Regret youthful ignorance
Chapter 531 I'll Be Your Inside Man
The youth looked remarkably similar to Yuri.
His name was Yoan.
Yuri was deeply shocked upon seeing him.
The Marquis smiled and said, "Lord Eugene, I discovered some years ago that although your son passed away, he left behind descendants who have been passed down through the generations. Now, we have found them."
Eugene's hand trembled. It wasn't strange that Yuri liked to frequent brothels in his younger days and might have left offspring.
After some examination, Eugene was quite certain that this Yoan was indeed his direct relative.
I actually have descendants.
Eugene was overjoyed.
Now that I have descendants, what do I need a foster son for?
At this moment, Yuri was standing some distance away from the Bianhua Flower, gazing at it with fascination. It was truly beautiful.
In recent days, he had also inquired about some information regarding the Bianhua Flower. It was said that this flower possessed the power of time, and to make it bloom, a certain item held by the Volsci Empire was required.
However, Yuri didn't know the specifics of its effects.
Suddenly, Yuri received terrible news: his adoptive father's direct bloodline had come to the door.
What the hell, what am I then?
Eugene's attitude underwent a drastic change. He rapidly became cold towards Yuri, his newly adopted son.
Yoan, from being a down-on-his-luck kid, suddenly had a change in status and became lost in his newfound identity, behaving very arrogantly.
In particular, the life that Yuri, the fake son, was living, compared to his own past, made Yoan feel extremely uncomfortable.
That very night, Yuri's two maids were snatched away by Yoan.
Yoan pointed at Yuri's nose and said, "Do you have a problem with that?"
Yuri smiled obsequiously, "Young Master, how could I? How would I dare?"
Patting Yuri's face, Yoan left triumphantly.
Yuri's heart was ablaze with anger, but he dared not show it.
The next day, Yuri went to cultivate under the Enlightenment Tree and was at a crucial juncture, so he didn't notice Yoan approaching for a moment.
Yoan staggered over and slapped Yuri hard on the head.
"What's your status, and what's mine? Are you even worthy of being here? Don't you ever come here again, got it?"
Yuri woke up with a start, covering his head, and said ingratiatingly, "This tree is so big, it can accommodate several people. Young Master, let's stay together."
Yoan kicked Yuri with all his might, "Are you worthy?"
Yuri dared not speak his anger, especially since he saw Eugene in the distance, watching expressionlessly without any intention of stopping him. His heart sank to the bottom.
The ups and downs of life are always so fast.
Now, there were no more demigod guards when he went out. Eugene's disciples all knew that Yuri was worthless, and they didn't know how many times they had mocked Yuri in secret.
I'll endure it.
Yuri hid his spatial ring, afraid that Yoan would see it and take it away.
There were quite a few cultivation resources inside, enough for him to reach the demigod level.
Once he safely reached the demigod level, he would consider whether to leave this place or not.
"Caroline."
Yuri saw Caroline and greeted her warmly.
Caroline stopped, her face cold, "Are you even worthy of calling my name? Here's a lesson for you. Get lost."
Yuri rolled on the ground in agony, his head splitting, and it took him several days to recover.
As far as Caroline was concerned, Yuri no longer had any value. A mere King-level cultivator was not even an ant in her eyes. Why would she allow him to call her by her name?
Yuri deeply experienced what it meant to fall from heaven to hell.
Yoan was so audacious that he dared to peek at Caroline. Of course, Caroline noticed and pretended, "Who's there?"
Yoan fled in a panic and ran into Yuri, pointing at Yuri.
"Ah, so you dare to peek at Lady Caroline changing her clothes."
Eugene and Caroline arrived to see Yoan constantly slapping Yuri.
Yoan, who had just reached the King level, didn't hit hard, but the insult was too strong.
Eugene and Caroline knew that it was Yoan who had done it, but Yuri had to take the blame.
Eugene stroked his long beard, his eyes flashing with cold light, "Yuri's talent is still extremely good. Given time, he may well become a spiritual-type God-level. When that time comes, we can give his crystal to Yoan, which will allow Yoan to advance to God-level with greater probability."
Caroline nodded, "Yuri's talent in the spiritual system is indeed very good. We can try it."
Eugene comforted Yoan, "Yoan, in the future, don't deliberately look for Yuri's trouble. He may be your treasure in the future."
Yoan nodded repeatedly, "Okay, I understand. I'll hit him a few fewer times in the future."
Eugene nodded with satisfaction.
Caroline sneered in her heart. Yoan was just a piece of trash, and Eugene was too doting, so he couldn't be helped at all.
Eugene secretly ordered that without his permission, Yuri was absolutely not allowed to leave the planet.
In the evening, Yoan played cards with the maids, and when he got excited, Yoan laughed loudly.
"Yuri, you've had your share of blessings. It wouldn't be bad if one day you reach the God level and become my cauldron. Hahaha."
Yoan laughed triumphantly.
A small bug quietly lay under Yoan's window, taking in everything in Yoan's room.
Yuri was skilled at controlling small animals.
Yuri dared not spy on Caroline and Yuri's rooms, but he sent a small bug to see if he could get any news from Yoan.
Watching others play cards, Yuri was suffocating with frustration.
But tonight, he got shocking news.
I'm going to become Yoan's cauldron?
What does that mean?
Soon, Yuri understood. Having been a mercenary in the universe for a while, and having been with Eugene, Yuri's knowledge had increased a lot.
They wanted to use my crystal to nourish Yoan.
Am I just a pig to be slaughtered when I'm fattened up?
Yuri collapsed to the ground in despair, his whole body cold.
He thought that recognizing Eugene as his adoptive father would be a great stroke of luck, but he didn't expect it to be the gate to hell.
I'm finished, I'm doomed.
If he couldn't reach the God level, he would be killed by Yoan sooner or later. If he reached the God level, it would be a dead end.
The God level, which was unattainable in the eyes of others, couldn't make any waves here with Eugene.
Eugene was really a big shot. Caroline was much stronger than Eugene, but she still had to call him Uncle Eugene.
The Volsci Empire even placed the treasure, the Bianhua Flower, here with Eugene for cultivation.
High position and great power.
In addition to Eugene, there were five other God-level cultivators stationed on this planet.
I want to escape.
The next day, Yuri pretended to go out, but he was coldly refused by the guard, "Sorry, it's not safe outside recently. Going out is prohibited. This is for Young Master Yuri's safety."
I really want to escape, but I can't.
Yuri, who hadn't yet advanced to the Emperor level, was powerless.
Yuri returned to his room in despair. I'm doomed.
What should I do? What should I do?
Kill Yoan?
Suddenly, Yuri's eyes lit up.
Do you think I don't have a backer? I have a backer too.
My backer is Chen Luo. I'm his little brother.
If I'm not mistaken, Chen Lao Liu, no, Chen Luo Chen-ge, will definitely come here in the future to try to steal Eugene's things.
I'll have him take me away then.
Chen Luo, please come quickly. I know this place well. I'll be your mole.
