Part 2
Ouyang Xiaoli came back to his senses.
Xia Ni standing at the door had a gloomy face. He naturally heard Xia Yi’s voice too. This idiot actually forgave this scumbag so easily. Back then, he promised him never to see Ouyang again!
Turns out it was all fart!
Xia Ni was so angry his lungs were about to explode!
Song Chengbing naturally wouldn’t let Xia Ni come to the Underground City alone. He was really worried, so he followed and stood beside Xia Ni.
Ouyang Xiaoli stared coldly at Song Chengbing, remembering the photo he saw on the news. Even though he knew it was a misunderstanding, he still didn’t have a good impression of this person.
Song Chengbing frowned.
The door opened. Xia Yi rushed heartlessly into his brother’s arms, rubbing and hugging affectionately. Xia Ni pushed him away with a look of disgust.
“Spineless thing.”
Xia Ni glanced at the tall man inside the door. The man had deep features, was extraordinarily handsome, and was sizing him up with the same gaze.
A trace of astonishment flashed across his expression.
Xia Ni knew that anyone seeing him and Xia Yi looking exactly alike couldn’t help but confirm repeatedly. This man obviously didn’t know Xia Yi had a brother before. His eyes betrayed him.
But Xia Ni didn’t expect this man seemed to accept it quickly, his expression returning to calm.
Xia Ni retracted his gaze, looking down at the little guy burrowing into his arms. His eyes were helpless and amused, letting him hug his waist.
“I thought after seeing someone, you forgot your brother completely,” Xia Ni said, his gaze drifting seemingly inadvertently towards the man opposite.
He snorted coldly.
It was this scumbag who deceived his brother, abandoned him after playing with him, stole Xia Yi’s heart, and cruelly sold Xia Yi to the Silver Sea Empire!
He slowly clenched his fists.
Xia Yi looked up and stared. “How is that possible?”
“How is it not possible?” Xia Ni sneered, his brows revealing coldness. “…If I didn’t come to the Underground City personally, you’d probably nest in this damp, dark place and never come back.”
Xia Yi looked back at Ouyang.
“I’m talking to you; where are you looking?” Xia Ni forcefully turned Xia Yi’s chin back, anger hidden in his eyes. “Someone sold you, and you’re good, helping them count the spirit stones!”
“How can I have such a stupid brother like you!” Xia Ni resented him for not meeting expectations.
Xia Yi pursed his lips aggrievedly.
At this time, the silent Ouyang Xiaoli suddenly spoke. He stared at Xia Ni. “Xia Yi isn’t stupid; he just has a relatively simple nature.”
“Don’t say that about him.”
Xia Ni laughed angrily. “What does my disciplining my brother have to do with you?! This is our family matter. What is an outsider like you interfering for!”
Xia Yi whispered, “Ouyang isn’t…”
“Shut up.”
Xia Ni scolded.
Xia Yi’s eyes were red. He reached out a small hand to gently tug at his brother’s sleeve, looking up pitifully at his own brother.
Xia Ni turned a blind eye.
He walked towards Ouyang Xiaoli opposite him. His imposing manner was on par with the man opposite. Having fought against the Zerg for years, he was a Adjutant in name and reality, born with a cold and fierce aura.
Even though the man in front of him was half a head taller, he showed no timidity.
“You’re the one who sold my brother?”
Xia Ni had been suppressing his anger since entering the door. Just thinking of the suffering Xia Yi endured, and the consequences if Xia Yi hadn’t been picked up by Ah Bing, fear lingered in his heart. He wished he could tear the culprit into pieces. Now this person was standing in front of him.
Xia Ni looked coldly at the man.
Xia Yi couldn’t help interrupting from behind again. “Ouyang said it wasn’t him who sold me…”
“You believe his words too?”
Xia Yi pursed his lips and stopped talking.
Ouyang Xiaoli waited for them to finish arguing before telling the truth about Xia Yi being sold, and mentioned Zuo Yinwan being locked in the dungeon.
He continued, “If you don’t believe it, I can take you to the dungeon personally.”
Xia Ni looked at the man, silent for a long time, sizing him up. Suddenly he smiled. “I underestimated you. No wonder Xia Yi can’t forget you.” Although he was smiling, there was no smile in his eyes.
Ouyang Xiaoli frowned.
