Chapter 128: Chapter One Hundred and Twenty Four: Big Cousin
Translator: 549690339
Xu Laoying, who hadn’t been able to stand up for his aunt and cousin, felt very disappointed, especially when he realized that Tang Sen, who he had always thought of as a scoundrel, was not the person he had imagined. He suddenly felt like he couldn’t face his uncle-in-law because all the rebukes and reprimands he had prepared were useless now. He had to show respect as the younger generation and all he felt was that he needed time to adjust.
“How did this happen!?” Xu Laoying cried out in his heart. It was not that he didn’t want his aunt to be happy, but this happiness seemed to have far surpassed any standard of happiness.
A genius martial artist with only one wife, and with all the power in the Tang family mansion given to Xu Shuhui, how different could this be from Tang Sen becoming a part of the Xu family?
To achieve such a degree, why did he even bother to elope with his aunt? Wouldn’t it have been better to stay in Yuanzhou?
Unable to understand, he could only put these thoughts to the back of his mind as he still had a task to accomplish.
“Aunt, there’s one more thing.” Xu Laoying took out a beast jade from his bosom and said seriously, “My father said that you’ve loved spirit beasts since you were young, so this is a gift they sent you.”
Xu Changfeng told him that his aunt had always loved spirit beasts and had dreamed of raising many, many of them. He didn’t know if the Tang family had the ability to help her fulfill this dream.
So this wild beast was the dowry that her father and uncle had given to Auntie, serving as a guarantee. If Auntie ever faced hardship, this beast could bring her back to Xiling.
It could only be said that the two brothers, like Xu Laoying, wrongly judged Tang Sen with malice.
They never expected the situation to be like this, but this result was undoubtedly the best, as a woman’s bravery had not been wasted.
Xu Shuhui took the beast jade and had a servant call a Beast Tamer over to whom she handed the jade.
Seeing her casual treatment of the beast, Xu Laoying quickly reminded her, “Aunt, be careful. This is a wild beast with the blood of a divine beast and it is extremely proud. If it lives with ordinary spirit beasts, it can easily become violent.”
“No problem.” Xu Shuhui waved her hand, she knew her spirit beasts well.
“There are several other wild beasts with divine beast lineage in the Spirit Beast Garden. Once it fights a few rounds with them, they’ll get to know each other. They’ll establish their own territories, so there’s no need to worry too much.”contemporary romance
Xu Laoying, who felt like he had seen a ghost, couldn’t believe the scale of the Tang family’s wealth. It had to be said that having a wild beast with divine beast blood was rare and sought after, not to mention the combat strength of these beasts. The key point was that a wild beast with divine blood had the qualification to ascend to the Beast King, which means it can rival the King Realm.
Even though Xu Changfeng and his brother were lords of a city, they only had a dozen or so wild beasts. But, to his astonishment, his aunt said they had several such beasts in their Spirit Beast Garden alone.
After this conversation, Xu Laoying increasingly felt lost about how to confront his unfamiliar uncle-in-law.
“Maybe you should go out and walk around to clear your head.” Tang Luo suggested sympathetically, looking at his bewildered cousin.
The Xu family in Yuanzhou must have outstanding resources, as demonstrated by their ability to cultivate such a martial artist and offer a divine beast bloodline wild beast casually. Xu Laoying was not overwhelmed by the strength of the Tang family, but he was a bit confused due to the many surprising turns of events. Ang Luo also had many questions for this cousin of his. With Xu Shuhui around, he felt a bit restrained. Hence, suggesting a walk in an unfamiliar environment.
Outside, he would be the only familiar person around Xu Laoying, which would help them engage in meaningful conversations. That’s why dates often occur in unfamiliar places, to deepen emotional connections.
“Yes, you two brothers should go out and take a walk, have a good talk and communicate your feelings.” Xu Shuhui looked at her considerate son and said contently.
She had always felt that Tang Luo was too arrogant. Among the many children of his age in the family, it seemed that no one was worthy in his eyes. All the other children had friends they grew up with, but he was always alone. She thought that was just his nature, but seeing his intention to befriend his cousin, it seemed that the others in the Tang family were not good enough for him.
