My wife who comes from a wealthy family
Chapter 449 - 450: The Choice of the Xia Family

Chapter 449: Chapter 450: The Choice of the Xia Family

"Utterly arrogant!" Qin Qi’s eyes blazed with fire as he said, "Brat, if you can finish me off with a single slash, I’m willing to give up my stake in the Xia Family Blood Mine!"

"Elder Qin Qi, this is not advisable!"

"If you withdraw, wouldn’t that mean the Xia Family Blood Mine will fall into this thief’s hands?" Many martial artists from the Qin family were anxious.

"Hmph, whether this kid can break through my Gang Qi is another matter entirely," Qin Qi said with an air of arrogance.

"As you wish!" Ye Wudao swung his blade towards Qin Qi, the dark red light of the blade carrying a devastatingly malevolent aura.

"Lion Gang!"

Qin Qi roared furiously, his entire being resembling a majestic lion, his hair standing on end like steel needles, forming an unbreakable protective aura around him!

Boom!

An alarming clash resounded as two war king-level powers collided.

"This kid’s swordsmanship is incredibly formidable, a casual slash possesses such divine power!" Qin Qi’s face changed dramatically; he immediately activated his full strength, frantically swirling his Lion Gang Qi.

"Brat, you’ll never break through my Lion Gang Qi! This is one of the top three protective Gang Qi techniques of the Qin Family!" Qin Qi saw his aura reinforced and wore a look of triumph.

"Is that so?" Ye Wudao’s lips slightly curved upwards.

And in that instant, the blade’s light exploded like a blazing sun, shattering Qin Qi’s Gang Qi completely under this overwhelming force.

"No, no, this can’t be possible!" Qin Qi’s pupils shrunk, and in the next moment, his body was violently blasted away by the force of the blade’s explosion.

"Pfft!" Qin Qi spewed out blood, his body slamming hard against the ground, severely injured.

The entire arena was shocked!

"My God, Elder Qin Qi is seriously injured!"

"Holy shit, this young man just one-shotted Elder Qin Qi!"

"That’s terrifying!" Everyone present drew a sharp breath.

"Elder Qin Qi, how are you feeling?" A close confidant came over, helping Qin Qi up.

"Cough, cough..." Qin Qi held his injured abdomen, his face deathly pale as he said, "This young man is extremely powerful, probably on the pinnacle of the second-grade war kings!"

With that, Qin Qi’s gaze turned towards Ye Wudao, saying, "Boy, you’re strong! The Xia Family Blood Mine is yours for now, but whether you can keep it depends on how big your life is!"

After speaking, Qin Qi called out, "Retreat!"

Soon, all the Qin family experts guarding the Xia Family Blood Mine had withdrawn!

"On behalf of the entire Xia family, as well as all the workers here, I thank you, senior, for your life-saving grace..." The Family Head of the Xia family approached, preparing to kneel down.

Many people on scene also expressed their gratitude.

"Don’t mention it, it’s a minor matter; Family Head Xia, please rise." Ye Wudao extended his hand, releasing an invisible force that instantly lifted the Family Head.

From the side, Xia Wuwei hurriedly said with gratitude, "Brother, you’re too impressive, snatching back our Xia family’s Blood Mine from the hands of the Qin family!"

"Nonsense!" The Family Head of the Xia family scolded, "This Xia Family Blood Mine isn’t ours any longer; it now belongs to the senior personally!"

"What? Dad, are you mistaken?" Xia Wuwei looked bewildered.

However, the Family Head was not a fool. On the contrary, he was very clever!

"Wuwei, Ye Wudao is nothing like he used to be. Since he was able to snatch food from the tiger’s mouth of the Qin family, how could he possibly return the rich prize he has gained back to the Xia family?" The Family Head whispered.

"But sister is with him..."

Just as Xia Wuwei was about to speak, the Family Head interjected, "What kind of mighty expert is he? Even the war king-level masters of the Qin family are no match for him. To such a man, a woman is but a pile of clothes. If he likes one, he wears it; if not, it stays in the closet forever!"

Hearing the Family Head’s words, Xia Wuwei looked at Ye Wudao and felt an inexplicable chill.

His father’s warning was right!

Indeed!

He had foolishly regarded Ye Wudao as the same person he was in the past!

Thinking about it now, this thought was insanely naive!

Today’s Ye Wudao had ascended to the pinnacle of Dragon Country’s pyramid of martial artists!

As effortless as slaughtering chickens when facing war spirits!

Even a war king like Elder Qin Qi had been defeated!

With such an existence, could the Xia family even dare to negotiate terms?

They simply weren’t qualified!

Ye Wudao watched Xia Wuwei’s constrained expression and smiled slightly. With his current strength, he could hear every word of their conversation.

