Chapter 6: Yang Guo's Revenge, the Zhang Family's Incestuous Secret
Time rewound, and Yang Guo called out to the system.
“System, are you fucking dead? You’re just going to stand there and watch them toy with my mother?”
“Host, the pain you endured in your previous life was far worse than this.”
“Then give my memories back. I want my cultivation unsealed so I can take revenge on that Zhang family. I want to cut off every cock they have and turn them into bald eunuchs.”
“Unsealing is impossible. That was your own request before you came to the Condor Hero world.”
“Then how can I unseal it?”
“When the host’s state of mind is complete in this world and his luck is sufficient, it will naturally unseal.”
Yang Guo fell silent. Looking at the countless top-grade Foundation-Building Pills in his storage ring, he took one out and swallowed it without even waiting for the system to stop him.
Yang Guo remembered the system had said the Five Great Masters of this world were roughly at the level of Foundation Establishment cultivators.
After the pill went down, Yang Guo only felt the spiritual energy inside the Foundation-Building Pill, through the energy-equivalence effect, transform into true qi and pour into every limb and bone.
After a flash of golden light, all the true qi his body had absorbed spilled back out, flowing toward the flickering golden interface in the air.
Yang Guo... “System, what are you doing?”
“Host, your luck is bound to me. Taking a Foundation-Building Pill is useless. You can only rely on your own opportunities to cultivate and raise your realm, or, to call it another way, unseal yourself.”
“Then how am I supposed to get revenge right now?”
“Host, please take one step forward.”
Yang Guo looked at it warily, completely at a loss. He only lifted his left foot.
“Ding. Congratulations, host, you have completed the sign-in quest and received one Five Great Masters Experience Pill, duration: a full day.”
“Good. A full day is enough.”
This time, with the Five Great Masters’ internal energy bolstering him, Yang Guo quickly ran to the Zhang residence. Without martial arts to support him, though, he took several nasty face-first falls along the way.
In front of the Zhang residence, Mu Nianci was propping herself up on the ground with her long sword. Landlord Zhang was just about to step forward and feed her the drug when Yang Guo grabbed him.
“You son of a bitch, you still want to drug my mother?”
Several third-rate guards jumped out, and Yang Guo knocked each of them down one by one.
Yang Guo picked up the unconscious Mu Nianci and leapt out of the encirclement. He did not want to tangle with them any further.
Back in Niu Family Village, inside Yang Guo and Mu Nianci’s little wooden hut, Yang Guo helped Mu Nianci sit down in the house’s only broken chair, then boiled water to wash her off.
Mu Nianci had not been drugged this time, and she slowly woke up. “Guo’er, are you all right?”
“Mother, Guo’er is fine.”
“Guo’er, Mother has wronged you. Mother is useless.”
“Mother, don’t worry. From now on, Guo’er won’t let anyone bully you again.”
“Guo’er, Mother... Mother is afraid I won’t last much longer. Listen to me. You have an uncle named Guo Jing. Go to Peach Blossom Island and find him. Go seek refuge with him. He and your father are sworn brothers, and he’ll take good care of you.”
If this had been the original Yang Guo, he would have pressed her about his father, but the transmigrator in front of her did not care about that at all.
“Mother, don’t worry. I’ll cure your illness. Here, take this.”
Mu Nianci looked at the plain-looking pill in Yang Guo’s hand and thought that the two of them were already so poor that Yang Guo naturally could not get his hands on anything good, but she did not want to disappoint her son.
The instant the pill went down, a cool current flowed along her meridians and through her whole body. Mu Nianci felt her eyelids grow heavy. She managed only to say, Guo’er, before sinking into a deep sleep.
“System, what is going on? Why is my mother still unconscious after taking the Foundation-Building Pill?”
“Host, this world has no spiritual qi. Spiritual power must be converted into true qi before martial artists can use it. Every martial artist who takes a Foundation-Building Pill needs forty-nine days of refinement.”
Yang Guo nodded. “But I can’t leave my mother here. I’m afraid she’ll run into danger again.”
“Host, the flying ship in your storage ring can be used.”
Yang Guo understood at once. Under the cover of night, he released the flying ship. A glazed treasure-crowned ship, over a hundred zhang long and several dozen zhang wide, slowly rose into the air.
“Host, where are we going?”
“To the Lu family manor in Jiaxing. If I remember right, the real driver of the first Condor Heroes storyline isn’t Huang Rong, but Lu Zhanyuan. Their family is about to have trouble.”
“Then are we going now?” The system’s golden frame flickered in the air.
“Wait. Stay on the flying ship and watch my mother. I still have something to do.”
Yang Guo tapped the system panel’s manifest button, and a fluffy little white ball, about the size of a cat, dropped to the ground.
“Heh, this system form is pretty cute.”
Yang Guo rubbed the white fluffball once, set it by Mu Nianci’s bed to keep watch, and then headed to Landlord Zhang’s house.
The Zhang household.
Landlord Zhang was sitting there with a furious expression while his concubine, Lady Li, applied a poultice to his face.
“Ow, old master, who beat you up like this?”
Landlord Zhang was furious. “Yang Guo, just wait until I catch you. Once I do, I’ll...”
“You’ll what?”
Yang Guo kicked the doors of the Zhang residence’s main hall open.
“I’ll, I’ll call you Dad...”
With a thud, Landlord Zhang dropped to his knees, and his son Zhang Xiaobao also knelt in fright.
Yang Guo laughed to himself. The Five Great Masters’ power had not yet worn off. He had just flattened the guards in the courtyard, and now these three in the main hall were trembling like leaves in the wind.
“Landlord Zhang, how should we settle the matter of you humiliating my mother?”
“What? Young Hero Yang, spare me! Clearly your mother came to settle scores with us and beat my men badly. How would we dare bully your honored mother?”
Yang Guo frowned. Only then did he remember that at this point in the timeline, Landlord Zhang apparently really had not yet drugged Mu Nianci. All that rage had nowhere to go, and somehow he had ended up as the bad guy.
But when Yang Guo swept his gaze over Lady Li’s face, an evil thought rose in him, and he said,
“Landlord Zhang, why is this concubine of yours so much younger than you? She looks to be only about thirty.”
Landlord Zhang was already terrified stiff. Looking at the courtyard full of dead and wounded guards, he immediately understood what Yang Guo was implying.
“Young Hero Yang, my first wife passed away early and left no children. Lady Li is my second wife. If Young Hero Yang has taken a liking to her, I am willing to give her up.”
Beside him, Zhang Xiaobao’s eyes went wide. “Father, how can you hand over Mother...”
Lady Li was just as stunned. She had thought that after bearing Zhang a son, he would look on her differently. Now it was obvious that, at the point of life and death, she was nothing more than an object.
Yang Guo said nothing. He drew the sword in his hand and, with one stroke, sliced off the old man’s manhood.
“You old bastard, how dare you humiliate me? You think you can dump your used-up slut on me and make me take over your mess?”
Landlord Zhang’s blood immediately gushed out in a torrent. Clutching his lower body, he cried, “Young Master Yang, spare me, spare me! Whatever you want, I’ll pay you back with all my family assets.”
Yang Guo said, “Fine. But I still have one more demand.”
