Chapter 55: Ruthless Aunt Bigbutt
......
As Fu Wen's thoughts stirred, Lucifer pondered over the next words to come out of his mouth.
He had a few options here, with all of them leading him to some sort of trouble one way or another.
However, in the end, he knew what path he should take...
A truly spectacular path!
"Of course I didn't kill Ping Yinsers whoever! I merely took care of the weaker Spiritual Beasts that were looking to take advantage of your state of weakness!" Lucifer patted his stomach and laughed, seemingly finding such an outrageous notion to be hilarious.
"..."
Fu Wen analyzed the expression that her nephew was making and didn't find him to be lying about anything he said so far. But the prime question still lingered...
"Then who was it that defeated Ping Yin and the other Water Nation Experts?" She inquired with a serious tone.
This was a matter of grave importance, and there was no room for any lies. That was especially the case for family members.
They were supposed to stick together and work with each other.
However...
"Oh, of course that was the handiwork of my almighty master! He swooped in from the skies like an elusive immortal before killing those Water Nation plebs like weeds to the chopping!"
Lucifer didn't give a shit about being truthful with this dumbass family of his!
It was with this uncaring nature that he exaggerated the events of this imaginary master of his. He depicted him to be a great man, one who knew not how to surrender and one who sat above the mortals like a supreme god!
Fu Wen had a hard time believing half the things her nephew told her, but there was simply no other feasible explanation for her still being alive and well.
If it ever reached the ears of those with malicious intentions, well, the Devilduke family would likely disappear without a trace the following day.
However, for such a scenario to occur, the Sword Physique would have to be at a high enough level. It was for this reason that Fu Wen asked, "What is the Rank of this Sword Physique...?"
Everything hinged on this question, and if it was answered in an unsatisfactory way, then she might just need to make a drastic decision.
For the sake of the family...
Only for a moment, a trace of killing intent flashed past her dazzling eyes.
Lucifer noticed this phenomenon, but he decided to ignore it. After all, he planned to take advantage of her in a way worth far more than her miniscule amount of killing intent was worth.
'If this bitch is ruthless enough to dispose of me, then I feel even less bad about what I'm going to do to this stupid ass 'family' of mine.'
Lucifer inwardly smiled a cold smile—one that held who knew what sort of shitstorm for not only the Devilduke Family but the rest of the Fire Nation.
In spite of these well-deserved thoughts, he tightly clasped onto Fu Wen's dainty hands. As he locked eyes with her, he mumbled, "My Physique is only of the Early-Mortal Rank..."
"The Early-Mortal Rank..."
With the reiteration of these words, the killing intent hidden in Fu Wen's gaze vanished without a trace. It was instead replaced by a joyous expression.
In her mind, even though an Early-Mortal Rank Sword Physique was nothing to cry home about, it was still good enough to allow her nephew to shoot up like a rising star!
If he played his cards right, he might even be able to one day reach the Nascent Soul Realm!
In Fu Wen's eyes, such a mystical realm might as well have been an untouchable myth...
If she's able to get on good terms with such an existence, then she might be able to one day break through the bottleneck that prevented her from achieving the Early Golden Core Realm!
With these intentions at the forefront of her mind, she looked toward her nephew with shining eyes.
