ATSWM Chapter 40.3

Chapter 40.3 You Are Being Jealous

At this moment, You Wuming seemed to have turned into a piece of falling snow between heaven and earth.

Huangfu Du said: “This time, Father was seriously injured. Mother asked me to pretend to be Father and lead the snake out of the cave. In fact, it was also to cover for Father. Father has made a long detour from Jiang state through the Zhao state, and then returned to Dong state. You Wuming, you can’t kill Father anymore. It’s time to think about your own retreat now. “

As soon as this remark came out, everyone’s expressions couldn’t help but become more solemn. To kill Huangfu Jun, they need to be quick, accurate and ruthless. If they fail, they really have to consider the aftermath.

“How old are you?” You Wuming asked a question that made everyone confused.

Huangfu Du was stunned: “Twenty four. Why?”

You Wuming chuckled: “Very good. Very good.”

Sang Yuanyuan felt a burst of heartache. You Wuming is twenty five this year, and Huangfu Du is twenty four. This means that as soon as Jiang Yanji gave birth to You Wuming, she abandoned the father and son pair, quietly threw herself into Huangfu Jun’s arms and gave birth to another son for him.

In this way, it seems that from the very beginning, Jiang Yanji was simply interested in using Teacher Ming only!

Huangfu Du saw that You Wuming looked somewhat in a trance and hurriedly  said, “You can use me to threaten them and get the benefits you want. You Wuming, you have ambition and the ability. You are also a smart person. You naturally know that keeping my life will bring you thousands of times the benefits. “

In Huangfu Du’s eyes, there seemed to be stars spinning. He raised his hand to wipe off the blood stains on the corners of his lips. His voice was ethereal: “You Wuming, you will not kill me. You will take me back and cure my wounds, right?”

You Wuming was in a trance for a moment, and then he bowed slightly and stretched out a hand towards Huangfu Du who was on the ground.

Huangfu Du’s eyes were filled with the wild joy of surviving a disaster. struggling to grasp the hand handed over by You Wuming.

You Wuming pulled him up from the ground and straightly hugged him in his arms.

Huangfu Du:“……”

He found that this lunatic, You Wuming, had no warmth temperature on his body at all.

His breath was as cold as a snake’s. The cold lunatic slowly put his head on Huangfu Du’s shoulder and with his lips on his ears, he exhaled: “How could I let you go?”

Huangfu Du’s heart got a chill. When he was about to struggle, he found that a cold and hard hand had been pressed against the back of his neck.

Suddenly his vision was tilted by ninety degrees. The terrible sense of torn apart and darkness came together. Before Huangfu Du died, he figured out the way he died——his neck bone was broken by You Wuming and his head was torn off.

You Wuming pushed away Huangfu Du’s headless body and let his blood splattered on the pure white snow.

He grabbed Huangfu Du’s hair, carried his head to the front, and said in a low and serious voice to the man who had lost his life——

“Oh, my biological (younger) brother.”

His voice was so light that only the remnant soul of Huangfu Du could hear it.

……

You Wuming carried that head and shook it a few times.

When he turned around, his face was already covered with that casual smile mask again. He threw the head, which was no longer bleeding, to A Gu and said, “Keep it nicely! It will have a big use later. “

“Yes!” A Gu’s legs moved simultaneously and caught Huangfu Du’s beautiful head.

Sang Bujin frowned, and said : “Huangfu Jun, this old fox, is really extremely audacious!”

The Dong state’s one hundred personal bodyguards and the escort emissaries were all here guarding the bait, so Huangfu Jun’s side is basically left with no one anymore. With only a few confidants and dragging a seriously injured body, he went back to Dong state through a long route. He was really bold and cautious, showing his true nature of a fierce and ambitious person.

    Hmm…I would have preferred it if he had taken away his cultivation (making him useless/harmless) and then used him as bait since he was already playing that role. Don’t know what his head will do except to anger Huangfu Jun and, (if there’s a semblance of motherly affection in Yianji) the empress too.

        1. No. I don’t think so. In this world where it seems all the sons of kings are powerful, statistically there should be some wastes. Especially when you grow up knowing your cushy background will always help you.

          Plus I think you forgot the ml is top 3 strongest in this world, after his uncle and mom. Killing someone like that is that easy for him.

        Huh? It’s been so long since I read this that I was confused for a moment but you misunderstood my comment. I didn’t mean for him to steal his cultivation for himself. I just meant to get rid of it so that he becomes unable to fight back. Thought that was pretty clear with what I added in the brackets.

      To be fair, I was under the impression that You Wuming being kin to the empress was super top-secret. Thus, Huangfu Du wouldn’t know about it. I think the idiot was just name-dropping in the hopes that it would be big enough to garner a moment’s pause. Note that he tried hypnotizing You Wuming almost immediately afterward.

    Figured as much. .

    Yeah so indeed it was all a play from the start, poor old Ming indeed had a son while wearing a green hat ….. Sigh. …. Again women, am I right or am I right folks?

    Welp hope YW doesn’t regress from the big progress mc had been able to make on his psyche.

    Tbh just as the original MC was stupid but technically innocent (which ruin a lot of people), this son might not know anything for the fact that he said something that he really shouldn’t have said.

    I think it was implied that ML had the bloodline of TWO ‘great 3 evils’ in him and the mother, the empress, is an enchantress? So did the original cannon fodder stepbrother, who should be an enchanter himself enchant the enchantress? Does that even compute? They do not have immunity amongst each other??

      recall when we met the first enchanter who was meant to be sacrifice. she brought up bloodline suppression. so either theres a ranking or it cancels out. so going by this new information, we know its a ranking system where weaker enchanters cant overpower stronger ones

      its also possible he just straight up seduced her without enchanting her
