The veins on the back of his hand were obvious, like a person who was so angry that he was about to do something without considering the consequences. Xie Helin's tightly locked eyes trembled slightly, and his palm, since it was suspended in the air, could not move forward at all.

"Don't touch him."

A male voice came when the heavy rain broke through a crack and went straight into people's ears.

Xie Helin's arm was suspended in the air, and the steel claws that gently held it were like a guillotine, which could cut it off as long as he made a rash move. Therefore, Xie Helin stood there, really motionless. He looked at the birdman in front of him, who had a resolute face and long hair dancing wildly in the air with the wind. And the pair of sharp eyes that could cut the air surprised Xie Helin.

He had never seen such a person before. His upper body was muscular and his voice was no different from that of a human. The steel claws that touched his arm seemed to be able to penetrate his arm if they went a little deeper. They were so sharp that there was no room for doubt.

Xie Helin wanted to say something, otherwise this action would be too embarrassing. Because of the complete five elements in Ju Mang's body, Xie Helin's vitality was suppressed. Suddenly, heavy rain washed over him, and he once again ended up like a drowned chicken. The sound of heavy rain in his ears made Xie Helin feel a little disgusted.

"I didn't expect your level to be so high."

"We are not comparable to ordinary wild beasts. Let's go back and read history carefully!"

After Xia Xiao took a few steps, Ju Mang released his claws. Xie Helin was finally able to move his arm, but he still stopped for a few seconds before slowly letting it go.

"Xie Helin, if my second sister is wronged by you in the South Country, that sword will stab her without hesitation."

Xia Xiao walked in the water on the ground, but the sound lingered in Xie Helin's ears forever. The chill in the voice frightened him and even made him tremble all over.

"cough!"

A mouthful of blood spurted out, Xie Helin's eyes were filled with astonishment. Is this... the person who came from afar?

Xia Xiao was followed by three contracted beasts. Ju Mang was more than two meters tall, and his body was not wet by any raindrops. Huo Dou was on fire, and the raindrops fell on him, like water drops falling into a furnace, and quickly evaporated into steam with a sizzling sound. Xiao Yu walked at the back. She was a little scared by so many people's gazes. Even her dark blue hair fluttering in the air, like the blue sky at night, became the reason for her shyness.

One person and three beasts walked for dozens of meters, and then Xia Xiao formed a seal, and they disappeared one by one behind him. But they will never forget the scene of walking in the rain, because just now there was a vitality covering the observation platform, as if to destroy it, and everyone in it would die under the sharp knife. It was an invisible threat, but what King Nan remembered most deeply was Xia Xiao's eyes.

Xia Xiao's eyes were indifferent, which was his signature look, as if he didn't care about anything. And this look didn't seem to take Xie Helin seriously, or even Nan Guo seriously.

Whenever the Southern King thought of this look, he would feel inferior. His Southern Kingdom's status in the Great Wilderness was not high, but it had not reached this point, right? Facts have proved that the Southern Kingdom has indeed reached that point. Now is the time when Great Xia is in danger, but they are not righteous, which makes their already low status drop a few points.

Today's events spread throughout Yu Valley within two hours, and also spread to Daxia, and even to Zhenxun, and reached the ears of Si Yi in the palace.

The young King Xia was holding Xia Jinghong's letter and laughing, and the wedding was about to begin. One morning, Xia Wan was bathing, and when she came out of the water, she brought some water and spilled it on the ground. The maidservant wiped her body with her eyes lowered, while Xiao Rong waited silently outside the screen. This mother was dressed gorgeously today, but she was not in a good mood.

Seeing Xia Wan coming out, Xiao Rong smiled instinctively and said softly:

"Mother will dress you up, and you will be the most beautiful bride."

Xia Wan grabbed her mother's hand. This weathered hand had held her for a long time. But now, it was finally over. From today on, although Xia Wan was still her beloved daughter, the one who would accompany her from now on would no longer be Xiao Rong.

There were many years when Xia Jinghong and Xia Xu were away, and Xia Xiao was still insane. Therefore, the two of them stayed together all day long. Xia Wan read books, while Xiao Rong embroidered and watered flowers. Xia Wan danced with swords, while Xiao Rong watched quietly. The Xia Mansion was not big, and the mother and daughter supported it. However, from now on, no one would count accounts with Xiao Rong at night, and no one would accompany her to play with flowers and snow.

Before she even put on her makeup, Xiao Rong's eyes were wet. Seeing this, Xia Wan felt sad and sat on a chair to comb her hair as if it were a mirror.

"Mom, you must take good care of yourself when I'm not around."

After sobbing a few times, Xiao Rong took the wooden comb from Xia Wan's hand, her voice soft and full of doting.

"You must not be wronged, otherwise mother will be distressed."

The extremely long black hair was separated in the wooden comb, and some of them were difficult to comb down halfway. Xiao Rong was afraid that Wan'er would feel pain, so she loosened her hair and combed it down bit by bit. Xia Wan said it was okay and it didn't hurt, but as a mother, who would use such a heavy hand? The black hair that was previously tangled was straightened, and Xiao Rong's knot was untied. While combing, she recalled the past. When she smiled with tears in her eyes, Xia Wan saw it in the mirror and asked her mother what she remembered.

This kind of long farewell can best remind people of childhood or things from a long time ago. What Xiao Rong was talking about at this time was all about that. There were many things that Xia Wan didn't know at all, so she was very curious and listened with relish, just like when she was a child, pestering Xiao Rong to tell her bedtime stories.

