I Can See Your Combat Power

Chapter 125 - One Hundred Twenty-One: Xu Lao Wins (III)



The sun was three poles high, as Old Xu Yin carefully got up from the horizontal jade body and got dressed to go out.

He had been on the road for a year covering a distance of thirty thousand 11, he didn’t feel too good about it, but once he left Middle Ying City, he learned that the outside world’s brothels were incredibly prosperous.

“Well, I made it here anyway,” Old Xu Yin comforted himself. After all, in his memory, his aunt was exceptionally affectionate towards him, always wanting to hug him and give him a big kiss whenever she got a chance.

Brushing off his clothes, he stepped out the door, leaving behind eight exhausted courtesans.

“Sir, would you like breakfast?” A steward was already waiting at the door, looking at the refreshed young man to ask.

Having served as a steward for twenty years, he had never seen a gentleman who could spend overnight with eight women, and he greatly admired Old Xu Yin for that.

The young man shook his head, tossed a bag of gold, and said indifferently, “Bring my steed. I am leaving.”

“Yes, sir,” the steward nodded and went to give instructions to the guard.

The night Xu Yin arrived in the city, he was not fully aware of the prosperity of Xiling, and even underestimated the shock that a wild beast, which didn’t hide its aura, would cause on this long street.

When a servant brought out the Star Moon Coral Rhino with its beast jade, all the pack beasts within fifty meters knelt on the ground after a mournful cry. The Star Moon Coral Rhino, a wild beast with divine blood in its veins, was not only awe-inducing to other beasts, but also brought a sense of pressure from a higher beast. This pressure was not too obvious when it faced beasts of the same level, but for those pack beasts, it was like the king of beasts appeared, bringing them under its domination.

Old Xu Yin, with his calm demeanor, took the beast jade and hoisted himself onto the beast’s back, asking, “Where is Tang Sen’s residence?”

While he respected his aunt Xu Shuhui, he had a low opinion of Tang Sen who had eloped with her.

For the Xu Clan, who controlled more than a dozen cities, marrying off a daughter wasn’t a complicated task. The only requirement was that the daughter should not be taken too far away. As for which young master the miss of their family fell in love with, their achievements, etc., the family would not interfere.

The Xu Clan were indifferent to political marriages, as they didn’t need to strengthen themselves by marrying off their daughters. In Yuanzhou, the Xu Clan itself represented the strongest force.

So when Xu Shuhui fell in love with Tang Sen, everyone thought that he would marry into Xu Family.

No matter what, Tang Sen was a warrior who had awakened his bloodline, held a reputation for being undefeated among his generation, therefore this union was not a concession.

The elders of Xu Shuhui thought so, but who would have thought that the always obedient and docile Xu Shuhui would insist on marrying far away in Longzhou, which enraged the Xu Clan elders.

“With no dowry, no parade, if you want to marry, go ahead. Let’s see if the so-called warrior will still marry you without the title of Miss Xu!” This was originally meant to be a spur of the moment statement, but Xu Shuhui took it seriously.

She packed two boxes of clothes and jewelry and ran away with Tang Sen. The warrior, hailed as the undefeated in the Mortal Realm, never visited the Xu family from beginning to end.

Fifteen years passed since she left, and his aunt never returned to Yuanzhou even once. Old Xu Yin always felt that Tang Sen had a hand in it.

This time when he came to Xiling, besides exploring the branch bloodline, his more important mission was to check on his aunt’s condition.

If Xu Shuhui was even a slightest bit wronged, Old Xu Yin would use his sword to teach Tang Sen a lesson.

He indeed wanted to see what the so-called undefeated in the Mortal Realm was like.

As for the possibility of Tang Sen breaking through the Fierce Realm, Elder Xu had never considered it. Given his age, Tang Sen was only thirty-six years old this year. It was not as if he could fly into the sky.

