Chapter 40, Descendant of the Human Queen, Yin Body [Please continue reading!]
The curtain in the kitchen was lifted, and a small head with pigtails peeked out.
She was about five or six years old, with bright, dark eyes and an undeniable air of intelligence about her. She was very cute.
The little girl's gaze swept around the restaurant before finally settling on Su Ye.
Su Ye paused slightly in the hand holding the teacup.
The sea of suffering rippled slightly.
The innate Dao embryo is naturally close to the Dao and is extremely sensitive to the Dao rhythm fluctuations in the world.
Special physical condition!
Moreover, it's not just any special constitution.
This little girl possessed a peculiar aura, both chilling and pure.
That aura resonated slightly with his innate Dao embryo.
The little girl was also stunned for a moment, tilting her head and staring at Su Ye for a long while.
Then he turned around and ran back to the kitchen, and soon came out with a plate of peanuts.
The little girl tiptoed and placed the plate on Su Ye's table, then tilted her head to look at him.
"Big brother..."
Su Ye was also looking at her.
"This is for you to eat."
The little girl took a small handful of sunflower seeds out of her pocket, placed them on the side of the peanut plate, and said with a grin.
Su Ye glanced down at the melon seeds and peanuts, then at the little girl, and chuckled, "What's your name?"
"Jiang Tingting!"
The little girl puffed out her chest and said in a clear, crisp voice, "Grandpa calls me Tingting!"
Su Ye's heart stirred slightly.
Jiang Tingting...
The body of Taiyin!
In the original work, this physique is second only to the Holy Body and the Overlord Body in the entire universe, and its potential is terrifying.
In ancient times, there was a human emperor who possessed the body of Taiyin.
The Taiyin Human Emperor suppressed an era and created the Taiyin Immortal Scripture, one of the two great mother scriptures of the human race.
If a person with this constitution embarks on the path of spiritual cultivation, their achievements will be limitless.
Jiang Tingting is not only a member of the ancient Jiang family, but also a descendant of the Taiyin Emperor's bloodline.
She was supposed to be a princess from an imperial family, but in the original story, she suffered a lot of bullying.
Su Ye picked up her teacup, took a sip, and asked, "Where's your grandfather?"
Jiang Tingting pointed to the kitchen and said, "Grandpa is cooking. We have so many guests today, he's overwhelmed!"
As she spoke, her eyes kept glancing at Su Ye's face, as if she were looking at something rare.
"Tingting, stop bothering the guests!"
Old Man Jiang came out from behind the stove carrying a plate of stir-fried vegetables and pork slices.
He smiled apologetically at Su Ye and said, "Please don't be offended, young master. This child is just mischievous."
"fine."
Su Ye picked up a piece of food with her chopsticks.
Jiang Tingting refused to go back to the kitchen. Instead, she moved a small stool and sat next to Su Ye, dangling her legs over the edge of the stool and occasionally stealing glances at him.
"Big brother, you smell so good!"
"Tingting!" Old Man Jiang called out again helplessly.
This was a faint connection between people with special constitutions, but Su Ye didn't pay much attention to it.
Moreover, it's quite normal for the Daoist charm of the innate Dao embryo to have some attraction to a top-tier physique like the Taiyin Body.
"Sir, are you and your grandson the only ones in this restaurant?"
Old Jiang sighed and said, "Yes..."
"Tingting's parents... passed away a couple of years ago."
"It's just me and Tingting left, we'll just have to make do..."
Su Ye didn't press the matter.
Old Man Jiang paused, then lowered his voice and said, "Young master, you're from out of town, aren't you?"
"Judging from your demeanor, you don't seem like someone from a poor place like ours. I advise you to finish your meal and get on your way as soon as possible."
"This town is not peaceful."
Su Ye looked up at him and asked, "What's wrong with things?"
Old Man Jiang hesitated for a moment, just about to speak.
Suddenly, the curtain was violently pulled open from the outside by a hand.
Three men strolled in.
The leader was a square-faced man in his thirties who swaggered over and sat down at the table.
The two men behind him, one lean and the other short and stout, were clearly his attendants.
The three men sat down at the table in the center of the restaurant. The square-faced man crossed his legs and called out, "Old Jiang!"
"As usual, bring out the best wine and food!"
Old Man Jiang greeted him with a forced smile, saying, "Master Li... today..."
