Halfway up the mountain, Xie Daoyun was complaining to Zu An about her younger brother's womanizing ways. Pointing to the exotic flowers and fruits on the table, she said, "Look at all this food, it was all given to us by the female disciples of the academy. Not only that, but also the clothes and other things we use, it was all given to us by those women."
Zuan chuckled: "Isn't this better? It's always better to have someone give you something than no one."
These fruits are quite precious; those female students are really generous.
"That's right, it proves that I'm very charming." Hearing someone back him up, Xie Xiu immediately became smug.
"Do you think people are nice to you for no reason? They're just after your body," Xie Daoyun said angrily.
Xie Xiu muttered, "Who's greedy for whom is still uncertain, but I'm not losing out anyway."
Enraged, Xie Daoyun reached out and pinched his ear: "Our Xie family has always been very strict in its family discipline and never takes advantage of others. How did we raise such a wretch as you?"
“I treat every relationship seriously. It’s all consensual, so how can it be called taking advantage of someone?” Xie Xiu said indignantly, as if her love had been insulted.
"Then why did you abandon her?" Xie Daoyun was most resentful about this.
"I'm quite persistent in love. If I don't love someone anymore, I won't stop deceiving them. What's wrong with that?" Xie Xiu said innocently.
Zuan could tell he wasn't making excuses; that's what he truly believed. It was just that his approach was a bit... well, you know. Zuan wanted to say something to him, but then he thought about how he was a jerk himself and had no right to criticize him...
"Not a delay? That's just you being fickle!" As a woman, Xie Daoyun was quite sensitive to this, and she was so angry that she wanted to teach her younger brother a lesson.
It took Zu An a lot of effort to calm the siblings down. Xie Daoyun was a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Brother Zu."
"There's nothing to laugh about. On the contrary, it reminds me of all that happened in Brightmoon City, giving me a unique sense of familiarity with my hometown," Zu An said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Xie Xiu immediately perked up. Indeed, men understand men best.
After chatting for a while, Xie Xiu became curious about what had happened on the demon race's side: "Brother Zu, I heard you made great contributions to the demon race. Tell us what it's like there. Do they really eat people?"
Xie Daoyun was also full of curiosity. She had only learned about the relevant knowledge from books since she was a child, and they had never been to the demon race before.
Zuan chuckled wryly: "They're not that scary..."
So he told them about the customs and traditions of the demon race, which amazed the siblings.
"Oh, right, I also brought you a special gift this time, it should suit you very well." As he spoke, Zu'an took out the Strange Wood Demon Sand from the Glazed Pearl, which he had obtained by gambling on stones in the Jade Garden of the Demon Clan's Royal Court.
"Strange Wood and Demon Sand?" Before Zu An could even introduce it, Xie Daoyun recognized the item and trembled with excitement. "This item can be used to draw legendary forbidden spell runes and formations. Even my teacher only used it once and now he doesn't have it anymore. He has been searching for it for so many years but has not been able to find it."
While this item is precious to other cultivators, its usefulness is not that great.
But for those who cultivate talismans, the strange wood and demonic sand can be considered divine objects, so Xie Daoyun found it hard to believe that all of this was real.
"Brother Zu, this is too precious, I can't accept it." After her initial excitement, Xie Daoyun quickly realized her mistake and waved her hand.
Zuan pulled her hand and handed her the Qimu Demon Sand again: "If it weren't for the protective talisman you gave me back then, I probably would have lost my life. Compared to the life-saving grace, what is a mere Qimu Demon Sand?"
When he grabbed her hand, Xie Daoyun instinctively tried to pull away, but didn't. She couldn't struggle any longer, and her quiet, pretty face immediately turned visibly red: "My protective talisman isn't actually that magical... then thank you, Brother Zu."
Seeing that she accepted it, Zu'an finally let go of her hand with satisfaction.
Xie Daoyun pursed her lips, her expression a complex mix of joy and sorrow.
At this moment, Xie Xiu's sarcastic voice suddenly rang out: "Who was it that just said that people give gifts because they want the other person's body?"
"You're going to die!" Xie Daoyun was immediately ashamed and ran after him to beat him up.
While dodging, Xie Xiu smiled and reached out to Zu An: "Brother Zu, where's my gift?"
Zuan glanced at the mountain of gifts beside him and said with a smile, "Anyway, so many women are already vying to give you gifts, so I don't need to bother."
Xie Xiu immediately shouted, "Brother Zu, you've forgotten your friend for the sake of beauty!"
Zu An, without saying a word, stuck out his foot and tripped him. Xie Xiu immediately lost his balance and fell to the ground. He was caught by Xie Daoyun and then given a good beating.
The room was instantly filled with a joyful atmosphere.
"What are you chatting about so happily?" A curious voice came from behind. It was Chu Chuyan who had returned.
Xie Daoyun, who was originally beating her younger brother, immediately stopped and returned to her former ladylike demeanor: "It's just a playful fight between siblings. I'm sorry to have made Miss Chu laugh."
Xie Xiu couldn't help but exclaim, "Miss Chu, what did you eat to grow up like this? You're becoming more and more ethereal!"
Xie Daoyun glared at her younger brother fiercely: "Don't talk nonsense."
She knew her brother's playboy nature and was afraid he would set his sights on Chu Chuyan.
Xie Xiu curled his lip. He was a very clear-headed person. Although women like Chu Chuyan were beautiful, they were too outstanding. If such outstanding women dared to play the game of breaking up without feelings, they wouldn't even know how they died. He wouldn't touch women of that caliber, and he would save himself a lot of trouble in this life.
Everyone else envies the stunningly beautiful women around Zaun, but only he feels sorry for Zaun, who has far too few female companions. Such a standard means that Zaun has far fewer female companions than he does.