"When we were little, you insisted on cooking for me, but you didn't want anyone to help you, so you ran to the kitchen by yourself and burned your hands. At that time, you covered your blistered hands and cried miserably. I thought Xu'er was bullying you, so I yelled at him and scared him so much that he dared not move. But your big brother, although he loved to tease you, cherished you the most. During that time, he rushed to feed you every day, touching each bite with his lips, and only gave you food when it was no longer hot."

"That was when you were three years old. When you were two years older, you didn't like running around so much, and you stopped hiding in the bushes in the yard. Instead, you started reading books. You didn't know many words at the time, so you pulled the old housekeeper to ask one by one. The old housekeeper accompanied you to read during the day, and copied the account books with sleepy eyes at night. The next day, he did the same thing. He doted on you. He would not let anyone accompany you for him, saying that it was an honor for such a lovely second lady to be able to participate in your growth process."

"When Xiao'er grew up a little and was found to be an idiot, you really became tired. You were so small at that time, but you had to help me with everything. It was also during that time that you grew up and became a graceful young lady. You gradually became worried, but you didn't say it. Mother knows that you are sensible, but the more sensible you are, the more sorry I feel for you. In the past, because of Xiao'er, I sometimes neglected you and Xu'er."

Xiao Rong stopped combing her hair. She had finished. Looking at the young and beautiful Wan'er in the mirror, Xiao Rong narrowed her eyes and choked up and said:

"Wan'er, I'm sorry. It's my mother who is sorry for you. I should have spent more time with you when you were little. I regret it so much now. I really want to hold you to sleep and let you hold my hand and sing to me, but you have grown up and got married so quickly. It really is just a blink of an eye. By the time I react, you are leaving me."

It's hard to recall the dusty memories, but once you push open the door, it makes you burst into tears. Xia Xiao had already cried a lot, Xia Wan stood up and hugged him, although she was also crying, she patted her back like her mother comforted her when she was a child.

"Don't cry, don't cry. Wan'er will be back soon."

Xiao Rong's crying attracted three men to come in. Seeing this scene, they sighed deeply, but were helpless.

Xia Xiao felt the most sorry for his second sister, who had given him her most carefree time. Xia Xiao had been suffering from dementia for so many years, and his second sister had taken care of him the most. She always spoke to him in a gentle voice. No matter what Xia Xiao did, she was always very gentle, which was why he was so ruthless to Xie Helin yesterday.

Xiao Rong and Xia Wan wiped away their tears, and the maids beside them brought jewelry and wedding clothes. Xia Jinghong and the other two stepped back for the time being and waited for her to dress up.

Xia Xiao looked at a tree in the yard, basking in the sunshine, and shielding the small tree from the coming scorching sun.

"Good job. It rained heavily yesterday. It won't rain for the next few days."

Xia Xu patted Xia Xiao's shoulder, and the latter turned his head with a heavy heart.

"Brother, have you ever considered getting married?"

Xia Jinghong was standing at the door and also looked over, but spoke first:

"Your cultivation has stagnated, and you still want to get married? Dream on! Today, I will make it clear in front of Xiao'er. If you can't advance to the fruit stage, forget it."

"Dad, I feel it coming."

"Brother, you said that a year ago."

Xia Xu grabbed Xia Xiao's neck and punched the top of Xia Xiao's head.

"Stinky boy, why don't you help me?"

"I want to stimulate you."

Xia Xiao was smiling happily. Being with his family, he put all the sad things behind him for the time being.

"I know about this kind of thing, but you have to proceed step by step, don't rush. But before Nan Shang attacks, I will definitely be able to advance to the Venerable Realm of Fruit."

"Okay! Then tell me which daughter you like, and I'll propose for you first, so you can rest assured."

When Xia Jinghong said this, the eyes of Xia Xu and his brother lit up. Xia Xiao was happy for Xia Xu, as he knew that his elder brother had been talking about finding a wife for more than a year or two. As a military commander, he should have started a family at this age.

"Dad, don't bother. Huiyue knows, right? It's her!"

Xia Xiao's face changed slightly. When he first met Huiyue, he hoped that Huiyue would be with his elder brother. But did his elder brother really know about Huiyue's affairs? That year in Wanling City, Huiyue lost her virginity because of him. It was also on that day that the fire element in Xia Xiao's body awakened, causing him to injure Si Ying with a knife, damaging his foundation and making it difficult for him to improve his cultivation for the rest of his life.

"Sure! I will discuss it with your mother later, and I will propose marriage as soon as I return to Zhenxun. Once we have defeated Nan Shang, and you return to Beijing in triumph, we will marry him."

When Xia Xu agreed, Xia Xiao pulled Xia Xu over and walked aside.

"Brother, do you know about Huiyue?"

"Know!"

"Does she know?"

Xia Xu shook his head, the smile on his face was genuine and sunny, without any disgust. He knew that this was a pure accident, and it was not Huiyue who told him, but Eunuch Mu who was beside the emperor.

That time Xia Jinghong entered the palace, accepted the title, and took back the military power of the Xia family army in the northern border. Seeing that he was young and talented, Eunuch Mu chatted with him for a few words and let Huiyue's story slip. Although Eunuch Mu did not say her name, the only person who accompanied Xia Xiaoshushuang to Wanling City was Huiyue.

Eunuch Mu said that the woman in Wanling City had a miserable life. She took good care of Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang, but she lost the most important thing for a woman. After hearing this, Xia Xu just said that he would compensate her. The Xia family would definitely make up for what she owed. Not for anything else, just for that love! Eunuch Mu disagreed. Although he didn't say anything, no matter how much he compensated, it would be useless. But Xia Xu just had to marry her and treat her well.

Xia Xiao guessed Xia Xu's thoughts. He wanted to compensate Huiyue for himself. But since this matter was caused by him, he should do it, no matter how.
