Just then, Huang Zhongxin was overjoyed to see that the matter had been settled so quickly. He patted Lin Yaoxie on the shoulder, and the two of them acted like very close brothers, preparing to enjoy the delicious food.

"Yes, you're right. To be honest, I'm starting to feel hungry too. Let's go have a good meal together. By the way, what good food do you have here?"

Lin Yaoxie is not a god; his stomach, like that of an ordinary person, can feel hunger. However, compared to ordinary people, he is more resistant to hunger.

"Hahahaha... Brother Lin Yaoxie, don't be surprised later. We have an abundance of delicious food here, and the way we eat it is very different from how ordinary people eat it outside."

Immediately afterwards, the little girl Huang Xiaoyun next to him also seemed to be in a good mood and said to Lin Yaoxie.

"Aren't you going to give me a heads-up? What kind of special delicacy is it that I'll be tasting?"

Looking at Huang Xiaoyun's lively and adorable appearance, Lin Yaoxie couldn't help but smile and say something.

"Here, we take a whole animal, remove the inedible parts, and then grill or cook it in other ways. It looks very impressive and makes your mouth water!"

As Huang Xiaoyun spoke, she made a funny face at Lin Yaoxie, wiping her mouth with saliva. It looked so ridiculous that Lin Yaoxie couldn't help but laugh.

"Hehehe, you little rascal, you didn't just start drooling while you were talking about this delicious food, did you? I think you were actually wiping your mouth just now..."

Looking at the mischievous and adorable Huang Xiaoyun, Lin Yaoxie couldn't help but joke with her.

"Get out of here! How can you talk like that? How could I, a pure and beautiful fairy who could shame the moon and make fish sink and geese fall from the sky, possibly drool? You must have something wrong with your head!"

0..oo Requesting flowers.

As Huang Xiaoyun spoke, she complained as she received a hard punch on Lin Yaoxie's arm.

Even Lin Yaoxie couldn't help but let out a "Ah!"

Don't let Huang Xiaoyun's seemingly frail appearance fool you; when she really uses her strength to fight, she's surprisingly powerful.

At least just now, when Huang Xiaoyun hit her own arm, that blow was enough to knock an ordinary person unconscious!

It is only because Lin Yaoxie's strength is absolutely powerful that he was able to withstand Huang Xiaoyun's attack without any damage, just like a normal person.

However, it can't be said that Huang Xiaoyun intentionally targeted Lin Yaoxie. Huang Xiaoyun isn't a child anymore; of course she knows that Lin Yaoxie's strength is definitely formidable, otherwise...

Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to die alongside his highly discerning elder brother, Huang Zhongxin.

Chapter 288 Great Kindness and Virtue

So, the little scuffle with Lin Yaoxie just now was all within Huang Xiaoyun's limits. Even if Lin Yaoxie had actually hurt her, it wouldn't have been a big deal. What's the big deal about a man being hit like that by a woman?

Soon, Huang Zhongxin led his sister Huang Xiaoyun and Lin Yaoxie to the place to enjoy the food.

The servants had already received the news by February, March, and July and had prepared a lot of delicious food for them.

In the center of that large table was a whole roasted lamb; just looking at it made one's mouth water.

Just like Huang Xiaoyun said before, just looking at it can make people have a huge appetite, and it really makes their mouths water.

Huang Xiaoyun couldn't help but laugh when she saw Lin Yaoxie's eyes sparkling.

"Hahahaha... How about that? I told you, the food here is truly extraordinary! Come on, let's feast!"

And so, everyone sat down, drinking and eating heartily, having an incredibly happy time.

After drinking half of it, Huang Zhongxin continued to talk to Lin Yaoxie about the energy orb.

"By the way, Brother Lin Yaoxie, this precious pearl I have here can continuously release energy that people can absorb to accelerate their cultivation speed, but in fact, it needs to be left out for seven days each month to recover, otherwise, the energy that can be released from it will be much less."

Huang Zhongxin sipped his wine and spoke slowly to Lin Yaoxie.

"Oh, I see. No problem then. I won't keep using it all the time. We can take turns using it together. Anyway, there's nothing urgent that I need to deal with. I can cultivate slowly."

After hearing what the other party said, Lin Yaoxie replied with great ease.

"No, no, that's not what I meant, Brother Lin Yaoxie. I said before that I would give you a big reward, which means I won't share this energy orb with you. At least not for the next six months. You can use it!"

