21 Returning Victorious (1/2)

Dugu Xiao Yi’s eyes were fixed on the huge package of money and precious assets won by Jun Mo Xie as she walked behind him. Earlier, she had been satisfied that she had won a decent amount of two-hundred-thousand liang. However, Jun Mo Xie had then won innumerable precious treasures in the last round. A few of those treasures were so precious that their value couldn’t be determined in the market.

This created a feeling of discomfort and conflict in her heart. [How did this wastrel end-up winning so much money? And I… who have always been a dutiful daughter… have earned so less.]

Dugu Xiao Yi looked around, [Is it possible to obtain a few items from Jun Mo Xie’s treasure? But, it isn’t decent to ask him directly. Darn! Jun Mo Xie, why don’t you offer a few items to me yourself?]

Tang Yuan smiled from ear-to-ear; he looked like the Buddha. He walked-up to the front as fast as a tiger and said, ”Third Young Master, I’m very impressed with your style. Hahaha… I felt so happy to see those bastards lose everything… ummm… Brother, don’t you think it’s the right time for you to give the sword and accompaniment jade to me?”

”To give them to you?!” Jun Xie stopped dead in his tracks. He asked in a surprised manner, ”What are you saying? Why would I give them to you?”

[Why?] Tang Yuan was shocked. ”Is it possible that you don’t intend to give them to me?”

”Give them to you?” Jun Xie looked even more surprised. ”I don’t think that I’m duty-bound to give anything to you. I don’t understand what you are talking about.”

”I…I…I…” Tang Yuan was truly in a pathetic condition. He understood that Jun Mo Xie considered these items as his own since he had won them in a bet. How could he ask him to part with such precious treasure? However, he was worried about what would happen if his father was to ask him about his possessions. He could still take care of the money problem. But, the biggest problem he was facing at present was that his assets were now in Jun Mo Xie’s possessions, and he had no way to get them back.

Tang Yuan finally accepted this reality. He had understood that Jun Mo Xie’s win had nothing to do with solving his problems. He shuddered as he thought of his father’s face.

”I can’t just give them to you. I never do anything without getting something in return… never…”Jun Xie shook his head and replied. He then looked at Tang Yuan’s depressed face and added, ”But, I can sell them to you. I can also get some benefit from this matter in that case. What do you think?” Jun Xie held out a finger as he said.

”Hahahaha… you’re my genuine brother…” Tang Yuan became extremely excited. He jumped at Jun Xie and hugged him tightly. He didn’t even consider what benefits he was going to give out in this matter.

Tang Yuan didn’t even consider that a person like Jun Mo Xie won’t be able to bear the weight of his body. Both of them fell to the ground, with Jun Xie getting squashed below Tang Yuan’s body. Only the fat slabs of Tang Yuan’s heavy body could be seen. Not even a single corner of Jun Xie’s clothing could be seen beneath him.

Dugu Xiao Yi burst out laughing as she saw this, [These two morons are so funny…]

Everyone rushed towards them, and pulled-up Tang Yuan’s fat body. Jun Xie looked as if he had been choked to death. His entire body had been surrounded by multiple layers of fat; so much so that not even the air could reach him. He looked despondent. [I could never think that a mountain of a man would fall down on me today. I’ve just been to hell.]

”You fatty, you’ve made me very angry now. You’ll now have to pay more. I’ll not sell the sword and the accompaniment jade for less than one-million silver liang. But, this price is just for today. Tomorrow… you’ll have to pay one-and-a-half-million liang.” Jun Xie said as he straightened his body. He felt like puking since his nose had been filled with the smell of fat.

”What?!” Tang Yuan screamed.
