Chapter 355: Empty

"Following you might not necessarily slow down my cultivation," said Ye Chaomu stubbornly .

"Little Mu Mu, listen to me . I need to do all I can to grow as quickly as possible . If you stay, even if you won't be affected, it will definitely affect me as I won't be able to focus . And with a big beauty like you by my side, how am I going to get a wife and find you a sister-in-law?" Xiang Shaoyun said earnestly .

"Hmph! I knew you were up to no good! I will be sticking to you! I don't need a sister-in-law . You only need me," said Ye Chaomu .

"Ye Chaomu, listen to me! As your big brother, I command you to grow as quickly as possible . In the future, we still need to get Father out of Wumo Pass," said Xiang Shaoyun solemnly .

A wronged expression appeared on Ye Chaomu's face as she said, "Why are you being so fierce? Fine, fine, I'll listen . "

No matter how strong Ye Chaomu was, she was still Xiang Shaoyun's little sister . When he got angry, she still listened to him obediently .

"Sorry, I am not blaming you for anything, but it will be much better for us to cultivate separately . Perhaps the next time we meet I will already be stronger than you . You need to continue working hard," said Xiang Shaoyun with a gentle tone .

"I won't be surpassed by you . I'll be stronger than you forever! Otherwise, you'll bully me!" said Ye Chaomu .

"Hehe, we'll see," said Xiang Shaoyun with a confident smile . "But no matter how strong I become, I won't bully my Little Mu Mu . "

"That's smart," said Ye Chaomu, satisfied with the answer . She then leaned into Xiang Shaoyun and said, "Big brother, do you think Father is still alive?"

The Wumo Pass was a forbidden zone, and few who entered survived . Back then, Xiang Yangzhan and Shangguan Wusheng had battled at the outer fringe, and both had vanished afterwards . It was obvious something bad had happened to them .

A look of worry flashed past Xiang Shaoyun's face, but he said, "Father is strong . He is definitely still alive . "

. . .

The next day, Xia Datang woke up . He had recovered nicely after consuming the spirit medicine and spring water from Xiang Shaoyun . He was overjoyed to see his son Xia Liuhui back, but when he found out about the deaths of the villagers, he was overcome with sorrow .

Despite his sadness, he still forced himself to speak, seeing as there was a guest at his home, "Thank you, young man . Without your help, things would have been bad for us . "

"You are too polite, uncle . Even without me, Liuhui would have been able to deal with all those bandits himself," said Xiang Shaoyun humbly .

"Hehe, yes, he is quite capable now, but still not enough to deal with all the bandits," said Xia Datang as he looked at his son with a satisfied smile .

"Father, you underestimate me . Even without your injuries, you might not be my match anymore," said Xia Liuhui .

"I see you think you are all grown up and have forgotten how I used to beat your ass when you were a kid," said Xia Datang with a glare, instantly shutting up Xia Liuhui .

Evidently, Xia Liuhui still remembered some unpleasant memories from his childhood . Xia Datang's recovery placed Xia Liuhui and Xia Yingying in a much better mood .

They gathered the villagers and started distributing the gifts they had received from Xiang Shaoyun . After selling the items at the nearby cities, the villagers would be able to live a good life for a while . The gifts did somewhat alleviate their grief, and their gratefulness toward Xia Datang's family grew even more .

Xia Datang already enjoyed great prestige in the hamlet . With Xia Liuhui returning in glory coupled with the gifts he gave them, they now regarded Xia Datang's family as a family of living Buddhas .

In a flash, three days passed . Xia Datang could now walk around again, and he had also recovered some of his combat prowess . With his daughter taking care of him full time, the smile on his face grew wider day by day .

Today, Xia Liuhui and Xia Datang were having a serious discussion in a private room . This was the first serious meeting they had since their reunion .

"Tell me, what do you want to talk about?" asked Xia Datang .

"Father, I am planning to go with my boss . I will rarely have the chance to come back in the future," said Xia Liuhui forthrightly .

"You've decided?" Xia Datang asked with a complicated expression .

"Well, I'm trying to talk to you about it," said Xia Liuhui .

"Let me ask you, what do you think about your boss?" asked Xia Datang .

Xia Liuhui sank into a short silence before answering, "Boss has an extraordinary background, outstanding talent, is massively generous, and is a giant among men . "

"Since someone like that is willing to accept you, this is your luck . Go with him, then . The world is incomparably vast, and young people like you should really take a look at the world . An old man like me will not be a burden for you . I believe you will make me proud in the future," said Xia Datang .

"So you agree, Father?" Xia Liuhui asked .

"Of course . I was strict with you since your childhood because I had wanted you to be successful in life . Now, you are already at the Transformation Realm and will overtake me soon . In the future, you might even be a King . If that is so, you will bring honor to our ancestors," said Xia Datang expectantly .

Xia Liuhui shook his head . "My goal is not to be a King . "

"True, it is not easy to be a King . It is good enough to reach peak Transformation Realm," said Xia Datang .

"No, I mean I am going to become an Emperor!" Xia Liuhui declared resolutely .

"W-what? Y-you want to be an Emperor?" Xia Datang cried out in alarm .

He had never expected his son to be so ambitious .

"Yes . Boss is already almost a King, and in the future he will be a Sovereign . If I can only become a King, I will embarrass him . Furthermore, Chaomu is already a Queen . I will not allow myself to be looked down upon by her," said Xia Liuhui, his eyes brimming with confidence .

"What? You are saying that girl Ye Chaomu is at the Skysoar Realm?" asked Xia Datang in shock .

"Yes . Late-stage Skysoar Realm, to be precise . She is boss's little sister, but boss has only recently started cultivating . I believe he will catch up to her soon," Xia Liuhui said .  

Xia Datang was completely speechless by now . In his eyes, Skysoar Realm was already an insanely high realm of existence . But that little girl who looked to be about 16 or 17 years old was already a late-stage Skysoar Realm cultivator . What kind of a freak was she?

"Oh, right, Yingying and Chaomu seem to get along well . I am thinking of sending Yingying off with Chaomu . What do you think?" asked Xia Liuhui .

"Yes, it is time she goes out and takes a look at the world . If they are willing to accept her, that will be great . I can see they are decent people and are not really people to put up airs . I believe they will treat her well," agreed Xia Datang without hesitation .
