Two hours later.

Ye Fan walked out of the main hall, glanced at Qin Feng, who lay like a dead dog, and calmly ordered, "Hang him outside the Duke's Mansion, but don't let him die!"

"Yes!"

Wang Danian ordered his men to drag Qin Feng away.

"Stop!"

Li Youruo rushed out of the main hall, holding a dagger to Ye Fan's throat. She felt as if her body was being torn apart, barely able to stand.

"Your Highness!"

Wang Danian and the others rushed forward.

"Everyone, stop right there!"

Li Youruo threatened, once again embodying the supreme Eldest Princess of Great Xia: "Anyone who dares take another step, I'll kill Ye Fan immediately!"

The armored guards of the Duke's Mansion stood frozen, not daring to move.

"Ye Fan, order them to release Qin Feng, and then go to the palace to find an imperial physician to reattach his severed limb, or I'll kill you!"

"Would you dare?"

Ye Fan showed no fear of Li Youruo's threat.

"You think I wouldn't dare?" Li Youruo was furious.

Ye Fan shook his head with amusement and ordered again, "Wang Danian, cut off one of Qin Feng's legs and feed it to the dogs. Use the best hemostatic medicine, don't let him die!"

"Your Highness..." Wang Danian was shocked.

The Princess Consort's knife was already at your throat!

How can you still say such things?

Ye Fan only had one word: "Execute!"

"Yes!"

Wang Danian dared not delay, and ordered his men to restrain Qin Feng. With a swift motion, a leg was severed, and the prepared hemostatic medicine was applied.

A soldier brought a Black Hound, throwing Qin Feng's thigh and severed limb to it.

"Ah! My treasure... my treasure!"

Qin Feng screamed madly.

"Brother Feng!"

Li Youruo's heart nearly collapsed, her beloved's thigh and symbol of manhood were devoured by a dog.

Ye Fan wore a smile: "Weren't you going to kill me?"

"You..."

"Release Qin Feng, and don't harm him further! Or I'll die right here in front of you!"

Li Youruo turned the dagger on herself, pressing it against her own throat.

Ye Fan said, "Cut off another of Qin Feng's legs and feed it to the dogs!"

Wang Danian acted swiftly, severing Qin Feng's last leg from his body.

"Ah—!"

Qin Feng fainted from the pain.

"Ye Fan! Aren't you afraid I'll kill myself?"

"Please do!"

Ye Fan smiled, "Tomorrow morning, I'll report to the Emperor."

"On the day of our wedding, the Princess suddenly died of a mysterious illness! My eighth sister commands eight hundred thousand troops; do you think the Emperor would believe me?"

Li Youruo's pupils contracted, her whole body trembling, her face turning pale!

She wasn't a fool, and she was very clever. Knowing her father's character, even if he had doubts, he would declare to the outside world that she had suddenly died!

Ye Fan couldn't be bothered to look at Li Youruo again, turning to leave: "Wang Danian!"

"First, inform my eighth sister! She must set off from the Northern Frontier tonight and join me tomorrow to celebrate the Emperor's eightieth birthday!"

"Second, have someone send me a fine nanmu coffin! If Li Youruo kills herself, put her in it!"

"Third, mobilize the Duke's Mansion's 800 armored guards! Before dawn, I want the heads of everyone within Xu Fu's three clans!"

"Yes!"

Wang Danian's body trembled.

"Farewell to the North Suppressing Prince!"

The other guards knelt down!

His presence was overwhelming! Unflinching in crisis! Decisive and ruthless!

At this moment, Li Youruo suddenly felt that the Ye Fan before her was incredibly unfamiliar, no longer the useless wastrel she could manipulate at will, but the North Suppressing Prince of the Great Xia Dynasty.

A strange thought arose in Li Youruo's mind! If Ye Fan had always been like this, would she have fallen in love with him?

...

That night, the events at the Duke's Mansion spread throughout the Great Xia Dragon Capital.

"The Duke's Mansion's chief steward Xu Fu is dead! Executed by Ye Fan's order, his three clans exterminated!"

"The top scholar Qin Feng was castrated! His legs severed, hung outside the Duke's Mansion's square!"

The news caused an uproar in the Great Xia Dragon Capital!

...

Nalan Clan, Imperial Uncle's Mansion.

"Are you sure? All of this was done by Ye Fan?" Over a hundred years old, Nalan Fengyun dropped the book from his hand upon hearing his granddaughter's report.

Nalan Xueyan said, "Grandfather, it's absolutely true!"

"Qin Feng is still hanging outside the North Suppressing Prince's Duke's Mansion, and the corpses of Xu Fu's three clans, over four hundred people, are piled at the mansion's entrance."

Nalan Fengyun looked bewildered: "Did that wastrel eat something wrong?"

Nalan Xueyan chuckled, "Grandfather, is he still a wastrel?"

