Xianyu had never imagined Hua would get jealous.
And of Matthias, at that.
Didn't the two of them get along well?
Besides, Xianyu had always treated everyone equally.
He had left the Xianzhou to Hua and given the Strales to Matthias.
That was perfectly fair.
If anything, Lan was the one he owed the most.
Before ascending to godhood, he had spent only a brief time as a crown prince in name alone.
Xianyu had sent Lan to the Luofu.
He hadn't expected the guy to vanish the moment he let him out of his sight!
The crown prince had been thrown into prison and forced into slumber.
Bound by his agreement with Fuli, Xianyu couldn't intervene directly.
He always kept his promises, so he had settled for the next best thing: finding a way to kill Fuli.
Once the Aeon died, Xianyu would no longer have to honor their agreement.
Unfortunately, his best friend hadn't been very cooperative and had stopped appearing.
When Xianyu and Lan finally met again,
the other man had barely gotten out of prison before abandoning humanity and becoming a god.
Following Xianyu had earned Lan neither power nor money.
Of course, Aeons weren't human. Their thoughts couldn't be judged by ordinary standards.
The only thing Xianyu could give Lan was the faith of the Xianzhou natives.
After Guan Liang spelled out Hua's true feelings, Xianyu quickly came up with a solution-give Hua a Money Tree.
He knew full well Hua couldn't keep a Money Tree alive, yet he was still willing to give her one.
Wasn't that thoughtful enough?
Xianyu considered the gift very sincere.
Then he forgot about it.
Hua hadn't been appeased. Instead, she had roped in Dan Feng and arranged quite a spectacle for him.
The Vidyadhara all had flushed faces
