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 bloodl.u.s.t.

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. 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 embarra.s.sing 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 b.u.m, 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 br.i.m.m.i.n.g 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.”
