Pill Exchange Gathering

Things didn't go as Ya Fei had predicted.

Sure enough, a month later, unable to find Xiao Yan, the people from the Canaan Academy sent men to Wutan City in the Gamma Empire. They brought the members of the Xiao Family from Wutan City to the Canaan Academy overnight. They also sent men to Stone Desert City to capture Xiao Yan's two older brothers alive.

Canaan Academy declared that if Xiao Yan did not return the Fallen Heart Flame, it would take a body part from Xiao Zhan Xiao Zhan, Xiao Ding Xiao Ding, and Xiao Li Xiao Li, and then torture them to death.

The actions of the Canaan Academy are not those of a righteous sect.

Outside Peace Town, Xiao Zhan, Xiao Li, Xiao Ding, and members of the Xiao Clan, including Xiao Yu, were being held captive by people from the Canaan Academy. They were kneeling at the entrance of Peace Town. Behind them were five powerful individuals at the Dou Huang realm.

"Elder, isn't what we're doing a bit unfair?"

"Benevolence and righteousness? What is benevolence and righteousness? The enemy is acting like a thug towards us, so why should we talk about benevolence and righteousness with them? Xiao Yan, as a student of the Inner Academy of the Canaan Academy, should be grateful for the nurturing he received from the Canaan Academy, yet he stole our Inner Academy's treasures. Since he's acting like a thug towards us, then we'll act like a thug towards him. Xiao Yan, listen to me. Every day at noon, if you don't return our Inner Academy's treasures, I will take a part of your father Xiao Zhan's body. If you don't show up each day, I'll take one part each day. After your father has been torn to pieces, if you still don't show up, then it will be your eldest brother Xiao Ding, your second brother Xiao Li, and your clansmen's turn. Until you show up. Hear my command, noon has passed, today we will take one of Xiao Zhan's eyes."

The order was given, and the Canaan Academy students carrying out the execution did not hesitate. Their hands formed claws, gouging out Xiao Zhan's left eye.

"Ah!"

Xiao Zhan trembled. His pitiful voice sent chills down one's spine.

The Canaan Academy student carrying out the execution dropped the eyeball in his hand, raised his foot, and stomped on it hard.

Xiao Yan, who was among the onlookers, also witnessed this scene.

Xiao Yan clenched his fists tightly in anger, his fingernails digging into the flesh of his palms. Blood dripped from his fingers onto the ground.

"Xiao Yanzi, what do you plan to do?" Yao Chen asked.

"Teacher, how can I become much stronger in a short period of time?"

"You're still going to keep the Fallen Heart Flame?"

"Given the current situation, even if I hand over the Fallen Heart Flame, my family and I will still be held responsible. Canaan Academy is a behemoth that has been maneuvering among the large and small empires around the Black-Corner Region for years. Even if I hand over the Fallen Heart Flame, I will surely die, and my family will suffer retaliation from the Canaan Academy."

"If you don't hand it over, it will abuse your loved ones once a day," Yao Chen warned.

"So, I need to become stronger in a short period of time. Teacher, do you have any way to make me stronger in a short period of time?"

"Yes, there are, but..."

"Just what?"

"But this method, if you're not careful, could turn you into a demon!"

Black Emperor City

"Young Master Ye, quite a few old monsters have arrived in Black Emperor City these past two days. They're probably all after the Bodhi Transformation Saliva."

Ya Fei walked with a cat-like gait, her waist swaying gracefully as she went.

"Oh."

Ye Feng gave a curt reply.

Ye Feng, Zi Yan, Ya Fei, and the Little Amethyst Winged Lion King have been living in Black Emperor City for a month.

During this month, Ye Feng either traveled with them to enjoy the scenery or asked Ya Fei to give him a full-body massage, leaving no part of his body untouched.

Ye Feng wasn't sure if Ya Fei had truly accepted her role as a maid, or if it was simply because of her naturally open personality. Ya Fei never refused Ye Feng's requests. If Ye Feng asked for a full-body massage, she would give Ye Feng a full-body massage, thoroughly serving Ye Feng.

Ye Feng and his group stayed in Black Emperor City for an upcoming auction.

Ye Feng's original plan was to forcibly seize the treasures from the auction. This decision was opposed by Ya Fei.

Auctioning is Ya Fei's hobby. As an auctioneer, Ya Fei is preventing Ye Feng from forcibly seizing auction treasures. In Ya Fei's words, auctions can demonstrate the value of treasures. It's a way of showing respect for them. She has presided over so many auctions, but she has never participated in one as a bidder. She wants to participate in auctions as a bidder.

Ye Feng agreed to Ya Fei's request.

"Young Master Ye, this is the Black-Corner Region. After the auction, there will likely be a bloodbath," Ya Fei warned.

"Oh."

Ye Feng responded indifferently as before.

Ya Fei walked behind Ye Feng, looked at Ye Feng lying in the chair, and gently patted Ye Feng shoulder with her delicate hand. Ya Fei knew that Ye Feng didn't take those old monsters seriously at all.

"I heard that some people from the Central Plains forces have also come." Seeing that Ye Feng remained silent, Ya Fei moved on to a topic that interested Ye Feng: "Today, Canaan Academy arrested the entire Xiao Family in Wutan City. They also gouged out one of Xiao Zhan's eyes in Peace Town, forcing Xiao Yan to return the Fallen Heart Flame."

"Where is Xiao Yu?" Ye Feng asked curiously.

Ye Feng of Xiao Yu was limited to his memories from his previous life. He had only heard that Xiao Yu's legs were the longest and most shapely. He had come to the Douqi Continent and had never actually seen what Xiao Yu's legs looked like.

"He was also arrested. They said it was a case of guilt by association."

"Are her legs really as long and shapely as rumored?" Ye Feng asked.

Upon hearing Ye Feng's words, Ya Fei's massaging hands visibly paused for a moment.

"Young Master Ye, is that how you ask someone a question?" Ya Fei retorted, her voice dripping with jealousy.

"What, are you jealous? I was just asking. No matter how long her legs are, she can't compare to you in terms of allure," Ye Feng said.

"That's at least human language." Ya Fei smiled smugly. She continued to pound Ye Feng's shoulder. "I heard that Xiao Yan touched her leg when she was little, and that's why Xiao Yu chased him all over the city when they were young. She is indeed tall. But in terms of personality, she doesn't seem very easy to get along with."

"Um."

Ye Feng nodded, agreeing with Ya Fei's words.

Ye Feng was familiar with the Douluo storyline, and it was precisely because he knew this that he didn't deliberately search for Xiao Yu in Wutan City and when he arrived in Peace Town. Oh, and there was also the scheming Xiao Mei.

Ye Feng opened his eyes, suddenly grabbed Ya Fei's hand, and pulled Ya Fei into his arms.

"Young Master Ye, you... you won't do it again..."

Ya Fei blushed, lost in thought. Meeting Ye Feng's mischievous gaze, she knew Ye Feng was up to something again. Ye Feng nodded smugly, and Ya Fei clicked her tongue inwardly, saying, "Here we go again! You were playing until the wee hours last night!"
