277: Sloppy development, just be careful
Yan Junlin quickly said, "Brother Xie, if you're short on money, just ask! What's the big deal?"
He waved his hand, and stacks of silver notes flew from his storage ring to Xie Weilou, looking to be about a hundred thousand taels.
Xie Weilou looked at the silver notes before him and said with a complicated expression, "I've truly fallen into the allure of money, unable to extricate myself all day long..."
As he spoke, he skillfully collected all the silver notes.
......
Yan Junlin and Yan Qingcheng were speechless.
You know you've fallen into the allure of money? Yet you still take it so decisively!
Xie Weilou raised his wine cup and said to Yan Junlin, "First Prince, today, you and I, brothers, will drink until we drop. When the day comes that you rule the world, I will surely raise a cup to you by your side."
Yan Junlin solemnly raised his wine cup, "If that day truly comes, I will still pour wine for Brother Xie."
The two of them drank a cup.
Afterward, they continued to drink, back and forth, until they were thoroughly intoxicated.
Yan Qingcheng returned to her seat and continued to play the zither, the music gradually becoming clear and pleasant to the ear.
The dancers began to dance, their silken sashes swaying with the wind, revealing their graceful figures. Their skirts fluttered, displaying their curves, a truly pleasing sight...
In the evening.
Endless red clouds appeared in the west, and numerous silvery-white mountains transformed into golden peaks. The golden light merged with the sky, dyeing everything around, incredibly beautiful.
Xie Weilou and Yan Junlin drank a great deal of fine wine.
"Let's stop here for today! I really can't drink anymore."
Xie Weilou waved his hand, his face flushed with intoxication.
Yan Junlin also appeared somewhat drunk; he struggled to stand up, "Since that's the case, let's end it here for today. After the Northern You Alliance concludes, Brother Xie and I will have a few more drinks."
"Good, good, good."
Xie Weilou also struggled to stand up, leaning on the table.
Yan Junlin said in a deep voice, "Someone, escort Brother Xie back."
A maid quickly came over, then helped Xie Weilou walk out of the pavilion.
After Xie Weilou left.
The drunken expression on Yan Junlin's face disappeared. He sat down casually and said helplessly, "This guy has a serious alcohol tolerance; he almost drank me under the table."
"Regarding the Northern You Alliance, what are your plans? If you intend to kill, our clan's experts can assist you."
Yan Qingcheng looked at Yan Junlin with an indifferent expression.
For Yan Junlin, the Northern You Alliance was an excellent opportunity to eliminate his brothers and sisters.
When the time came to fight the demon race, if some people died, it would be a perfectly normal occurrence.
"Let's see tomorrow!"
Yan Junlin's face showed a pensive expression.
Even with powerful demonic backing, he couldn't touch certain individuals, such as Princess Yan Ruyu; she was very mysterious.
Killing might not always succeed, but it could reveal the mysterious trump cards of certain people.
"As you wish..."
Yan Qingcheng's words were calm.
------
Zhenxi Marquis Manor.
"Greetings, Young Master!"
Butler Fu respectfully bowed to Xie Weilou.
Xie Weilou looked at Butler Fu; his cultivation had now reached Shackle Realm (Peak).
"Nothing significant has happened at Zhenxi Marquis Manor recently, has it?"
Xie Weilou asked.
Butler Fu said, "Young Master, rest assured, there is nothing at the moment."
Xie Weilou nodded lightly, then took out a jade bottle and handed it to Butler Fu, "This contains some Grade 3 pills, which should be enough for you to enter Tuojiang Realm."
Upon hearing this, Butler Fu's expression shook, and he immediately said, "Young Master, you must not! How precious are Grade 3 pills? You should use them yourself; do not waste them on me."
Xie Weilou smiled faintly, "These pills are of no use to me. Just take them!"
He didn't give Butler Fu a chance to refuse further, directly stuffing the jade bottle into his hand.
"Tomorrow is the Northern You Alliance. I'll get some good rest tonight. Don't disturb me."
Xie Weilou waved his hand and walked into the pavilion.
"Young Master..."
