Let s Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 314: Chapter 314 Minister under the Skirt (36)
 

Xie Shu and Chuzheng hadn’t gone far when the Jun Family Master, leading a search party, quickly found them.

Chuzheng, cradling the unconscious Xie Shu, was sitting atop some ruins.

There were no wind and snow here, just a peaceful and quiet atmosphere.

The Jun Family Master stood below with a stern expression, full of a daunting ferocity.

He had no idea that the distant branch of the family had given birth to twins all those years ago, what a deceit!

This person should have died twenty years ago.

“Hand him over to me,” the Jun Family Master said, “No matter which of you is Jun Chuzheng, from now on, you will be the young lady of the Jun Family.”

With her hand covering Xie Shu’s ears, Chuzheng’s tone was cold and dissatisfied, “You’re disturbing him.”

“…” The fire in the Jun Family Master’s eyes blazed, “I said, hand him over to me!”

“Why should I?” Is the Good Person Card something you can just demand whenever you like? It’s mine!

“Then don’t blame me for being rude.”

Chuzheng looked at him with a disdainful expression, “Defeated general.”

“…”

The Jun Family Master perhaps recalled his previous ordeal.

Even within his own Enclosed Domain, he had found himself in such a wretched state.

“Seize them for me!”

At the Jun Family Master’s command, his men hesitated slightly, for the shock of Xie Shu’s appearance had been too great.

Glaring sharply at them, the Jun Family Master made it clear that hesitation was not an option, and they leapt towards Chuzheng.

Chuzheng set Xie Shu aside against something and with a sweep of her arm, a silver sword materialized in her hand.

–

By the time Patriarch Shen and the Murong Family arrived, Chuzheng had already dealt with most of their people, leaving only a few scattered about the scene.

The Jun Family Master had been sent flying by Chuzheng, her silver sword pressing against his throat, needing only a bit more force to penetrate it.

But then Chuzheng abruptly withdrew her sword, leaped back to Xie Shu’s side, and carried him away.

Without the strength to prevent it, the Jun Family Master could only watch as she disappeared into the ruins.

The Murong Family Master seemed to weigh his options, looking like he wanted to act, yet hesitant after witnessing the recent events.

The Shen Family on the other hand showed no intention of intervening and simply protected their feeble Family Head throughout.

“Father,” Chu Yingyu helped the Jun Family Master to his feet, “Are you all right?”

The Jun Family Master glanced at her, his face still a steel blue without any softening, feeling humiliated just by looking at her.

He bit back the urge to lash out at Chu Yingyu.

“Let’s go back.”

Chu Yingyu pressed her lips together, supporting the Jun Family Master as they left.

“Jun Family Master, go have a look outside, see what Dongyuan is like now.”

The suppressed voice of Shen Jingyun coughing up rang out as the Jun Family Master passed by.

The Jun Family Master snorted coldly, “Mind your own business.”

The Murong Family Master glanced in the direction where Chuzheng had vanished, feeling reluctant to let go but still apprehensive about what had just happened.

Sometimes, a prophecy is the cause.

Because it is prophesied, people try to change it, only to end up realizing the foretold outcome.

The Jun Family Master left Heavy Snow Night Moon; he didn’t plan to give up just yet, but when he stepped out of Heavy Snow Night Moon, passed through the snow-covered Skeleton Forest, and arrived at the nearest town—

A chill rose from his spine.

Someone in the town had raised a large barrier using Xuan Qi, which was now covered in snow and about to collapse.

The entire town was on the verge of being encased in ice.

This…

The snowflakes drifting from the sky were piercingly cold.

As the Jun Family Master stood there in shock, the town’s barrier shattered, and the ice and snow rapidly enveloped everything in sight.

The town’s inhabitants, in their panic, produced Xuan Qi that got frozen in the air, crystallizing into beautiful colors.

This…

It was too eerie.

The Jun Family Master entered the town, finding its people frozen in place.

The expressions of terror on their faces were plainly visible.

There was not a single survivor in this town.

“`

What kind of power is this…

The patriarch of the Murong Family who arrived soon after also saw it.

The Jun Family Master began to doubt whether what he had done was correct, what exactly Heavy Snow Night Moon was, and what kinds of secrets the Xie Clan possessed.

–

What kind of power does the Xie Clan have?

They are not that impressive, just like everyone else in Dongyuan, they are ordinary people with flesh and blood who also need to cultivate.

The one with a different power is Heavy Snow Night Moon.

It is said that Dongyuan was once part of the Lower Realm.

Not the era when one could ascend from the Lower Realm, but even earlier.

At that time, Dongyuan was merely a part of the Lower Realm.

Later, a very powerful individual cultivated into a True God, possessing the ability to create worlds. He separated Dongyuan, establishing a passage.

As for why.

The reasons are lost to antiquity, and even the Xie Family can’t explain it clearly.

Dongyuan became unstable after being separated, and the True God tried many methods, all in vain.

Eventually, he realized that by forcibly separating Dongyuan, he had violated the rules of the world.

But things had already reached this point, and it was impossible to return Dongyuan to its original position.

Within Dongyuan were his offspring, his clansmen… it was his responsibility.

He couldn’t just watch Dongyuan disappear.

In the end, the True God established Heavy Snow Night Moon, investing his entire life’s energy to stabilize Dongyuan with it.

The Xie Clan is tasked with guarding Heavy Snow Night Moon.

The clan leader of the Xie Clan seemed to have long known of this calamity and at the crucial moment, channeled all the power left by the True God into Xie Shu’s body.

Perhaps it was destined by the heavens.

At the time, Xie Shu had no idea what it was, simply thinking it was a method of protection by his clan members, something each one of them possessed.

However, the truth was that it was he alone who could be accepted by this power without being harmed.

Xie Shu, looking at the mural on the wall said, “So they told me not to seek revenge, not to harbor resentment, to live is to hope.” The hope of Dongyuan.

He has returned here only to understand what those words meant.

Previously, he thought it was just his clan wishing for him to live.

Wishing to preserve the bloodline of the Xie Family.

But it was not so…

The power of the True God blessed Dongyuan daily, becoming one with it.

He carried that power with him.

He was Heavy Snow Night Moon.

But he had left.

So initially, Dongyuan experienced three months of heavy snowfall, and then it quietly began to change.

Now that he has returned to Dongyuan, because he brought resentment with him, the changes in Dongyuan have intensified, and are now beginning to spiral out of control.

Chuzheng pulled Xie Shu back and held him.

“I really hate it,” Xie Shu muttered, holding Chuzheng, his voice muffled, “What wrong did Heavy Snow Night Moon commit? Generation after generation, they dutifully guarded this place, guarded Dongyuan.”

“It’s not your fault,” Chuzheng patted his back, “It’s their mistake.”

The Good Person Card can do no wrong.

A thousand faults, a million faults, the Good Person Card can absolutely do no wrong.

If the Good Person Card is at fault, please refer to the two points above.

“Don’t you hate me?”

“Why should I hate you?” How can the Good Person Card hate arbitrarily?

“My birth, it caused the death of your parents,” Xie Shu heard everything Shen Jingyun said earlier, he was unaware of this part of the past before.

His enmity with the Jun Family had been formed so early on.

Yet she was innocent.

Chuzheng, holding Xie Shu’s shoulders, pulled apart the distance between them and leaned in to kiss him.

Her answer.

Xie Shu understood.
