My wife who comes from a wealthy family-Chapter 924 - 925: The Black Fox Acknowledges Its Master

"Gulp!" Long San swallowed a mouthful of saliva, preparing to turn and flee instantly!

"Still want to run?" Long Mie sneered coldly, and stomped fiercely onto one of Long San’s knees!

"Crack!" A sound broke out, accompanied by the chilling noise of a fractured bone!

"Ahhh!" Long San let out a piercing wail, his knee shattered with a complete fracture!

Ignoring the pain, Long San limped and stumbled forward, fleeing while threatening, "You brat, I am Long San, the steward of Dragon Island! You dare ruin one of my legs; I will never let you off!"

"Facing death, still so stubborn?" Long Mie mocked, his body charging forth like a ferocious beast.

Bang!

Long San’s body slammed into a stone, breaking his other leg as blood splattered against the rock!

"Ahhh!" Long San screamed in agony. Crippled in both legs, he had no escape route and could only kneel on the ground, surrendering, "I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I was wrong!"

"Being wrong requires punishment!" Long Mie sneered.

"I... I have money! Here... this is a million Spirit Crystals! If you spare me, all of this is yours!" Long San retrieved a storage pouch from his body and threw it to Long Mie.

Long Mie caught it with one hand, his sneer unwavering, "Apologies! You stole my brother’s blade; even a billion Spirit Crystals wouldn’t save you today. Death is certain!"

Boom!

Long San trembled violently, collapsing to his knees, kowtowing and pleading, "No, please don’t kill me! This... This was all my master’s orders! Revenge has its proper source; if you seek vengeance, go after my master!"

"And who is your master?" Long Mie asked, eyes closed.

"The Crown Prince, Long... Long Zhan!" Long San answered, trembling.

Long Mie’s eyes flashed with a sharp, icy gleam, "Old Ye guessed correctly; it really is him!"

"I return this blade in its original condition!" Long San held up the blade with both hands and handed it to Long Mie!

Long Mie took the God-Slaying Blade that belonged to Ye Wudao.

"Spare me, please!" Long San begged with a face full of desperation.

Squelch!

Long Mie swung the God-Slaying Blade with precision, slashing his throat in one stroke!

"You... You..." Long San’s eyes widened in disbelief as his body fell heavily to the ground.

"Forgot to tell you—when my brother’s blade is drawn, blood is guaranteed!" Long Mie remarked, pulling out the cleanest cloth from his belongings. He carefully wiped the blood from the blade and handed it over to Ye Wudao.

"Old Ye, returning it to its rightful owner!"

Ye Wudao caught the God-Slaying Blade with one hand, tearing off the black cloth that covered his eyes. His gaze revealed a piercing brilliance as the blade pointed straight at Black Fox’s neck.

Black Fox collapsed to the ground, closed his eyes, and said, "Kill me!"

"You think I won’t?" Ye Wudao’s gaze was icy, and he took action immediately!

At the critical moment, a crying, desperate voice rang out, "No, don’t kill my father!"

Who?

Ye Wudao turned his head!

In the darkness, a little girl stood under the night sky. Her delicate face bore an unhealthy pallor, her hair an exceedingly snow-white color. She held a doll in her hands as she cried out fervently!

Upon hearing the voice, Black Fox, who had closed his eyes waiting for death, suddenly opened them and yelled, "Xiao Wen, run, run away quickly!"

"Daddy, I don’t want you to die!"

The white-haired little girl named Xiao Wen clutched the doll and ran toward Black Fox but fell heavily to the ground midway, cracking her head open and causing blood to flow. Her doll flew far away.

"Xiao Wen!" Black Fox shouted, his face contorted in anguish, "Escape!"

"Daddy, no! I won’t leave; I want to die with you!" the white-haired girl shouted.

Black Fox’s body shuddered and broke down, with an expression of utter despair, his eyes pleading toward Ye Wudao, "Sir, I know stealing your blade is deserving of death! I... I beg you to spare my daughter’s life; she is innocent!"

Long Mie hesitated, his gaze shifting toward Ye Wudao.

Ye Wudao nodded lightly, "I accept your plea!"