Butler Fu looked at Xie Weilou's retreating figure, a hint of emotion appearing in his old eyes.
Inside the pavilion.
Xie Weilou set up Restriction, then sat on the bed.
He took out the bronze egg.
The egg was as before, with no significant changes, but in the Void Heaven Sword Arena, he had personally witnessed the bronze egg's power, even startling the Stone Embryo away.
Whatever was inside this bronze egg was certainly extraordinary, which made him somewhat anticipate its hatching.
"I look forward to the day you hatch."
Xie Weilou put away the bronze egg and threw some spiritual items into his storage ring for the bronze egg to devour on its own.
......
He took out a scroll and stared at its contents, which was the Heavenly Peng Nine Steps.
"A day's time is a bit rushed. I'll try to comprehend this Heavenly Peng Nine Steps."
Xie Weilou thought to himself and then activated the power of the Heavenly Book, wanting to perform a deduction.
However, the result was as he imagined: the deduction failed.
The Heavenly Book's deductions were not always successful. Earlier, in Leize Canyon, it had only deduced the Ten Thousand Tribulations Thunder Punishment Body. Now, attempting another deduction had failed.
However, he couldn't rely on the Heavenly Book every time; he also had to cultivate himself.
The path of cultivation was endless. He couldn't rely on his golden finger for everything; he still had to work hard himself. After all, his talent wasn't bad.
Thinking of this, Xie Weilou closed his eyes and earnestly comprehended the Heavenly Peng Nine Steps...
The night passed without incident.
The next morning.
A sun rose from the east, and its light shone down, transforming the vast, silvery-white territory into a soft golden glow.
Some evergreen trees in the courtyard, their leaves frozen by ice crystals, were now shaking and struggling, trying to break through the ice and greet the light. The remaining plum blossoms on the plum tree also stood against the wind, displaying their final touch of crimson.
......
Xie Weilou slowly opened his eyes.
Throughout the night, he had gained much insight into the Heavenly Peng Nine Steps. He could practice it later and deepen his understanding of this movement technique through practice.
"Next, it's time to kill."
Xie Weilou murmured to himself, then got up and walked out of the pavilion.
"Greetings, Young Master."
In the courtyard, Lihua was leading some guards and maids in shoveling snow. Now, Zhenxi Marquis Manor was completely under Xie Weilou's control, and without Xie Cangxuan and others, it was much more harmonious.
Xie Weilou smiled faintly at Lihua and the others, "I'll be away for a while. You can continue with your duties."
Lihua nodded obediently, "Okay, Young Master. Please be careful."
"Mm!"
Xie Weilou smiled and then left Zhenxi Marquis Manor with his hands behind his back.
On the street.
Xie Weilou happened to encounter Yan Ruyi's carriage passing by.
"Stop the carriage!"
Yan Ruyi's voice rang out. She lifted the curtain, munching on a steamed bun.
"Xie Weilou, get in!"
Yan Ruyi waved at Xie Weilou with a cheerful smile.
Xie Weilou didn't stand on ceremony and directly got into the carriage.
Inside the carriage.
Yan Ruyi handed Xie Weilou a steamed bun and said with a charming smile, "The Northern You Alliance is fraught with danger. Young man, you must be careful."
Xie Weilou took the steamed bun, glanced at Yan Ruyi's ample bosom, and asked with a smile, "Does Your Highness the Princess have any plans?"
Yan Ruyi lifted her chin and said proudly, "According to my experience, developing stealthily and staying low-key is always the right way!"
Everyone wants to be the hunter, so naturally, everyone is prey.
Preparing to be prey from the start, hiding in the shadows, being cautious, and simply striving to survive can avoid many troubles.
"Cowardly!"
Xie Weilou looked at Yan Ruyi with disdain.
"Hmph! As long as I can survive, being cowardly is fine. Dead people don't even get the chance to be cowardly."
Yan Ruyi's face was full of arrogance.
"Heh heh!"
Xie Weilou took large bites of his steamed bun.
The carriage soared into the sky, flying towards the Great Xia Holy Academy...