The Family Head bowed with his hands clasped together and said, "Senior, as long as you can provide a livelihood for the hundreds of people under the Xia family, I will be forever grateful!"

All eyes were fixed on Ye Wudao, waiting for his response.

Ye Wudao said with a light smile, "Hehe, I’m not interested in this blood mine! I promised Shiqi I’d help your Xia family, how could I take it for myself?"

What?

Upon hearing Ye Wudao’s words, the Xia family was thrown into an uproar!

"Holy shit, this extremely young senior actually isn’t interested in our Xia family’s blood mine?"

"Such magnanimity, like the sea!"

All the Xia family members were excitedly moved.

Hearing Ye Wudao’s words, Xia Shiqi’s face also revealed a sweet smile.

The Family Head of the Xia family’s smile flashed across his face and with a shake of his head, he said, "Senior Ye, there’s a good saying; an innocent man holds guilt by possessing a gem. Our Xia family is weak, and although this blood mine appears on our land, we can’t defend it. If you don’t take it over, others will covet it!"

The words of the Family Head of the Xia family reminded Ye Wudao.

"Young master, this Family Head is quite clever!"

"His words ring true!" Knife Crazy, Liu Kuangsheng, and others nodded in agreement.

Ye Wudao nodded, and after a moment of thought, he said with a slight smile, "Alright then! I’ll take seventy percent, and thirty percent will go to your Xia family!"

Boom!

Upon hearing this news, the Family Head and others were shocked, then waved their hands again and again, "No, no, this simply won’t do! Our Xia family doesn’t deserve thirty percent, we don’t even deserve ten percent!"

Ye Wudao said with a faint smile, "That’s decided, Wuwei and your Xia family’s martial artists also need resources for cultivation!"

Ye Wudao’s words profoundly touched the father and son of the Xia family.

"Old Ye, great brother, for a lifetime!" Xia Wuwei was moved, tears welling in his eyes.

"Our Xia family will definitely exhaust every effort to serve Senior Ye, before and after!" The Family Head of the Xia family clasped his hands in a promise.

Just then, two figures sneaked away from the crowd.

"Stop!" Xia Wuwei bellowed.

The two turned around — it was Xia Li and Xia Erwa who had pledged allegiance to the Qin family.

Both of them put on smiles uglier than cries, Xia Li’s voice trembling, "Big young master, we, we were wrong! Please, please spare us!"

"Big young master, it was all Xia Li who instigated it, I would never dare covet your place!" Xia Erwa knelt on the ground, shivering.

"You two treacherous traitors, faithless and honorless, betraying family for glory, today, I will kill you!" Xia Wuwei picked up a knife and swung it fiercely.

Soon, the two lay in a pool of blood.

Seeing this scene, everyone in the venue cheered loudly; "Good riddance!"

"They deserved it!"

"Big cousin, this is a bottle of Ling’e Pills, enough to last you until you advance to the level of Battle Spirit!" Ye Wudao took out a bottle of pills and threw it directly to Xia Wuwei.

Xia Wuwei cradled the bottle of pills, overwhelmed with excitement, and hastily thanked him.

Beside them, the Family Head of the Xia family was touched and murmured, "Our Xia family will also have a Battle Spirit level martial artist."

At that moment, an unexpected change occurred, a terrifying boom emanated from the blood mine, like the roar of a fierce beast.

Boom!

The whole earth trembled incessantly, as if the land itself was furious.

"It’s over, it must be that our mining has caused a curse from the heavens!"

"Let’s run!" Many miners fled in terror.

Ye Wudao narrowed his eyes, asking, "What’s going on?"

"Senior Ye, you don’t know! A few days ago, there was a collapse in the blood mine, and rumors started that we had violated a taboo..." The Family Head said, his face full of fear.

"What taboo?" Ye Wudao asked curiously.

"Our ancestors set a family precept that we must not dig the blood mine privately; otherwise, we would suffer divine retribution!" The Family Head continued, "We didn’t believe it at first, but after a few thousand people died last time, many are afraid to mine."

Just then, that terrifying sound came again.

"Young master, what should we do now?"

"Could it really be divine retribution? Maybe we should just leave this Xia family blood mine alone." Knife Crazy and the others suggested.

Ye Wudao hesitated, undecided.

To be honest, he didn’t believe in any divine retribution!

He was curious about the mysterious noise in the blood mine, but his primary purpose for coming to the Capital City was to attend the royal family’s suitor selection and take Su Yueli away.

Personal safety comes first.

Just then, a familiar voice said, "It’s not any bloody divine retribution, it’s just some beasts causing trouble in the mining tunnels!"
