What are you looking at? You're the female lead too!

Inside the dark iron box, the internal conflict within the Rikiku family continues.

The violent torrent of matter clashed and tore at the extreme cold of ice and snow. The two figures clashed continuously amidst the destruction, like two massive vehicles, crushing everything within the cage every moment.

At first, other men in black could disrupt the battlefield, and the occasional roar of artillery fire added a unique flavor to the iron and ice.

But as Shen Caichun finished his warm-up, these discordant noises completely fell silent.

She started to let go and do things freely.

Shen Caichun sent Ye Wen and Shen Xuqiu away earlier because he was unable to protect them in battle. Precisely because of this, Shen Caichun, now completely unleashed and no longer needing protection, would possess unimaginably terrifying combat power.

She no longer simply manipulates the existing materials on site.

Instead, she went to... create entirely new material that belonged only to her!

It was a snow-white, crystal-like metal that possessed the common characteristics of most elements in the world, yet it did not belong to any category; it was truly something that came from nothing.

These unknown crystals transformed into pale, roaring dragons that swallowed all the blackness in the blink of an eye. Then, the crystals underwent another change in properties, effortlessly tearing apart Shen Yuedong's solid ice.

The extreme cold will be completely obliterated!

This is the true nature of Shen Caichun's ability, "Formless Spring Awakening." The so-called manipulation of matter is merely a superficial application of the ability.

Shen Caichun couldn't remember the last time he used his full strength.

She never imagined that, after so many years, the person she would use all her strength against would be her own family.

Really...

How tragic!

Click...snap!

The thick ice wall that Shen Yuedong had painstakingly created was broken by Shen Caichun, who was wielding two white crystal swords. The sharp swords easily tore through the ice like a meat grinder and arrived in front of Shen Yuedong in an instant.

She crushed the knife in her hand, reached out her palm, stroked her brother's fragile neck, and then suddenly tightened her grip.

And so it fell.

boom!

With a deafening roar, the two plummeted from tens of meters into the ground, all the white crystals and ice turning to dust in that instant. When the smoke cleared, the battle was over.

"call……"

Sweat dripped from Shen Caichun's forehead. She remained in a half-squatting position, calmly watching Shen Yuedong embedded in the ground. Her slender hands, painted with black nails, gripped his throat like iron clamps.

"You've gotten stronger, Xiaodong."

Shen Caichun grinned: "Seeing you become so strong makes me so happy."

She paused for a moment, then continued:

"They should have been very happy."

"Too bad, you became stronger so you could come back and beat up your sister. She's very unhappy now."

"so."

She lifted Shen Yuedong up and then slammed him to the ground. The already broken floor cracked with numerous spiderweb-like fissures. Seeing her brother's pained expression, Shen Caichun lowered her eyes.

"What exactly do you want to do...?"

"He betrayed Riju's blood and information to outsiders, issued a warrant for his own sister's arrest, and now he's even bringing others to come and destroy our house."

Shen Caichun looked up at the Shen family mansion, now ravaged by the battle, and sighed:

"What could possibly be so important that you'd go to such lengths?"

After saying that, she slightly loosened her grip on her throat.

"Cough, cough..."

Shen Yuedong coughed a few times, forcing a smile: "Big sister, you really are very strong..."

"I thought that after the injection, I should be on par with you, but I didn't expect the gap to still be so huge."

Shen Caichun frowned.

"You little brat, you're even trying to spray pesticides like others???"

She was so angry she almost ground her teeth to powder. This guy was really unruly; he hadn't been disciplined for long and had already learned how to spray pesticides. Shen Caichun didn't even dare to imagine what he would do if this continued.

Oh no, has his head become pointy?

"After all, becoming stronger is a very, very difficult thing. I can't wait to take the orthodox path, so I can only take the unorthodox path."

Although Shen Caichun was dominating him and still had her neck pinned down, Shen Yuedong's face showed a resolute smile of victory.

"Fortunately, my path of evil has been relatively successful."

"Although I am far from being as good as you, I have still gained the same level of power as you, Big Sister."

"That's enough."

Suddenly, something seemed to tremble deep underground.

Shen Caichun's expression changed slightly, as if he had suddenly thought of something unpleasant.

