It was quite a welcome surprise to gather 400 life points from Bai Lin, considering that Yang Ming made no effort at all, but it was clearly not everything he could squeeze from him. There were still 600 points left - and Yang Ming thought long and hard about how to humiliate the hero.
Yes, he had a special mission issued by the system. The purpose of the mission was to make the hero feel desperate, which was not an easy task.
From the conversations, Yang Ming had already drawn a few conclusions about this hero character, Yang Ming clearly recognized the type of a person he was dealing with, and it made him laugh uncontrollably.
"Selfish, impulsive, and also a complete fool, since he can't face the truth," Yang Ming recalled the stereotypical heroes in his world.
And to his profound surprise, this hero has completely lived up to his name.
"Perhaps only such people can become heroes," Yang Min thought.
It shouldn't be any other way. Would the hero be friends with the demon king? The answer is no.
The hero himself is the personification of justice and righteousness, but only to himself and those around him, but to others he is no better than the devil himself. Kill, plunder, and rape, all in the name of justice.
This was one of the many reasons why Yang Ming did not want to be a hero. In order to survive, Yang Ming has no other choice but to devour all the heroes that stand in his way. And even if one of them hides and seeks him out afterwards, Yang Ming must already have the strength to confront the hero, he believed.
"My only way out," Yang Ming muttered as he headed for the exit of the room, assuming a calm expression on his face.
There was a beautiful performance ahead of us, with several people in the leading roles.
And in the next moment, the entire courtyard seemed momentarily plunged into silence. A man who could be considered a god, a man for whom everyone was willing to sell his own mother, and a man whom everyone wanted to be like.
"He showed up!" - just one thought seemed to stick with all the people of the Shui clan.
'Yang Ming!'
Looking at his appearance, many felt ashamed of their own appearance, and this applied not only to men, but also to women. As if only the word "perfect" could describe Yang Ming's beauty.
He had long black hair that fell down from his shoulders; golden eyes that glittered not only with wisdom but also held a vast expanse - a deep ocean in which one could only assume how many mysteries were hidden. His figure was like a carved statue without any blemish.
Even from his clothing, one could tell that this man's background was of unfathomable status. He did not wear white clothing, which might have shown a phantasmal or unattainable being; on the contrary, all of his garment was black.
The patterns on his black clothes appeared as if woven with gold, and you could see the pattern on the sleeves, which depicted a mighty being akin to a dragon.
The silence lasted for a long while, and the first one to break the silence was Yang Ming himself. He smiled softly, looking at Bai Lin, before he began to speak:
"Before I arrived in the lower realm, I had not the slightest desire to come to this clan. But because my subordinate was quite helpful, I decided to thank him for it by coming here. Not a day goes by that I am accused of something I did not do and certainly do not intend to do, but tell me: how should I thank you for it?"
After Yang Ming's words, many members of the clan swallowed dryly, looking at Bai Lin with hatred. It was all his fault. The patriarch wanted to say something, but before he could utter any words, Yang Ming continued speaking:
"I am accused of stealing and trying forcefully take a girl who is soon to be married, is this true? - Yang Ming shifted his gaze from Bai Lin and redirected it to the crowd of people who were near his courtyard.
Under pressure, many nodded silently, for it was indeed true, the whole clan heard Bai Lin shouting his fiery speech.
"This situation is funny, no, you're funny. What a pity, I don't want to kill you! Think about it for a moment: if there's a woman in the lower realm who wouldn't want to sleep with me? My looks, my background, everything about me could be considered a magnet for women, so if I really wanted her in my bed could she refuse?
Hearing Yang Ming's first words, many felt a chill run down their spine, they felt as if they had dodged a bullet, but his words were indeed brutal.
"He didn't kill us just because he didn't want to?"
They were speechless, they were alive only because Yang Ming didn't want to kill anyone. He was like a judge, jury and executioner who decided their fate based on his whims.
"Even when I was in the highest realm, there were few women who could refuse me. And believe me, they are a thousand times more beautiful than many of you, but that was not enough for you, so you decided to say that I was in cahoots with the patriarch of this clan to make his daughter serve in my bed tonight."
Many people immediately guessed to whom these words were addressed, while Bai Lin, who was silent in the crowd, clenched his fists, believing all of Yang Ming's words as lies to justify both himself and the clan's patriarch.
"You didn't even ask the girl about it and started screaming like a pig being carried to slaughter without even understanding the situation, what is ignorance if not this? Or were you trying to get my attention to you so that you could grovel like a dog beneath my feet for a chance to serve me? But, too bad, I don't need a lousy dog like you.
Words full of mockery began to emerge from Yang Ming's lips, his plan of humiliation slowly coming to come to fruition. Looking at Bai Lin, who was still silently staring at him with a hateful look, Yang Ming realized that he was still in control.
"This man is pretty funny. If he's not stupid, he should have realized by now to whom I was addressing all the words I said. So why doesn't he say anything? He's supposed to be impulsive!"
This was the first time Yang Ming tried to humiliate a hero publicly, so he missed a lot.
At first he thought that the hero would behave overly impulsive, making righteous speeches, and afterwards he should have challenged Yang Ming, saying something like, "Suppress your level of cultivation to the same level as mine and fight like a man!" but he seemed to be wrong.
"But I already know one of your weaknesses," Yang Ming grinned, looking at Bai Lin's face.
"But one thing I want to confess to you: even before I came to this clan, I had already slept with Shui Han Yin."
After his confession, everyone turned their disbelieving eyes on Shui Han Yin in silence.
