Chapter 354: You're Still Such a Spendthrift, Big Brother

"You really want a gift as well?" asked Xiang Shaoyun with a toying look in his eyes .

"Of course . How can I miss out on a gift from boss?" replied Xia Liuhui .

"Sure . Let's go outside . I'll give you your gift there," said Xiang Shaoyun .

"Boss, you know what, forget it . " Xia Liuhui immediately shrank as he thought that Xiang Shaoyun wanted to have a spar with him .

"No . I must give you this gift," said Xiang Shaoyun seriously .

"Spare me, boss . I'm not your match . I don't want it anymore," said Xia Liuhui sullenly .

Xiang Shaoyun ignored him and walked straight to the courtyard . After some hesitation, Xia Liuhui braced himself and walked out as well .

Xia Yingying watched on in confusion and asked Ye Chaomu, "Big Sister Mu, is Big Brother Xiang going to beat up my brother?"

"Hehe, don't worry . They are good brothers, so they won't do anything reckless . Ignore them . Continue eating," said Ye Chaomu .

Outside, Xiang Shaoyun looked at Xia Liuhui and said, "Accept your gift . "

Xia Liuhui quickly hugged his own head in fear, as if he was bracing himself for a beating . The expected beating did not come, so he raised his head to see that a large pile of items had appeared before him .

A large portion of them were harvests from demonic beasts . There were also a lot of herbs and other treasures such as gold and silver . The entire courtyard was filled with treasure .

"All these are yours," said Xiang Shaoyun before entering the house again .

Xia Liuhui was completely dumbfounded . He had always known Xiang Shaoyun was a generous person, but this generosity had surpassed his imagination . He did not even know what to do with such wealth . He wanted these treasures greatly, but even he was embarrassed to accept them all .

He quickly ran into the house and shouted, "Boss, this is too big of a prank . You should take them back . "

"I'm not playing a prank . All these are obtained from the Mad Lion Hunting Group . They had injured your father and killed so many of your villagers . It is only natural that they repay you for all they have done," said Xiang Shaoyun nonchalantly .

"But it's too big of a compensation," said Xia Liuhui .

"Too big? Show me, I'll take a look," said Ye Chaomu .

"Outside," said Xia Liuhui as he pointed at the courtyard .

Ye Chaomu and Xia Yingying stretched their heads out curiously .

Ye Chaomu immediately covered her mouth and said, "You are still such a spendthrift, big brother . "

"What? What can I do with these things? They are useless for me . Might as well let the villagers have them . They will be much more useful for them than for me," said Xiang Shaoyun with a shrug .

To the side, Xia Yingying was completely stunned . This was the first time in her life she had seen so many treasures before her . In her eyes, these treasures could be exchanged for countless gold coins, enough for the villagers to live a good life for a long, long time .

"Yes, the villagers should receive some compensation . Big Brother Xia Liu, just accept them," said Ye Chaomu .

This was what she liked about Xiang Shaoyun since their childhood . His generosity and his carefree character was so very fascinating and handsome in her eyes .

"But there are so many of them . . . " Xia Liuhui was too embarrassed to accept everything .

"I told you, they are for the villagers, not you alone," said Xiang Shaoyun with an impatient tone .

"Fine, since the boss doesn't mind, I will deal with these treasures for you," said Xia Liuhui when he saw Xiang Shaoyun's firmness .

Xia Liuhui was in no rush to gather the villagers . So many of them had died, and the villagers needed some time to deal with the funerals before they could do something else . Soon, night arrived . Xia Liuhui and Xia Yingying were beside Xia Datang, waiting for him to wake up . Xiang Shaoyun finally got some time alone with Ye Chaomu .

Under the mild moonlight and amid the gentle breeze, Ye Chaomu stood with both her arms behind her back . She puffed her lofty chest up and said, "Big brother, can you come with me to the Wuxie Valley next?"

When her eyes blinked, they were akin to a pair of twinkling stars, brilliant and enchanting .

Xiang Shaoyun shook his head and sighed, "No, that is your path, not mine . "

"I don't care, and I don't know about all that . The only thing I know is nobody will dare harm you at Wuxie Valley," said Ye Chaomu with a pout .

"Yes . In the past, nobody dared to harm me at Ziling Sect as well . But what happened in the end?" Xiang Shaoyun said with a sigh .

"What? Are you saying I will one day harm you?" Ye Chaomu immediately shouted furiously .

Xiang Shaoyun looked at Ye Chaomu tenderly and said, "Little Mu Mu, don't think too much . Both you and Father are the two people that won't harm me even if the alternative is death . "

"Why did you say that, then?" asked Ye Chaomu .

"What I mean is, without an enemy, I won't have the sense of pressure that makes me grow . It will not be beneficial," said Xiang Shaoyun .  

"In the past, I was able to command countless people relying on my status . But now, I have lost everything Father had, and I no longer enjoy the same status and prestige . Those traitors all want to kill me because I am now without a backer and will be easy pickings . But that is not the case at all .

"In the past, I didn't cultivate, and I spent my time doing nothing . I can no longer do the same . I must take back what I lost with my own two hands . I will personally punish those traitors . I won't spare them . You can also see that I am almost in the Skysoar Realm . This is the result of only two years of cultivation . How have I grown so fast? Apart from my genius, it's all thanks to the pressure I was feeling from those traitors .

"That pressure was how I can train relentlessly and grow as best as possible so I can one day reclaim what is mine . If I go to Wuxie Valley with you, I will lose that pressure, and it wouldn't be beneficial at all . "

Ye Chaomu listened silently, pain in her eyes . When Xiang Shaoyun finished, she said, "Big brother, the past two years must have been filled with hardship . You have never suffered any hardships in the sect before this . "

Xiang Shaoyun rubbed Ye Chaomu's nose and replied, "Stupid girl, in the past, your big brother was too busy indulging in the pleasures of life . That was why all that had happened . It's not a big deal to suffer some hardships now . After we are done here, you can leave with the Thirteen Eagles and old drunkard . Return to Wuxie Valley . I will be needing your help in the future when the time comes to reclaim what is mine . That old bastard Di Batian is only slightly weaker than Father . I will need you to deal with him . " 

"Of course . I can deal with that old bastard . But I want to train with you, big brother . I don't want to go back to Wuxie Valley," said Ye Chaomu .

"No, you can't stay with me," Xiang Shaoyun rejected .

"Why? I am stronger than you, so I won't be a burden," said Ye Chaomu .

"That's why you can't stay with me . You need to become an Empress as soon as possible—become a Sovereign as soon as possible . You can't slow down because of me," said Xiang Shaoyun seriously .
