Beastmaster: I don’t want to be a breeder!

Li Shiji seemed to see through Li Cunxu's thoughts.

“The father you buried was just a substitute dummy.”

So that's how it was... Hmm? Grandpa, how did you know?

Li Cunxu looked at Li Shiji.

Li Shiji understood Li Cunxu's gaze, "It's just as you think, I dug it up to verify it."

"Originally, I didn't want to tell you, planning to wait until I found your parents before telling you, but... time waits for no one."

Li Shiji sighed deeply.

This time, Li Shiji's massacre didn't end there; on the contrary, it had only just begun.

The bloody revenge that unfolded in Pupil City due to personal grudges had a terrible impact. Furthermore, there were Li Shiji's enemies among the higher-ups of the Pupil City Alliance. The Pupil City Alliance wouldn't easily forgive Li Shiji. The current calm was only because the Pupil City Alliance couldn't deal with Li Shiji's infinite resurrection; it was just a temporary compromise and appeasement.

If the Pupil City Alliance found a way to break Li Shiji's infinite resurrection, they would not hesitate to eliminate him.

It's like Song Jiang in Water Margin. The imperial court realized they couldn't defeat Liangshan, so they bribed them with high-ranking positions and salaries. In that era, who didn't want to be an official? Thus, the heroes of Liangshan, led by Song Jiang, were appeased. Then, the imperial court used the method of boiling a frog in warm water, gradually eliminating their forces, and in the end, most of the 108 heroes of Liangshan died tragically, even the leader Song Jiang met a bleak end, poisoned by poisoned wine.

Besides the aftermath not being over, there were also subsequent consequences yet to unfold, which made Li Shiji, with his long-term vision, feel troubled and headache.

Li Shiji killed many enemies.

Did the number of enemies decrease?

No.

Not only did it not decrease, but it increased.

Enemies also have relatives and friends. When you kill an enemy, those close to them will become your new enemies.

If an enemy has two close sworn brothers, then Li Shiji, by killing this enemy, would incur the enmity of two enemies.

If an enemy has three brothers who are as close as siblings, then Li Shiji, by killing this enemy, would incur the enmity of three enemies.

If an enemy has five children, then Li Shiji, by killing this enemy, would incur the enmity of five mortal enemies who wished to grind his bones to ash.

… …

In short, the aftermath of this incident was very serious, so serious that Li Shiji was not confident in safely overcoming it.

In fact, there was a simple way to deal with this matter, just like in the game in his previous life. Li Shiji could defect from the alliance. In this way, Li Shiji would go from being in the open to being in the shadows. It wouldn't be so easy for his enemies to deal with him. At the end of the game in his previous life, his enemies still hadn't killed Li Shiji. Instead, because Li Shiji became stronger and stronger, his enemies gave up the idea of revenge, fearing that Li Shiji would target them.

Unlike now, where he has become an obvious target, anyone can try to test him.

The reason Li Shiji made a different choice from his previous life and didn't defect from the alliance was because he had Li Cunxu and Li Anle in this life.

Li Shiji's strong hand heavily patted Li Cunxu on the shoulder.

“Protect yourself, and also protect your sister.”

“Okay.”

Li Cunxu asked, “Then, Grandpa, have you found Father and Mother?”

“No.” Li Shiji's expression was serious, “You two promise me, don't go looking for them until you reach the King level?”

In case Li Cunxu and his sister broke their verbal promise, Li Shiji took out a promise contract for them to sign.

“Why?”

Li Shiji showed an expression that he would only say if they signed.

Li Cunxu thought that Grandpa wouldn't harm them, there must be a reason for him to do this.

Li Cunxu signed, and Li Anle followed suit.

Seeing that they had both signed, Li Shiji slowly said, “The trouble your parents provoked is very big, forcing them to fake their deaths to escape. I was very curious, so I sent a Overlord-level pet to investigate this matter and your parents' whereabouts, but it ended with that Overlord-level pet being instantly killed.”

“That pet was Overlord level nine. Only a King, and a very powerful one among Kings, could instantly kill it.”

In fact, Li Cunxu had always known that the water in his parents' affair was very deep. From his sister Li Anle, it could be seen that she was jointly contaminated by the power of four evil gods, which was not something ordinary forces could do.

When they were almost finished eating, Li Shiji put down his chopsticks and took out two red jade talismans, “These are notification talismans. If, after I leave, you encounter a life-or-death crisis that even the life-saving jade can't overcome, you smash them, and I will come as quickly as possible.”

“Okay.” × 2

Li Shiji thought for a while and still felt it wasn't safe enough, so he waved his hand.

Two balls of dark shadows emerged, transforming into two graceful, slender shadow women with shadow blades inserted in their waists.

Li Shiji said, “These two Overlord level nine shadow female generals will usually hide in your shadows. If you encounter danger, summon them to deal with it. If they can't handle it, then use the life-saving jade.”

After dinner, a letter with wings flew in, urging Li Shiji to go to the front line as soon as possible.

Before leaving, Li Shiji said a few heartfelt words.

“After I leave, Anle, never mention my name again within the family. Cunxu, you can use the fact that I didn't attend your parents' funeral to write articles online scolding me. Say whatever harsh things you can…”

Li Cunxu could see that Li Shiji was having Li Cunxu and Li Anle cut ties with him, fearing that he would implicate them.

For a moment, Li Cunxu's heart was filled with mixed feelings.

As for those enemies of Li Shiji, if they dared to come looking for trouble, then so be it!

Who was afraid of whom?

Besides, none of the people Li Shiji killed were innocent. They were secretly colluding with evil gods, supporting evil gods, betraying humanity, and selling out humans.

Early the next morning, Li Cunxu set off to find cultists and borrow some merit points.

Li Anle pouted, unhappy, “Ah? Leaving again?”

Li Cunxu said helplessly, “Something to do, busy.”

“I can go with you.”

“No, the place I'm going is a bit dangerous. Also, even if I agree, the family won't agree to let me take you out.”

The Holy Lotus Li family had invested so much in Li Anle, wanting to wait for Li Anle to grow up and establish the Red Lotus Li family. Before the investment was recovered, Li Anle couldn't have any accidents. If something happened, wouldn't the investment be in vain? How could the Holy Lotus Li family tolerate that?

Therefore, the Holy Lotus Li family certainly wouldn't allow Li Anle to go out.

Why did the Holy Lotus Li family invest so much in Li Anle, almost contracting all of Li Anle's pets and all the resources needed for all the pets, while the investment in Li Cunxu was not so great?
