Chapter 69 A Dark Proposition
In the villa's backyard, Long Tian observed a woman diligently practicing martial arts. Her punches and kicks revealed that she was still a novice in this discipline.
Raising an eyebrow, he identified her as Li Yue'er. He couldn't help but murmur to himself with a sly grin, "Training in martial arts? How intriguing."
After watching for a brief moment, he decided to approach her.
Meanwhile, Li Yue'er heard approaching footsteps and swiftly turned, only to find Long Tian standing there.
With a light and conversational tone, Long Tian asked, "What brings you out here?"
"Just a bit of training. The thin presence of Reiki in this place is quite refreshing," Li Yue'er replied. The source of this content is N0veII_bIn
"Well, nestled near the mountains, this spot retains a subtle but rejuvenating Reiki presence," Long Tian remarked.
"I see. You're lucky to have this place," Li Yue'er nodded.
Long Tian couldn't help but notice the profound transformation in Li Yue'er's demeanor since the incident of a few days ago, particularly her confrontation with and subsequent killing of Li Hai.
On the first day at his villa, she had been rebellious and hot-tempered, but now, a sense of tranquility enveloped her.
"Do you feel any remorse after killing a member of your own family?" he suddenly inquired.
Li Yue'er's gaze dimmed. "Can you not talk about that, Long Tian?" she implored.
The family's reputation as staunch traditionalists had made it difficult for them to find suitable wives, leading them to develop strong hypnotic techniques.
And for female descendants like herself, she was considered nothing more than a bargaining chip in marriage, used for the benefit of her own family.
Thinking of her mother being treated like a slave, her heart ached.
Such demonic traditions... she wanted to change them!
Her expression turned cold. "I want to kill them!"
A grin crept across Long Tian's face. "Good, you'll never regret your decision.
***************
Long Tian couldn't have been more grateful for acquiring the Zeus martial spirit, particularly that unique power – dominion of the king of gods. He employed this ability to persuade Li Yue'er with his words.
Now, both of them stood before a large door inside the villa. Beyond that door lay Long Tian's dedicated space for martial arts training.
Rather than stepping inside immediately, Long Tian turned to face Li Yue'er.
"Let me clarify, Li Yue'er, my intent in saying all this, persuading you to eliminate the Elder members of the Li family, isn't because I want you to despise your own family or turn you into a killing machine. I simply abhor the Li family tradition that views women as mere servants. I have a mother, and I love her, and you, Li Yue'er, as a woman, are the perfect figure to shatter your family's tradition."
Hearing this, Li Yue'er smiled. She couldn't quite explain it, but she felt a sense of relief after hearing Long Tian's explanation.
From the beginning, she had thought Long Tian wanted to turn her into something like an heartless killing machine because his words were incredibly hard to resist, as if they had penetrated her mind.
But now, she could breathe a sigh of relief because Long Tian's reasons were genuinely humane. It added to her trust in him.
