He Really Deserved to Die!
It was not just Jin Shankao and Ye Suifeng.
Some Players on the street had already recognized Ya Fei:
"WTF, WTF! Isn't that gorgeous woman in red Mitier Ya Fei, the one exposed on the forums?"
"Really? Really? Damn, those legs are seriously long!"
"Yesterday, I used Ya Fei's screenshot from the forum to, you know... I know that outline on her chest too well. That's definitely Ya Fei!"
"Wasn't Ya Fei in Wutan City? She even hosted an auction a few days ago. Why was she in Cloud Frost City?"
"Who's that guy? How could he make Ya Fei personally come out to deliver something?"
"He had to be an NPC! Could he be some young master from the Nalan Family?"
"Get out of here. The Nalan Family only has Nalan Yanran. Maybe he's from the Mu Family."
Jin Shankao suddenly realized, "No wonder she looked familiar!"
A few days ago, some Players in Wutan City had slipped into the auction house, taken photos of Ya Fei, and posted them online.
Jin Shankao was, after all, an uncle in his thirties. He truly had no resistance at all to a seductive, mature beauty like Ya Fei.
He had even considered developing in Wutan City, just to see whether he could win Ya Fei over.
Yet only a few days later, he saw Ya Fei happily chasing after Yang Shan to give him something.
They were both Players, so why did Yang Shan get Ya Fei's favor? And from the look of it, she was even pursuing him?
Jin Shankao, an old man nearly forty, ground his teeth in jealousy.
Beside him, Ye Suifeng was already preparing to draw his sword. "He really deserves to die!"
Jin Shankao said, "Little Ye, we can't just stand by and watch Ya Fei walk into the tiger's den, right?"
Ye Suifeng grew excited. "Right, absolutely right! Boss, let's go, we—"
"Yang Shan! We meet again!"
Before Ye Suifeng could finish, a graceful figure approached from not far away.
Ye Suifeng said, "Damn, why is Nalan Yanran here too?"
Although Nalan Yanran's figure could not compare to Ya Fei's fully matured body, she was only sixteen! Her features were much more delicate.
In a few years, she would fill out. Once she did, she would definitely be even prettier!
Besides, what was wrong with sixteen? Of course, sixteen was not okay! The system would intervene.
But time passed quickly in the game!
Five months in real time later, Nalan Yanran would be an adult!
Nalan Yanran was youthful yet heroic.
Ya Fei, meanwhile, was a seductive mature beauty.
The two women had completely different styles.
Yet right now, it seemed that Yang Shan was the only one in either of their eyes.
Yang Shan was equally baffled. "Why hasn't Nalan Yanran returned to the Misty Cloud Sect yet?"
Naturally, Nalan Yanran also noticed Ya Fei beside Yang Shan.
"Miss Ya Fei, I never expected you to come all the way to Cloud Frost City."
Ya Fei smiled.
"I cannot compare to the eldest miss of the Nalan Family. I have no particular talent, so I can only help my family manage its businesses."
Nalan Yanran and Ya Fei were not especially close friends.
But one was the eldest miss of the Nalan Family, while the other was the eldest miss of the Mitier Family.
Both had lived in Gama Holy City for a long time.
It was perfectly normal for their paths to have crossed.
Still, neither of them had expected the other to have any connection with Yang Shan!
Ya Fei spoke first. "Miss Nalan, what business do you have with Young Master Yang?"
Nalan Yanran replied, "That need not concern Miss Ya Fei. Yang Shan, how about we go somewhere else and have a proper talk?"
Yang Shan's expression remained calm.
"Say what you have to say. I'm busy."
"Damn!"
It was not that Ye Suifeng was being crude.
At this stage of the game, all Players had only just begun. What an enormous thigh was Nalan Yanran?
He had already suggested changing locations to talk in private, yet Yang Shan turned around and said, "I'm busy."
Wasn't that just showing off? Even three sacks wouldn't be enough to hold all that swagger!
Nalan Yanran hadn't expected Yang Shan to refuse so bluntly.
But Nalan Yanran certainly wasn't going to be dismissed that easily.
After all, she had come with an important mission, so she continued:
"If it was just some minor misunderstanding before, I'm sure you wouldn't take it to heart."
