Capítulo 8: The One I Want
This family hierarchy is a bit confusing.
Forget it, I'll teach you slowly later.
Wen Meng: "..."
After all, they had only just learned to speak.
The society of the disaster beasts is far less complex than that of humans.
The moon is at its zenith, stars twinkling,
Wen Meng, nestled between the two little ones, drifted into a sweet dream.
And tens of thousands of light-years away from this remote desolate star, there was a group of people who couldn't sleep at night.
The Imperial Star Upper City, Wen Family.
A luxurious aerial villa floating amidst the mountains and forests was brightly lit at this moment.
The airborne villa is a luxurious status symbol of the aristocratic class, requiring a significant amount of energy to keep the house afloat
In the eyes of the common people, the exorbitant expense wasn't even enough to stir the slightest ripple in their hearts.
But they were not without troubles either.
Now, an incredibly thorny issue urgently needs to be resolved.
Wen Meng disappeared.
The Wen family didn't notice a thing.
If it weren't for the Imperial Major General Huo Xiao losing his temper on the spot at tonight's engagement banquet.
The Wen family had not yet realized,
Their idea of secretly replacing Wen Meng with Wen Xin for the marriage was utterly foolish and absurd.
"I respectfully call you Uncle Wen, but it seems you don't take me, Huo Xiao, seriously."
Huo Xiao's voice was coated with a layer of frost.
Generals who have spent years leading troops on the battlefield always carry a subtle aura of menace, commanding respect without anger.
It was not something that a decadent noble like Wen Jiayi, who lived off the empire's stipend, could withstand.
"General Huo, what are you saying?"
The head of the Wen family, Wen Jiayi, hurriedly offered a conciliatory smile.
To be so obsequious to a junior, and even more so to someone who was about to become his son-in-law,
It was also pathetic.
But who could have expected that the man in front of her was the young general of the Huo family?
The entire Star Realm, half ruled by the Emperor Star's leaders, the other half by the Huo family.
The highly centralized military power enabled the Huo family to even influence the leaders of the empire.
In other words, as long as they wanted to rebel, the empire's leaders wouldn't even have a chance to resist.
However, they seemed uninterested in power struggles, only wanting to protect the Emperor Star.
Not to mention Huo Xiao, who awakened an S-level superpower at the age of just 15
When battling other galaxies, he affectionately received the title "Whip of Death" from his neighbors.
The supernatural abilities continued to strengthen with age, and the latest ability rating machine had maxed out, unable to measure the upper limit.
According to conservative estimates, Huo Xiao is now at least SS level.
Faced with such a monster, no one could remain unflinching.
"We were thinking like this..." Wen Jiayi began to steady Huo Xiao
"Wen Xin is my biological daughter," he tried to justify his actions
"The previous one was the daughter of a rural farmer,"
"Since she is to be matched with General Huo, her bloodline must naturally be pure."
Wen Jiayi believed he had considered everything thoroughly and appropriately.
Unexpectedly, it was nothing but a wishful delusion.
"Oh? Pure bloodline? How come I don't know what's so special about the Wen family's bloodline?"
Huo Xiao let out a cold laugh, thought for a moment, and then said in a tone of sudden realization,
"You mean, even with a lantern, your whole family couldn't find an S-class superpower?"
"Especially you, Mr. Wen."
Feeling toyed with by the Wen family, Huo Xiao was furious
Fiercely jabbed Wen Jiayi's lungs.
Moreover, everything he said was true.
As nobles, the Wen family's bloodline was the weakest in the entire star realm when it came to awakening supernatural abilities.
There is almost no noble family that, even with the combined efforts of the entire family, can find a single S-class superhuman.
Apart from the Wen family..
As if it had been predetermined, the abilities awakened by the Wen family members were all low-rated ones like CDEF.
Mother Wen D, Eldest Brother E, Second Brother C, Third Brother D,
Looking again at Old Master Wen's ability rating, it turned out to be an F!
