Chaos Dao Sheng Jue
Chapter 396 Hu Chou
There are several first-rate families in Zhongzhou Taibai City, the most prominent of which are the Yan family, the Hu family, the Zhao family, and the Zhuge family, which are the number one chamber of commerce in the world.
The Su family, where Su Ruolan belongs, can only be considered a third-rate cultivation family in the huge Taibai City.
The Feiyu Chamber of Commerce, the world's number one chamber of commerce, is owned by the Yan family, and the Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce under the Hu family is not much inferior to the Feiyu Chamber of Commerce.
Especially after Yan Feiyu disappeared, the Yan family became even weaker.
If there were no Kuang Dao Xiao Tian's protection, the Yan family would probably no longer have a place in Beichen Continent.
As for the Hu family, ever since the death of Hu Shilong, the hope of the Hu family, the ancestor Hu Guangyi seemed to have a drastic change in temperament. He didn't pay much attention to the affairs of the Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce, and devoted himself to cultivation, living in seclusion.
The operation and management of Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce was handed over to his confidant Hu Guangsheng.
Hu Guangsheng is a direct descendant of the Hu family. Naturally, other people dare not have any objection to such an arrangement. As long as the ancestor is alive, the Hu family will not be in chaos. This is something everyone knows.
In a separate courtyard of the Hu family compound, Xia Ji was leaning against the head of the bed, looking at the baby who was born not long ago next to her with tenderness and love in her eyes.
This baby was conceived when she was with Hu Shilong and was born just a few days ago.
The little guy is fast asleep at this moment. He has delicate features and looks quite like Hu Shilong when he was a child. He is very well-behaved and cute.
It is said that only when one has children does one understand the kindness of his parents. At this moment, Xia Ji is becoming more and more like an ordinary mother.
She had forgotten all the hatred and desires from before, and now she just wanted her child to grow up happily.
But when Xia Ji saw that she and her child were the only ones in the huge room, she suddenly felt very lonely.
Because of her pregnancy, Hu Guangyi had already ordered that Xia Ji was not allowed to leave the villa.
So for the past few months, she has been almost in captivity.
Whenever it was late at night and everyone was asleep, Xia Ji felt more and more empty and lonely.
To be honest, sometimes she herself doesn't know whether what she is doing is right or wrong.
Logically speaking, although he did not destroy the Hu family, he destroyed the family's hopes and caused Hu Guangyi to suffer the pain of losing his son. This could be considered as revenge, and he should be happy.
But every time I think of what Hu Shilong said before he died: "Hey...actually I really like you a little bit."
My heart was always in pain, and I was so angry that I sneered at Hu Shilong's words.
But now that I think about it, Hu Shilong is such a proud person, and he is about to die, so his words are kind, it is impossible that he would say those words for no reason.
Could it be that he really fell in love with me after a long time?
Thinking of this, Xia Ji shed silent tears in her eyes.
At this time, a female monk dressed in light blue maid's clothes, with her head lowered, holding a tray with a small bowl on the tray. The bowl was filled with an unknown brown liquid, and she was walking into the room tremblingly.
"Xiao Cui! Didn't I tell you? I don't need you to take care of me at night."
Xia Ji saw a female monk dressed as a maid walking in with her head lowered, saying with an unhappy look on her face.
Since her maid Xiao Taohong might have heard her talking in her sleep, Xia Ji was extra careful.
From then on, maids were no longer allowed to stay in their rooms at night.
However, the maid paused noticeably when she heard this, but did not answer, and continued to walk forward with the tray.
"Xiao Cui! What's wrong with you? Do you dare not listen to what I say?"
Seeing that the maid was unmoved by her orders, Xia Ji scolded her coldly.
Then a force surged out from his body, and the powerful force caused the maid named Xiao Cui to take several steps back.
On the tray, the liquid in the small bowl swayed back and forth and almost spilled out.
After steadying herself, the maid continued to move towards the bed with the tray in her hand.
Xia Ji couldn't help but frown at the unusual situation. She immediately realized that something was wrong and her spiritual sense quickly extended out.
When Xia Ji saw the maid's appearance clearly, her face suddenly changed. She looked at the person in horror and said in panic:
"You...you...are you a human or a ghost? Aren't you dead?"
Because what he saw with his spiritual sense was that this maid was not Xiao Cui, but Xiao Taohong, the maid who served her before.
Because Xiao Taohong might have overheard Xia Ji's secret, Xia Ji discovered that Xiao Taohong had fled Hu's house the next day.
