The villain's daily corpse collection
Chapter 177 Cousins
Bo Shangyu was raised by a divine servant in a courtyard where no one cared about her. As the illegitimate daughter of Bo Shanghuan, she was never included in the family tree. She had no name or status in the family and was kept in the small courtyard to fend for herself. Occasionally, someone from the outer courtyard would come to deliver some things, but there was no further news. Fortunately, the divine servant who took care of her was smart and used all means to get a lot of tonic spirit stones from various places to nourish this poor master.
Everything was caused by that evil fate that was deliberately covered up. The guards who knew the truth and massacred the whole clan were also sent to the front line by Bo Shanghuan in the countless Tianshui disputes that followed, and they had already died.
Only the dead can keep secrets. This is Bo Shanghuan's code of conduct.
The fact that he could treat his own daughter Bo Shangyu in this way was also a sufficient prelude - from Bo Shangyu's perspective, she was disliked by her father only because she was born weak, and even all kinds of tonics when she was older did not help.
Seeing her two younger brothers enjoying themselves in front of their father, the god Bo Shanghuan, and her stepmother, the god, accompanying them with a friendly face, she was so envious. But these things never belonged to her.
The stepmother god is the eldest daughter of a superior family in the Yucang Divine Realm of Chenzhongtian. Although she is not as powerful as the three major families, she came to the Boshang family with a sufficiently generous dowry.
Marriage for the Gods is more about exchanging benefits and sharing resources. Bo Shanghuan was attracted by the strength of this family. The eldest daughter was well-known in the Yucang God Realm, which made up for the power deficiency of the small clan.
However, this time, Bo Shanghuan still followed the rule of 50-50 sharing, and with their combined strength, they gave birth to two sons with extraordinary talents. These two children inherited powerful divine powers, which were much stronger than Bo Shangyu.
However, strength does not mean high moral character. The two young masters are annoying and can be called "little devils", but no one dares to interfere. After all, their parents don't care, so who has the right to say anything?
Her brothers were not on good terms with her and often teased her, her stepmother treated her coldly like a stranger, and although Bo Shangyu could move freely in the mansion, he was restricted everywhere. She often hated the length of her life, and the way of heaven gave her a long life, but did not give her the power to maintain her self-esteem and attract attention.
Until one day, when Bo Shangyu was practicing martial arts in an angled pavilion, he suddenly heard laughter coming from the courtyard, as if his stepmother and her brothers were welcoming some guests into the house.
Apart from the two brothers causing trouble in the mansion, the mosses around them were usually so bored that they could quietly cultivate and become spirits.
Bo Shangyu hid behind the stone spring and watched curiously, but found that a girl who looked like the great emperor Ji Bo Shang Wangyou from his uncle's family had come to the mansion. Bo Shangyu had seen Wangyou from a distance several times at family banquets, and the two had only met in the courtyard. Wangyou saw that she was in a bad mood and asked a few questions, but she didn't want to flatter anyone at the time, so she left casually.
Later, she almost never attended such boring family dinners. Fortunately, no one at home cared about her, so she had some space of her own. She also didn't pay attention to the situation in the clan.
Now when she thought about it, she still felt a little guilty. When she turned her head to look again, she saw that her father, Shenbo Shanghuan, had also returned.
Bo Shangyu walked closer and heard that the person coming was not the Great Princess, but the Great Princess's twin sister, named Bo Shangwangwei.
This person should be the cousin she has never met.
After hiding and eavesdropping for a long time, and hearing the talkative gods whispering in the corner, Bo Shangyu finally learned about the bad news about Bo Shang's family.
The great emperor Ji Boshang Wangyou seemed to be dead. His aunt suspected that it was the cousin who had just returned home who did it. She couldn't stand the Boshang family tradition and had left Chenzhongtian. His uncle followed her. At present, there was no one to take care of the cousin, so he brought her home to live temporarily.
"...Speaking of this little princess, her methods are truly incredible!"
"how do I say this?"
"Our Second Master doesn't have any dealings with the First Master's family, and he's not a generous person, so why would he take the initiative to raise someone else's child? Don't you think it's weird?"
"Tsk tsk, what you said is true! Our second master is also from a wealthy family, but he saves as much as possible on weekdays. If it weren't for the two young masters' increasing power, I don't know where they are hiding in the courtyard now. Isn't our eldest lady an example?"
When Bo Shangyu heard that he was being mentioned and discussed by the divine servants, he did not react. Perhaps it was because he heard it so often that he was used to it.