If Tang Luo could get along with Xu Laoying, nothing could be better than that, because in her heart, no matter what, Yuanzhou was her hometown and she always wanted to go back there someday. Tang Luo was her treasure that she would definitely take with her because he was her greatest pride.
Xu Laoying, who was dazed due to the unexpected turns of events, immediately agreed to the idea of going out for a walk when he heard the suggestion.
“Alright, cousin, let’s take a stroll around Xiling.” He just wanted to leave this strange place as soon as possible because he felt incredibly embarrassed by his behavior!
Tang Luo cracked a smile and led Elder Xu Shuhui out.
Once outside the mansion, the two strolled down the main street. Only then did Elder Xu Shuhui heave a sigh of relief. He needed time to digest this sudden turn of events.
Seeing Elder Xu Shuhui finally relax, Tang Luo asked, “So, cousin, what interests you? Combat arenas or antique shops? Xiling is a hub of global commerce with many exotic items. Shall we go see some?”
“Combat arenas? Antique shops? No, no, no.” Elder Xu Shuhui waved his hands, indicating his disinterest in these things.
With his innocent peach blossom eyes, he sincerely asked, “Cousin, do you know how many red-light districts and brothels Xiling has?”
Silence…
Tang Luo couldn’t believe his ears. So this was his cousin’s true nature?
But was it really appropriate to discuss brothels with a fifteen-year-old? Damn, what kind of martial art practice led him to reach this level?!
Elder Xu Shuhui, watching Tang Luo’s stunned face, elbowed him lightly in the chest with a mischievous grin, “You’re already fifteen, Surely you’re not still a virgin?!”
Seeing Elder Xu Shuhui so wildly different now, Tang Luo felt utterly dumbstruck and said nothing.
“Well! It’s not good for a noble young master to still be a virgin at fifteen, you’re more likely to fall into a honey trap!” Elder Xu Shuhui patted Tang Luo’s wooden face, sighed and said, “Many aspiring martial artists from Yuanzhou have fallen for the beauty schemes, it’s a cautionary tale.”
“I don’t need to hear this. I’m well versed in hundreds of romance plots, and familiar with thousands of green tea bitch tricks, so beauty schemes are useless against me!” Tang Luo mentally screamed, but he could only muster an awkward, yet polite smile on his face.
Seeing Tang Luo’s “shy” expression, Elder Xu Shuhui confidently patted his own chest and said, “In Yuanzhou, a fourteen-year-old noble young man gets a concubine, don’t you have one?”
How can I expect this man to diligently practice martial arts? He’s probably only relying on his talent. Tang Luo’s eyes were filled with doubt. If it wasn’t for the visible aura of fighting spirit above this guy’s head, based on his performance just now, Tang Luo would’ve seen him as a waste of a young master whose mind is filled with lecherous thoughts.
“You really don’t have one!” Seeing Tang Luo’s expression, Elder Xu Shuhui felt even more sorry for his cousin and patted his chest, “Cousin, don’t worry. Since I came to Xiling, I will make you a real man!”
Darn it, some creepy enthusiasm.
“Thank you…” Tang Luo managed a wry smile, responding awkwardly, feeling like Xiling had suddenly become his home instead of his hometown.
“Hey- hey!” The overly casual Elder Xu Shuhui hooked his arm around Tang Luo’s shoulder, acting buddy-buddy.
“You shouldn’t be thanking me! You’re my aunt’s son, my blood brother. As your older cousin, how could I neglect you? Let’s go, accompany me on some errands first. Then I’ll take you to a place called Tianxiang Building where there are untouched chicks! I’ll buy one for you to be your concubine!”
He’s heading straight to the brothel the moment he enters the city? I really… admire that…
Tang Luo felt despair in his heart, thinking: Do all the Xu Family members have this overly friendly trait?
Shuhui was like this, and this Elder Xu Shuhui was also like this, and their strength was too great, he couldn’t resist them at all!
I must learn a body tempering martial arts skill that strengthens my strength. After that, who else could drag me around?!
Tang Luo,-arm in-arm with his cousin, walked along with a helpless look..
