Chapter 99: My Birthday Gift is the Most Awesome

The birthday celebration for the younger generation in Yaori City had been conducted very quickly.

Each person had been extremely generous, spending hundreds of thousands or even millions of Obsidian coins as birthday gifts.

You should know that these were just birthday gifts. In Wang Xiaofei’s previous life, even a white-collar worker with a monthly salary of 20,000 would probably only give a couple of thousand to an elder for their birthday.

From this, it could be seen how wealthy the young people of Yaori City had been.

Soon, all the young people had finished giving their birthday gifts, and it was Wang Xiaofei’s turn.

At this moment, the whole venue had suddenly fallen eerily silent.

The vast majority of people had received the notification that although Wang Xiaofei had been extraordinarily talented, he had been a poor kid with no impressive gifts to offer. Everyone had been waiting to see him make a fool of himself.

At this moment, everyone’s eyes had turned to Wang Xiaofei.

Disdain had been evident in the eyes of people like Liu Tang.

Hatred had been hidden in Wu Fa’s eyes.

Among Lin Yue’er’s close friends, there had been various thoughts. Some had been worried, while others had been jealous of Lin Yue’er and had been waiting to see Wang Xiaofei embarrass himself.

Lin Yue’er, however, hadn’t been too worried. Before coming, she and Wang Xiaofei had prepared a birthday gift together. It had been a painting called “Furious Waves,” rumored to have been drawn by a Martial King Realm practitioner who had been skilled in the ‘Heavenly Dao of Water.’ Although it had been a casual sketch, it had contained the qi of the ‘Heavenly Dao of Water.’ Lin Pingfeng had been practicing the ‘Heavenly Dao of Water,’ so this painting had been quite suitable for him.

However, the price had only been one million Obsidian coins, not as valuable as Liu Tang’s gift.

But it hadn’t been too awkward.

Lin Pingfeng and Lin Yi had also been watching Wang Xiaofei. They hadn’t known that everyone else had been preparing to laugh at Wang Xiaofei. However, they had been quite curious about what birthday gift Wang Xiaofei would give.

Wang Xiaofei had ascended the steps and had respectfully bowed to Lin Pingfeng.

“Old sir, may your happiness be as immense as the East Sea, and may your life be as long as Mount Nanshan!” Wang Xiaofei had said.

“Hmm, you may rise,” Lin Pingfeng had responded. He had felt that Wang Xiaofei had been quite decent. Although other aspects hadn’t been evident, this level of composure had been acceptable.

“Quickly bring out the birthday gift, let us broaden our horizons,” a voice had suddenly interrupted.

“Hmm?” Everyone’s eyes had turned toward the source of the sound, only to see a middle-aged man scolding his child, who had appeared to be only seven or eight years old. The child had likely been instigated by someone.

Everyone present had been discerning and had seen through the trickery behind this.

Having a child speak out had been rude, but the Lin family wouldn’t have said anything.

Sure enough, Lin Pingfeng and Lin Yi had only glanced in that direction before withdrawing their gaze.

At this point, everyone had become even more curious, wanting to see what birthday gift Wang Xiaofei would actually give.

Wang Xiaofei had flicked his storage ring.

Immediately, an ugly and ordinary bottle had appeared in his hand. This bottle had been about a foot tall, resembling a watering can for flowers.

“This…” Upon seeing that Wang Xiaofei had actually brought out a bottle instead of the ‘Furious Waves’ painting they had prepared together, Lin Yue’er had been taken aback, unclear about what was happening. “Could it be that Xiaofei got nervous and took the wrong item?” Lin Yue’er had thought to herself.

At such a moment, making such a mistake could have been troublesome.

Because of her nervousness, Lin Yue’er had tightly gripped the armrest of her chair.

Beside her, several girls who had been closely watching Lin Yue’er had noticed her change in demeanor and had shown smug smiles on their faces.

That Wang Xiaofei was indeed about to embarrass himself.

