Starting with Hyuga, traversing countless heavens

With five kicks, the giant python reverted to its small snake form. Little White, looking like a useless snake, slumped to the spot.

Hinata Hoshino pinched the seven-inch mark, raised it, and handed it to the bamboo leaf green in his arms.

"Take it, use it as a jump rope to vent your anger."

Hmm, I suddenly feel sorry for her!

"Give me back my Little White!"

Hinata Hoshino's right hand was poised in a flower-picking gesture as he grabbed the girl's calf. Rai Xiu's angry strike was like a joke.

Lei Xiu tried her best to pull her leg out, but she felt that Hinata Hoshino's hand was like an iron ring, and she couldn't move.

Lei Xiu's restrained lower leg sank, and using the momentum to spin, he kicked Hyuga Hoshino in the temple with his other leg.

Hinata Hoshino thought this girl was too wild and needed to be taught a lesson. He tilted his head and used his head and shoulder to trap her other leg.

Seeing that his killing move had been easily neutralized, Lei Xiu slammed his head towards Hyuga Hoshino's other temple. Even Zhu Yeqing couldn't bear to watch and pressed her hand against Lei Xiu's forehead.

With a sudden shove from Zhu Yeqing, Hinata Hoshino released his grip at the opportune moment, and Lei Xiu fell directly to the ground.

Tears welled in her eyes, her face filled with grievance. Achu, Ahai, and Sanyuan stared at her, speechless.

Helpless, Mao Xiaofang gave each of them a sharp rap on the head. Sanyuan heard the two crisp raps beside him and realized that Lei Xiu was the culprit, the snake demon's master.

"Xiao Fang, what do you think?"

"Senior brother, why not cripple the snake demon and give her a way out?"

"Qingqing, what do you think?"

"Let her be my playmate!"

"This? That's not a good idea."

"Please, please? Hmm~"

"Okay, okay, where did you learn that from?"

The coquettishness of the bamboo leaf green was a bit too much for Hinata Hoshino to handle. As everyone knows, Hinata Hoshino is a very extreme person, a loli and an older sister type, with no middle ground.

"I see that young humans all act like this, getting whatever they want. Don't you like that?"

"It's okay, so-so."

Hinata Hoshino rubbed her nose. Rai Xiu watched the two, one human and one demon, seemingly oblivious to everyone else. He decided who her pet belonged to, feeling dissatisfied but helpless. He uttered some harsh words and prepared to leave.

"Just wait for me."

"Certainly."

"What's going on? Why can't I move? It's you! What kind of sorcery is this?"

"A freeze-inducing technique, a secret of the Maoshan sect. You think you can just walk away like that? Your pet is causing havoc in the area, and you bear no responsibility whatsoever?"

"What do you want?"

Lei Xiu's cheeks flushed slightly, clearly thinking of some unhealthy scenarios. After the monkey really froze the seven fairies, he didn't do anything? Where did the Calabash Brothers come from?

"Work to pay off your debts, young lady!"

"Xiao Fang, calculate the losses caused by this snake demon and make her compensate for them."

“Master, I also bear responsibility. It was my carelessness that let this young lady’s pet escape, which led to this situation.”

Achu stepped forward and bravely took responsibility, which made Mao Xiaofang feel helpless, wondering why he hadn't stepped forward sooner.

He stepped forward at this time, and although it is only right, he will not shirk half the responsibility.

However, if he had said it earlier, he could have scraped together the money. Where would he have gotten so much money now?

"Senior brother, look, I'm bad at teaching, could you lend me some?"

"Junior brother! Is that you? Junior brother!"

Before Hyuga Hoshino could answer, Lei Gang, leaning on a cane, walked over from a distance.

"Senior brother? Your eyes?"

"Ah, it's nothing. I was fighting with someone in Southeast Asia and unfortunately injured my eye. By the way, junior brother, have you seen my daughter, Lei Xiu?"

"Xiuer, your father?"

Hinata Hoshino leaned closer to Lei Xiu and pointed at Lei Gang, but Lei Xiu turned his head away.

"Father! I'm here."

"Eh." *2

Lei Gang: ? In this day and age, there are still people snatching their daughters, and doing it so openly?

"Senior brother, let me introduce you. This is Senior Brother Shixing from the Maoshan Ancestral Temple. Senior Brother Shixing, this is my senior brother, Lei Gang."

"Hello, hello."

Hinata Hoshino naturally stepped forward, grasped Lei Gang's hand, and shook it up and down, channeling pure Yang Qi directly into Lei Gang's body.

Chapter 197 The Extraordinarily Brave Lei Gang

Lei Gang immediately felt a surge of pure and ethereal Daoist energy enter him, clashing with the evil energy within his body.

