Chapter 1580 - 807: Noble Ones (Part 2)
"Great! Our time is truly precious; we only have tomorrow. I don’t want any unexpected problems." Xiao Kuangyun said coldly, then shook his head: "You are all descendants of Elder Xiao Zheng, bringing this gift is your only privilege. Xiao Ba, deliver the gift."
A person named Xiao Ba stepped forward, placing a wooden box in front of Xiao Yunhai without expression. Xiao Yunhai trembled as he accepted it, looking frightened: "I thank... thank the Xiao Sect for the gift. I’m very grateful."
"The contents inside are called ’Profound Opening Powder’. It can clear profound meridians, allowing faster cultivation for a certain period. It also has great healing effects on damaged deep veins for any reason. Even in our Small Sect, this is considered very effective medicine."
The implication was... since it is an effective medicine of the Small Sect, it would be considered first-class Magic Potion for them.
"It also has a very good restorative effect on damaged deep veins for any reason"... this sentence caused the expression of the previously silent and quiet Xiao to suddenly spasm. His eyes gleamed with strange light, but when his expression turned dark, he immediately sighed inwardly.
Xiao Yunhai carefully placed the wooden box to the side, then said gratefully: "Since it is the Xiao Sect’s medicine, its effect surely exceeds my imagination. I don’t know how our Xiao Family will repay Master Xiao’s great favor... Since Master Xiao Sect does not need rest, shall I have a few people take you to tour the Xiao Family or Floating Cloud City? Even though this is a small town, we still have some places that will open your eyes."
Seeing Xiao Kuangyun not shake his head, Xiao Yunhai immediately reached out his hand to drag Xiao Yulong over: "This is my son Xiao Yulong. His age is similar to that of Young Master Xiao. Why not let him take everyone out for a walk?"
Xiao Yunhai’s intention was clear. He hoped to make Xiao Yulong the first to associate and become familiar with Xiao Kuangyun as much as possible. This way, his chance of being taken to the Xiao Sect will further increase. If he can make a good impression on Xiao Kuangyun, then he has the potential to gain Xiao Kuangyun’s protection in the Xiao Sect, and thus rise quickly...
"This humble servant is Xiao Yulong, being able to witness the elegance of the Xiao Sect nobles, is undoubtedly a lifetime wealth." Xiao Yulong stepped forward, his face humble and modest.
Xiao Kuangyun looked at Xiao Yulong and said coldly: "Very well, then take us for a stroll. I’ve stayed in popular areas for a long time, seeing remote areas is also good. The rest can disperse. I dislike being noticed by too many people. I’ll find you when needed."
"Yes! Yes!" Xiao Yunhai quickly nodded as he answered: "If sir has needs, then please immediately tell anyone here. Yulong, please take care of these guests."
"Yes, father."
Xiao Yunhai and the five elders left respectfully. People from the Small Sect arrived later than expected, so naturally, business would be postponed until tomorrow.
Xiao Yulong stood beside Xiao Kuangyun with a relatively humble attitude, a smile on his face: "Master Xiao, though this Floating Cloud City is small, it has everything you might expect. I don’t know if Mr. Xiao wants to experience the beautiful scenery first, exquisite food, or... beautiful women?
Seeing the obscure smile on Xiao Yulong’s face, Xiao Kuangyun’s eyes brightened, and a slight lecherous smile appeared: "As men, what do you think we should experience first?"
Xiao Yulong knew Xiao Kuangyun’s personality from his yellowish-brown complexion. He immediately let out a laugh: "It’s clear at a glance that Young Master Xiao is a real man! As a real man, obviously, we should first experience what a real man likes! Although our Floating Cloud City is a small town, our Heavenly Fragrance House is well-known. Hundreds travel due to its reputation. Shall we take a turn there first?"
"You, boy, are very wise." Xiao Kuangyun’s lips curled as he winked at Xiao Yulong’s eyes: "Let’s go."
