Chapter 678: Chapter 81: Shihai’s Illegitimate Child! Wronged_2

The solitary graceful silhouette dancing is quite splendid and beautiful. Yet when dozens of graceful silhouettes dance simultaneously, it becomes terrifying and heart-pounding, making one’s scalp tingle.

"Illusion? How can this be!" Wang Shihai’s face changed dramatically as he thought to himself that this was not good; today he had likely encountered a formidable challenge. Hastily, he prepared to swiftly retreat backward.

"Just now thinking of escaping? I’m afraid it’s too late." The icy, elegant voice of the woman softly sounded behind him, as a small butterfly—something everyone had neglected—was already behind Wang Shihai. In a distortion, the butterfly transformed into a woman wearing a veiled straw hat.

Sometime earlier, the jade flute was already pressed against the back of Wang Shihai’s head; as soon as her Profound Qi erupts, there’s no guarantee Wang Shihai’s head won’t explode like a large watermelon.

This is one of the illusion technique masteries from the Valley of Ten Thousand Butterflies lineage of the Longzuo Purple Mansion Academy, "Illusory Butterfly Divine Skill." It’s also the renowned technique of Lady Illusion Butterfly, the academy’s ascendant; once it’s executed, butterflies fill the sky gracefully, and as long as one butterfly remains alive, Lady Illusion Butterfly can continue living.

By the time her true form appears, the battle’s outcome is essentially decided.

As her proud direct disciple, how could she not have delved deeply into this divine skill?

However, she currently only grasps the surface of the "Illusory Butterfly Divine Skill." At Lady Illusion Butterfly’s level, its execution resembles minor divine techniques.

"Girl, show mercy." Wang Shihai, with fate in someone else’s hands, felt coldness engulf him, and hurriedly begged, "We have no old vengeance or recent grievance; please don’t..."

"Hmph!"

The woman laughed coldly, "If not for seeing you harbor no killing intent, how would you have any chance of survival? However, you may escape death, yet hardship is unavoidable."

As her last word "unavoidable" came forth.

Several ants about the size of a pinky finger had already crawled onto Wang Shihai’s body, without anyone knowing when they arrived. Their sharp, scissor-like pincers easily tore through his clothes, biting fiercely into his shoulder bones, with toxins injected into his body through the pincers.

"Ah!"

Wang Shihai roared in unbearable agony, falling to the ground and crying out miserably, "It hurts, it’s killing me, girl, just kill me."

Having lived all his life, he had never experienced such pain.

The clan soldiers and household generals all had their faces changing drastically, about to step forward to rescue him when the woman glared at them, immediately making them tremble as if faced with an unparalleled fierce beast, not daring to make a single move.

"Rest assured; he won’t die." The woman elegantly summoned the few black ants back with her jade-like hand, speaking calmly, "These are sawtooth poison ants from the Barbarian Border Wilderness. While unable to cause death to Spirit Platform Realm cultivators, they can inflict agony for twelve hours. Moreover, as time passes, the pain will intensify."

Wang Shihai, upon hearing this, nearly fainted outright.

The current pain had made him wish for oblivion. If it were to continue worsening, wouldn’t it be akin to experiencing the eighteenth layer of hell? This girl is indeed too cruel, too terrifying. Woe, I want to go home; Fourth Grandfather, save me.

"Miss, I’m wrong." Wang Shihai tearfully spoke, "You magnanimously forgive those who err; just spare me this time. If anything should happen to me, my Fourth Grandfather will never let you go; let’s each take a step back and act like nothing happened."

"Your Fourth Grandfather?" The woman arched a pretty brow, laughing coldly and saying, "Your Fourth Grandfather? Tell me more; let’s see if you can frighten me."

"My Fourth Grandfather is Changning Wang Family’s Clan Leader—Wang Shouzhe." Wang Shihai, amidst painful groans of suffering, gasped, "This foreign cement road beneath your feet was built by my Fourth Grandfather. Girl, I advise you..."

"Ridiculous!"

