Chapter 97: Trained into a Pig

  Xiao Family, currently located in the prosperous area of the Imperial Capital, was formed by integrating Nalan Manor and the surrounding wealthy households. Those who were unwilling to leave were even evicted by the "Xiao Family Relocation Office". Moreover, under Xiao Xing Meng's proposal, the interior is extremely luxurious, with strange peaks and winding waters, beautiful pavilions and gardens, as well as various rare and exotic flowers and stones, planted trees and grass. Food, clothing, and other necessities all reached imperial standards, and could even be said to surpass them! People who knew Xiao Yan, such as Hai Lao and Ge Lao, looked down on this behavior with extreme disdain.

  People who indulge in pleasure at a young age will inevitably be unable to persist in their cultivation of vital energy. The Xiao family relies solely on Xiao Yan's rise, and yet this Xiao Xing Meng has such an attitude right after Xiao Yan left, it's really hard to become a great talent.

  Without mentioning the foundation and follow-up talent education, at least in terms of material conditions, the Xiao family has already reached the level of a first-class imperial family. And the methods and fighting skills left by Xiao Yan before he left have greatly increased the strength of many Xiao family disciples, suddenly making everyone in the Xiao family look like they're worth tens of millions, men and women with power become corrupt, this point is really true.

  That night, the main hall of the Xiao family was brightly lit, with people's voices loud and clear. The younger generation of the Xiao family gathered together again to drink and have a banquet. Xiao Xing Meng also invited the "Cai Hua Hong" dancer from the Imperial Capital to come and add to the excitement of the Xiao family's wine party.

  "I think of the Xiao family, originally just a small town in the Galactic Empire, but later suffered unjust disasters, everyone has been through a lot of hardships. Fortunately, after years of hard work, we have finally become the number one family in the empire! We've all made it through! Blessings to the Xiao family! Everyone can now enjoy themselves!"

  "Xiao Yan's younger brother is a genius, with his protection, our Xiao family will surely prosper even more. Everyone, for the sake of the Xiao family, let's toast!" Xiao Xing Meng raised a full cup of wine and shouted to the crowd below.

  "Xīng Mèng biǎo xiōng shuō dé zhèng shì, hē!"

  Translation: "Brother Xing Meng is absolutely right, cheers!"

  "Right, today we must get drunk and return home!"

  ………

  Regardless of gender, the young people in the Xiao family were all flushed with excitement, some had already become drunk and lost their senses. Since Xiao Xing Meng took over the Xiao family, there would be a small banquet every three days and a large one every five days, making these young people eat until they were plump and shiny. The requirements for cultivation were not very strict. Those guys in the Xiao family, who had enjoyed such good days, after one or two months, each and every one of them already looked like they were indulging in pleasure without a care in the world.

  Xiao Yan was the one who led them out of trouble, but his introverted personality and focus on cultivation made him uncommunicative with others. Xiao Yan also had no interest in enjoying life, and Xiao Ding's training was extremely harsh. But when Xiao Xing Meng arrived, he brought them a luxurious and decadent lifestyle, and this group of young people with weak willpower immediately became indulged in it.

  However, there were also those who remained sober. As for this matter, Xiao Yu still maintained her opposing opinion. In the years she spent at Canaan Academy, she deeply understood that relying on cultivation was the key to maintaining a family's prosperity.

  When the banquet was almost over, Xiao Yu finally found an opportunity to approach Xue Xing Meng when there were fewer people around and immediately went up to question him.

  "Xing Meng, as the temporary head of the Xiao family, are you being too indulgent? You only care about letting the Xiao family's children have fun every day, have you forgotten how Xiao Yan instructed you?" Xiao Yu could no longer bear to see the Xiao family decline like this. Many of the younger generation had become arrogant and domineering under Xing Meng's indulgence, and some were even causing trouble in the imperial capital every day. If not for Xiao Yu punishing a few of them, things might have been even more severe.

  Xiao Yu wore a simple green dress, which was out of place among the luxurious clothes of others, but her tall and perfect figure still stood out perfectly. Unfortunately, at this moment, her usually beautiful face was full of anger.

