Xiao Chen withdrew his gaze from Gu Ni's departing figure. His pitch-black eyes met Ya Fei's alluring ones.
"Little Brother Xiao Chen, I truly never expected your alchemy skills to be so impressive."
At that moment, Ya Fei parted her sexy red lips and spoke softly.
After hearing Xiao Chen admit that he was a Third-Rank Alchemist, Ya Fei gradually recovered from her shock. Back when Xiao Chen had purchased medicinal ingredients and a medicine cauldron from the Mittel Auction House, she had already suspected that he might either be an alchemist himself or have a high-ranking alchemist behind him.
"Still, Sister has become stronger than before too."
Ya Fei then continued.
Upon hearing Ya Fei's words, Xiao Chen knew what she meant by becoming stronger than before.
The soul power within Xiao Chen emerged from between his brows, then swept across Ya Fei's delicate body. When it passed over her, Xiao Chen discovered that her strength had actually reached that of a Three-Star Dou Zhe.
Ya Fei's advancement to a Three-Star Dou Zhe left Xiao Chen somewhat startled. However, when he thought of the Phoenix Essence Blood he had given her, he quickly understood why she had broken through to the Dou Zhe realm so swiftly.
"Sister Ya Fei, did you consume that drop of Phoenix Essence Blood?"
Although Xiao Chen had already guessed the answer, he still intended to confirm it with Ya Fei personally.
"Little Brother Xiao Chen, it seems you've already noticed. Sister has now broken through to the Dou Zhe realm, and after consuming that drop of Phoenix Essence Blood, I actually advanced all the way to a Three-Star Dou Zhe. The reason Sister can cultivate so quickly now is all thanks to you, Little Brother Xiao Chen."
Hearing Xiao Chen's question, Ya Fei explained the matter to him. Xiao Chen could sense from her voice that Ya Fei now held a special kind of feeling toward him.
However, Xiao Chen knew that feeling was not affection or love, but gratitude—gratitude for giving her hope.
Xiao Chen also knew that Ya Fei's heart would not be won so easily. He was in no hurry to possess her now; he had plenty of time to slowly win Ya Fei over.
Moreover, Xiao Chen knew the plot and also understood Ya Fei's personality, preferences, and more. Naturally, his familiarity with the story gave him an advantage in winning her heart.
After hearing Ya Fei's final words, Xiao Chen looked at the smile on her alluring face with his dark eyes. Although her lovely face was blooming with happiness at that moment, Xiao Chen could imagine that she must have endured considerable pain when she absorbed the Phoenix Essence Blood and broke through to the Dou Zhe realm.
But if one wanted to obtain great power, how could one possibly avoid paying a price?
Besides, Xiao Chen had told Ya Fei that taking certain special pills while absorbing the Phoenix Essence Blood could lessen the pain. Naturally, he had given those pills to Ya Fei as well.
"Still, Sister was only able to successfully absorb that drop of Phoenix Essence Blood thanks to the method Little Brother Xiao Chen told me—not absorbing it all at once, but little by little."
Ya Fei continued telling Xiao Chen about the process of absorbing the Phoenix Essence Blood. After being transformed by the Marrow Cleansing Pill, her physique and cultivation talent had undergone an enormous change.
Ya Fei could feel that her current speed of absorbing Dou Qi from heaven and earth was many times faster than before. She knew that was the effect of the Marrow Cleansing Pill.
After Xiao Chen and Ya Fei talked in the room for two hours, Xiao Chen left the room under the watchful gaze of Ya Fei's alluring eyes.
After leaving the Mittel Auction House, Xiao Chen wandered through Wutan City's Market for another two hours before returning to the Xiao Family.
After returning to the Xiao Family, Xiao Chen first went to see Xun'er. He took out some foods she liked from his Cosmos Ring, foods he had bought in Wutan City's Market. Then he pinched Xun'er's lovely cheek before finally leaving under her gaze.
Xiao Chen then went to take a look at Xiao Yan's room. Just as he had expected, Xiao Yan was engaged in arduous cultivation.
Xiao Chen returned to his own courtyard. Only Meng Er was in his room; as for Xian Er, Xiao Chen did not intend to let her appear before others. At present, Xian Er was one of Xiao Chen's trump cards.
Xian Er currently possessed the strength of a Seven-Star Dou Huang. However, once she absorbed that bottle of Divine Fox Essence Blood, she should be able to break through to the Dou Zong realm. Her original six tails would then become seven.
"Meng Er, how is your cultivation of the Dragon Phoenix True Scripture I gave you?"
At that moment, Xiao Chen looked at Meng Er, who was dressed in a purple dress, with a mischievous smile on his face.
"Young Master Xiao Chen, I've been cultivating the Dragon Phoenix True Scripture you gave me fairly well, but some parts are simply too profound, and I still don't understand them."
Meng Er looked at Xiao Chen with her clear, watery eyes as she explained.
Hearing this, Xiao Chen nodded with a smile. He had not expected Meng Er, who had only just begun cultivating, to make much progress with the Dragon Phoenix True Scripture after all. It was a dual cultivation technique.
"Meng Er, let your young master teach you how to cultivate this Dragon Phoenix True Scripture."
With a mischievous smile on his face, Xiao Chen walked up to Meng Er. He then wrapped his fair, slender arm around her delicate body and smiled.
Seeing the mischievous grin on Xiao Chen's face, Meng Er's large watery eyes widened. Her delicate body trembled, and she gave a soft hum.
"Young Master Xiao Chen."
Feeling Xiao Chen's unrestrained hand, Meng Er's lovely face flushed bright red, burning with heat.
Seeing Meng Er's reddened face in his arms, Xiao Chen no longer had the mood to tease her. He directly scooped her up in a princess carry and walked toward the inner room.
When Xiao Chen reached the bed in the inner room, he set Meng Er down from his arms. His pitch-black eyes immediately looked at her with blazing heat.
The next day, morning light tore through the clouds and shone upon the earth. The morning breeze was gentle, and patches of white clouds drifted across the azure sky. Outside the window, the lush branches and leaves were thick and green, making for an exceptionally pleasant sight.
Inside, Xiao Chen held Meng Er's soft, delicate body in his arms on the bed. With such fragrant warmth in his embrace, his handsome face recalled the events of the previous night with Meng Er. Lowering his head to look at her, Xiao Chen stretched out his fair hand and gently stroked Meng Er's pale, tender cheek.
Xiao Chen knew that Meng Er had the personality of a gentle, obedient, and well-behaved woman, because he had already felt it the previous night.
Meng Er was merely Xiao Chen's maid, but Xiao Chen had also regarded her as his own woman.
Still immersed in the memories of last night, Meng Er seemed to notice Xiao Chen stroking her face. Her beautiful eyes fluttered slightly before suddenly opening, her lively gaze turning toward Xiao Chen. At that moment, a rosy flush covered her lovely face.
