Turning Black and White on Its Head

Gu Fang stood in the alchemy room. With a flick of his hand, his Storage Ring flashed.

Then...

A pill formula scroll appeared in Gu Fang's palm—the formula for the Three-Pattern Green Spirit Pill!

The Three-Pattern Green Spirit Pill was a Fourth-grade Pill. With Gu Fang's current alchemy abilities, refining it would be more than manageable!

About fifteen minutes later, Gu Fang took out the Heart of the Earth from his Storage Ring and placed it in the center of the alchemy room.

"The highest-grade Three-Pattern Green Spirit Pill requires three types of flame!"

As he spoke, the dark-golden flame in Gu Fang's hand split apart, revealing the Nihility Devouring Flame and the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame. "That makes two types. Adding the earth fire in this alchemy room makes three in total—more than enough!

Once the Three-Pattern Green Spirit Pill is refined, I'll leave the capital of the Jia Ma Empire and head to Wutan City.

The time spent on the road will be enough for me to reach Peak Battle Master. Then, with this Three-Pattern Green Spirit Pill, breaking through to Da Dou Shi will be entirely possible!"

With that, Gu Fang's Storage Ring flashed. The Heart of the Earth leaped out, and Gu Fang began tossing medicinal herbs into the Alchemy Cauldron one after another.

Alchemy...

Began!

"Grandfather, are we really just going to swallow this humiliation today?"

Lei La gritted his teeth as he clutched his broken arm, his voice filled with hatred. "That brat openly attacked us like that, and Ya Fei...

I absolutely cannot let this go!"

"Shut your mouth! If it weren't for you, this never would have happened today!"

Lei Ou roared, his face flushed red. "Don't leave the house for the next few days. Wait until that brat leaves.

Heh.

We can't afford to provoke that brat, but can't we deal with Ya Fei?"

"Grandfather, you mean...?"

"Once that brat leaves, take some men to Wutan City and have a good 'discussion' with Ya Fei.

I'll give you that authority. I'll handle the Great Elder!"

After saying that, Lei Ou chuckled. "Once Ya Fei becomes yours, even the Great Elder won't be able to say anything."

"Thank you, Grandfather!"

Lei La's eyes brimmed with lewdness, as though he could already see Ya Fei beneath him, struggling desperately yet powerless to resist!

He never expected that the matter he had begged his grandfather about for so long would receive approval today.

A loss may yet prove to be a blessing!

Just as Lei La was thinking this, footsteps accompanied by muffled sobbing suddenly sounded. The next moment...

The door opened!

Two bare-chested burly men dragged in a woman dressed in the uniform of a Mittel Auction House maid. The instant they entered, they flung the woman into the middle of the room!

"That's her. The little girl was pretty cautious. If there hadn't been so many people downstairs, we would've had quite a bit of trouble finding her tonight!"

One of the bare-chested men shook his wrist as he spoke with disdain.

"As long as you brought her, that's enough. Get out. Don't spread word of what happened today!"

Lei Ou glanced at the woman curled into a ball. A crystal card appeared between his fingers, and he tossed it to the burly man. "Go. Keep today's matter confidential, or you know the consequences!"

The burly man caught the crystal card. An overly fawning smile flashed across his rough face. "Elder Lei Ou, don't worry. You can trust us to handle things. We'll be leaving now!"

With that, the two left the room, closing the door behind them.

After the two had gone far enough away, Lei Ou bent down and fixed his gaze on the sobbing woman on the floor. She wore the standard uniform of the Mittel Auction House.

Her once-neat clothes were now in disarray, while the hair that had originally been tied back with a ribbon was loose and tangled, stained with leaves and dirt. She looked utterly bedraggled.

"Grandfather, this is..."

Lei La looked at the woman on the floor. A flash of amazement passed through his eyes as he licked his lips and looked the sobbing woman over from head to toe.

Clearly...

