Lu Ming snickered, unmoved, and said coldly, “Do you want to run naked or die? Choose one yourself, don’t waste time.”

The teenagers in huafu did not want to die, so they grind their teeth, twisted off their own clothes and threw them on the ground.

Not long after, the three were naked. Naked, all over the body only a single thin lining pants. The cool autumn breeze blew, all of them could not help but shiver up, lowering their heads to hold their arms in embarrassment.

The teenagers in huafu were also shivering all over, freezing or angry, staring at Lu Ming, almost eye to eye, he wanted to kill him with his eyes. The second young master of the He family, when had he ever suffered such a great humiliation? He sneered and threatened, “He Qingci, you better not regret it!”

Lu Ming let go of the boy, before the crowd could react, lifted up half a bucket of water and poured it on him, then said, “Get lost.”

The teenager in huafu shouted, caught off guard. His body was soaked in cold water, just as the cool breeze slowly blew, his body began to shiver, lips frozen purple. “He Qingci, one day, I will kill you with my own hands!”

Lu Ming’s eyes were calm as water, apparently not threatened by it, gently laughed, “Don’t dig your own grave then.”

The teenager in huafu snorted coldly and hurriedly ran towards the courtyard, probably in a hurry to go back to his room and get dressed. The remaining two did not forget to glare at Lu Ming when they left, and only then hurriedly ran up to follow the teenager in huafu, whose figure gradually disappeared not far away.

Lu Ming saw that the three had gone far away, it was a sigh of relief. He hurried to pick up the fallen Fu Shu, gently patted her cheek and called, “Are you okay?”

Fu Shu woke up, although her consciousness was a little blurred, but she also generally knew what happened. She wiped the blood on her cheek, while falling into tears and saying, “Young master, He Qingqiu, he never treated you as a brother, and he is vicious and vengeful. Today he suffered this great humiliation, and must have gone to the first lady to add fuel to the denunciation. What you need to do is to go to the first lady’s office and tell her. Are you… still not miserable enough for yourself?”

Lu Ming shook his head with a light smile and said, “If I don’t resist today, he won’t bother me anymore? Since the ending will not change, it is better to bully back first.”

Fu Shu heard the slightly frozen words. She raised her eyes to look at Lu Ming, her eyes full of disbelief, “Young master, you seem to be different today.”

Lu Ming helped Fu Shu up from the ground and went to sit on a stone bench, his eyes still calm and unruffled. After a long time, he said slowly, “From today, I am a new He Qingci, no longer a cowardly and incompetent young man.”

◆◆◆◆

After hearing himself be called He Qingci, Lu Ming finally knew where he was and what he had become after the car accident. The only thing that made him feel incredibly regretful was that he actually transmigrated into “Immortal Emperor Demon King” and was abused as the number one villain boss, He Qingci.

According to the law of villainy, no matter how cool the boss was before, if he did not do things out of the ordinary, in front of the protagonist, eventually his combat power and IQ were all negative.

Of course, he would be against the protagonist, grab the protagonist’s women, or indirectly kill the protagonist’s mother. Transmigrating as his Shixiong was hypocrisy, but secretly he could do some injustice. Anyway, he could not escape the fate of one day being destroyed by the protagonist.

He Qingci’s final ending was also relatively tragic, and the main character destroyed his soul, never to be reborn. To put it simply, he was uprooted and completely destroyed, even as a ghost, he had no qualification. This was undoubtedly the most horrific punishment in the cultivator world, cutting off all his way of living.

But there were many evil things he did in the past, and he had a brain-dead personality. This ending was certainly very happy. Lu Ming also cursed this scum when he read this novel, why he didn’t get his comeuppance sooner. But now he had become He Qingci, the body had also changed into a different soul. His state of mind was naturally not the same as before, and he could only try to live with this one belief.

Since God had allowed him to live again, he should cherish his life twice as much and live well.

Lu Ming made up his mind, since He Qingci was only fourteen years old now, and he had not yet been able to go to Kunlai Mountain to practice and meet Sang Wusheng, so he should avoid this time bomb. In a few days, Kunlai Mountain would come to accept disciples from the He family, and it was better for him not to go.

Lu Ming retracted his thoughts and stood at the edge of the lake to look into the water. The lake immediately reflected a yellow-faced, thin young man, obviously malnourished.

Lu Ming sighed. He Qingci as the He family young master, was left in such a state, this could also be considered the fate of man. Being associated with someone who would seek revenge over a dirty look, this kind of dark character was inane. In fact, there are signs. Especially in the Artifact Refining Sect.

But it did not show in his Artifact Refining ability. This kind of thing for him, he may not be able to accept it in his life.

In the cultivation world, if one were to talk about the Artifact Refining Sect, one would have to mention the He family.

