Chapter 2959: Chapter 2960: Return

Shu Jingchu quickly came forward.

"Xue... oh, who is this little girl? So cute!"

Stars appeared in Shu Jingchu’s eyes as she reached out to pinch Nezha’s cheek.

At this moment, Nezha’s appearance and physique resembled that of an eight or nine-year-old girl.

Especially that chubby little face, which was simply irresistible for someone like Shu Jingchu who loved cute things.

Nezha was about to explode with anger.

Little girl?

This woman actually called me a little girl?

Back in the Heavenly Court, Nezha hated being mistaken for a girl the most.

Anyone who dared to say that would have definitely faced Nezha’s wrath.

However, the long imprisonment for thousands of years had made Nezha’s temper more mature.

He slightly dodged Shu Jingchu’s "claws," then coldly retorted.

"I’m not a little girl, and please show some respect!"

"Oh my, why does someone so young have such an old-fashioned tone? Call me sister, not lady!" Shu Jingchu said excitedly, not paying any attention.

Nezha’s brows furrowed noticeably.

He really disliked this feeling.

At that moment, Xue An calmly said from the side, "Alright Jingchu, stop fussing. He’s not a girl but a deity I rescued from the secret prison in Senluo Valley!"

Shu Jingchu’s eyes widened upon hearing this.

"He’s the deity you went through all the trouble to rescue?"

"Yes! Is there anything wrong with that?"

Shu Jingchu was full of astonishment.

She thought the deity worth all Xue An’s efforts must be a top-notch strong figure.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be... a delicately-featured child!

This immense psychological gap rendered Shu Jingchu momentarily speechless.

Clearly, Nezha noticed her surprise too, proudly lifting his head with a sense of self-satisfaction.

Hmph!

Silly woman, just dared to underestimate me, now you see my power, don’t you!

Of course, this thought was fleeting.

But Xue An still keenly sensed this subtle moment, finding it quite amusing.

This Nezha, despite his age, experience, and fame, might be considered my senior.

Previously in the secret prison, he behaved very appropriately.

But upon emerging, he showed his youthful side.

Like this current sulking scene, leaving Xue An half amused and half helpless.

It seems the ancient mythologies are true; this Nezha really is quite childlike!

Just then, Wu Shaobei hurriedly ran over.

"Mr. Xue, you’re back!"

Xue An nodded slightly.

"I knew, Mr. Xue, considering your auspicious nature, that you’d certainly overcome obstacles and achieve your goals smoothly!"

Wu Shaobei said a whole stream of flattering words, and Xue An understood the reason for his attitude.

There’s no need to criticize, it’s human nature after all.

So Xue An smiled lightly, "Now that Senluo Valley is all but obliterated, do you have any suggestions on how to proceed?"

Wu Shaobei trembled, knowing the main event was here, and immediately responded.

"Of course, it should all belong to you, Mr. Xue!"

Xue An shook his head, "Stop with the formalities, you know I can’t stay here to handle this mess. Get straight to the point!"

Wu Shaobei was actually waiting for Xue An’s words, so he nodded and spoke.

"If that’s the case, I’ll be bold enough to say a few words!"

"Senluo Valley, having operated for many generations, has amassed an incredible amount of wealth. Now that you’ve eradicated those riff-raffs, naturally, it’s all yours. But as you’ve said, you can’t stay here to deal with the mess. So how about this?"

"I have some competent people under me who can help safeguard this place, and you only need to leave a tenth of the wealth. Moreover, Senluo Valley will still be your domain, and you can come and take control anytime!"

"Two-tenths then!" Xue An suddenly said.

"Hmm?" Wu Shaobei was a bit taken aback.

He had prepared to negotiate.

Because even a tenth, given Senluo Valley’s significant scale, would be an unimaginable fortune.

In fact, Wu Shaobei’s limit was to ask for none of the wealth, just for the opportunity to safeguard the place.

After all, Senluo Valley’s location is a rare paradise.

Just its land alone is worth billions.

But Xue An unexpectedly was so generous, not only agreeing but doubling the amount.

"The amount of wealth means nothing to me; I just don’t want the Sect that once harmed my Hua Clan’s deity to continue existing. Do you understand?" Xue An said calmly.

Wu Shaobei quickly nodded.

"Then that’s good, tidy up the mess, and then return to the Wu Family!"

Having said that, Xue An turned and left.

Watching his departing figure, Wu Shaobei felt that this is what a true leader is like!

Then he said loudly, "You heard Mr. Xue entrusting such an important task to us; we must do our best to live up to his intentions!"

"Yes!"

The whole place was suddenly bustling, with the Wu Family members getting busy.

Counting the wealth, tidying up the aftermath.

After everything was sorted, two hours had passed.

Wu Shaobei left a trusted deputy to guard the place, then personally accompanied Xue An back.

He needed to quickly recruit a batch of skilled individuals to fill the empty defenses here.

At the same time that Xue An and his group were returning to the Wu Family.

Above the Wu Family’s headquarters, under everyone’s gaze, Yang Mufeng held a silver-white metallic strap.

At the end of the strap was Wu Nianyin.

He was bound into a twist by the strap made of some unknown metal, suspended in mid-air, glaring at Yang Mufeng.

The other Wu Family members were wary and dared not approach.

Yang Mufeng boredly looked at Wu Nianyin.

"Speak or not speak?"

"Heh, Mr. Xue has been very kind to me, I will never speak, kill me if you dare!" Wu Nianyin sneered, closed his eyes, and prepared to meet his fate.

But Yang Mufeng obviously didn’t intend to kill him, instead, he laughed.

"Who said I wanted to kill you?"

"Actually, even if you don’t say, I could guess, that Xue An went out to handle something, right? Will he come back soon?"

Wu Nianyin opened his eyes in shock, not knowing how Yang Mufeng could have guessed.

Yang Mufeng smirked, "Don’t look at me like that, I just guessed randomly, and by the way, I’m not going to kill you, I’m waiting here for him to return!"

Saying that, Yang Mufeng pulled the metallic strap and landed on the ground.

In front of him was the memorial hall for Wu Nianyin’s father.

Yang Mufeng didn’t mind, stepping right into the hall.

At that moment, a small figure blocked the entrance of the hall.

"Release my brother!"