Seeing the house bustling again, but not for him, Bo Shangyu couldn't help but sigh and prepared to tidy up the pavilion and go back to his room. But he heard Bo Shanghuan's voice behind him: "Remember to come to the family dinner today. Your cousin is here, take good care of her."
When she turned around, Bo Shanghuan had already left.
At the family dinner, the cousin was seated next to the main seat, opposite her stepmother. Her two younger brothers had to move to the back row, and Bo Shangyu's own seat was even further back.
During the meal, she glanced in Wang Wei's direction more than once. Seeing that there was no sadness on Wang Wei's face, Bo Shangyu even doubted the truth of the gossip.
How could that expression look like the look of someone whose loved one had passed away or whose family line had fallen apart?
Wang Wei said words that elders liked to hear, which made her stepmother and father very happy. They comforted her and asked her to stay in their house and treat it as her own home. Wang Wei showed a grateful expression, and they talked happily again. Even her two noisy brothers quieted down a bit.
Suddenly, Bo Shangyu was bumped from behind. A divine servant passed behind her and hurried towards Wang Wei. She saw the divine servant filling her cousin's teacup.
At this time, someone stood up to toast, and Wang Wei naturally picked up the cup of tea that was refilled later, and she drank it all without hesitation.
Not long after, her cheeks turned slightly red, a sign of being drunk. She stood up and said she was bored and wanted to go out for a walk, and then she left the table alone. At this time, two more divine servants followed quietly.
Bo Shangyu didn't know the reason. She wanted to make an excuse to leave, but found that no one was paying attention to her. That was better, so she left the table and followed the two divine servants.
Wang Wei walked unsteadily and her body seemed to be on the verge of falling. Bo Shangyu became more certain of her previous guess: someone had drugged her tea.
There was a patch of wild flowers in the back hills of the mansion that no one cared for. The grass was so wild that it could almost completely cover a person. Bo Shangyu didn't expect that they would end up here after all the twists and turns. She didn't understand why.
Suddenly, the two divine servants in front stopped.
"The back mountain is a restricted area. Where are you going, young prince?" one of the divine servants spoke up.
Finally, Wang Wei also stopped. But she didn't turn around. Seeing this, the two divine servants looked at each other and prepared to step forward. At this time, Wang Wei turned around unsteadily.
"Why are you following me?" Wang Wei's cheeks were flushed, like the fresh sunlight, and his voice sounded a little lazy, as if he had just woken up from a drunken stupor.
"You are here to protect the little prince. The big prince just had an accident, and we don't want the little prince to get hurt." The divine servant said respectfully.
"Then you replaced my tea with wine without my permission, what does that mean?" Wang Wei shook her head and tried to make herself sober. She had just taken a long detour and wanted to use her divine power to dilute the effects of the alcohol.
However, the alcohol was powerful, especially the aftereffect. She didn't know the opponent's intention and didn't dare to fall down easily. She condensed the water blade and was ready to attack at any time.
Wang Wei didn't want to cause trouble. She had already messed up her family. It was only her first day at her second uncle's house. If she did something out of the ordinary, she would have to continue wandering. If she offended the demon grandfather, she would have no place to stand in Chen Zhongtian.
However, if her bottom line is really touched, she will never back down.
"Changed to wine? Didn't you ask to drink only tea? Where did the wine come from?" The divine servant's tone was full of confusion.
The other party refused to admit it. Wang Wei sneered twice, held on to a sturdy blade of grass, and slowly said, "Who sent you to test me?"
The waves in her sea of consciousness were surging, making her mind uneasy and increasingly confused.
The divine attendant bowed respectfully as usual: "What are you talking about, young prince? Could it be that the tea is intoxicating? Young prince, please come back with us. The back mountain is dangerous and we can't go any further."
After they finished speaking, they said no more and walked towards Wang Wei's direction.
"Yes, the situation in the back mountain is indeed ominous. Your Highness is worried about them, so why don't you come back with me?" No one knew what Bo Shangyu was thinking, but she just stood up so openly.
This was totally inconsistent with her character of being a bystander. For some reason, she overturned her past behavior and interrupted the entanglement of the god's servant.
The divine attendant saw that the visitor was the young lady, and simply nodded in greeting, then said: "This is not a place that the young lady can set foot in, please go back first."
"Of course I understand the rules of my home. Your Highness has just arrived at my humble home. As the eldest lady in your eyes, I should also do my best to be a good host. I will take your Highness away." Bo Shangyu teleported to Wang Wei's side, grabbed her waist, and motioned Wang Wei to hold her tight.
