"Sister Qian, I'll head back now!" Liu Xiaoyuan put his suitcase into Zhang Qian's room and prepared to leave.
Since Zhang Xiaolian had already said those things, if I stayed in Zhang Qian's room and talked to Zhang Qian for a few more minutes, who knows what kind of things Zhang Xiaolian's foul mouth would say.
"Xiao Yuan, I'm sorry!" Zhang Qian said apologetically.
Liu Xiaoyuan had only meant well by offering to take her back, but he never expected things to turn out this way, which made Zhang Qian feel deeply apologetic.
"Sister Qian, what are you saying? People have mouths, let them talk," Liu Xiaoyuan said.
After a pause, Liu Xiaoyuan continued, "Sister Qian, I think you should rent or buy a place outside. Staying at home will definitely make life difficult."
Liu Xiaoyuan was telling the truth. Judging from Zhang Xiaolian's behavior today, Zhang Qian's life at home will definitely not be easy in the future.
Zhang Qian's younger brother and his wife still live with their parents. If Zhang Xiaolian continues to make sarcastic or mocking remarks, Zhang Qian's parents will have no choice but to accept it.
Therefore, Liu Xiaoyuan still suggested that Zhang Qian rent a house or buy a house outside, so that she could have peace and quiet, and wouldn't hear those messy things or feel agitated.
Zhang Qian knew, of course, that Liu Xiaoyuan was saying this for her own good, so she smiled and nodded, saying, "I understand, I'll consider it."
Zhang Qian escorted Liu Xiaoyuan downstairs. At that moment, Zhang Qian's parents returned from work and naturally learned that their daughter had gotten divorced.
"How could you be so foolish? The child's surname is Lu, why are you fighting for custody? With a child in your arms, I don't know how you'll ever get married!" As soon as Zhang Qian's mother returned, she criticized Zhang Qian for fighting for custody of Jiajia.
Zhang Qian said, "Mom, Jiajia is my flesh and blood. I don't care what her surname is, she is my daughter, and of course I will raise her."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Qian's mother said, "You child, I really don't know what to do with you. Do whatever you want, you'll regret it later."
Liu Xiaoyuan left. On his way back, he knew that Zhang Qian's life would probably be difficult from now on.
When Liu Xiaoyuan arrived home, he was surprised to find that the fox demon clan had come to his door again.
"What are you doing at my house again?" Liu Xiaoyuan asked the fox demons.
The fox demon clan sent two elders this time, both at the Nascent Soul stage. If it came to a fight, Liu Xiaoyuan would definitely be no match for these two women.
However, it seems that this time the fox demon clan is not here to cause trouble, but rather to ask Liu Xiaoyuan for something.
“Mr. Liu, you don’t need to be angry. We’ve come to see you today because we have something to discuss with you,” one of the elders said.
Liu Xiaoyuan looked at the two of them and asked, "What is it? I don't want to hear anything unimportant."
Although the two were Nascent Soul stage cultivators, Liu Xiaoyuan wasn't afraid of them at all. If he showed any fear, they would only become more arrogant.
Only a tough stance will instill fear in the other party. Because Liu Xiaoyuan had previously defeated the fox demon clan's chieftain within their barrier.
Therefore, in the eyes of the fox demon clan, Liu Xiaoyuan was someone who could defeat their clan leader.
“Mr. Liu, the clan leader sent me to ask you whether the conditions you previously proposed to our fox demon clan are still valid. Our fox demon clan is willing to cooperate with you, Mr. Liu,” one of the elders said.
Liu Xiaoyuan was a little confused and asked, "What are the conditions?"
The elder of the fox demon clan said, "It's about Mr. Liu's willingness to help our fox demon clan refine pills in the future."
Upon hearing this, Liu Xiaoyuan burst into laughter. The other party was taken aback, wondering what Liu Xiaoyuan was laughing at. He quickly asked, "Mr. Liu, what are you laughing at? Wasn't this the condition you proposed?"
Liu Xiaoyuan said, "That's right, I made that request. Back then, I told your clan leader that I would do this if she gave me Su Xue, but your clan leader didn't agree."
"Now that I've rescued Su Xue, your clan leader has remembered the condition I made. Don't you think your clan leader's wishful thinking is too clever? Does he think I'm a fool?"
Upon hearing this, the two elders of the fox demon clan also felt that this matter truly treated Liu Xiaoyuan as an idiot.
However, this was something the clan chief had instructed them to do, and they couldn't refuse.
"Mr. Liu, what happened last time was indeed the fault of our fox demon clan. We have come to apologize to you and hope to receive your forgiveness."
Liu Xiaoyuan was somewhat surprised to hear that the other party had apologized to him.
In reality, Liu Xiaoyuan was just putting on a tough stance; at this stage, he simply didn't have the strength to contend with the fox demon clan. So, taking advantage of the fox demon clan's submission, he could conveniently back down.
"Since you've all apologized, I won't hold what happened last time against you," Liu Xiaoyuan said, feigning generosity.
Upon hearing this, the two elders of the fox demon clan smiled. Liu Xiaoyuan's statement that he wouldn't hold the previous matter against them meant that this mission could be completed.
“Mr. Liu, since that’s the case, then what we just said, do you agree?” one of them said with a smile.
Liu Xiaoyuan said, "Gentlemen, you should know that there is no such thing as a free lunch. It's not that I can't help your fox demon clan refine pills, but I can't just do it for nothing."
"Understood, understood!" The two elders of the fox demon clan nodded in unison.
"Mr. Liu, how about this? You help our fox demon clan refine pills, and in the future, whenever our fox demon clan has any good materials, we will give them to you in advance. Is that alright?" the other party asked with a smile.
This is nothing but empty promises; Liu Xiaoyuan isn't stupid, and he certainly won't agree to it.
Damn it, who knows what good stuff your fox demon clan has? Even if you get something good, you can just say you don't have it. What can I do about it?
This kind of condition is like someone telling you, "Don't worry, I'll repay you when I'm rich." But who knows when you'll be rich? If you're never rich, then I'll have to wait my whole life.
Besides, what if you suddenly become rich one day and then claim you're broke? Am I supposed to take you to the bank to check your accounts?
Therefore, the conditions offered by the fox demon clan were far from sincere, completely treating Liu Xiaoyuan like a fool. If Liu Xiaoyuan agreed, he would truly become a fool.
"Gentlemen, do you think I would agree to such conditions?" Liu Xiaoyuan asked the two elders of the fox demon clan.