  "Huh? Sorry, I'm a bit drunk. Who are you?" Xiao Xing Meng stumbled towards Xiao Yu with a dazed expression, stopping just short of bumping into her before slowly opening his mouth to say: "Xiao Yu, isn't everything fine now? The winds are calm and the waves are still, everyone's tired and needs rest... Your younger brother Xiao Ning hasn't taken a concubine yet, right? I'll bring Xiao Ning... uh... to visit the Imperial Princess another day and propose on his behalf. Let's see if that old codger of an Emperor agrees or not. And while we're at it, I'll help you take a look around for someone suitable. You two siblings... uh... can get married together, and then our Xiao family will host another banquet, hahaha..."

  "You... humph!" Xiao Yu knew that Xiao Xing Meng was always just a sly and cunning person, his cultivation was only average, and he had only entered the inner courtyard of the Canaan Academy by relying on some tricks and luck. In her heart, she had always looked down on him, but she didn't expect that he would actually become the temporary head of the Xiao family and make such a mess of it. The Xiao family's children were all now lazy in their cultivation, only thinking about enjoying themselves, and every day they thought they were superior, causing trouble outside!

  "I'll take Xiao Yan's place and teach you a lesson today!" Xiao Yu Feng raised her hand, ready to slap the drunken Xiao Xing Meng right there.

  "Wait! Why is Sister Xiao Yu so excited?" Xiao Mei's speed was extremely fast, and as soon as her words fell, she took a step forward and arrived in front of Xiao Yu.

  At this time, Xiao Mei was wearing a white dress that wrapped around her curvaceous figure, looking more mature and sensual than two years ago. Paired with her perfect face, she exuded a charming and alluring aura.

  Xiao Mei had spent one more year in the inner courtyard than Xiao Yu, and with Xiao Xing Meng occasionally opening up small gaps, she was now the strongest under Xiao Yan in the Xiao family. It was also because of her support that Xiao Xing Meng was so unrestrained.

  "Xiao Mei!" Xiao Yu saw the arrival, her eyebrows furrowed. It was well-known that Xiao Mei and Xiao Xing Meng were a recognized couple. Xiao Yu was confident in dealing with Xiao Xing Meng easily, but not with Xiao Mei. So she had to put down her guard and persuade Xiao Mei: "You are also a member of the Xiao family, can't you just watch our Xiao family being messed up by this scoundrel? Now you should temporarily work together with me to manage the Xiao family, and let's wait for Xiao Yan to return and make decisions! I believe Xiao Yan wouldn't want the children of the Xiao family to become only pleasure-seeking young masters and ladies!"

  "I think this is fine, and what Xing Meng said makes sense too." Xiao Mei shook her head and spoke softly.

  "What kind of crap did that bastard feed you guys!" Xiao Yu couldn't help but shout loudly.

  "Ayue, you're so fierce, saying one thing and then hitting me. Who will dare to marry you in the future? Xiaomei, let's go somewhere else to continue drinking." Xiang Meng pretended to be a timid young man, holding onto Xiaomei's slender waist, pretending to be drunk and leaning on her warm body as he slowly left to find other members of the Xiao family, leaving behind an angry Ayue who was fuming with rage.

  Seeing his own sister about to explode, Xiao Ning comforted in a low voice: "Or, let's not care about it, when Xiao Yan returns, he will naturally make a decision. At this time, Xing Meng is temporarily acting as the head of the family and the manager of the Flame Alliance. Xiao Yan also said that the people of the Xiao family should listen to his words."

  "You little scoundrel! Did you hear that Xing Meng, that scoundrel, helped the princess propose to you and now you're speaking up for him?" Xiao Yu angrily glared at Xiao Ning and said.

  Xiao Ning's face was full of grievance, I'm lying down and still getting shot?

  Everyone is lazy, if they can enjoy the world without hard training, who will train? Anyway, those strong people who can extend their lifespan have nothing to do with these mediocre guys, might as well just enjoy life.

  Many people can maintain their fighting spirit in poverty and hardship, but often fall down in the face of a life of wealth and glory.

  Xiao Xing Meng's face was smug, I'm the master of the house (acting) Who am I afraid of? Your Xiao family only produces responsible deadweight teammates, that's enough.
