Chapter 1233: How Am I a Player?
After killing Lin Fan and the others, Xiang Shaoyun looted their corpses.
Instead of keeping the spoils for himself, he gave them to Xia Liuhui and Liang Zhuangmin and said, âTake these. Consider this a compensation for your mental distress they had caused.â
The storage rings of several Soul Foundation Realm cultivators amounted to a considerable sum of wealth. One could see just how generous Xiang Shaoyun was for him to give them all to his brothers without a care. When Devil Concubine saw, her eyes flickered.
Xiang Shaoyun was good-looking and domineering. Now that he was demonstrating his generosity, he looked more and more like the perfect man for her. She had been observing him for an entire month, and she was starting to believe that he really was an upright gentleman. Through her observations, she developed a sort of attraction toward him.
She had seen way too many outstanding men, but Xiang Shaoyun was the first to give her this kind of feeling, which was why she had suddenly decided that Xiang Shaoyun was her man. She didnât do that just because he had seen her bathing but because he had defeated her in combat as well. Since her defeat, she had admired his strength.
Even after she tried killing him so many times, he did not take advantage of her moment of danger. Rather, he had saved her and had even agreed to take a stab from her. That was when she started believing he was a decent man.
As she spent time with him, she found that he might seem uncaring, but whenever she was in danger, he would help. Some of the dangers were situations she had intentionally placed herself in, but through that, she managed to ascertain that he really did care about her.
Hence, she was not about to give up on a man like him. Yes, he had a wife and a son. So what?
Xia Liuhui and Liang Zhuangmin did not stand on ceremony and accepted the storage rings. They even shared the spoils with Min Rourou and Wu Zhijun.
âH-how can we do this? Return it to him!â said Min Rourou, embarrassed.
âJust accept it. Consider this a gift from my boss for your first meeting. My boss is rich,â said Xia Liuhui as he stuffed the storage ring into Min Rourouâs hands.
Min Rourou insisted, âNo. There are definitely many treasures inside. I canât take it!â
At this time, Xiang Shaoyun walked over and asked, âLiuhui, who is this?â
âBoss, this is the beautiful and gentle sister-in-law of yours, Min Rourou. Rourou, greet my boss. His name is Xiang Shaoyun. With his care, nobody will dare to bully us!â introduced Xia Liuhui.
Xia Liuhui seemed excessively proud, as though he was flaunting to his boss that he had finally found a beautiful partner.
Min Rourou blushed and said, âH-hello, Xiang Shaoyun. Y-youâre even more remarkable than what Liuhui had said about you. Youâre too handsome and cool.â
Xia Liuhui nearly fainted. He hurriedly hugged Min Rourou and said, âRourou, donât get yourself poisoned by my boss! He has a lot of beauties already. Donât get involved! You can only be mine!â
Xia Liuhui had personally seen how every single woman by Xiang Shaoyunâs side was as beautiful as a fairy. He didnât even dare to doubt Xiang Shaoyunâs attractiveness. He was truly afraid that Min Rourou would also fall for Xiang Shaoyun. If that happened, he would probably cry himself to death.
Xiang Shaoyun rubbed his nose and said, âCalm down, Liuhui. She was only showing me some admiration. Sheâs still loyal to you. In any case, I already have a woman sticking to me.â
He had no choice but to use Devil Concubine as a shield. He did not want to see his brotherâs woman fall for him, which wouldnât be good. Devil Concubine played along and stepped forth to hug Xiang Shaoyunâs arm, demonstrating her ownership over him.
Xiang Shaoyun rubbed his nose and transmitted to her, âCan you not be so blunt?â
âNo, you said it yourself. Iâm your woman,â said Devil Concubine as her lips curled into a smile. She wasnât transmitting her voice. Everyone heard her clearly.
Xia Liuhui hurriedly said, âRourou, see, the sister-in-law is here. Donât even think about my boss anymore.â
Min Rourou blushed and said, âI-I never said I liked him. I-I only admire him. What nonsense are you talking about!â
âOnly admiration?â Xia Liuhui asked solemnly.
âOf course! Havenât you always bragged about how amazing your boss is? After meeting him, I found that he is even better than you have described. I couldnât help but voice my praise for him,â explained Min Rourou shyly.
âGood, thatâs good. My boss is too much of a player. He wonât be a good match for you. Only a loyal lover like me is suited for you,â said Xia Liuhui.
Xiang Shaoyun cursed inwardly, How am I a player?
âShaoyun, after several years, you have grown stronger yet again. Looks like there is no way we can catch up to you anymore,â said Liang Zhuangmin with a sigh.
He had been placing a lot of effort into cultivating and had also obtained some decent fortuitous encounters. However, he was still a seventh-stage Dragon Ascension Realm expert. His cultivation was lower than Xia Liuhui and an entire realm lower than Wu Zhijun. Witnessing Xiang Shaoyunâs strength dealt him an even bigger blow.
However, he wasnât someone whose heart would waver so easily. He continued encouraging himself, telling himself that he would definitely catch up to them one day.
âDonât say that, big brother. You have been growing quickly, too. It wonât be long before you become even stronger,â said Xiang Shaoyun. He looked at Wu Zhijun and said, âLong time, sister-in-law. You have become prettier. No wonder my big brother can never forget you.â
Wu Zhijun smiled and said, âYou sure have your way with words. No wonder even Devil Concubine has fallen for you.â
Xiang Shaoyun felt somewhat awkward. Devil Concubineâs infatuation with him did not seem related to words.
âYes, heâs a smooth talker. I really like him,â agreed Devil Concubine bluntly.
Xiang Shaoyun almost fainted. He could swear that he had not exchanged more than 10 words with her during the month he spent with her. How was he suddenly a smooth talker?
âSister, youâre so beautiful. You must have a lot of pursuers,â said Min Rourou curiously.
She was right. Devil Concubine was too beautiful. She was comparable with Yu Caidie in terms of beauty. Furthermore, the cold way she carried herself made her look like a domineering queen, a woman that proved fatal to many men. Many men would love to conquer a woman like her since it would grant them an immense sense of accomplishment.
Devil Concubine replied nonchalantly, âI donât know. He will be my only man.â
Xia Liuhui and Liang Zhuangmin were filled with reverence toward Xiang Shaoyun when they heard her. Xiang Shaoyun was probably the only man that could make her say something like that.
