Pay Up

"No..."

"Impossible!"

Galeo's eyes were filled with shock as he staggered back several steps. "Isn't your fiancée Nalan Yanran of the Misty Cloud Sect? How could Xiao Xun'er possibly be your girlfriend?"

Galeo refused to believe it.

Not only him—

The surrounding crowd also stared at Xiao Huo in shock.

Xiao Huo already had Nalan Yanran. How could he possibly be involved with Xiao Xun'er as well?

"Miss Xun'er,"

"Tell me... Xiao Huo is lying. As long as you nod, this Wood Spirit Bracelet will be yours," Galeo said, looking at the breathtaking girl beside Xiao Huo. No matter what, he could not believe it.

Galeo sneered inwardly.

How could trash like Xiao Huo, with only Dou Qi level three, possibly win over Xiao Xun'er?

As long as Xiao Xun'er nodded, how humiliated would Xiao Huo be?

After all, this Wood Spirit Bracelet was worth a fortune!

For a moment, Everyone looked at Xiao Xun'er, waiting for her answer.

The delight in Galeo's heart deepened.

Because he saw Xiao Xun'er walking toward him, seemingly intending to take the Wood Spirit Bracelet.

At once, Galeo felt delighted.

Even if Xiao Huo had the Misty Cloud Sect behind him, so what?

Whoever could win Xiao Xun'er's heart would have to rely on their own abilities!

Galeo waited expectantly, extending his hand with the Wood Spirit Bracelet in it. As long as Xiao Xun'er took it, how embarrassed would Xiao Huo be? Just thinking about it made Galeo look forward to it.

However, The next moment, Galeo stood there in utter disarray!

A look of disbelief appeared in his eyes!

This was impossible!

It felt as though Galeo's heart were trembling!

Everyone around him gasped!

All of them stared dumbfounded at the scene before them!

Xiao Xun'er walked straight past Galeo. Not only that, she completely ignored the Wood Spirit Bracelet in his hand! He stood there with his hand extended, looking as awkward as could be.

"Brother Xiao Huo!"

"Hmph... Xun'er couldn't find you for ages. Brother Xiao Huo, you're getting worse and worse. You're not allowed to bully me anymore," Xun'er said with a bright smile. Her clear, beautiful eyes gazed at Xiao Huo as she took the initiative to throw herself into his arms.

"How could I?"

"My Xun'er is getting prettier and prettier. This is a Purple Spirit Bracelet I bought for you. It's worth sixty thousand gold coins," Xiao Huo said with a smile, putting the bracelet on Xun'er's jade-like wrist and drawing the girl into his embrace.

"Oh..."

"Thank you, Brother Xiao Huo!"

Xun'er's pretty face flushed red as her bright, watery eyes looked at Xiao Huo. Brother Xiao Huo really had changed. He even knew to give her gifts now... but where had these sixty thousand gold coins come from?

The two were exceedingly intimate.

Xiao Huo personally put the bracelet on Xun'er, then held her jade-like hand and kept her close by his side. Everyone present saw their little gestures. They were so intimate that they were no different from a couple.

Everyone's bodies trembled.

They only felt as though they had suffered heartbreak.

Such a stunningly beautiful Xun'er was the number one beauty of all Wutan City!

Countless people liked her.

Yet she had always been aloof and had never interacted much with anyone.

Many regarded Xun'er as an untouchable goddess.

Today...

The goddess had voluntarily entered Xiao Huo's embrace.

Everyone around them felt their hearts shattering!

This...

How could Xiao Huo's luck be so good?

What the hell...

No one could accept this!

They simply could not believe the outcome would be like this!

Nalan Yanran, the young lady of the Misty Cloud Sect, was Xiao Huo's fiancée.

Xiao Xun'er, the goddess of the Xiao Clan, was also so intimately close to Xiao Huo.

Many people looked at Xiao Huo with envy, wishing they could beat this bastard to death.

What a beast...

They were all still single, yet Xiao Huo already had two stunning beauties in his arms!

What a blow!

A truly devastating blow!

Comparisons really did make people mad...

As for Young Master Galeo, he was completely dumbfounded!

His face flushed red, and he could not say a word. He only felt unbearably humiliated! Just now, he had actually been under the illusion that Xiao Xun'er's smiling expression was directed at him, and even...

