Twenty-second Section: Division of Spoils Agreement

  The matter of the dwarf tribe has come to an end, and our group is on the road back home. I'm delighted by the scenery, with mountains looking good and water looking beautiful, my mood is exceptionally pleasant! After the agreement with Mother was terminated, I don't have to share half of it with her anymore, and I've got this golden mountain all to myself! Every time I take out this silver sword in the carriage to admire it, Mother's face always looks extremely colorful! Under my smugness, I finally irritated her.

  "You little scamp, I always thought something was off!" Mother said angrily

  "What's wrong?"

  "You've had a way to destroy that thing all along, but you pretended not to know and deceived me into tearing up the agreement! That way, you can have this precious sword all to yourself, right?"

  "Mom, it seems like I didn't force you to tear up the agreement, did I? You're the one who's afraid of taking risks! If you're willing to take on a risk of 1 million yuan, you can ask me to split it evenly now, right?" I explained.

  "Woe is me, you little scoundrel! You've even deceived your mother now. When I was giving birth to you, I almost lost my life. Now that you're grown up, you know how to deceive me!" Her mother's words were laced with tears.

  "Great! You said it yourself, how many times have you threatened me with this matter?"

  "I don't care, that's all!" Mother said loudly: "If you don't listen to me, I'll recite it in front of you every day!"

  "Alright! You won again! Let's discuss how to split it." The poor Daoist also

  "Haha, I knew it! You're a good boy!" Mom was overjoyed.

  "Mom, I clearly know you're pretending! But why do I always fall for it?"

  "Mom is a beautiful princess! Your father also falls for this trick every time! Alright, mom won't ask for more, give mom 1 million yuan!"

  "Dizzy, you didn't even get this much for selling me off?"

  "There must be this much money on your Magicrystal card!"

  The poor Dao magic crystal card indeed has more than 1,000w, and the rest of the money was exchanged for various materials and auctioned off ancient books. "How did you know?"

  "All your money comes from me, and I've almost had someone record every single penny you spend. So how much do you have left? I know it all!"

  "500 yuan, you have to leave me some change, right?"

  "You're just a little kid, what are you doing? Even Prince's gold coins aren't worth 100,000?"

  "No, all five princes were wealthy masters!"

  "Their money was given by their grandfather! It's just 1 million RMB, and even if you add it up, it's still less than yours!"

  "Why?"

  "It's not about winning people over or fighting for the throne! Don't worry about these things now, 8 million is a must!"

  "Mom, I have some hidden expenses you don't know about! So at most it's 5 million!"

  "What hidden expenses could be so much?" Mother exclaimed angrily

  "I've bought a lot of things like this, such as 'summoning cards'!"

  "Nonsense! You think you can just have it easily? Where's the thing you bought? Show me!"

  "Like this, look!" I handed the Dwarf Master's gift, a pair of gauntlets, to mom.

  "Wow, what a great sword! It's just right for your father who has been looking for a suitable weapon. Take it back and give it to him! He'll be thrilled!"

  "Alright! We're going back on his birthday anyway, so you can adopt Xianya as your daughter and we'll celebrate together!"

  "Good idea, so it's 500w then, but you have to tell me how to destroy that thing?"

  "Ugh, I have to make up nonsense again, it's so frustrating! Alright, here goes... It was like this, when I first put the venom from the nine-headed snake's poison sac into the ring. You know, the venom of a nine-headed snake is potent enough to melt even gold!"

  "Really! How come I didn't think of that? No wonder you drove us all to your back, it was like that! But how does the mark look like it wasn't corroded?" Mom asked suspiciously.

  "I quickly applied the poison to the blade of a sword, and before it corroded, I immediately chopped it off. After corroding for a bit, I wiped it off right away! It looks like I've chopped it off!"

  "What's the point of going through so much trouble? Can't you just use it directly? They said any method is fine, right?"

  "You know this, I've never dealt with dwarves before, don't know their temperament, afraid that using poison will cause them to make some trouble, after all it's also a treasure of the Golden Mountain, being cautious is always good!"

  "You're such a sly little devil! Sometimes I even think you're 60 instead of 6!"

  "Haha, it's all thanks to your good upbringing, mom!" The poor monk quickly gave a flattering comment.

