After Having Everything Taken Away, She Returns As A God

Chapter 991: The Protective Fifth Senior Brother, His Majesty Protecting His Wife (1)

Earlier, they had only judged through videos, and YUAN Mingchi was afraid he might make a mistake and something might go wrong.

But even a one in ten thousand chance was worth it for his little junior sister.

Now, seeing her in person, YUAN Mingchi could fully confirm it.

It was indeed his little junior sister, no doubt about it.

Not the same face, nor the same body, but the soul was the same.

The current little junior sister felt more real compared to four years ago, as if her soul had been elevated and finally became whole.

No matter what, this was their little junior sister.

YUAN Mingchi slowly exhaled, his tense body finally relaxing.

He patted the head of the nearby Yamata no Orochi and said softly, “You recognized her too, didn’t you? Go, heal Little Nine first.”

Yamata no Orochi withdrew its aggressive form, transforming into a tiny snake.

It hissed and floated towards Si Fuqing.

Suddenly seeing a cute creature with eight heads and eight tails in front of her, Si Fuqing was momentarily stunned.

She tried to opened her eyes, in a voice filled with uncertainty, she said, “…Yamata?”

All eight heads of Yamata no Orochi nodded and made a few sounds, looking very docile, completely different from its fierce demeanor when it devoured the third elder’s soul earlier.

Then, it extended one of its heads and rubbed against the girl’s palm, beginning to heal her.

Si Fuqing felt some of her strength returning, and her mind gradually cleared.

The only Master of Yin-Yang who could tame Yamata no Orochi as a shikigami was her fifth senior brother.

Si Fuqing raised her head, her vision finally becoming clear.

At the same time, a hand helped her stand up.

Under the cherry blossom tree, petals flying, YUAN Mingchi smiled at her without any excess words, simply calling her by a familiar name.

“Little junior sister.”

A familiar term, a familiar tone.

Just like many years ago when she joined Cloud Summit, he had called her the same way.

YUAN Mingchi was originally known as a handsome man in the Free State, always calm and composed, unfazed even if a mountain collapsed in front of him.

But at this moment, his eyes were red, dark circles under his eyes, and he looked more tired.

Si Fuqing had never seen this side of YUAN Mingchi before. She trembled and murmured, “Fifth senior brother…”

“It’s me.” YUAN Mingchi’s eyes flickered. He lifted his head slightly, forcing back the sour feeling in his eyes.

Pausing, he smiled slightly, like clear water flowing through a field, clear and moving. “Fifth senior brother found you, little junior sister.”

The four-year gap suddenly disappeared in this moment.

Si Fuqing blinked and chuckled, “You’re so powerful, no one can pretend to be you.”

YUAN Mingchi also smiled, his voice gentle, “Of course.”

Although the elder senior’s brother strength surpassed YUAN Mingchi’s, it was much harder to impersonate YUAN Mingchi than the elder senior brother.

A powerful Master of Yin-Yang could even reconstruct a body.

“Let’s go, this isn’t the place to talk.” YUAN Mingchi had Yamata no Orochi carry Si Fuqing, while he picked up Fujisan Shinya.

With his extraordinary Yin-Yang techniques, they quickly left the Fujisan estate and arrived at a secluded pavilion.

Yamata no Orochi wagged its tail, gently placing Si Fuqing down before reverting to its tiny form.

“What happened?” YUAN Mingchi frowned, finally asking, “How did you end up being targeted by the Fujisan family?”

“Because I am the Lady of Luck,” Si Fuqing explained briefly. “They wanted to use my luck for themselves.”

At these words, YUAN Mingchi’s aura instantly turned cold. “How dare they!”

Little junior sister’s luck had always been strong, but no one had dared to covet it before.

Now, anyone dared to be so reckless. Clearly, there hadn’t been enough punishment!

“You saw me at the exchange that day, right?” YUAN Mingchi took a deep breath, anger hidden in his brows and eyes. “Why didn’t you come directly to me? Did you think I wouldn’t notice you were planning to use a mutual destruction Yin-Yang technique?”

Fujisan Shinya had been knocked out by Yamata no Orochi in one strike because he was already injured.

Si Fuqing, though only a Celestial Master of Yin-Yang, had managed to corner the more powerful Fujisan Shinya to such an extent. Truly, she was their little junior sister.

There was a moment of silence, a long silence, before Si Fuqing slowly spoke, “I doubted you.”

YUAN Mingchi was taken aback, his expression becoming serious. “Because I am a Master of Yin-Yang and understand souls better?”

“Yes.” Si Fuqing said softly, “I’m sorry, fifth senior brother.”

When she first suspected that the explosion was intentional, her first doubt was indeed YUAN Mingchi because, as a Master of Yin-Yang, he could act more silently.

“No, you don’t need to apologize to me.” YUAN Mingchi’s eyes gradually became sharp. “This only proves that the explosion you experienced was deliberately caused by someone. Not everyone in our sect can be trusted, even if they were kind to you before, you must remain vigilant.”

