Stronger Against the Strong

"Maid?"

Ya Fei came here seeking help; her original intention was not to become a maid.

"Is there a problem? I have no intention of taking on apprentices. The only ones who can stay by my side are my maids or my women."

Ye Feng spoke calmly, his gaze fixed steadily on Ya Fei.

Ya Fei hesitated, then boldly met Ye Feng's gaze. She began to ponder whether or not to agree to Ye Feng's request.

Ye Feng is a sixth-grade alchemist and a super strong expert at the level of Dou Zun or above. Even Hemp Robe Old Jia does not dare to be presumptuous in front of Ye Feng.

Ya Fei felt that such a person was someone she could serve.

The strong get stronger, and they become stronger when faced with stronger opponents.

Having navigated the treacherous waters of Wutan City, Ya Fei possessed a deep understanding of the ways of the world. It was through her acquaintance with Gu Ni, a second-grade alchemist, that she was able to quickly become the chief auctioneer of the Mittel Auction House in Wutan City.

By befriending Gu Ni, a second-grade alchemist, one can become the chief auctioneer at the auction house.

Now that Ya Fei has climbed up to a person who is an alchemist capable of refining Rank 6 Pill, how high will her status rise?

Ya Fei decided to seize this opportunity. As long as Ye Feng's demands weren't too unreasonable, becoming Ye Feng's maid wasn't out of the question.

"No problem," Ya Fei said.

After much deliberation, Ya Fei decided to agree to Ye Feng 'Ye Feng request and become his personal maid.

"Then you can go back now." Ye Feng looked at Gu Ni.

"Senior, I... I can become your Apothecary Assistant," Gu Ni offered.

"No need," Ye Feng said.

"Senior, your status and appearance are too esteemed to be served by only one person."

"You're not leaving, are you?"

Ye Feng looked at Gu Ni calmly.

With just a glance, Gu Ni felt immense pressure.

Gu Ni Byakugan was a sixth-grade alchemist. If he could get on the good side of this person, it would be beneficial to his alchemy career.

Therefore, Gu Ni did not want to give up.

It's a pity that Ye Feng didn't give Gu Ni the right to cling to his coattails.

Moreover, judging from Ye Feng's tone at the end, if Gu Ni didn't leave, Ye Feng was going to be quite ruthless.

"Miss!"

Gu Ni looked at Ya Fei with pleading eyes.

A hint of embarrassment appeared on Ya Fei's face. She had only just become Ye Feng's maid, and now she wanted Ye Feng to help Gu Ni? How could that be possible? Wouldn't that be clearly telling Ye Feng that she, Ya Fei, had ulterior motives for becoming Ye Feng maid?

Moreover, she was just a personal maid, so what right did she have to ask her "master" for help?

Ya Fei hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped herself.

"I'll give you some pointers out of respect for Ya Fei."

Ye Feng didn't make things difficult for Ya Fei. He pointed his fingertip towards Gu Ni's brow. A wisp of information seeped into Gu Ni's brow, and numbers and medicinal herbs flickered in Gu Ni's mind.

Ye Feng didn't offer Gu Ni many opportunities. He only provided Pill Recipe below the fifth rank and some alchemy techniques. Given Gu Ni's status and talent, becoming a fourth-rank alchemist would be his limit in his lifetime.

Moreover, anything produced by Ye Feng is guaranteed to be of high quality.

Ye Feng believed that with the opportunities he had given Gu Ni, even if Gu Ni could only become a fourth-grade alchemist in the future, she would definitely be able to stand on equal footing with those fifth-grade alchemists, and her reputation as a deity would be no weaker than that of a sixth-grade alchemist.

The profession of alchemist is profound and complex. There's a lot more to it than meets the eye.

Even if an alchemist like Dan Dan possesses Pill Recipe, she may not be able to refine the pill. Even if she can refine a pill, she may not be able to refine a mid-grade, high-grade, or even top-grade pill. This involves numerous intricate details in the alchemy process. Without decades of experience, it's simply impossible to refine a top-grade pill.

The opportunity Ye Feng gave Gu Ni was incredibly rich in information. In particular, the theory of Yin-Yang and Eight Trigrams in alchemy was enough to make Gu Ni a renowned alchemist in the Gamma Empire and the surrounding empires in the near future.

Gu Ni knelt down excitedly and performed a deep bow to Ye Feng. Such a profound gesture was reserved for Heaven, Earth, Ruler, Parents, and Teacher. This clearly demonstrated the immense respect Gu Ni held for Ye Feng.

Of course, Gu Ni was in his thirties or forties, and he already regarded Ye Feng as his master. He had taken it upon himself to consider himself Ye Feng's Nominal Disciple. That's why he bowed so deeply to Ye Feng.

"Um."

Ye Feng grunted. He waved his sleeve, signaling Gu Ni to leave.

Gu Ni nodded and bowed ninety degrees to Ye Feng. He then bid farewell to Ya Fei and left the villa.

"How should I address you?" Ya Fei asked.

"Just call me... Young Master Ye," Ye Feng said.

Ye Feng is the Creation God of the Douluo Plane, but in the Battle Through the Heavens, he only has the cultivation level of Dou Zun.

The word "master" sounded strange to Ye Feng.

Young Master Ye!

It doesn't sound awkward, and it won't lower Ye Feng's status in front of Ya Fei.

"Young Master Ye, thank you for what happened earlier," Ya Fei said.

"Stop being narcissistic. I just did what I wanted to do. No one can stop me from doing what I want to do. No one can force me to do what I don't want to do." Ye Feng clearly didn't want to continue the conversation on this issue and asked, "Do we need to prepare luggage?"

"Are we leaving Wutan City?"

"Are you reluctant to part with it?"

"There's no reluctance. Wutan City is just a small place." Ya Fei had always believed that she didn't belong in Wutan City. Wutan City wasn't her stage. "I don't need to prepare any luggage. Uncle Gu Ni will handle the auction. We can leave anytime. Young Master Ye, where are we going?"

"Mo City".

"Mo City?"

"Before we go to Mo City, let's go to the Monster Beast Forest first."

"Okay. I'll go prepare your luggage right away."

Ya Fei took a step and turned to walk into the room. She had only taken one step when Ye Feng grabbed her hand. She stopped and looked at Ye Feng with a puzzled expression.

Ye Feng explained, "I don't need to prepare any luggage either. Before I leave, I'll give you an opportunity."

"What opportunity?"

Ya Fei looked at Ye Feng excitedly.

She admitted that she had ulterior motives for becoming Ye Feng's maid. She just hadn't expected to reap the benefits so quickly.

"You're only at the Dou Qi Level 7." Ye Feng raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Because of my talent, my cultivation progress is extremely slow," Ya Fei said, her head bowed. This was something she felt ashamed of.

"Then let's start with talent. Sit down," Ye Feng instructed.

Ya Fei did as she was told and sat down on the side.

Ye Feng reached out and placed his hands on Ya Fei's shoulders. A wisp of gray energy flowed along his hands, seeping into Ya Fei 'Ya Fei body and entering her meridians.

"Well!"

Ye Feng was stunned.

A physical form of Ya Fei appeared in Ye Feng's Sea of Consciousness. It resembled a model. Every single hair on Ya Fei's body was clearly imprinted in his mind, not to mention anything else.
