On the way back.
Ye Ming leaned against the passenger seat, using this opportunity to check his panel.
[Name: Ye Ming]
[Spirituality: Max-level Spirituality]
[Realm: First-Tier Contractor (0 / 10000)]
[Mental Energy: 100]
[Qi and Blood: 100]
[contracted spirit: Godfall Dark Night Demon Emperess ]
[contracted spirit Rank: SSS-Rank (Upgradeable)]
[Spirit Skills: Dark Domain, godfall demon armor, Eternal Night Descends]
[Dark Domain (Level 1): Centering on oneself, releases a Domain with a five-meter radius. Others within the Domain will be affected by fear, and you can merge into the darkness to achieve absolute stealth.]
[Godfall demon armor (Level 1): A top-tier battle armor that fuses the power of shadow and night. Upon wearing it, strength, speed, and Physical Body strength will all be greatly enhanced.]
[Eternal Night Descends (Level 1): Darkness envelops, death descends. You can unleash a judgment strike, dealing ten times damage to a single target; or you can pull multiple targets into darkness, dealing area-of-effect damage.]
[Spiritual Talent]
[Talent One: Slaughter Growth]
[Slaughter Growth: Blood and death excite you. Any creature that dies by your hand will transform into your power, and your Realm advancement will no longer encounter a Bottleneck.]
[Talent Two: Demon Emperess Battle Intent]
[Demon Emperess Battle Intent: When battling Contractors of the same Realm, your abilities will be enhanced tenfold.]
"Oh my, is this the benefit of contracting a Demon Empress?"
After reading the panel, even with Ye Ming's composure, he couldn't help but gasp.
This was simply too exaggerated!
First, Mental Energy and Qi and Blood, both at 100 points.
It doesn't sound like much.
But Ye Ming remembered that even an SSS-Rank Saintess Contractor only received 50 points of initial Qi and Blood and Mental Energy!
He had doubled it!
Looking at the three Spirit Skills, whether it was the Dark Domain that allowed for absolute stealth, the godfall demon armor that boosted attributes and combat capability, or the versatile Eternal Night Descends.
Their descriptions all conveyed two words.
Comprehensive!
Too comprehensive!
And they were very suitable for Ye Ming.
Especially the absolute stealth of the Dark Domain.
For an assassin, this was simply a dream-like divine skill!
As for the final Spiritual Talent, this was something all Contractors would Awaken, but Ye Ming's Spiritual Talent was clearly of a high Rank.
Especially the Demon Emperess Battle Intent.
"When fighting Contractors of the same Realm, power increases tenfold. How is that different from being invincible among peers?!"
Ye Ming felt increasingly that choosing a Contracted Demoness was the most correct decision he had ever made in his life!
Sensing Ye Ming's excitement.
Ying Youyou, who existed in his spiritual sea, also smiled.
However, Ye Xinxin, who was driving beside him, didn't think so.
She glanced at Ye Ming and snorted:
"Brat, you still have the mood to smile?"
"Max-level Spirituality contracting a Contracted Demoness, what you did makes me feel angry."
"When we get home, it'll be a miracle if Second Uncle and the others don't flay you alive!"
"Also, let me tell you something, your most feared Fourth Uncle is also back. You can just wait to be doomed."
Hmm?
Reminded by his Older Sister.
Ye Ming's memories of the Ye Family became even clearer.
The Ye Family.
One of the well-known Families in Cangnan City.
It owns ten large enterprises and controls forty percent of Cangnan City's industries, and is known as one of the two major Families in Cangnan alongside the Wang Family, to which Wang Haoyang belongs.
On the surface, the Ye Family had many spokespersons, but Ye Ming knew that the true controllers of the Ye Family were his Three Uncles.
Second Uncle Ye Jun, loyal and righteous, skilled in strategy, managed the entire Ye Family meticulously.
Third Uncle, meticulous in thought, managed the Family's economy, a shrewd and capable individual.
Fourth Uncle Ye Zheng, powerful, upright and unyielding, a man of few words but with forceful methods.
As for Ye Ming's biological parents.
They died in a Vicious Beast attack shortly after he was born, while fighting Vicious Beasts.
Over the years, the Three Uncles had raised Ye Ming, and they were all very good to him.
"There was no plot of parents dying and being abandoned by everyone."
Among the Three Uncles, Ye Ming was closest to Second Uncle Ye Jun, who doted on him the most.
He disliked Third Uncle the most.
