Becoming evil makes you ten times stronger, but becoming a demon gives you hundredfold strength

On the other side.

"Hey, tomorrow is Meng Yu's birthday, and I've prepared a celebration ceremony for him. You all must come and show your support!"

Little Swallow chatted with her friends on the phone, discussing how to make Meng Yu happy. She wore a sleep robe, her smile blooming like flowers, hugging the family cat, and feeling extremely joyful.

Her classmates agreed one by one, deciding to keep the event a surprise from Meng Yu. The girl happily pinched the cat's tail, certain that, when the time came, Meng Yu would be very pleased too, wouldn't he?

...

On the other side of Greenwood City.

"Ah Ru, your mother hasn't been feeling well recently. Could you lend me some money to help with her medical expenses?"

At that moment, in Teacher Chen's household, the family was gathered at the table for dinner.

"No money."

Cheng Yu Ru flat-out refused, wishing she could just slam the door and leave.

She was well aware why her mother was asking her for money – her brother needed resources for his cultivation again.

In the Immortal Sect, resources came first: with enough resources, even a pig could reach Golden Core. But her brother not only had poor talent, but he also lacked effort and squandered the wealth she had worked so hard to accumulate.

To improve the birth rate of citizens in Supreme Star, and as people matured earlier due to martial arts and Qi cultivation, both the legal age of adulthood and marriage were low. The laws around various Immortal Laws were revised, and they firmly cracked down on Cultivation Techniques that required Primordial Yang or virginity for beginners. For unavoidable cases, several simple and easy-to-follow cultivations were promoted that left one still possessing Primordial Yang afterward (don't ask; but it's like how experts certify that a 15-minute nap is most optimal, and two hours of sleep will only leave you more weary—it's an officially certified Primordial Yang, no different from the original).

Her brother had always asked her for money to cultivate and for girlfriends under the pretext of getting married early. Although she didn't oppose her brother marrying early, he was just indulging himself. Her brother had numerous lovers and frequently visited all sorts of places to play. As a result of such round-the-clock carousing, his cultivation was still only at the third level of Qi Cultivation, despite having resources that could have advanced someone to Foundation Establishment.

Her parents were commoners; the resources they used were all painstakingly saved up by her, or even borrowed!

"Ah Ru, your mother knows you've been wronged these years, but my back hurts so badly, I really need to get it checked out..."

If her parents had been mean and nagging people, Cheng Yu Ru might have made up her mind to refuse, but they had always been good to her. Her admission to university was the result of their full support. They didn't squander their money; instead, they gave it to her younger brother!

Casting a sidelong glance at her good-for-nothing brother, he actually looked impatient, feeling entitled to the family's money. Yet Cheng Yu Ru knew that just last week, he had specifically gone to the Hehuan Sect and called for three people at once!

"I... "

She was about to say something but seeing the pain on her mother's face, she knew that if she spoke out, her mother and father would both feel terrible and would scold her brother and so on. But what about after that? They might be hugging each other in tears when no one else was around.

"Bang bang bang."

Someone knocked on the door—it was Meng Yu. What was he here for? Right, he was carrying several gifts; how thoughtful of him.

"Ah, it's Meng Yu, come in, come sit. I'll make a couple of nice dishes..."

Teacher Chen's parents, recognizing Meng Yu, enthusiastically invited him in, while Cheng Xin Tong stayed there watching TV, looking very unhappy as Meng Yu's interruption slowed down his access to the money.

"Ah, Teacher Chen, the school needs you to come back for a bit."

Meng Yu winked mischievously at her; he had casually brought the gifts from a birthday feast. Cheng Yu Ru nodded, not sure what this rascal was doing at her place but grateful for his timely arrival.

She didn't want to give money... but even if she did, this brother of hers...

"Teacher Chen, you go ahead, I haven't eaten yet. Thank you, grandparents, please could you make me a light meal, much appreciated."

"I'll check it out."

She headed to the door, then suddenly, she heard screams. Turning around, she saw Meng Yu thrust his sword into her brother's body!

She was already at the doorway, her parents in the kitchen cooking. No one had time to react!

"You!"

After stabbing with his sword, Meng Yu stepped back. Cheng Yu Ru quickly went to her brother's side.

Meng Yu's Swordsmanship was excellent, and with this blow, he had destroyed Cheng Xin Tong's dantian and shattered his meridians. From now on, Cheng Xin Tong would be completely useless, even incapable of normal human functions!

"Teacher Chen, thank you for your care, thank you."

He savored the delicious feast contentedly and even made a phone call to turn himself in, claiming he had killed many people and urging them to come arrest him quickly.

Soon after, sirens blared as several elite warriors stormed in.

"I surrender."

Meng Yu raised his hands high.

"Teacher Chen, be happy."

His mouth was slightly greasy from the delicious chicken leg from Cheng Family, tasting pretty good.

...

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to tonight's program. You must be aware of the recent tragedy in Yangquan Prefecture involving Meng Yu's actions."

The TV host appeared on the big screen, and the audience below was naturally very interested in this matter.

In a fit of rage, he killed his own uncle (dubious, as Meng Yu does not admit it), and then killed his own grandfather's family—truly earth-shattering news!

That's right, the information about Meng Yu's cultivation of Sword Intent had not yet leaked out. While the police were aware of it, they kept quiet, and even Taibai University made no mention of it.
