52: Chapter 52 Going to the Xiahou Family

In this otherworld, such grievances and entanglements were commonplace.

Three days later, Xiang Tian had properly arranged for the personnel.

He buried the remains of the entire Duanmu Family and sealed off the entire Duanmu residence to prevent any malevolent energy from leaking out.

With all matters settled, the group returned to Xiahou Peak.

Upon landing, Ouyang Yuexi eagerly said, "Cousin, your wife has suffered such a calamity of clan extermination; as her husband, you must keep the matter of revenge in your heart."

"Yuexi, if you have something to say, feel free to speak directly." Xiang Tian raised an eyebrow, having long since seen through her intentions.

"If you want to rapidly improve your strength and take revenge, you must come back to the Ouyang Family with me!" Ouyang Yuexi said bluntly, "The resources and foundation of my Ouyang Family are by no means comparable to this Haotian Sect."

"Cousin, I will go to the Ouyang Family." Xiang Tian pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement.

"It is for the best that you can see reason, Cousin!" Ouyang Yuexi's eyes lit up, and her face revealed a look of joy.

"Cousin, I still have some matters to settle here. You should leave for now, and I will set off in a few days." Xiang Tian waved his hand.

At this moment, he was holding Xiahou Yu with his left arm and leading Duanmu Hongdie with his right hand; it was a time of deep affection.

"That won't do; I must follow you!" Ouyang Yuexi's attitude was resolute.

Xiang Tian was speechless; why was this cousin so lacking in tact?

He said helplessly, "Cousin, you should know what I am going to do next, right?"

"You go about your business; I will just stay on this mountain peak and will absolutely not disturb you." As soon as she finished speaking, Ouyang Yuexi's figure flashed and she disappeared from the spot.

Xiang Tian's mouth twitched, and he secretly muttered to himself: You are a Martial Emperor Realm expert; if you really wanted to spy, could I stop you?

Simply deciding not to dwell on it anymore, he turned to the two women and smiled, "Since that's the case, I will properly spend a few days with you." After speaking, he led the two of them, walking side by side, toward the depths of the courtyard.

Two days later, Xiang Tian accompanied Xiahou Yu back to the Xiahou Family to visit her relatives.

In the past, he feared being surrounded and annihilated by the major powers. Now that those threats had long since vanished like smoke, there was naturally no need to hide anything anymore.

Just as they arrived in front of the Xiahou Family, the voice of Ouyang Yuexi came from behind: "Cousin, wait for me!"

Xiang Tian turned around and saw her following closely behind, immediately feeling a headache: "Yuexi, I am accompanying Xiaoyu back to her maiden home; why are you following us?"

"Cousin, you do your thing; I absolutely won't hinder you." Ouyang Yuexi looked perfectly justified.

Xiang Tian really wanted to spank her little bottom, but he couldn't beat this Martial Emperor Realm cousin. He could only grit his teeth and say, "Suit yourself."

The two ignored her and stepped into the Xiahou Family side by side. When the servants in the mansion saw Xiahou Yu, they all respectfully bowed: "Second Young Miss!"

Xiahou Yu smiled and nodded, leading Xiang Tian toward the depths of the mansion. Passing through several courtyards, a luxurious and elegant compound came into view, with pleasant scenery.

"Mother!" Just as she entered the courtyard gate, Xiahou Yu saw a graceful young matron standing in the yard. She immediately ran over and threw herself into her arms.

"Xiaoyu, you have finally returned!" Madam Xiahou gently patted her daughter's back, her gaze turning to Xiang Tian, "That brat Xiang Tian, he hasn't bullied you, has he?"

"Mother, how could he dare to bully me? If he dared, once Xiao Yi grows up, he definitely won't let him off!" Xiahou Yu said coquettishly.

"Mother-in-Law." Xiang Tian stepped forward. He cupped his hands in a salute, his attitude respectful.

"Hmph! You have quite the ability!" Madam Xiahou's face immediately darkened, "You had a betrothal with Xiaoyun, and then turned around and had a child with Xiaoyu; you brat really know how to enjoy the blessings of multiple wives!"

Her two daughters had, in the end, both ended up with this brat.

"Mother-in-Law, this matter was not what I wished for, but I will definitely take responsibility for my actions, take good care of Xiaoyu, and never let her suffer the slightest grievance." Xiang Tian said sincerely.

"Brat, I used to think you were quite honest and dutiful; I didn't expect you to be able to do such a thing!" Madam Xiahou glared at him, but her tone softened a bit, "If it weren't for the fact that I am good sisters with your mother and know you inside and out, I would have suspected you were a lecher."

Upon hearing this, Xiang Tian almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

"Mother, what are you saying!" Xiahou Yu rolled her eyes, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. She knew well that her mother was always easily satisfied. Back in the day, her father had only used ten thousand Spirit Stones to marry her mother home.

