The novel is titled "The Return of the God of Slaughter." The protagonist, Yang, killed his mother, older brother, and grandparents, but his biological father miraculously survived every attempt on his life. As a result, the protagonist endured a life of abuse by his own father, until he grew up. Then, he became corrupted. The author, his biological father, bestowed upon him an extremely powerful cheat called the "golden finger." With this cheat, the God of Slaughter returned and slaughtered all those who had treated him badly.

Hua Jiayu: "......"

He swallowed the stagnant blood in his chest, then raised his head to look around.

I don't know.

I don't know the way home.

Hua Jiayu felt that he was probably lost. He silently shrank into a corner, pretending to be a quiet and beautiful mushroom, waiting for someone to come and pick him up.

Du Yang left and then returned, standing in front of Hua Jiayu to pat his head and whispered, "Thank you."

The mushroom picker finally arrived. Hua Jiayu sniffed and said, "Brother, I got lost. Can you give me a ride home?"

Du Yang: "......"

Not long after, Hua Jiayu stood in front of the dilapidated palace with lush green grass, and sniffled again.

He is a hapless little cabbage.

Du Yang glanced at him, and this time he really left.

The palace was in ruins, with nothing to eat. Hungry, Hua Jiayu felt his stomach stick to his back. Suddenly, he caught a whiff of the aroma of grilled fish and immediately sprang up from the bed, dashing out.

He followed behind a palace maid carrying a roasted fish and arrived at the exterior of a brightly yellow palace. The plaque on the gate read "Changsheng Palace," clearly indicating that it was where the emperor resided.

It was getting dark, and the guards were changing shifts. Hua Jiayu slipped inside and saw that there was no one inside the hall. He quickly grabbed the roasted fish on the table and hurriedly hid it in a corner.

He had only taken a few steps when his collar was lifted, and a stern and cold voice came from behind him: "Which child from which family has such audacity to dare to come and steal things from my bedroom?"

Hua Jiayu held the roasted fish tightly and whispered, "It's from your home."

Hua Yan: "......"

Turning the child over and looking down, Huayan could confirm that it was indeed from his family. With a cold tone, he asked, "Why didn't you go to your mother's place for a meal? Why did you come here instead?"

Hua Jiayu dragged out the ending of his words and said, "Hu~~~" as he carefully examined Hua Yan.

A typical handsome man, with phoenix-like eyes of great beauty. However, it's a pity that Huo Yan suffers from neuralgia, unlike ordinary people. Just like the original character, Hua Jiayu, he would cry at the slightest bump or scrape.

So, in the original text, it's safe to say that once Hua Yan found out that Hua Jiayu was just like him, he showed an unprecedented level of doting towards him.

Unfortunately, the original body was foolish.

Hua Yan remained silent for a moment, then took the grilled fish from Hua Jiayu and placed it on the table. He sat down and said, "Go ahead, eat."

Hua Jiayu happily sat at the table without saying a word and started eating eagerly.

Seeing his appearance, as if he hadn't eaten anything for days, Huayan became even more silent, starting to suspect that Huajiayu had been abused.

After taking a few bites, Hua Yan stopped using her chopsticks and instead, indulgently watched Hua Jiayu.

Growing up, he was fair-skinned and chubby, and his appearance was delightful. However, he was just too foolish and cowardly to be fit for being an emperor, otherwise, he would have certainly been favored.

Having eaten too much, Hua Jiayu felt bloated. He sat there, holding his belly, trying to aid digestion. Seeing this, Hua Yan spoke coldly, "Once you're full, let's go back."

"Alright then." Jumping off the stool, Hua Jiayu walked out without paying attention and accidentally bumped into someone. It should be a guard, wearing a suit of iron armor, causing Hua Jiayu to cry out in pain immediately.

It's not that he's delicate, but rather that there's something wrong with this body. With just a slight bump or knock, it feels like giving birth for a pregnant woman, causing excruciating pain.

He covered his mouth and sobbed as he lay face down on the ground, his body trembling. A pair of hands flipped him over, with an odd tone of voice: "You're crying so much just because you bumped into something? Does it hurt that badly?"

Hua Jiayu blinked his big teary eyes, tears flowing uncontrollably. The pain made his lips turn pale, rendering him unable to speak.

Hua Yan lifted him up and placed him on the bed, then said to the dumbfounded attendant, "Summon the imperial physician."

The guard regained his focus and respectfully replied, "Understood."

The physician came to diagnose and said there was nothing serious, just a red mark on the forehead from a collision.

Hua Yan followed Hua Jiayu's instructions to dismiss the royal physician, displaying an unusual silence.

Finally no more pain, Hua Jiayu glanced at Hua Yan, knowing for sure that this guy was aware of the similarities between them, and said, "Father, I'm no longer in pain. Can we leave now?"

Hua Yan raised his head and said, "Let's go." Then he suddenly stopped him and asked coldly, "The empress did not give you any food to eat?"

In the original text, the empress dowager indeed did not give Hua Jiayu any food. So Hua Jiayu nodded and said, "I'm only this fat because I'm hungry and have been drinking water."

Hua Yan became even more silent: "......"

After leaving Changsheng Palace, Hua Jiayu looked at the countless long roads illuminated by lights, feeling momentarily confused.

May I ask, which way is the road back home?

Returning to the palace, the palace guards and Hua Yan were engaged in conversation. Amidst their discussion, they mentioned Dou Yang. After some consideration, Hua Jiayu hid outside the door, eavesdropping.

The guard said, "Your Majesty, General Du has requested to send the troops to the border to fight against the barbarians."

"He's afraid that Dou Yang will kill him, isn't he?" Hua Yan sneered, and continued, "Tell him that I won't meddle in his family affairs. He can do whatever he wants."

The bodyguard took his leave and not long after, Hua Jiayu came in, walking with his short legs.

Hua Yan said, "Aren't you returning?"
