Chapter 4: Foolish Little Bean, Hate Me

Ye Family Ancestral Shrine.

With a loud "clang," Ye Xiao pushed open the hall doors and saw Ye Zhantian standing before the ancestral shrine, alone.

At this moment, Ye Xiao's entire body tingled as he asked in a trembling voice, "Grandfather, where is the Supreme Bone?"

"Oh? Xiao'er, you already know?"

Ye Zhantian turned around and nodded at Ye Xiao. "I know you're anxious, but don't rush..."

"Your grandfather has already investigated everything for you. Ye Fan, a common-born member of the Ye Family's main bloodline, lost his parents at a young age and recently awakened a Supreme Bone. He's now been sealed and imprisoned in the rear hall."

"Xiao'er, if you can integrate the Supreme Bone into your body and combine it with your Double Pupils, no one in the Ye Family will be able to compete with you in the Divine Son competition a month from now."

"Ye Fan, orphaned, Supreme Bone..."

Upon hearing this, Ye Xiao's eyes narrowed slightly, and the tension in his heart finally eased.

The surname matched, the name matched, and he was an orphan...

But they hadn't harvested the bone yet!!

"I refuse!!"

"Hmm?"

Ye Zhantian's expression froze as he frowned at Ye Xiao. "Xiao'er, do you understand what a Supreme Bone means? It means you'll become the most monstrous genius in the Three Thousand Dao States—invincible at the same level, a young Supreme Being!"

"The path of the Double Pupils is already invincible. Why would I need someone else's bone?"

Ye Xiao's expression was solemn, exuding confidence.

Though the Supreme Bone was precious, the thought of the ten-thousandfold reward return he'd receive for refusing made Ye Xiao feel... quite excited.

[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for breaking the villainous trope by refusing the Supreme Bone. Reward received: Primordial Dao Bone.]

[Would the Host like to bind with the Destined Child: Ye Fan?]

"Indeed..."

A sly glint flashed in Ye Xiao's eyes as he silently praised the system for being so brilliant.

Primordial Dao Bone!!

His grandfather had once told him that the Supreme Realm was merely the peak of the Three Thousand Dao States.

Beyond the Supreme Realm were the Emperor Realm, Immortal Realm, and Dao Realm.

The reason the Ye Family was called the Eternal Family was because a true Emperor-level ancestor had once existed within their bloodline—a genuine Imperial bloodline.

And the Primordial Dao Bone transcended the boundaries of living beings—it was a true Dao Bone!

"Bind!!"

[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for successfully binding the second Destined Child. Fortune boost +1%, 2/100.]

"Xiao'er... you..."

"Grandfather, there's no need to explain anything. I know what to do. Give me your interspatial ring."

Ye Xiao waved dismissively, snatching Ye Zhantian's interspatial ring and rushing toward the rear hall.

...

[Destined Child: Ye Fan]

[Golden Finger: Supreme Bone]

[Hidden Golden Finger: Chaos Divine Body]

[Template: Bone Harvest Awakening Flow]

[Identity: Common-born disciple of the Ye Family's main bloodline, inheritor of a True Spirit's teachings]

[Plot Direction: The Destined Child's Supreme Bone will be harvested, awakening the Chaos Body. He will escape the Ye Family, stumble upon a mysterious mountain village, receive the True Spirit's teachings, and become unmatched in this era.]

In the rear hall, Ye Xiao looked at the black-clad youth lying on the bed, his eyes deep in thought.

Although he had refused to harvest the bone and received the system's reward—a Primordial Dao Bone—Ye Fan had likely already guessed his fate after being sealed and imprisoned by Ye Zhantian.

Even if Ye Xiao were to release him now, it would be impossible to gain Ye Fan's trust.

However, a Chaos Divine Body could be a powerful ally for Ye Xiao.

Every villain needed loyal followers, right?

What better than having those followers be Destined Individuals?

Hehehe...

"System, as long as I'm the one giving away boons, regardless of when I give them, will the Destined Individual still trigger reward returns every seven days after opening them?"

After pondering for a moment, Ye Xiao made his decision.

Unlike Gu Mingyue, Ye Fan had no emotional connection to Ye Xiao—only hatred.

Therefore, if Ye Xiao wanted to earn this Destined Individual's loyalty, warmth alone wouldn't suffice.

By now, Ye Xiao had already devised a bold plan. If executed successfully, not only would he continuously reap rewards from Ye Fan, but one day, he might even make Ye Fan willingly follow him.

[Ding! In theory, yes.]

