45: The True Young Master's Hellish Life 1

【 Plot Introduction for this World 】:

Ye Ming and Zhao Yu, the ruling couple of the top immortal Sect's Ye Family, were traveling through the Mortal world while Zhao Yu was pregnant. Zhao Yu suddenly went into premature labor, and in their urgency, they broke into the home of farmers Qin Nong and Liu Li at the foot of the mountain.

Accompanied by the cries of an infant, Zhao Yu gave birth to a baby boy—the Original Owner, while the Qin couple happened to give birth to a baby girl on the same day—the female lead.

Seeing Ye Ming and his wife dressed in luxurious robes and radiating immortal might, the Qin couple became greedy. In the chaos, they swapped their own daughter with the Ye Family's legitimate son.

Their own daughter was transformed into the Ye Family's Young Miss, Ye Qiuxue, while the true immortal Bloodline, Qin Jiuge, became the eyesore of a "fake son" in their eyes.

Before leaving, Ye Ming noticed that the "son" of the Qin couple in the swaddling clothes had an overwhelming spiritual aura, with cultivation talent far exceeding ordinary people, so he casually arranged a betrothal between this "Mortal baby boy" and his own daughter, Ye Qiuxue, thinking he had found a potential Dao Companion for his daughter, not knowing this was the beginning of a twisted fate between his own son and the fake Young Miss.

From then on, the Original Owner's life in Hell officially began.

The Qin couple feared that the Original Owner, Qin Jiuge, would one day rely on the marriage contract to marry their own daughter and thus cut off this line of wealth from the Ye Family. The Qin couple was greedy enough, wanting their daughter to marry into an even stronger Family.

And their humiliation of the Original Owner never ceased:

In the freezing winter, they made him sleep in a drafty woodshed.

They only gave him spoiled food to satisfy his hunger daily.

If he resisted even slightly, he would be beaten with sticks.

Even more ruthlessly, they tried to kill him three times in secret.

In his childhood, they deliberately pushed him into a well, lying to outsiders that "the child was naughty and fell into the water by accident."

When he was a teenager, they made him go up the mountain to pick dangerous herbs, intentionally pointing him toward a dangerous path infested with Yao Beasts, hoping to eliminate him through the mouths of the beasts.

They even secretly replaced his medicine with poison when he caught a cold.

Fortunately, Qin Jiuge had a tough life and crawled back from the gates of Hell every single time.

While pretending to be pitiful "honest foster parents" to the outside world, they tortured Qin Jiuge in every possible way, hoping he would "accidentally" die early so that Ye Qiuxue could marry into a high-ranking immortal Sect, bringing them more cultivation resources and glory.

As for Ye Qiuxue in the immortal Sect, she had been spoiled into an arrogant princess by Ye Ming and Zhao Yu since she was a child. Upon learning she had a Mortal fiancé, she felt it was a supreme humiliation.

At her coming-of-age ceremony, in front of all her immortal friends, she slammed the engagement jade pendant onto Qin Jiuge's face and shrieked:

"A lowly Mortal, and you dare to climb up to my Ye Family? This broken marriage contract, I, Ye Qiuxue, do not acknowledge it!"

Clutching the shattered jade pendant and looking at the woman with unfamiliar features before him, Qin Jiuge felt his heart turn cold as ice. He did not know that this annulment was merely the accelerator of his tragic destiny.

Not long after, Ye Ming and Zhao Yu accidentally discovered the truth about the children being swapped back then. But their first reaction was not guilt, but panic:

If Qin Jiuge recognized his ancestors and returned to the clan, Ye Qiuxue's fake identity would be exposed. The reputation of the Ye Family's "Genius Young Miss" would be ruined, and years of hard work and face would all vanish into thin air!

To keep the secret, the couple actually developed the intention to kill. They first slaughtered the entire Qin Family in the middle of the night, not even sparing the toddlers who had just learned to speak, forging the appearance of a bandit raid.

Then they found the Original Owner, and Zhao Yu sneered at the Original Owner:

"You were never meant to live. If it weren't for you, how could Ye Qiuxue have this stain?"

Ye Ming took action directly, using an immortal technique to severely injure Qin Jiuge. If the Original Owner had not been secretly protected by a mysterious old man (actually a later Opportunity), he would have died long ago.

Having luckily survived, Qin Jiuge dragged his crippled body and wandered, but even the Mortal world could not tolerate him:

When he kindly helped an old man hit by a carriage, he was instead extorted by the old man's Family, claiming he "hit someone and wanted to run," and was beaten until he was bloody.

With nowhere else to go, he joined the lowest-ranked Qingyun Sect. Just after entering, because of his latent talent, he was framed by several Senior Sisters for stealing the Sect's Medicinal Pill and locked in a confinement room, starving for three days and three nights.

He had once admired a gentle Junior Sister in the Sect, saving and scrimping to help her gather cultivation resources, but when she learned he had "offended the Ye Family," she turned around and told Ye Qiuxue his hiding place, just to exchange it for a foundation establishment pill from the Ye Family.

In the end, Ye Qiuxue came to him personally. Looking at the haggard Qin Jiuge, her eyes were full of disgust and greed:

"I didn't expect your cheap life to still be lingering."

"But that's fine. Your Innate Spiritual Root, Divine Eyes, and Supreme Sword Bone should have been mine, this 'Ye Family Eldest Young Miss's'!"

