My wife who comes from a wealthy family-Chapter 876 - 877: The Shocked Ye Lingtian

Ye Wudao tore off the lightning collar around Long Mie’s neck, restoring his freedom!

Boom!

Long Mie transformed back to human form from his black dragon state, suddenly dropping to one knee, tears streaming from his eyes. "Old Ye, thank you!"

"We’re brothers; no need for formalities. Stand up!" Ye Wudao patted Long Mie on the shoulder.

Long Mie was moved, wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes.

He swore that in this lifetime, he would remain absolutely loyal to Ye Wudao!

No matter what happens, even if he dies, he would ensure that it happens before Ye Wudao!

"Long Mie, shall I kill him to help you vent your anger?" Ye Wudao pointed to Qiu Longtan, who was kneeling on the ground.

Ye Wudao was not someone who killed casually!

But the people from Evil Person Island were certainly not good people!

Having already slaughtered so many cultivators from Evil Person Island!

He wouldn’t mind adding Qiu Longtan to the count!

Qiu Longtan trembled uncontrollably upon hearing this!

"Ye, you, you can’t kill me! My father is Qiu Potian—if you kill me, even if you escape to the ends of the earth, my father will never spare you!" Qiu Longtan sought to leverage his background to threaten Ye Wudao. Pausing briefly, he continued, "Besides, I purchased this black dragon in the name of Evil Person Island! As long as it lives another day, it will remain private property of Evil Person Island!"

Hearing these words, the hesitating look in Long Mie’s eyes instantly turned icy!

He stepped toward Qiu Longtan, his burly frame emanating an oppressive dragon presence!

"You, you dare! I warn you—don’t come any closer!" Qiu Longtan’s face turned pale, his body trembling incessantly!

Long Mie raised his hand, unleashing a palm imbued with a terrifying black power, exuding formidable dragon energy capable of devouring all!

"This is my clan’s forbidden skill. Both my parents used it and died young! I once knelt before the heavens and swore I would never use it again! But you’ve forced my hand!" Long Mie’s eyes burned with fury as he launched his attack.

"Black Dragon Devouring Skill!"

"Ahhh!" Qiu Longtan screamed miserably as he felt the power within his body being relentlessly devoured.

"No, no, please, no!" Qiu Longtan’s face filled with terror!

"Die!" Long Mie roared angrily!

"Pfft!" Qiu Longtan spat blood, his eyes widened in horror, his pupils frozen as all life left his body!

On the other hand, Long Mie, having utilized the Black Dragon Devouring Skill, absorbed every ounce of Qiu Longtan’s life force. His cultivation unexpectedly surged, advancing to mid-stage Transformation Realm!

Whoosh!

Long Mie exhaled deeply, rapidly assimilating this newfound power.

"Gasp, this black dragon is terrifying!"

"It actually killed Master Qiu and absorbed all his strength!" exclaimed a Ten Thousand Beast Sect elder responsible for introducing the beasts to Master Qiu, his face stricken with fear.

Elder Huang next to him hurriedly said, "Young Master Ye, you must leave quickly! You’ve killed so many people from Evil Person Island, and this black dragon even slaughtered Master Qiu. Evil Person Island will never let you go!"

Long Mie looked ashamed and said, "Old Ye, I’ve dragged you down!"

"Nonsense!" Ye Wudao glared fiercely at Long Mie and said, "We’re brothers—fortune we’ll share, misfortune we’ll face together!"

Long Mie’s eyes reddened slightly, and he nodded solemnly!

"But Elder Huang is right. We should leave Ten Thousand Beast Sect ahead of schedule. Originally, I wanted to take a good look around!" Ye Wudao said, then suggested, "Long Mie, what are your plans now?"

"Old Ye, wherever you’re going, that’s where I’ll go from now on!" Long Mie said sincerely.

"Alright!" Ye Wudao nodded, patting Long Mie’s shoulder. "Let’s go; I’ll take you home. I need to release the beasts I purchased from Ten Thousand Beast Sect to guard the house, and I’ll also introduce you to my father!"

"Good!" Long Mie said with a smile.

Ye Wudao was about to turn around when he suddenly stopped and looked toward the nervous Elder Huang. "Elder Huang!"

"Young Master Ye, do you, do you need something?" Elder Huang stammered nervously.

"Please relay a message to the old rascal senior—that I had to leave first for personal reasons!" Ye Wudao said as he took out fifty Spirit Crystals. "Thanks!"

Elder Huang glanced at the Spirit Crystals and nodded heavily. "I will certainly pass on your message!"

Ye Wudao nodded and left the sect with Long Mie, heading back to the Ye family!

...

Capital City, the Ye family!

Study room.

"Big Brother, Wudao is back!" Jiusha hurried to report.

