Chapter 3

**Bang!!**

A dull thud, and the clothes hit their target right on!

The clothes weren't very heavy, so after being hit, Bu Ye's figure only swayed slightly. However, he finally stopped and turned around, looking at Yang Yuanda with a cold, indifferent gaze.

Yang Yuanda was completely taken aback by Bu Ye's cold stare, but since Bu Ye's behavior today had already been out of the ordinary, he didn't think too much about it. He approached Bu Ye in large strides and loudly asked, "Didn't you hear me calling you just now?"

"I heard you," Bu Ye replied indifferently.

Hearing this answer, all the village defense team members were shocked, and Yang Yuanda became even angrier.

"You heard me, yet you still walked away?!" Yang Yuanda was now right in front of Bu Ye, staring directly into his eyes with a condescending tone. He was a large, muscular man with a full beard, and his intimidating gaze made him look like a lion or tiger staring down at a sheep.

Bu Ye remained calm and said, "Just because you called me, I have to stop? I'm off duty for the next day and night, and even Captain Hong has no authority to command me."

Yang Yuanda was taken aback, completely unexpected that Bu Ye would argue like a pedantic scholar. The Bu Ye he knew wasn't like this.

However, Bu Ye had his reasons, and so did Yang Yuanda. Yang Yuanda sneered, revealing his yellowed teeth, and said, "The three of us, the team captains, bear most of the village's defense responsibilities and have no time to maintain our leather armor. We ask you ordinary guards to help with these trivial tasks, and you shouldn't refuse. Since you have nothing to do for the next day, I asked you to take my leather armor back to repair and maintain it. It won't take much of your time, so why not?"

This was actually an unwritten rule in the village defense team, so Yang Yuanda had a point.

Bu Ye didn't say anything but squatted down and picked up all the clothes scattered on the ground. As he straightened up, his right hand, hidden by the clothes, paused slightly as it slid over his waist.

At this moment, everyone was watching Bu Ye, but no one, including Yang Yuanda nearby and Hong Zhongwei and Liang Xiong in the distance, noticed Bu Ye's pause. Only the nearly fifty-year-old lame man in the village defense team raised his eyebrows slightly.

Everyone thought Bu Ye was picking up the clothes to show submission, but then Bu Ye held the pile of clothes in front of Yang Yuanda and asked calmly, "Are all these leather armors?"

Yang Yuanda's face turned grim, and he stared intently at Bu Ye's face, not even glancing at the clothes. He knew very well that only two of them were the village defense team's leather armors, and the rest were his everyday clothes!

Although Yang Yuanda was a deputy team captain, he had no corresponding morals. He was arrogant and greedy in his daily life, and the ordinary villagers of Dongmang Village were both surprised and afraid of him, wishing to avoid him. Within the village defense team, Yang Yuanda was the least disciplined, often using his authority to make the guards do his personal tasks, making him a universally disliked person, but no one dared to provoke him due to his Heart Cloud Blood Star power.

He had a wife to do the housework, but he had long made it a habit to use the pretext of maintaining leather armor to have the guards wash his everyday clothes, and no one dared to say anything. However, this time, he encountered Bu Ye, who didn't give him any face at all. Bu Ye was clearly using the ordinary clothes to mock him!

With no more arguments, Yang Yuanda activated his Heart Cloud Blood Star. A faint light flashed, and both the Heart Cloud and the Seven Stars lit up, creating a magical constellation within his body, with a pale green nebula at his heart! As the Heart Cloud Blood Star was fully activated, his body and aura expanded, making him look even more imposing, like a wild beast gone mad! His pressure increased several times!

His eyes flashed with a violent light, and if Bu Ye didn't submit, he would definitely take action to discipline him!

"Team Captain Yang!" Hong Zhongwei called out, warning Yang Yuanda not to act rashly.

However, hoping to resolve the matter peacefully, Hong Zhongwei still wished Bu Ye would submit. After all, it was just a matter of washing a few more clothes, and Bu Ye had done it before. But Hong Zhongwei didn't know that Bu Ye's soul had changed.

