Infinite Clone System Made Me Too OP!

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.

So, in the end, she gave in to the ludicrous claims being depicted with gaudy hand gestures. Even so, she wished to meet this mysterious man who saved her life.

Upon which, Lucifer responded, "My Master?? No, that cannot happen! He is a very busy man, and even I, his favorite disciple, am not allowed to be in his presence very often!"

Lucifer dejectedly shook his head left to right, pondering the woes of being taught by a man too great for words.

Once again, Fu Wen found everything hard to grasp. But if this master of his wished not to be bothered, then she would let the matter go.

Instead of dwelling on something that she knew Lucifer would never openly disclose, she decided to ask a different question.

"Out of everyone in the Fire Nation and even the surrounding areas, why did this powerful man—above the Golden Core Formation Realm—decide that he wanted you as his disciple?"

This was the point that Fu Wen found most suspicious. After all, even though Lucifer had just recently started to show promise, it was highly unlikely that he would be able to garner the attention of someone in the Nascent Soul Realm.

Even so, Lucifer's response on this matter was one that cleared up all her doubts and queries. He said, "Well, I wanted to announce this at the next family banquet. But since you are the nicest and prettiest aunt I know, I will tell you right now."

Fu Wen was pleased with the false flattery of the young man. However, when she felt her body get pulled in his direction, a hint of anger welled up within her.

"You shouldn't pull a lady around like tha-" Lucifer interrupted her, saying:

"Listen, the truth is that I awakened a Sword Physique, and it was because of this Physique that my master took me as his disciple."

"A What!?" Fu Wen exclaimed, her voice loud and annoying.

'This Bigbutt whoever… She's so damn screetchy…'

Lucifer held himself back from telling the woman to shut up. Instead of speaking his mind, he said, "I awakened it less than a few months ago, and since then, I have been striving toward greatness! All to live up to the name and reputation of my master!"

"T-To have a Sword Physique, even the lowest grade one… That would indeed be capable of attracting the attention of a Nascent Soul Realm Expert… But to think that a genius like that was born in the Devilduke Family…"

Fu Wen started to incoherently mumble to herself, wondering what their next course of action should be.

By that, it meant that she was contemplating telling anyone else of this revelation.

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.
