Villain stepping stone, stepping over the protagonists!

Chapter 13: Lu Ming has thoughts on Yang Mengyao & +120,000 Jade Coins

[A person with a great fate and mighty background is approaching you. You share the same string of fate with this person. Task Tier: S+ ]

[You have two choices!]

[1. Confront your mother about why she wasn't there for you all this time. Make amends to your relationship, save her from her self-blame and regrets, and gain her affection. Reward: +120,000 Jade Coins]

[2. Confront your mother and blame her for everything that went wrong in your life and tell her that she deserves to die for your father going missing. Break all ties with her and slowly torture her to death! Reward: +70,000 Jade Coins & Demon Spike Halberd & 50 Heavenly Pine Fruit Seeds]

It took a minute to process the newly issued task. Lu Ming couldn't believe what he was seeing. Not only was an S+ tier task issued for the first time, but it was also from his own mother?!

And the reward for the first choice was a whole 120,000 Jade Coins?!

Who the hell is his own mother?! Wasn't she just a mortal woman, his dad, picked up from the wilderness?

Ever since Lu Ming came to this world, he never really cared about this dull and depressed woman. He only ever cared about how to get more tasks and Jade Coins.

And when he heard about how his mother stayed in her small house in the corner of the Lu estate and only went out to pray every so often for his missing father, he lost all interest.

Even in his memories, she was totally absent.

But now the situation is completely different!

Lu Ming quickly said in his mind, 'System, what is my mother's real identity?!'

He wasn't stupid. His mother definitely had another identity. Otherwise, the system wouldn't dish out such a high reward.

Perhaps she was the princess of a fallen dynasty or a cultivator from a hidden sect?!

Haha! Indeed! I'm the great protagonist of this world. How can my mother be an ordinary woman?

[The system can only detect little from the sea of fate. But it can be inferred that your mother is a being with a great identity from the upper realm!]

[Please choose an option, host]

*Gasp*

Thunderstrike erupted in his ears in an instant!

The upper realm! He has heard bits of stories about the mystical world of the upper realm from his grandmother. It's the place where cultivators beyond the Profound Saint realm exist!

That's an unthinkable level of power for him!

Lu Ming said to himself in a firm tone, 'I have to choose option one! Are you kidding me? This is 120,000 Jade Coins. How many Dragon Mist Pills can I buy with this amount?! Haha, I'm fucking rich, bitch!'

Although the second option rewards are more abundant in number, Lu Ming still doesn't want to choose it.

He's the protagonist. He also has some ethics and morals. How can he be so ruthless to a woman, let alone his own body's mother? Even if he doesn't hold much love for her, she is still the one who gave birth to the owner of this body.

But another part of him had a selfish wish hidden deep. He wanted the power behind his mother. A great background, huh? So, shouldn't he be the young master of that power as well?

Lu Ming was slightly dissatisfied with the Lu family's frugal state. The people of the capital don't respect them too much.

Right now, he was cooking many things in his mind. But suddenly, he heard sounds of quarreling outside.
