Entering the City to Sell Medicine

With the Peak Dou Huang Experience Card and the Purple Cloud Wings that allowed him to fly, Yun Shu was not overly worried about his own safety. His main concern was Ya Fei.

She did not possess any strength at all, and she was damn alluring. They would surely run into plenty of losers trying to approach her along the way. That was the main reason Yun Shu had come with her.

Aboard the Flying Monster, Yun Shu and Ya Fei shared a room. However, Yun Shu did not play poker with Ya Fei in broad daylight. Instead, he worked hard at cultivating.

As a mere Two-Star Dou Zhe, he was a nobody wherever he went. That was why Yun Shu worked so hard.

A few days later, the flying beast carrying the two of them finally arrived at the Imperial Capital.

Before landing, Yun Shu draped himself in a black robe and activated the Divine Concealment Art to hide his aura, then followed Ya Fei off the beast.

Ya Fei did not say much. She knew Yun Shu was doing this to protect her from being harassed by those hooligans.

This made it seem as though Yun Shu were the bodyguard of a beauty like Ya Fei.

A person whose strength could not be seen, clad in a black robe from head to toe, could always put some pressure on others...

In truth, it was mainly to avoid trouble. Unless there were special circumstances, Yun Shu was reluctant to use the Peak Dou Huang Experience Card.

After all, he himself was only a Two-Star Dou Zhe, which was why he had to do this.

Soon, the two arrived at the Mittel Family in the Imperial Capital, which was also the headquarters of the Mittel Auction House.

"Ya Fei?" The expression of a Mittel Family elder changed when he saw the two enter the auction house. Ya Fei's family training period should have had about a year left. Why had she returned so early?

"Elder, don't overthink it. Ya Fei returned this time only because the Wu Tan City branch had no Fifth-Rank pill appraiser!" With Yun Shu, a Fifth-Rank Alchemist—and quite possibly a Sixth-Rank Alchemist comparable to Pill King Gu He—backing her, Ya Fei spoke with much greater confidence.

At the very least, she did not regard an ordinary elder like this one as worthy of concern.

"A Fifth-Rank pill appraiser... Could it be that you met a Fifth-Rank Alchemist in Wu Tan City?!" The elder's eyes widened as he stared at Ya Fei in astonishment.

"That's right. Ya Fei returned this time to auction the pills refined by that esteemed person!" Ya Fei took out several small jade bottles, each containing pills Yun Shu had refined.

The elder did not open the jade bottles to inspect them, because he was not an alchemist. Still, he knew that a woman like Ya Fei would not joke with her own career. Since she had confirmed that it was a Fifth-Rank Alchemist, there was basically no chance of error.

"Then this esteemed person must be..." The elder quickly noticed Yun Shu behind Ya Fei and spoke respectfully. Such a young Fifth-Rank Alchemist absolutely could not be offended.

Now that they had reached the headquarters of the Mittel Auction House, Yun Shu removed his black robe himself.

"Elder, you're overthinking it. That esteemed person dislikes crowds, so he merely sent his disciple to handle the matters concerning these pills!"

"So he is that esteemed person's disciple! Phew..." The elder hurriedly let out a breath of relief. Still, as the disciple of a Fifth-Rank Alchemist, he was surely an alchemist himself and could not be offended either.

Although a First-Rank Alchemist was not held in as much esteem in the Imperial Capital as in those backwater places, this young man's teacher was a Fifth-Rank Alchemist.

"Alright, Elder, arrange the auction for these pills! That esteemed person is waiting anxiously!" Ya Fei did not want to remain in this unpleasant place any longer. She planned to return once the auction was over.

The Mittel Family put profit above all else. Back when Ya Fei had neither strength nor backing, she could not even decide her own fate.

But now, she had support. There was no need to stay in this wretched place and suffer indignities.

Ya Fei entered the auction house carrying several high-grade pills and directly replaced the original auctioneer. After all, Ya Fei's looks and figure made her more suited to the position, so no one in the family objected.

Below the stage, Yun Shu watched the crowd erupt at Ya Fei's appearance, the corners of his lips lifting slightly.

That's my woman. None of you have a chance.

Watching Ya Fei help him boast about the effects of those pills made Yun Shu feel a little embarrassed. Although the pills were indeed more effective than those refined by ordinary Fifth-Rank Alchemists due to the Strange Fire, they were not nearly as exaggerated as Ya Fei claimed.

Very quickly, all six pills were sold.

Yun Shu had originally thought selling them for over four million would have been good enough, but he had still underestimated Ya Fei's charm...

Amid the frenzied bidding of those old perverts, the six pills were forcibly raised to six and a half million.

In other words, after repaying the three million, Yun Shu still had three and a half million left!

That was even more money than he had before drawing the Peak Dou Huang Experience Card.

Yun Shu became excited once more.

Since the Mittel Auction House wanted to befriend this Fifth-Rank Alchemist, they deliberately did not deduct any handling fees and handed the full amount to Ya Fei for her to take back.

"So this is what being an alchemist is like..." Ya Fei sighed softly as she followed behind Yun Shu.

"Your man's pretty good at making money, isn't he?" Yun Shu turned back and smiled at Ya Fei.

"Hmph!" Ya Fei shot Yun Shu a flirtatious glare.

"Heh! If I don't straighten you out, you won't behave, will you?!" Yun Shu walked up to Ya Fei, wrapped an arm around her captivating waist, and spoke fiercely into her ear.

"You little menace!" Ya Fei said, blushing shyly.

"Let's go! Back to Wu Tan City. For our future, I need to cultivate properly from now on!" After reaching a deserted place, Yun Shu wrapped Ya Fei in his arms. Just as Ya Fei blushed, thinking his beastly urges had suddenly risen, a pair of purple wings abruptly spread from his back.

"Time to take off!!" Yun Shu held Ya Fei and shot straight into the sky.

"!! What is this?!" In the air, Ya Fei stared at the Twin Wings behind Yun Shu in shock.

"Just a Flying Dou Technique." Yun Shu smiled faintly.

"Call me husband!" Yun Shu's hands, which were wrapped around Ya Fei's body, suddenly slid downward.

"D-Don't!!" Ya Fei's face immediately turned as red as a ripe apple.

Seeing that Yun Shu was unmoved, Ya Fei could only blush and weakly call out...

"Hubby~"