Tang Mansion

Xu Shuhui was holding Nuan Nuan in the Spirit Beast Garden, watching the Iron Eating Beast eat iron bamboo.

You are not mistaken. As the most powerful mistress of the Tang Clan, her daily life was just that dull.

She, who had loved spirit beasts and wild beasts since childhood, had finally fulfilled her dream of having a Spirit Beast Garden.

Among these several hundred spirit beasts of varying strength, her favorite was still the Iron Eating Beast.

Fierce in battle, but usually in a blurred and silly state, it fulfilled her girlhood dreams.

Everyone believed that Tang Sen’s amassed wealth was a testament to his abilities, but no one knew that over the years, Tang Sen himself probably didn’t even know what a bar of gold looked like.

The rewards from the Battle Hall missions were directly transferred to Tang Mansion, and all these money were at the discretion of Xu Shuhui. Even now, Tang Sen could tell you precisely how many warriors are in the Battle Hall and their cultivation levels. But as for his family situation, he is mostly ignorant, except for a few Fierce Realm experts that he knows well. As for how many ’ Mortal Realm peaks and how many spirit beasts were in the mansion, he was clueless.

Before her children were born, Xu Shuhui’s greatest joy was to cuddle with him, talking about the changes in the mansion, such as purchasing another store in North City, adding another spirit beast to the family, or bringing back a few pitiful beggars from the street.

But after the children were born, Xu Shuhui’s confidantes became Tang Luo, Tang Xing, and now, Little Nuannuan.

“Nuannuan, don’t underestimate this silly Iron Eating Beast. They are very fierce when they fight,” said Xu Shuhui, holding Little Nuannuan.

“Hmm, hmm.” Tang Nuannuan stared intently, a peeled bamboo shoot in her hand, ready to throw it at any time.

The Iron Eating Beast was round and plump, its body a mix of black and white.

Its round face had two black circles around its eyes. Its chubby limbs and belly looked harmless while it gnawed on a large bamboo shoot.

It is hard to imagine that this Iron Eating Beast, which could sit and kill a Suanni, could look so harmless day-to-day. Xu Shuhui, upon seeing it for the first time, fell in love with it immediately. If the Iron Eating Beast were not so rare, with only three appearing in Xiling over the years, she would have wished the entire Spirit Beast Garden was filled with them. It would be so adorable seeing them round and rolling together.

The bamboo shoot was quickly eaten up. It blinked at the large bamboo shoot in Tang Nuannuan’s hand, waved at her from afar, the pink meatbail in its palm opening and closing, looking adorable.

“Mommy, can I feed it?” Little Nuannuan could not resist after seeing its appearance and expressed her desire to throw herself into its arms.

Just as Xu Shuhui was about to agree, she saw the Iron Eating Beast extend its five sharp claws. The blur in its eyes disappeared, replaced by bloodthirsty red pupils, a battle-ready stance.

Its round and plump body elongated, and the Iron Eating Beast expanded to three times its size. Its black fur retracted into its body, its white fur grew wildly. Its originally soft body swelled until it became angular. Immense power surged throughout its body as it rooted its four limbs on the ground, turning into a silver leopard ready to hunt, exuding a threatening aura.

The Iron Eating Beast turned around, facing the direction of the main entrance of the mansion, emitting a low growl like a thunder chant, laden with warning. At the same time, the other spirit beasts in the Spirit Beast Garden also let out earth-shaking roars. The entire garden filled with fierce energy instantly.

“Mommy, I’m scared.” Upon seeing the adorable Iron Eating Beast transformed into such a fierce animal, Tang Nuannuan pouted and burst into tears, hugging Xu Shuhui’s waist and burying her face in her lap.

“Nuan Nuan is the bravest, it’s not scary, don’t be afraid.” Xu Shuhui comforted Nuan Nuan while holding her, speculating in her heart that there must be a high-level exotic beast outside the mansion. Otherwise, the wild beasts in the Spirit Beast Garden would not exhibit such wariness..