"Everyone in the Dragon Capital knows Qin Feng is the illegitimate son of Minister Wang Guozhong! Wang Guozhong had high hopes for Qin Feng, and Qin Feng was the Emperor's appointed top scholar! If not for North Suppressing Prince Ye Zhengrong's military achievements, Ye Fan inheriting the favor, and specifically naming Li Youruo as his bride, the Emperor would surely have betrothed Li Youruo to Qin Feng!"

"Bold!"

Nalan Fengyun was startled, quickly reprimanding, "Don't speak recklessly!"

"Grandfather, it's true." Nalan Xueyan pouted.

Nalan Fengyun shook his head: "Beware of disaster from your words! With such a major event, it seems tomorrow at His Majesty's eightieth birthday, there will be quite a spectacle!"

...

At the same time.

Minister's Mansion, Wang Clan.

"What? Feng'er had his legs cut off by Ye Fan and was castrated?" Wang Guozhong nearly fainted upon hearing the news.

An elder stepped forward, placing a hand on Wang Guozhong's back, a warm current flowing into him, allowing Wang Guozhong to catch his breath.

"Elder Feng! Quickly, save Feng'er!"

Wang Guozhong was in a state of collapse.

His current wife and concubines had given him four daughters, and although Qin Feng was an illegitimate child, he was Wang Guozhong's only son!

More critically, Wang Guozhong was old and no longer capable of fathering children. If Qin Feng died.

The Wang Clan's lineage would be completely severed!

In less than half an hour, Feng Qingyang returned.

He brought back Qin Feng, who was covered in blood, eyes filled with terror. Upon seeing Wang Guozhong, he broke down crying: "Father! Wuwu... Father! My manhood... is gone..."

Feng Qingyang, who had helped rescue him, shook his head: "Brother Wang, your son's manhood was severed completely!"

"The wound was treated with military-grade hemostatic medicine; the perpetrator didn't want him dead, but to make him suffer a fate worse than death!"

Wang Guozhong roared, "Who did this?"

Qin Feng gritted his teeth: "Ye Fan! It was Ye Fan!"

"He fed my manhood to the dogs! Wuwuwu! Father, I want revenge!"

"Was it really that wastrel? How is it possible! Wasn't he always obedient to Li Youruo?" Wang Guozhong found it absurd.

The son of North Suppressing Prince Ye Zhengrong, Ye Fan, was a wastrel!

Everyone in the Great Xia Dragon Capital knew it!

"Father, there's something wrong with that wastrel..." Qin Feng gritted his teeth, recounting everything.

After hearing Qin Feng's explanation, Wang Guozhong was furious: "Good! Good! Very good! Ye Fan, tomorrow is His Majesty's eightieth birthday, and I will have the Emperor personally deliver justice!"

"Ye Fan, tomorrow will be your death day!"

"I want the Ye Family to pay in blood!"

...

In his room, Ye Fan looked at the medicinal pills on the table!

"Chaos All-Creation Cauldron, are you sure I can cultivate martial arts?"

Ye Fan found it unbelievable.

In this world, martial artists could detect their Martial Vein from birth!

An ordinary person needed only one Martial Vein to embark on the path of Martial Dao! There were also martial geniuses with two or even three Martial Veins!

Such geniuses, depending on the number of Martial Veins, could cultivate martial arts several times faster than ordinary martial artists!

And Ye Fan, from birth, was detected to be a Heaven Vein Bearer!

What is a Heaven Vein Bearer? Born without a Martial Vein!

Which meant, Ye Fan could never become a martial artist in his life!

This was why, after inheriting the position of North Suppressing Prince, he didn't join the military to guard the Northern Frontier. Instead, his eighth sister inherited the military power of the North Suppressing Prince, while he stayed in the Dragon Capital, living a life of indulgence as a wastrel!

The Chaos All-Creation Cauldron replied, "Of course!"

"Aren't Heaven Vein Bearers supposed to be useless?"

"Who says so?"

The Chaos All-Creation Cauldron sneered, "That's just the shortsightedness of the martial artists in your world!"

"Once a Heaven Vein Bearer begins cultivating martial arts, they can open Martial Veins without limit! Others have only one Martial Vein, but you can have ten, a hundred, a thousand Martial Veins!"

"Damn!" Ye Fan was astonished.

"Then what are you waiting for? Help me unlock the Heaven Vein!"

The Chaos All-Creation Cauldron said, "Consume all those medicinal pills!"

"Alright!"

Without hesitation, Ye Fan swallowed the dozen or so medicinal pills on the table in one go.

In an instant, he felt as if his stomach was about to explode. Ordinary people couldn't absorb the power of medicinal pills and would die from ruptured internal organs if they recklessly consumed them!

Just as Ye Fan was in unbearable pain, the Chaos All-Creation Cauldron shouted:

"Chaos begins! All things thrive!"

"Heaven Vein shackles! Open for this cauldron!"
