Her body trembled slightly upon hearing this. In that instant, she felt a pure killing intent.
Although it wasn't directed at her, she still felt a lingering fear.
"Sister Shagong!"
Looking at the woman in the blood-red gauze dress before her, after spending this time together, she had almost forgotten the other title the other woman held.
Blood Shura!
This was the true side of Yagawa Shagong.
And the Yagawa Shagong who interacted with them was merely showing the side of her heart that was "gentle" only to a select few.
Previously, only her mother had witnessed it.
Now, after the man who suddenly changed her destiny entered her life, there were a few more.
"It seems I don't need to worry about matters concerning the Martial God Mountain anymore." Ye Ming looked at the woman before him, his smile deepening.
"Don't worry! I'll handle it!"
Yagawa Shagong glanced at the hand on Nangong Qianyu's waist, then looked away.
This scene was keenly captured by Nangong Qianyu.
"Hmph!"
She nudged Ye Ming with her elbow, then broke free from his grasp. She then stepped forward, linked her arm with Yagawa Shagong's, and said with a smile,
"Let's go! Let's go to the Yagawa family!"
Looking at the sisters beside her, each with their unique charm, Yagawa Shagong's lips curled slightly beneath her veil.
"Mhm! Let's go!"
Unknowingly, her tone also softened.
Ye Ming's lips curved as he looked at the sisters, who were so different yet so captivating.
These were all his women!
His damned male ego was immensely satisfied.
...
After leaving Moon Pavilion, Ye Ming and the others soon re-entered the Yagawa family compound.
As they approached the courtyard gate, the guards on duty immediately stepped forward, their heads bowed in apprehension, trembling as they said,
"Greetings... greetings, Eldest Young Lady!"
In the Yagawa family, most people referred to Yagawa Shagong as "Eldest Young Lady" rather than "Lady."
"En?"
Seeing that the guards had ignored Ye Ming and Nangong Qianyu, Yagawa Shagong instantly exuded a chilling aura, causing the surrounding temperature to plummet.
"If your eyeballs are useless, I can help you dig them out!"
Her voice was utterly indifferent at this moment.
"No! Spare... spare my life!"
Hearing this, the guard was so terrified that he immediately knelt down, large drops of cold sweat trickling down his forehead as he repeatedly struck the ground.
He had no idea what he had said wrong.
He did recognize Ye Ming and Nangong Qianyu.
However, after Yagawa Shagong had carried out a "bloody" rectification of the Yagawa family, everyone was still shrouded in fear.
Therefore, when the guard saw Yagawa Shagong, he immediately paid his respects to her. Ye Ming and Nangong Qianyu were subconsciously overlooked.
"Forget it! Sister Shagong! There's no need to be angry over such trivial matters!" Nangong Qianyu tugged at Yagawa Shagong's arm, pleading for the guard.
Upon hearing Nangong Qianyu's plea, Yagawa Shagong's icy demeanor softened slightly.
"This time, for Qianyu's sake, I'll spare you. If there's a next time, you can dig out those two useless orbs yourself!"
She shot the guard a cold glance, then walked towards the courtyard.
"Thank you, Miss Qianyu! Thank you, Miss Qianyu!"
After they left, the guard realized his mistake and profusely thanked Nangong Qianyu's retreating back.
As Yagawa Shagong and the others entered the courtyard, all the core members of the Yagawa family were already waiting. Upon seeing them, they all bowed and said,
"Greetings, Eldest Young Lady! Mr. Ye! Miss Qianyu!"
Their voices were loud and respectful, adding a solemn atmosphere to the courtyard.
These people stood in two rows, creating a wide passage. At the head of this passage sat an old woman.
The woman's face was etched with wrinkles, her hair was silver, and she exuded a faint aura of stillness, making her appear very frail.
This person was Yagawa Shagong's mother—Yagawa Kyoko.
Logically, Yagawa Kyoko was not very old, at most fifty. However, with her current appearance, anyone who saw her would assume she was at least seventy.
Her aging speed was remarkably bizarre.
It was unknown if this was a side effect of practicing the incomplete immortal cultivation technique.
"Mother!"
Yagawa Shagong hurried forward and stood before the old woman. Seeing that her mother had aged even more, a pang of heartache shot through her.
Although her mother had always been extremely strict with her, even resorting to unconventional methods to train her,
Yagawa Shagong knew that after every training session, it was her mother who personally bandaged her wounds.
She had even heard her mother's faint sobs more than once during the night.
These!
Were all proof of her mother's deep affection!
"You're back!"
Yagawa Kyoko looked at her child, struggling to muster a smile. She took her daughter's hand and said,
"You did very well!"
These simple words, "very well," contained an immeasurable depth.
Previously, due to Yagawa Kyoko's prolonged periods of sleep, Yagawa Shagong had been unable to speak with her when dealing with the Yagawa family's rebellion.
Their last conversation had been nearly half a month ago.
After all, Yagawa Shagong spent most of her time at Martial God Mountain, and her time with her mother was limited.
Coincidentally, their last conversation had revolved around a man.
More precisely, after everyone in the Yagawa family realized Yagawa Shagong's recent behavior had been somewhat unusual, they had brought her mother out.
And the final outcome was evident in the alliance between Yagawa Ryuichi and Kage Ryuu.
"Call him over!"
Yagawa Kyoko looked behind her daughter and said calmly.
"Okay!"
Yagawa Shagong stood up, about to fetch Ye Ming, when he walked over with a smile.
Ye Ming hadn't intentionally eavesdropped on their mother-daughter conversation. It was simply that his hearing was too acute; unless he actively blocked it, it was difficult not to hear.
"Hello, Auntie! I'm Ye Ming!"
Ye Ming used a Chinese address.
Simple and direct!
Meaningful and clear!
Upon hearing this, Yagawa Kyoko simply gazed at him with her clouded eyes, not responding immediately.
Ye Ming, however, was not in a hurry, his smile unwavering.
Beside them, Yagawa Shagong, on the other hand, began to feel anxious.
Such emotions were rarely experienced in her past.
There was no way around it.
On one side was her mother.
On the other side was her man.
If the two of them were to clash, she would be in a difficult position.
After staring at Ye Ming for a long time, Yagawa Kyoko suddenly spoke, "Using your Chinese address, can you call me... Mom now?"
"???" Ye Ming.
"???" Yagawa Shagong.
"???" Nangong Qianyu.
"???" The Yagawa family members.
