A Thousand Years Like A Dream
As the two walked out of the Shui Family, the surrounding crowd cast mocking gazes at them.
They had more or less heard about what happened in the main hall of the Shui Family, but hearing and seeing were two completely different things.
Seeing Chu Xingyun appear with Shui Liu Xiang, they all laughed, their laughter filled with disdain.
A toad to a frog, this saying was absolutely right!
A trash like Chu Xingyun should be matched with a lowly person like Shui Liu Xiang!
"Ignore them, let's go home." Chu Xingyun smiled lightly at Shui Liu Xiang, pulled her along, and directly faced the crowd's mocking words, without the slightest intention of escaping.
Chu Xingyun's residence was not in West Wind City, but in the town of Chu outside the city.
Although it was called a residence, it was more like a courtyard. It did not occupy a large area, with only a pitiful two or three rooms. It was completely empty, and there were no servants or maids in sight.
Sixteen years ago, the Chu family was not like this. It was a famous family in West Wind City, and even the City Lord's residence had to be courteous to them.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. Not long after Chu Xingyun was born, the Chu family was assassinated. The entire family suffered heavy casualties, and Chu Xingyun's mother also went missing.
In order to find his wife, Chu Xingyun's father left West Wind City, and never returned. No one knew if he was alive or dead.
Since then, the Chu family went into decline, and had no choice but to move to the town of Chu. Many of the family's properties, with Chu Xingyun's young age, were taken over by others.
In the end, only this courtyard was left for Chu Xingyun. His life was extremely poor.
The two words' Young Master ', without a doubt!
"I left in a hurry, so I did not clean up properly." Chu Xingyun looked at the courtyard overgrown with weeds, and scratched the back of his head in embarrassment.
"Brother Yun is willing to marry me, I am more than happy, why would I care about this." Shui Liu Xiang smiled. Her words were sincere. As long as she could be with Chu Xingyun, she would not complain no matter how hard it was.
Just as the two of them entered the courtyard, a skinny young man walked towards them. He was holding a large rooster in his hand. His face was bruised, and there were even a few bloodstains on his arm.
"Young Master, you're finally back. Today is your big day, so I stole a chicken and prepared to kill it and cook it for you to celebrate." The skinny young man chuckled. His face twitched in pain.
"Little Tiger, why are you doing this?" Chu Xingyun couldn't bring himself to be happy. Instead, he sighed.
This skinny young man was named Chu Hu. He had grown up in the Chu Family and depended on Chu Xingyun for survival.
Today, Chu Xingyun woke up and found that Tiger Chu was gone. The whole courtyard was empty and lifeless.
At that time, Chu Xingyun thought that Tiger Chu couldn't take it anymore and had left the Chu Family to find another way out.
He never expected that Tiger Chu didn't leave. When he heard that Chu Xingyun went to the Shui Family to propose marriage, he went to steal a chicken to congratulate Chu Xingyun.
Needless to say, Chu Xingyun could guess the injuries on his body. He must have been beaten when he stole the chicken.
"Young Master, if it wasn't for the Chu Family taking me in, I would have starved to death on the streets. This little bit of suffering is nothing. For Young Master, even if I have to go through water and tread on fire, I won't hesitate." Tiger Chu said and was about to kneel down.
Chu Xingyun hurriedly held him up. His eyes were filled with gratitude. He smiled and said, "Today is a big day, so don't say such inauspicious things. Quickly kill the chicken and let's have a good meal."
"Okay!" Tiger Chu nodded and revealed a silly smile. He immediately brought the big rooster into the kitchen.
As for Chu Xingyun and Shui Liu Xiang, they didn't stay idle. They cleaned up the courtyard, took out the tables and chairs, and hung a big red lantern at the door. Although it was simple, the whole courtyard was filled with a festive atmosphere.
After eating to their heart's content, night fell. A round moon hung in the night sky, sprinkling down gentle moonlight.
