Chapter 1 Black Tiger Dagger? I'm actually Dai Hao's illegitimate son!?
The western border of the Star Luo Empire.
The setting sun, like blood, enveloped a small, unnamed mountain village.
A young woman who looked to be in her early twenties stood in front of the door, her eyes fixed on the outside of the courtyard, her expression a mixture of trepidation and anticipation.
"Mother, why are you looking here again?" A somewhat childish voice came from behind the woman.
The woman turned her head and saw a young man walking slowly towards her.
He was not very old, and looked no more than six or seven years old.
His jet-black hair was casually tied back, his eyes were clear, and his demeanor was aloof.
"Yuan'er, in two more days, we'll be able to go back." The woman's tone revealed barely suppressed excitement and anticipation.
Ye Linyuan frowned, puzzled, and asked, "Mother, what's wrong with you these past two days? Why are you saying such strange things?"
The woman looked at her son, her face beaming with pride and joy.
She pulled Ye Linyuan back to the table and sat him down, whispering, "Yuan'er, haven't you always wanted to know who your father is?"
"I've kept this from you for six years, and now it's time to tell you."
A glint of curiosity flashed in Ye Linyuan's eyes.
He had never seen his father since he was a child.
I don't know what the man's name is or who he is.
Of course, he didn't care.
Because he wasn't the kind of immature teenager who lacked love.
Six years ago, he was transported to the Douluo Continent due to a car accident and was born into the body of a boy with the same name.
Although Ye Linyuan is only six years old in this life.
But inside this small body lies a mature soul that has lived through two lifetimes and is now thirty years old!
Yes, Ye Linyuan is a time traveler.
Of course, he never told anyone this secret.
Even her mother in this life, Ye Youlan, didn't know.
"Yuan'er, I know you resent your father, and you even changed your surname to Ye, the same as mine."
"But if you knew who he was, you would definitely be proud of him!"
Ye Youlan's face showed an expression of admiration: "Your father's surname is Dai, and his name is Dai Hao."
"As for his identity, everyone in our Star Luo Empire knows him; he's a hero admired by all!"
Upon hearing the name "Dai Hao," Ye Linyuan's expression froze, and his mouth involuntarily opened wide.
"Dai Hao? Duke White Tiger...Dai Hao!?"
Seeing her son's shocked expression, Ye Youlan smiled and nodded, "That's right!"
"That's our Star Luo Empire's White Tiger Duke, Dai Hao!"
Ye Youlan said softly, "Six years ago, I was your father's personal maid."
"That night...after that, I had you."
"Your father is very busy and has been leading troops on the border for a long time. He has not returned home for a long time."
"The Duchess said that my identity is somewhat sensitive, and if I stay in Xingluo City, it might damage your father's reputation."
"So the Duchess sent me here."
"She promised me that if I could inherit the Evil Eye White Tiger Martial Soul of the Dai family, she would take us back to the Duke's Mansion and let us recognize our ancestors."
At this point, Ye Youlan paused, her expression becoming excited: "Yuan'er, although your martial soul has mutated, it is still a top-tier twin martial soul among soul masters, possessing innate full soul power!"
"Such a rare talent, the Duke's mansion will surely recognize you!"
"Your father and I haven't seen each other for many years, and now we can finally be reunited!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Linyuan suddenly came to his senses.
He stood up, grabbed his mother's hand, and asked urgently, "Mother, did you tell the White Tiger Duke's Mansion about my martial spirit awakening?"
"What you've been waiting for these past few days, is it the White Tiger Duke's mansion?"
Ye Youlan nodded with a smile: "That's right. I wrote a letter to the White Tiger Duke's Mansion three days ago after your martial soul awakened."
Night approached, and a chill ran down his spine.
His mother was naive and had no idea how evil human nature could be.
Moreover, there are some things that Ye Youlan is completely unaware of.
For example, Huo Yuhao, and the fate of Huo Yuhao's mother!
He had originally thought that his father, who had never appeared, was just some philandering nobleman.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be the White Tiger Duke, who only cared about doing things and not about cleaning up the mess!
No wonder Huo Yuhao and his mother met such an end.
It turns out that this wasn't the first time that guy had pulled out a gun and acted so ruthlessly!
Take the mother and daughter back to the Duke's mansion.
How is that possible!
With his top-tier talent of twin martial souls and innate full soul power, the Duchess would probably only have one reaction upon hearing the news:
Annihilate!
To prevent future troubles!
Otherwise, once he grows up, wouldn't the positions of his two sons be in jeopardy?
Ye Linyuan was both angry and anxious: "Mother, why didn't you tell me sooner?"
"Let's go! We can't stay here!"
Looking at her son's sudden change in expression, Ye Youlan asked in confusion, "Yuan'er, what's wrong with you?"
"With your talent, the Duke's mansion will surely value you. Why should we leave?"
"With the Duke's help, you might even be able to get into Shrek Academy, the number one academy on the continent."
Ye Linyuan had already run into the room, packing his things while quickly explaining, "Mother, you're too naive!"
"If I had no blood relation with the Duke of White Tiger, the Duchess might try her best to win me over."
"But I'm Dai Hao's illegitimate son!"
"She is Dai Hao's legal wife, and her two sons are born with the right to inherit the dukedom."
"If I were a useless person, she might not be so wary of me."
"But if she finds out I possess the top-tier Soul Master talent of twin Martial Souls, how could she possibly still accept us?"
"To ensure her two sons' positions are not threatened, she'll only kill us to eliminate any future trouble!"
Ye Youlan was taken aback, seemingly disbelieving: "Yuan'er, I know you've been intelligent and precocious since childhood, but... but aren't you thinking too extreme?"
"You are, after all, of the White Tiger Duke's bloodline. Would she dare to lay a hand on you without permission?"
As she spoke, Ye Youlan took out a black dagger, trying to persuade Ye Linyuan: "Although I am a maid, your father has been very good to me."
"Look, this is the Black Tiger Dagger that your father gave me back then."
"I am of humble status and have never thought of competing with the Duchess for anything. I made that clear to her long ago."
"If that's the case, why would she risk angering your father by targeting us, mother and daughter?"
Ye Linyuan stared at the dagger in his mother's hand, a look of utter absurdity on his face.
Black Tiger Dagger... White Tiger Dagger... Good, good, so this dagger that Mother usually treasures was actually given to her by Dai Hao?
That's Dai Hao for you, he's truly a descendant of the same lineage!
Does he use this trick on every woman he has ever cheated on?
Are there other Red Tiger Daggers, Blue Tiger Daggers, and Green Tiger Daggers hidden elsewhere in this world?
Fuck that White Tiger Duke, he's disgusting!
As they spoke, Ye Linyuan had already quickly packed his bags.
He was preparing to forcibly drag his mother away.
But just then, a cold voice suddenly came from outside.
"So you're Ye Linyuan, that little bastard who dared to dream of returning to the Duke's mansion?"