Xiao Yulong walked ahead swiftly. Just as they were about to leave, a silhouette of a young girl appeared in Xiao Kuangyun’s sight.
This girl’s divine figure was wonderfully captivating, subtle to the extreme. From a distance, her posture was so elegant that it was hard to describe. Underneath a sky-blue dress, delicate, slender legs could be vaguely seen. As she walked slowly, her clothes billowed, and the jewelry occasionally glittered on her exquisite and feminine divine figure. Her waist, and the perfect curves of her chest and hips were simply unbelievable. She exuded a soul-stirring power unmatched, possessing an appearance and attitude proud beyond this world.
Xiao Kuangyun gaped, his entire divine body frozen on the spot. His eyes firmly locked on the distant exquisite silhouette. Panic surged within him, almost believing himself to see an Immortal maiden from legends. The girl seemed to notice his gaze, tilting her face coldly towards him, then turning away into a courtyard. Even her complexion, from a glance as she turned away, made his divine body tremble, as if all bones within had softened and melted.
Long after Xia Qingyue had left his sight, he still hadn’t regained his senses.
Xia Qingyue’s sudden appearance and untimely expression caused Xiao Yulong’s heart to thump, and he prayed Xiao Kuangyun wouldn’t notice her. Unfortunately, Xiao Kuangyun saw her and showed a reaction similar to most men upon seeing Xia Qingyue’s true face for the first time... no, a more exaggerated response. Xiao Yulong’s heart immediately clenched... whose gaze did Xiao Kuangyun cast upon in this small Floating Cloud City? Once Xiao Kuangyun set his sights on her, it meant he would never obtain Xia Qingyue in his life.
Nevertheless, he immediately bit his teeth softly, standing beside Xiao Kuangyun, waving his hand in front of him. He whispered: "Master Xiao?"
"That girl... that girl, who is she? Who is she?" Xiao Kuangyun’s expression was turbulent, even his voice trembled: "This world... actually has such a beautiful woman! All my wives and concubines... all women I’ve played with... combined wouldn’t compare to her... An Immortal... she’s just an Immortal..."
Xiao Kuangyun was already excitedly agitated. The light in his eyes almost burnt to the degree of fire. Xiao Yulong turned to a kindly attitude, laughing: "She is called Xia Qingyue, the most beautiful woman in our Floating Cloud City. She truly is like a Fairy."
"Xia... Qing Yue. Xia? Then isn’t she a member of a small family?"
"Yes!" Xiao Yulong opened his eyes and nodded. He clearly stated: "She isn’t a member of our small family, but the daughter of the richest merchant in Floating Cloud City. She married into our small family three days ago, marrying the Fifth Elder’s young Xiao.
"What? She’s married?" Xiao Kuangyun’s expression hid his disappointment. In an instant, it became jealousy and strong desire: "She actually married! Married into your small family... that’s utterly ridiculous! How could an elder’s grandson of a small family be worthy of such a fairy tale?
"Yes! Young Master Xiao’s words are too real!" Xiao Yulong immediately agreed: "Only someone as talented as Mr. Xiao can be worthy of such a fairy tale. Young Master Xiao doesn’t know, though she married an elder’s grandson, he is actually the most useless person in our Xiao Family... His deep veins have been deformed since childhood. Even now, he is only at the first layer of the Basic Profound Domain. He is absolutely the disgrace of our small family."
"What... what?" Xiao Kuangyun’s expression turned gray, his hands began to tremble: "Such beauty actually married that kind of trash! This is absolutely unforgivable... unforgivable!"
"That kind of woman should belong to me, Xiao Kuangyun! How is a piece of trash from a small family worthy of her?!" Xiao Kuangyun growled softly, jealousy igniting the flames. He immediately headed towards the courtyard Xia Qingyue had just entered.
Just as he took two steps, a powerful and heavy voice came from behind him: "Young master. The sect master who appointed you here is also a learning experience. The sect master specifically cautioned you to do nothing that would tarnish the sect’s reputation! Especially stealing another’s wife."
