109: Why are you so youthful? The whole network is laughing at you

Amidst the stunned gazes of all the native characters and the confusion of all the players present, Yan Xiao completely ignored Murong Shusu's icy cold face.

He suddenly turned around, walked quickly to the table, wrote furiously, then abruptly pulled out a short sword from the table and sharply cut a bloodied gash into his left palm.

A contract, stained red with fresh blood, was slammed onto the table by Yan Xiao with a sneer.

“Don’t think that I, Yan Xiao, care so much about you, this so-called Genius wife. This contract is not for dissolving the engagement, but a letter of divorce from this Young Master, expelling you from the Yan Family! From now on, you, Murong Shusu, will have no further connection with my Yan Family!”

“You… you dare to divorce me?”

Staring at the bloodstained contract on the table, Murong Shusu froze in place, unable to recover from this sudden plot twist.

Wang Huohuo, who was already accustomed to men fawning over her in reality, had transmigrated into the body of Murong Shusu, a noble, astonishingly talented, and exquisitely beautiful Young Miss, after entering the game.

From beginning to end, she had feared that Yan Xiao would cling to her, this Young Miss, but she never expected him to divorce her so decisively!

How dare he!

It wasn’t just Murong Shusu; everyone around them fell silent, shocked by Yan Xiao’s audacious act.

The two Qi Refining Ninth Level eunuchs, native Yan Family members, all stared at Yan Xiao in astonishment, speechless.

And the players, at this moment, were also dumbfounded.

They had considered Yan Xiao acting like a scoundrel and pestering Murong Shusu, Yan Xiao being annoyed and demanding compensation for the annulment, or Yan Xiao using the opportunity to drop the matter.

But they never imagined that Yan Xiao would dare to divorce Murong Shusu!

Like Murong Shusu, their first reaction was: How dare he?

“How dare he? That’s the Young Miss of the Murong Family!”

“Being at Qi Refining Ninth Level at such a young age, she’s already considered the strongest in the Yan Family, and she will only become stronger in the future. How could he be so foolish as to make an enemy of such a person?”

“Even without considering Murong Shusu’s future, the Murong Family is a behemoth!”

“The overlord of the entire Gamma City, with an Immortal Foundation Cultivator overseeing it. Compared to the Yan Family, it’s like a giant whale versus a small shrimp; a single breath could crush the Yan Family instantly!”

“How dare he offend the Murong Family?”

“More than that, Murong Shusu also has the Lan Yun Guard behind her!”

“That’s the direct lineage of the Twelfth Princess, and Murong Shusu is also a direct Disciple of the Twelfth Princess. Offending her is like offending the Princess, which is like offending the Empress, which is like offending the entire Great Jiang Imperial Dynasty… How dare he?”

Everyone discussed animatedly, their gazes towards Yan Xiao filled with incomprehension.

At this moment, the players were unaware that beneath this incomprehension, confusion, and surprise, lay an unexplainable emotion called “envy.”

They envied Yan Xiao for daring to vent his emotions, for daring to do what he wanted.

He didn’t have to consider the intricate web of interests, the powerful figures he might offend, or the troublesome give-and-take of human relationships.

As a young man, he was full of vigor and spirit.

And after this surge of envy, self-consolation and deep mockery followed:

“Just wait and see, Yan Xiao is dead for sure.”

“Murong Shusu will absolutely not let him off, and it might even implicate the Yan Family.”

“Young man, too reckless. He’ll realize how foolish his decision today was eventually!”

When players first entered the game, they were also full of vigor and spirit.

But they quickly realized that the Xuanhuan World was too dark, too oppressive. Powerful Foundation Establishment Cultivators and Golden Core Cultivators firmly controlled everything.

If they wanted to ascend, they had to humble themselves, had to guess the thoughts of those in power, and had to conform to the decisions of those in power.

Therefore, when they saw Yan Xiao’s act of annulment, they subconsciously wanted to belittle and mock him, otherwise, wouldn’t their own compromises become a joke?

“I’m going to upload the video and let everyone see this native!”

