Cooperation

Xiao Chen fell silent for a moment after hearing this, then said, "Then what should we do? Otherwise, I'll have no choice but to marry Sister Ya Fei."

"You wish."

Ya Fei pursed her rosy lips and said coquettishly.

Naturally, Ya Fei knew that the Xiao Chen before her could not remain confined to Wutan City forever. Moreover, judging by the talent Xiao Chen had displayed, he would certainly become a powerful expert in the future—and powerful experts naturally would not lack women by their sides.

"Then what does Sister Ya Fei want?"

After hearing Ya Fei's words, Xiao Chen fell silent briefly before speaking.

"Since you stole Sister's first kiss, agree to one condition of mine."

After pondering for a moment, Ya Fei said.

The current Xiao Chen might not be able to help her with anything, but once he grew stronger in the future, that would be another matter.

"As long as Sister Ya Fei asks in the future, whether I have to climb mountains of blades or cross seas of fire, I'll do my best to accomplish it. I'll never break my word."

Xiao Chen hurriedly declared his sincerity.

"Sister Ya Fei, what about the cooperation?"

Xiao Chen hurriedly changed the subject.

"How does Little Brother Xiao Chen wish to cooperate?"

A flicker of confusion passed through Ya Fei's limpid eyes as she asked softly.

As Ya Fei spoke, she walked toward a tea table.

With each graceful step, her willow-slender waist swayed in a captivating curve. The slit in her cheongsam extended all the way up her thigh, and as she walked, her long, fair legs wrapped in black silk dazzled the eye. Fleeting glimpses of spring stirred the heart.

Xiao Chen took it all in, admiring the striking sight before him, though his throat bobbed involuntarily.

Just then—

"Does it look good?"

As if noticing Xiao Chen's gaze, Ya Fei suddenly stopped. Turning around, she looked at him with her seductive eyes, a charming smile blooming on her pretty face as she spoke in a sweet voice.

Xiao Chen could only smile.

Then, Xiao Chen walked over to the tea table as well. A moment later, he sat down at the table, which was laden with all kinds of fruit. Two cups of fragrant tea sat upon it, while Ya Fei was seated across from him.

"Before long, I hope the Mittel Auction House will cooperate only with the Xiao family and no longer supply medicinal ingredients to the other two great families."

Xiao Chen went straight to the point after sitting down.

Knowing the plot well, Xiao Chen naturally knew that the other two great families of Wutan City would make a move against the Xiao family. What he wanted was to strike first.

Ya Fei's expression changed slightly at his words. Cooperate only with the Xiao family? There were three great families in Wutan City. If she agreed to Xiao Chen's request, that would mean cutting ties with the other two families...

"Little Brother Xiao Chen, the Mittel Auction House has rules forbidding us from taking part in conflicts between families. If we agree to this request, it would violate our rules... You're putting Sister in a difficult position."

Ya Fei's delicate brows furrowed slightly. She had not been in Wutan City for just a day or two, so she naturally understood the struggle among its three great families.

Xiao Chen naturally understood what Ya Fei was thinking. He was merely making preparations in advance. If the plot continued to develop this way, then perhaps before long, Wutan City would undergo a change because of his appearance.

"Besides, Little Brother Xiao Chen, how can you guarantee that you'll defeat the other two great families? If—"

An unusual light flickered in Ya Fei's beautiful eyes. After pondering for a long while, she spoke.

Although Ya Fei did not finish her sentence, Xiao Chen knew that if the Xiao family failed to defeat the other two great families, it would instead be destroyed by them.

"Sister Ya Fei, come with me somewhere, and you'll know whether I can defeat the other two great families."

As he spoke, Xiao Chen walked to Ya Fei's side and pulled her to her feet.

Xiao Chen lightly swept his palm through the empty air. Space Power flowed over his hand, and in an instant, a pitch-black Space Vortex Door appeared within the void.

"Let's go."

Xiao Chen looked at Ya Fei with his dark eyes. At that moment, Ya Fei's beautiful eyes were opened wide, filled with shock.

Then Xiao Chen wrapped an arm around Ya Fei's slender waist and stepped into the pitch-black Space Vortex Door.

As Xiao Chen and Ya Fei entered the door, a surge of Space Power enveloped them both, and then the two vanished.

Inside the room, the space where they had disappeared slowly returned to normal.

Xiao family, back mountain.

Inside a certain stone cave.

The space within the cave began to twist, eventually forming a pitch-black Space Vortex Door.

Two figures emerged from the pitch-black Space Vortex Door. They were Xiao Chen and Ya Fei.

"Where is this?"

Xiao Chen still had his arm around Ya Fei. After recovering from a brief spell of dizziness, Ya Fei looked around with her beautiful eyes and asked in confusion.

"This is a stone cave on the Xiao Family Back Mountain. It was where I used to cultivate."

Xiao Chen looked at Ya Fei with his dark eyes and explained.

This stone cave was something Xiao Chen had stumbled upon by chance while cultivating in the Xiao Family Back Mountain.

Opposite the cave lay a steep mountain range shrouded in mist—the famed Magical Beast Mountain Range of the Jia Ma Empire.

"The Xiao Family Back Mountain? How did we end up here? Could it be because of that black door just now?"

Ya Fei was startled. She clearly remembered that she and Xiao Chen had still been in a room at the Mittel Auction House. Yet after Xiao Chen had led her through that black door, her head had spun, and when she opened her eyes, she was already here.

"Little Brother Xiao Chen, how did you do that?"

Having pieced it all together, Ya Fei looked at Xiao Chen with shock in her eyes and asked.

"A secret. Sister Ya Fei, can we talk about our cooperation now?"

Xiao Chen looked at Ya Fei with his dark eyes and smiled.

Xiao Chen thought that this little display of spatial teleportation would surely shock Ya Fei. As it turned out, he was right.

After hearing Xiao Chen's answer, Ya Fei grew even more curious about his identity—his ability to challenge opponents above his level, his status as a Tier 3 Alchemist, and now this scene before her.

"Alright, Little Brother Xiao Chen, I agree. But when should we stop supplying medicinal ingredients to the other two great clans?"

After quickly weighing the pros and cons, Ya Fei drew in a breath of the cool air and asked Xiao Chen in a seductive voice.

"That... wait for my instructions."

Xiao Chen was delighted and replied with a smile.

"Then I'll agree to all your conditions, Little Brother Xiao Chen. But could you teach me how you accomplished what we just saw?"

Ya Fei gazed at Xiao Chen with her seductive, blazing eyes and pleaded.

Xiao Chen was speechless. Tearing through space for teleportation was an ability possessed by Dou Venerable experts.

Xiao Chen could do it only because he had obtained Time-Space Power from the system. Not only could he control Space Power, but he could also control Time Power.
