Both My Parents Are Supremes—Why Should I Fear a Child of Destiny? - Chapter 3:

Chapter 3: Child of Destiny: Master, Save Me!

Trinity Saint Sect, Azure Sun Peak.

Chu Yiyi held her face as she cried all the way back to her sect. Her eyes were filled with hatred, and she kept replaying the moment Su Ming slapped her.

“Su Ming, you shameless scum! I’ll never forgive you!”

“What happened, Yiyi? Who made you so upset?” A figure suddenly appeared behind Chu Yiyi and pulled her into his arms.

Feeling the familiar presence behind her, Chu Yiyi could no longer hold back her grievances and burst into tears. “Senior Brother Chu Fan, Su Ming is so vicious! I asked him for the Three Saints Golden Lotus because I needed it for my cultivation. He not only refused, but even slapped me and called me a cheap woman, telling me to get lost…”

As she cried, Chu Fan’s expression grew cold. He had told Chu Yiyi that the Three Saints Golden Lotus would help her cultivation just to get her to obtain it from Su Ming. Like all the other treasures Su Ming had given her, the lotus would eventually end up in his hands.

Now not only had he failed to get it, but Chu Yiyi had been slapped—how could he tolerate that? Chu Yiyi was his woman—what right did Su Ming have to hit her?

Rage flared across Chu Fan’s face. “Su Ming dared to do such a thing?! Don’t be afraid, Yiyi. I’ll go confront him and get that Three Saints Golden Lotus back!”

“But Senior Brother Chu Fan, you’re still injured…”

“My master already gave me a divine pill. I’ve not only recovered, but my strength has improved. That Su Ming is nothing to me.”

Now at the 8th stage Extraordinary Realm, Chu Fan felt full of confidence. After years of lying low in the Trinity Saint Sect, it was finally his time to shine.

He had originally planned to use the sect competition in three days as his grand entrance, but now he saw a better opportunity. As the son of Heavenly Dao Realm powerhouses, Su Ming was the perfect stepping stone.

“Really?!” Chu Yiyi’s eyes lit up, her tears instantly vanishing. “Good thing I chose Senior Brother Chu instead of that stingy Su Ming!” She felt secretly relieved, completely forgetting all the rare pills Su Ming had once given her.

“I’m not Su Ming. I won’t lie to you. Come, take me to him.”

Guided by Chu Yiyi, the two soon arrived at Chenyang Peak where Su Ming lived. Sensing their arrival, Su Ming slowly opened his eyes from cultivation.

“8th stage Extraordinary Realm? As expected of the Child of Destiny. Even without the Three Saints Golden Lotus, he found another opportunity. Is he furious for his woman, or is it just for the lotus in my hand? Or maybe… he’s trying to use me as a stepping stone to rise?”

In the original novel, the Devouring Demon Lord was the stepping stone Chu Fan used most often.

[As the fated villain, Host, please initiate your first humiliation of the Child of Destiny, Chu Fan.]

[Inflicting significant psychological damage on Chu Fan will grant a special mystery reward.]

“Just what I wanted.” Seeing the system’s task, Su Ming chuckled and walked out.

As soon as Su Ming appeared, Chu Fan pointed at him and shouted, “Su Ming! Junior Sister Chu needed the Three Saints Golden Lotus for her cultivation. Even if you didn’t want to give it, how could you injure her?! You clearly care nothing for our sect brotherhood!”

“She’s at a critical point in her cultivation. A mere item won’t matter in the long run. Why not just give it up?”

Looking at Chu Fan’s righteous posture, Su Ming couldn’t help but laugh. “Just because she needs it, and I happen to have it, I must hand it over? How absurd. As for the slap, it was simply to teach her a lesson.”

Chu Fan was secretly delighted. A statement like that gave him the perfect moral ground. No matter what he did next, he could claim it was to uphold the honor of their fellow disciples.

“Su Ming! We’re fellow disciples, and yet you say such things?” Chu Fan took a step forward. “Today I’ll fight you for Junior Sister’s sake! If you lose, hand over the Three Saints Golden Lotus!”

He didn’t speak loudly, but his confidence was clear.

Su Ming saw right through him. Chu Fan was deliberately baiting him so he could frame everything as justified. As Chu Fan lunged forward, Su Ming sneered and stopped suppressing his cultivation.

“Peak Extraordinary Realm?!” Chu Fan’s eyes widened as Su Ming’s fist enlarged before him.

Their fists collided, and Chu Fan’s face twisted in agony. Before he could even scream, Su Ming had already sent him flying, crashing to the ground, twitching in pain. The arm he used to block had completely exploded.

“Senior Brother!” Chu Yiyi cried out and rushed to check on him, horrified by the mangled arm.

“Su Ming! It was just a spar, and you used such brutal force? Don’t you care about our brotherhood?!”

Looking at Chu Fan writhing on the ground, Su Ming narrowed his eyes. “I never agreed to any sparring match. He attacked me first. I merely defended myself.”

“As for you, Chu Yiyi, you coveted my Three Saints Golden Lotus. According to sect rules, I could’ve killed you, but I merely gave you a slap to teach you a lesson. You didn’t appreciate it and even brought Chu Fan here to assault me.”

“Considering my special status in the Trinity Saint Sect, killing both of you wouldn’t even be a problem, would it?”

Hearing this, Chu Fan and Chu Yiyi froze in terror. With Su Ming’s unique position in the sect, he really wouldn’t face consequences. If Chu Fan had won, the sect might’ve tried to cover it up for him. But he lost—like a wild dog crushed by a passing footstep.

In such a situation, how could the sect say a word?

Step. Step. Step.

Su Ming walked down the stone steps, each footfall sounding like a death knell to the pair.

“Y-You… don’t come any closer!”

[Host has inflicted deep psychological trauma on Child of Destiny Chu Fan and his key associates. Gained 400 Destiny Points.]

[Host has completed the challenge. Mystery reward has been issued to the system space. Please check it promptly.]

Su Ming paused. Compared to the two powerless insects before him, he was more curious about what reward the system had given him.

Opening the system space, he read the description of the item.

[Chaos Spirit Crystal: When carried, it passively emits Chaos Qi.]

Su Ming’s breath quickened. Chaos Qi had been mentioned in the original novel as a rare substance that could enhance the Supreme Chaos Body—but no one ever obtained it before the novel was axed. And now, the system had given it to him directly.

Exiting the system space, Su Ming suppressed his smile and looked down at Chu Fan and Chu Yiyi.

“Now tell me… how should I deal with the two of you?”

“Should I kill you? Or destroy your Qi Seas? Truly a difficult decision.”

Chu Fan and Chu Yiyi began to tremble uncontrollably. The former meant death; the latter meant a fate worse than death—never being able to cultivate again.

[Host has successfully intimidated Child of Destiny Chu Fan. Gained 60 Destiny Points.]

Seeing he was still gaining unexpected rewards, Su Ming decided to keep going. Destiny Points, after all, were never too many—even if he didn’t know their full use yet.

Then he heard Chu Fan suddenly cry out, “Master! Save me!!”
