Seeing Ya Fei Again

Hearing this, Xiao Chen thought, This girl's sense of smell is too sharp. But how could he possibly admit to something like that? A faint blush rose to his handsome young face as he said:

"There's no other woman's scent. It might be the fragrance of medicine—I've been refining pills these past few days. But Xun'er's nose really is sharp."

Xiao Chen spread his hands in explanation.

"Is that so?"

Xiao Xun'er's beautiful eyes studied Xiao Chen as she asked softly.

Under Xiao Xun'er's gaze, Xiao Chen could not help feeling guilty. He quickly changed the subject. "Xun'er, I have other matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving first. As for the money for the medicinal ingredients and Medicine Cauldron last time..."

Walking up to Xiao Xun'er, Xiao Chen stretched out his fair, slender hand and affectionately rubbed her little head, saying gently.

Yet as Xiao Chen reached the end of his sentence, his expression grew somewhat awkward. After all, constantly borrowing money from a girl was hardly appropriate.

"Brother Xiao Chen, do we really need to keep things so clearly divided between us?"

Xiao Xun'er naturally noticed the look on Xiao Chen's face and said shyly.

"You're right. We'll be family sooner or later."

Xiao Chen looked at Xiao Xun'er's delicate, slightly flushed face. His long fingers pinched her pretty cheek, and he smiled.

After chatting with Xiao Xun'er for a while longer, Xiao Chen left her courtyard.

Watching Xiao Chen's departing figure disappear, Xiao Xun'er thought, It seems Brother Xiao Chen has quite a few secrets of his own.

Just then, a pitch-black figure emerged from a shadowy corner of the courtyard.

As soon as the dark figure appeared, he bowed respectfully to Xiao Xun'er. "Miss."

"Old Ling."

Xiao Xun'er looked at the dark figure, nodded lightly, and replied softly.

"Miss, do you need me to follow Young Master Xiao Chen?"

After a brief silence, the dark figure asked.

Xiao Chen's earlier actions, the pills he had produced, and the talent he had displayed all indicated that he was far from simple.

"No need. I trust Brother Xiao Chen."

At this, a captivating smile bloomed on Xiao Xun'er's breathtakingly beautiful face as she spoke softly.

As she spoke, Xiao Xun'er walked gracefully toward the room. The dark figure followed close behind her, and the two entered the room together. Soon, low voices drifted from within.

After leaving Xiao Xun'er's courtyard, Xiao Chen headed to the Mittel Auction House.

Inside one of the rooms at the Mittel Auction House.

"Little Brother Xiao Chen, did you refine these pills?"

Across from Xiao Chen sat Ya Fei, dressed in a red gown. Beneath the cheongsam were a pair of long, smooth jade-like legs clad in black silk stockings. At that moment, Ya Fei gazed at Xiao Chen with her seductive eyes as her crisp, sweetly alluring voice rang out.

Ya Fei had many questions in her heart, so she decided it would be better to ask Xiao Chen personally. After all, he was the only person in Wutan City whom she could not see through.

He possessed monstrous talent that allowed him to challenge opponents above his level. Looking at the four Qi Gathering Powders in her hand, what shocked Ya Fei most was the faint circle of emerald-green ripples around each pill, like spreading waves. Naturally, she knew those were Pill Markings.

What astonished Ya Fei was that if these four Qi Gathering Powders had truly been refined by Xiao Chen, then he was absolutely a monster.

Xiao Chen's dark eyes met Ya Fei's alluring, limpid gaze, while her soft, seductive voice echoed by his ear.

Ya Fei's sweetly seductive voice was like a tiny hand scratching at Xiao Chen's heart, making it itch. He caught the body fragrance wafting from her.

Whenever Xiao Chen spoke with this woman, a wicked flame seemed to rise in his heart without him realizing it.

"What does Sister Ya Fei think?"

Of course, Xiao Chen was no ordinary person. How could he be bewitched by Ya Fei and so easily reveal the truth?

Facing Ya Fei's question, Xiao Chen found that every word she spoke carried a unique charm. Combined with her seductive voice and her voluptuous, proud figure, it was difficult for any man to feel repulsed by her. His dark eyes met Ya Fei's enchanting gaze, and a mysterious smile appeared on his handsome face.

Ya Fei was not his woman yet, so naturally, he could not tell her too much.

However, Ya Fei had become the chief auctioneer of the Mittel Auction House, so she was naturally no simple woman. They said beauty brought disaster, and there were countless people in Wutan City coveting her beauty.

Yet to this day, no one had ever been heard of succeeding. Although the backing of the Mittel Auction House was undoubtedly part of the reason, no one dared to believe that this woman was merely a beautiful vase.

Hearing Xiao Chen's reply, Ya Fei could not help feeling somewhat disappointed. Could it be that her beauty was not enough to beguile the young man before her? Ya Fei had always been extremely confident in her figure.

Still, Ya Fei was shocked by Xiao Chen's talent. The Xiao Chen before her was likely superior to those young masters in Gama Holy City by an unknown margin.

Seeing Ya Fei, Xiao Chen could not help thinking of Xun'er. Xun'er possessed a cool, tranquil temperament, like a green lotus untouched by the mundane world. Her beauty was peerless, like that of a banished immortal.

Ya Fei, on the other hand, possessed the mature allure of a seductress. Her delicate voice was so enchanting it made one's bones go soft, while her full, exquisite curves were utterly captivating. She was simply a natural temptress.

However, Xiao Chen knew that although Ya Fei wore a smile every day and seemed easy to approach, she actually harbored a certain degree of aversion toward men. Many wealthy and powerful men had spent untold sums on her, yet none obtained what they desired.

Xiao Chen, who was familiar with the original work, knew that Ya Fei—the exceptionally charming and highly intelligent beauty before him—might not be strong herself, but she was shrewd and capable, far from a mere vase.

If he underestimated Ya Fei, he might very well fall into her trap without even realizing it.

As for Ya Fei, Xiao Chen naturally chose to win her over slowly.

After all, Ya Fei possessed only a beautiful appearance and lacked the strength to match it.

On this Dou Qi Continent where the strong devoured the weak, many things still came down to whose fist was harder.

"Big Sister Ya Fei, how much do you think these four Qi Gathering Powders can fetch at auction?"

Xiao Chen looked at the four Qi Gathering Powders resting in Ya Fei's fair jade-like hand and asked.

Xiao Chen had refined seven Qi Gathering Powders in total, five of which bore Pill Markings. He had given Xiao Yan and Xiao Xun'er one marked Qi Gathering Powder each, while keeping one for himself. He took out the remaining four to auction for some money, so he could repay Xun'er.

"Little Brother Xiao Chen, since we're already so familiar, how about fifty thousand Gold Coins for each Qi Gathering Powder without Pill Markings, and seventy thousand for each one with Pill Markings? What do you think? After all, your sister has to make a living too."

Ya Fei stepped closer, a fragrant breeze wafting over as her sultry, numbing voice rang out.
