Chapter 5: The Love-Obsessed Supreme Bone and the Mourning Female Protagonist!
Seeing Dong Yueying so protective of the Dong family, Dong Mo, who was familiar with the plot, couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.
However, after carefully recalling the events, Dong Mo suddenly realized the truth and understood everything in an instant.
It seems that Dong Yueying was mentioned in the interlude storyline of the original game.
In the first few years after she was adopted by the Dong family, she was extremely grateful to them.
She did whatever the people in her tribe told her to do, and she believed whatever they told her to do.
It wasn't until her supreme bone was removed, leaving her a cripple and ruthlessly abandoned by her family, that she finally realized her mistake and harbored a deep hatred for the Dong family.
Thinking of this, Dong Mo shook his head helplessly. Then, with the mindset of saving as many people as possible, he decided to reveal the Dong family's true plan to Dong Yueying.
He tried to win over Dong Yueying and get her to run away with him.
"Judging from your expression, you probably still don't know what your family is planning, do you?"
Just as Dong Mo was about to continue speaking, Dong Yueying suddenly interrupted him.
"Hmph... What else could I do? I just want to transplant my Supreme Bone to you, right? My ancestor and godfather told me that before I came."
"..."
Dong Mo's voice abruptly stopped.
Although he had guessed it, Dong Yueying might now be very loyal to the family...
But he never expected that Dong Yueying would be so loyal to the family. This wasn't loyalty; this was utterly insane.
Dong Mo laughed in anger: "You know perfectly well that your family wants to harvest your bones for transplantation into me, yet you still come here to persuade me to go back?"
"My family has agreed," Dong Yueying said, meeting Dong Mo's gaze without backing down. "As long as I cooperate with the transplant plan, my family will allocate resources to me, help me solidify my foundation, and even be willing to introduce me to a master in the Desolate Ancient Holy Land!"
As Dong Yueying spoke, her eyes were filled with longing.
Sigh... No wonder this girl was so easily fooled by the Dong family in the original story. It turns out she was completely overwhelmed by the family's promises from the very beginning...
But she didn't realize that the Ancient Holy Land's requirements for accepting disciples were notoriously strict!
Even if the family could really establish a relationship with the Holy Land, why would they lower their family's reputation to beg the Ancient Holy Land to accept her as a disciple for a piece of trash like her who has lost her Supreme Bone and whose cultivation and talent have both been damaged?
Thinking of this, Dong Mo said with a playful expression.
"Aren't you afraid that your family is lying to you? They'll take away your supreme bone and then throw you away like a rag. You'll have nowhere to cry then."
Upon hearing Dong Mo's words, Dong Yueying, who was originally furious, was instantly stunned.
Clearly, before this, this simple-minded girl had never even considered that such a possibility existed!
Seeing her like this, Dong Mo couldn't help but secretly grumble to himself.
Uh... this girl must be a single-celled organism, right?
She didn't even think of something like this? She wasn't this stupid in the game...
Um, okay...
In the story, she's indeed quite dim-witted and no match for the scheming female leads. Otherwise, she wouldn't have earned the embarrassing nickname "Unable to Win" among players...
Thinking of this, Dong Mo couldn't help but sigh, and said to the bewildered Dong Yueying, "What? You didn't completely overlook this possibility before, did you?"
Upon hearing this, Dong Yueying immediately clenched her fists.
"Hmph! Don't try to slander and defame the family! How could we possibly go back on our promises made by the patriarch and the family elders!"
"Besides, so what if the family doesn't give me those things? My life was given to me by the family, so it's only right that I contribute to the family and give back to them!"
At this point, Dong Yueying suddenly changed the subject, speaking to Dong Mo with a slightly sarcastic tone.
"I'm not like some people who take advantage of the benefits their family gives them, then walk away without doing anything, and even turn around and blame the family."
Dong Mo was utterly speechless. This wasn't just stupid; this was a model of filial piety from the Dong family!
In my past life, when I was browsing the comments section of games, none of the trolls in the comments section could come up with such a filial message!
As Dong Mo was thinking this, new text suddenly appeared on the system panel in front of him.
The Supreme Bone is extremely dissatisfied with its current host, Dong Yueying, and her behavior of getting angry at her beloved Dong Mo.
[Hmph! You idiot Dong Yueying! How could you talk to my Gege like that? Apologize to Gege right now, and then let me and Gege be together forever!]
I want to be Pigeon's bone, sticking to him every day!
Looking at Supreme Bone's outrageous remarks about betraying his own people, Dong Mo's eyebrows twitched even more violently.
Tsk, this guy really is always trying to pop up and make his presence known.
With your bones, you're probably not from the fan circle, are you?
The Dong family's purebred filial sons, coupled with the supreme bone of the fan circle...
This combination... is simply divine!
Just as Dong Mo was silently complaining, Dong Yueying suddenly felt a sharp pain and burning sensation in her Supreme Bone.
