Ning Su Acts, Saving Ya Fei

"After what you've done, aren't you afraid the Mite'er Family will settle the score with you once they find out?"

Though she had been captured, Ya Fei refused to yield, her attitude still unyielding.

Feng Shan's group had temporarily stopped to rest in the desert.

He walked up to Ya Fei and sneered. "Other than you, every last member of the Mite'er Family is dead. By now, their corpses have probably been gnawed clean by the magical beasts in the desert."

"Who would know that we were the ones who killed you? I can simply say the Snake-People Race did it."

"The Snake-People Race has been unusually active lately. Your Jia Ma Empire has been on guard against them too, hasn't it?"

"Otherwise, why do you think we wanted to choose the Tagor Desert as the trading location? Wasn't it so the Snake-People Race could take the blame?"

"Besides, no one will be returning alive now. No one will ever know the truth."

Feng Shan's words made Ya Fei's face turn deathly pale with anger.

This cooperation had been proposed by the Fengxing Auction House. To show equal respect, they had allowed the Fengxing Auction House to choose the location.

Although they had found it somewhat strange that the Fengxing Auction House had chosen a place near the Tagor Desert, no one had given it much thought.

But they never could have imagined that the Fengxing Auction House intended to use the Snake-People Race as cover to rob them!

"Why are you doing this?" Ya Fei asked unwillingly. "If this is only about robbing us, a few million gold coins shouldn't be enough to tempt you, should they?"

Feng Shan stepped before her and said, "Of course it's not for a few million gold coins. There is a blood feud between me and your Mite'er Family!"

"Back then, before our Feng Family rose to its current position, we clashed over some medicinal herbs at the border between your Jia Ma Empire and our Mulan Empire."

"During that conflict, my mother died at the hands of people from your Mite'er Family."

"The man who killed my mother was called Mitel Lian Shan!"

Ya Fei's pupils contracted slightly.

"If I remember correctly, Mitel Lian Shan was your father, wasn't he?"

"Though he is already dead, I have never forgotten this blood feud."

"Since I can't take revenge on him, I'll take revenge on his daughter instead!" A cold, bitter hatred surged in Feng Shan's eyes.

Ya Fei's face went pale.

She had not expected there to be such old grievances and hatred between them. No wonder Feng Shan had killed everyone else and kept only her alive.

So Feng Shan's true target had been her all along!

"Don't worry. I won't kill you so easily. You're so beautiful—it would be such a waste to kill you."

"I'll take you back, imprison you, and enjoy your body day and night."

A crazed desire appeared in Feng Shan's eyes.

Ya Fei was so beautiful, and her figure was so good. Killing her outright would be far too wasteful.

Naturally, he had to keep her and enjoy her properly!

"Come to think of it, just looking at you now makes my blood stir."

Feng Shan stared at Ya Fei's full breasts, his hand reaching toward her collar.

"You dare..."

Ya Fei's hands and feet were bound, leaving her completely unable to resist.

Just as Feng Shan's hand was about to grab her—

A fierce gale of wind and sand suddenly swept through the area.

"Not good, there's an enemy!"

The others immediately raised their guard.

Feng Shan quickly withdrew his hand as well, watching the surroundings vigilantly.

"Ah—!"

Screams rang out from within the wind and sand.

They saw only shadow after shadow, before people screamed and were sent flying.

"Retreat!"

Feng Shan shouted urgently.

The two Dou Wang-level guards rushed over at once, intending to protect him.

Yet they were forcibly dragged away.

Then, right before Feng Shan's eyes, a huge Five-Colored Python opened its bloody maw and swallowed them whole.

Crunchy!

The giant snake then vanished back into the wind and sand without a trace.

Feng Shan's legs immediately went weak from fright.

In his panic, he rushed to Ya Fei, using her as a hostage. From behind her, he drew a dagger and pressed it against her fair neck, "You... don't come any closer, or I'll kill her!"

He did not know who they were, only assuming they had come to rescue Ya Fei.

No one answered him.

But in the next moment, a pale cyan flame suddenly flared up along the dagger's blade, scorching Feng Shan so badly that he instinctively let go.

Then, the yellow sand beneath his feet surged up, swallowing him bit by bit until only his head remained above the surface.

Still shaken, Ya Fei did not dare move recklessly.

Until she saw a vaguely familiar figure emerge from the wind and sand ahead—

"Ning Su?"

The one who had come was Ning Su!

"Miss Ya Fei, we meet again." Ning Su smiled faintly.

It was quite unexpected to run into Ya Fei in a place like this.

The moment Feng Shan, trapped in the yellow sand, heard that the two knew each other, he hurriedly shouted, "Y-you can't kill me! Otherwise, our Fengxing Auction House will never let your MIT Ye'er Auction House get away with this!"

Ning Su walked over and pinched Feng Shan's chin. "Who told you I'm from the Mitel Auction House?"

"You're not from the Mite'er Family... Then who are you?"

"Didn't you just say you wanted to pin the murder of the Mite'ers on us? Don't you know who I am?"

"Y-you're one of the Snake-People Race?!" Feng Shan's eyes widened at once.

"Where are the medicinal herbs you traded for? Hand them over, and I can at least let you die quickly," Ning Su said.

"Hahaha, you want the medicinal herbs? Dream on, I—"

Crack!

Before Feng Shan could finish speaking, Ning Su snapped his neck.

If he did not want to talk, then he could die. Ning Su could find them himself.

The wind and sand around them gradually settled.

Ya Fei's pupils suddenly constricted—because she saw that the area was packed with Snake-People!

The Snake-People Race had killed everyone from the Fengxing Auction House.

Only Ya Fei had been left alive.

"Ning Su, y-you're one of the Snake-People Race?" She stared blankly at Ning Su, her emotions unbearably complicated.

"Is Miss Ya Fei surprised?"

She did not know what to say.

Ning Su was actually one of the Snake-People Race... She had never even dared imagine it!

"The medicinal herbs should be in someone's Storage Ring. Search for them." Ning Su gave the order to the surrounding snake-people.

They immediately began searching through the corpses around them.

At that moment, Ya Fei suddenly said, "I know where the medicinal herbs are."

Ning Su looked at her. "Where?"

"In Feng Shan's Storage Ring," she said.

Ning Su pulled Feng Shan out of the yellow sand and found the Storage Ring on his hand.

Sure enough, it contained a large quantity of medicinal herbs.

And the Snow Soul Fruit they had come for this time was among them as well.

Mission complete!

The others also stripped every Storage Ring from the bodies.

The matter was more or less resolved.

Now, only Ya Fei remained.

All the snake-people gathered around, looking at the human woman.

"Lord Little Black, how do you wish to deal with her?" Yue Mei asked.

The other snake-people chimed in one after another, "She's human. Just kill her."

"Exactly. What's the point of keeping a human alive?"

"But this woman is so beautiful. It would be such a pity to kill her. How about taking her back to warm Lord Little Black's bed?"

This snake-person knew what he was doing.

Ning Su said nothing. Instead, he held the dagger and walked toward Ya Fei...
