Chapter 127 Xiao Yu is really in a terrible situation! He's practically broke!
"Sigh..." Everyone shook their heads speechlessly.
Everyone knows how the city lord treats those commoners; he doesn't even regard them as human beings!
They had originally hoped that the city lord would back down and bring Xiao Yu back.
But now... whenever something happens, they shift all the blame to the ordinary people.
As expected of their city lord!
"Then, niece Ruyan, how did you obtain these things? Could it be that this rebellious son has changed his mind about you?" After regaining his composure, Xiao Ting suddenly thought of something, a hint of expectation in his eyes.
If this rebellious son truly changes his mind, he might consider reinstating him as the young city lord.
Upon hearing this, both Feng Murong and Xiao Tian's expressions changed drastically.
Feng Murong's eyes shone with hope, anticipating that her eldest son would change his mind.
That way... not only will mother and child be reunited, but she can also enjoy this exquisite cuisine every day.
Xiao Tian, on the other hand, felt apprehensive and uneasy.
If that guy really changes his mind, Liu Ruyan will definitely abandon him!
At that time... he will replace Xiao Yu and become the new joke in Yan City!
"Ha! You've been disappointed..."
Liu Ruyan gave a wry smile, shook her head, and said, "Xiao Yu runs a stall in Divine Weapon City. Like everyone else, I bought from him using energy stones. And... these things aren't cheap; a single corn cob costs a hundred energy stones..."
As she spoke, she recounted how much she had bought and the price of the goods.
She felt ashamed to spend a lot of money to buy things from her ex.
"What? How could that unfilial son treat you like this? We are all his family. We asked him for something, and he actually wanted to pay us?" Upon hearing this, Xiao Ting became furious.
With hundreds of thousands of energy stones, he felt he had already made a profit by buying so many top-quality goods!
But... what he really wanted was for that kid to give it to them for free.
After all... what kind of parents would eat their son's food and then expect to pay him? Is that reasonable?
"Uncle Xiao, you can't say that..."
Liu Ruyan took a deep breath, risking being slapped to death by Xiao Ting, and gritted her teeth as she said:
"When Xiao Yu was seriously injured and in his most critical moment, you, as his parents, abandoned him. Now... he is in dire need of energy stones. Shouldn't you do something to make amends?"
"What did you say? Hiss~" Xiao Ting became even angrier.
Has this girl lost her mind?
He actually dared to openly contradict me, just like that rebellious son?
Doesn't she ever think about how she treated Xiao Yu back then?
But... just as Xiao Ting was about to roar, he felt another piercing pain in his waist.
Even though he was an eighth-level Thunder Awakener with a powerful physical body, he still couldn't withstand this death spin!
"Honey, I was wrong!"
In the end, Xiao Ting could only beg for mercy unwillingly.
then.
The small hand that had been frantically twisting around his waist slowly loosened its grip.
The group of high-ranking officials present all pretended not to see it.
Liu Ruyan watched this scene with her eyes closed and her mind at ease.
She was somewhat apprehensive in the face of her short-tempered Uncle Xiao.
As a result... he instantly wilted upon meeting Aunt Xiao...
She could only sigh... indeed, there's always someone who can overcome something!
"Ruyan is right!" Feng Murong glared at Xiao Ting before looking at Liu Ruyan with a complicated expression and sighing, "Alas... we really owe that child too much..."
"Ahem~ Aunt Xiao, it's all over now!"
Feeling a little guilty under her gaze, Liu Ruyan coughed twice and said, "As you know, Xiao Yu is currently rebuilding a new power, which is already resource-scarce, and he also has to support a large number of people. Therefore... he had no choice but to offer extremely rare vegetables and water in exchange..."
Upon hearing this, everyone present nodded.
Starting a business from scratch is extremely difficult.
When Yan City was first built, although their leaders were very powerful, they still lived a miserable life.
Despite Yancheng's decline, it still has a solid foundation built up over the years.
If you have such good things, there's no reason to sell them. Wouldn't it be better to keep them for yourself?
This only proves that Xiao Yu is truly desperate for money!
"Uncle Xiao! Aunt Xiao! To be honest, Xiao Yu is in a really bad situation right now..."
Seeing everyone nod, Liu Ruyan began to persuade them, "If you are willing to lend a helping hand and provide a few million energy stones, he will definitely change his mind."
Just think about it, if he brings Dragon City back to Flame City, all those good things....
"Hiss~ Niece Ruyan, what you say makes sense!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ting's mind immediately became active.
If that kid can really return to Yan City...
The glowing tree was his, and so was the pet behemoth, which was comparable to an eighth-tier beast.
In short... all those treasures are his now...
"Uncle Xiao, Aunt Xiao...look at these!" Liu Ruyan clapped her hands gently, and a group of subordinates pushed in several carts, which were filled with hundreds of vegetable seedlings and dozens of water bottles.
"These are seedlings of vegetables such as corn, tomatoes, and cabbage, as well as plenty of clear water. Xiao Yu has already mastered the method of cultivating large quantities of vegetables... As long as we can win him back, our Yan City will have an endless supply of delicious vegetables and an inexhaustible water source!"
Compared to that, a mere few million energy stones are nothing...
Liu Ruyan bought quite a lot of things from Longcheng, but she didn't take them all out.
Instead, he took out a little bit each time, just to give Xiao Ting a bigger shock at crucial moments.
really...
As soon as she took out these items, everyone present widened their eyes again.
The value of finished products and seedlings is vastly different.
After all... no matter how delicious those corn, tomatoes, and cabbages are, they're gone once you've eaten them.
But now... with these seedlings, new vegetables can be continuously cultivated.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Ting's eyes lit up instantly, and without hesitation, he declared righteously, "Niece Ruyan is right! As Yu'er's father, I must give her my full support as she strives to make her way in the world!"
"That's right!"
Feng Murong smiled and nodded slightly, saying, "Yu'er is my most outstanding son. Whatever he wants to do, a mother should naturally support him."
Xiao Tian, who was standing to the side, immediately looked constipated.
He is your best son, so what am I?
"Uncle Xiao! Aunt Xiao! You are both so understanding and righteous, Xiao Yu will surely understand your good intentions!" Upon hearing their promise, Liu Ruyan was overjoyed.
Although... Yan City is now on the decline.
However... only Yan City's inventory is short of money.
Xiao Ting and his wife are both elemental awakeners, among the best of the eighth-tier powerhouses.
Their private treasury alone must be incredibly impressive.
If you want to support Xiao Yu, it shouldn't be difficult to easily take out a few million energy stones.