However, to Lin Yaoxie's surprise, Huang Zhongxin was surprisingly generous this time, not intending to take turns using the energy orb with Lin Yaoxie, but instead allowing Lin Yaoxie to use it all by himself.

In this way, Lin Yaoxie's cultivation can be kept in the best condition to the maximum extent, and his strength can be improved at the fastest speed.

This arrangement is undoubtedly very advantageous for Lin Yaoxie.

"Since that's the case, then I'll gladly accept your offer. To be honest, I'm also very interested in that energy orb. Everyone would really like it if it increased cultivation speed."

Lin Yaoxie certainly wouldn't hesitate to ask for help. After all, the other person's life had been threatened, and in that situation, his intervention was akin to saving a life, a feat surpassing even the creation of a seven-story pagoda. Such a profound act of kindness made it entirely acceptable for Huang Zhongxin to pay this price.

Chapter 289 Several Thousand Troops

"By the way, the power struggle between you and that emperor isn't completely over yet, is it? Even if you and I joined forces to kill that royal guard captain, since he's been targeting you so much, he won't let you off so easily."

After taking a big bite of mutton, Lin Yaoxie looked at Huang Zhongxin and said.

"Of course! They're a powerful and wealthy family. Even a small favor they casually offer can send countless people out to hunt me down. That's why I've always operated in the shadows, never daring to venture out openly. But that doesn't stop me from accumulating power. I will take my revenge!"

Huang Zhongxin looked at Lin Yaoxie and said very seriously.

Of course, revenge is necessary! How can a real man not seek revenge when he's being chased and killed? Wouldn't that be like being ridden on without daring to utter a sound? That's truly pathetic. If a man is that pathetic, he can forget about having a good life in the future; many, many people will come to bully him!

Since the emperor has gone too far, Huang Zhongxin is determined to retaliate and make the emperor pay the price. Even if the emperor's family is powerful and influential, making it difficult to defeat him, but...

That means you won't have to pay the price for your actions!

"I see. So, Brother Huang Zhongxin, how much energy have you accumulated? Have you reached ten percent of the Emperor's energy?"

Lin Yaoxie felt a little respect for Huang Zhongxin's ambition. This man dared to oppose the emperor and wanted the emperor to pay a heavy price for his actions.

This kind of goal is undeniably ambitious, and if Lin Yaoxie were to pursue it, he could certainly achieve it relatively easily.

However, for Huang Zhongxin, it was much, much more difficult, almost like a snail trying to shake a tree.

However, Huang Zhongxin did not give up on his goal just because of the difficulty of the matter. Such a true man's style naturally earned Lin Yaoxie's admiration.

Lin Yaoxie admired this kind of true manly and tough guy style.

"I wouldn't dare say ten percent, but I've at least amassed several hundred capable subordinates, each of whom is capable of taking on ten men."

"So, all things considered, I'm practically someone who commands several thousand troops. Don't you think so?"

Huang Zhongxin took another sip of wine and spoke to Lin Yaoxie.

A few thousand people are certainly no match for an emperor with immense power. However, as the saying goes, it's easy to dodge a spear in the open, but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark.

If you never engage your opponent head-on, but instead always strike from the shadows, then you can still have a slight advantage.

Making yourself unpredictable and catching others off guard, small victories accumulate and can eventually become a major victory, right? That's a kind of intangible advantage.

"Hahahaha... Not bad, not bad. It seems you've really been working hard all along, Brother Huang Zhongxin. If you send your men to launch a surprise attack on a certain place, it should be quite effective, right?"

Chapter 290: Intrigued

Lin Yaoxie was, of course, a very experienced person. As someone who had been out in the world of martial arts and had experienced countless battles, Lin Yaoxie was able to quickly discover the key points here.

"Not bad, not bad, Brother Lin Yaoxie, you're on the same page as me. I'm really planning to pull off a heist in a while. Do you have any ideas about joining me?"

Since we've brought this up, a sneak attack can be very exciting and can definitely inflict heavy losses on the enemy. As long as the plan is well-concealed and the enemy doesn't notice, catching them off guard will yield excellent results...

"Well, you know, I'm not really interested in these kinds of struggles. I actually prefer to travel the world alone and experience all sorts of interesting things. That's more fun. Otherwise, fighting with these powerful forces would be endless."

Lin Yaoxie actually had little interest in fighting the emperor. He had no grudge against the emperor, so why would he need to fight him?