Outraged, the woman waved her hand, and several fist-sized menacing spiders appeared from nowhere, crawling onto Wang Shihai’s face as she chastised him, "You dare claim to be my Fourth Brother’s grandson; reveal your origin, or else don’t blame me for being ruthless."

"Huh? Fourth Brother? Ouch, please remove the spiders, remove them." Wang Shihai screamed miserably, shivering in his pain, "We’re family, we are indeed family. I truly am Wang Shihai, Wang Shouzhe is truly my Fourth Grandfather~"

"Nonsense, if you’re my Fourth Brother’s grandson, then I’m your Fifth Granny..."

"Yes, yes. You should be my Fifth Granny, Fifth Granny... please take the spiders away, then let’s talk. It’s too frightening, woe, I want to go home~~" Wang Shihai was somewhat breaking down. In their Southern Desert County, though fights happen, using spiders and ants in fights is unheard of.

He’s heard of Spirit Insect Masters, but the Southern Desert is not conducive to the mature development of Spirit Insect Masters.

"?" The woman hesitated, looking toward the clan soldiers and household generals. "Are you truly the Wang family’s patrol team? Do you have identity tokens?"

"Yes, yes." A household general hurriedly took out an identity token, respectfully handing it over, trembling as he spoke, "Fifth Granny, if you excel in Spirit Insect Binding, could you be our Wang Family’s academy celestial pride—Wang Luojing Fifth Granny?"

The household general was merely twenty-seven or twenty-eight, appearing to be at the sixth layer of Qi Refining Realm. And Wang Luojing, having left for the academy sixteen or seventeen years ago, rarely returned to the clan, even occasionally coming back primarily to reunite with family, rarely appearing in public.

Thus, it was normal for some young household generals and clan soldiers to not recognize her. However, Wang Luojing remains one of the legendary women among the Wang clan members and a point of pride.

Even Wang Shihai, who had only been staying with the Changning Wang Family for a few months, was extremely familiar with the reputation of the academy’s celestial pride Wang Luojing. Upon hearing this, Wang Shihai, while spiders still rested on his face, hurriedly shouted, "So you’re Wang Luojing; truly the great flood overturning the Dragon King’s temple—family didn’t recognize family."

After Wang Luojing shot Wang Shihai a glance, she inspected the household general’s identity token.

The card was a thin purple card, soft yet resilient, marked with the identity and position of the household general’s origin.

She quickly confirmed this household general’s identity.

Because one of the primary materials for crafting these identity tokens was extracted from the sap by worms she personally raised, later made through a series of processing techniques—difficult for anyone else to replicate.

Upon verifying the household general’s identity, Wang Luojing casually retrieved the spiders, releasing several silver needles to detoxify Wang Shihai.

Wang Shihai whimpered as he rose from the ground, still nervous and dodgy as he complained, "Wang Luojing, you were too ruthless; I..."

"Call me Fifth Granny," Wang Luojing spoke coldly.

"Alright, Fifth Granny!" Wang Shihai shivered internally, hastily sweetly calling her that. At this moment, how could he entertain even the slightest whimsical impulse toward her? His heart was filled only with fear.

Wang Luojing skeptically examined him up and down, "How old are you this year?"

"I am twenty-three years old this year..." Wang Shihai replied honestly.

"Truly a fine young celestial pride, but at this age..." With furrowed brows, Wang Luojing pondered silently; could it be eldest brother Wang Shouxin had a secret love child in his younger years, leaving behind a grandson now seeking to recognize his roots and return to the clan?

She mulled over it, and only her seventy-some-year-old eldest brother Wang Shouxin seemed to fit the bill. And sister-in-law Xu’s temperament isn’t good... Oh, this child, upon returning to the family, may face some grievances.

"Forget it, forget it. Earlier, it was your Fifth Granny acting impulsively." Wang Luojing’s tone softened suddenly, "If you encounter any troubles in the future, you can tell me, and I will stand up for you."

Grievances?

Wang Shihai widened his eyes; what grievances would he have? My greatest grievance, Wang Shihai, is the "favor" awarded by you, Fifth Granny. At the slightest disagreement, you unleashed ants to bite me, and spiders scared me...

Father, Changning Guard is dangerous, I wish to go home.
