After the Skyfall

Chapter 652: Xiu Xiang Returns Home
Li Yi led everyone back to the home of Shang Lord Xiu Xiang.

Although Xiu Xiang had not returned home yet, he felt that it was not a good idea for him to live here for a long time with this group of people. He decided to buy a house in Beihuang City in the next two days to use as his place to stay.

In the future, when you travel back and forth across boundaries to this world, you won’t be homeless.

soon.

He returned to his small courtyard, lit a bonfire, set up a big pot, took out the wine, and began to cook the meat of the exotic beasts. The meat of the exotic beasts in this world contained the essence of vigorous qi and blood. It did not need any seasoning, just a little salt and it was very delicious.

As the sky gradually darkened.

Everyone sat around the campfire, eating meat and drinking wine.

Especially Long Yu, he had been locked in the cage for too long, and the slave owner did not dare to feed him too much, lest he recover his strength, break free from the restraints and escape from the cage, so he was the hungriest, and he could not wait to pick up a big piece and eat it before the meat was fully cooked.

The high priest Dou Kun was very old, but he had a big appetite. He ate meat and drank wine like a strong young man, with a look of satisfaction on his old face.

"It's been a long time since I've eaten such good meat and drunk such delicious wine." High Priest Dou Kun said with emotion: "I thought it would be difficult for me to have a full meal before I died, but I didn't expect that my wish would come true today."

Li Yi held a bowl of wine and said with a smile: "Old priest, you will be able to drink good wine and eat good meat every day in the future, and you will no longer suffer from hunger. I can promise you."

He now has nearly 80,000 gold in his hands, so he has the confidence to say such words.

"Haha, you are indeed different from other masters. No master is willing to make such a promise to a slave who has never served him. You should be the first one." The high priest Dou Kun said with a smile, and his old voice seemed full of energy at this moment.

Li Yi said: "You are an old man, and in my tribe, it is normal to support an old man."

"Lord, your tribe must be very powerful and wealthy." The high priest Dou Kun said, "In most tribes, once food is scarce, the elderly are the ones who should be sacrificed the most, because they can neither hunt nor protect the tribe, and they often get sick, consuming the precious herbs in the tribe. The next people who should be sacrificed are women and children. Although women and children represent the future, if the tribe cannot maintain its present survival, then there will be no future."

Li Yi drank the wine in the bowl and said with a smile: "Old priest, the situation you described will never happen to me. I will not sacrifice the elderly and children."

"You are indeed a merciful ruler. Come, everyone, let's celebrate our merciful ruler." Upon hearing this, the high priest Dou Kun smiled. He raised his wine bowl high and spoke to everyone.

"Congratulations to the Lord." Long Yu said in a deep voice. He raised his sturdy arms covered with scales and celebrated sincerely.

“Congratulations to the Lord.”

Shanguo also raised her wine bowl. She looked at Li Yi sitting by the campfire with a dazed expression, because after she let go of her hatred, she realized that Li Yi was indeed a person worth following.

E Ji and Su Ji sat close to Li Yi. They smiled sweetly and filled Li Yi's bowl with wine.

Li Yi smiled again and raised his wine bowl to drink with them.

“Lord, please allow us to dance for you.”

Afterwards, the two beauties, E-ji and Su-ji, said respectfully that they wanted to add some joy to today's banquet, and also hoped that their dance would be liked by Li Yi.

"Okay." Li Yi nodded in agreement.

As the two beauties danced around the campfire, Li Yi also got to see the dancing styles of this world.

Ancient and elegant, it seems as if the ancestors on this land are worshipping a great god, or as if a lively girl is expressing her love. Although Li Yi does not understand dance, he can feel the meaning behind it.

No matter which world it is, different languages, different actions, but the meaning expressed is the same.

Li Yi admired the graceful dance while laughing, drinking and eating meat. He felt an indescribable feeling after staying in this wild world for a long time, as if many shackles had been removed, and some of the most instinctive things in his life blood began to gradually emerge.

Perhaps this is the charm of the world.

There is a good side and a bad side.

This simple banquet lasted until late at night. Everyone was full and satisfied, and several people were even drunk. However, everyone was in a good mood because they were no longer slaves to be bought and sold in the slave market, but had a new life and a new beginning.

Although today is just a simple acquaintance, our future destinies are already tied together and we will live together for a long time.

Li Yi asked everyone to go and rest. Fortunately, there were enough rooms in this separate courtyard to accommodate these people.