Ye Lingtian left the study room and immediately saw Ye Wudao walking with Long Mie!

"Son, back so soon from Ten Thousand Beast Sect?" Ye Lingtian asked curiously.

"Yeah, something happened there, so we came back early," Ye Wudao replied.

"Was it dangerous?" Ye Lingtian asked, his eyes filled with concern.

"Not a problem!" Ye Wudao replied with a faint smile. Suddenly, his eyes darted around, searching for Su Yueli’s figure. Unable to spot her, he asked anxiously, "Dad, where’s Yueli?"

"Barely home, and thinking of your wife already?" Ye Lingtian teased with a laugh.

Ye Wudao’s cheeks flushed.

"Big Brother, you need to cut the young ones some slack. We’ve all been through that age," Jiusha joked.

"Uncle Jiusha, you!" Ye Wudao murmured awkwardly.

"Haha, Jiusha is right," Ye Lingtian chuckled. "But if you’re itching to see your wife, you might not get lucky anytime soon."

"Dad, what happened to Yueli?" Ye Wudao asked nervously.

"Your wife has entered seclusion to prepare for her Nirvana!" Ye Lingtian replied.

Nirvana!

Ye Wudao froze as he recalled Su Yueli’s unique constitution—it was a Phoenix Body!

At certain intervals!

She would need to undergo Nirvana!

Seeing Ye Wudao’s tense expression, Ye Lingtian smiled and said, "Relax. Your wife told me before she went into seclusion not to worry about her. She specifically asked you to take care of yourself."

Ye Wudao sighed in relief and smiled warmly.

Ye Lingtian turned to glance at Long Mie and couldn’t hide his shock. "A mid-stage Transformation Realm cultivator!"

"Dad, I haven’t had the chance to introduce you yet!" Ye Wudao started to say.

However, Ye Lingtian quickly bowed politely and said, "I am Ye Lingtian, head of the Ye family. Greetings, Senior!"

’Thump!’ Long Mie suddenly knelt with both knees on the ground.

"Senior, why... why are you doing this?" Ye Lingtian and Jiusha were stunned.

"Adopted son Long Mie greets father!" Long Mie knelt down and gave Ye Lingtian a loud kowtow!

Boom!

Ye Lingtian froze as though struck by lightning, exchanging dumbfounded stares with Jiusha!

"Big Brother, what’s going on?" Jiusha couldn’t help but ask.

"I—I have no idea!" Ye Lingtian stammered, hurriedly helping Long Mie up. "Senior—oh wait, Long Mie, right? Why are you calling me father?"

"You’re the father of my brother, so you’re my father too!" Long Mie said earnestly.

Ye Lingtian couldn’t contain his delight!

Looking at Long Mie’s impressive and dignified appearance, coupled with his obvious integrity!

And as a mid-stage Transformation Realm cultivator!

Becoming his adopted son!

He was beyond satisfied!

"Good, good, stand up quickly!" Ye Lingtian said as he helped Long Mie up.

"Thank you, father!" Long Mie said gratefully.

"Good child, how old are you this year?" Ye Lingtian asked with a parental tone of concern.

"Reporting to father, I’m two hundred ninety-two years old..." Long Mie answered seriously.

Boom!

Two hundred ninety-two years old!

Ye Lingtian’s face was filled with disbelief. "Haha, adopted son, you sure know how to joke!"

"Dad, Long Mie is telling the truth. He’s almost three hundred years old," Ye Wudao interjected.

What?!

Three hundred years old!

Ye Lingtian glared at Ye Wudao. "Bullshit! Three hundred years—you’d be old enough to call your grandfather’s grandfather!"

Ye Wudao raised both hands, looking like an innocent child. "Dad, I’m not lying to you!"

Seeing Ye Wudao’s serious expression, Ye Lingtian exchanged a look with Jiusha!

"Big Brother, I’ve heard Transformation Realm cultivators can live several hundred years. It might be true!" Jiusha said.

"It’s possible, but this guy looks so young. I need to ask about his background!" Ye Lingtian thought aloud and then curiously asked, "Long Mie, where is your family?"

"Reporting to father, my home is on Dragon Island!" Long Mie answered honestly.

Dragon Island?

Ye Lingtian looked baffled and asked hesitantly, "I’ve never heard of Dragon Island. Are your parents still alive?"

"Reporting to father, both my parents passed away young. They didn’t even reach eight hundred years." Long Mie answered truthfully!

Boom!

Ye Lingtian and Jiusha were stunned again!

Eight hundred years!

Passed away young?

What kind of joke is this!

"Long Mie, I’ve never heard of anyone living to eight hundred years. Does your family have exceptional longevity genes?" Ye Lingtian couldn’t help but ask.

"Reporting to father, I’m not human; I’m a dragon!" Long Mie said earnestly.
