Chapter 383: I'll Stay

Dong Ziwan was extremely conflicted . Previously, she had not wanted Xiang Shaoyun to come because she did not wish to put him in danger . But he had come and had even saved her clan . Seeing that he was in no danger staying, she was now hopeful that he could stay longer .

However, she did not know what to do . She was worried that she would put him in a difficult position if she invited him to stay . After all, he had already made his intention to leave clear .  

All the Dong Clan members were looking at Dong Ziwan expectantly .

After looking at her clan members, she hesitated for a bit more before she looked at Xiang Shaoyun and asked seriously, "Can you stay?"

Xiang Shaoyun smiled . "This is your place . If you want me to stay, I'll stay . And if you do not want me as your guest, I will naturally leave . "

"Stay, then," said Dong Ziwan with her eyes wide .

"Sure, I'll stay," Xiang Shaoyun agreed without any hesitation .

Dong Zhuoyue heaved a sigh of relief . If he had offended Xiang Shaoyun enough to make him leave, he would have a hard time keeping his position as the clan leader .

Looks like this kid has some feelings for Little Wan, thought Dong Zhuoyue inwardly .

He was not alone as many in the Dong Clan had reached the same conclusion . They also thought that both Xiang Shaoyun and Dong Ziwan were akin to a match made in heaven .

"Great . Saviors, please come in and take a seat . Men, clean up the battlefield," said Dong Qinggu .

They were all relieved to receive the assistance of two powerful late-stage Dragon Ascension Realm experts . Xiang Shaoyun did not hesitate and went into the Dong Clan estate with Devouring Ghost, Du Xuanhao, and Jin Wo .

The clan estate was akin to a city within a city . It occupied an expansive area; a large number of ancient buildings stood tall everywhere . Only those from the clan's direct line of descent were allowed to reside here . As for the clan's branch families, they all lived at different locations within the city . In fact, more than half the residents of the city shared the surname Dong .

After entering the estate, Dong Qinggu and Dong Zhongyuan had Dong Zhuoyue arrange a feast to welcome Xiang Shaoyun's group . Although the clan was overall still enveloped in sorrow because of the casualties they had suffered, they still couldn't slight such important guests .

During the feast, most of the Dong Clan members appeared lost in thought, their faces still covered with worry . Because of the sombre mood, Xiang Shaoyun couldn't really bring himself to enjoy the food . He quickly found a random excuse to end the feast .

"Everyone, go handle your affairs first . I will be staying for a bit anyway," said Xiang Shaoyun forthrightly .

When Dong Qinggu, Dong Zhongyuan, and Dong Zhuoyue heard that, they were finally able to leave and go handle the clan affairs without worrying they would offend him . After they left, Dong Ziwan apologized, "Sorry, Xiang Shaoyun . "

"There is no need to apologize . We are friends," said Xiang Shaoyun with a smile . "Prepare a place for us to rest . I believe there is a lot you need to deal with as well . We can meet again when you are done with your clan affairs . "

Dong Ziwan nodded gratefully before bringing them to the residence prepared for them . And just like that, Xiang Shaoyun's group started staying at the Dong Clan .

"Young master, are you interested in that girl?" asked Devouring Ghost .

Xiang Shaoyun replied, "We are only friends who have survived a dangerous encounter together . "

"Good . Young master, your future is full of promise . Your wife should be the best of the best, a remarkable beauty with outstanding talent . Although this girl looks decent, she is still not good enough for you," said Devouring Ghost . "Your future wife should be picked from the most eligible ladies of the various regions . "

"Hehe, I never knew you placed such importance on status," said Xiang Shaoyun with a smile .

"The superpowers of the various regions have stood tall all these years relying not only on their terrifying accumulation but also on their selective method of picking their other halves . That is how these superpowers ensure that their offspring possess an extraordinary bloodline as well . This is something you need to be very careful about, young master," reminded Devouring Ghost . He then laughed and added, "Hehe, but if she is willing to be your concubine, I don't really care . "

The reason Devouring Ghost had said all that was because he did not wish for Xiang Shaoyun to only see Dong Ziwan alone . It was obvious how much hope he placed on Xiang Shaoyun .

Xiang Shaoyun understood Devouring Ghost's feelings, but he did not really care . He would simply follow his heart . Dong Ziwan was beautiful and kind, but he hadn't really fallen in love with her . However, he did not deny that he did have a high opinion of her . Otherwise, he wouldn't have bothered helping her and her clan .

Suddenly, Du Xuanhao said, "Young master, I am going to break through," 

Pleasantly surprised, Xiang Shaoyun said, "Really?"

"Yes . After cultivating the Scorching Sun Manual, I have been growing rapidly . After this battle, I feel like a few days of seclusion will be enough for me to smoothly break through," said Du Xuanhao seriously .

"That's great! We need to quickly find a place for you to break through," said Xiang Shaoyun gleefully . A troubled look covered his face as he said, "Trouble might come here at any moment, so this is not a good place for that . What should we do?"

He had just promised to stay for a bit, so he would be too embarrassed to suddenly leave .

"Don't worry, young master . I can do it here . Even if another battle erupts, it won't affect me . I have broken through in the midst of battle many times before . Some minor disturbances won't be able to stop me . In fact, it will help me break through more quickly," said Du Xuanhao confidently .

"Fine, you will attempt your breakthrough here . Devouring Ghost and Jin Wo will stand guard for you," said Xiang Shaoyun .

If Du Xuanhao could break through as well, with his combat prowess, Du Xuanhao would no longer need to fear any Dragon Ascension Realm experts . At that time, with both Devouring Ghost and Du Xuanhao by his side, Xiang Shaoyun would be safe so long as they did not encounter Sovereigns . Xiang Shaoyun felt incredibly lucky to have accepted Du Xuanhao as his follower .

Just as Du Xuanhao was about to start his seclusion, Xiang Shaoyun recalled something and called out to him, "Big Brother Du, I have something for you . "

He then took out a pile of spirit crystals . There were at least 100,000 of them, and all of them were mid-grade spirit crystals . This was a wealth enough to shock even Du Xuanhao . Although he was an Emperor, he was not as wealthy as Xiang Shaoyun .

"Take these spirit crystals as backup," said Xiang Shaoyun . A brightly colored object then appeared in his palm as he said, "Take this as well . I want you to grow as fast as possible . "

When Du Xuanhao saw the item in Xiang Shaoyun's hand, he cried out in alarm, "T-this is a blaze flower!"