He did not sleep, but just raised a auspicious cloud, sat on the roof, and practiced the method of gathering energy from heaven and earth, collecting the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and continuing his practice for the day.

This land is free from pollution and erosion.

The night sky is brilliant and bright, with countless stars filling the sky and countless starlight falling. The majestic energy of the universe gathers and turns into five-colored air that envelopes Li Yi's body. Every breath he takes seems to be in tune with the pulse of this world.

Although the strange phenomena continued, his breath seemed to have disappeared, as if it had merged into nature. Li Yi's practice lasted until the next morning. Although it was not long, there was always progress. As long as he persisted in accumulating, he believed that it would not take long for him to complete the transformation, reach the peak of the Five Qi Realm, and fill the sixty acupoints with divine blood.

But this day.

An angry voice suddenly sounded from the door.

"Lie Hou, you bastard, you actually took advantage of my absence to insult my distinguished guest. I will kill you and hang your head at the door of my house. I will use your blood to wash away the humiliation you have brought upon me."

At this moment, Lord Shang Xiuxiang returned to Beihuang City.

But he had received the news before he came and knew what had happened here, but this did not affect his anger.

Although Dayi was not injured in the attack and even defeated the opponent's divine blood warrior, the other merchant dared to commit the crime while Xiuxiang was not at home, which was undoubtedly a severe humiliation to him.

If Xiu Xiang doesn't find a way to take revenge, he will be ridiculed as a merchant in the future. People will think he is weak and incompetent. He can't even protect the distinguished guests at home. Who would be willing to do business with such a person?
"Master, you are finally back, that's great."

"Meet the master."

Xiu Xiang's voice immediately attracted the servants, guards, and beautiful girls in the house to come out. At this moment, even E Ji and Su Ji in Li Yi's bedroom quickly got up and hurried out of the yard.

After all, E'ji and Su'ji are still elephant cultivators, so they naturally have to abide by the rules.

Xiu Xiang looked at everyone in the house. His eyes were gloomy because many people were missing.

One of his favorite beauties died, his loyal old servant was gone, and even several of his retainers disappeared. He knew that these people did not run away or betray him, but died that night.

Although many people committed suicide because they felt humiliated for being unable to protect the guests, the hatred was naturally attributed to the marquises.

However, the home of the nearby merchant lord Liehou has become a ruin, and there is no plan to rebuild it. The whole family is no longer here. They may have left Beihuang City to avoid me, or they may have just moved to a new residence.

No matter what, Xiu Xiang vowed to find the marquis.

But as a qualified businessman, Xiu Xiang quickly regained his senses after a brief moment of anger, because he saw two beautiful girls with disheveled hair and untidy clothes rushing towards him from the east yard.

He remembered that these were the most beautiful girls in his family, one was named E and the other was named Su.

He bought these two beauties a long time ago but never used them because they were prepared for Dayi. Although he didn't know when Dayi would return to Beihuang City, as a merchant, he had to prepare some good things to entertain his distinguished guests.

So, when Xiu Xiang saw E Ji and Su Ji walking out of the yard where Dayi lived, he suddenly felt much better.

Because Dayi accepted the gift he prepared for him and did not leave him in anger because of the last attack.

This is great news.

But Xiu Xiang still pretended to be angry and said, "Eji, Suji, you should be serving our distinguished guests at this hour instead of running out as soon as you hear the noise. Have you forgotten what I always told you?"

Eji and Suji were so frightened that they quickly knelt on the ground, too nervous to speak.

However, Xiu Xiang did not really mean to punish them, but instead said: "In order to prevent this from happening again, from today on, I will send you to Dayi and let you serve him for the rest of your lives. From now on, your lives belong to Dayi, so accept Dayi as your master."

He looked disgusted and wanted to drive me away.

When E-ji and Su-ji heard this, their originally nervous mood suddenly turned into surprise.

Although Dayi said that he would ask the merchant for the two of them, when this moment came, they felt that their destinies were shining.

But at this moment.

A steady sound of footsteps was heard.

Then, a young man wearing red-feathered purple-gold armor, carrying a sacred wood bow on his back, holding the aura of a dragon and a tiger, and covered in lightning and thunder, strode over.

He is like a young god. Although he is not yet grown up, his potential as a god has been revealed.

Such an extraordinary aura made Xiu Xiang, the merchant leader, stare in amazement.

He had just met Dayi last year. At that time, he was just an ordinary divine blood warrior. Nanshanbo had seen his extraordinary potential. Now, he had to admit that Nanshanbo's judgment was correct.
