Chapter 1068: Rich and Imposing!

According to legends, there were two newly rich lords from the villages who once came into Tian Xiang City carrying 5,000 silvers. They thought that they were rich and imposing, and did not lack money, and so they decided to go to the Aristocratic Hall to have some fun. When they reached there, they asked the guard at the door: "What can we do with 5,000 silvers here? How long could we play for?"

The guard looked at the two of them with pitiable glances and pointed at the distance. "See that? Go over there, and you will see a tea restaurant. After handing over 5,000 silvers, you can go to the first level and find a seat for yourself. You can enjoy a pot of tea there, but you need to remember, you can only sit there for at most one hour... after that, you can go...

"I'll give you another word of advice; when you're drinking there, it's best to behave appropriately. Don't try to make any moves on the serving girls because they're beautiful... as long as the girl sits down, en, as long as their butt touches the chair, it doesn't matter if you have other requests or not... You won't be able to leave that door if you don't have 50,000 silvers..."

The two 'rich men' discussed for half a day before coming to a conclusion: 5,000 silvers is only enough to have a pot of tea in the Aristocratic Hall... nothing else. Even if they had money, it shouldn't be spent like that! Thus, they left in a crestfallen manner and saved the 5,000 silvers...

Later on, this little story became a joke that spread to the entire city. Many people were furious that the rich were so overbearing, completely not caring about the gap between the wealthy and the poor at all. However, those rich young masters who could afford to spend the money became even more eager! Not only were they not ashamed of themselves, they spent even more lavishly as if it were a badge of honour!

Are you an aristocrat?

Have you been to the Aristocratic Hall?

No?

Then what kind of aristocrat are you? F*ck!

Talk business?

Sure, let's go to the Aristocratic Hall.

What? You can't afford it?

You can't even afford to go to the Aristocratic Hall and you have the face to talk business with me? Forget it then, if there are any crisis in the business, are you even capable of covering the loss?!

Do you have anything that you won in an auction from the Aristocratic Hall?

No? Then you... are truly too laughable...

The Aristocratic Hall was a place that only the real aristocrats could afford to visit! Only the super rich had the qualifications to enter! Even if one entered the Aristocratic Hall and came out squeezed as dry as an old lemon that had been left out in the wind for a long time, one would at least still be capable of speaking on equal grounds as all the other upper class!

People who could enter the Aristocratic Hall were elites; people who stood at the peak, the best of the best!

This was the basic idea behind Young Master Jun's idea when he established the Aristocratic Hall! All the messages behind their advertisements were exactly this...

After Tang Yuan took over, he pushed this idea with greater effort, spreading it to the entire Xuan Xuan Continent! Then, when the name of the Evil Monarch became more resounding, the Aristocratic Hall's fame grew even higher as a result! And the prices of the things in the Aristocratic Hall seemed to be sitting on a rocket, shooting all the way into the skies!

But the higher the price became, the more people went!

This was a concept that the commoners and normal people could not understand at all...

To them, it was the legendary "brainless people effect"...

The spirit herbs that could no longer catch Young Master Jun's eyes would immediately be placed for auction at the Aristocratic Hall! Something that would normally be bought with just 2,000 gold would be impossible to buy at the Aristocratic Hall without at least 50,000 gold!

Why? This granddaddy is an aristocrat! This granddaddy is not auctioning spirit herbs, but a status! Do you understand?! To sell something for just one or two thousand gold? That would be disgracing the face of the aristocrats too much...

A pot of tea that costs 50 silver would not have anyone drinking it at all. But if it's raised to 500 silvers, the restaurant would be flooded with customers... if it's raised to 5,000 silvers, people would even need to place a reservation in advance to get a seat...

And the tea house was only one of the lowest earning businesses of the Aristocratic Hall. With just a single thought, fatty Tang's net worth could be said to have reached an absolutely terrifying level...

Money could enslave ghosts, and even summon the gods!

When one had accumulated enough money that even the heavens would be moved, one would still be a terrifying character even if they didn't have any physical strength!

The entire Xuan Xuan Continent was stirred up as all the large powers moved out. All of them were elites with great strength and influence! This was not just an invitation to attend the establishment of the Evil Monarch's faction. It was also a chance for everyone to showcase their abilities in front of the heroes of the world!

Who would dare to miss this chance?

The grand ceremony of the Evil Monarch had sent the whole continent into a buzz! From the three Holy Lands to the worldly families, to even the mighty pirates of the ocean, everyone began to move at the same time...

Even those who hadn't received an invitation were also fretting to look for a good gift to send over... If they could present a gift that was able to catch the eye of the Evil Monarch... they could ascend to the heavens in one move...

Whether it was those who had received an invitation or those who hadn't... at least two thirds of the people in the continent were wreaking their brains about the present!

No one would go forward empty handed, that was for sure. But what should they bring?

What should they give... that would help them to stand out in front of the Evil Monarch?

I heard that old fellow is an exceedingly unreasonable person... it's fine if the gift did not stand out, but if it is unsatisfactory... their lives might even become forfeit...