The woman's already outstanding appearance, coupled with her current disheveled state, had completely ignited the lust in Lei La's heart!

Combined with everything that had happened today, Lei La now desperately wanted to vent his lust upon the woman before him!

"She's Zhan Xue, the maid who first received that little bastard. Perhaps we can learn something from her!" Lei Ou bent down and brushed away the hair stuck to the woman's face, revealing her identity.

That was right. The woman lying on the floor now...

Was the reception maid who had initially led Gu Fang to the Mystic-rank area.

Lei Ou carelessly tore away the cloth gagging the maid's mouth. "Speak. Where exactly did that brat come from? Tell us everything you know."

"I don't know anything! Elder Lei Ou, what exactly do you want?" The maid's voice was now thick with tears and terror.

"Are you sure? If you know something and refuse to tell us, you know what will happen to you!"

At this moment, Lei La darted in front of Lei Ou, sweeping his gaze over her as he began to speak. "She's nothing more than a counter attendant. Without you, the Mite'er Family can recruit hundreds more at any time!

And...

I can't guarantee whether you'll be able to leave here alive."

"What do you want?"

Seeing the lewd look in Lei La's eyes, Zhan Xue naturally recalled some of the things she had heard before. The last trace of color drained from her face!

She desperately wanted to resist, but leaving aside her bound hands and feet, how could her strength—not even seven stages of Dou Qi—possibly break free from Lei La, who was already a Dou Zhe?

"I don't want to do anything. I just want to vent the emotions I've been holding in all day. That's all!"

Lei La grinned lewdly and produced a finger-length dagger from somewhere.

Under the lamplight, its blade glinted in a curved flash as it slowly approached Zhan Xue's already pale cheek. The blade pressed against her face.

A thread of chill seeped into Zhan Xue's skin. At this moment...

Zhan Xue was so terrified that she could not utter a single word. Her body trembled, yet she did not dare make the slightest movement. If anyone could see Zhan Xue's eyes at this moment...

They would discover that there was nothing left in them but fear—overwhelming fear!

Yet Zhan Xue's fear only made Lei La more excited. The blade slid downward, gliding smoothly along Zhan Xue's slender neck before finally stopping at her chest.

Right at the upper edge of the Mite'er Family's standard uniform, the curved blade twisted and flicked upward.

Riiip...

With a crisp sound, the blade easily tore a large opening in her uniform.

A large expanse of pale skin was exposed. Seeing this, Lei Ou silently turned around and walked out the door.

"Don't forget the real business!"

But Lei La did not respond. His eyes were fixed on the two surging mounds wrapped in long strips of cloth. Terror made them tremble even more violently.

They swayed before Lei La's eyes.

Zhan Xue shook her head, tears of terror spilling from her eyes. "Let me go. I really don't know anything! And if you—if you kill me...

That young master won't let you off either. He'll avenge me!"

Zhan Xue's plea only made Lei La more smug, but her latter words made his expression freeze as everything that had happened during the day flashed before his eyes once more.

The lust vanished from his eyes, replaced by rage—boundless rage!

He flung the dagger aside, then grabbed Zhan Xue's neck with all the strength of his uninjured right hand. Zhan Xue tried to struggle free, but Lei La had already pressed himself on top of her.

"You little bitch, say that again?"

Lei La gritted his teeth. "Do you know why you have to go through all this?

I'll tell you: that brat is the one who brought all this on you.

If that brat hadn't come today, if he hadn't gone looking for you, you never would have been captured by me, so...

Your enemy was never me. It was him!

And you're still expecting that guy to come save you? For all you know, he's rolling around with that bitch Ya Fei right now!"

Amid Lei La's hysterical roar, Zhan Xue's pale face turned crimson from lack of air. Her bound hands and feet flailed wildly.

Until, at a certain moment, Lei La finally released his grip.

Zhan Xue seized the chance to gulp in air, but before she could finish that breath, she saw...

Lei La raise that dagger and viciously stab it toward her forehead!
