child in the realm of cultivators, but the fierce determination to defend his grandma burned within him like an unquenchable flame.
The young master sneered at Xiao Yang's audacity, his eyes glinting with amusement at the sight of the brave but foolish child. With a dismissive wave of his hand, he signaled to his companions, who advanced menacingly towards Xiao Yang.
"Little girl, do you truly believe you can stand against us?" the young master taunted, his voice dripping with contempt.
Xiao Yang squared his shoulders, his icy blue eyes flashing with determination. "I will kill you, you have killed the grandma. I will avenge her!"
With a swift motion, one of the young master's lackeys lunged at Xiao Yang, aiming a vicious blow at his fragile form. Despite his valiant efforts to evade the attack, Xiao Yang was struck hard, his ragged clothing torn by the force of the impact.
The pain seared through Xiao Yang's body, but he refused to yield. With a fierce cry, he launched himself at his assailants, his fists pounding against their bodies with surprising ferocity. Though his blows lacked the refined technique of a cultivator, they carried the raw determination of a soul unwilling to surrender.
For every blow he received, Xiao Yang retaliated with tenfold intensity, his small fists a whirlwind of defiance against the injustice before him. Though his physical body bore the marks of the brutal assault, his spirit remained unbroken, fueled by the unwavering love and loyalty he held for his grandmother.
Despite their initial amusement, the young master and his companions soon found themselves growing frustrated by Xiao Yang's stubborn resistance. Try as they might, they could not subdue the indomitable spirit that burned within the young mortal.
As the confrontation raged on, Xiao Yang's courage inspired whispers of awe among the onlookers, who marveled at the sheer tenacity of the young boy. Though they knew he stood no chance against the cultivators before him, they could not help but admire his bravery in the face of overwhelming odds.
At last, exhausted and battered but unbowed, Xiao Yang collapsed to the ground, his body trembling with exhaustion. Though he had not emerged victorious, his valiant stand had left an indelible mark upon the hearts of those who witnessed it.
As he lay there, his breath ragged and his body bruised, Xiao Yang's thoughts turned to his beloved grandmother.
However, in the void, three people watched the battle between Xiao Yang and the two wretched men. Suddenly, one of them noticed that Xiao Yang's body seemed to possess unimaginable power. Despite being just a mortal, he was able to fight against a cultivator in the condensation realm. However, as he looked at Xiao Yang's haggard face, lying on the ground and bleeding, the man couldn't help but sigh.
His hand was tugged by the little girl's hand, who looked at him expectantly, her watery eyes pleading with him, her father.
The little girl's father noticed her daughter's action and sighed before asking, "Do you want to save him?"
"Hmmm...!" She nodded.
At this moment, her mother, holding her other hand, rubbed her head and said, "Yue'er, we can't save everyone from the suffering of mortals. If you save him, there will be karma between him and us. And he will need to repay. Do you think a mortal should repay us?"
Her mother's ethereal voice whispered in the little girl's ear.
She turned her head to look at her mother with a pouty face and said, "Mother, please save him...!" Her little, cute voice reached her parents' ears, and they sighed.
They didn't expect her to become so stubborn, so they had no choice but to save the little boy.
However, at this time, the wretched man who wanted to abduct Xiao Yang stepped forward to carry him on his back. Suddenly, he looked at the man who had appeared in front of him.
When the wretched man looked at him, he saw a man in his late twenties with a very handsome face and an unfathomable aura that even he couldn't sense. He seemed to know that even his father might not have such an aura. He looked at him and asked, "I don't know what the senior wants?"
Although the wretched man's voice faltered, there was a hint of arrogance even after knowing that her was no match for the man in front of him. However, this was the territory of the wretched man's father.
"I want his body," the anonymous man said, pointing towards Xiao Yang's body.
"What does that mean?" the wretched man asked in return.
"Haha... nothing. As I said, I want his body back. Will you give it to me or not?" The anonymous man replied.
"Hmmph... Don't think that just because you're a little powerful, you can do anything you want. This is the city lord's area, and even if you are strong, there are many powerful cultivators in my house, and with the help of the formation, they can kill you." Until this moment, the wretched man still didn't know who he was talking to.
Haha... The anonymous man suddenly laughed and suddenly had Xiao Yang's body in his hand. He looked at the fatigued body and the many places that had been fractured by the fight with the wretched man.
He couldn't help but sigh at the recklessness of this boy. He fought with a cultivator for his grandma, and the anonymous man could at least see that they were not related by bloodline. It means he is adopted. Although he didn't know whether he knew or not, standing up for his grandma made an impression on his mind.
He took out a low-grade healing pill and stuffed it into Xiao Yang's mouth to let him heal.
And soon the pill took action and healed Xiao Yang. Although he had just regained consciousness, he still saw the person who was holding him. It was the anonymous person.
However, the wretched man became angry and attacked the anonymous person. But he didn't know whom he had provoked. However, the anonymous person didn't attack him but just blocked the attack with his spiritual power and then looked at Xiao Yang and touched his wrist to check his body.
When he touched his body, he found the medicine was almost devoured by the boy in front of him. Obviously, his cultivation was very high, and he could easily see he was a boy. As his spiritual power ran through Xiao Yang's body, he found that the child had very deep meridians and blood vessels. However, to confirm his guess, he tried to look at his bloodline.
His spiritual sense tried to sense the blood of Xiao Yang, but he was unable to, like it had never existed. Then he looked at his body's appearance, hairstyle, and color. He didn't think he would be the child of a mortal, with such high appearance. So this time, he fully used his power to scan Xiao Yang's bloodline because he felt intuition.
However, as time passed, Xiao Yang's bloodline remained as calm as water. But suddenly, when the spiritual sense of the anonymous person tried to enter Xiao Yang's navel, he felt that his spiritual sense would be sucked by him. He also felt something from this, that even if he attacked this child, there may be something that could kill him instantly. So he didn't dare to gamble. But as a powerful person, how could he give up on Xiao Yang easily?
However, he had no intention of taking him as his disciple. Then he looked at his daughter in the void, but he quickly dismissed this idea. If he was really someone from a very powerful bloodline clan, then they would use resources to dismiss the relationship between them. Soon he had an idea.
He looked at the pale Xiao Yang and asked.
"Little boy, I can kill him and his family, but you have to promise me one thing?"
"How about it?"
His voice only reached Xiao Yang's ears, and the others were unable to hear.
