Let s Squander A Billion First!

When Shen Jingyun arrived, he saw a small green snake with half of its body resting on Shen Yaoye’s hand.

Shen Yaoye was stiff, his face pallid and unsightly; on closer look, he was even trembling.

“Yaoye, it’s just a small snake,” Shen Jingyun said softly. “Just flick it off.”

“Shen Jingyun!” The tremor was evident in Shen Yaoye’s voice.

He had been afraid of snakes since he was a child.

He knew it well.

Faced with a snake, never mind using Xuan Qi, even moving was difficult.

Everyone has something they fear; Shen Yaoye didn’t think it was anything to be ashamed of, but in front of Shen Jingyun, he felt humiliated.

Shen Jingyun stepped forward and flicked the snake away: “It’s okay now.”

Shen Yaoye immediately jumped up, staying far away, watching the spot where the snake had been, still heart-pounding.

“You want to come over?” Shen Jingyun asked him.

“No.” Shen Yaoye rubbed the place the snake had crawled on, still feeling a chill all over.

Shen Jingyun showed a helpless expression and returned alone to the fire.

Shen Yaoye looked around into the darkness, constantly hearing hissing and rustling sounds by his ears, goosebumps covering his arms.

After hesitating for a long time, Shen Yaoye looked in Shen Jingyun’s direction, clenched his teeth, and cautiously made his way over.

When he got to Shen Jingyun’s side, seeing him with his eyes closed, he felt justified in sitting down.

Sometimes, Shen Yaoye felt that their closest moment was during their time in that secret realm.

But his best memories were there, and so were his worst.

They had encountered a Xuan beast there, and the Xuan beast was powerful.

To allow him to escape first, Shen Jingyun had stayed behind to face the Xuan beast alone.

Shen Yaoye had run a distance before finally turning back.

Both Shen Jingyun and the Xuan beast were lying on the ground; the beast was dead, and Shen Jingyun was at death’s door.

Sometimes, Shen Yaoye wished Shen Jingyun were dead, so that Father Shen would stop bringing up Shen Jingyun all the time, telling him to learn from Shen Jingyun.

However, when he actually saw Shen Jingyun on the brink of death, deep down he found he didn’t want him to die.

Shen Jingyun had been poisoned, without a cure.

The poison wouldn’t affect Shen Jingyun’s strength; he seemed nearly normal on the surface, but every now and then, the poison would flare up, the pain unimaginable.

Each attack would consume a bit of his life force.

Even if his strength remained, his body would weaken day by day.

Father Shen, unusually, didn’t punish him or even scold him but remained calm as if nothing had happened.

Shen Yaoye would rather Father Shen scold him as he used to.

But Father Shen remained silent, as if disappointed to the extreme, unwilling to even speak.

Shen Yaoye stayed by Shen Jingyun’s side for half a month; after half a month, he left the Shen family to seek a cure for Shen Jingyun far and wide.

He wouldn’t return to the Shen family for a year and a half, only sending back anything he thought useful through others.

Later, having traveled all over Dongyuan, he hadn’t found a useful cure so he went to the Lower Realm.

There will always be a way…

Shen Yaoye withdrew from his memories, took his gaze back, and turned to leave.

–

The Shen Family was adorned with red silk, the sounds of gongs and drums filled the air, and there was an air of celebration.

Someone in the Shen Family was getting married today.

“Ah—”

A scream came from the Shen Family.

Shen Jingyun arrived following the sound.

Shen Yaoye was standing in the courtyard, with a corpse lying on the ground, blood flowing at his feet.

“Yaoye, you…” Shen Jingyun was shocked.

“Brother, congratulations.” Shen Yaoye raised his head, a smile on his face.

“Yaoye, what are you doing?” Shen Jingyun rushed towards Shen Yaoye, “He’s your second uncle, how could you…”

Shen Yaoye stepped back, leaving bloody footprints on the ground.

How could he…

Of course, he could.

Because that was the condition for the exchange of the Primordial Spirit Golden Pill.

“Brother, happy wedding.” After Shen Yaoye said this, he lightly touched the ground with his foot, leapt into the air, and disappeared with a few bounds.

Shen Jingyun stared into the void, his complexion terrible.

“Family Head, the Young Master, he…”

Shen Jingyun said, “The matter of today, no one is allowed to speak of it. The second uncle died a sudden death.”

“…Yes.”

–

Shen Yaoye found Chuzheng and told her he had fulfilled her condition.

Chuzheng spoke calmly, with an indifferent tone, “I already gave you the Primordial Spirit Golden Pill, it doesn’t matter if you don’t do it.”

“Miss Jun, I still understand the importance of keeping one’s word.” Shen Yaoye said.

After all, you don’t seem like a good person, who knows what consequences there would be if he didn’t do it.

That was something Shen Yaoye didn’t dare say.

Shen Yaoye shamelessly took up residence where Chuzheng was, but he spent all day drinking himself into a stupor. Sometimes Chuzheng could find him at the doorstep.

“What’s wrong with you?”

When Shen Yaoye opened his eyes, he was met with the man’s beautiful and deep eyes.

The man in red supported his chin, a smile on his lips, exceptionally enticing.

This person from the Jun Family is truly…a seductive presence.

“Young Master Xie.” Shen Yaoye, covering his slightly aching head, sat up and found himself lying in the courtyard.

Xie Shu smiled and reminded him, “Chuzheng said seeing you at the door every day, she’s somewhat tempted to get rid of you. Be careful.”

“Sorry.”

“Aren’t you happy?”

Shen Yaoye shook his head and suddenly said, “Young Master Xie, I envy you quite a bit.”

“Envy me for what, being a male pet?” Xie Shu’s tone was not wrong, just joking.

“The Jun Family is no more, she didn’t tell you that, did she?”

Xie Shu’s brows lightly furrowed.

After leaving Dongyuan, Xie Shu was unaware of the situation above.

“The ones who destroyed Heavy Snow Night Moon all died as well…” Shen Yaoye murmured. He stood up from the ground, “Could you please let Miss Jun know, I’ve been a disturbance these days.”

Xie Shu heard Shen Yaoye’s intent to leave, “Are you alright?”

“I’m alright, it’s just… I’ve come to understand some things,” Shen Yaoye said.

He had always felt that he disliked Shen Jingyun.

But now he suddenly realized that perhaps it was not dislike he felt for him…

He liked that person.

But his liking was not accepted by the world.
