SWNOVELXO Chapter 8:
Chapter 8: Di Tian Uses His Voice to Cast Doubts, The Daughter of Luck Suspects…:
The voice was cold and ethereal, as though spoken by an Immortal untouched by the mortal world. The crowd noticed that the Ye Family’s Little Princess, who had been seated among her family, had disappeared. She now stood calmly in the high-altitude arena, her gaze fixed on Di Tian.
At this moment, the system’s notification echoed in Di Tian’s mind:
[Son of luck, Chu Fan’s mindset is damaged. His luck value has decreased by 100, and the owner’s villain value has increased by 100.]
Hearing this, Di Tian felt a surge of satisfaction, though his expression remained calm.
Unexpectedly, the villain value was accumulating faster than he anticipated.
He turned his gaze to Ye Liuli.
From a distance, she had already appeared stunning, but up close, her beauty was breathtaking, surpassing even the most celebrated actresses from his past life.
Di Tian’s face remained composed as he addressed her.
“Do you realize the cost of provoking the Emperor Family? Are you certain you want to involve yourself in this? Even your Ye Family cannot afford such a price.”
His voice resonated like thunder from the Nine Heavens, leaving the audience in awe. Their perception of Di Tian rose to new heights. Ruthless, decisive, and domineering—he was exactly as the rumors described.
Ye Liuli’s expression faltered, and a trace of killing intent flashed in her eyes. Memories of three years ago flooded her mind.
Di Tian’s domineering demeanor then had been no different from today.
When he came to the Ye Family, it had been with great fanfare. He showed no regard for the family’s status, standing arrogantly in their Great Hall.
“I heard your Ye Family’s supreme bone has become worthless. From this day forward, the Divine Son of the Emperor Family dissolves this engagement,” he had declared, his voice cold and indifferent.
The Ye Family was thrown into chaos. Though anger flared in their eyes, no one dared to voice it. The Emperor Family’s power was insurmountable.
Ye Liuli’s father, the head of the Ye Family, had asked, “Is this the decision of the Emperor Family?”
“It is my decision alone,” Di Tian had replied. “Do you truly believe a waste is worthy of me? Your family should consider it an honor that the engagement was ever made.”
His words left the Ye Family silent.
At that time, Ye Liuli had already been abandoned by her supreme bone, leaving her talent ruined. Those who once respected her now ridiculed her openly.
Despite her plight, she had held on to a shred of hope, believing her fiancé would come to save her. For an entire month, she waited.
When Di Tian finally arrived at the Ye Family estate, her heart brimmed with anticipation. She had hurried to the Great Hall, her clothing worn and unkempt, a stark contrast to his radiant presence.
But her hopes were shattered when his only words to her were, “Break off the engagement.”
Despair overwhelmed her, and her heart was pierced by his parting words: “Do you think you’re worthy of me?”
That day, amidst her humiliation, she had found the strength to stand again. Through clenched teeth, she had declared, “Whether I’m worthy or not is not for you to decide. Di Tian, do you dare make a bet with me? Three years from now, at your coming-of-age ceremony, I will defeat you with my own hands.”
His response had been dismissive. “Interesting. If a waste dares to dream of a comeback, I’ll give you the chance.”
After leaving, she had collapsed in the Great Hall, coughing blood. Her engagement dissolved, Ye Liuli had become the laughingstock of the Divine Realm.
“She’s nothing but a waste,” people had whispered. “She’s not worthy of him.”
But that day marked a turning point. Ye Liuli left the Ye Family, embarking on a journey to reclaim herself. On the endless path of the heavens, she found a trace of her supreme bone’s origin. Through relentless cultivation, her talent not only returned but surpassed her former glory.
Now, three years later, she had come to his coming-of-age ceremony to settle the score.
Her gaze fell briefly on Chu Fan, who lay defeated on the ground, unable to stand. She frowned, suppressing her killing intent, and turned to Di Tian.
“What do you want to do?” she asked, her tone cold.
Di Tian’s expression softened slightly as a gentle smile appeared on his lips, catching Ye Liuli off guard.
“What do I want to do?” he replied. “Di Hai lost, and that’s the end of it. In a battle between the younger generation, defeat is defeat. However, mocking the Emperor Family is another matter. Such insults cannot go unpunished.”
His voice carried authority, and the visitors from the Divine Realm nodded in agreement. Even the Ye Family members acknowledged his reasoning.
“All he needs to do is apologize to my Emperor Family, and this matter will be resolved. On account of your Ye Family, I’ll leave it at that,” Di Tian added.
The crowd was stunned.
Moments ago, Di Tian had exuded ruthless dominance, and now he seemed reasonable and forgiving.
“The rumors must be exaggerated,” someone murmured. “The Divine Son is far more temperate than we were led to believe.”
“If it were any other family, Chu Fan would’ve been executed already for his insolence,” another commented.
Ye Liuli was momentarily speechless, unsure how to respond.
She turned to Chu Fan. “Apologize, and then return to the Ye Family to recover from your injuries.”
Even other Ye Family members urged him. “Chu Fan, apologize to the Emperor Family.”
Kneeling on the ground, Chu Fan’s fists clenched tightly.
Asking him to apologize to the Divine Son of the Emperor Family? Never.
His blood-red eyes glared at Ye Liuli and Di Tian.
“I will not apologize!” he growled. “I’ve done nothing wrong. Why should I bow to him? What makes him so superior?”
[Ding! Chu Fan’s resentment toward Ye Liuli has increased. His mindset is damaged, his luck value has dropped by 100, and the owner’s villain value has increased by 100.]
Di Tian’s lips curved into a faint, fleeting smile as the system notification echoed in his mind.
Ye Liuli’s expression hardened. “Do you even understand what the Emperor Family represents?” she asked coldly.
Arrogance and pride were acceptable traits for prodigies, but Chu Fan’s irrational defiance crossed the line.
At thai moment, a pang of regret struck Ye Liuli’s heart.
She questioned her decision to bring Chu Fan back to the Ye Family, wondering if it had been a mistake.