The He family was one of the four Artifact Refining Sect families. They were ranked third in the Artifact Refining Great Sect and in the Cultivation World, they were a first-class luxury family. How many people, who would just hear the He surname, felt daunted and envious. But anyone who was related to the He family, no one wanted to have anything to do with the He family, only then would they feel superior. The current patriarch of the He family was admired by millions, and powerful, this person was He Qingci’s real father, He Yuanqi.

He Yuanqi usually looked like a modest gentleman, but in fact, he was a hypocritical person. Five years ago, He Qingci was tested to be of excellent qualifications, and found to have a rare earth spiritual root in a thousand years. He had been forgotten in the side room for nine years but now He Qingci and his mother were brought to live in the main house. Everyday after was  warm and fuzzy.

However, because of bad luck, in the following five years, He Qingci’s spiritual root was suddenly destroyed for no reason. At first, everyone thought it was because of a serious illness, but later he began to fall apart. Even his most basic aura could not be used.

He Yuanqi searched all over the world for famous doctors but no one could cure him. He began to alienate him day by day, and finally went to the extent of not listening, letting the main wife and her son deal with him. He Qingqiu’s biological mother, Liu Shuyun bullied, abused, scolded, deducted food and pocket money, and He Qingci spent days of hardship in the He House. He Yuanqi, although he heard about it, he had one eye open and one eye closed. He only casually reprimanded Liu Shuyun with two sentences.

Just one day before Lu Ming transmigrated into this book, He Qingci, because his mother was sick, quietly ran to the backyard and stole a chicken intending to boil soup to drink. He did not expect the fat cook in charge of the He House meals to find him.

The fat cook was also a bad-hearted person who liked to bully the weak and flatter the strong. He Qingci was accused of stealing food from the kitchen, and even dared to drink the spiritual plants soup that only He Yuanqi was entitled to.

This was not a big deal, but Liu Shuyun had the intention to make trouble, and to set an example for stealing a chicken, she used the whip to beat He Qingci severely for half an hour, and let him kneel in the hot sun for half a day, and only then let him go. He Qingci was unable to resist and had to drag his already weak body through the hundreds of lashes and kneeled for a long time in the hot sun, finally fainting due to physical exhaustion.

All in all, his childhood misfortune led to a dark heart, which was the root cause of his complete descent into the demonic path. At this moment, a servant rushed over and shouted at Lu Ming from a distance, “Young master, the First Lady wants you to go to the dining room to drink medicine.”

Lu Ming frowned, drink medicine? How could the First Lady be so kind as to remind him to drink the medicine?

The houseboy saw Lu Ming standing by the river and did not move, so he shouted, “If you are late, even I will suffer, why don’t you go now?”

Lu Ming’s eyes were not rippling as he slowly walked over and asked, pretending not to notice, “I’ve almost forgotten, when was the last time I drank medicine?”

The servant was busy pushing Lu Ming forward while saying impatiently, “Young master, are you suffering from amnesia? You have drunk a big bowl of this soup every day for nearly five years, and you can forget such things?”

Lu Ming didn’t answer, but he had a plan in his heart. He Qingci’s original qualification was one of the best in the world with his spiritual root, but unfortunately, when he was nine years old, he inadvertently entered the secret realm of the He family, and was injured by an evil beast. A He family elder found the secret realm, went to check and found the dying He Qingci in a pool of blood, and rushed to save him. 

Although He Qingci recovered his life, his body was severely injured, coupled with a huge shock, followed by a serious illness, he lay in bed for half a year before being able to barely move. Sadly, after this catastrophe, He Qingci was traumatized and his foundation collapsed, his spiritual root completely destroyed.

Lu Ming thought, He Qingci had always been obedient and good so why did he unwarranted intrude in the secret realm, which had a maze inside? He started taking this medicine a few years ago because it was offered by the first lady, and every time she personally supervised him to drink it. If there is nothing fishy, that was even more unlikely.

Lu Ming thought about all of this while following the houseboy through a rockery. They walked along the stone path for a while, before reaching the dining hall. Lu Ming walked in and raised his eyes to the front, only to see a beautiful woman with a pretty face and a noble air, now lazily reclining on a soft couch.

The couch was spread out with fine fur, and the body was carved from black sandalwood and inlaid with many jewels. The woman was dressed in a set of elegant gold silk embroidered thread dress, hair held up with a jade phoenix hairpin. The corners of her eyes were slightly raised, showing an enchanted look. But the look in her eyes was very arrogant, the entire person and the simple furnishings of the dining hall looked out of place.

Lu Ming’s heart was clear. This woman should be the main wife of the He family, the first lady Liu Shuyun.

Lu Ming recalled the novel chapter in his memory. The novel only used a few strokes to summarize the identity of the first wife, but led Lu Ming to know of her ruthless desperate impression. That’s because all the misfortunes that befell He Qingci’s childhood were almost all caused by this woman.
