Dual Cultivation God Returns

Chapter 200 Fishing Plans

The love of the young miss and the retainer raised from an orphan was more scandalous in this noble family than in the small martial family in his past life. Adding some salt to the wound, it was uncovered in an explosive manner since the young miss was proposed to by the prince of the empire, who noticed her beauty, and she refused despite the ardent assistance of both the prince and her own family, finally confessing to her feelings for Wu Long and their budding relationship.

The prince's face in the memories brought a dangerous glint to Wu Long's eyes, as he had already killed a person with that same face and name once, along with a lot of other people.

The Wu family patriarch decided that since things were like this there was nothing that could be done, but it seems that not everyone was willing to put this to rest as Wu Long was subsequently made impotent by poisoning. Wu Mengqi announced that it would not hinder them but then, at the trial lands of the family, where each member of the family was brought when they turned 16, Wu Long was ambushed, ultimately being saved by the sect master of the Yin Yang Unity Palace, Lian Zhiqiu, who was wandering at the time and while passing by took an interest in him.

In a desperate attempt, one of the ambushers, a Soul Cultivator sealed his memories so that even if he survived and got away, he would not remember anything to return. That ambusher was subsequently killed by Lian Zhiqiu who was a step too late since she attacked to prevent him from succeeding. And because every Soul Cultivator had their specific way of locking seals there was then no one capable of safely unlocking it much to her dismay.

As he finished examining these memories, Wu Long's eyes became calm and serene, as no emotions could be perceived from the outside, but Ye Ling felt a slight shiver as she knew that under this tranquil surface, something dark and dangerous was lurking. She never feared Wu Long, since he would never bring her harm, so she was not scared of him now either, but the sheer thought of the state he was in brought a trepidation she never felt before.

"Some people just choose wrong, Ling'er"

He said with a light smile, and she knew that those words just made a verdict on the lives of people. She did not know how many and who they were, but she was certain they were already as good as dead. Because those were roughly the words he said before he started the massacre of people who hunted him and Wu Mengqi in the past.

She nodded to him with a kind smile, and sat down right beside him, placing her head on his shoulder and patting his forearm, wishing to soothe and at least partially alleviate the dark emotions swirling deep inside him.

His face gradually relaxed from an emotionless state to a kind smile upon feeling her touch, and he placed his hand atop hers, as they looked at each other and kissed.

In the evening, they all got together so that he could bring the others up to date with the situation they were heading into, and as they heard Wu Long's short narration anger and indignation flared up in their eyes.

"Are we going to wipe them out?"

Shen Min asked, lightly startling even Wu Long.

"Who?"

He asked with slightly widened eyes.

"The Wu family and the Imperial family"

There was a slight puzzlement on her face as she did not find any strange with her question at all.

"Heh, Min'er, I don't know yet what part of the Wu family is responsible completely, and I highly doubt the Imperial Family was involved deeper than the prince in question and, even if we went on a stretch, maybe one or two other Imperial Family members"

Wu Long chuckled at the readiness in Shen Min's eyes to start decreasing the population of the Wood Spirit Continent before even getting there, though he was a little pleased at her and the others' response to what happened to the younger clueless version of him.

The others who received a slight shock at her plan as well, dimmed down the flames of their anger to think a little more rationally since it was not like every member of the Wu family of the Imperial Family was guilty because of the actions of some of them.

"Then, how are you going to find out?"

Luo Mingyu asked the question they all now had since it was not like the culprits would just tell him when he returned.

"Hmm, that is a good question, I do not enjoy playing dumb so returning as a clueless idiot is out of the question, but if I do show them just how much of a threat I am it is not going to be as easy to get them to show their tails"

He said ponderingly, as he truly did not enjoy playing weak or dumb. Just stalling for time for Nie You to give up some information was already irritating, and that happened during a relatively short fight. To top it off, he ultimately disposed of him earlier than he found out everything since he did not tolerate the words he was going to say about his women. Playing a harmless young man who returned home for enough time for the culprits to make their move would be just plain torture.

"I guess I will have to find an information network like the Thousand Eyes Information Bureau which operates on the Wood Spirit Continent continent"

He shrugged his shoulders as he could not come up with a better way since not everything could be solved by power. There was almost nothing he could do to yank out those responsible if they were not absolute imbeciles who would not question how he returned and ran to attack him again or show hostility without any caution. And he did not feel like going on a killing spree to fish out the culprits.

While he was called the God of Slaughter, he did not really enjoy meaningless slaughter, even if he was not a righteous person. There were many times he committed mass slaughter, which was why he was called that, but it never was indiscriminate or without cause, however personal that cause might be. There were just too many people who gave him the cause.

"I mean I will still try to fish them out, and maybe I will get some clueless small fish, but I doubt that the big fat ones will come out to play"

He shook his head. He still planned to openly return, but his strength would be known very fast as long as there was even one idiot who would try to provoke him. And he did not doubt the existence of such people.

As the others went off to bed, Wu Long sat with Ye Ling who was with him to soothe the slightly turbulent emotions.

"Ling'er, you know you are too good to me, right?"

He said with a chuckle but sincerely as he felt her wholehearted devotion, giving her all to him without holding back a thing.

"Haha, you think I am doing this absolutely selflessly?"

She jokingly and playfully asked and he smiled as he saw a certain light in her eyes. He knew that she was trying to comfort him, and a warmth spread through his chest as he went for a tender and loving kiss she responded to.

Their kiss lasted for a long time, but it eventually started to grow more passionate and their breathing turned heavy. They stood up and while still kissing stumbled to the bed as clothes fell to the floor on their way.
