Chapter 470, In the Future, Be a Good Dog of My Ning Family

However, as soon as she stepped into the outside world, a sense of crisis immediately surged in Ye Wuxian’s heart.

 

It was almost instinctive. Her Heaven Incinerator Spear appeared in her hand, and she thrust it forward.

 

A Fire Emblem also instantly appeared, attaching to the spear tip, and was launched together with the strike.

 

*Boom!*

 

After a loud explosion, Ye Wuxian felt half of her body holding the spear go numb. There was no longer any sensation there.

 

Her body flew backward, blood gushing wildly from her mouth.

 

As for the Heaven Incinerator Spear, it had already left her hand, flying into the air, spinning as it fell and embedding itself in the ground.

 

Ye Wuxian knew she had encountered serious trouble. In that brief exchange, she was completely outmatched.

 

She did not even know whether her opponent was a Monster or a Player before she was directly blasted away.

 

She had already sustained significant injuries in the Earth Core Magma Cave, and combined with extreme fatigue, she could not exert even half of her strength.

 

The opponent’s strength was clearly abnormal. Even at her peak, Ye Wuxian feared she would not be a match for a single exchange.

 

Faced with such a great disparity in strength, Ye Wuxian felt for the first time how weak she truly was. To survive, her only option was to escape with all her might.

 

As for counter attacking, that was out of the question.

 

But who exactly was the opponent, and why would they appear outside a Map Resource owned by the Ye Family?

 

Ye Wuxian endured the intense pain in her body and used Flight to stabilize herself, landing on the ground without appearing too dishevelled.

 

After landing steadily, she immediately looked up in the direction she had just come from.

 

However, there was no one there.

 

Looking further ahead, Ye Wuxian saw a group of people standing not far away. Besides Huang Yingheng and some members of the Ye Family, there was a midget crouching on a wooden chair.

 

This midget was looking at her with a playful smile.

 

Ye Wuxian was slightly confused, not knowing who this midget was. But she knew that none of these people had attacked her just now.

 

In that case, where was the person who had attacked her?

 

Ye Wuxian suddenly noticed with her peripheral vision that she was currently being enveloped by the shadow of an enormous figure.

 

[Behind me!?] Ye Wuxian was greatly alarmed and was about to dodge, when rushing sounds came from both her left and right sides.

 

Almost as soon as she moved, two powerful gusts pinned her down from both sides.

 

*Puff!* Ye Wuxian could not dodge in time and was struck by the two gusts. She fell to her knees, spitting out large mouthfuls of fresh blood, almost fainting from the strike.

 

The air around her suddenly distorted, as if a large hand had grabbed her, lifting her into the air.

 

The intense pain kept Ye Wuxian from fainting. She turned her head with difficulty and saw that behind her stood a purplish-black giant covered in Talismans, bound with iron chains.

 

This giant reached out, seemingly possessing psychic powers. The giant merely grasped empty air, but it made Ye Wuxian feel as if she was truly being held up by him.

 

Ye Wuxian was firmly controlled by this unknown Skill. Her body was squeezed tight, occasionally making sounds as though her bones were breaking.

 

The immense pain made Ye Wuxian involuntarily scream, but what concerned her most at this moment was not the physical pain, but the information displayed above the giant’s head.

 

Zhuang Meng, Fourth Profession Mountain Breaker (Ghost General), Level 100

 

After seeing the name ‘Zhuang Meng’, Ye Wuxian guessed the other party’s background. [A Second Tier Ancient Noble Family. Must be the Ning Family!]

 

Ye Wuxian was well aware of the incident when the Zhuang Family was annihilated years ago. For a Third Tier Ancient Noble Family, the Ning Family was definitely an existence they could not afford to provoke.

 

[But why is the Ning Family here?]

 

On the other side, seeing Ye Wuxian get defeated in a single exchange, Huang Yingheng watched with trepidation.

 

At the same time, he knew that his conjecture was correct.