Because of his high education and extensive dealings with books.
Third Uncle loved to lecture Ye Ming and criticize all his minor mistakes.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he was a bit too fond of acting as a teacher.
The one he feared the most was Fourth Uncle Ye Zheng.
He was the captain of the Guard Army of the Third Border City, a Fifth-Tier Contract Master, and his contracted spirit was an S-Rank Saintess of the Immovable Rock.
Powerful as he was, every time he returned home, he would inevitably discipline Ye Ming.
If he didn't complete his training tasks, Ye Ming going hungry for a few meals or getting a few beatings was considered light punishment.
Of course!
The Three Uncles had different personalities, but they all believed in one truth.
Strength above all!
If you have strength, as long as you don't commit heinous crimes, whatever you do is right!
"Ye Ming, did I cause you trouble?"
Ying Youyou in the spiritual sea asked with some embarrassment.
Ye Ming waved his hand and said, "What kind of trouble is this? It's just dealing with a few elders."
"Easy peasy!"
The Ye Family.
Inside a luxuriously decorated courtyard.
As soon as Ye Ming stepped through the door, he could feel the cold aura emanating from the training room.
"Exposed killing intent, the Three Uncles are not suitable to be assassins." Ye Ming habitually commented.
"You still have the mood to talk about this?"
Ye Xinxin gave him a strange glance, then urged,
"Hurry up, the Three Uncles are waiting for you in the training room!"
Ye Ming walked into the training room, which covered an area of three hundred square meters.
He saw the Three Uncles sitting in the main seats, quietly looking at him.
"Hmph!"
"Ye Ming, you still dare to come back?"
"Do you know what you've done?"
"Why aren't you hurrying over to apologize to our ancestors and your parents?!"
It was Third Uncle who spoke. He had a thin, stern face, and his eyes were wide as if he wanted to devour someone.
Ye Ming looked up and instantly frowned.
Well, these Three Uncles were really interesting.
They even brought out the ancestral tablets and the spirit tablets of his parents.
Ye Ming walked in front of the Three Uncles and the spirit tablets.
However, he made no movement.
Third Uncle frowned and roared:
"Didn't you hear me tell you to apologize?!"
"I didn't do anything wrong, what am I apologizing for?"
As soon as Ye Ming spoke, Third Uncle and the other two were stunned, then their faces simultaneously darkened.
Ye Xinxin, outside the door, sighed, covering her forehead,
"Well, it's completely over."
"Good boy, you Awakened a Max-level Spirituality, now your wings are hard, and you won't listen to your uncles, is that it?!"
Third Uncle was trembling with anger.
From childhood, Ye Ming had always obeyed his discipline.
Today, in front of his elder brother and the ancestors, he actually rebelled!
"You still have the nerve to ask what your mistake is?"
"What did I tell you before you left? No matter what Spirituality you Awaken, you must choose a Saintess."
"Our Ye Family has some strength. If you chose a Saintess, we could pave the way for you, but what did you do today?"
"Max-level Spirituality contracting a Contracted Demoness, it's simply a waste of natural resources! What's the difference between this and feeding ginseng to pigs?!"
Third Uncle's words grew more and more intense. His face was flushed with anger, especially when he saw Ye Ming's cold expression, which made him even more furious!
"Alright, Third Brother, don't get so angry. This matter cannot be resolved in a short time." Second Uncle patted Third Uncle's shoulder.
"Second Brother!"
"What time is it, and you're still spoiling this brat?"
"Do you want to watch him ruin himself with your own eyes?!"
"Elder Brother and Sister-in-law entrusted Ye Ming to us, we cannot ruin him. This would be a betrayal of their trust in us."
Third Uncle pounded his chest, his voice trembling.
He looked at Ye Ming again, his eyes filled with a look of disappointment, wishing he could do better,
"I just can't understand. We haven't treated you badly all these years, why would you do this?"
"What good does contracting a Contracted Demoness do for you? Do you know what choosing a Contracted Demoness means?"
"Child, you have not only ruined your own future, but you have also ruined your parents' expectations of you..."
"Enough, Third Uncle!"
At this moment.
Ye Ming, who had been silent, suddenly looked up at Third Uncle.
He clenched his fists, Battle Intent bursting from his chest,
"Ultimately, isn't it just because I contracted a Contracted Demoness and you're worried I'll ruin my future?"
"Since that's the case, let's speak with strength then!"
"I guess you should have been prepared already."
