Hearing Ye Ling's command, Li Xiao's face immediately showed difficulty, "Big, big brother, let alone whether I have the ability to clear out all the things in the house, even if I can do it, my dad has locked me in the room, and I can't get out!"
Ye Ling, however, smiled, "That's something you need to consider yourself. I've given you ample time. How you do it is up to you. But if there's even one internet-connected item left in this house after sunset, you and your father... will lose your heads."
Hearing Ye Ling's words, Li Xiao's face turned pale, and he trembled all over, his mind going blank!
Ye Ling was serious!
After issuing the ultimatum to Li Xiao, Ye Ling said no more, sitting down to regulate his breathing and completely conceal his aura.
The moment the mysterious black figure found Li Xiao, Ye Ling understood that on the current Eastern Xuan Continent, the remnants of the Corrupt Clan's spies were everywhere. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the Eastern Xuan Continent was a subordinate territory of the Corrupt Clan.
In such a place, if Ye Ling were to relax even a little and be detected by the Corrupt Clan, the people who would come would likely not be as simple as a half-step Chaos Master.
Therefore, it was highly necessary for Li Xiao to remove all internet-connected items from the room.
Seeing that Ye Ling was no longer paying attention to him, Li Xiao knew he couldn't bargain. He became even more flustered and dared not waste any more time. He began to kick the door frantically, shouting loudly to Li Cheng outside, "Old man, if you don't let me out, I'll die for you to see!"
Li Cheng could no longer stand Li Xiao's clamor and opened the door to curse, "You little beast! Do you want to give me no peace for even a single day? Do you know the grave trouble you've caused?"
Seeing Li Cheng open the door, Li Xiao glanced back and found that Ye Ling had already disappeared. He felt a little guilty and asked Li Cheng, "How much trouble did I cause?"
Seeing Li Xiao's indifferent expression, Li Cheng said with disappointment, "Do you know who that black figure who came to find you was? He was a distinguished guest of the Corrupt Clan, a supreme lord above all races. Even a fingernail from them is more noble than both of us, father and son!"
"For an adult of the Corrupt Clan to personally search your soul means you have touched a taboo! Tell me, son, what have you been doing lately?"
"I, I..." Li Xiao stammered. Upon hearing the words "Corrupt Clan," he knew how much trouble he had gotten himself into!
However, when he thought of Ye Ling, who was ready to take his family's lives at any moment, he dared not speak carelessly. He could only say, "I was just robbed! I'm also a victim! But instead of caring about me, you locked me up at home. Is this how a father should be?"
Seeing Li Xiao's righteous look, Li Cheng was also a bit confused and asked, "Did you really do nothing?"
Li Xiao looked wronged, with a hint of tears in his voice, "Then tell me, what can your good-for-nothing son you raised possibly do?"
"That's true..." Hearing Li Xiao's words, Li Cheng began to waver.
Li Cheng knew his son very well.
In his eyes, Li Xiao was a good-for-nothing dandy who often caused him a lot of trouble in Sky City, waiting for him to clean up.
However, although Li Xiao was a scoundrel, he also had his limits and would not cause irreparable disaster.
Thinking of this, Li Cheng looked at Li Xiao, who looked wronged, and a hint of apology appeared in his eyes. He said, "I'm sorry, son. I misunderstood. The adults from the Corrupt Clan were probably just going through routine procedures. You've been wronged."
Li Xiao pushed Li Cheng's hand away and glared at him, "Since you misunderstood me, you have to promise me one thing!"
Li Cheng quickly replied, "Okay, okay! Dad promises you. What do you want to buy now?"
Li Xiao gestured around the entire villa, "I want you to clear out all the appliances and furniture in the entire villa!"
"Clear out everything?" Li Cheng was stunned. "What are you doing this for?"
"I find these appliances annoying, and those mechanical soldiers too. Clear them all out. I don't want to see a single piece of furniture in this house before dark!"
"This is outrageous! If we clear everything out, where will we sleep tonight?"
"If you don't agree, I'll die for you right now!"
"You child! Are you looking for a beating!"
Li Cheng thought Li Xiao was throwing a tantrum again and immediately grabbed his slipper, about to hit Li Xiao in the face.
However, Li Cheng had underestimated Li Xiao's determination this time. Seeing that Li Cheng did not agree, Li Xiao immediately sprinted towards the window and jumped out without hesitation!
"Xiao'er!"
Seeing Li Xiao actually jump out of the window, Li Cheng's expression changed drastically. He quickly leaned out and, seeing Li Xiao caught by the mechanical soldiers, breathed a sigh of relief. He quickly appeased Li Xiao, "What exactly do you want to do?"
Li Xiao broke free from the mechanical soldiers and shouted, "I want you to clear out all the appliances!"
"Alright, alright! As long as you don't do anything foolish, Dad will agree! Dad will clear them all out now!"
Li Cheng was too afraid to provoke Li Xiao further and quickly called the mechanical soldiers to move.
Seeing his father start clearing the house, Li Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, thinking he had escaped.
However, at this moment, Ye Ling's voice suddenly sounded in Li Xiao's mind again, "Kid, well done."
Li Xiao's muscles instantly tensed, and he stood as straight as a board, trembling, "Big, big brother, do you have any other instructions?"
"I've made a list for you. Go and buy these materials."
As Ye Ling's voice fell, a large number of material names instantly appeared in Li Xiao's mind. More than half of these materials were contraband, banned from trading on the Eastern Xuan Continent.
Seeing the materials listed by Ye Ling, Li Xiao's scalp tingled again, and he asked tremblingly, "Big brother, more than half of these materials are banned from trading. Where am I supposed to buy them for you?"
Ye Ling said, "Isn't your dad a high-level executive of the Long Group? Have him get them."
Li Xiao still hesitated, "But even if it's my dad..."
Ye Ling's voice instantly turned cold, "If your family wants to live, you'd better bring all the materials home before sunset!"
Hearing Ye Ling's threat, Li Xiao trembled again. He no longer dared to defy Ye Ling and could only go to Li Cheng to discuss the matter.
Watching Li Xiao go to Li Cheng, the World-Destroying Spirit Fire chuckled, "Having a rich second-generation help like this really saves a lot of trouble... though your methods are a bit unethical."
Ye Ling, however, was unconcerned, "Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. At most, I'll compensate their family afterward."
The World-Destroying Spirit Fire then said, "Let's not talk about that. You're asking them to move and then to buy materials. What exactly are you planning to do? The material list you provided is all related to body sculpting. Could it be that you want to create an artificial body?"
Ye Ling nodded, "Yes... I want to create a body. The future Eastern Xuan Continent is full of dangers, and battles could break out at any time. I might need a substitute to die for me then."
The World-Destroying Spirit Fire agreed, "Your idea is not bad. When it's time to fight later, you can have your substitute cause trouble elsewhere to attract the attention of the Corrupt Clan, and then you can quickly resolve the battle here. The time saved should be enough for us to retreat."
Ye Ling chuckled, "Who said I only want one substitute?"
The World-Destroying Spirit Fire was stunned, "Ah?"
Ye Ling looked up at the sky and chuckled, "Since this Eastern Xuan Continent is so close to the Corrupt Clan's territory, and my Myriad Realms Insight can always enter their territory, why don't we stir up some trouble?"
The World-Destroying Spirit Fire's heart skipped a beat, "What do you want to do?"
Ye Ling said, "Damn it... I'm going to use the Eastern Xuan Continent to blow up the Corrupt Clan!"
