Chapter 351: It Is Not a Sin for a Man to Cry

In Xiang Shaoyun's eyes, these bandits were merely a disorganized mob . It had only been a short while, yet he had already killed a large bunch of them . The villagers had also killed some of the bandits, and the Intermediate Demons that served as the bandits' mounts were all hunted down like animals .

As for the two bandit leaders, they were both defeated by Xia Liuhui . Although the two leaders were Transformation Realm cultivators, their combat prowess was still no match for him . The only thing he lacked was combat experience . That was why he had taken a bit longer than he needed to defeat them . One of the leaders had his head chopped off while the other, the one who had reached out for Xia Yingying, had both his legs cut off .

"Ahhhh!"

He fainted from the agony, but Xia Liuhui stabbed him twice and woke him up through pain .

"You want to just die? It won't be that easy . You better pray my father is fine . Otherwise, you will suffer a fate worse than death," said Xia Liuhui, radiating a baleful bloodlust .

Xia Liuhui had been a rather timid person, but after his experiences at the Martial Hall Palace and Cloud Margin Pavilion, he had slowly shed off his childish innocence, becoming a staunch and resolute young man . He dragged the bandit leader toward Xia Datang with the villagers cheering around him .

"Well done, little boy Xia Liu . [1] Just from this performance alone, I will forget about that incident where you peeped on your aunt when she was showering," shouted one of the friendly villagers .

Xia Liuhui staggered and nearly fell down .

"Eighth uncle, I did not do that!" Xia Liuhui grumbled sullenly .

"Man up! There is nothing embarrassing about owning up to what you have done! Alright, I'll be engaging my daughter Xia Huayun to you after this . She is as pretty as her mother . You will definitely like her!" eighth uncle replied .

"Old eighth, what are you talking about? My family's Xia Cui is what you would call a beauty . With her big bum, she is a perfect wife to make many babies with!" said someone else .

"My family's Little Mei is not bad either . Little boy Xia Liu, you should come take a look at her later!"

. . .

The villagers seemed to have completely forgotten about what their hamlet had just experienced and started introducing their daughters to Xia Liuhui instead . These villagers might be simple people, but they also liked capable people . A promising young man like Xia Liuhui had naturally became a hot commodity .

"Alright everyone, step aside and let little boy Xia Liu drag that bandit leader here," said Old Father as he walked out with a crutch .

The villagers stepped aside and stopped obstructing Xia Liuhui's path . Only now did Xia Yingying get a clear look at Xia Liuhui . Tears welled in her eyes as she asked, "Big brother, is that you?"

"Little sister," said Xia Liuhui, his eyes brimming with tears as well . He tossed the bandit leader to the side and ran to her .

"Big brother, you're finally back! Quick, take a look at Father!" said Xia Yingying .

"Father!" Xia Liuhui cried out bitterly when he saw Xia Datang in his frail state .

It was not a sin for a man to cry . Xia Liuhui grew up without a mother, and Xia Datang was the one who had raised him and his sister all by himself . Thus, they had always been extremely close with each other .

Xia Datang had always been strict with Xia Liuhui and had even sent him to the Martial Hall Palace, but Xia Liuhui had no complaints about that . When he saw how badly injured Xia Datang was, he felt like someone was slicing his heart with a blade .

To the side, Xiang Shaoyun said, "Send uncle back home to rest . He will be fine . "

"Yes, send Father back first," said Xia Liuhui while wiping his tears . He turned around, faced the villagers, and said, "Everyone, drag this scum out and feed him to the wolves . Do not soil the grounds of our hamlet with his blood . "

"P-please spare me!" begged the bandit leader .

Unfortunately for him, even if Xia Liuhui was willing to spare him, the villagers would not . After all, the bandits had slaughtered a lot of the villagers . They would never spare these bandits after that . Xia Liuhui then lifted Xia Datang and rushed back home . Both Xiang Shaoyun and Xia Yingying followed closely behind .  

As for the other villagers, they started cleaning up the mess under Old Father's lead, and that was when howls of grief started ringing in the air . The experience of having their close ones slaughtered while they were completely helpless caused them to have a deep hatred of the bandits . They rounded up the bandits' corpses and fed them all to beasts .  

After returning to his home, Xia Liuhui placed Xia Datang down, and he only felt better when he saw that Xia Datang was in a stable condition . If something bad had happened to his father, he would have gone mad then and there .

"Alright there . Let your father rest for two or three days . He will be well again," said Xiang Shaoyun .

Xia Liuhui nodded and left the room with Xiang Shaoyun . "Boss, sorry for bringing you this trouble immediately after coming here . "

"Nobody wants something like this to happen . Don't think too much about it . Go calm your sister," said Xiang Shaoyun with a wave of his hand .

Xia Liuhui finally looked at Xia Yingying and said, "Yingying, you have suffered . "

"Big brother!" Xia Yingying could not stop crying as she jumped into Xia Liuhui's arms and started weeping .

Xiang Shaoyun gave the two a glance before silently excusing himself . He was clear that they probably had a lot of things they wanted to tell each other .

Good thing we arrived in time . Otherwise, Liuhui would have lost his family . Looks like I need to do something for him, thought Xiang Shaoyun .

He had heard from the bandits that they were members of the Mad Lion Hunting Group . He was once attacked by these people at the Hundred Beast Mountain Range .  Seemed like it was time to settle the grudge .

"Jin Wo, come," said Xiang Shaoyun in the courtyard .

Jin Wo appeared from a corner and said, "Your highness, what command do you have for me?"

"Take me to the Hundred Beast Mountain Range," said Xiang Shaoyun .

"Yes," Jin Wo answered without asking . He transformed back into his crocodile form and left with Xiang Shaoyun .

Xiang Shaoyun first went to Ye Chaomu's group and said, "I’m going to go eliminate a hunting group . Little Mu Mu, just wait here for me . "

"I'm going with you . I can’t let something bad happen to you . In any case, this place is boring as hell," complained Ye Chaomu .

"No, there are no experts among that hunting group . It is a waste of your talents to go there . Why don't you go to Xia Hamlet instead . You can spend some time with Xia Liuhui's little sister . I'll be back soon," said Xiang Shaoyun before leaving .

Ye Chaomu hesitated for a bit before deciding not to follow . She did as told and headed toward Xia Hamlet .

1 . Reminder that Xia Liu also sounds the same as obscene, and this is a play on his name, Xia Liuhui .
