I had just closed my eyes when Nie Xiaochun kicked me to the ground, directly pinning Ye Yang underneath me.

Ye Yang and I were face to face, wide-eyed and stacked on top of each other. Thankfully, we didn't kiss, or I'd have no face left to show anyone.

I was straining my neck, trying not to touch Ye Yang, when Nie Xiaochun kicked me again, sending me rolling twice around: "If I don't beat you to death today, consider yourself lucky to be breathing."

That day, I realized for the first time that Nie Xiaochun's feet were so big, and that her big feet hurt like hell when they kicked.

With my acupoints sealed by Ye Yang, I could only take the beating. My only hope was that Nie Xiaochun would switch targets.

When I desperately looked up at Ye Yang, I saw him wriggling like a worm towards the door: "No! Ye Yang's trying to run!"

"I'll beat you to death first!" Nie Xiaochun didn't even look at Ye Yang.

Before I could say anything else, I saw a small, fair hand reach in from the doorway, grab Ye Yang by the collar, and drag him out.

Xiao Kui had come to save Ye Yang!

I'm a father too!

Why doesn't Xiao Kui save me?

A moment later, Xiao Kui ran over and gently tugged at Nie Xiaochun's sleeve: "Sister Xiaochun, wait a minute!"

Having a daughter is great!

Finally, someone's here to save me!

Just as I felt a little warmth in my heart, Xiao Kui's words took a turn for the worse: "Handsome Daddy said: you can't beat him too badly, or he won't be able to do his mission."

"At your current strength, Daddy's physical defense can only last for half an hour. After that, he'll get hurt."

"Fine!" Nie Xiaochun squeezed out a few words through her teeth: "I'll just beat him for twenty-nine minutes."

"Ye Yang, you bastard—" I screamed at the top of my lungs: "I swear I'll never share the same sky with you!"

I'm so done with life!

Ye Yang ran away!

My little padded jacket is leaking air! (referring to his daughter)

More importantly, Nie Xiaochun was furious!

Why am I so unlucky? Is the feng shui of Liangjie Tang (Two Worlds Hall) incompatible with my fate?

Nie Xiaochun didn't stop until she was tired, then she dragged me to the sofa. I said weakly, "Why didn't you hit Ye Yang?"

"I'm tired of hitting! I'm not hitting anymore!" Nie Xiaochun's words completely knocked me unconscious.

The difference!

I couldn't see where I differed from Ye Yang?

Ye Yang didn't give me a chance to find the difference. He fed me some medicine for my injuries and began listening to Nie Xiaochun's secret orders.

Nie Xiaochun solemnly took out a sealed secret box: "This is a secret box sealed by the two Divine Lords themselves. The seal can only be opened with the Nine-Ring Life Severing Blade refined by Divine Lord Fan."

Bai Wuchang's (White Impermanence) real name is Xie Bi'an, and Hei Wuchang (Black Impermanence) is Fan Wujiu.

Nie Xiaochun was addressing Hei Wuchang as Divine Lord Fan.

Ye Yang couldn't help but sit up straight: "What level of secret order is this, and why is the defense so tight?"

"Xuan Level Order!" Nie Xiaochun added: "Divine Lord Fan said: This secret order should have originally been one of the Di Level Orders."

"Recently, the Underworld has downgraded the last ten Di Level Orders to Xuan Level Orders, and you just happened to be assigned one of them."

The secret orders issued by the Underworld to the Yang Jian Jie Ming Ren (Yang Jian Life Borrower) are divided into four levels: "Tian (Heaven), Di (Earth), Xuan (Mystery), and Huang (Yellow)." I heard Nie Xiaochun say that there is always a saying in the secret orders: "Tian One, Di Three, Xuan Five, Huang Seven," which means that among the Life Borrowers who execute the Huang Level Order, up to 70% can return alive, while the Tian Level Order is a near-certain death.

Doesn't this mean that someone wants us to risk a Di Level Order while only getting paid for a Xuan Level Order!

My face immediately darkened: "I won't accept this secret order!"

Nie Xiaochun shook her head and said, "The two Divine Lords knew you wouldn't accept this secret order. They said they tried to argue against it, but it was no use. The Underworld still issued the secret order, and you can't afford the consequences of a Life Borrower refusing an order."

"The other party is using tricks within the rules, and they can't change the rules of the Underworld, but..."

Nie Xiaochun changed the subject: "The two Divine Lords have managed to get you some benefits. They said they would never let their disciples suffer."

Although I felt a warm surge in my heart, I still shook my head and said, "This isn't about benefits, it's about swallowing my pride."

Nie Xiaochun said with some difficulty, "Lord Xie has already slammed the table with the Underworld for this matter, and Lord Fan has even hit someone. If you don't accept the secret order, it will be really difficult for them."

Nie Xiaochun cut me off before I could speak: "The two Divine Lords said, let you do whatever you want, and they will cover for you no matter how big the trouble is."

My face darkened as I said, "I'll accept the mission. Tell the two Patriarchs that if there's a chance, I'll get back their unhappiness in the Yang Realm (mortal realm)."

"The Black and White Impermanence roam freely in the Underworld, and their disciples will never suffer losses in the Yang Realm."

Only then did Nie Xiaochun take my Life Severing Blade, cut open the seal, and take out the Underworld's secret order from inside: "This mission is for you to retrieve the earth soul of Bai Hongzhen, the Grandmaster of the Tu Men Sect (Slaughter Sect)."

"Tu Men (Slaughter Sect)?" I frowned when I heard these two words, and when I heard the word "Grandmaster," my frown deepened even more.

Nie Xiaochun said, "There's also a personal request from the Divine Lords here, asking you to pay attention because there are also Life Borrowers among the Bai family's descendants. You may run into opponents."