"Stop talking nonsense!!"
The square-faced man slammed his hand on the table and yelled, "I'm doing you a favor by coming to your house for dinner! Get the food and drinks ready!"
The lean follower scoffed, "Old man Jiang, your son almost got our young master expelled from the sect at Yanxia Cave back then. We haven't settled that score with you yet!"
"Old Jiang, your son has been dead for two years. You've lost your backing, so what are you trying to prove?"
"If you know what's good for you, bring out the best food and wine. If you serve them well, the Li family won't let your shabby shop stay open in town!"
Old Man Jiang's lips trembled.
"You big bad guy!"
Jiang Tingting jumped down from the small stool, tears welling in her eyes, and shouted at the three men, "You're bullying my grandpa again!"
Old Jiang's expression changed. He squatted down, patted Tingting's head, and whispered, "Tingting, be good. Go stay in the kitchen and don't come out!"
"I don't!"
"They're the worst guys!"
"They never pay us! And they even smash our things!"
"That jerk pushed Grandpa last time, and his back hurt for days!"
"If my father were still alive, would you dare do this?!"
All the other customers in the restaurant lowered their heads, and no one dared to utter a sound.
The two rogue cultivators in the corner exchanged a glance, silently paid for their tea, and slipped away.
The square-faced man's expression darkened, and he stood up, saying, "Little brat, you're still bringing up your father who's been dead for two years?"
"Even when your father was alive, the Li family wasn't afraid of him!"
"Who does he think he is?!"
Old Man Jiang panicked and rushed over to shield Tingting behind him, repeatedly saying, "Mr. Li, please calm down. The child is just being sensible. Please be magnanimous..."
"Get out of here!"
The square-faced man shoved Old Man Jiang aside and reached out to grab Jiang Tingting's pigtails.
Su Ye raised her hand.
The square-faced man felt a blur before his eyes, and then he was struck in the chest.
He didn't even have time to make a sound before he was sent flying backwards and lay motionless on the cobblestones of the street.
He had already stopped breathing.
The two people remaining in the restaurant stood frozen in place.
Su Ye stood up.
The short, stout attendant's legs trembled. He turned to run, but as soon as he stepped out of the threshold, a purple light pierced through his back and into his chest.
He then collapsed to the ground, twitched twice, and remained motionless.
The lean henchman collapsed to the ground, his crotch soaked, muttering intermittently, "You...you know...?"
"Our young master from the Li family... is a celestial being from the Misty Cloud Grotto Heaven—"
Su Ye extended his right hand, and a beam of purple light shot from his fingertip, disappearing into the brow of his lean follower.
Without a drop of blood, three people were killed!
Su Ye withdrew his finger, his face expressionless: "You talk too much nonsense."
The restaurant fell silent.
The firewood in the stove was still crackling.
Old Man Jiang slumped down beside the stove, his mouth slightly open but unable to utter a sound.
Jiang Tingting stood behind Su Ye, her little hands clutching the hem of his clothes. Tears still clung to her face, but her eyes had stopped crying as she looked up at Su Ye.
Su Ye knelt down and wiped the tears off her face.
"Don't be afraid."
Jiang Tingting blinked, then suddenly threw herself into Su Ye's arms, bursting into tears at the grievances she had suppressed for so long.
Old Man Jiang's tears also fell.
Su Ye was silent for a moment, then patted Jiang Tingting on the back.
"It's alright now."
Old Man Jiang then walked over shakily, his voice trembling, and said, "Sir... please leave now..."
"The Li family is the largest cultivation family within a hundred miles. Several members of the Li family are cultivating outside, and the patriarch's son is even a potential immortal seedling from the Misty Cloud Cave Heaven..."
"You killed their people, the Li family won't let this go..."
Su Ye stood up and asked, "Where is the Li family located?"
Old Man Jiang was taken aback.
"Excuse me, sir, could you please give me directions?"
Old Man Jiang opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word for a long time.
Jiang Tingting clung to Su Ye's clothes, her head tilted back, tears still wet on her face, and suddenly said, "Big brother, you're not leaving, are you...?"
Su Ye looked down at her.
The little girl's eyes were very clean, but at this moment they were filled with anticipation and fear.
They were afraid that if he left, those people would come back.
"I'm not leaving..."
Su Ye gently ruffled her pigtails and said softly, "First, go and take down all those big bad guys you mentioned."