Shen Yuedong burst into laughter.

"Do you know why I just watched as you, eldest sister, threw third sister out?"

"Because I know that she can't leave this prison called Riju no matter what, and my primary goal isn't to capture her, but rather..."

"On this land of Rijuku, I will fight you with equal strength, my elder sister, and from this..."

"Awaken Him, who has long been rooted in the earth!"

In an instant, all the land and buildings in the entire Shen family courtyard and the entire Riju area began to sink and fall.

Something has awakened underground.

His awakening will destroy and shatter everything that is already established around him.

In the end, only an empty shell of sorrow remained.

"He? Awaken? Explain yourself!"

Shen Caichun tried to use her abilities to pull Shen Yuedong back from his fall, but she was surprised to find that her abilities were ineffective, or rather, they suddenly disappeared into thin air.

"Useless older sister."

Shen Yuedong shook his head: "In front of Him who has awakened, Riju's abilities are useless."

He began to distance himself from Shen Caichun, as if something underground was pulling him away.

"You asked me before what was so special about it that would make me go to such lengths, right?"

"Now, I'll answer your question: yes."

"For that thing, I wouldn't hesitate to do anything even more cruel or insane."

Shen Yuedong raised his face and looked at Shen Caichun with a determined gaze: "That thing."

"They're family."

Shen Caichun froze instantly.

She wanted to ask more questions, but Shen Yuedong's figure had already disappeared into the darkness. She could only continue falling, and then see clearly what was sleeping beneath the chrysanthemum.

"That is..."

The moment Shen Caichun saw the real person, his eyes widened.

She seemed to know exactly what Shen Yuedong was going to do.

……

"Aaaaaah! Aaaaah!!!"

With a sharp and loud sound, Ye Wen and Shen Xuqiu landed perfectly.

Well, only Ye Wen was perfect. Shen Xuqiu's entire upper body was buried directly in the soft soil, like a fox hunting in the snow.

Ye Wen silently shifted his gaze away from Shen Xuqiu's rolled-up skirt and the panties peeking out from underneath.

Tsk, this pervert is showing off his panties again, what a jerk.

"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey..."

After much effort, Shen Xuqiu finally managed to pull herself out of the mud. Tears welled in her eyes as she wiped her face clean with a tissue: "Where am I?"

"Where's my sister? Where's my big sister?"

Ye Wen: "I don't know."

They were originally planning to go back the way they came to help Shen Caichun, but after running a few steps, the ground collapsed. Ye Wen thought that one of Shen's relatives had become Smith's commissioner and embezzled a sum of money for construction, but when he looked back, the entire courtyard was collapsing.

Ye Wen: "..."

"Your Shen family is quite greedy, isn't it?"

There was nothing they could do; they couldn't fly, and Ye Wen couldn't instantly activate his super-limit vision and frantically flap his wings like a butterfly, stepping on his left and right feet to fly into the sky. So, they just fell down like that.

Since they had fallen, Ye Wen figured Shen Caichun had probably fallen too. He thought he would take Shen Xuqiu to look for them nearby, but when he looked up, wow.

They saw a chrysanthemum.

A chrysanthemum that is over 100 meters tall.

It was rooted in the center of the courtyard, its whole body golden and shimmering with dazzling light. From its shape, one could barely make out that it was a chrysanthemum, and the light flowing from its stamen was as dazzling as the sun.

This is a genuine Japanese chrysanthemum.

"It seems the collapse was also caused by this chrysanthemum."

Ye Wen stopped admiring the chrysanthemums, turned his head, and looked at the blurry figure in the darkness not far away: "Is this your real purpose?"

Shen Xuqiu: "?"

"Ye Wen, who are you talking to...?"

Shen Xuqiu looked into the darkness with Ye Wen, and soon, a swaying figure appeared in front of them.

Shen Xuqiu clenched his fist.

The person who came was Shen Yuedong.

He calmly looked at Ye Wen and the furious Shen Xuqiu, his taut fingers relaxing with a hint of weariness and relief.

"I've finally found you all."

"Don't get me wrong, I have no interest in fighting anyone other than my eldest sister. I'm here to make a deal with you."

He looked into Shen Xuqiu's eyes and said, word by word:

"A deal to save your family."
