Starting with a Family System to Become an Immortal Official Chapter 67

Yi Ming’s fingers clamped around Li Qingmu’s throat like iron talons to lift his limp body higher.

Fresh blood erupted from his mouth and splattered across her pale cheek.

With a twist of her wrist, she drove the gleaming divine axe deeper into his spine.

Crack!

His chest opened wider.

The three ladies stood frozen as their beautiful faces drained of color.

Li Qingmu was being carved apart before them.

"Enough!"

Chen Yuxuan roared.

The earth trembled beneath her feet.

Nascent Soul pressure exploded outward in waves of pure green light.

Thick, thorny vines each as wide as a man’s thigh burst from the soil like whipping tendrils.

This was her flawless Flora Weaponization Arts.

"Thousand Venom Rose Execution!"

The vines screamed through the air for Yi Ming.

If even one of those thorns scraped her she’d die instantly from the poison.

An unruffled Yi Ming tilted her head with a lazy smile.

A red jade pendant appeared between her fingers.

She held it aloft and a dome of blistering scarlet flame erupted in a perfect sphere around her. The vines slammed into the firefield and turned instantly to ash.

They drifted away like black snow.

She laughed sweetly.

"Madam Chen, did you really think mere spiritual plants could touch me? This is a Lower Heaven Realm fire-defense treasure. It can swallow Nascent Soul attacks whole and spit out cinders."

Gao Yue dropped into a low stance as plant qi swirled around her fists in emerald spirals.

"How does a mere peak disciple possess a treasure from the Lower Heavens!?"

Chen Yuxuan’s eyes narrowed to slits.

"What sort of madness is this, Yi Ming?"

She formed tight fists at her sides.

"Have you lost your mind!?"

Chen Yuling remained rooted to the spot.

She was shaking uncontrollably.

She stared down at her trembling palms that were stained with thick blood.

Li Qingmu’s blood.

『Is he... dead? The only one who could save Mother and me... because I dragged my feet looking for her... because I opened my heart too late...』

Her vision blurred.

She felt her sanity fraying at the edges.

Yet somehow she forced words out.

"Ming’er... how... how could you do this?"

Yi Ming’s smile turned irritated.

"Oh, shut up, bitch."

A weak cough answered from the body in her grip.

Li Qingmu’s head lolled.

He turned it over his shredded shoulder.

His blue eyes were now burning blood-red ones.

"Don’t speak to my woman like that."

Yi Ming’s breath hitched.

"HUH—!?"

She never finished.

Li Qingmu’s hand seized the axe head protruding from his chest and drowned it in tyrant qi.

The divine weapon shuddered.

In an instant the axe dissolved into streams of pure spiritual energy that vanished.

His wound illuminated red and repaired itself.

The flesh was sealed and the bones reformed.

BOOM!

A colossal golden palm manifestation erupted from his side to slam Yi Ming. She rocketed backward and smashed into the courtyard wall with a thunderous crater shaped perfectly like the hand that struck her.

Tyrant King’s Subjugation Palm!

Dust billowed.

Yi Ming leapt down from the smoking indentation with dirty robes and tattered hair.

Her eyes were wide with disbelief.

"How are you still alive!?"

She stared at his chest.

The horrific wound was gone. Not a scar remained.

"That’s impossible!"

Li Qingmu calmly held one hand forward while the other was tucked behind his back.

"My spiritual bloodline fully awakened upon reaching the Saint Body Realm. The Tyrant Gluttony Art now lets me forcibly absorb spiritual weapons and convert them into restorative life essence. Thank you for the meal."

He gathered two fingers glowing with golden qi and drew a single line down his torn robes.

Its fabric knit itself together seamlessly.

Gao Yue and Chen Yuxuan seized the opening.

Their plant qi synchronized perfectly as two streams of emerald light merged into one.

Massive roots burst from the earth to coil around Yi Ming like living chains.

The mutated roots squeezed harder as it greedily sapped her spiritual energy.

Gao Yue maintained the hand seal as sweat beaded on her porcelain forehead.

Chen Yuxuan stepped forward with cold-looking eyes.

"How are you still fighting even after I suppressed your plant cultivation just now!"

Yi Ming’s lips split into a manic grin.

"Plant cultivation? I don’t need that garbage."

Her body began to swell unnaturally.

Her bones snapped as she inflated like a balloon.