No one knew what Bu Ye was thinking at this moment. In his most desperate times before the穿越, he could only lie in bed, thinking, even treating Buddha, God, and the heavens as his "buddies." How could he be afraid of Yang Yuanda? He had struggled between materialism and idealism countless times, and his values were already in chaos. After crossing over with cancer, he believed this life was just a joke played by the heavens. So, even if he wasn't crazy, he certainly wouldn't act according to common sense!

At this moment, he wasn't afraid, and he didn't think of submitting. Instead, he was secretly excited in front of the powerful Yang Yuanda! The Heart Cloud Blood Star, he finally encountered something he found interesting.

Actually, I have it too, but it won't awaken for two more days!

Looking at Yang Yuanda, who had grown larger and seemed to have a constellation inside his body, Bu Ye instinctively felt the trembling of a herbivore in front of a carnivore. So, the "aura" described in novels really exists! Is it all because of the Heart Cloud and Blood Star? Does that mean if I also awaken the Heart Cloud and activate the Blood Star, I can do the same?

Then, the herbivore Bu Ye faced the carnivore Yang Yuanda, raised a piece of Yang Yuanda's ordinary outer robe with his right hand, and handed it to Yang Yuanda, finally showing some anger, and said coldly, "This kind of clothes, let your wife wash it!"

Bu Ye was clearly angry, so when he handed the clothes, it was almost like pushing. The outer robe directly hit Yang Yuanda's chest slightly above.

Yang Yuanda could have easily dodged, but he was looking for a legitimate reason to discipline Bu Ye, so he decided to let Bu Ye push him. After activating the Heart Cloud Blood Star, he was as strong as a bear, and Bu Ye couldn't possibly push him. He could use this as an excuse to discipline Bu Ye! With just one slap, he could make Bu Ye bedridden for three months!

*Puff!*

The clothes hit Yang Yuanda!

Everyone was shocked; Bu Ye was practically asking for death!

With Yang Yuanda's bad temper, he was bound to explode! A small ordinary guard couldn't last a second in front of a Heart Cloud Seven Star like him!

But after the impact, Yang Yuanda didn't move!

Then, everyone heard Bu Ye's cold voice, "You'd better not move a finger, or I'll stab you."

*Hiss...*

Many people drew in a breath of cold air. They finally saw a dagger extending from under Bu Ye's right hand, its tip pressing against Yang Yuanda's neck!

What's going on?!

Everyone looked at Bu Ye's waist, where every guard would tie a dagger. Now, Bu Ye's waist only had an empty leather sheath! When did Bu Ye pull out the dagger? Finally, someone remembered the pause when Bu Ye picked up the clothes!

He had already made this plan at that moment?!

Only the old lame man was not surprised. He was the oldest and most experienced in the village defense team, and he was calmly watching the scene.

"Bu Ye, you're asking for death!!" Yang Yuanda roared, the cold tip of the dagger clearly pressing against his skin, spittle flying onto Bu Ye's face.

Bu Ye responded by pushing the dagger forward with his right hand, the tip already creating a small indentation in Yang Yuanda's skin, ready to pierce through at any moment.

"Ah!" Yang Yuanda screamed, thinking Bu Ye would really stab him. When he realized Bu Ye had stopped, he dared not act tough and quickly said, "Aye, let's talk it out, don't get angry! I'll take the clothes back and wash them myself, okay? I won't make you wash clothes again."

Actually, with his skills, he still had a good chance of escaping unharmed if he acted suddenly, but now the dagger had already pierced his flesh and pressed against his trachea. Any mistake could cost him his life, so Yang Yuanda didn't dare to take any risks.

Bu Ye sneered, "You, with a bit of skill and power, think you can take all the advantages in the world. Have you ever thought, do others owe you?"

"Yes, yes, they don't owe me!" Yang Yuanda stammered, the dagger pressing into his flesh, not daring to say a word.

"From today on, you'll repair your own leather armor and won't bring any clothes for us to wash."

"Okay, okay!"

"Swear in front of everyone that you won't cause me any trouble for any reason, and I'll let you go." Bu Ye said calmly.

The people of Dongmang Village were simple and valued their word. If Yang Yuanda swore in public, as long as he had any sense of shame, he wouldn't openly cause trouble for Bu Ye in the future. And in two days, Bu Ye would leave, so Yang Yuanda wouldn't be able to find him to seek revenge. This was Bu Ye's plan.