Sensing the changes in the Supreme Bone within her body, Dong Yueying's eyebrows involuntarily curled up slightly.
Supreme Bone, my old friend...
You also disapprove of Dong Mo's actions?
I felt your unwavering belief!
If Dong Mo knew what his younger sister was thinking at this moment, he would definitely not be able to resist complaining to his little sister.
Is your Supreme Bone's indomitable will real? She's been flirting with me and harassing me ever since the beginning. Can't you do something about her?
Dong Yueying, who was completely unaware of the Supreme Bone's true intentions, suddenly felt emboldened after sensing the changes in the Supreme Bone and sternly rebuked Dong Mo.
"Dong Mo, I really don't know what you're thinking."
"The family has given you such good treatment, but you bastard don't know how to cherish it at all. You only know how to run away and you're not willing to take any responsibility."
"Do you even realize that the treatment you receive is something we ordinary people could only dream of?"
After listening, Dong Mo suddenly smiled, leaned back in his rocking chair, and spoke slowly.
"Did you know? There's a bird in the south called the Yuanchu."
"The phoenix must spread its wings from the South China Sea to fly to the North China Sea. It will not rest on any tree but the parasol tree, it will not eat any seed but bamboo, and it will not drink any water but sweet spring water."
One day, an owl found a rotting dead mouse and was eating it with relish. Just then, a phoenix suddenly flew overhead.
"The owl was so frightened that it looked up and cried out 'Hah!', fearing that the phoenix would steal its treasure."
Dong Moduan said to his younger sister with a half-smile.
"What you call family favor is nothing more than a rotting dead rat in my eyes."
"You..." Dong Yueying's pretty face turned bright red, but she was speechless after being rebuked by Dong Mo.
Seeing her like this, Dong Mo suddenly changed his tone.
"Besides, what can't you understand?"
"Think about it carefully. If I were to leave the family, wouldn't you, with your Supreme Bone, naturally become the family's key focus for cultivation as a born Supreme?"
"So you should be hoping I'll fly away."
Dong Yueying's expression froze, her eyes filled with astonishment.
At this moment, Dong Mo seemed like a complete stranger to her.
The guy in front of me, although he still speaks in the same insidious and mean way as before, the content he says is completely different from what he used to say.
After all, if it were the old Dong Mo, he would probably have slammed his fist on the table and cursed after hearing what she just said. He wouldn't be trying to reason with her like he is now.
Dong Yueying opened her mouth as if to say something, but Dong Mo raised his hand to interrupt her.
"Besides, I made a promise with my father. If I can successfully form my core within a month, he will set me free."
"When I successfully form my core, you will preserve your Supreme Bone."
"We've saved the family a lot of resources. It's a win-win situation for everyone."
"You?" Dong Yueying said bluntly, "With your depleted constitution, how could you possibly form a core?"
"Why not give it a try? What if it works this time?"
Dong Mo shrugged and gave a smug smile.
"Besides, there's still a month left, what's the rush?"
"I, the emperor, am not worried, so why are you, a mere eunuch, in such a hurry?"
Dong Yueying was rendered speechless by Dong Mo's retort, and stammered for a long time, unsure of what to say.
Finally, he simply drew his spirit sword from his waist and gave up on continuing the verbal battle with Dong Mo!
"Clang!"
Dong Yueying's sword, Canhong, was suddenly drawn from its sheath, its blade aimed directly at Dong Mo's throat.
"I can't reason with someone like you. Let's follow the family rules—let's have a duel."
"I am now at the peak of Foundation Establishment, and I can form my core at any time."
"If you can beat me, I'll turn around and leave."
"If you lose, you'll have to come back with me obediently."
At the same moment Dong Yueying drew her spirit sword, Xiao Bai, who had been silent in the courtyard for a long time, suddenly moved.
"Miss Yueying!"
Xiao Bai blocked Dong Mo's path with his sword, using the Purple Nether Sword to deflect Dong Yueying's Broken Rainbow Sword.
Xiao Bai, who was just timid, now exuded an aura as sharp as a blade.
"I cannot stand by and watch you be disrespectful to the young master. If you do not wish to humiliate yourself, please leave."
As soon as Xiao Bai finished speaking, a powerful aura of golden core energy surged out from her body and enveloped Dong Yueying.
However, before Xiao Bai could fully unleash his aura, Dong Mo gently placed his hand on her shoulder.
"Xiao Bai, step down."
Dong Mo's voice was calm, yet undeniable. He stepped out from behind Xiao Bai, a hint of eagerness flashing in his double pupils.
"Yueying, I accept your challenge."
At this moment, Dong Mo was worried about having nowhere to use his sword skills, especially the sword inheritance he had just obtained when he conquered the Purple Nether Sword!
With Dong Yueying as his sparring partner, it's a good opportunity for him to stretch his muscles. If he could even manage to wake up his silly little sister a bit during the match, that would be even better!
As Dong Mo spoke, he reached out his hand to Xiao Bai.
"Xiao Bai, may I borrow your spirit sword?"
