The Matter of Marriage

"..."

"..."

"Yes, I just ate, I'm not hungry."

Inside the Cao Family's shelter, Xiao Youxiu's facial muscles twitched slightly. He pretended to be nonchalant and said casually.

"Fengqi has prepared some meat for you; You can take it back, Youxiu."

Cao Jiancheng and Liu Xiuxiu opened their mouths, then thought, "Well, their son has already said it..."

They forced a smile and changed the subject.

"No need, our Xiao Family has no shortage of meat."

Xiao Youxiu gritted his teeth and said, "We've already consumed a level 5 Mystic Devouring Beast and level 4 Xuan Shi meat, and now we're going to eat more..."

His voice abruptly stopped as he stared in disbelief at the two or three hundred pounds of meat that Cao Fengqi had pulled out.

A complete level 4 Mystic Devouring Beast carcass weighs at least 70-80 kilograms, which is equivalent to the flesh of a level 5 Mystic Devouring Beast...

His pupils slowly dilated.

The Xiao Family has never lacked food, and meat has never been out of the question.

But that's just ordinary meat; there's more of the kind like Calamity Rat Rotten Crow.

Although my older sister became Transcendent Sequence being very early on, she has one problem.

When it was in the Worldweaver Sequence, its combat power was extremely weak.

Although he often made gains in the Lost Land, his strength was not enough to hunt down a level 5 Mystic Devouring Beast, a leader of a gregarious evil beast tribe.

These resources are equivalent to more than half a year's earnings for me.

What's wrong with eating more?

Cao Fengqi handed him the meat.

"Hehe, it's nothing, it's nothing."

Xiao Youxiu forced a smile and looked at him with a stiff upper lip, "It wasn't for nothing that my sister took such good care of you."

Cao Fengqi looked at him with a mocking expression upon hearing his tone.

Why isn't it as hard as before?

"Hey, and these two bottles of water for Sister Youya."

Cao Fengqi then took out two bottles of level 4 Calming Water and an Iceheart Rock Fruit, placing them in his arms and instructing him, "Don't steal any."

"..."

Xiao Youxiu felt humiliated, but when he saw the attributes of the Iceheart Rock Fruit, his heart was also burning with excitement.

It really is a level 5 fruit.

In the past nine years, he has only eaten two level 5 spiritual fruits.

This kind of spiritual fruit is extremely difficult for even extraordinary individuals to obtain.

"You guys eat first, I'm leaving now."

Xiao Youxiu didn't want to stay there any longer, so he carried his things out.

"Hastily!"

"Xiao Youxiu, where the hell did you go?!"

"That male vixen is clearly humiliating you, damn it!!"

As soon as he stepped out of the Cao Family's gate, Xiao Youxiu couldn't help but growl in a low voice.

His expression kept changing, but looking at the food in his hand, he pursed his lips.

The words "It smells so good!" filled his mind.

He took several deep breaths, grinned, and walked home carrying his things.

"Wow, You're so great, how did you get so much stuff?"

As Xiao Youxiu stepped into the house carrying so many items, the Xiao Family members looked on in surprise and asked questions.

"That..."

Xiao Youxiu looked at Xiao Youya ahead and walked over, carrying the bag. "Sister, this is from Cao Fengqi."

"Of course, this is what that kid should give you as a token of respect, hmph."

He added, clearly annoyed!

"Level 5 Mystic Devouring Beast, level 5 spirit fruit, level 4 water?"

Xiao Youya noticed this and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

"I wonder how this kid got his hands on so many good things."

Xiao Youxiu pursed his lips. "On their dining table, there were quite a few of these level 4 waters and level 5 spirit fruits."

"So extravagant?"

Leng Shuangshuang, who was standing to the side, exclaimed in surprise.

Xiao Youya raised her embroidered eyebrows, took the Iceheart Rock Fruit, thought for a moment, and handed it to Leng Qingyun beside her. "Uncle Leng, please take this Iceheart Rock Fruit."

"Give me?"

Leng Qingyun was slightly taken aback.

"I took one not long ago, but it's no longer effective."

Xiao Youya interrupted him, saying, "The Divine Granny said the crisis isn't over yet. We should improve as much as we can now. Once we get to Tianbei Base City, I'll have a way to trade these fruits."

"Distribute the level 5 Mystic Devouring Beast to those in the family who haven't eaten it before, to improve their physique."

"As for the corpse of this level 4 Mystic Devouring Beast, give it to me; I want to use it for a trade."

She made the decisions one by one.

Xiao Youxiu listened from the side, glancing at the meat and then at his older sister, his head full of question marks.

No, it's not that you endured humiliation to receive the meat, but didn't get a single bite yourself?

"Sis, this... I brought it here, aren't you going to give me some?" he said, unable to contain himself.

"You're going to eat this? How old are you?"

Xiao Cunzhi, standing to the side, looked at him and scolded, "You're such a jerk! You listen to your sister in everything!"

"..."

Xiao Youxiu tilted his head and licked his lips, his expression a mixture of wonder and helplessness!

"This Cao Fengqi is not bad. He's quite capable, an extraordinary being, and young and promising."

Xiao Cunzhi glanced at the Cao Family's location, his eyes flashing as he made a comment.

He is indeed a good son-in-law.

However, he might not be willing to go to her door, and he already has someone he's going on a blind date with...

"Fengqi, do you have a prejudice against Xiao Youxiu?"

Meanwhile, at the Cao Family, Cao Jiancheng looked at him and asked curiously.

I don't like this kid.

Cao Fengqi said with a smile, "Of course, this kid doesn't like me either."

"Hehe, that Deputy County Magistrate Xiao is a really nice person."

Cao Jiancheng smiled and couldn't help but ask curiously, "What's your relationship with her?"

I've only met him four or five times.

Cao Fengqi looked at his somewhat gossipy father and said speechlessly.

"Deputy County Magistrate Xiao might be difficult to talk to..."

"If you ask me, I think Zhiyan and Zhixue are the best. Now that they're both superhumans, they're a good match for you, kid."

Liu Xiuxiu gestured to him, "Mom is very satisfied with them too. You should chat with the two girls more often to get to know them better. We'll give them and Xiao Chen the Level 3 metal we dismantled from the shelter later."

"..."

My parents are more imaginative than I am.

"Alright, you decide."

While eating, Cao Fengqi replied perfunctorily, "You guys are busy this afternoon. I need to absorb soul energy for cultivation. Just call me if you need anything."

"Okay, you go about your business, we'll take care of things at home."

Liu Xiuxiu said with a smile.

After finishing his meal, Cao Fengqi went straight back to his room and took out the souls one by one.

Absorbing souls takes a considerable amount of time; next, he needs to convert these souls into strength.

I'm going to go and have a chat with Yang Yuanyuan.

In the living room, Liu Xiuxiu finished her meal and walked towards the Wang Family next door with a smile on her face.

She wants to talk to Yang Yuanyuan and encourage the children from both families to visit each other more often.

She was determined to be related to the Wang Family as her in-laws.

"Xiuxiu, thank you so much! Your family has helped us so much; we really don't know how to repay you."

When Yang Yuanyuan heard that Liu Xiuxiu was going to give them the materials from the Cao Family's previous shelter, she excitedly grabbed her hand.

Although both of their daughters have now become extraordinary individuals, they cannot be arrogant in front of the Cao Family.

For the Wang Family, Cao Family Erlang was the best son-in-law!

Yang Yuanyuan and Liu Xiuxiu are now eager to become in-laws.

Their relationship is even better than when they were in school...
