Jun Mo Xie smiled and patted his clothes before walking towards his home. He threw all the items won by him in today's game into his room, letting the maids sort them out while he walked out to check up on important things.
On the other hand, Grandpa Jun learned the news that Jun Mo Xie had brazenly taken money to go gambling. Grandpa Jun who had returned home with such high spirits suddenly stumbled.
He furiously rushed toward Jun Mo Xie's room to teach him a lesson. After barging in through the door, he was stunned to see a package full of precious treasures sitting on the bed, shining brightly.
The tender little girl called Little Ke was smiling to the point of squinting her eyes. She evaluated each one of the items, her fingers moving around, calculating how much those items could be sold for...
Examining carefully, Grandpa Jun was shocked.
"Where did all these items come from?" Grandpa Jun's face was twitching as he asked.
It was a normal reaction considering Jun Mo Xie's actions of spending a large amount of money for fun.
Little Ke who was busy calculating heard the Old Head's voice and only then did she realize that the master of the house was standing at the doorway. She was momentarily shocked, then she quickly kneeled in salute before replying. "These treasures were won by the Young Master when he went out to gamble earlier."
"He won? He finally won?" Jun Zhan Tian's voice became low, his mind filled with delight and surprise.
On the other hand, Jun Mo Xie walked into the library. He first created a clone of himself to sit in the library while he opened a portal and entered into it.
Somewhere far away in a dense forest, Jun Mo Xie emerged from a spatial portal. He felt like a dragon at sea... or a tiger in the forest the moment he had entered the forest. In fact, he had crossed around twenty-five kilometers in a single moment.
It was extremely relaxing for him. And, very easy!
Whether it was his outer body or inner soul, everything felt extremely relaxed.
He continued to walk slowly, taking deep breaths, strolling carelessly while avoiding the traps laid in the forest as if he were aware of their existence.
That forest was the most dangerous and cruel place in the entire Xuan Xuan Continent as per the common legends. However, this territory was still giving a sense of comfort to Jun Mo Xie's heart!
After traveling for a few minutes, he arrived in a slightly open area where a group of burly people had gathered together, drinking happily.
Jun Mo Xie finally released his presence which slightly startled that group of humans.
But looking closely one would realize that the gathered people were not humans at all. Aside from having human-like features, that group of creatures also possessed furs and beasts' characteristics.
They simultaneously raised their heads and looked at Jun Mo Xie, only to have a smile blossoming on their faces.
They quickly jumped on their feet and greeted Jun Mo Xie enthusiastically.
"Brother-in-law, you have finally come to visit us."
"Brother-in-law, you could have sent a letter if you want something."
"Shut up. Quickly bring more wine. Since brother-in-law is here, let's have a party tonight."
They all cheered happily, delighted by Jun Mo Xie's presence.
"What about the Eldest?" One of them asked.
"Don't worry. With brother-in-law here, Eldest will not bully us." A tall and burly man laughed with his face towards the sky.
"Oh really? Then should I tell her about what you said."
At that exact moment, a playful voice echoed and a beautiful young woman draped in a green outfit walked out from the shadows.
Watching the young woman, the burly guy shuddered and quickly said. "I'm just joking. It is a joke! Please, don't tell Eldest about it."
The young woman smiled proudly as she had scared them.
Jun Mo Xie looked at her and smiled sweetly. "Hello Qianxun, you have grown up again in the time I haven't seen you."
The young woman called Qianxun blushed, her cheeks flushing with a shade of red. She said embarrassingly. "Hmph, don't say that! Also, don't call me by my name... I will complain about it to my sister."
Jun Mo Xie walked over and patted her head with a mesmerizing smile. "Then please pass my complaint to her too... Tell her that I miss her very much... And she can't always hide from me."
He then leaned ahead and softly whispered into her ear. "And also you are growing into a beautiful woman. I think I might be going to fall for you too. How about it? Do you want to go out on a date with me?"
"Ahh... I... I..." The young woman's face turned red from embarrassment and she turned around to flee deeper into the forest. "I will not talk with you."
"Hahaha..." Jun Mo Xie laughed lightly and turned toward the group of males who instantly extended their hands and gave him a thumbs-up.
Jun Mo Xie smiled and shook his head, joining them on the table for a round of drinks. Looking at their faces, he couldn't help but think about the events that led him to get acquainted with these pure and simple creatures.
----
A few years prior, somewhere in a forest, a group of people led by a middle-aged man had besieged a powerful panther Xuan beast which was at Level 9, equal to a Spirit Xuan human expert.
The middle-aged laughed happily as his plan worked and he was this close to getting his hand on the core of the panther beast but...
"Hahaha, what great luck! I'm grateful to you idiots for hunting down an Xuan Beast king for this Monarch. Now, it will be best for you to leave this place if you want to live."
A sonorous laughter rang in the surroundings, startling Li Jue Tian and his men, with a hint of ridicule.
Li Jue Tian was one of the Eight Great Masters and the Head of the Xue Hun Manor, a powerful force at the border of the Tian Fa Forest. He might look like a middle-aged man but in reality, he was a hundred-year-old monster.