As the most powerful figure in the country, the emperor had an immense and vast amount of manpower and resources at his disposal.

They must have many skilled fighters under their command, and if a real fight breaks out, it will consume a great deal of time, energy, manpower, and resources.

If it were the emperor with whom he had a grudge, then he wouldn't mind fighting him. After all, he was alone and had the strength to back it up, so he wasn't afraid of anything.

"Brother Lin Yaoxie, this is a bit off. Don't you like those energy treasures? Those treasures can improve your strength much faster, isn't that a good thing? How many treasures do you think the emperor can collect every year? Why can't we share in those treasures?"

However, Huang Zhongxin actually said something that surprised Lin Yaoxie a little.

To actually try to steal some treasures from the emperor's collection and share in his privileges—such an idea is truly audacious.

Most people wouldn't dare to have such a bold idea.

If this bold idea were spoken aloud and overheard by someone with ulterior motives, a single report could lead to the terrifying prospect of your entire family being executed at any moment.

However, Huang Zhongxin was Huang Zhongxin after all, an extraordinary man who dared to do extraordinary things! No wonder he had been able to serve as an important figure under the emperor for so long; his courage was truly extraordinary!

"Your suggestion is indeed a good one. To be honest, you've made me a little excited. If we join forces, we can really make a big splash. Maybe we can even build up our power to the point where the emperor is afraid."

Lin Yaoxie was indeed intrigued by Huang Zhongxin's words; it wasn't impossible for the two of them to join forces.

Moreover, there's a saying that goes, "The bolder the man, the greater the harvest!" As long as you're bold enough, you can achieve great things!

Although it involves risks, as a man, it would be very unmanly if you weren't interested in any risks at all.

Chapter 291 Terrifying Ideas

Since that's the case, then of course we should have a proper discussion about when to start implementing this big project.

"Ahem, Brother Huang Zhongxin, I feel like this is a really interesting thing. I wonder if I could join you guys? When is it?"

The young girl, Huang Xiaoyun, was also extremely interested. She even temporarily stopped eating the fragrant roasted meat in her hand and started discussing this mischief with Huang Zhongxin.

"Go away, go away! You're just a little girl, going to do something so dangerous with us grown men. What kind of image is that? Aren't you afraid you'll never be able to get married if you're so reckless? If people find out you're a reckless girl, all 240 men will stay away from you. Who would want to marry you?"

Huang Zhongxin appeared to be concerned about Huang Xiaoyun's future, wondering if she would be able to get married. However, it was clear to everyone that Huang Zhongxin wasn't worried about Huang Xiaoyun's marriage prospects at all; rather, he was concerned about whether Huang Xiaoyun would get injured during this dangerous mission.

This is the key issue: such a dangerous operation, to fight against the emperor's forces. Who is the emperor? He has countless soldiers and countless experts under his command. Although they are not gathered in one place, even when dispersed, they still represent a considerable amount of energy.

The danger of fighting them would undoubtedly be immense.

Only powerful individuals like Huang Zhongxin and Lin Yaoxie dare to treat this matter as a relatively easy thing.

"I estimate that we can launch a small raid in about half a month. There is a place that I have already considered before. There are about three or four hundred troops there. It shouldn't be too difficult to deal with. I estimate that we can take it down completely in one night."

Huang Zhongxin took another sip of wine, then looked at Lin Yaoxie and said.

"Alright, alright. I don't have anything urgent anyway. I'll just focus on cultivating next to that energy orb for now, further improving my strength. Then we'll go and have a real showdown!"

After hearing Huang Zhongxin's words, Lin Yaoxie seemed to be in a good mood and said so.

Of course I'm in a good mood. This time, I'm sure I can get a lot of benefits out of it.

"Hey, hey, hey, Brother Huang Zhongxin, you don't need to worry about whether I'll be able to get married in the future, okay? At worst, I can just grab a random man off the street and force him to marry me, isn't that enough? Why would I need to worry about not being able to get married?"

Huang Xiaoyun was, after all, a rather eccentric girl, and this amazing idea was something he could come up with.

Go out on the street and snatch any man you want, then make him marry you.

Listen to this! Is this even human language? Is this something a young girl should be saying? It's unbelievable! This is practically the language of a female bully or bandit!

How could an ordinary person possibly have such a terrifying thought? To just grab any man off the street and marry him?!

Chapter 292 is sincere.