"In that case..."

From Ye Zhantian's interspatial ring, Ye Xiao selected a divine cultivation technique called Ape Demon Body Refinement Art, a Seven-Rank Foundation Pill, an upper-grade Dao Artifact known as the Dragon Imprisonment Cauldron, a spirit-grade ginseng herb, and numerous talismans and materials. He sealed them in separate interspatial bags, timing their release based on cultivation levels.

Based on Ye Xiao's assumptions, once Ye Fan awakened his Chaos Divine Body, his cultivation would skyrocket.

Even if Ye Xiao couldn't personally gift these boons to Ye Fan, as long as Ye Fan opened the interspatial bag periodically and used the treasures inside, Ye Xiao would continuously reap rewards.

(Spirit Treasures: Treasure Artifacts, Spirit Artifacts, Dao Artifacts, Saint Artifacts, Supreme Artifacts, Emperor Artifacts, Immortal Artifacts.)

(Cultivation Techniques: Martial Arts, Profound Skills, Secret Techniques, Divine Powers, Supreme Laws, Emperor Techniques, Immortal Scriptures.)

(Spirit Materials: Treasure Herbs, Spirit Herbs, Celestial Herbs, Immortal Herbs, Undying Herbs.)

[Ding! The System acknowledges your brilliance. You truly are shameless.]

"Little brother, bear with it. I'm about to enter..."

Ye Xiao approached Ye Fan and suddenly thrust his hand forward, accurately plunging it into Ye Fan's chest.

As a strand of spiritual patterns mixed with a trace of demonic intent descended, the golden bone in Ye Fan's chest turned black, completely concealed, its presence erased.

Cosmic Concealment Technique!!

This supreme skill, gifted by the system, could perfectly mask any presence.

This way, Ye Fan would believe that Ye Xiao had harvested his Supreme Bone, without affecting the plot progression.

Only through hardship and growth fueled by hatred would Ye Fan's divine body mature, making him useful to Ye Xiao.

As for the trace of Myriad Transformations Demonic Intent, it allowed Ye Xiao to always sense Ye Fan's location, preventing any surprise attacks.

Moreover, this demonic intent would serve as the key to taming Ye Fan.

My foolish little bean, hate me.

"Hiss... pain..."

Gradually, Ye Fan's face revealed confusion and a tearing agony, as if something had been forcefully inserted into his body.

Thankfully, the tearing came from the front rather than the back; otherwise, Ye Fan might have thought the Patriarch had some peculiar tastes.

Opening his eyes slowly, he stared at the gentle-faced, blood-stained youth before him, his pupils contracting sharply.

"My Supreme Bone..."

Ye Fan looked down at his shattered chest, his face pale.

It's gone!!

At this moment, he couldn't sense any fluctuations from the Supreme Bone and immediately understood what had happened.

"Ye Xiao!! You've taken my Supreme Bone?! You monster..."

"Slap."

Before Ye Fan could explode, Ye Xiao slapped him across the face.

"Blind rage is the most useless reaction. I've taken your Supreme Bone, but here's some compensation—pills, cultivation techniques. You're free to go."

Ye Xiao casually tossed the interspatial ring onto the ground, his expression remaining cold. "Of course, you can choose not to leave, but doing so might cost you more than just your Supreme Bone."

Ye Xiao smiled faintly, turning and walking away without sparing a glance at the murderous intent and hatred in Ye Fan's eyes.

"Why didn't you kill me..."

"Because I'm... kind."

Without looking back, Ye Xiao walked out of the hall and disappeared.

"Pfft."

Hearing this, Ye Fan clenched his fists, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

F*ck you.

In the eyes of Ye Xiao, the first-in-line successor of the Ye Family, a common-born disciple was no different from an ant.

The feeling of being ignored and toyed with made Ye Fan's heart burn with uncontrollable fury.

"Hum."

At this moment, Ye Fan's expression suddenly froze, his eyes gradually filling with shock and disbelief.

He could feel that in the place where his Supreme Bone had been removed, a wondrous and ancient chaotic energy was slowly awakening.

"What is this..."

Ye Fan swallowed hard, hesitating for a moment before bending down to pick up the interspatial ring. Enduring the pain in his chest, he fled madly from the Ye Family grounds.

Otherwise, if Ye Xiao or his grandfather discovered the secret within him, they would stop at nothing to seize his opportunity.

"Ye Xiao, wait for me. One day, in front of the entire Holy State, I'll rip open your chest, expose your ugly face, and take back everything that belongs to me."
