Chapter 353 (2/2)

They started returning to the Xia Hamlet. With Jin Wo's speed, they only needed less than a day to make a round trip between Xia Hamlet and the Hundred Beast Mountain Range.

When Xiang Shaoyun arrived at the Xia Hamlet, he found Ye Chaomu and Xia Yingying chatting like the best of friends.

”What are you two talking about? You're so engrossed in conversation,” asked Xiang Shaoyun as he hopped off Jin Wo's back.

”You're back so fast?” Ye Chaomu asked.

”How long would it take to get rid of some trash?” said Xiang Shaoyun with a shrug.

”True.” Ye Chaomu smiled. A crafty look surfaced on her face as she said, ”We were talking about you. Turns out you have caught her eye!”

The moment Ye Chaomu said that, Xia Yingying's face turned completely red, and she lowered her head bashfully, no longer daring to raise it.

”Stop talking nonsense. Look at what you are doing to her.” Xiang Shaoyun glared at Ye Chaomu before asking, ”Where's Liuhui?”

”He's busy cooking inside,” said Ye Chaomu.

”Cooking? Why bother? Just get some food from the restaurant,” said Xiang Shaoyun.

”There are no restaurants here,” said Ye Chaomu.

”Oh...haha, I completely forgot about that,” said Xiang Shaoyun awkwardly.

At this time, Xia Liuhui walked out the house and said, ”Boss, you're back? Come, try my food. I guarantee both you and Sister Chaomu will like it!”

When Xia Liuhui's gaze landed on Ye Chaomu, his eyes filled with emotions, his feelings for her evident. Unfortunately, Ye Chaomu only gave him an indifferent smile and no other reply.

Instead, her gaze landed on Xiang Shaoyun. However, the tender emotions she was sending his way through her eyes were completely ignored. Not far away, Xia Yingying was playing with the edge of her s.h.i.+rt nervously, occasionally stealing glances at Xiang Shaoyun, her heart thumping without stop.

They proceeded to eat, and Xia Liuhui was indeed quite a good cook. The dishes he made were all delicious, and both Xiang Shaoyun and Ye Chaomu praised them repeatedly as they ate. Xiang Shaoyun also took out some good liquors so they could eat while drinking. They greatly enjoyed themselves.

Even Xia Yingying drank three cups of liquor. After that, her eyes suddenly turned burning hot as she looked at Xiang Shaoyun and said, ”Thank you for saving my big brother! I'll drink three cups in your honor!”

She downed three more cups gallantly.

Xiang Shaoyun had no choice but to drink alongside her and downed three cups of liquor as well. He then said, ”Your big brother is my brother. That means you are my little sister as well. You don't have to be so polite to me in the future.” He took out some astral liquid and soul spring water before saying, ”I don't have anything good, but these two liquids are probably good enough to help you break through. Consider them gifts from your new big brother.”

”T-this...how can I accept something this valuable?” Xia Yingying answered nervously.

She then looked at Xia Liuhui, trying to ask his opinion on what to do.

”Don't bother looking at me, Yingying. In the future, don't be polite with my boss. Just accept whatever he is giving you,” said Xia Liuhui with a smile. He looked at Xiang Shaoyun and said, ”Boss, you have to be fair. I want a gift as well!”
