Today something happened in the area of Steel Mantle City . Yes !! Today something huge happened .
Hundreds of members from different mercenary groups were gathered outside Xiao family's residence !!
" hey look what are they doing outside Xiao family's residence ? Is Xiao family trying to wage a war on someone by recruiting the mercenary armies ?"
"Idiot why would Xiao family even need to recruit mercenary armies to wage a war ? Their forces alone are enough to crush the high nobles , let alone mid nobles "
" than why did they mobilized the mercenary forces ?"
"Who knows ?"
Many gossips were happening in the city after watching the forces of different mercenary groups.
Leading hundreds of armies from Black Jet mercenary group was a very muscular middle age man in his mid 30 , with the cultivation of Mid Stage Body Refining Stage , Yan Yaolan - Leader of Black Jet mercenary group.
Leading hundreds of armies from Silent Leaf mercenary group was their leader Chang Ruoxu , a very beautiful lady with her seductive body of mid 25 yet looked like early 18. Same cultivation as former .
Leading hundreds of armies from Matrix Line mercenary group was Leader Tang He , a young man in his late 27 yet looked like he was in his early 20 . Extremely handsome and very noble looking. With the cultivation of Late Stage Body Refining Stage.
There were total 300 - 400 soldiers gathered !!
Looking at the battalion , Xiao Zhongmao felt like his son was about to engage in war . A very luxurious carriage shaped like huge tortoise shell while painted in red . Two warhorses as mounts and a driver , was standing in the middle of the force.
Xiao Sheng and his group standing behind , they were all dressed in proper attires and outfits.
"Bastard !! Are you going for engaging in war or to massacre someone ? " Xiao Zhongmao shouted at Xiao Sheng. While Xiao Sheng replied with a smile " father , you should know it is time to show my worth in the family so I am showing my worth "
"Your worth , my ass !! " Xiao Zhongmao couldn't help himself from cursing his son . His first wife is a barbarian while his first son is a terminator !!
He shouted " where did you show your worth ? Is recruiting mercenary group showing your worth ? Showing worth means proving your own capabilities not buying something "
Xiao Sheng shook his head and said " you see father , some have their strength as capability while some has their money and wealth as their capability but as for me , my capability lies in my family background. In short my strength is my father's wealth . Hehe…"
"SCRAM !! " Xiao Zhongmao was so frustrated that he shouted out so loud that subconsciously his Soul Cultivation was unleashed which injured many people that were around them.
Without wasting time , Xiao Sheng and his group entered the carriage and left , followed by the mercenary groups.
"Lord husband , calm yourself " Xiao Zhongmao calmed himself after his wife consoled him .
" I am okay , don't need to worry dear wife "

On the way to Sai village , Xiao Sheng was leisurely lying his head on Wong Xue's soft and beautiful lap while he was reading a book which was his hobby from his past life . While Han Tian Yuan was enjoying the riding while eating sweet honey that was stored in a glass bottle. Tan Bo Zhao was sitting on the seat and reading about cultivation and Dao about Body Cultivation System .
While Wong Xue was gently caressing Xiao Sheng's hairs and smiling. The atmosphere was too peaceful .

While at the outside ,
Riding a horse , Yan Yaolan was next to Chang Ruoxu. He looked at her beautiful face and said " Xu'er , are you still angry with me ?" Chang Ruoxu only looked at him once before turning away.
Smiling helplessly , Yan Yaolan sighed . Riding horse , Tang He came next to Yan Yaolan and placed his hand on Yan Yaolan's shoulder before comforting him with words " brother Yan , don't get upset , take it slow at a time " Yan Yaolan turned to look at him and nodded before saying " yes , you are right brother Tang . I should take it slow and steady "

He turned around and watched the back of Chang Ruoxu and sighed.

Inside the carriage ;
Suddenly , Xiao Sheng began to sniff his nose and thought 'why do I feel something is going around in my surrounding ? It feels like , somehow in the future I will have to go through lots of drama !! ' but as soon as this thought came inside his head , it disappeared instantly too .
"Young master , do you want a cup of tea ?" Wong Xue with her very sweet and peaceful voice , asked . Xiao Sheng watched her while lying down on her luxurious lap . He thought for a while and came up with a decision.
If I stood up to drink a tea , wouldn't I have to leave the sweet lap of beauty Xue ?
He smiled and replied "no , I am fine without tea " Wong Xue was obvious to what he was thinking so she didn't realised . She just nodded her head . She hasn't realised until now but Xiao Sheng could clearly see her two heavenly peaks that were round and big , hanging down on her chest !!
Gulp~
I must be the son of Heaven to enjoy such a luxurious service in my life !!
He thought and smiled very happily.