Since it was the wedding day, Chu Xingyun and Shui Liu Xiang should have spent the night together and become husband and wife.
However, after dinner, Shui Liu Xiang rushed into the room with a red face and locked the door.
This scene made Chu Xingyun not know whether to laugh or cry.
He knew that Shui Liu Xiang was sincere to him. However, Shui Liu Xiang was still too young. She was only a fifteen-year-old girl and wasn't ready to do the deed between a man and a woman.
"Young Master." At this moment, Tiger Chu finished washing the dishes. He followed Chu Xingyun's gaze and looked at Shui Liu Xiang's room. He immediately revealed a meaningful smile and said, "I remember that there's a spare key in the warehouse. Do you want me to go get it for you?"
"You little rascal, do you think I'm that kind of person?" Chu Xingyun rolled his eyes at Tiger Chu and said in a low voice, "Little rascal, why are you still thinking about these things? Hurry up and go to sleep."
"Oh." Tiger Chu curled his lips and ran back to his room like a wisp of smoke.
Looking at Tiger Chu's back, Chu Xingyun shook his head in annoyance. However, this atmosphere made him feel very comfortable. It was like the warmth of a family.
After returning to his room, Chu Xingyun didn't immediately go to sleep. Instead, he sat cross-legged on the bed.
He took a deep breath, and his closed eyes suddenly opened. Between his eyebrows, a golden light blossomed. It condensed into a jade stone the size of a baby's fist, and fell into Chu Xingyun's hand.
Looking at this familiar jade stone, Chu Xingyun smiled sadly. He still felt that it was unbelievable.
Before today, he clearly remembered that he was cultivating on the peak of Heaven Spirit Mountain. When he was about to step into the Emperor realm, a long spear pierced through his chest and pierced through his heart.
The one who did it was Chu Xingyun's sworn brother, one of the top ten Martial Emperors, the Proud Sun Martial Emperor, Xiao Xingtian.
This person had met Chu Xingyun in the Endless Sea of Sin. At that time, Xiao Xingtian had been besieged by countless experts and had reached a dead end. It was Chu Xingyun who had saved him, helped him out, and healed him.
From then on, the two of them had similar interests and became sworn brothers. They roamed the True Spirit Continent together, entered the secret realms, killed powerful enemies, and seized secret treasures. Their friendship was even deeper than that of blood brothers.
But in the end, Xiao Xingtian betrayed Chu Xingyun and secretly ambushed him, killing him on the spot!
Before his death, Chu Xingyun still couldn't believe this fact. When he was shrouded in darkness, he opened his eyes again and was surprised to find that he had returned to the age of sixteen.
Thinking of this, Chu Xingyun fell into a distant memory.
He still remembered that in his previous life, after Chu Xingyun recovered from a serious illness, he hurriedly ran to the Shui Family and proposed marriage to Shui Qianyue. In the end, not only was he rejected by the Shui Family, but he was also heavily injured by Shui Chongxian and chased out of West Wind City.
At that time, Chu Xingyun almost thought that he was going to die. It was Shui Liu Xiang who helped him recover, found a place for him to live, and took care of him until he recovered.
It was also during that period of time that Chu Xingyun fell deeply in love with Shui Liu Xiang. The two left West Wind City, changed their names, and wandered in the Liuyun Dynasty, living a life of hardship.
At that time, although it was hard, they had each other, and their faces were filled with smiles of happiness.
But the good times didn't last long. They were unfortunately attacked by a beast tide. In order to protect Chu Xingyun, Shui Liu Xiang died tragically under the claws of the beast.
Chu Xingyun would never forget that scene, and it was deeply engraved in his mind.
After a narrow escape from death, Chu Xingyun managed to survive.
Although his talent was low, he relied on his keen sense of survival to roam the entire True Spirit Continent, obtaining many fortuitous encounters, and finally becoming the all-powerful Tyrant Martial Emperor.