Thus, many newly rich families were constantly being targeted by theft, robberies, kidnapping etc...

They were not taking gold and silver, but rare and precious items...

There was a well known rich man who had good brothers in all corners of the world. But in this short period, his only son had actually been kidnapped twice by those 'familiar friends'... Furthermore, his family's treasury had been ransacked thoroughly by thieves and robbers...

After this, the rich man shattered all his mirrors... Whenever he wanted to take a look at his reflection, he could just go to the treasury room and use the smooth and empty floor as a mirror... the floor had been swept so cleanly that it was even clearer than the bronze mirrors...

It was possible to even count the number of hairs on his leg if he stood still...

————————

But at this time, Young Master Jun did not have the slightest idea about the chaos in the world.

Right now, he was walking through the dense forest alone...

When he left the Misty Illusory Manor this time, he did not come out the way that he went in initially. The place where he'd come in from at the start was not far from the Dongfang Family, but Jun Mo Xie found that he was actually at a very foreign location this time. Although this place was also a dense forest that stretched as far as the eyes could see, it was very different from the original entrance!

The mountains in the distance did not appear familiar at all. The forest was exceedingly dense, and even Young Master Jun could not see far into the distance with his eyes...

But Jun Mo Xie was not anxious at all. As long as he was back in the Xuan Xuan Continent, he would eventually find his way home. At this moment, he simply chose a random direction and walked forward in a slow manner by himself.

There was truly no need to be anxious. He only needed to find a place where people lived, and he would be able to understand where he was. After determining his direction and travelling down at full speed, he would return to Tian Nan in at most a few days!

Besides, Young Master Jun had managed to feed Green Hunter a few mouthfuls of food ever since she'd been healed using the Holy Tree's life blood essence. Her pulse was also getting stronger, while her breathing was heavier. Her condition was improving rapidly, and she seemed like she would wake up at any time...

In this crucial period, how would Jun Mo Xie forget about Green Hunter while only caring to rush home? This poor girl had already been sleeping for a few months now...

In this period of time, Jun Mo Xie had also asked himself countless times: After having Guan Qing Han, he accepted Mei Xue Yan. After accepting Mei Xue Yan, he could not give up Guan Qing Han, and even accepted an additional Dugu Xiao Yi. And now, he'd also taken Miao Xiao Miao in...

Then, why couldn't he accept Green Hunter?

This was originally a world where men were in a dominant position, and it was common for a man to have many wives. Even the women saw it as an extremely normal thing. Then, could it be that he didn't dare to take up this responsibility?

Did he have to reject these smart and beautiful girls who loved him deeply to some common guy? Would they really be able to find happiness like that? No, if he did that, it would definitely not be a matter of happiness for them. They would only fall into an endless abyss, and he would never find peace within his conscience!

In that case, what am I afraid of? Who am I afraid of?

Back then, Guan Qing Han had been the target of public ridicule and scorn, but hadn't he still managed to face the problem and resolved it by force?! Could it be that he'd instead become more cowardly after experiencing all those things?

I am Jun Mo Xie!

The Monarch of all evils in this world!

Why should I care about the views of the world?

I do as I wish! That is sufficient!

As for the disdainful eyes of others...

Who the f*ck are they?

If they irritate this daddy, I'll annihilate their nine generations!

As his thoughts travelled here, Jun Mo Xie felt his body lighten considerably, and his mind felt more refreshed...

In that moment, he suddenly remembered the Jun Family's ancestral teachings: Having balls does not make you a man! It is the incomparably indomitable spirit which does!

He could not help but to roar aloud with laughter. "F*ck them! What a nice f*ck them, HAHAHA..."

His vulgar laughter rose into the sky, sending the birds in the trees around him fleeing in panic...

All of a sudden, Jun Mo Xie clearly heard a weak moan from inside the Hongjun Pagoda...

Jun Mo Xie instantly recognized the source of the voice and gasped with surprise. His body shook lightly and suddenly disappeared from the forest, diving into the Hongjun Pagoda...

Inside the Hongjun Pagoda, Green Hunter was trying to prop her body up weakly as she looked around her surroundings with fear and confusion.

"You're awake?" Jun Mo Xie had already returned to his original appearance after he came out of the Misty Illusory Manor.

When he saw Green Hunter waking up, he quickly asked.

"You..." A look of joy appeared on her face. But in an instant, the look disappeared and she hung her head. "... Brother-in-law... where is this? How come I'm not dead?"

"With Brother-in-law here, how would you be allowed to die! This place is a secret location!" Jun Mo Xie said with a slight smile. But inside him, he felt a strange sour feeling in his heart. When Green Hunter awoke, her eyes had been filled with wild joy when she saw him. However, it'd turned immediately into a look of endless pain and regret. This silly girl had been so full of fear and suspicion when she saw this place, but the instant she saw him, all her fear had instantly turned into peace and calm!

It was as if it didn't matter where this was. As long as he was here, everything would be fine...