  "This is certainly my credit!" Mom proudly said. Returning home to find that Father's birthday party had already begun preparations, although there was still a month! Grandpa couldn't stop praising me for this huge harvest, and the four older brothers all looked at me with envy.

  Xianya has already integrated into this family, her angelic and lovely expression has conquered everyone, I'm depressed to find that she's even more popular than me! Xianya is arranged to live in my courtyard, and judging from mom's attitude, it seems like she wants to find a child bride for me! What a sin! What a sin! This poor monk has never had any improper thoughts!

  The 60th birthday celebration of Father has finally begun, and he returned from the military base just three days ago. The guests invited are numerous, ranging from the king and queen to the five major families, with several hundred in total, and even the youngest is a marquis. Among the five major families, including the Ishihara family, Mother personally delivered the invitation, and they all came with their whole family to show respect. Watching my parents and the head of the Ishihara family chatting and laughing, I couldn't help but feel amused. They clearly hate each other so much that they want to bite each other, yet they greet each other like old friends. These aristocrats are really hypocritical!

  Xianya was officially adopted by her mother, and everyone praised her mother's good fortune. Xianya was so excited that she cried!

  The adults started to enjoy themselves, so I'll go find a few brothers with Xianya. We came to the side hall, where dozens of young masters from noble families gathered, and they naturally divided into four factions. The third prince is the second son of my queen's aunt, the eldest son is the crown prince, who is now studying at the high-level magic martial academy in the holy city with the second prince born to the stone original king. My family belongs to this faction, with four brothers and some young masters close to the dragon family standing behind him. The fourth prince is the son of the queen of Kuresu's house, which controls the white tiger army, and they are a faction in their own right. The fifth prince is from the stone original house, and they're all a bunch of troublemakers together. The rest are neutral.

  As we approached, we found the atmosphere was not quite right, with a smell of gunpowder in the air. The fifth prince was fiddling with his sword with a self-satisfied expression, while the third prince had a dark face! When he saw me coming, his eyes lit up and he hurriedly beckoned to me. We sat down beside him and listened to him explain what had happened.

  Originally, on this continent, due to years of war, the people were fierce and martial arts became a trend. The nobles were even more so, either engaging in direct duels or sending their subordinates to spar, with a high mortality rate, sometimes even using real weapons. Who among those who practice martial arts doesn't love swords? In the past, the Third Prince's swordsmanship had my mother's financial support, and his martial prowess had the backing of the Dragon Family's guards, which suppressed the Fifth Prince. This time, the Fifth Prince obtained a good sword and immediately suppressed the Third Prince, still muttering in his mouth, saying that even a dignified Third Prince didn't have a decent sword - how pathetic!

  The third prince said to me in a low voice, "Little brother, I've long heard that you have many treasures. Today, show your face and teach that kid a lesson! Next time, I'll treat you at Chunxiang Building!"

  "You dare take me there?" I asked in doubt.

  "Hey! I didn't say that! I wouldn't dare! If your mom or my mom found out, I'd be in big trouble. But anyway, you go deal with him first!"

  "Alright, I'll give it a try!" I said to the Fifth Prince: "Your Highness, I just arrived and haven't seen your treasured sword yet. May I have the chance to see it now?"

  "Your Highness! Let's give this country bumpkin a show!" said Ishihara Sanroku.

  Haha, the people around them all burst out laughing. After they had laughed enough, the fifth prince said: "I can let you see my treasure! Super magic sword!" As he spoke, he pulled out the sword from its scabbard to show me.

  I didn't make this magic sword myself? This one is relatively successful, it can release wind blades and acceleration spells. I only made the blade and hilt, the decorations and scabbard were all done by someone my mom found. That's why I didn't come out! This guy is really boastful! He's like he's holding a divine artifact or something, seeing that I'm not paying attention to him at all, he seems a bit bored, asking: "Country bumpkin! Are you stunned?" Another burst of maniacal laughter!

  The third prince pulled my clothes anxiously. I just said, "This kind of broken toy also dares to boast like this? Admire! It's really fearless for the ignorant!"

  "What did you say? You're just a useless thing, if you have the guts, bring out something better!" The Fifth Prince was furious.

  "Even something casual is ten times more expensive than this!"

  Everyone in the house was delighted! The third prince wasn't happy, he rolled his eyes and almost fainted. My older brother grabbed my ear and whispered: "What nonsense are you talking about? That sword is worth 1.5 million!"
