Chapter 69: A Mother/Daughter Reunion

.....

"Aww~ Now, isn't this such a lovely scene? I mean, just look at this loving mother and her daughter make-up!" Lucifer chided in, his grin reaching both ears as he patted the short girl on her soft black head.

Lady Mu immediately thought this was her chance to turn this disastrous situation on its head; thus, she stammered, "Y-Yes, my dear son Lucifer, you are right! Come here, my lovely Li Yan. Mommy will give you some hugs and kisses-"

"Say, how about you go and beat her, Li Yan? Maybe do it just like she beat you?"

"!!!"

Lady Mu's outstretched hug drooped down to both of her sides. Wide-eyed and slack-jawed, she stared at her son like he was really the Incarnation of the Devil.

But regardless of how she felt on the matter, Lucifer was only looking at the pan-faced little girl.

"So...?" He asked once more.

"..."

Li Yan flipped her eyes between her distraught mother and big brother Lucifer. Then, without further contemplation, she picked up a stick and walked up to her mother.

However, before she even made it a few feet away, Lucifer said, "Wait, using something like that is so inefficient. Plus, she still has her cultivation base, so let me..."

FWIP!

"!?!?"

Lucifer blurred from his spot, and when he reappeared, he was looming over his mother with a 5-foot-long blade in his hands.

"N-No, please-"

Spurt!

Without giving her the chance to uselessly flab that gaping hole of hers, Lucifer plunged the sword into the pit of her stomach, effectively shattering her Dantian Space, Dantian, and Core in one go.

"Ahhh!!!! It hurts!!!"

Even though Lady Mu had grown used to pain in order to be an assassin, this level of pain was way beyond anything she could tolerate!

As her soul-wrenching screams resounded in the surrounding mountain landscape, Lucifer tossed a metal bat toward Li Yan.

"???"

"Don't worry, the bat may look ordinary, but it is of the Peak Mortal Rank. In fact, it may be one of the best weapons I have. However, now it is yours."

Lucifer gave the young goth girl a thumbs up, permitting her to do as she wished with the writhing Lady Mu.

Even though he would still get the kill in the end, allowing his pawn to get her due justice was okie dokity for him. Plus, she seemed like the type to stab him in her sleep if things didn't play out the way she wanted them to...

'Honestly, this girl is quite the oddity... even more so than I am...'

Of course, this was untrue, but Lucifer felt like this would make him feel better about himself (which it didn't).

Nevertheless, after a few more minutes of whacking away at the hollow head of Lady Mu, her life-force finally felt like it was on the verge of fading away.

Step Step

Lucifer approached the gruesome scene and said, "You really went above and beyond, Li Yanny! With an appearance like this, she might even be able to audition in a zombie movie as a really scary zombie!"

He patted the blood-covered girl's head, making sure to snatch up the bat in the process.

'She's too terrifying to leave with a dangerous weapon like this....'

If one looked close enough, then they would see a slight pout form on Li Na's pale face.

"Umu? The fuck you want?" Lucifer looked down at the grumbling girl, making sure to put the bat further away from this maniac.

"You said bat mine... Name not Li Yanny... It's Li Yan."

With the same expression devoid of emotion, she extended her hands, seemingly expecting something to fall in them.

"Well, guess what? I lied! You don't need any weapons!"

Lucifer adamantly refused to hand this insane girl any of his expensive things-!

Drip Drip

"???" 'Tears?'

He looked toward the source of the droplet sounds and saw Li Na clenching the hem of her black frilly dress.

With tears raining down her face and puffy cheeks, she made use of all her natural cuteness!

But unfortunately for her, Lucifer still didn't give a fuck!

"Ha! I don't care!" He spoke these words while 'accidentally' inching the bat into her arms.

After taking the bat, Li Yan stopped the waterworks and returned to complete neutrality. After which, she swung it around a couple times, feeling that it fit her style quite well.

It was only after this point that Lucifer realized that he might've just been played...

"I can't believe I let this sneaky little b*tch..."

Veins popped up on all parts of his head.

Even though he tried his best to rein in his annoyance, he needed something to take out his frustration on.

And what better to do that with then with the help of a small Loot Bag!?
