314 Extracting the Supreme Dragon Bone
Looking at Xiao Mingyan’s pained expression, the smile on Xiao Wuyou’s face widened. He even appeared slightly perverted.
“Why are you born high and mighty, possessing everything? The supreme dragon bone is yours; everything is yours. Meanwhile, I can only live in your shadow?”
“My good brother, it’s time for me to pity you. Look at you, covered in wounds. You need the best medicine to heal these injuries.”
Xiao Wuyou took out a bottle of elixir. The invigorating medicinal fragrance wafted in the air, but he poured it on the ground without any hesitation. The pale-colored liquid was instantly stained with dirt.
“This is the Spring Wind Dew. After drinking it, although it can’t completely cure you, it will make you feel much better. I think you won’t mind even if it’s a little dirty.”
Xiao Wuyou didn’t even try to hide the hatred and ridicule in his eyes. Xiao Mingyan had never thought that the brotherhood he practiced was just charity and pity in Xiao Wuyou’s eyes. The latter was actually repaying his kindness with such malice.
“Xiao Wuyou! I misjudged you!”
Even if Xiao Mingyan was in such a sorry state and in unbearable pain, he would definitely not lick the ground. Such an action would make him no different from a pig or a dog.
Xiao Wuyou snorted, “Xiao Mingyan, you’re really stupid. You still don’t understand why you lost to me. Don’t worry, I won’t take your life.”
He lowered his voice and whispered into Xiao Mingyan’s ear, “I’ll show you what hell on earth is like.”
Xiao Wuyou seemed to have imagined something fun and laughed extremely heartily. However, the malice in his eyes was like a man-devouring beast, causing people to shiver.
He said, “All these years, you’ve always been the top genius of Jade City. All the other geniuses have been living in your shadow. I’m sure many of them will be happy to see you in this state.”
He continued, “You don’t have to worry about the Xiao clan. Father and Mother have high hopes for me. Before this, everyone only knew that you, Xiao Mingyan, were powerful. Now is my time to shine. Your supreme dragon bone fits me perfectly.”
Roar!
A faint dragon’s roar could be heard in the air, and a golden dragon phantom circled around Xiao Wuyou, accompanying him as he gradually walked away.
The veins on Xiao Mingyan’s forehead popped out as he watched Xiao Wuyou’s silhouette disappear into the distance. He felt a fishy smell in his mouth, and he spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with his own flesh.
The supreme dragon bone had accompanied him for many years, but it had been extracted out of him by force. Xiao Mingyan was seriously injured and his cultivation level had dropped greatly. He did not have any healing medicine. He was even left to fend for himself in this dilapidated courtyard.
If it wasn’t for his strong will, he would have already met his end.
So far, apart from Xiao Wuyou visiting him, the head of the Xiao clan, Xiao Hong, and his mother had never appeared.
Xiao Mingyan mumbled, “It’s laughable that you act so cold towards your own flesh and blood.”
He laughed out loud, looking extremely sad.
Meanwhile, in the living room of Xiao Manor, Xiao Hong was furious.
The beautiful woman next to him was weeping. Even though she was already married and had children, she still looked like a young girl. She was a mix of purity and beauty. No wonder she was doted on by Xiao Hong for so many years. She was Xiao Wuyou’s mother, Liu Ruxue.
Xiao Hong chided, “You are so foolish! You actually dared to do such a thing while I wasn’t around.”
Liu Ruxue cried her heart out and retorted, “Every time I asked you, you always said that the time wasn’t right yet. I think you simply can’t bear to abandon your precious son, Xiao Mingyan. My poor Wuyou. He’s been weak since he was young. He was weak because he took up your misfortune on your behalf. You promised me that you’d help me get the supreme dragon bone. Since you couldn’t bear to do it, I helped you!”
There were no outsiders present at the moment. The information revealed by the couple’s conversation was shocking.
Xiao Hong couldn’t do anything about Liu Ruxue’s crying. He pulled her into his arms and comforted her, “Ruxue, how can you say such things? Of course, I love Wuyou, but Mingyan…”
Liu Ruxue interrupted him and said, “Xiao Mingyan has occupied the position of the Xiao clan’s young master for so many years, and I’ve never mistreated him all this while. Now, I only want some bones from him. He won’t die. What’s there to hesitate about? Besides, my son, Wuyou, has suffered so much.”
Xiao Hong seemed to waver. Liu Ruxue struck while the iron was hot.
“Wuyou is a good child. He became so weak because he shielded you from misfortune when he was young. We’ve discussed this before. The supreme dragon bone would only be stored in Xiao Mingyan’s body temporarily. Now that the time is ripe, Wuyou’s life will be over if he misses this opportunity.”
Even when Liu Ruxue was crying, she was still beautiful. Xiao Hong’s heart had softened from all her crying, but he didn’t see the ruthlessness under her beautiful face.
If it wasn’t for Xiao Wuyou being too young and weak to bear the supreme dragon bone in the past, Liu Ruxue would’ve snatched it from Xiao Mingyan long ago and the latter wouldn’t have had the chance to shine until now.
Liu Ruxue thought, “Xiao Mingyan is just a lowlife, how could he be worthy of competing with my son? After so many years, it is time for Xiao Mingyan to have a taste of what it’s like to fall from the heavens.”
“Father, Mother, what’s going on?”
Xiao Hong was pleasantly surprised when he sensed the powerful aura that Xiao Wuyou exuded.
“Wuyou, how are you …”
“Father, I am very compatible with this supreme dragon bone. It’s as if it was tailor-made for me. I think this should have belonged to me.”
“Good. That’s my son.”
If Xiao Mingyan were to hear this, he would probably cough up blood again.
Since it had come to this, Xiao Hong could not say any more. However, he felt a little guilty towards Xiao Mingyan.
Unfortunately for Xiao Mingyan, whatever guilt Xiao Hong felt was nullified after seeing Liu Ruxue and Xiao Wuyou.