At some point she looked like a grotesque, veiny mass of flesh one could pop with a pin.

Then—BOOM!

She exploded into a roiling cloud of darkness.

The binding roots touched the mist and withered like its life had been drained.

Gao Yue staggered back.

"What... are you!?"

Chen Yuling could only stare cluelessly.

She was lost and speechless.

That’s how badly the shock fractured her mind.

Ding!

A notification appeared before Li Qingmu’s eyes.

[Host has provoked Official Xu Wanshan by proceeding with plans to dual-cultivate with mother and daughter who are already marked for his harem.]

[Defeat the intruder Yi Ming and acquire an Imperial level sacred treasure!]

Li Qingmu’s lips bent faintly.

"So be it."

He swished his sleeves.

The cloud of darkness condensed and swirled into the shape of a breathtaking yet vicious woman clad in flowing black hair and even blacker eyes.

Her robes were pitch-black and trimmed with red.

One glance and you can tell she’s an evil snake!

She reached up with gentle hands to adjust her collar lower so her big breasts would pop out.

Now her cleavage was on full display.

She smiled, fangs glinting.

"Lady Blackfang of the great Xu Clan. A pleasure."

Chen Yuling took one hesitant step forward.

"Yuling, stay back!"

Gao Yue and Chen Yuxuan shouted in unison.

She ignored them.

"Then... what happened to Yi Ming?"

Her gentle voice trembled.

Blackfang palmed her face and sighed.

"Idiot girl. There never was a Yi Ming. Just a comfy identity I crafted so I could keep watch over you and that pitiful peak master for Official Xu Wanshan."

She pointed lazily at the mother and daughter.

"He’s the one who gifted you those heavenly energies in the womb, Chen Yuxuan. That awakened your Heavenly Yin Fertility Constitution. And oh my... things got much better when you birthed a daughter with a supreme yin physique without being deflowered. The two of you will make exquisite additions to his collection when he campaigns for Governor of Central World State."

She giggled sweetly.

But to the others it sounded pure evil

Chen Yuxuan’s face twisted in fury.

"How dare you call this suffering a gift!? Do you have any idea the agony we’ve faced!?"

Blackfang yawned as she floated higher.

"Honestly? I don’t care."

Chen Yuxuan’s aura exploded.

Full Nascent Soul pressure crashed down and shook all of Fragrant Flower Peak!

Twin flora spell formations bloomed in her palms.

Emerald mandalas spinning with killing intent.

"Oh really..."

Plant qi coalesced behind her to become a massive golem of ancient vines and spiritual wood.

"I’ll make you care!"

With a sweeping gesture, the golem roared and slammed a house-sized fist down on Blackfang.

The lady in black tittered.

"Futile."

The next thing anyone heard was a snap!

Two dark seals ignited.

One on Chen Yuxuan’s lower abdomen.

The other on Chen Yuling’s.

Both women collapsed and clutched their bodies as black blood sprayed from their lips.

Gao Yue cried out as she rushed to their sides.

"What did you do to them!?"

Blackfang conjured a fan from darkness and fanned herself languidly.

"Official Xu placed suppression seals on their physiques long ago. That’s why their cultivation hit walls. I can trigger agony with a thought and since my cultivation is superior they’re helpless to—"

A massive spiritual palm thundered down from the heavens and nearly pulverized her.

She barely dodged.

But a thin line of blood trickled from her lip.

She touched it and her eyes widened.

『I’m... bleeding?』

No one there should be able to match her Lower Heaven Nascent Soul cultivation.

Tap. Tap. Tap.

She heard calm footsteps.

It was Li Qingmu strolling forward with both hands still tucked behind him as he yawned.

He looked up at her with flat, half-lidded eyes.

This man was clearly frustrated.

『All I wanted was mother-daughter bedtime...』

He shook his head and sighed.

"Your reaction speed is quite slow for a Nascent Soul expert. At least when I fought Huo Wuji, the man realized he was about to die."

Blackfang clicked her tongue.

"Can a brat like you really afford to offend a big-name cultivator like me?"

Li Qingmu glanced lazily at her chest, then smirked.

"The only thing ’big’ about you is those."

He tucked his hand behind his back again.

"Originally, I thought about turning you into a slave that would pump out a few dozen heirs for rewards. But after what you’ve done to my women..."

His blood-red eyes ignited once more.

"You’re going to regret ever touching them."