Wang Wei frowned slightly. She didn't even notice that there was a fourth person around. This unknown feeling aroused some fear in her.
She shuddered and sobered up a bit. Looking at her cousin who had kept her eyes on her many times during the banquet, she did not put away the water blade hidden between her fingers in her sleeve out of caution.
Bo Shangyu really had no intention of harming anyone, she just had a bad feeling and followed him out. As expected, she was right.
"Miss, this is probably not appropriate!" A divine servant stepped forward to block their way, while another blocked their retreat.
"Aren't you two people close to my father God? What? How dare you disrespect my father God's niece?" After Bo Shangyu saw who they were, he directly pointed out the situation.
Wang Wei, who was in her arms, heard the key words and looked up at her, but could only see the outline of her face. She seemed to see the shadow of Wang You in her drunken trance.
"Sister...you're back..." Wang Wei lowered her head and accidentally placed it on Bo Shangyu's shoulder. She muttered to herself, her voice rising and falling.
Bo Shangyu's arms trembled slightly. She turned her head to look at Wang Wei who was gradually falling into coma, and held her tightly. Then she looked firmly at the divine servants who were attacking her from the front and back.
As expected, the divine servant tried to snatch the person away. Bo Shangyu finally used a spell that she had never used in public before. The divine servant raised his hand to resist and did not take her seriously.
This was the first time in a thousand years that Bo Shangyu actually took action. Because he failed to control his strength, he directly killed the two divine servants.
The effect of the alcohol was delayed until it gradually dissipated. Wang Wei slowly opened her eyes as the two men were entangled in magic. Seeing the tragic scene of the two men being beheaded and killed, she could not help but look at Bo Shangyu in confusion.
"How are you? Can you still walk?" Bo Shangyu held Wang Wei steadily.
Wang Wei nodded. After secretly regulating her breathing, her mind finally regained some clarity. She glanced at the bodies on the ground. Bo Shangyu seemed to have guessed what she meant and explained in a calm tone: "They are retainers. It is indeed troublesome if they die. However, I did it, it has nothing to do with you."
This family had never valued her. This time she killed two retainers, but the retainers were much more important than her. She did not control her strength well, but in a critical moment, she could not be blamed for being too ruthless.
"Cousin." Wang Wei called her softly, "Killing someone will make it very difficult for you."
"How could that be?" Bo Shangyu retorted stubbornly. The next moment, Wang Wei let go of her hand and used a move to turn the bodies of the two people into a pool of blood, which merged into the dark brown earth.
"I killed you, retainer." After saying that, Wang Wei turned and left. After walking a few steps, she turned back and looked at Bo Shangyu, "Let's go back separately and pretend we have never met."
Bo Shangyu wanted to ask about her situation, but she had already walked away. She lowered her head and looked at her hands. Today was her first time to take action, and she didn't expect that it would be so easy to take the lives of two people.
Those two were supposed to be masters, yet they died easily at her hands.
Does this mean that she is not as weak and incompetent as people around her think she is?
Bo Shangyu's heart started to stir. She thought of Wang Wei's magic that turned the corpse into ashes. He must be an absolute master!
Someday, she would definitely find an opportunity to discuss things with her.
If she helps me, will it be disadvantageous to her? Bo Shangyu muttered to herself, and then she quickened her pace and returned to the banquet hall. As a result, she saw another scene, which shocked her.
Wang Wei looked pitiful, and cried to Bo Shanghuan about the series of things that happened to her that she was followed. She omitted the part about Bo Shangyu, but used exaggerated words to describe how the two dead gods treated her badly, and she was so angry that she accidentally killed them.
"Second uncle, it was only my first day in the mansion, and I actually... killed someone by mistake. It was Xiaowei's fault... Please punish me!" Wang Wei burst into tears, and his childish and gorgeous face revealed his fragile side. Now no one remembered the dead person, only the little prince who apologized sincerely.
Wang Wei was definitely not taking the blame to help Bo Shangyu. Sooner or later, she would have to put on a show to make everyone in Bo Shanghuan's mansion accept her. The rumors about her outside were true or false, so she might as well quickly show herself what kind of person she was.
At this time, Bo Shangyu came forward.
"I was the one who killed him. Your Highness is only saying this to help me take the blame. If you have anything to say, come to me!"
After the words fell, the whole place was silent.
Wang Wei turned her face to the deserted side. She raised her hand to wipe away her tears, trying to hide the slight curve at the corner of her mouth. She thought to herself: The story is finally complete. She is such a kind person.