"Okay, okay, I'll swear." Yang Yuanda said without hesitation.

Yang Yuanda thought Bu Ye was completely out of his mind today, not only showing no face but also becoming cold and ruthless. He had never been so close to death in his life, only thinking about getting Bu Ye to remove the dagger from his neck.

"I, Yang Yuanda, swear to the mountain god..."

As Yang Yuanda swore, he finally felt the dagger's tip pressing less hard, and his heart eased slightly. At this moment, his thoughts became active again. Today, Bu Ye had made him lose face, and he couldn't let it go! He had to take revenge!

If he waited for the heat to die down and used other tricks to get back at Bu Ye, he would have to bear the humiliation of today for a long time! So, he didn't want to wait!

Since Bu Ye could be out of his mind, he could be too!

After he finished swearing, Bu Ye would remove the dagger, and he would go crazy too!

With just one slap, he could cripple or even kill Bu Ye!

That's what he would do! Although many people would speak ill of him from then on, at most they would say he was brutal and overreacted, not that he, a Heart Cloud Seven Star, was shamefully held at dagger point by Bu Ye!

Finally, Yang Yuanda finished his oath.

Bu Ye listened carefully and was about to let go. Just as Yang Yuanda finished speaking, Bu Ye suddenly felt a cold sensation surge from various parts of his body, not cold from the temperature but a mental coldness in the face of a strong death threat. For the first time, he felt the cancer cells in his body warning him of danger and evil!

The warning was clear, targeting Yang Yuanda directly!

Such a miraculous thing, Bu Ye couldn't possibly figure out what was happening in a short time. But now he didn't need to; he just needed to know that Yang Yuanda didn't intend to keep his oath!

When everyone thought the matter would end here, and Bu Ye would face Yang Yuanda's revenge in the near future, and when Yang Yuanda was filled with evil thoughts, wanting to cripple Bu Ye immediately, Bu Ye completely surprised everyone. He smiled, and with a sudden force, he thrust the dagger forward!

The dagger was sharp and easily pierced through Yang Yuanda's skin, continuing to penetrate. Bu Ye could even feel the different resistance as the blade cut through Yang Yuanda's blood vessels and trachea.

Then, he pulled it out!

*Hiss!!*

Blood spurted out of Yang Yuanda's body like a high-pressure water gun!

Bu Ye quickly retreated, avoiding the spurt of blood, and watched Yang Yuanda, who was clutching his neck, eyes wide with shock and fear, unable to scream. There was no trace of panic in Bu Ye's eyes, and his cold smile remained. At this moment, Bu Ye looked extremely evil, making everyone feel a chill.

No one knew that as Bu Ye watched Yang Yuanda, he thought of the people like Yang Yuanda he had seen and heard about on Earth before the穿越.

He had seen and heard of too many petty officials, with low abilities and no significant contributions, but skilled at using their positions for personal gain and giving arbitrary orders; they would be pleased with a small advantage, thinking they were clever, and ordering others around.

Because of them, countless "little soldiers" had to do things they shouldn't, serving tea and cleaning; they had to work overtime without pay after work hours because their leaders were "selflessly working overtime"; they had to deal with work at home because their superiors had given them a task to write, and the leaders had said in a friendly tone, "Make sure to finish it when you get home," as if they didn't know that "getting home" meant the workday was over and it was others' free time...

The most ridiculous thing was that they never showed gratitude. They saw those who did extra work as fools, lower-class people, and thought it was their duty to do so! They never thought that others didn't owe them anything, yet they kept taking advantages and demanding!

Bu Ye couldn't help but think, fortunately, he had become a full-time online writer early on; otherwise, he would have been diagnosed with cancer in just six years.

During the days of cancer pain, he had even self-harmed to alleviate the pain. He could certainly be more cruel to others. Taking small advantages certainly didn't warrant death, but he wasn't a judge; he was a person with chaotic values and a dominant evil nature, and he had zero tolerance for petty leaders like Yang Yuanda.

Then, he saw the team captain, Hong Zhongwei, rushing to save Yang Yuanda, and the other deputy team captain, Liang Xiong, charging at him with a roar!

"Bu Ye!!"
