"Brother... am I dreaming?"
Li Xingcai rubbed her eyes, staring blankly at the handsome figure who suddenly appeared before her, feeling both familiar and strange, a look of disbelief on her face.
Three years. Her brother was actually back!
Three years ago, she had witnessed with her own eyes how her brother's entire body had been broken by that wicked woman Bai Bingyue, and he had been thrown into the Longjiang River to feed the fish.
That scene was unforgettable, a lingering nightmare!
She was woken up by nightmares countless nights.
Now, the brother she longed for day and night had suddenly appeared before her.
Could it be that her brother hadn't died?
She was afraid he would disappear suddenly, afraid it was all a dream.
"This is not a dream, brother is here to save you!"
Li Xingye gently embraced his sister, Li Xingcai, and dotingly ruffled her small head.
Now, his sister was his only family left in the world.
His sister was his inverse scale; he would no longer allow her to suffer any harm or injustice.
"Ah!"
When her brother touched her, Li Xingcai felt a piercing pain.
Li Xingye frowned, noticing that his sister's body was covered in countless tiny needle marks.
"Damn it!"
"Was it that perverted woman Bai Bingyue who had that shrew poke you with needles every day?"
Li Xingye clenched his fist, a powerful killing intent rising in his eyes.
He had been thrown into the Longjiang River for three years, and that venomous woman was still cruelly torturing his sister!
What kind of twisted and malicious woman would behave in such a depraved manner?
"Brother, the Bai family is too powerful. Don't go looking for Bai Bingyue for revenge."
Li Xingcai's face showed worry.
The Bai family was a top-tier affluent family, with influence reaching far and wide, and countless experts!
Her brother alone could not possibly exact revenge; he would only be walking to his death.
She didn't want to lose her brother again.
"No, I will definitely get revenge for this, and I will repay it a hundredfold!"
"Bai Bingyue, the entire Bai family, and everyone involved in dealing with our Li family will pay a heavy price!"
Li Xingye said coldly, his killing intent soaring.
The hatred for his father's murder and his family's annihilation was irreconcilable!
He would make Bai Bingyue and the entire Bai family understand true fear and despair.
"Xingcai, remember this: you don't need to show any saintly compassion towards your enemies!"
"What we need to do is to return their actions upon them, and a hundredfold, a thousandfold!"
Li Xingye instructed his sister.
Saintly compassion was not to be had, especially towards enemies; not an ounce of pity should be shown!
Li Xingcai nodded, understanding little, but she was primarily concerned about her brother's safety.
"Li Xingye, you are Li Xingye, how are you not dead yet?"
At this moment, the one-eyed middle-aged shrew also recognized Li Xingye's face, her expression as if she had seen a ghost.
A gentleman as refined as jade, a peerless noble in the world!
Li Xingye's handsomeness was unforgettable after a single glance.
This was also the main reason why the Bai family's eldest daughter was so determined to have Li Xingye.
It was precisely because he was too handsome that this disaster had occurred.
However, three years had passed, and Li Xingye had shed his youthful immaturity.
Although still exceptionally handsome, he now exuded an aura of battle-hardened resolve that inspired awe and sent chills down one's spine.
"You shrew, in these past three years, you have poked my sister a total of 12,956 times!"
"I will return your actions upon you a hundredfold! I will make you personally experience a hundred times the pain of a pierced heart."
Li Xingye glanced at the middle-aged shrew, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
He had already opened his Heavenly Eye, and he could see every single tiny needle mark on his sister's body with perfect clarity.
This was over ten thousand needle marks, old and new wounds overlapping, leaving her body riddled with holes.
Over the past three years, his sister had endured unimaginable suffering, both mentally and physically.
All of this would be repaid a hundredfold!
Even though this shrew was merely an accomplice to Bai Bingyue, she could not be forgiven!
With a flicker of his thought, countless silver needles appeared behind him, dense and numerous, exceeding ten thousand. They hovered in the air like flying swords.
This sight was incredibly shocking, like a divine technique from the legends!