Putting the Wen family in the lottery box, everyone who draws gets a consolation prize
But at least, they also have prizes.
Wen Meng was the only one who hadn't awakened any special abilities.
And the true daughter, Wen Xin, only awakened her supernatural abilities shortly after returning to the Wen family.
At that time, the Wen family didn't take it seriously
After all, DEF had seen a lot.
It wasn't until Wen Xin took the ability test at school that her ability level actually reached Grade A
Although not S-class, in the Wen family, this was an unparalleled existence.
Shake off the others' faults!
Wen Xin's special ability is beast control.
The A-level just meets the threshold for beast-taming.
With Wen Xin's current beast-taming abilities, she could only control small creatures like reptiles and ants.
Controlling their movement paths, having too many won't work, the ability will fail.
But even so, the entire Wen family was as happy as if it were the New Year.
A special room was set up with an incubator, where a bunch of insects were kept inside
Practicing supernatural abilities with Wen Xin.
And that vacant room was Wen Meng's former walk-in closet.
When Wen Meng returned home, she discovered that all her clothes had been ruined.
No one even helped her move her things out.
From that day on, she knew that she had completely become invisible in this household.
She will forever live in the shadow of Wenxin.
At this moment, Wen Xin, dressed in a pure white strapless evening gown, stood in front of Wen Jiayi
Her willow-like eyebrows stood on end as she angrily shouted at Huo Xiao,
"Don't go too far with your words!"
"You're a general, so what? Is this how you treat your elders?"
Wen Xin spent the whole day meticulously dressing up, hoping to dazzle Huo Xiao at the engagement party tonight.
She was confident that after meeting her, Huo Xiao would definitely agree to the marriage.
But the truth was, from beginning to end, Huo Xiao never once looked her in the eye.
Moreover, upon learning that today's main character was Wen Xin and that Wen Meng would not be coming, his expression changed instantly.
Since Huo Xiao is heartless, she can't be blamed for defending her own interests.
It seemed unexpected that Wen Xin would rush out to protect him, and Wen Jiayi was actually a bit moved
After all, there's nothing like having your own daughter.
But she had rashly offended Huo Xiao, making the possibility of their future marriage even smaller.
Wen Jiayi naturally hoped that his biological daughter could marry into the Huo family
After all, this was their only hope of turning things around.
"Xinxin, don't be like this, I'm fine."
"Father, I won't marry him." Wen Xin frowned, "General Huo seems to have no understanding of what manners are."
Who said I wanted to marry you?
Even though Wen Xin was right in front of Huo Xiao, looking at him with a stubborn yet aggrieved expression.
I hope he can show mercy.
But Huo Xiao still didn't look at her; all his anger was directed at Wen Jiayi.
"Move aside."
"I won't dodge, you want to do something to my father—"
"Ah!!" Wen Xin fell out, landing on the ground.
It turned out that Huo Xiao had used the sheath of his long military knife to push her arm, moving her aside.
Blocking the view, an eyesore to behold.
"What, what do you want to do?" Wen Jiayi stuttered in fear.
He watched as Huo Xiao drew out that long knife
The cold light was piercing,
With a clang, he wet his pants.
"Dear in-laws... this..." Wen Jiayi sought help from the Huo family
But it was the elder brother and sister-in-law of the Huo family who came, completely ignoring Huo Xiao, just sitting quietly and watching the show.
Firstly, no one in the Huo family could control Huo Xiao, this troublemaking demon.
Secondly, the daughter sent by the Wen family for the engagement was indeed not the one they had previously agreed upon.
Emotionally and logically, it just doesn't make sense.
"Listen, what I've always wanted from beginning to end is Wen Meng."
"Otherwise, what makes you think you have the right to see me?"
Huo Xiao almost pressed the knife against Wen Jiayi's neck
But he only gave it a gentle, affectionate flick,
"I'll give you three days to bring her to me."