“Haha, I bet he’ll be ridiculed across the entire network.”

“He looks like those clueless novice players; he’ll know the consequences after being beaten up a few times by the Xuanhuan World.”

“Hey, you reminded me. I’ll use this plotline for a beginner’s guide; Yan Xiao will be the negative example.”

Everyone discussed animatedly, no longer interested in the outcome of the annulment incident, which would likely just involve some polite words, then Murong Shusu leaving with her people, and Yan Xiao feeling dejected, going alone to the back mountain to pay respects to his mother.

As videos about Yan Xiao were uploaded one by one, Xuanhuan World players across the entire network also saw the annulment incident.

“Holy cow, who is this kid? Is he that arrogant?”

“A native, a Qi Refining Third Level good-for-nothing.”

“A Qi Refining Third Level dares to speak so loudly? Is he not a player?”

“Look at his emotional control and actions; he shouldn’t be a player. If he were a player, he’d probably win an Oscar.”

“On the other hand, that Murong Shusu next to him has a bit of a player vibe; she speaks so directly.”

“Interesting, a native good-for-nothing tells a player with cheats ‘thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river’? And even makes some ‘three-year agreement’?”

“Does he not know that we can use one day as ten years? Three years, if you convert that, is ten thousand years. If Murong Shusu doesn’t undergo Reincarnation, three years should be enough for her to reach Golden Core, which means a thousand years of Lifespan.”

“A thousand years of cultivation, and she’d still be afraid of not being able to defeat a good-for-nothing with stagnant cultivation?”

Players discussed animatedly, almost everyone unfavorable towards Yan Xiao, finding his statements and threats somewhat laughable.

Especially those players who had gained considerable rewards in the Golden Core Tomb event and had achieved a Breakthrough to Immortal Foundation in Green Emerald Heaven, upon seeing the annulment video, their emotions were instantly stirred, and they began to mock him:

“This Yan Xiao is simply a clueless newbie player!”

“Does he think he’s the protagonist of the Xuanhuan World? That he can be arrogant as he pleases?”

“Anyone who has checked even a little bit of guides or watched some videos should know that the Xuanhuan World is a world that values human relationships. Everyone lives humbly and must compromise to continuously advance and achieve Breakthroughs!”

“I’ll say it now, this Yan Xiao will definitely be retaliated against and killed by the Murong Family, or by the Lan Yun Guard!”

“He won’t even live to see three years from now!”

These high-level players made their conclusions, their tones somewhat unnatural.

They had originally achieved a Breakthrough to Immortal Foundation in Green Emerald Heaven, full of vigor and spirit, killing and defeating many sect Disciples, and even making some of the Outstanding Talents retreat. For a time, they truly played the Xuanhuan World like a casual, enjoyable game.

But soon, they saw the Golden Core Cultivators standing in mid-air, felt their powerful, inhuman pressure, and ultimately had to submit and follow their arrangements… If players with cheats were like this, how could a native character with nothing dare to be so carefree, so spirited?

Furthermore, they later heard that Yan Xiao had left the Yan Family and gone alone to the Efeng Mountain Range, claiming to be undergoing training, actually intending to defeat Murong Shusu in three years, which instantly made the players find it even more ridiculous.

“Just an insignificant minor character, no need to pay attention.”

At the Xing Shi Club, members had also watched the video and unanimously felt that Yan Xiao was not worth paying attention to, and there would be no significant plot developments later.

“The Golden Core Tomb event is not over yet, and new Grotto-Heavens will fall later. Our Seiya didn’t get enough benefits in Green Emerald Heaven before, so we absolutely cannot miss the upcoming Grotto-Heavens.”

“Additionally…” Wang Long, lead your team to the Efeng Mountain Range… No, it should be called the Green Emerald Mountains now. Green Emerald Heaven has completely transformed the mountain range, and there are many treasures inside.”

Not only Seiya, but other clubs, other player groups, and even some Loose Cultivators also wanted to get a piece of the action in the Green Emerald Mountains.

At this time, none of them realized that the protagonist of the Green Emerald Mountains would be the native they all looked down upon…