Yang Shan said, "Don't make it sound so natural. You'd better explain first—how did you know my name?"
Nalan Yanran smiled. "The Pang Family and my Nalan Family have some ties."
Yang Shan said, "So you had the Pang Family investigate me?"
Nalan Yanran said, "I only wanted to find out what was going on with the Body Tempering Pills and Gathering Yuan Pills that had recently appeared in Cloud Frost City. I didn't expect the investigation to lead to you!"
What Nalan Yanran said was half true and half false.
More precisely, she had gotten the order wrong.
Nalan Yanran had first discovered Yang Shan's name. Then, the Pang Family's alchemist analyzed the Gathering Yuan Pills they had secretly purchased and determined that the alchemical flame used had been a beast flame.
Following the trail, it was easy to deduce that Yang Shan had used the second-tier beast flame, Fire Cloud Leopard Flame, to refine those Gathering Yuan Pills!
The Pang Family Head had personally come to Nalan Yanran and explained the situation.
If it had only been a single Body Tempering Pill, it wouldn't have mattered.
What they feared was Yang Shan being able to keep refining Body Tempering Pills!
At present, the Pang Family and Chai Family stood evenly matched in Cloud Frost City, while the Mittel Yunshuang Branch could barely keep itself afloat.
But if the Body Tempering Pills and Gathering Yuan Pills became the Yunshuang Branch's signature products, that would be troublesome! After learning that Yang Shan was behind it all, Nalan Yanran had taken the initiative to say that she would handle the matter.
From Nalan Yanran's perspective, this matter was even less simple!
Yang Shan's cultivation was lower than hers, yet he had broken the Clear Wind Piercing Sword with a single slash.
And now, he had been confirmed to be a Second Grade Alchemist!
He had pursued both paths, yet still achieved considerable accomplishments in each.
And now, he was even accompanied by the Mite'er Family's eldest daughter!
Nalan Yanran knew Ya Fei's temperament very well.
Ya Fei was instinctively resistant to men.
Unless that man truly possessed immense value.
Nalan Yanran had not contributed much to the Nalan Family during her years at the Misty Cloud Sect.
"If I bring Yang Shan into the Nalan Family, Grandfather will definitely be happy!"
It was precisely with that thought in mind that Nalan Yanran had come personally.
However, Yang Shan, that old fox, had already guessed her intentions almost perfectly!
In the end, it all came down to the Body Tempering Pills!
"Yang Shan, I mean no harm. I only want to ask whether the Body Tempering Pills came from your hand."
Ya Fei, standing nearby, raised an eyebrow.
Well, well! Trying to steal someone right in front of the Mitier Auction House?
Before Yang Shan could speak, Ya Fei answered:
"Miss Nalan, the Body Tempering Pills were sold through our Yunshuang Branch. If you have questions, you should be asking me."
Nalan Yanran gave a disdainful smile. "What, Miss Ya Fei? Are you declaring ownership?"
Ya Fei refused to yield in the slightest:
"Although Miss Nalan has extraordinary cultivation talent, when it comes to business, you should spend a few more years learning. This time, you were too late!"
"Young Master Yang is already mine!"
As she spoke, Ya Fei very naturally wrapped her arm around Yang Shan's.
Thirteen points of favorability were nowhere near enough for Ya Fei to act like this.
But since her opponent was Nalan Yanran, things were different.
The instant Ya Fei linked arms with Yang Shan, Jin Shankao drew his blade! Compared to Nalan Yanran, Ya Fei was obviously far more attractive to this old man.
"Let me chop him to death! Let me chop him to death!"
Ye Suifeng desperately held Jin Shankao back.
"Boss, calm down! Calm down! You can't draw a blade in the city!"
Xiao Mei and Nalan Yanran had previously been revealed on the forums.
Both NPCs were indeed stunning beauties, but when Ya Fei appeared, Jin Shankao's old heart began pounding wildly.
Jin Shankao had even secretly decided to find a way to raise Ya Fei's favorability to seventy, then sit back and wait for the Guan Zhong and Bao Shuya's Friendship System to be implemented.
Yet he never could have imagined that the first time he saw Ya Fei, she would be linking arms with another man! Jin Shankao nearly crushed his teeth from gritting them so hard.
"Damn it, he really deserves to die!"
