Reborn Heiress: Seeking Revenge-Chapter 665: Ye Sanshao’s Domineering Presence (2)_1

"Guardians must not marry in their lifetime, unless there’s a major crisis."

"Nonsense!" Shangguan You snapped. A major crisis... When Lin Mengjie chose Shangguan Hao back then, that truly *was* a significant crisis.

"Girl, don’t mind them. They’re just a bunch of ignorant, obstinate old fools. Besides, these old fools have been manipulated by others now, so don’t take it to heart." Ye An gently wrapped his arm around Shangguan You and whispered into her ear.

"Young Master, you must not associate with this enchantress! The Ye Family has chosen the Young Madam for you, and it is Ye An Ya. Only An Ya is truly worthy of you."

"Young Master, please reconsider."

"Young Master, I can ignore other matters, but this one concerns the life and death of the Ye Family! Please think it over, Young Master, and seize this enchantress!"

"That’s right! Anyone who intrudes upon the Ye Family will be killed without mercy! Young Master, please step aside!"

"Young Master, the one An Ya has always thought of is you! You were unconscious for four months, and An Ya worried for four months. How can you treat An Ya like this?" A frail sob broke out. Ye An Ya looked pitifully at Ye An, her expression unspeakably anguished.

The Elders of the Ye Family knelt on the ground, weeping bitterly towards Ye An. Shangguan You’s eyebrows furrowed slightly. She couldn’t shake the feeling that something wasn’t quite right.

Ye An stood firmly by her side, his expression still light as a breeze, showing no sign of being swayed by their coercion.

"Eldest Young Master Ye, Elder Mi, An Ya, what do you mean by this?" Ye An’s icy voice rang in everyone’s ears, filled with intense oppression and even a trace of hostility.

"Young Master, please seize this enchantress!"

"Heh." Ye An chuckled lightly. Looking at the crowd kneeling before him, he pulled Shangguan You tightly into his embrace in front of everyone.

"The woman I, Ye An, have set my sights on—the woman I intend to spend my life with! Do you think I would change my mind for you? Would I give her up for your hypocritical charades? Are you all too naive, too self-righteous?" Ye An’s voice carried his usual arrogance and disdain. His aura, proclaiming ’it’s her and no one else,’ was so overwhelming that everyone present struggled to breathe.

"Eldest Brother, you’ve worn that false mask for eighteen whole years. Isn’t it time to take it off? Do you still think there’s any need to continue this charade?" Ye An’s tone shifted, and he spoke coldly to Eldest Young Master Ye.

"Young Master, what do you mean? I don’t understand," Eldest Young Master Ye said faintly. The wheelchair, pushed by Ye Min, involuntarily moved a few steps closer to Ye An.

"Are you truly going to protect this enchantress, Shangguan You? Young Master, you really must reconsider!" Eldest Young Master Ye spoke again, his voice full of feigned concern. His gaze towards Shangguan You was like a sharp knife, as if he wished he could stab her a few more times.

"Eldest Young Master Ye, if we’re talking about demonic charm, the one who truly fits that description is you, you demon man. Compared to you, I admit I fall short," Shangguan You coldly glanced at Eldest Young Master Ye, her entire body on alert. This man smiled while hiding a dagger; she didn’t dare lower her guard, fearing he might strike at any moment.

"HAHAHA! Shangguan You, do you really think that just because the Young Master protects you, you can be so arrogant, so dismissive of everyone?" Eldest Young Master Ye’s voice turned cold, and even the surrounding air seemed to chill by several degrees.

"Elder Mi, fellow Elders! The Young Master is now beyond saving! For this enchantress, he’s even disregarding his own family. Let’s kill this enchantress together!"

"That’s right, Eldest Young Master Ye is correct! This enchantress has bewitched both the Young Master and the Second Young Master. And she even dared to intrude upon the Ye Family’s main estate! No one has ever intruded on the Ye Family and lived to tell the tale."

"Young Master, you must really think carefully!" As Eldest Young Master Ye finished speaking, the Ye Family Elders surrounding the three put on benevolent facades, urging him piously, even as their gazes towards Shangguan You burned with even deeper hatred.

"Hmph. Eldest Young Master Ye, do you think this trick of yours will work on me?" Shangguan You scoffed, her left hand held tightly by Ye An.

"Eldest Brother, do you really want to see us brothers turn against each other?" Ye An’s deep eyes flickered, his voice somewhat cold as he and the Second Young Master flanked Shangguan You, protecting her between them.

"Young Master, this is all this enchantress’s fault! Let’s kill her together!" Eldest Young Master Ye sneered. A loud SQUEAKING erupted, and a swarm of countless tiny black creatures, like a dense net, surged towards the three of them from all directions.

"Why don’t you say it’s all your fault, you demon man? Today, I’ll kill you, you demon man!" Shangguan You laughed coldly. With a flick of her hands, a massive Infernal Fire Dragon surged from her body, attacking the swarming insects from all directions.

SIZZLE! CRACKLE! The distinct sounds of burning filled everyone’s ears, and the surrounding air became thick with a pungent, scorched smell.

"HAHAHA! Shangguan You, you think too highly of yourself! Did you believe these things would still fear you after one or two encounters?" Eldest Young Master Ye roared with laughter. His body, previously seated, rose from the wheelchair to hover in mid-air. He laughed heartily at the three, while the Ye Family Elders gathered around him, closely watching their every move.

Shangguan You’s frown deepened. Inferno Fire was supposed to be the bane of these insects. But today, they seemed unafraid of it. Their originally black exteriors had even turned crimson due to the Inferno Fire, and their eyes were now blood-red. Had these bugs mutated again?

In an instant, the space around the three was swarming with a dense mass of Red Beetles. The air was permeated with an unbearable, acrid stench of burning.

"Girl, stand behind me. I’ll deal with these things," Ye An said reassuringly, pulling Shangguan You behind him. A hint of a wicked smile touched his lips, though a cold, murderous intent flashed in his deep eyes.

"These are mutated strains! Don’t let them touch you, and don’t let them get close! Otherwise..." Shangguan You’s eyebrows knitted together as she spoke softly to both Ye An and the Second Young Master. If these things manage to burrow in, it will be incredibly troublesome. They might even spawn something more formidable, and these creatures can pass on their abilities. That’s a risk no one can afford. She didn’t want to see either the Second Young Master or Ye An take such a gamble.