"Xiaoyu, Mother was just joking!" Madam Xiahou smiled and rubbed her daughter's hair. Her gaze toward Xiang Tian was now much gentler, "I also watched Xiang Tian grow up; now that he can Cultivate and has such ability, he is indeed worthy of my Xiaoyu."

"Many thanks to Mother-in-Law for your blessing!" Xiang Tian cupped his hands and saluted again, a heavy stone in his heart finally landing; this hurdle had finally been passed.

"Xiang Tian, you stinky brat, you finally decided to come!" Just at this moment, a vigorous, angry shout rang out, and a middle-aged man dressed in brocade robes walked over furiously; it was none other than the Patriarch Xiahou.

"Father!" Xiahou Yu quickly stepped forward and grabbed his arm, trying to ease the atmosphere.

Xiang Tian took a deep breath; this father-in-Law had always been dignified and was not so easy to deal with. After all, he was the head of a Family, so his temper was naturally not small.

"Xiaoyu, you stand aside first." Patriarch Xiahou waved his hand, and the Aura on his body suddenly climbed, an oppressive force of the Supernatural Realm rushing toward him.

Xiang Tian raised an eyebrow, feeling somewhat surprised in his heart. This father-in-Law had actually broken through to the Supernatural Realm!

The Xiang Family and the Xiahou Family were both bottom-tier Families, primarily focused on business, and their cultivation was always weak; to be able to reach the Supernatural Realm was already extremely difficult.

"Congratulations to Father-in-Law for advancing to the Supernatural Realm!" Xiang Tian was the first to speak and offer congratulations.

"Spare me that!" Patriarch Xiahou snorted coldly, "Brat, I want to see exactly how much ability you have to dare to abduct my two daughters!"

He threw a punch, the wind of the fist whistling. "Bang!" There were no fancy Moves, only the most direct collision of fists.

Patriarch Xiahou only felt a massive force coming toward him, and his figure uncontrollably retreated several steps before barely stabilizing his stance. In contrast, Xiang Tian remained standing in place, motionless.

Of course, Xiang Tian had not used his full strength. How could he use his full power against his own father-in-Law?

"Brat, you are indeed as the rumors say, having become a Prodigy-level Genius!" Patriarch Xiahou withdrew his hand.

"Father-in-Law is too kind; I just obtained some Opportunities." Xiang Tian said modestly.

"Stop being so modest!" Patriarch Xiahou waved his hand, "Those glorious deeds of yours at the Haotian Sect have spread throughout the entire town; do you think I don't know?"

"How can those be considered glorious deeds." Xiang Tian scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Alright, enough nonsense." Patriarch Xiahou's expression straightened, "Since what is done is done, you can be considered to have passed my test. In the future, live a good life with Xiaoyu; if you dare to fail her, I will not spare you!"

Xiang Tian's heart warmed; he hadn't expected the father-in-Law who was hardest to deal with to compromise just like that.

He solemnly promised: "Rest assured, Father-in-Law, I will definitely treat Xiaoyu well; in this life, I will never fail her."

"Hm!" Patriarch Xiahou nodded with satisfaction, took a palm-sized ball from his Storage Pouch, and handed it over, "Take this thing."

The ball was covered in a faint white frost, emitting piercing cold air, and felt icy to the touch.

"Father-in-Law, what is this?" Xiang Tian curiously took it and examined it carefully.

"I am not very clear either; perhaps my level is not high enough to penetrate the mysteries within." Patriarch Xiahou shook his head, "The secret of this ball shall be left for you to explore yourself."

"Many thanks, Father-in-Law!" Xiang Tian quickly thanked him and put the ball into his Storage Pouch.

As soon as he put it away, the System's voice rang in his mind. [Host, this ball is extraordinary! It contains a trace of pure Law of Ice!]

"Hm? Law? What use is it?" Xiang Tian's heart stirred, and he quickly asked.

[It has great uses! The temperature of this Law of Ice can drop to absolute zero, its lethality is infinite, and even if it is an Emperor-level expert, if they are enveloped by this cold air, their movements will be greatly constrained!]

"Damn, it's that strong?" Xiang Tian was ecstatic; he didn't expect to have obtained such a treasure.

"Then can I use it now? How should I use it?"

[Host, with your current strength, it is still difficult to unleash its full power.] The System poured a bucket of cold water on him.

"Then isn't it useless?" Xiang Tian was immediately deflated.

[Not so, not so!] [Although you cannot unleash its full power, it is more than enough to use for slowing down an enemy's movement speed!]

"Alright, better than nothing." Xiang Tian pouted.

[This treasure has many other wonderful uses; you will naturally know after your strength becomes stronger. It is a waste of breath to tell you now!]

"System, I am increasingly feeling like you are a person." A wicked smile curled on the corner of Xiang Tian's mouth. "Sooner or later, I will stand behind you, grab your two ponytails with my hands, you know..."