"What... what is this?"
"You... what do you want to do to me?"
The middle-aged shrew's face contorted in terror, stunned by Li Xingye's uncanny abilities.
Those tens of thousands of flying needles, like swords, were aimed at her; was he going to stab her?
It was too terrifying!
"Ten Thousand Needles Devouring the Heart!"
Li Xingye acted decisively, waving his large hand. The countless silver needles shot out like a rain of swords, instantly engulfing the middle-aged shrew.
"Chish chish chish..."
In an instant, the middle-aged shrew's body was pierced by ten thousand silver needles, leaving a pool of scarlet blood beneath her.
The intense, heart-piercing pain was so great that she couldn't even let out a whimper.
Her entire body convulsed violently, blood flowing ceaselessly, yet she still clung to life, unable to die.
Li Xingye did not allow her to die, so she wouldn't die!
"Go back and tell Bai Bingyue that I, Li Xingye, have returned."
Li Xingye said calmly, without uttering any harsh words.
There was no need for threats; his return as a king would become Bai Bingyue's terrifying nightmare!
As for the middle-aged shrew, when she looked at Li Xingye again, she saw him as a terrifying devil, filled with dread.
At this moment, she also understood the horrific pain of ten thousand needles piercing the heart.
The suffering she had inflicted on Li Xingye's sister had been repaid a hundredfold, making her wish for death.
Now, she couldn't live and couldn't die, regretting immensely that she had tormented Li Xingye's sister.
"Scram!"
Upon hearing Li Xingye's words, she dared not linger. She dragged her broken body out of the villa.
It was too terrifying; Li Xingye was more terrifying than a devil!
She didn't dare to stay near Li Xingye for another moment.
She had to deliver the news of Li Xingye's return to the Bai family's eldest daughter.
"Brother, can you perform immortal arts?"
Li Xingcai's eyes were filled with shock and admiration as she watched her brother manipulate tens of thousands of flying needles.
After three years apart, her brother had become incredibly powerful, far beyond imagination!
"Don't speak, let brother heal your injuries first."
Li Xingye didn't answer directly but gently placed his palm on Li Xingcai's forehead.
Immediately, a warm current flowed from the acupoints on Li Xingcai's head, coursing through her entire meridians.
Moments later, all of Li Xingcai's injuries miraculously healed.
Not only that, but her skin became even more radiant and flawless.
"All my injuries are gone, and it doesn't hurt at all anymore."
Li Xingcai couldn't help but reveal a look of joy, no longer feeling any pain from the needle wounds.
For the past three years, she had to endure the pain of being pricked by needles every day.
Thankfully, her brother was back now!
"Little Cai, you've suffered. With brother here, no one will ever hurt you again."
Li Xingye ruffled his sister's messy hair, his voice filled with affection.
Over the past three years, his sister Li Xingcai had endured unimaginable torment.
The physical wounds could heal, but the emotional scars were not so easily mended.
He would love his sister Xingcai even more in the days to come.
And that perverted woman Bai Bingyue would pay a terrible price for this!
"With brother back, Little Cai is not afraid of anything!"
Li Xingcai threw herself into her brother's arms, speaking with newfound strength.
With her brother's return, she was no longer a helpless, bullied little wretch.
"Xingcai, stay here at home. Brother will go to the Bai family."
Li Xingye finally spoke after letting his sister hug him for a while.
It was time to settle the score for the annihilation of their family; he couldn't wait a moment longer!
A gentleman's revenge brooks no delay!
Even allowing the enemy to live happily for another moment would be his own sin.
"Brother, when you go to seek revenge against the Bai family, can you take me with you? Don't leave me behind alone!"
Li Xingcai pleaded, wanting to witness her brother's revenge firsthand.
"Alright, you are also a member of the Li family, and you should witness the tragic end of your enemies."
Li Xingye said coldly, not refusing his sister's request.
He did not intend to raise his sister Li Xingcai as a delicate flower; she would have a part in his revenge.
Moreover, he was now invincible in this world, capable of fully protecting his sister.