 

Even an expert like Ye Wuxian was defeated in one move; Level 100 Players were indeed not to be trifled with…

 

Huang Yingheng could not help but tremble all over, becoming more respectful toward Ning Tu, saying, “Young Master Ning, this is our Ye Family’s Young Mistress, Ye Wuxian.”

 

“Hmm, I know.” Ning Tu looked at Ye Wuxian without much concern. “A Fourth Profession Player walking out from the mine. It could have only been the Young Mistress. Seeing her poor condition when she came out, she must have suffered quite a bit in the Earth Core Magma Cave. If so, she must have harvested quite a few Earth Cores. Although I’ve been delayed, at least I can complete my task when I return.”

 

Huang Yingheng smiled ingratiatingly and said, “Of course. Why don’t you have your Puppet release Miss Ye? I’ll explain your identity and the purpose of your visit to her. This way, you’ll have fewer troubles…”

 

“No need!” Ning Tu waved his hand, interrupting Huang Yingheng’s words. “For this kind of matter, I’ll handle it myself. It’s just a matter of saying one thing: if she agrees, your Ye Family will mine well for my Ning Family in the future. If she doesn’t agree, I’ll simply kill her. A Level 96 Fourth Profession Player, and a beauty at that. Turning her into a Puppet is a good option for me either way – be it for battle or pleasure.”

 

Saying this, he jumped down from the wooden chair, hands behind his back, and approached Ye Wuxian.

 

Huang Yingheng, with a worried expression, followed behind, only hoping that Ye Wuxian would not show an attitude toward this midget from the Ning Family. Otherwise, the Ye Family would surely follow the same fate as the Zhuang Family.

 

Ning Tu came before Ye Wuxian, looking up at her, held up in mid-air, and said with a playful expression/ “You’re the Head of the Ye Family, right? Hehe, the Head of a Family, going down to the mines in person. This is truly my first time seeing such a thing.”

 

Faced with this mockery, Ye Wuxian’s eyes showed rage, but the pain in her body prevented her from saying anything.

 

Ning Tu continued, “I’ve been waiting for you here for several days. Finally, you’ve emerged from the Earth Core Magma Cave. I won’t waste any more time and will directly state my purpose.”

 

Saying this, he pointed at Zhuang Meng and said, “This is the former Head of the Zhuang Family. I believe you have heard of him, right? He is now my Puppet, and I am the Second Son of the Main Branch of a Second Tier Ancient Noble Family, the Ning Family.”

 

“Previously, the Earth Cores from this Earth Core Magma Cave were all mined by the Huang Family and sent to my Ning Family. Now that the Huang Family is gone, and the Earth Core Magma Cave has been occupied by your Ye Family, you will serve their purpose instead. My Ning Family is not unreasonable, after all. We naturally won’t do anything to your Ye Family. Like the Huang Family, you only need to express your sincerity to the Ning Family and promise to send all the Earth Cores you mine to the Ning Family from now on.”

 

“In short, the Ye Family will be under our Ning Family. Isn’t this a joyous occasion for you?” Saying this, Ning Tu smiled and controlled Zhuang Meng to release Ye Wuxian.

 

The invisible force dissipated, and Ye Wuxian fell to the ground, gasping for air.

 

Ning Tu looked down at Ye Wuxian on the ground, smiling. “The previous attack was just to teach you a lesson. After all, each Ancient Noble Family has its own power and pride, and if I asked you to mine for my Ning Family, you probably wouldn’t agree without me showing the consequence.”

 

“But now, knowing the difference in strength between you and my Ning Family, I think you should know what to do, right? I heard from your Ye Family members that you’ve been personally mining in the Earth Core Magma Cave for several days, and you should have harvested quite a bit.”

 

“Hand over all the Earth Cores you have gathered. In the future, be a good dog for my Ning Family. Or else, I’ll crush you with a single finger. A mere Third Tier Ancient Noble Family need not even consider resistance.”
