Chapter 596: Chapter 596: An Unexpected Encounter with Xia Ying
The subsequent rewards were material possessions, such as a mansion in Manhattan and a country estate in suburban London…
These rewards were far less enticing to Huang Xiaolong than exploring the secret territories and the “Dragon Rising” Martial Arts Tournant co-hosted by the top ten ancient martial families.
Nightfall covered the ancestral land of the Ying Family.
mbers of the clan were slaughtering chickens and sheep in the square, setting up a long, open-air banquet, many beautiful ladies dressing in festive robes and singing and dancing.
Huang Xiaolong was hungry, so he started wolfing down a roasted suckling pig.
Many of the clan mbers ca over to toast Ying Xiao voluntarily, their faces beaming in flattery, and treated Ying Aotian with the utmost respect, referring to him as “Family Head” in a fully cringing manner.
All mbers along Ying Xiao’s line rose to success!
By contrast, Ying Chong’s line was stark different. Before the clan eting started, they had been glorified, but now, they were neglected. Moreover, due to the enmity between Ying Xiao and Ying Chong’s lines, almost all the clan mbers rationally chose sides. They not only alienated Ying Chong’s line, but might also, at Ying Xiao’s hint, kick them when they were down, and ruthlessly oppress them!
Each mber of the Ying Chong’s line glared venomously and resentfully at the triumphant Ying Xiao, Ying Aotian, and – Huang Xiaolong.
However, completely restrained, they wouldn’t dare to retaliate within the ancestral land.
The night passed in revelry.
Of course, for Huang Xiaolong, the most joyous part was when he returned to his room after the party. Miss Ying Aoshan was all about pleasing him, utterly charming and obedient.
That night, Ying Aoshan satisfied all of Huang Xiaolong’s reasonable and unreasonable requests willingly.
A truly imperial treatnt.
The next day, Ying Xiao, as the Family Head, issued an order – from then on, unless the Ying clan mbers had special issues to deal with, they would stay in the ancestral land to practice martial arts, preparing for the summit held by the ten ancient martial families months later!
He also prepared to pass down the complete set of swordsmanship and the “Six Pulse Divine Swords” to loyal clan mbers, causing the overall strength of the Ying family to make a leap!
With these trump cards, plus Huang Xiaolong, his precious son-in-law, Ying Xiao had started to harbor so ambitions – the position of the Ying family among the top ten ancient martial families should be leveled up!
Huang Xiaolong prepared to bid farewell and leave the Ying’s ancestral land.
He couldn’t afford to waste several months here, accompanying the Ying clan to practice in seclusion.
Wasting ti is a waste of life, isn’t it?
Ying Aoshan intended to leave with Huang Xiaolong, but was dissuaded by him.
Huang Xiaolong laughed, “My sweet wife, your father and brother-in-law now hold a few rare, ancient martial secrets. You’d better focus on your practice. I am sure you can level up. We will et again in a few months.”
Huang Xiaolong didn’t want Ying Aoshan to fall into complacency.
“But… I will miss you,” Ying Aoshan mumbled with a pout, feeling a bit aggrieved.
“I will miss you too, but it’s not like we’re parting forever,” Huang Xiaolong comforted.
In the end, Ying Aoshan obediently agreed with Huang Xiaolong that she would stay focused at the ancestral land and practice before the kick-off of the “Dragon Rising” Martial Arts Tournant hosted by the top ten ancient martial families.
“Brother-in-law… words cannot express my gratitude.” Ying Aotian looked at Huang Xiaolong with teary eyes of gratitude. “In the future, if you have any requests, just say the word.”
“Hahaha~~~ Don’t be polite with , I’m leaving.” Huang Xiaolong, a carefree person, bid farewell to the mbers of the Ying Family who had co to see him off, and headed straight out of the Ying Family’s ancestral land.
‘Brother-in-law! You absolutely must not miss the Ascending Dragon Martial Arts Conference. Our Ying Family is depending on you to compete with the other ancient martial arts families!’ Ying Aotian shouted from behind.
‘Of course I won’t miss it…’ A hint of a smile appeared at the corner of Huang Xiaolong’s mouth.
After consuming so special wild fruit, Huang Xiaolong passed through a series of poisonous swamps and successfully reached the outside world.
Outside the Ying Family’s ancestral land, there were many wooden huts that were reminiscent of a vacation village. There were also quite a few luxury off-road vehicles parked there.
All Huang Xiaolong needed to do was find the key to one of the cars in one of the wooden huts, and he could drive back to the “modern world”.
Truthfully, living for so long in the Ying Family’s ancestral land and hanging out with a group of people who dressed in ancient clothing and acted like people from the past, made Huang Xiaolong feel a bit uncomfortable and out of sorts.
“Ah~~~ I’m finally out!” Huang Xiaolong stretched lazily and deeply inhaled the clear and fragrant mountain air.
It was about lunchti. Suddenly, Huang Xiaolong saw smoke rising from the chimney of one of the wooden huts.
The aroma of cooked rice wafted in with the wind.
Obviously, soone was cooking inside the wooden hut.
“Huh?” Huang Xiaolong was montarily puzzled. He stepped closer to the wooden hut, wondering to himself, ‘This is the Ying Family’s ancestral land, deep in the wilderness. It’s not a place anyone can find easily… Who could be cooking here?’
As he approached the wooden house, a woman’s voice rang out from inside. “Who is it?”
The voice was one Huang Xiaolong found familiar. Instantly, he rembered who owned this soft yet sexy voice.
Footsteps rang out, and a woman ran out from inside the house.
The woman was in her mid to late twenties, dressed in branded clothing, exuding a trendy and beautiful aura, with a sophisticated and cool charm. Her body was slender but not skinny. She had all the right curves, particularly her pair of exposed, long and well-proportioned legs, which were as precious and stunning as ivory.
She was beautiful, but not delicate. On the contrary, she harbored a strength that surpassed that of the average person.
“Ah? Xia Ying, what are you doing here?” Huang Xiaolong looked surprised, he paused. ‘Is it possible that she ca with Xia Chuchu, who is no longer with us, but didn’t enter the Ying Family’s ancestral land?’
The beauty who ran out of the wooden house was none other than Xia Ying.
At this mont, upon seeing Huang Xiaolong, the near-inhospitable frost in Xia Ying’s eyes instantly lted, replaced by surprise, excitent, gentle warmth, and palpitations…
“Little Long! You…you…you went to the Ying Family’s ancestral land?” Xia Ying seed to have guessed sothing, a touch of gloom flitted across her face, but it quickly dissipated, “Where is Miss Ying Aoshan?”
“Oh… Everyone in the Ying Family is in retreat, I got bored and just ca out.” Huang Xiaolong laughed. “Why did you run to this remote mountain? Aren’t you afraid of the venomous snakes, fierce beasts, and mysterious legends in the Qin Mountain Range? Who knows, a prehistoric beast might jump out and swallow you whole.”
“Pfft~~~” Xia Ying laughed at Huang Xiaolong’s joke. “Little Long, us martial arts practitioners, how could we be afraid of those? Moreover, I’m here to find soone.”
“Who are you looking for?” Huang Xiaolong was intrigued.
“Xia Chuchu, and two of my family elders.” Xia Ying didn’t hide anything from Huang Xiaolong, “Chuchu is my cousin, she went to the Ying Family’s ancestral land this ti, it seems to have sothing to do with her marriage. Coincidentally, I was also in Shaanxi Province for leisure, so I thought I might as well co for a visit. By the way, Little Long, you were at the Ying Family’s clan assembly, did you see my cousin Chuchu?”
