Breaking the Engagement!

When everyone shifted their gaze to Shui Han Yin, she felt like burying her head into the ground, meanwhile her cheeks and then her whole face turned beet red. Some even noticed how her neck turned a bright pink color.

"She really did it!" - silently praised the patriarch of Shui Han Yin. Yesterday he tried to figure out how to get her to seduce or leave a pleasant impression in front of Yang Ming, but it turned out that he was worried for nothing.

"My daughter!" - he praised again.

Even though Shui Han Yin didn't say anything, everyone had already assumed that what Yang Ming said was true. She really had already been in his bed. Of course, everyone thought so except one person, and that person was, of course, the hero.

He believed that everything Yang Ming said was a lie invented between the patriarch and Yang Ming in advance, as if they had assumed that this could happen.

Watching Bai Lin's reaction, Yang Ming frowned slightly: he did not expect that this time, too, the hero would behave this way.

'What's wrong with him?' - Yang Ming was puzzled.

I mean, he bluntly said he was fucking his fiancée, and all he saw on the hero's face was a slight chuckle.

"System, can I commit violence against a hero?" - Yang Ming whispered softly so that no one could hear it.

He remembered that he couldn't, but he had to do something. If he didn't, the fish would slip off the hook.

*Ding!*

[ The user can physically harm the hero as well as his relatives if the hero has less than 500 life points left or if the hero bears grudge against you. ]

After the system's notification, Yang Ming was at a loss for words. When it first appeared, it gave out too many restrictions, but now it completely stated otherwise.

"What the fuck is this? Couldn't you have told me from the beginning!" - Yang Ming got a little angry.

In the beginning he had to spend a lot of time on devising cunning plans to humiliate the hero, but now it turned out to be much simpler than expected.

And most importantly, now he can be violent to his heart's content!

If it wasn't possible to hurt the hero, Yang Ming wouldn't know what to do. What was he going to do in case a hero took the initiative and attacked him first? Was he supposed to endure the pain or run away? It was too humiliating for someone like Yang Ming. But it looked like he was worried for nothing, now things were very different.

"Well, let's start the second round then."

Yang Ming's lips curved slightly up in the form of a smile. Some noticed that Yang Ming smiled, one could think that it was a gentle smile, but not everyone saw his smile that way, for some reason Bai Lin tensed slightly when he noticed it.

"Patriarch, I have a small favor to ask of you."

Upon hearing Yang Ming's words, the patriarch was slightly shocked; a man like Yang Ming wanted something from him, and it seemed to be something important.

"I know that Shui Han Yin was supposed to marry a trash named Bai Lin until recently, but that's a joke, right?

After his words, Bai Lin tensed, while the patriarch's nervous face changed, he now seemed to begin to understand what Yang Ming was getting at.

"Yes, the sixth elder and I made a marriage contract even before Shui Han Yin was born, but don't worry. Bai Lin turned out to be trash even from birth. And before you arrived in our humble clan, I wanted to break the engagement. And now I am more than sure that it is inappropriate to marry my daughter to a man like him."

"I, the patriarch of the Shui Clan, Shui Xiaoqing, break off the engagement between my only daughter and a trash named Bai Lin! As of today, the engagement that was made earlier is no longer valid," Shui Xiaoqing said excitedly, not even noticing that he called Bai Lin a trash.

Until that moment, Yang Ming had long wondered what he should do with Shui Han Yin. She was like a double-edged sword: let down your guard and you might not even know when you died. Lilith, who had killed Yang Ming's past self, seemed to be breathing down his back, so Yang Ming could not just wait for death to arrive. And for that reason he had a little plan for Shui Han Yin.

It was unclear who owned the body now - Shui Han Yin or Lilith, so Yang Ming decided to behave more carefully, but as they say keep your friends close and enemies closer.

It was necessary to find out who was now hiding under the guise of this shy girl - an ordinary person or a cold-blooded killer? Yang Ming really wanted to kill her, but he couldn't. The system made it clear that Shui Han Yin was a heroine. As said, she and Bai Lin in particular had 1,000 life points. Therefore, it was impossible to absorb her at least yet.

The system did not say what to do with the heroine; perhaps she also needed to be humiliated, or maybe there were other conditions to be met. Yang Ming did not want to act recklessly at all. And what's more, he began to suspect that when Shui Han Yin became closer to him, Yang Ming could get points without forcefully ripping them from her.

It was too tempting. If she could constantly provide him with free points, it would be too damn good of a deal, he thought.

Even though Shui Han Yin was a walking bomb, if used properly she might prove to be of great importance to him. He had to act friendly towards her while hiding his true intentions so as to not make her wary of him.

And Yang Ming isn't the same now as he was in the past. He wouldn't put himself in the same situation, he certainly wouldn't sleep with her, putting himself in a difficult situation.

He roughly calculated how Lilith's powers worked. She had to sleep with a man in order to devour him later, like a spider would devour its prey. She was like a succubus, sucking out the life force of a man who was at the mercy of his lust towards her.

'I will not sleep with her. Even if she attacks me, there is Shui Wai Tian, who is in the shadows, guarding me, so it is impossible for her to kill me. Even if he fails, he can buy me time while I escape."

'If it turns out that Shui Han Yin is completely useless to me as a tool, I'll just find a way to absorb her, and even if I can't, there will always be someone who can easily dispose of her.'

Having come to this conclusion, Yang Ming relaxed slightly, believing that the threat in the form of Shui Han Yin could be temporarily put aside for now.

After hearing the patriarch's speech, all the members of the clan were unsurprised. The breaking of the engagement should have happened a long time ago. Just as the patriarch said, it was only a matter of time. Even if Bai Lin had regained his strength and could cultivate, almost everyone in the Shui Clan hated him.

Of course, not everyone was happy about the breakup of the patriarch's promise, among them was Bai Lin, the Sixth Elder, and Bai Lin's mother.

Bai Lin, who stared dumbly at the patriarch with hatred in his eyes. The sixth elder, who did not like the fact that his son was publicly called trash, even though he could now cultivate, and his mother, who loved her son as a man much more than her own husband. She also did not like the way the patriarch and Yang Ming mocked Bai Lin and even broke off the engagement. But at the same time she felt a little complicated; she was pleased that Bai Lin was now completely free and could belong only to her.
