Sister Ya Fei

"Brother Xiaoran!"

"What is it?"

Xiao Yan said, "When the time comes, can you cheer for me?"

Bai Xiaoran smiled. "That depends on how well you perform."

Afterward, Bai Xiaoran and Hai Bodong left the Desert Iron Mercenary Group.

Old Yao clicked his tongue. "Little Yanzi, he's a boy. Why not find a woman to cheer for you?"

"But Brother Xiaoran seems like he can be either male or female. Either way, it doesn't make a difference."

Old Yao paused but said nothing about it, continuing, "He absorbed the Heavenly Flames. Without that Heavenly Flames, you'll be at a great disadvantage during the Three-Year Agreement."

"Losing isn't scary. As long as I give it my all, that's enough."

Old Yao smiled. "Good. It's good that you can see things that way."

Meanwhile, Bai Xiaoran and Hai Bodong were also on their way to the Mite'er Family.

A short while later, the two successfully arrived at the Mite'er Family's auction house. Looking at the bustling venue, Bai Xiaoran said, "This is much better than Wutan City."

"This is the main auction house, so naturally it's different. Let's go inside and take a look!"

After entering the auction house, they found plenty of people on every floor.

"Let's go upstairs."

Bai Xiaoran wanted to head upstairs, but the guards immediately stopped him.

"Sorry, Miss, passage is forbidden here."

"If Miss wants to go up, just spend one night with me."

A foppish young master approached with a smile, looking Bai Xiaoran up and down. "Miss, since this is your first time at the Mite'er Family auction house, I can show you around."

"That won't be necessary." Bai Xiaoran had no desire to speak with him.

"Little Sister Xiaoran, it's been so long. I didn't expect to see you here."

A mature, alluring voice drifted over. Looking ahead, Bai Xiaoran saw the curvaceous Ya Fei walking over step by step. Brushing past Leilei, she lifted Bai Xiaoran's chin with her slender hand. "Little Sister Xiaoran has become even prettier. Come, call me Sister so I can hear it."

Bai Xiaoran's face reddened. "S-Sister Ya Fei."

"What a good girl. Sister will take you upstairs."

Ya Fei took Bai Xiaoran's little hand and led him upstairs.

Hai Bodong's expression shifted. In front of Ya Fei, this kid was completely like a raw recruit, utterly incapable of resisting.

Leilei stared at their retreating figures. "They're both mine. The joy of having one on each arm—I understand it better than anyone."

"Ever since we parted in Wutan City, we haven't seen each other for a long time. Sister really wants to hear about what you've been through these past few years."

"There's nothing much to tell."

Ya Fei stopped and leaned her red lips close to Bai Xiaoran's ear, whispering, "If you won't tell me, I'll drag you to the center of the auction house tonight and introduce you to everyone. When that happens, will you be embarrassed, or will I?"

"You're shameless."

"So what if Sister is a little shameless?"

Ya Fei continued leading Bai Xiaoran upstairs.

Hai Bodong could not help but smile. What a rare sight. Ya Fei was actually teasing Bai Xiaoran this fiercely.

When they reached a corridor, before Ya Fei could continue speaking, Leilei suddenly emerged from nearby and tried to block them. Bai Xiaoran immediately grabbed Ya Fei and flashed past him.

Ya Fei stared in surprise at Bai Xiaoran. "Little Sister has grown stronger again!"

"Move. Don't touch me."

"Touching you won't cost you anything."

Watching Ya Fei leave, Leilei shouted, "Ya Fei, were you waiting for this woman? I admit she has some looks, but you're a woman too. You can't possibly like women instead of men, can you?"

Ya Fei said, "I, Ya Fei, like women. As for men, I've never had any interest in them."

"What?! I pursued you so earnestly, and this is how you treat me?"

Leilei immediately flared with anger, releasing his aura. "If I don't show the Miss beside you, she won't know who calls the shots in the Mite'er Family."

"One-star Dou Shi?"

Leilei smiled. "Scared?"

Bai Xiaoran flashed before Leilei in an instant. "Not scared. I'm laughing at how ignorant you are of your own limits."

He sharply raised his leg and struck Leilei directly between the legs.

"Y-You shameless woman!"

Leilei clutched his vital area and immediately screamed in pain.

Bai Xiaoran was about to continue, but Ya Fei immediately wrapped her arms around him from behind. "Xiaoran, you must not kill him. He isn't worth killing for my sake."

"Fine. I'll listen to Sister."

Ya Fei's heart warmed. Though impulsive, he still listened to her.

Leilei roared, "Ya Fei, you'll regret this!"

"Regret it? I'm looking forward to it!"

Ya Fei did not care in the slightest as she led Bai Xiaoran toward her room.

As she watched their figures recede, Leilei clenched his fists. Fine, Ya Fei. Since that's how it is, don't blame me. That woman will be mine too. Once raw rice is cooked, let's see what you'll do!

After arriving in the room, Ya Fei poured two cups of tea.

"Thank you for helping me settle things."

"It was nothing."

"Little Sister Xiaoran, what did you come here for this time? You can't have come just to see Sister, can you?"

Bai Xiaoran smiled gently. "What if I really did come to see Sister?"

Ya Fei's heart skipped a beat. That little fellow's smile was far too devastating. She immediately said, "Sister is very happy to hear you say that, but tell me what you need."

"Prepare a room for me, as well as medicinal ingredients for cultivation and a suitable weapon."

"Those are simple enough. As for the weapon, I'll look around and try to find you a better one."

"Then I'll trouble Sister Ya Fei."

Just as Ya Fei was about to continue, the door was suddenly kicked open.

"Ya Fei, you've got some nerve. A woman nearly made my grandson incapable of having children."

Upon seeing the newcomer, Ya Fei immediately sensed trouble and stepped forward. "Elder Lei, that isn't what happened."

Lei Ou snorted. "Then what happened? And you, woman, you struck so viciously. Aren't you afraid you won't be able to leave this place?"

Bai Xiaoran looked at Lei Ou. "You're bullying a young girl and think you're in the right? It's already merciful that I didn't cripple him."

Lei Ou glared at Bai Xiaoran while Leilei kept fanning the flames beside him. Ya Fei immediately wanted to kick Leilei flying.

"He is an important member of my Mite'er Family. If you dare lay a hand on him, aren't you afraid the Patriarch will deal with you?"

Lei Ou burst out laughing. "What arrogance. You're only an Acting Elder."

Ya Fei wanted to explain, but she truly was only an Acting Elder.

Leilei stepped forward and tried to grab Ya Fei, but Bai Xiaoran immediately kicked him flying.

Lei Ou froze. Just as he was about to order an attack, Hai Bodong casually threw out a teacup, sending Lei Ou flying out of the room.

"Have that useless Teng Shan come see me. I want to see how he manages his subordinates."

Lei Ou was shocked. This man actually dared call Teng Shan useless. Then, seeing the Dou Emperor aura Hai Bodong released, he did not dare show the slightest negligence.

Ya Fei was also amazed. She immediately poured Hai Bodong another cup of hot tea, then looked at Bai Xiaoran with a delighted smile. "Little Sister, you're amazing. You even know such a powerful expert."

"It was just a convenient thing."

Hai Bodong said nothing. Compared to Ya Fei, he still could not understand how Queen Medusa could possibly be connected to Bai Xiaoran.
