Chapter 25 Let’s Go Home!

“My brother… is dead?”

Hong Xiaoxian looked at Hong Jing, who had died miserably, and his mind went blank.

He could not accept that his brother, who was like a god to him, had died.

“Impossible! This is impossible!”

Hong Xiaoxian screamed like a defeated dog whose tail had been stepped on.

His face was pale, his hands and feet trembling as he tried to get onto the ring.

BANG!

Hong Xiaoxian, who was about to move forward, blacked out. His face seemed to have hit an unshakable mountain.

He saw stars and fell back, nose bleeding.

“I won.”

Shen Ran wiped his chest that Hong Xiaoxian had bumped into, his face expressionless.

“My brother can’t have lost. It was all an illusion! An illusion!”

Hong Xiaoxian sat on the ground, his nose bleeding and tears flowing uncontrollably. He screamed and yelled at the top of his lungs.

Until Shen Ran’s fingers slowly clasped his head.

Hong Xiaoxian’s body tensed up, and a chill ran from his tail bone to his head. Only then did he regain some composure.

He felt the five fingers gripping his skull tighten.

The increasing pain made him kneel down and beg for mercy.

“Senior Brother, the person you’re fighting with is my elder brother, not me. It has nothing to do with me!”

“I apologize for offending you before! Don’t you like my maid? I’ll give her to you!”

“And all my wealth. I can give it to you!”

“Please let—”

BANG!

With the sound of a head being crushed, Hong Xiaoxian’s shrill voice stopped.

BANG!

Another thud.

It was the sound of Hong Xiaoxian’s headless body falling to the ground.

He circulated his spiritual energy to his palm and shook away the bloodstains.

Only then did Shen Ran walk to the maidservant and take her hand. He said softly, “You’re with me from now on. Let’s go.”

The future Empress Divine Phoenix will become my maid.

Just the thought of it was exciting!

“Yeah.”

The future Empress Divine Phoenix had yet to recover from the few seconds of immense shock. When she heard Shen Ran’s voice, she instinctively responded.

Until they walked out of the viewing area of the ring

Hearing the intense discussion of the people behind her, the maidservant suddenly came to a realization.

She looked at Shen Ran in front of him with shock.

This young man had just killed the chief disciple of the Eighth Summit for her!

“Why?”

The maid spoke softly.

Because you’re the future Empress Divine Phoenix… Of course, Shen Ran wouldn’t say that.

“Because no one is born inferior. I can’t stand the way they bully you.”

Shen Ran looked back and asked with a smile, “My name is Shen Ran. I still don’t know your name.”

“Young Master Shen Ran, my name is Yueshuang.”

Yueshuang stopped in her tracks and bowed seriously to Shen Ran. “Thank you, Lord Shen Ran, for everything you have done for Yueshuang! I will serve you well!”

Shen Ran frowned. “I told you, I killed them because I couldn’t stand them. Not for you, but for myself!”

Yueshuang was stunned on the spot. “Lord Shen Ran, so you don’t want Yueshuang anymore? Then what path do I take…”

“That’s not what I meant.” Shen Ran held his forehead helplessly. “I mean, I can make you my maid, but that’s only your job. Other than when you’re working, Shen Ran and Yueshuang are equals! No one is higher than the other!”

“Is it really… all right?”

Yueshuang looked incredulous.

She was born into a poor family.

Because her father was a gambler, and incurred a mountain of debt.

In order to return the money, Yueshuang had been sold off to someone else as a maid at the age of eight.

She had been taught from a young age to remember that she was a servant, a slave, and would always be inferior to others.

She had to be cautious and prudent to everyone.

In the past ten years, no one had ever said that we were all equals like Shen Ran.

“But of course!”

Seeing that his words had increased Yueshuang’s impression of him, Shen Ran smiled.

He walked up to Yueshuang and grabbed her shoulder. “You can call me Shen Ran, but don’t call me Lord Shen! I don’t like that.”

“Shen… Shen Ran.”

Yueshuang stammered and tried several times before she could say Shen Ran’s name in full.

“Yes, that’s it.” Shen Ran silently encouraged her and then asked,

“Your name is only Yueshuang? No last name?”

At the question, Yueshuang thought again of the man who had abandoned her at the age of eight.

“I have no last name … and no home …”

Yueshuang’s eyes dimmed.

“Then you can take my surname from now on. Shen Yueshuang, this name sounds pretty

good.”

“How can that be!” Yueshuang looked up, her eyes filled with shock.

Shen Ran smiled and said, “Because I lost my family a long time ago and grew up alone. I haven’t experienced the feeling of having a family yet. Are you willing to be my family?”

Yueshuang looked into Shen Ran’s sincere eyes and confirmed that he was not lying.

A thick warmth spread from the bottom of her heart.

For the first time, someone was willing to protect her.

For the first time, someone said they were equals.

For the first time, someone asked if she would like to be his family.

“I … do.”

Shen Yueshuang’s reply was as soft as a mosquito.

(This is a young girl who looks ordinary and has been bullied all the time. In the end, she was saved by the young man with the sacred bone. In fact, she has the bloodline of the Ancient Divine Phoenix Empress. On the day her bloodline awakens, she will be peerless and become the Supreme True Emperor. She will inherit the title of the Divine Phoenix Empress and become the strongest right hand man of the young man with the bone!)

Seeing the change in Shen Yueshuang’s voiceover introduction, Shen Ran smiled and said, “Let’s go home!”
