WHAT! I Have To Kill Heaven's Son To Live!-Chapter 191: Which Bastard Did This To Me?!

Reon had personally escorted the rescued villagers through the dangerous forest, guiding them safely to its outskirts.

There, under the morning sun, he handed each of them a pouch containing 100 gold coins—enough to support their families comfortably for a few months.

The villagers all thanked him warmly. After a few final words, he turned and bid them farewell.

Two days later...

Reon trekked through the dense woodland once more. His destination loomed ahead—a mysterious cave hidden deep within the forest.

’It’s time to take another of Yang Lie’s golden chances... saving Xu Liang,’ he thought, a cold glint in his eyes.

Suddenly, a soft voice chimed from beside him.

"Brother Xue, where are we going now?"

Reon glanced down. Mei Lin was walking cheerfully at his side, her steps light and carefree.

"To a cave," he replied calmly. "Someone’s in danger. I am going to save her."

"Brother Xue is such a kind person," she said with a warm smile. "You’re always helping others."

Reon arched a brow, a faint sigh escaping him.

’Not really... I’m doing it for my own gain.’

He turned his gaze to her, his voice carrying a tinge of irritation.

"Alright, enough of that. Tell me this—why are you even following me this deep into the forest, Mei Lin?"

The girl blinked innocently.

"Why wouldn’t I? I serve Brother Xue now. I need to stay close so I can take care of you!" she said with a proud nod.

Reon’s brow twitched.

"I told you to go to Qinghe City with the villagers. I said I’d come for you in a week."

Mei Lin simply crossed her arms and pouted defiantly.

"No can do. Who’s going to take care of you this week, then?"

"Then what about your brother? Who will take care of him?" Reon asked, glancing sideways at her.

Mei Lin smiled confidently.

"We have a kind neighbor aunt who always looks after my brother when I go to work. And now that you gave us so much money, I handed it all to her. I’m sure she’ll take good care of him for a long while."

Reon nodded thoughtfully.

"That’s good to hear. But you do realize... I might have to fight people up ahead. Not just weaklings like those bandits, but much stronger opponents."

"Aren’t you afraid of getting caught in the middle of it all?"

Her expression faltered for a moment.

A flicker of fear crossed her eyes—but she quickly straightened her back, took Reon’s hand and forced a brave smile.

"W-Well, maybe a little... but as long as I’m with Brother Xue, I can manage!"

Reon glanced sideways and asked quietly,

"But what if I’m not the good person you think I am, Mei Lin? What would you do then?"

Without a second’s hesitation, she replied,

"That’s impossible. There’s no way Brother Xue is a bad person."

"No bad person would save nobodies like us from bandits... and then give each of them 100 gold coins—over 10,000 in total—just so they could find a job or start a small business."

She smiled softly.

"I can tell... Brother Xue is a kind person."

"Perhaps I only gave you that money so you’d owe me—and repay me with interest once you’re stronger." Reon said with a faint smirk. "Simple as that. So... what do you say now?"

Mei Lin didn’t flinch.

"If that’s what Brother Xue wants, then I don’t mind at all," she replied innocently, her eyes clear and sincere.

"I’ll help you with whatever you need. All you have to do is ask. After all... I serve you now, remember?"

He narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Didn’t you say you’d serve me just for a few years?"

She grinned.

"I’ve changed my mind. I’ll serve you for life. Any problem with that?"

Reon sighed in surrender.

"Alright, alright. You win. Do what you think is right—but always stay close to me. Don’t wander off."

Mei Lin’s eyes lit up with joy.

"Yes, Brother Xue!"

Reon glanced at her happy face quietly, his thoughts drifting.

’Is she clinging to me like this because she hasn’t received enough care or attention over the past few years? Yeah... it definitely is. After all, I was just like her once—back when I was a kid.’

He sighed inwardly.

’Well, it’s not like I mind her company. It’s just... I won’t be able to have sex with Cloudia while she’s around. Guess I’ll have to control myself for a while.’

After walking through the dense forest for a while, Reon and Mei Lin arrived at a place where... the ground was covered with corpses—some fresh, others already rotting.

The smell of blood and death filled the air, thick and heavy, making it hard to breathe.

Mei Lin’s steps faltered. She instinctively moved closer to Reon, clutching his hand tightly, her eyes wide with fear.

Reon narrowed his eyes, scanning the aftermath in silence.

’This must be where Yang Lie fought... and was utterly defeated.’

The silence of the place was unsettling—only the caw of distant crows and the rustling leaves dared break it.

He turned his gaze toward the treeline, senses sharp.

’That means the cave should be close...’

Moments later, his eyes caught a shadowed opening a few kilometers ahead, half-concealed by the overgrowth and jagged rocks.

A faint breeze carried a cold, unnatural chill from that direction.

Reon’s lips curved into a faint smirk.

’Found it.’ fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

...

Somewhere unknown, beneath the shade of a massive tree...

Yang Lie’s eyes slowly fluttered open. He groaned, sitting up with effort—his body aching from the battle, his skin crusted with dried blood.

Though the pain lingered, the wounds across his body had closed. His Heavenly Peerless Sword Body had already begun healing him, leaving only faint scars behind.

Still groggy, he muttered, "System... System. Where am I right now...?"

Ding!

A cold, mechanical chime echoed in his mind. A glowing panel appeared before his blurred vision.

[Warning: Mission failed. As a penalty for missing the objective, the system will be sealed for two weeks.]

Yang Lie froze. Then the memory hit him.

"...Oh right... the mission..."

His voice trembled—rage overtaking confusion.

"Damn it... Fuck!"

He slammed his fist into the dirt.

"Damn it... Damn it... Damn it all! I lost everything! All my treasured items... even the Automatic Danger-Sensing Teleportation Talisman... And now the system is sealed too?!"

His eyes burned with fury as he roared into the sky.

"FUCK! Which bastard did this to me?!"

He stood, trembling with rage, clenching his fists so tightly blood seeped from his palms.

"I, Yang Lie, swear upon my sword—I will find you. And when I do, I’ll tear you to fucking pieces."