Sai village , is one of the village located around Sai Mountain that has some few landscape and plateau around , surrounding like huge hills . The village river is connected with Sai Mountain while the river in Sai Mountain is connected with Snow King Mountain which is also one of the water source in [ Hawk Empire ].
From [ Steel Mantle ] city to Sai Village , the journey is only about 2 days .Sai Village is in jurisdiction of [ Hawk Empire ] but is ruled by Xiao family because it is given property , officially by the Royals. Which made it the territory of Xiao family. Xiao family governs many cities and villages such as [ Steel Mantle ] city as capital and [ Motherland ] city , [ Green King ] city , [ Dan ] city , [ Aerial ] city and so .
Traveling in the carriage and warhorses as a mounts , Xiao Sheng and his groups would need 2 days to travel a long journey.
Actually Sai Village isn't the only one in Sai Mountain but there are lots of villages too with a Xiao Family's small base so that they can rule the Sai Mountain. In fact , Sai Mountain belongs to Xiao family as a Mid Rank Noble family while Snow King Mountain belongs to Wu Family as a High Rank Noble.
There must be around 30 villages in Sai Mountain . Sai Mountain is one of the best place to farm corps. And the best thing that they can farm on the land of Sai Mountain are Multi-wheat ( it's just a different version of wheat that can grow rice twice compare to ordinary wheat ) , Pine -orange ( a type of orange fruit that is large and had shape of pine-apple and many things. In fact , normally , the rations in Xiao family are supplied from Sai Mountain Farms.
Xiao family base in Sai Mountain isn't that large but only has 100 members with Military supports that is the reason for it to hold against many mountain bandits until now .
Mountain bandits numbers keeps on increasing every years as if they are recruiting military forces. Xiao Sheng didn't know but actually even if those mountain bandits were to be just a mortals , they would still be strong force because of sheer number . Their number are in the scale of at least 1000 !! If Xiao Zhongmao hadn't send reinforcement in time before , the soldiers in duty from Sai Mountain would had been clean slaughtered by mountain bandits.
Sai Mountain , Sai Village , Xiao Family Army Camp
Inside an army camp building made of wood , sitting on a chair , a young man in his mid 25 wearing steel armour was gritting his teeth. One could see bloodshot in his eyes from seer frustration and rage , his name was Kong Duan , the commander of Xiao family army from Sai Mountain. With the cultivation of Mid stage Body Refining Stage .
He was sitting on a chair but he felt restless . A subordinate of his , name Yan Ye , Lieutenant in army. He was young man in his mid 23 with the cultivation of Peak Stage Body Tempering Stage . He looked like how an average person would look . Equipped in steel armour , he was sitting in front of Kong Duan . While in their middle was a wooden table , maintaining a clear distance.
Commander Kong Duan was angry because today from Om village , he got report that some mountain bandits kidnapped young girls away . And the worse thing is there were only few soldiers in duty which caused death of 2 soldiers.
"Bastard !!"Commander Kong Duan roared and stood up from his chair before kicking the chair away and shouting in frustration " mountain bandits , mountain bandits , mountain bandits , this virus seem to be more dangerous than infection in Sai Mountain. The leaders of this mountain bandits are all an Early Stage Body Refining Stage which is causing our force to slowly submit to their power while they are reigning over the Sai Mountain and dominating with their authority. "
"Calm down commander " watching him lose his sanity Lieutenant Yan Ye was afraid. Looking at Lieutenant Yan Ye , Commander Kong Duan ordered him " quick mobilize the whole army force , we will be waging war on those virus . Want a beautiful girl to satisfy your desire through pleasure ? Why don't you all go and fuck pigs and dogs on the street after looking at your face on the mirrors ? Want to kill people ? Why don't you all start a slaughterhouse where you can slaughter cows and buffaloes ? Want to show how great you are ? Why don't you join the army and contribute for the Empire ?"
"The virus name ' Mountain Bandits ' , bunch of uneducated fools , immature thinking ants , lowly pleasant , scumbags , cockolds , I guess even when their mothers were about to die , they only cared about worldly desire and nothing else ."
"If I wasn't restrained by the rules of military than in would have gone to their main base alone and massacred them even if it costed my life "
" I would first skin them alive and torture then in hot oil , stir them alive before sending then to hospital so they wouldn't die before coming up with new way of torturing them "
Watching the raging Commander , Lieutenant Yan Ye smiled wryly before reporting " Commander Kong Duan , please calm down . A letter has been sent by Xiao Family main forces saying that young master Xiao Sheng will arrive after 2 days . "
"Oh !! Young master Xiao " after hearing such a pleasing name , Commander Kong Duan calmed himself .
Ah ! Such a pleasing name to my ear .
So much sweetness is being carried in this name.
He looked at Lieutenant Yan Ye before smiling gently and asked warmly " Lieutenant Yan Ye , Who are with him ?" Watching him smile so friendly , Lieutenant Yan Ye didn't know what to say ?
What just happened to this demon ?
But nevermind , Lieutenant Yan Ye still reported "his personal maid Wong Xue , his Personal slave Tan Bo Zhao , Han Tian Yuan and some few mercenary groups "
"Personal maid ?" Commander Kong Duan's eyes frowned but he didn't said anything.
Actually after working for Xiao family for almost from his birth until now , Xiao family head , Xiao Zhongmao felt his loyalty to be so strong and close , because of his loyalty , Xiao Zhongmao promised to marry his son to Commander Kong Duan's little sister !!
Xiao Sheng , of course he doesn't have any idea about all of this.
' let my little sister handle this matter . It is not rare to have a many wives for a nobleson so let it be as long as my sister isn't counted as concubine ' he nodded his head .
