Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 1262: Chapter 417: Yanze Lake and Blood Miasma Plain, Wang Yuxiu, The Resurgence of the Xiang Family (Part 3)

Xia Chuan, upon hearing this, his expression immediately became more solemn, and he nodded heavily and said, "Don’t worry, big brother, I will definitely order each department to strictly discipline the people below!"

"Since we know that Chen Cang can’t head south for a short time, we must seize this window period to enhance the strength of the camp as much as possible. I will start my retreat now, so Xia City will be handed over to you. If there are no important matters recently, don’t disturb me."

"As you command!"

Xia Chuan immediately clasped his hands in agreement, his face showing excitement. He knew Li Xuanling was about to break through, and Great Xia would soon have its fourth Xianyang Level.

"What’s going on with Xiang Liang?"

Xia Hong was about to leave when he suddenly sensed a Silver Order Prison Warden standing outside the hall. Realizing it was Xiang Liang, he immediately asked curiously.

Xia Chuan also noticed and promptly spoke, "Last month, when Chu Yan’er and her group came from the north bank of the Xing River, they seemed to have deliberately resorted to tricks to associate with Xiang Liang. Chu Yan’er was able to sneak into the Inner City tonight because of Xiang Liang’s recommendation. He is probably standing there to admit his guilt and is afraid I will punish him."

Given Chu Yan’er’s strength and methods, it was normal for Xiang Liang to be manipulated. Xia Hong shook his head slightly, said nothing more, and directly left the Prison Hall.

Seeing Xia Hong leave, Xia Chuan also walked out directly, looking at Xiang Liang, who was standing inside the hall with a worried expression, shook his head and walked towards him.

......

"Sister-in-law, the food is ready. Come down and eat quickly!"

Inner City, Xiang Mansion

Xiang Rong, who had just finished cooking, first called upstairs, then turned and saw her second brother, Xiang Yan, already starting to sneak some food, and she immediately crossed her arms and scolded angrily, "Second brother, if you keep stealing food, I swear I’ll tell mom when I get back, then you’ll never be allowed to stay at big brother’s house again."

Xiang Yan immediately put down his chopsticks and quickly swallowed the vegetables in his mouth, looking at his sister with a cheeky smile, "Rong’er, don’t be mad, I just returned from hunting outside, and I’m really hungry. I promise I won’t eat another bite from now until big brother comes back for dinner, okay?"

"No need to wait. Your big brother is doing errands in the Outer City, who knows when he’ll be back. The three of us can eat directly!"

A gentle voice came from upstairs, and Xiang Rong and Xiang Yan quickly stood up, turning to look upstairs.

On the second floor, a pretty-faced, pregnant woman in a blue dress, supported by two maids, slowly descended the stairs and took a seat.

The woman in blue was none other than Wang Yuxiu, eldest daughter of Wang Chuan, former leader of Lower River Village in Qinghepu.

As someone from Lower River Village, Wang Yuxiu was undoubtedly lucky. At the end of April, almost everyone controlled by Dajue Temple had consumed the Primordial Soul Pill and recited the Rebirth Mantra, losing their lives in the end.

Only Lower River Village was spared because the Xia Army had already controlled it that night, causing all 50,000 villagers to unexpectedly survive.

Wang Yuxiu was one of them. Now that Dajue Temple had not only been destroyed but also thoroughly exposed during the final battle in Bashang, naturally, Wang Yuxiu and the rest from Lower River Village would never believe in them again.

It could be said to be a blessing in disguise. Those 50,000 people from Lower River Village were Great Xia’s first incorporated population after they moved east from the north bank of the Xing River. Following the principle of first come, first served, compared to the over one hundred thousand people later incorporated from Bashang, these 50,000 people not only appreciated Great Xia’s life-saving grace but also lacked the psychological burden carried by the Town City people, thus quickly integrating into Great Xia, now living quite well.

Undoubtedly, Wang Yuxiu was the most fortunate one.

Her father, Wang Chuan, and her third brother, Wang Yuwen, were already dead. When Wang Yuxiu initially came to Xia City, she was in a dazed state. Upon learning of Xiang Liang’s undercover identity, she believed Xiang Liang had no feelings for her, having just acted as part of the scheme to infiltrate Lower River Village.

With that notion, she never sought out Xiang Liang, thinking it would be enough to live quietly in Xia City to the end.

Who would have thought that Xiang Liang would find her immediately after returning from Wuyuan in mid-May, and directly express his intention to marry her?

Wang Yuxiu was deeply attached to Xiang Liang’s feelings, realizing her previous thoughts were wrong and that Xiang Liang didn’t just play along in Lower River Village. She was moved to tears and realized she had found her support.

She hadn’t yet realized how fortunate she was to marry Xiang Liang.

With the tremendous credit from his covert operation at Dajue Temple, Xiang Liang was granted a Ninth-Rank Xuanling Marquis title in early May. One must know that he was only 24 years old this year, an age to earn a noble title, already causing quite a stir, not to mention his superior Battle Body qualification and Cold Resistance Level cultivation.

No exaggeration; upon returning to Xia City mid-May, there were no fewer than hundreds of people proposing to Xiang Liang, almost breaking his doorstep, with many being prestigious daughters of Xia City.

Yet, under these circumstances, Xiang Liang chose to marry someone of shallow background and no foundation as herself, imagine Wang Yuxiu’s heartfelt appreciation at the time.

The key was that Xiang Liang’s father, Xiang Ping, his mother, Zhou Ying, even his brother Xiang Yan and sister Xiang Rong opposed none of this, making it all the more precious.

Not to mention that Great Xia’s living quality far surpassed Lower River Village, Wang Yuxiu married at the end of May, by now, her child was over four months along. Thanks to marrying Xiang Liang, she not only lived in the Inner City but immediately gained the title of ninth-grade lady upon marrying, furnished with two maids to care for her daily needs. Few neighbors, even residents within the Inner City, don’t envy her.
