Chapter 272 (1/2)

After that, not only did Ye Lang buy everything in this small town, but he would also buy large amounts of things from each town. When he sees people that treat refugees poorly, he would buy just about everything there, disrupting their economy.

With his vast amount of gold, he lured the greedy merchants to sell everything, even their own backup supplies, leaving them with nothing but gold. Ye Lang wanted the greedy merchants to understand what it was like to be a refugee, with the disrupted towns in chaos, no supplies and huge inflation…

After continuously doing the same thing, Ye Lang emptied all his money, but the sheer number of things he bought from the many cities he visited was enough for him to use for many lifetimes.

Of course, those things were meant for the refugees and not him…

Ye Lang could finally announce that he was broke, thus succeeding in being a prodigal son!

He learned that to become the best prodigal son, one had to do a lot of good deeds, as that can also help a lot of people…

“The wind blows away the eggshell, I’m at peace with my wealth gone…” Ye Lang happily exclaimed as he finished his last gold.

[Note: it means the wind blows away meaningless material things]

His followers were baffled by what he was doing and could not understand the meaning of his doings.

“My prince, why do you feel so comfortable spending all of your money? Your thought process is very bizarre!”

“Is it? I do not think so. Ever since I was young, I have wanted to be a prodigal son, it is what I was born to do!!” Ye Lang blurted out with confidence.

“...” What was there to be proud of in being a prodigal son? How did his family raise him to be like this? And what was it that caused him to want to be a prodigal son?

For this, Ye Chengtian and Long Anqi said, ” Let him be, we are wealthy enough for him to do it anyways, as long as he does not get in trouble.”

Ye Lanyu mentioned that she would stand by her brother in being a prodigal son.

The seventh princess responded by claiming she would take care of him after he was done.

Tiger race voiced out by saying everyone has a hobby, and being a prodigal son was his hobby.

Princess Longji declared, ”The faster he becomes prodigal, the better. That way there can be an excuse for that brat to be by my side…”

The seventh brother and the others said, ”Prodigal? The real question is will he be able to become one? If he doesn’t, there will be another problem…”

Zhen Xiaoyan:”……”

Ye Lang and his bunch were not always together, rather they would split up and help as many refugees as they could every day. Finding and helping people was what they did along the way.

As a refugee, one must know how to save oneself, and not wait to be saved. This was the most valuable lesson that Ye Lang had taught them.

So what if one was a refugee, did that mean they had to wait to be saved? Of course not, they must unite to fight against all disasters.
