Divine Beast Lord: 10000 Amplifier From The Start

93 Enemies Bumping Into Each Other

“You look good! You look good!”

Ma Yunle nodded repeatedly and secretly nudged Wang Xiao, who was still in a daze. “What are you waiting for? Say something!”

“Ah? Oh! It’s beautiful!”

Wang Xiao nodded perfunctorily and pointed at a black veil decorated with sequins in Zhou Xiruo’s hand. “But what’s that gauze?”

“It’s called a veil!”

Zhou Xiruo rolled her eyes angrily. Then, she folded the veil into a triangle and placed it in the breast pocket of Wang Xiao’s jacket. “This way, others will know that we’re together!”

Wang Xiao fiddled with the black veil with a puzzled expression. “Is there such a thing?”

Beside him, Ma Yunle pursed his lips and chuckled. His gaze kept changing between Wang Xiao and Zhou Xiruo. He had an expression on his face that suggested he had been through such a thing before and clearly understood something.

“Junior Brother is really capable!”

Ma Yunle gave Wang Xiao a thumbs up before being glared at by Zhou Xiruo.

Ma Yunle chuckled and didn’t mind. He took out another green resource ball. “I heard that you’re going to the banquet. I know it’s not convenient for you to shop at the trading market now, so I helped you choose some gifts.”

Wang Xiao took it and took a look. There were 100 units of purple gold mineral and 100 spiritual herbs of various attributes inside. He immediately revealed a hesitant expression. “This… is a little too much, right?”

A hundred units of purple gold mineral was a million star coins, not to mention the hundred spirit herbs.

Wang Xiao had only gone to the Fang family to obtain a Mutated Core. Even if he was a resourceful person now, he could not squander his wealth like this!

Before he could speak, Zhou Xiruo beat him to it. “This is my intention. Your current status is no longer the same as before. If you’re too petty, you’ll be laughed at by others!”

“But we don’t have to spend so much money, right?”

Wang Xiao still felt his heart ache. He had just earned five million yuan with little to no cost from the Lord’s Shop’s, but Zhou Xiruo had spent nearly half of it on him!

Seeing that the two of them were vaguely angry with each other, Ma Yunle chuckled and walked to the side with his arm around Wang Xiao’s shoulder. “Brother, this is what you don’t understand.”
“Although these things are said to be gifts, they’re actually a token of appreciation. Giving them away in public will not only make you look good, but it will also make the Fang family look good. At that time, when the old master of the Fang family feels happy, not only will he reject your gift, but he might even give you something!”

“There’s such a thing?”

Wang Xiao raised his eyebrows. He did not know much about the ways of the rich, but seeing Ma Yunle’s confident expression, he subconsciously believed him.

“Alright!”

In the end, Wang Xiao nodded in agreement. After all, he did not lack this one million yuan. It was just that he was used to being thrifty in the past and felt a little heartache.


After preparing the gifts, Wang Xiao and Zhou Xiruo set off for the Fang family.

The Western District was a district for the wealthy in Kaiyang City. After crossing the north and south midline of Kaiyang City, Wang Xiao clearly felt the difference between the Western District and the other districts.

The buildings in the civilian area were all sturdy. Although they were not dilapidated, because they did not have much decoration, they always gave off an ancient feeling.

Regardless of the size of the buildings in the wealthy district, they were all decorated in a magnificent manner. All kinds of neon lights powered by energy cores made this place still as bright as day in the middle of the night.

After a while, the two of them arrived at the Fang family.

The three-meter-tall door was open, and there was a spacious courtyard inside. However, at this moment, a long table stage had already been set up. Many people were gathered in twos and threes. This did not look like someone’s house. Instead, it looked like a high-class restaurant.

Wang Xiao sized up the surroundings and praised softly, “Is this the world of the rich? This courtyard is even larger than my house!”

Zhou Xiruo chuckled when she heard this. “The Fang family can only be considered a medium-sized family in Kaiyang City. When you have the chance to visit those true large families, you’ll know what it means to be ‘rich’!”

Wang Xiao glanced at Zhou Xiruo and suddenly had a strange feeling.

At some point, Zhou Xiruo’s attitude towards him had slowly become much more lively. She would even argue with him from time to time.

With his status as a vassal lord, such a behavior was definitely impolite. However, Wang Xiao felt that it was more comfortable for them to interact as equals and as friends.

The two of them had already arrived at the venue. The appearance of the “golden couple” instantly attracted everyone’s attention.

“Wang Xiao!”

Tang Hengshan called out and jogged over. He looked at Wang Xiao and then at Zhou Xiruo and raised his eyebrows maliciously. “Did the two of you just come from a wedding?”

Before Wang Xiao could react, Han Bufan and Yang Fan also came over.

“I’ve long felt that something was wrong with the two of you!”

Han Bufan said sourly.

He had fallen in love with Zhou Xiruo at first sight a few years ago. Now that he saw the other party and Wang Xiao standing together, he immediately felt jealous.

Only then did Wang Xiao understand what was going on. Then, he smiled helplessly and said, “Don’t talk nonsense. There’s nothing going on between the two of us!”

When Zhou Xiruo heard this, an imperceptible hint of disappointment flashed across her face, but she still smiled at everyone generously.

“Wang Xiao! Zhou Xiruo! You’re finally here!”

As the few of them were chatting, Fang Tianyu, who was wearing an evening gown, walked over. The ice-blue fabric accentuated her temperament as an Ice Snow Goddess, but her figure was so hot that people could not take their eyes off her.

Behind Fang Tianyu were a few young lords who had fought alongside them in the base when the Crimson Star people invaded.

Previously, these people had all mocked Wang Xiao’s [Beast Tamer Lord] talent. However, after the invasion of the Crimson Star people, their attitude towards Wang Xiao had also changed greatly. They all greeted him warmly.

Although they had not seen each other since the lord competition, their previous life-and-death experience made them still familiar with each other when they met again.

Wang Xiao also returned the greetings to everyone. Amidst this peace, an untimely voice suddenly sounded, “To think that you’re all called geniuses. Why are you still so polite to a runner-up!”

Everyone turned around and saw Tian Qiang standing not far away, holding a drink and looking at everyone coldly.

The straightforward Tang Hengshan was the first to be unable to endure it. He took a step forward and shouted, “Tian Qiang! What do you mean?”

“Nothing much. I just feel that you’re not worthy of being called geniuses.”

Tian Qiang took a sip of his drink and his face was filled with pride. “I admit that Wang Xiao is a little smart, but don’t forget who the champion of the lord competition is!”

Zhou Xiruo’s expression darkened as she scolded coquettishly, “So what if you’re the champion? If not for us delaying the Crimson Star royal family, you might not even be alive now!”

...

“Well said!”

Tang Hengshan was the first to clap. The others also revealed gloating expressions.

The expression on Tian Qiang’s face froze, but he quickly returned to normal. “If not for the fact that so many lords previously exhausted the royal family of the Crimson Star, do you really think you can stall him?”

“At the end of the day, you’re just leeching from others! We’re all the same kind of people, so why are you still pretending to be noble in front of me?”