"I... I have one last request!" Black Fox said.

"Hey! Don’t push your luck. We’ve agreed to spare your daughter’s life, and you dare ask for more?" Long Mie exclaimed angrily.

Black Fox extended his hand, trembling as he slowly withdrew a bottle of red pills from his clothes. He placed it on the ground with a bitter smile, "This is the medicine to treat my daughter’s illness! Please... please ensure she gets this medicine!"

Ye Wudao picked up the bottle, sniffed it briefly, and nodded, "Alright!"

"Thank you for your great kindness! Black Fox will repay your mercy in his next life!" Black Fox said gratefully, kneeling heavily and lowering his head in a deep bow.

"Sir, you may now exact your punishment!" Black Fox tore off the face mask, revealing an exceedingly scarred and hideous visage!

Ye Wudao raised the blade in his hand high above his head!

"Daddy, no! Please, no!" The white-haired little girl wept.

Bang!

Ye Wudao brought the blade down, slicing off Black Fox’s long black hair!

"You may leave!" Ye Wudao said.

Black Fox opened his eyes and, staring at the pile of black hair on the ground, he asked in shock, "You’re... you’re not killing me?"

"Hair comes from one’s parents; cutting your black hair counts as killing you once! Leave! You and I owe each other nothing!" Ye Wudao said coldly, turning and walking away.

"Old Ye, that was incredible!" Long Mie gave a thumbs up and followed Ye Wudao.

Black Fox could no longer hold back his tears, shouting, "Benefactor, wait!"

Ye Wudao turned around.

Long Mie scowled impatiently, "What now? Don’t push your luck any further!"

Black Fox approached quickly, falling heavily to his knees before Ye Wudao, "I, Black Fox, committed a grave sin by stealing your weapon and taking heed of conspirators’ words to harm you. Such an atrocity deserves death! Yet you spared me from death and even saved my gravely ill daughter!"

Ye Wudao shook his head and turned to leave!

"Daddy!" The little girl ran forward but suddenly collapsed, falling unconscious.

"Xiao Wen!" Black Fox cried, holding his daughter, but no matter how he tried, could not wake her.

"That’s right, the medicine!" Black Fox immediately opened the bottle of red pills, preparing to feed them to Xiao Wen, when a voice interrupted him.

"That medicine alleviates symptoms but doesn’t cure the disease. The more she consumes, the worse her white phosphorus sickness will become!" Ye Wudao said.

What?!

Black Fox stared in disbelief, "Benefactor, you recognize my daughter’s illness?"

"Yes, white phosphorus sickness—a rare condition," Ye Wudao replied.

"Indeed, my daughter has suffered from this illness since birth. I’ve taken her across the land to visit famous doctors, but none could cure her. The only medicine capable of easing her symptoms is from the Dragon Clan!" Black Fox said bitterly, "That’s why I did their bidding, hoping my daughter could live a little longer."

Ye Wudao took out several silver needles and flicked them forward!

Bang!

Bang!

"Benefactor, no!!" Black Fox cried, seeing the needles in his daughter’s forehead. He chuckled helplessly, "My daughter’s life is bitter; if she dies, my heart dies too."

"Daddy..." Just then, the white-haired girl opened her eyes and spoke weakly.

"My daughter!!" Black Fox stared in shock and then turned, staring at Ye Wudao in astonishment, "Benefactor, you saved my daughter?"

"Yes, I used the Kunlun Needle Technique to suppress the illness in her body, ensuring ten years of peace for her to grow to adulthood," Ye Wudao replied calmly and walked away.

Black Fox could hold back no longer and shouted, "Benefactor, don’t go! Your great mercy and kindness, I, Black Fox, will never forget. I stole your blade and sought to harm you, yet you bore no grudge and saved my gravely ill daughter!"

Black Fox’s face was drenched in tears as he sobbed, "I... I, Black Fox, can never repay your benevolence!

If you don’t mind, I, Black Fox, am willing to swear allegiance to you, serving you unto death, never to betray you for a lifetime. Should I spit upon this oath, may heaven and earth strike me down!!"