"Otherwise..."
His gaze was colder than the glint of the blade. "Making a family disappear from the Imperial Star doesn't seem like such a difficult task, does it?"
After hearing Huo Xiao's words, Huo family's eldest brother raised an eyebrow
The eldest sister-in-law of the Huo family crossed her arms, her face indifferent.
Their reactions could be taken as agreement with what he said. Indeed, it was very simple.
And Wen Jiayi was already trembling like a leaf.
Repeatedly responded.
"I will, I will definitely bring Wen Meng here and give her to you!!"
"Damn it, where's Wen Meng?!"
Returning to the Wen family, Wen Jiayi, who had been timid and fearful, suddenly changed his demeanor completely, as if he had been possessed by a different soul
Please provide the source text you would like translated
Seeing that no one responded to him, he directly flipped the table over.
This type of person is commonly known as a bully at home.
Only dares to lose his temper with those of lower status than him.
The members of the Wen family present all looked at each other in dismay.
Even if you blow up the house, they still wouldn't know.
And as soon as Wen Xin got home, she collapsed on the sofa and started sobbing.
Mrs. Wen's heart felt as if it were being twisted by a knife. She patted her shoulder, offering continuous comfort.
But it was of no use at all; Wen Xin cried even louder, feeling extremely wronged in her heart.
"Shut up! What are you crying for, a funeral?"
Wen Jiayi was already feeling irritated, and hearing the crying only made his anger flare up.
Hearing Father Wen's angry rebuke, Wen Xin's crying momentarily paused.
Then it turned into quiet sobbing.
Wen's mother's comfort finally had an effect. While she helped Wen Xin calm down, she also harbored quite a bit of resentment towards Wen Jiayi
"You tell me, why did you take your anger out on Wenxin?" Wen's mother said, her heart aching. "What did she do wrong?"
The engagement party just now, Wen's mother was also present, but in that kind of place, she had no say.
"I haven't seen Wen Meng for several days." The third young master Wen was dragged out of bed by the butler.
Feeling drowsy, he yawned, rubbed his eyes, and asked his brothers, "Have you ever seen it?"
"I haven't seen him." The eldest young master of the Wen family was rarely at home. Today, he had come back for a rare visit, hoping to get some rest, but unexpectedly encountered this situation.
It could be considered bad luck.
Second Young Master Wen lounged around, shaking his leg. "Who knows which planet he's off to for fun this time..."
"Brother, she's not like you, always wanting to play," retorted Third Young Master Wen.
"Go find him!!!" Wen Jiayi's heart grew increasingly uneasy; he had a very bad premonition
"You three, take all the guards with you, and search, planet by planet."
"Alive, we need to see the person; dead, we need to see the corpse!!"
Even if it was just bringing back a corpse, it would still be brought before Huo Xiao.
"What?!" The three sons of the Wen family were all utterly shocked.
They even talked about holding an emergency family meeting, but it turned out they just wanted them to find Wen Meng.
What's the point of looking for that impostor? If it's lost, it's lost.
"I'm still in school." The second young master of the Wen family was stunned. In a few months, he would be taking the college entrance exam.
"School!?" Wen Jiayi reacted to his words as if he had heard a fantastical tale.
He fumed with rage, "If you can't find that damned girl, you'll all be buried with her!!"
An indescribable atmosphere immediately enveloped the entire Wen family.
In the middle of the night, the search for Wen Meng swiftly commenced.
The eldest young master of the Wen family had the strongest execution ability. He took twenty subordinates and went to rent a starship
The fastest one.
Finding a person among so many planets in the star realm is like searching for a needle in a haystack.
However, since the head of the Wen family had spoken, what could the sons do to refuse?
The next morning.
Desolate star cave.
Wen Meng woke up and stretched lazily
Today is another day full of energy.
She turned her head and suddenly discovered something lying beside her
The clear mind was instantly bewildered.
Who are you???
