Chapter 12: Class Reunion Part 1 (Making Up for Yesterday's Missed Update)
Chapter 12: Class Reunion 1 (Supplement to Yesterday’s Missed Update)
In Beijiang, if you were to ask which is the best restaurant, opinions would vary widely.
But if you’re talking about a place that offers a complete package of dining, entertainment, and high-end facilities, none could compare to the Dragon Emperor Pavilion. Even people from the provincial capital often come here to indulge.
At this moment, luxury cars filled the front of the Dragon Emperor Pavilion, and guests swarmed about.
A Maybach, specially extended and customized, slowly pulled up to the entrance.
This lavish Maybach immediately drew many admiring glances.
The doorman hurried over respectfully and opened the car door.
First to jump out were two little girls, delicate and perfectly formed, like jade figurines.
The two girls looked identical, no older than four or five, as if they had stepped out of a comic book.
Soft and adorable.
Many girls watching couldn’t help but admire them with sparkling eyes, wishing they could snatch one up right then.
Following them down was a woman of refined elegance, like a rare orchid in a secluded valley. She wore a simple skirt suit, her features as picturesque as a painting.
This scene left many people momentarily stunned.
Not far off, a group of girls covered their mouths in surprise.
“Isn’t that Tang Xuan’er from our class?”
“Yes! That’s her! But I thought she wasn’t married? How come she has kids already?”
“Hmph, always pretending to be so pure and aloof, but turns out she’s just a kept woman for some rich guy,” sneered a freckled girl on her face.
“There aren’t many who can afford such a car in Beijiang! Who could that person be?” many thought to themselves.
Just then, Xue An also stepped out of the car.
His appearance stirred even more commotion among the girls.
“That’s Xue An!”
“Wasn’t he missing? How did he suddenly come back?”
“He actually dared to show up! Hong Shao had already threatened to take care of him!”
“Look at his shabby clothes—he doesn’t look rich at all. Maybe he’s just putting on a big front, renting the car!” the freckled girl sneered again.
This girl was Song Jing, known for her sharp tongue and snobbish attitude. Alongside Zhang Yan and Du Juan, she was one of the three notorious troublemakers in the class.
“Hehe, Hong Shao went to pick up the big star Fan, so there’s probably going to be some drama soon!” the girls whispered, full of malicious glee.
“Daddy, this place is so big and beautiful!” Xue Xiangdong looked around curiously.
“Big? It’s okay. Wait till later, Daddy will take you to see what real luxury is,” Xue An replied, feeling indifferent.
Despite the Dragon Emperor Pavilion’s reputation for having over 500 million yuan spent just on decoration, including a three-meter-long golden dragon made of pure gold in the main hall—hence its name—
this extravagance could indeed catch the eye of ordinary people.
But for an immortal lord like Xue An, who had witnessed countless grand scenes, this place felt... rather humble.
Back in the True Immortal Realm, an ordinary banquet required slaughtering thousands of giant dragons.
When the realm’s lord once hosted Xue An, they even killed ten ancient divine dragons, serving the feast on plates made from phoenix bones.
Such scenes were unimaginable to mortals.
So this carved “golden dragon” was no more to Xue An than a pig.
However, his comment drew some sideways glances from nearby.
A man with green-dyed hair, holding a flashy woman, scoffed at Xue An’s words.
“Where did this bumpkin come from, talking so big!”
Before Xue An could respond, Xue Nian burst into giggles.
“What’s so funny?” Xue Xiang, hands on her hips, took on the role of the elder sister.
“This uncle’s hair looks like a bird’s nest!”
Xue Xiang looked carefully and couldn’t help laughing too.
“It really does!”
Their innocent remarks caused many around to cover their mouths and chuckle, because indeed, the man’s hair resembled a tangled bird’s nest.
His face flushed with anger as he shot Xue An a hateful glare and stormed off.
Xue An smiled faintly. For such insignificant pests, he didn’t bother to pay attention. But if anyone dared to provoke him again, he wouldn’t hesitate to turn their head into a real bird’s nest.
“Xuan’er, over here! Over here!” Song Jing called out, her face now full of smiles, masking her earlier sharpness.
Tang Xuan’er hesitated briefly, then walked over. “Song Jing, long time no see!”
“Tsk, tsk, it really has been a long time. Didn’t expect you to have kids now! Two little girls, so cute! Are they twins?” Song Jing asked with a smile.
Tang Xuan’er shook her head. “They’re not my children. They’re Xue An’s daughters.”
Xue An has children?
Song Jing and the others glanced at Xue An nearby, their eyes full of disdain.
Dressed so poorly and bringing children to a reunion—it was obvious he hadn’t done well in life.
“Let’s go! We’ll wait in the ‘Number One Sky’ room first! Hong Shao took the boys to pick up the star Fan Mengxue. He should be back soon!” Song Jing dragged Tang Xuan’er along.
“What about Xue An?”
“Him? If he wants to come, he can follow along. But the rooms are full of girls now.”
Just then, Xue Xiang quietly tugged on Xue An’s clothes.
“What is it?” Xue An bent down to ask.
“Daddy, I want to go to the bathroom!” Xue Xiang said, her cheeks flushed.
“Me too, me too!” Xue Nian chimed in.
“Uh… alright then,” Xue An said, following them into the private room.
“Number One Sky” was the most luxurious and expensive private room in the Dragon Emperor Pavilion, naturally equipped with a restroom.
But once inside, he found the room filled with beautiful young women—many he didn’t recognize, and some he vaguely remembered but couldn’t name.
“Isn’t that Xue An from our class?”
“It is! Why didn’t he go pick up Fan Mengxue?”
“Shh, don’t ask. Hong Shao will be back soon!”
Amid the murmurs, Xue An’s expression remained calm. He asked Xue Xiang and Xue Nian, “Can you go by yourselves?”
“Yeah!” the two girls nodded and went into the restroom.
Xue An stood by the door, waiting.
Tang Xuan’er tried several times to approach him but was held back by Song Jing with various excuses.
All the women’s eyes in the room were on him now.
But Xue An paid them no mind.
What a joke.
To him, these people were not even worth a drop of makeup, much less their gazes.
His mind was as solid as a rock, so he stood there with a calm demeanor that carried an air of pride.
Though his clothes were ill-fitting, they could not conceal his sharp, blade-like aura.
Gradually, the chatter died down.
Back in school, Xue An had been the campus heartthrob, secretly admired by many girls.
Now, despite his plain appearance, his looks and bearing were even more impressive than before, stirring strange feelings in their hearts.
Xue An noticed this but smiled it off.
Back in the Qingqiu Immortal Realm, he had once, with just a glance, eloped with the nine-tailed sacred maiden, provoking the entire fox demon clan to hunt him down.
If even such an extraordinary woman, renowned throughout the universe, was no match for him, these mediocre mortals were beneath notice.