Si Fuqing’s fox-like eyes curved, “Understood, fifth senior brother.”

“Good.” YUAN Mingchi said, “If you have trouble in the future and don’t seek out fifth senior brother—”

He turned his head, “Yamata.”

The tiny Yamata no Orochi instantly returned to its battle form, letting out a roar.

Si Fuqing: “…”

Why had her fifth senior brother suddenly become so devious?

He must have been corrupted by the second senior brother.

Meanwhile, YUAN Mingchi began to sift through all the suspicious figures in his mind, his brows furrowed.

No one matched.

Although Si Fuqing had entered the sect the latest, joining Cloud Summit at the age of fifteen, unlike them who were picked up by their master and had lived and trained there since childhood.

But they all cherished their nineth junior sister dearly and were willing to teach her everything.

He had also taught her many Yin-Yang techniques in “Eternity.”

Little junior sister was like family to him, no one could harm her.

“Fifth senior brother, can you deduce why I was able to return from the dead?” Si Fuqing frowned slightly, “And I feel like this body is really mine, it’s very strange.”

“In Yin-Yang and Five Elements, we believe that a person has three souls and seven spirits.” YUAN Mingchi pondered for a moment, “The reason you could return from the dead won’t be that simple.”

There were many stories of returning from the dead in history, but in reality, what the Yin-Yang and Five Elements community called returning from the dead was merely a wandering spirit temporarily inhabiting a body that had died not long ago, and it couldn’t be maintained for long. After all, it wasn’t their own body, and the compatibility was too low.

But he didn’t see any signs of Si Fuqing being rejected by the body.

“I’ll investigate. I’ll send you back first, your friends must be worried.” YUAN Mingchi pulled his thoughts back, his expression serious. “Little junior sister, you can trust me.”

“Yes.” Si Fuqing smiled, “If I have trouble, I won’t let fifth senior brother be free.”

“Good.” YUAN Mingchi took out his phone, “Let’s inform your friends first so they won’t worry. When we return, I’ll have Yamata check if there are any hidden injuries.”

**

Ten minutes earlier, when the head of the Fujisan family and the remaining elders arrived, they found only a destroyed formation in the courtyard.

There were a few bloodstains on the ground, but Fujisan Shinya and Si Fuqing were nowhere to be seen.

The great elder’s expression changed, and he shouted angrily, “YUAN Mingchi came here to steal the Lady of Luck!”

And they had thought he was a gentleman, but he was just a despicable and shameless person!

But no matter how angry the great elder was, there was nothing he could do. YUAN Mingchi was not someone they could afford to offend. Whatever YUAN Mingchi wanted, they had to give it up willingly.

The great elder’s face darkened.

“Great elder, family head, bad news!” Suddenly, a guard reported in a panic, “Someone has broken into the Fujisan residence!”

The head of the Fujisan family turned pale with fright, “YUANMingchi is back?!”

“N-No, it’s not YUAN Mingchi!” The guard stammered, “It’s, it’s…”

Before the guard could finish, the head of the Fujisan family and the remaining elders had already seen it.

A man walked through the night, holding a Celestial Master of Yin-Yang’s throat.

He said calmly, “Just a Celestial Master of Yin-Yang.”

“!”

These words were like a thunderclap, shocking everyone in the Fujisan family.

Training a Celestial Master of Yin-Yang was extremely difficult, requiring both innate talent and abundant resources.

Who was this man?

He clearly wasn’t a Master of Yin-Yang’s!

The great elder was horrified, “A Class-S evolved being?!”

Only a Class-S evolved being possessed such power.

In just a few hours, the Fujisan family had been attacked twice!

This was unprecedented in their thousand-year history.

The great elder summoned his shikigami and shouted, “Sir, why are you killing my Fujisan family members without reason?!”

“Where is she?” Yu Xiheng finally looked up, “I’m asking you, where is she?”

“She?” The great elder didn’t immediately understand.

The head of the Fujisan family trembled, “Do you also want the Lady of Luck?”

Yu Xiheng didn’t respond, but his palm opened, and a tremendous force erupted, causing the fourth elder to scream in agony.

“Where is she?”

The same three words, spoken without any inflection.

“Sir!” The great elder was both angry and frightened, “She was here before, but she’s really not here now!”

“You ask us to hand her over, but we have no one to give!”

Yu Xiheng made a sound of acknowledgment, “Fine.”

He stepped forward, and more Masters of Yin-Yang appeared.

“You’re alone, but you should know there’s an old saying in your Great Xia: two fists can’t match four hands!” The great elder gritted his teeth, “The Fujisan family has over three thousand Masters of Yin-Yang! Don’t think you can defeat us alone.”

Yu Xiheng, with his hands behind his back, said indifferently, “What can a spark do to me?”