Young Master Galeo had felt like he was about to fall in love.

The girl before him definitely liked him! That look in her eyes, that smile at the corner of her lips—Young Master Galeo had even thought up names for their future son and daughter!

Then...

He was embarrassed.

The goddess walked right past him, ignoring him and the Wood Spirit Bracelet in his hand, before throwing herself into Xiao Huo's embrace behind him!

This...

Was too melodramatic!

What embarrassed Young Master Galeo most was that the Wood Spirit Bracelet in his hand was worth at most a few thousand gold coins, while the bracelet in Xiao Huo's hand was genuine Purple Crystal Jade, worth no less than sixty thousand gold coins!

Compared to Xiao Huo's, Young Master Galeo was too embarrassed to even take out his Wood Spirit Bracelet.

With such a commonplace Wood Spirit Bracelet, he wanted to flirt with Xiao Xun'er?

Young Master Galeo only felt as if his face were being slapped over and over.

As the surrounding gazes fell upon him, he even wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into...

"Young Master Galeo." Xiao Huo looked at Young Master Galeo with a smile, placing particular emphasis on "Young Master." Young Master Galeo hurriedly backed away, his entire body trembling as he stared at Xiao Huo warily.

"Xiao... Young Master Xiao!"

"I wouldn't dare. I... I'm not some young master." Young Master Galeo hurriedly said, fear still lingering in his eyes. If he said one wrong word, Xiao Huo would probably slap him again.

The most terrifying part was...

Even after being slapped, Young Master Galeo did not dare fight back!

Nalan Yanran stood behind Xiao Huo. Who would dare fight back?

What if Xiao Huo contacted the Misty Cloud Sect?

The Jia Lie Family could be wiped out in minutes!

"Don't worry, I won't hit you." Xiao Huo said calmly. With his hands clasped behind his back, he continued walking toward Young Master Galeo.

With a thud, Young Master Galeo fell onto the ground, looking at Xiao Huo with trembling eyes.

"Young Master Xiao, you really won't hit me?" Young Master Galeo asked shakily, still afraid. Just standing before Xiao Huo made him feel horrified. The man before him was definitely a devil!

"I really won't."

Xiao Huo smiled faintly.

Then, a crisp slapping sound rang out.

Slap!

Five distinct finger marks appeared on Young Master Galeo's face. He clutched his face, his expression twisted in pain as he looked at Xiao Huo in terror. The pain was excruciating, but he did not dare cry out—if he made a sound, he would get hit again.

"Young... Young Master Xiao, didn't you say you wouldn't hit me?" Young Master Galeo asked hurriedly, clutching his left cheek and gritting his teeth. What happened to trust? What happened to not hitting him? He had just gone ahead and done it!

"You... you..."

"You're actually this kind of person!" Xiao Huo said with some helpless indignation, rubbing his hand. "I already said I wouldn't hit you. What are you trying to do?"

"Why did you use your face to hit my hand? It hurts so much..." Xiao Huo said with a "pained" expression, as though his hand truly hurt.

Then, Another slap followed!

Five bright red finger marks appeared on Galeo's right cheek.

Before he could even cry out in pain, Xiao Huo cried out first.

"Galeo!"

"I'm not done with you people! You actually used your face to hit my hand again! Do you know how much my hand hurts?!" Xiao Huo rubbed his right hand, his face full of "anger."

"X-Xiao... Young Master Xiao, what do you want?" Galeo felt searing pain on his face, and the fear in his heart rose to its peak. The Xiao Huo before him was absolutely the most terrifying devil!

"Young Master Xiao, I was wrong! I shouldn't have hit your... your hand. Is your hand all right? You can make any demand you want. Everything that happened today was my fault!" Galeo dropped to his knees directly before Xiao Huo, his voice trembling as if on the verge of tears.

"How could my hand be all right?"

"Pay up. Ten thousand gold coins." Xiao Huo spoke indifferently, his cold gaze fixed on Galeo. Young Master Galeo could casually spend several thousand gold coins on a Wood Spirit Bracelet—he was filthy rich. How could Xiao Huo not fleece him?

Thinking of how Xiao Yan could only afford bracelets worth two or three gold coins back then, he really was a poor bumpkin!