This made Xia Ji realize that something was wrong, and she quickly made up a story that Xiao Taohong had stolen her things and was absconding for fear of being punished.
He immediately sent people to hunt down Xiao Taohong, but the news he received was that Xiao Taohong was already dead. How could she appear in his room now?
Perhaps because Xia Ji's words irritated the maid Xiao Taohong, Xiao Taohong no longer concealed herself, raised her head directly, and said sarcastically:
"Thank you for your concern, Master. I am lucky, so I came back to serve you. Please drink this bowl of medicine!"
After Xia Ji confirmed that the maid in front of her was really Xiao Taohong, she immediately realized that the truth might have been exposed.
A vicious look flashed in his eyes, and he raised his hand and shot a stream of true energy towards Xiao Taohong. In the dim room, a golden beam of true energy flew towards Xiao Taohong like lightning.
Seeing this, Xiao Taohong was immediately frightened and panicked. You know, she was only at the initial stage of foundation building, how could she possibly withstand the attack from her master.
However, just as Xia Ji's attack was approaching Xiao Taohong, a figure appeared in front of Xiao Taohong like a ghost.
The man just raised his right hand slightly, and easily resolved Xia Ji's attack, then looked at Xia Ji on the bed coldly.
"Ancestor... Ancestor?" After Xia Ji saw the person clearly with her spiritual sense, she immediately felt creepy.
Because the person who came was none other than the leader of Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce and ancestor of the Hu family, Hu Guangyi.
"Thank you, Grandpa, for saving me..." Xiao Taohong was about to express her gratitude to Hu Guangyi for saving her,
Before he could finish his words, a flash of fire suddenly appeared before his eyes, and in the blink of an eye he was engulfed by the flames.
Without even the chance to scream, Xiao Taohong turned into ashes.
"Bangdang..."
The cup fell to the ground with a clanging sound.
Xia Ji felt her scalp tingling when she saw this. Looking at the old ancestor's cold eyes, her heart skipped a beat. It seemed that she was doomed today.
I was thinking quickly in my mind how to escape death.
"Why? Why did you kill my son Hu Shilong?"
Hu Guangyi looked down at Xia Ji with a blank expression on his face, but with complicated eyes, and asked indifferently.
However, Xia Ji did not respond to Hu Guangyi's words. From the moment Xiao Taohong appeared, she knew that there was no point in arguing further.
Now the only thing she couldn't bear to part with was her newborn baby, and no one even had a name for him.
Seeing that Xia Ji ignored him, Hu Guangyi raised his hand and sent out a stream of true energy to cover Xia Ji.
True energy quickly entered Xia Ji's sea of consciousness, followed by spiritual wisdom, which used the soul-searching technique to read her memory.
Xia Ji also showed a painful expression, and Hu Guangyi took back his true energy after a while.
What he didn't expect was that the death of his son Hu Shilong was actually caused by Xia Ji's revenge after he destroyed the Xia family.
From Xia Ji's memory, Hu Guangyi saw that his son Hu Shilong was seriously injured by the cultivator named Lu Chen and was recovering from his injuries.
Then Xia Ji appeared, and later her son committed suicide by cutting his heart because of Xia Ji's words.
Through his memory, Hu Guangyi saw his son's appearance again, and he couldn't help but burst into tears, and then a strong murderous intent appeared in his eyes.
"Wow...wow..."
Perhaps sensing Hu Guangyi's murderous intent, the baby on the bed suddenly burst into tears.
Seeing this, Xia Ji didn't care what the outcome would be for her. She picked up the child and began to comfort him softly.
When Hu Guangyi saw this, his expression softened a lot, but he felt mixed emotions in his heart. Xia Ji's life and death depended on his one thought.
The baby soon stopped crying after being comforted by Xia Ji. At this time, Xia Ji stared at the ancestor of the Hu family, as if she was willing to kill him or chop him up as he pleased.
The two looked at each other for more than ten seconds, and Hu Guangyi suddenly asked calmly:
"Is it a boy? Or a girl?"
"Uh...reply...reply to the ancestor, it's...it's a boy!"
When Xia Ji heard this, she thought she had misheard and didn't know why the ancestor suddenly asked this.
"Hey... let's just call him Hu Qianchou! I hope he will have no sorrow or resentment in the future."
Hu Guangyi sighed lightly.
After saying that, his figure flashed and disappeared directly in the room...