“This bottle looks ordinary, not at all striking. Presumably, whatever is inside is also extremely mundane. Wang Xiaofei, as Yue’er’s boyfriend, coming to wish the elder a happy birthday, isn’t giving such a gift a bit excessive?”

At this moment, Liu Tang had suddenly stood up, his brows furrowed, looking as if he were a righteous person who couldn’t stand to see injustice.

“Exactly. This Wang Xiaofei really doesn’t understand things.”

“Yue’er too, why didn’t she help Wang Xiaofei choose a gift? Giving such a birthday gift, what kind of impression does that make?”

Hearing the crowd’s comments, a hint of smugness had appeared in the depths of Liu Tang’s eyes.

First, he would give Wang Xiaofei a bad impression in front of Lin Yi and Lin Pingfeng. Then, he would slowly plot against him, not believing that Lin Yue’er could escape his grasp.

He had been a clever person all his life, extraordinarily talented in cultivation, never caring about temporary wins or losses, a true ambitious character.

At this moment, he had been executing his plan step by step.

“Liu Tang really has an outstanding ability to seize opportunities,” even Wu Fa couldn’t help but sigh. Those youths who had only realized what was happening after Liu Tang spoke had shown regretful expressions on their faces. What a great opportunity to stand out, and Liu Tang had snatched it away.

Hearing Liu Tang’s words, Wang Xiaofei had touched his nose.

He hadn’t wanted this either.

Originally, when he had broken through the Hengyang branch of the Omnipotent Sect, he had found this good item in the storage ring of a three-star Martial Spirit Realm disciple. Wang Xiaofei hadn’t planned to use it as a birthday gift for Lin Pingfeng.

However, he had seen through the intentions of Liu Tang and others. If he had brought out the ‘Furious Waves’ painting, he would likely still be ridiculed by these people. That’s why he had made a last-minute decision to use this item. He simply hadn’t had time to change the packaging.

Ignoring Liu Tang, Wang Xiaofei had slightly opened the lid of the bottle in his hand, allowing Lin Yi and Lin Pingfeng to sense the aura inside. Then, he had closed the lid again.

At first, Lin Yi and Lin Pingfeng had also frowned a bit, thinking that Wang Xiaofei hadn’t taken the elder’s birthday banquet seriously.

However, when they had seen Wang Xiaofei open the lid and sensed the aura inside,

Suddenly, both of their expressions had changed dramatically.

“Crack.”

A crisp sound had echoed.

Lin Pingfeng had been unable to control his emotions and had shattered the armrest of his chair with his grip.

It was evident how excited he had been!

“Xiaofei,” Lin Yi had called out, then felt he had lost his composure. He had steadied his emotions before continuing, “Are you sure you want to give this as a birthday gift?”

Although he had tried to make his tone as steady as possible, a slight tremor could still be heard in his voice.

“It’s a small token of my respect,” Wang Xiaofei had respectfully said.

“May I take another look at it?” Lin Yi had asked.

Wang Xiaofei had nodded and had handed the bottle to Lin Yi.

Lin Yi had brought the bottle in front of his father and had gently opened the lid, revealing a small gap.

This time, even though they had been prepared, both had been deeply moved. Especially Lin Pingfeng, whose wrinkled old face had shown a glow of excitement.

This bottle had been too important for him and for the Lin family.

Having carefully placed the bottle into his storage ring, Lin Pingfeng and Lin Yi had looked at Wang Xiaofei.

“Xiaofei, thank you!”

Though the words had been few, they had been spoken with heartfelt sincerity, making them feel weighty.

“Hehe, Uncle, you’re too polite,” Wang Xiaofei had touched his nose.

Lin Yi hadn’t said anything more; he had simply taken Wang Xiaofei’s hand and walked over to Lin Yue’er. Then, he had solemnly placed Lin Yue’er’s hand into Wang Xiaofei’s.
