"Alright. For Xiang Xiang's sake, I will let you guys live!" Chen Xiaobei said while shrugging. He was willing to take a step back because of Lin Xiang. After all, Tidal Faction was chosen by the government for Lin Xiang to join. So, there must be a particular reason behind it. And it was true that Lin Caoyin treated Lin Xiang really well. The only bad part was Lin Xiang's position in Tidal Faction was not high enough. That was why she was bullied by Wei Shenjing and the rest of them.

After this incident, Wei Shenjing, Lin Caoyin, and the rest of the disciples in Tidal Faction would definitely treat Lin Xiang with care and respect. Letting her continue growing in Tidal Faction is definitely better than changing a new faction. For her sake, Chen Xiaobei was more than willing to take a step back and listen to what she had to say. With Chen Xiaobei letting them live, Lin Caoyin would owe Chen Xiaobei a huge favor.

"Thank you Mr. Chen for showing us mercy! I, Lin Caoyin owes you a big favor officially! Just let me know if you need Tidal Faction's help in the future!"

"Thank you Mr. Chen for not killing us… Thank you so much!"

Wei Shenjing and the rest of the young ladies felt really grateful that Chen Xiaobei let them live to see another day. From today onward, they would not dare to offend or disrespect Chen Xiaobei anymore.

"Xiang Xiang. Do you want to have a Lunar New Year Eve reunion dinner with us?" asked Chen Xiaobei.

He could not care less about the rest of them.

"I…"

Taken aback, Lin Xiang actually really wanted to say yes to Chen Xiaobei. In the end, she decided to shake her head and said, "I don't think I will be joining you for the dinner. I want to celebrate this Lunar New Year Eve with my Shijie and Sifu! I'm now the disciple of Tidal Faction! I need to stop relying on you!"

"It seems like you have matured a lot! I'm not going to force you to join me. I would like to wish you a Happy Lunar New Year in advance!"

"Okay! Happy Lunar New Year to you as well!"

Lin Xiang put on a sweet smile and her beautiful eyes sparkled. After that, Chen Xiaobei left the shop with Hades. Immediately, the disciples of Tidal Faction started talking about Chen Xiaobei right after they left.

"Oh my God! Shimei Lin! Who in the world is your boyfriend?"

"Shimei Lin! You are so blessed! Where did you find such an awesome boyfriend?!"

"Shimei Lin! All of us here are so jealous of you!"

...

Wei Shenjing and the rest of the disciples kept on showering compliments. She was basking in joy – as though she was in heaven.

"Stop messing around! From today onward, Xiang'er is my Shimei! All of you have to address her as Shishu Lin!"

"Yes…"

Taken aback, the crowd put their hands together and bowed at Lin Xiang.

"Greeting Shishu Lin!"

"Ah? No… You guys…"

Feeling shocked, Lin Xiang was promoted from Shimei Lin to Shishu Lin within the blink of an eye.

"Xiang'er. You don't have to feel nervous about it. You will get used to it pretty soon!"

Lin Caoyin strode toward Lin Xiang and held her arm. She then whispered into her ears, "From today onward, you will be known as the vice faction leader of Tidal Faction! In private, we can call each other sister! Just get comfortable with it," said Lin Caoyin in a gentle manner.

"This…"

Like a dream, Lin Xiang could not believe that this was actually happening to her.

Suddenly, a man in a blood-red robe was standing at the corner of the shop and observing them.

"Duke, I don't think that kid realizes that we are here. We can kill him anytime from now!" said the follower.

"No rush! There is something I must acquire during the auction tomorrow! We can let this island stay like paradise for now! Tomorrow, I'm going turn this place into a living hell!"

Ding!

Ten billion dollars was transferred to Chen Xiaobei's account. A few minutes ago, Chen Xiaobei told Hades about the money that Wayson took from him. Not only did Hades make Wayson transfer the eight billion back to Chen Xiaobei's bank account but also forced him to transfer another two billion to it! Seeing that the amount of money in his account was increasing, Chen Xiaobei was elated.

After that, the Lunar New Year Eve dinner was officially started. There was a big and round table in the luxurious dining hall with everyone sitting around it. While they were talking, the top ten cooks from around the world constantly brought out dishes for them. The dishes were so well plated that they looked like pieces of art! All in all, there were Asian and western cuisine being served to them. To their surprise, the Asian cuisine was prepared by one of the royal chefs where his family used to cook for the emperor.

At the end of the dinner, Focker took out a bottle of red wine that was called Satan's Blood. There were only ten bottles in the entire world. He also even managed to come up with a bottle of 1970s Never Wine. Seeing that everyone was enjoying themselves during the dinner, it was definitely a joyful moment for all of them.

After the dinner, NeZha, Wenyuan, and Murong Xiaoyao went to the garden outside the castle to play with fireworks.

Xiaobai was lying on top of Sirius's head to stargaze at the balcony. As usual, he was acting all cool and arrogant.

Song Qincheng went to accompany Chen Xiaobei's parents to watch some Lunar New Year shows. It was obvious, she wanted to get closer to Chen Xiaobei's family.

Fire Boss' wife brought little Fire Boss with him to watch the show as well. With his adorable look, everyone just wanted to take the opportunity to play with him.

Xiangyu, Murong Tian, Fire Boss, Old Wang, and Jin Liu did not have enough alcohol during the dinner just now. So, they decided to stay back to have another joyful drinking session.

Focker and Hades were drinking with them as well.

As for Hong Haier, Jin Fei, and Cangjin Gu, these three people were already getting horny during the dinner. They took off to the brothel that they visited earlier right after the dinner was over.

Lastly, Chen Xiaobei was all by himself. Seeing that everyone was occupied with something, Chen Xiaobei snuck into one of the rooms prepared by Focker for him earlier. A sweet and chocolatey aroma came rushing at Chen Xiaobei once he opened the door. There were 999 pieces of Tiramisus that were decorated with gold foil being placed in the room. 1 Clearly, all those Tiramisus were not meant for him.

"Store!"

With a wave of his hand in the air, all the Tiramisus were kept in his Infinite Space Ring. He then put all of them into one big Red Envelope.

You guessed it right! Chen Xiaobei was going to snatch some Red Envelopes for himself!

Today was the Lunar New Year Eve and there was a massive Red Envelope snatching session being held in the group. According to Chang'e, every group member was obligated to give out Red Envelopes. In that case, the success rate of snatching more than one Red Envelope was greatly boosted today. And Chen Xiaobei would have the chance to snatch something new that he had never seen before. The most important thing was that the Prime of Tongtian would bring a mysterious present for Chen Xiaobei as well. Without a doubt, today was definitely the best day of his life.

*Deep breath*

*Deep breath*

Chen Xiaobei took in a few deep breaths and put up a ready-to-combat pose. Tapping his finger on the cell phone's screen, the group chat was opened. ???
