CHAPTER 372: TAKE IT AND...

They didn’t encounter more good things.

However, neither Zhen Yuan nor Shen Xu minded.

After all, the zodiac golden rooster was more than enough to keep them excited for a long time.

"Ayuan, let’s check the shop and then enter the space." Shen Xu said, and Zhen Yuan agreed.

A moment later, the two left the backroom and walked to the front of the shop.

However, both stopped in their tracks when they saw the situation.

"Why is the wine almost gone?" The double asked in a shocked voice.

Hearing the question, Zhen Yuan smiled and rubbed his lover’s hair.

"It just proves that the wine you brew is good." He said.

After that, the two restocked the shelves on the first floor before heading to the second and third floors.

"I am officially out of wine." Shen Xu said and opened his hands to emphasise the point.

"I will help you brew some more."

"Good." The double nodded and prepared to leave the shop.

However, just as they were walking to the backroom, a group of young cultivators entered the shop.

Seeing Zhen Yuan and Shen Xu, one of the young people excitedly rushed forward, his arms outstretched, as if ready to hug someone.

But who was Zhen Yuan?

As soon as he saw the situation, he took Shen Xu’s hand and hurriedly stepped back.

Unfortunately, this didn’t deter the young man and only slowed his pace.

"Little brother, you are the most beautiful person I have ever seen." Xuanyuan Ze declared, and Shen Xu nodded before speaking.

"I know." He said in a matter-of-fact voice.

"Little brother, you are new to the sect and don’t know me." Xuanyuan Ze said and quickly continued.

"I am Xuanyuan Ze, the young master of the Tianxuan sect. Do you want to get to know each other?" He asked.

Unfortunately, Shen Xu didn’t eat that set and immediately shook his head.

"Senior brothers, senior sisters, please feel free to look around and buy whichever wine you want. My Taoist partner and I are going back." He said, squeezed Zhen Yuan’s hand and turned around, ready to leave the front of the shop.

However, Xuanyuan Ze reacted and rushed to block their way.

"Is there something else?" Shen Xu asked, but Xuanyuan Ze didn’t answer.

Instead, he took out a space ring and threw it at Zhen Yuan.

"What do you mean?" Zhen Yuan asked, his eyes narrowed into slits.

"There are one million spirit stones in that space ring. Take it and leave. I don’t want to see you around XuXu again." Xuanyuan Ze ordered in an arrogant voice.

However, he thought well, but reality was bleak.

Just after delivering his order, he felt a sense of crisis and hurriedly retreated.

Unfortunately, the sense of crisis followed him, and before he could react, a heavy hammer fell on him and smashed him to the ground.

"One million spirit stones...." Shen Xu muttered through gritted teeth.

"One million spirit stones..., you dare to interfere with my marriage and with such a paltry amount?" He questioned, lifted his hammer, and prepared to smash the person a second time.

However, Xuanyuan Yan reacted and activated a shield to block the attack.

"Stop." She shouted and glared at Shen Xu.

Unfortunately, the double was not in the mood to listen to her.

On one hand, he disliked that the bastard dared to treat him and Zhen Yuan so casually and on the other, he had the name ’Xuanyuan’.

Excluding the triplets, Shen Xu didn’t have a good impression of the Xuanyuan family and wanted to earn some interest before the main event.

At this time, he smiled and looked at Xuanyuan Yan with a teasing expression.

"Don’t worry, senior sister. I am a good person and will naturally not let the senior brother suffer." He said and casually tossed a space ring.

"There is one billion spirit stones in that space ring. Take it and watch quietly as I beat some sense into this senior brother. Don’t worry, I will definitely not kill him." Shen Xu smiled, but his tone and expression dripped with mockery.

Xuanyuan Yan and the surrounding spectators didn’t know what to say.

This was the first time they had encountered such a situation and were torn between horror and schadenfreude.

"Is this double out of his mind?" Someone whispered.

"How dare he treat the young sect master like this?" Another said.

"Does he still want to stay in the sect?"

"Stay in the sect? Is that the main problem here? Do you think he can keep his life after beating the young sect master?"

"Wait..., something is wrong." Someone said, and the others turned to look at him.

"What’s wrong?" Someone asked.

"How can an early-stage spirit transformation realm cultivator beat a peak-stage void refining realm cultivator?"

"Now that you mention it..."

"This doesn’t make sense."

"Maybe the double caught senior brother Xuanyuan by surprise."

"Senior brother Xuanyuan should have been able to react even if the attack was unexpected."

"Do you think senior sister Xuanyuan will take the one billion spirit stones?"

"I would take it if I were her. After all, junior brother Shen is a good person and will definitely not beat senior brother Xuanyuan to death."

"What nonsense are you saying? That double is a troublemaker. How can he be a good person?"

"One billion spirit stones..., this amount is not small. Even senior sister Xuanyuan can’t ignore it."

"She can’t ignore it, but can she afford to lose this face?"

As the crowd speculated, Xuanyuan Yan indeed couldn’t afford to lose that face.

After all, she would one day become the sect master, and she didn’t want such dark history to affect her succession.

"Junior brother Shen, you are too arrogant and don’t know the height of the sky." She said, and several spectators nodded.

However, Shen Xu smiled without a care in the world.

"I indeed don’t know the height of the sky, but I know I will beat whoever dares to interfere with my marriage." He said and sneered before continuing.

"Either take my spirit stones and step out of the way so that I can teach this senior brother a good lesson, or leave my shop." He said and lowered his eyes with a lazy expression.