Xia Ni continued, “That whatever Wan, deal with her however you like. I won’t ask. But there is one thing…”
Xia Ni paused deliberately.
“I won’t let Xia Yi be with you.”
“Why?!” Before Ouyang Xiaoli could speak, Xia Yi couldn’t help shouting.
“Ouyang, he didn’t sell me…”
Xia Ni pulled his brother behind him, preventing him from standing with that man. “I stayed in the Underground City for a while. I know better than you what this place was originally like. There is no order, no rules, dirty and full of death. If you insist on living here, then don’t call me brother!”
Xia Ni’s attitude was very firm.
Xia Yi’s tears fell, his tone pleading. “Brother…”
Ouyang Xiaoli felt a bit of heartache. He wanted to hug Xia Yi to comfort him, tell him it was no big deal, he would solve everything.
But he could only stand like this.
He said calmly, “I know you came to the Underground City this time not just for Xia Yi, but also for the things in the eighth floor.”
This was something he just got.
Things that originally belonged to them, but were stolen by these bandits of the Silver Sea Empire and claimed as their own. No one was more shameless than them.
Xia Ni narrowed his eyes slightly.
He naturally knew the news of the eighth floor being cracked, but he didn’t expect the intruder to be the man in front of him. He was a bit surprised for a moment.
His gaze turned to Ah Bing.
Ah Bing’s expression showed no surprise at all.
It seemed he already knew.
Ouyang Xiaoli continued, “What I didn’t expect was that you guys have been researching the Great Elder’s brain, researching the wisdom of Ancient Earth.”
That’s right, there was no treasure on the eighth floor, only the brain specimen of the ancient Great Elder stored there. Because it was soaked in a special solution, the specimen hadn’t rotted and maintained its original appearance.
Ouyang Xiaoli felt complicated.
“As a descendant of the Great Elder, I won’t research how to revive or defeat the Silver Sea Empire, but I won’t return the specimen to you either.”
“I will lay the Great Elder to rest in the Ancient Earth way, and then leave here.”
“Originally, I planned to make the Silver Sea Empire pay in blood. This has been my goal for a long time, but not anymore.”
“Let Xia Yi come with me.”
“And I will give up destroying the Silver Sea Empire.”
Song Chengbing laughed. “Quite a big tone. Do you really think you alone can overthrow the Empire? Aren’t you underestimating people too much!”
Ouyang Xiaoli also smiled. “You’ve been researching the Great Elder’s brain for tens of thousands of years without progress, haven’t you? But I might be different…”
“Who let me be the Great Elder’s descendant.”
Song Chengbing looked at the man coldly. Part of his purpose for this trip was indeed to meet this Underground City boss.
This person was harder to deal with than he imagined.
Xia Ni looked at Ouyang Xiaoli. “Xia Yi is just a transaction for you?”
Ouyang Xiaoli: “Of course not.”
He looked at Xia Yi with a pitiful expression behind Xia Ni, his heart softening. “How could he be a transaction? If it really was a transaction, I would be willing to exchange my life for him.”
Xia Ni snorted. “You sure have a glib tongue.”
Hearing Ouyang Xiaoli’s words, Xia Yi couldn’t help curving his eyes, smiling happily.
Ouyang Xiaoli continued, “I have found a blue planet named DB-762. The climate and environment there are similar to Ancient Earth, and many lives have been detected in the soil. I won’t let Xia Yi live in the lightless Underground City forever. If he is willing, I can take him to DB-762.”
“We will live there.”
Xia Yi’s eyes were very bright. “I’m willing!”
Ouyang Xiaoli’s eyes were steeped in tenderness, looking at the cute Xia Yi not far away.
At this moment, he was satisfied.
In this gain and loss, he finally knew how important Xia Yi was to him. He could give up everything, but he couldn’t live without Xia Yi.
He loved Xia Yi.
Wanted to be with Xia Yi forever.
Hearing the name of that planet, Xia Ni’s eyes flashed slightly, seemingly understanding something. He turned to look at Xia Yi smiling brightly.
He sighed gently in his heart.
Under his brother’s pleading, Xia Ni finally softened his heart. He stayed, sitting on the sofa, eating the potato soup cooked by his brother.
Xia Ni was quite surprised. “You made this?”
This did surprise him. When they were in the sea before, Xia Yi didn’t know how to hunt; he brought everything to him.
Xia Yi actually knew how to cook soup?