Completely disregarding Qin Jiuge's pain, she personally used a secret technique to dig out his Spiritual Root, gouged out his Divine Eyes that could see through falsehoods, and smashed his innate Supreme Sword Bone. During the process, Qin Jiuge was in excruciating pain, but she laughed even more triumphantly:

"With these, I am the true heaven's favored daughter. Who will still remember you, this piece of trash?"

Having had all his talents dug out and covered in blood, Qin Jiuge gasped for breath in the cold snow. He looked at the flying snow, and before his eyes flashed the beatings from the Qin couple, the ruthlessness of Ye Ming and Zhao Yu, the framing of the Senior Sisters, the betrayal of the Junior Sister, and the poisonous gaze of Ye Qiuxue when she dug out his Sword Bone. In this world, there was not a single person who had ever shown him a shred of kindness.

In the end, he closed his eyes in endless resentment and unwillingness, dying with a grievance. Even his Soul seemed to wail in the cold wind, as if accusing this living Hell.

【 The Original Owner's Wish: Kill all enemies 】

"Oh, interesting. Finally got a script with the same name as me."

This time, Qin Jiuge decided to enter the stage personally, Soul-transmigrating directly into the Original Owner's corpse to begin a massacre.

...

The snow fell heavier and heavier. The Original Owner's broken corpse lay in the cold snow, the wounds where his Spiritual Root had been dug out had stopped bleeding, and dark red ice crystals had congealed in his hollow eye sockets. The shattered remnants of the Supreme Sword Bone were mixed in the flesh and blood, buried layer by layer by snowflakes.

At this moment, a pitch-black rift suddenly tore open above the Nine Heavens, and the Devilish Qi of trillions of Universes poured down like a tsunami. A phantom covering the stars opened its eyes in the rift; it was the Devil King Qin Jiuge, who ruled over trillions of Universes and could crush galaxies with a wave of his hand.

A cold voice fell, and the Devil King's Divine Soul fell toward the snow like a meteor, accurately drilling into the Original Owner's corpse.

The next second, the body that had long been cold suddenly trembled violently, and two clusters of pitch-black devil flames ignited in the hollowed-out eye sockets. Feeling the fragments of the Original Owner's memories—the sticks of the Qin couple, the murderous intent of Ye Ming and Zhao Yu, the cruel laughter of Ye Qiuxue when she dug out the bone, the framing of the Senior Sister, the betrayal of the Junior Sister... Every memory was like a red-hot branding iron, fiercely searing the Devil King's Divine Soul.

"Good, what a cast of villains."

Qin Jiuge's mouth curled into a cruel smile, and devil flames danced in his palm.

As soon as his voice fell, the snow under his feet suddenly split open, revealing a bottomless black abyss. Countless devil hands covered in barbs stretched out from the bottom of the abyss, dragging four corpses that had just died not long ago up from the ground. It was Qin Nong and Liu Li, who had been slaughtered by the Ye couple, along with their two toddlers who had just learned to speak.

At this moment, the bodies of the four members of the Qin Family still carried warm bloodstains, and the wounds on their throats were hideous and terrifying, clearly having died not long ago.

Devilish light flashed from Qin Jiuge's fingertips, and four pitch-black devil marks were imprinted on the foreheads of the four members of the Qin Family.

The next second, Qin Nong opened his eyes abruptly, and a wheezing sound came from his throat. He subconsciously touched his own neck, only to find that the wound was slowly healing under the nourishment of the Devilish Qi, but the piercing pain was magnified a hundred times compared to before he died!

"Who? Who saved us?"

Qin Nong looked around. When he saw Qin Jiuge standing in the snow, exuding a terrifying aura, his pupils suddenly contracted. The "son" before him clearly still had that same face, yet it was as if his Soul had been replaced, especially those eyes burning with devil flames, which made him feel fear from the marrow of his bones.

Liu Li also woke up. The moment she saw Qin Jiuge, she instinctively wanted to put on her usual mean face, but her legs went weak from the world-destroying devil might, and she collapsed directly into the snow:

"Qin Jiuge? You... you didn't die? How did you become like this?"

"Become like this?"

Qin Jiuge walked towards them step by step. With every step he took, the snow under his feet froze into patches of pitch-black devil ice.

"Thanks to you, I have died once."

He suddenly raised his hand, his five fingers forming a claw, and the Qin couple was instantly strangled by invisible devil power and lifted up fiercely. The two newly awakened toddlers cried loudly in fear. Qin Nong's face flushed red, struggling and roaring:

"Qin Jiuge! You little beast! Let us go! We are your father and mother!"

"Father and mother?"

Qin Jiuge sneered, and the devil flames in his palm surged:

"Making me sleep in the woodshed in the freezing winter, feeding me spoiled food, pushing me into a well, pointing me to the path of Yao Beasts, replacing my medicine with poison... Is this how you act as father and mother?"

Following his words, countless memory fragments turned into tangible devil whips, fiercely whipping the Qin couple. Each lash brought excruciating pain that tore at the Divine Soul. The skin of the Qin couple was instantly whipped into a bloody mess, but due to the effect of the Devilish Qi, they could not die, and could only watch helplessly as their flesh split open and healed, only to be whipped open again.

"No! It wasn't us! It was the Ye couple who forced us!"

Liu Li cried with tears and snot running down her face, crazily shifting the blame:

"It was them who made us abuse you! We were forced too!"

"Forced?"

Qin Jiuge's eyes turned cold, and his devil power suddenly tightened. A crisp "crack" sound came from Qin Nong's throat, yet he still could not die.

"When you tried to kill me three times, you didn't show any mercy."