Lei Gang hurriedly withdrew his hand, remaining outwardly calm, but inwardly he was in turmoil. Such powerful Qi! Even if his father were to be resurrected, he probably wouldn't have such cultivation.

“Junior brother, did Ah Xiu do something wrong? If so, it’s all my fault. I was fighting with someone in Southeast Asia and was injured when Ah Xiu saved me. So I took her in as my goddaughter and have been teaching her diligently all these years. I never thought she would still make such a big mistake. It’s too late to regret it now.”

“Children may not know better, but adults cannot. This Xiu’er has allowed her pet to destroy crops. Since Junior Brother Lei Gang feels it is his fault, why don’t you make the compensation on his behalf?”

"Master, I..."

"Ok!"

Achu wanted to speak, but was stopped by Mao Xiaofang. Mao Xiaofang had doubts, because Lei Gang was expelled from the sect because he had ulterior motives.

Mao Xiaofang wanted to see what Lei Gang said to determine whether Lei Gang had reformed or had other motives.

“Senior brother is right. I failed to raise my daughter properly and should make compensation. Junior brother, please gather information about the losses. I will make amends, even if it's just wiping the table or serving tea.”

Upon hearing this, Mao Xiaofang's doubts were largely dispelled. Hinata Hoshino raised an eyebrow, thinking, "Interesting, not bad acting."

However, Hyuga Hoshino is more curious about something else now. His Dao Qi comes from cultivating the Yellow Court, and the evil Qi is suppressed. What does he plan to do?

“Senior brother, you are blind. As your junior brother, how can I bear to let you go out and serve tea and water? Don’t worry, even if I have to go bankrupt, I will help you pay it back.”

"Junior brother!"

"Brother!"

Hinata Hoshino felt a little nauseous; there was definitely something going on between these two.

"Senior Brother Shixing, I wonder if you could help me in this emergency?"

"Here's what we'll do, Xiao Fang. You can pay for it first, and you don't need to pay it back. Just have her be my maid, serving tea and water, washing clothes and folding blankets..."

There were no rules or regulations, and neither did Lei Gang. Apart from Lei Xiu, the person involved, everyone was happy.

"Alright, Ah Xiu, hurry up and thank your senior master."

"Dad! I don't want it!"

"I really spoil you."

Lei Gang raised his hand as if to strike, but Hinata Hoshino stopped him.

"It's alright, Junior Brother Lei Gang, you shouldn't mind if I give you a little pointers."

"Of course, my daughter was impolite and I'm afraid she offended my senior brother."

"Haha, it's okay, I'm very good at dealing with unruly kids and their parents."

The word "parents" was emphasized, and Lei Gang was startled. The previous probing and the current warning both proved one thing to him: Shi Xing might know something.

Hinata Hoshino chuckled. Back when Shi Jian brought his son Shi Shaojian back to Maoshan to receive the ordination certificate, Hinata Hoshino had given Shi Shaojian a good beating.

Although Shi Jian was somewhat reluctant, he acquiesced. He vaguely remembered Shi Shaojian's expression as if the sky had fallen.

Hyuga Hoshino is now recognized as the next leader of Maoshan. Shi Jian has no intention of competing, so he naturally will not hide Shi Shaojian's identity.

"Xiao Fang, is there any large open space nearby? I'd like to stay temporarily."

“Senior brother, I remember there is an open space behind Fuxi Hall. But why don’t you just live in Fuxi Hall? It’s a bit late to build a house now.”

"No need, you'll find out soon enough."

He patted Lei Xiu's shoulder, and Lei Xiu relaxed. Clearly, not moving made her uncomfortable.

"untie."

"Father! I..."

Lei Xiu wanted to complain to Lei Gang, but Lei Gang stopped her. Only then did Lei Xiu notice that Lei Gang looked unwell.

"Ah Xiu, you stay with Shixing for now. I want to see what he's capable of and what's going on. Report back to me as soon as possible."

"Oh."

"Okay, don't feel wronged. Let's see how he solves the accommodation problem first."

"Wood Release: Four Pillars Family Technique"

To the astonishment of the group, a wooden villa rose from the ground.

"Xiao Fang, why don't you go in and take a look?"

Mao Xiaofang and Hinata Hoshino entered the wooden villa together. It was fully furnished, had two floors, and even had a toilet and a bathroom.

"Senior brother, your skill is truly extraordinary. Such a miracle is truly awe-inspiring."

"What's wrong, Ah Xiu? I feel like the ground is shaking."

“Father, Shixing just waved his hand and a wooden house was built.”

"What! Let me touch it, to build a house."

Lei Xiu helped Lei Gang approach the villa. When Lei Gang touched the villa, he felt a vibrant life force, as if the house in front of him was alive and not built after being cut down.

Lei Gang's expression was sinister. He had pursued power, but it had caused him to go blind. He never expected that Shi Xing, at such a young age, would have such cultivation.
