My Partner, and You Dare Lay Hands on Her?

My partner, and you dare lay hands on her? "Clan Leader Jia Lie, don't!" Ya Fei cried out in alarm.

I'd long heard Jia Lie Sen had something wrong with his head, which was why Jia Liebi focused on raising Jia Lieao. Seeing him today, it really is true, Xun Er secretly mused.

Xiao Yan asked blankly, "Clan Leader Jia Lie, you only have two sons in total, right?"

"You little bastard, what do you mean by that?!" Jia Liebi flew into a rage, believing Xiao Yan had deliberately mentioned Jia Lieao to disgust him.

"I mean, you should have another one..."

"Father!"

Jia Lie Sen looked at his abdomen in terror. His belly swelled wildly like kneaded dough.

The next moment.

Splash!

When Jia Lie Sen's abdomen reached its limit, it suddenly deflated like a punctured ball.

Sixth Stage Dou Qi! Fifth Stage Dou Qi! Fourth Stage Dou Qi! "Sen'er!"

Jia Liebi rushed toward Jia Lie Sen in horror, looking at Ya Fei with a trembling voice. "Ya Fei! Why has my son become like this?!"

Ya Fei opened her mouth, then gave a helpless bitter smile. "Clan Leader Jia Lie, I already said this medicine liquid was extremely potent. It needed to be dripped into clean water for soaking. It absolutely must not be taken orally!"

Jia Liebi's breath caught. He shifted his gaze tremblingly and saw several clansmen nod with difficulty.

Ya Fei had indeed emphasized it, but Jia Liebi and Jia Lie Sen had been confronting the Xiao father and son at the time and had not heard a word.

"Father... my Dou Qi is only at the third stage now, and my meridians..." Jia Lie Sen rolled his eyes and fainted.

"Clan Leader Jia Lie, three-stage Dou Qi is the same as my son's was a few days ago! Just as your esteemed son said, if my son could do it, so could he!" Xiao Zhan mocked gleefully.

"Ah!"

Jia Liebi threw back his head and roared, glaring savagely at Xiao Zhan. "My son has been harmed by your son again! Xiao Zhan, don't think you're the only one who knows an alchemist. I'll use every bit of my power, and the Jia Lie Clan will never coexist with the Xiao Family!"

In Jia Liebi's mind, it had to be Xiao Yan again, setting a trap for Jia Lie Sen! Xiao Yan was speechless.

He had indeed wanted to trick Jia Liebi, but Jia Lie Sen had tricked himself.

What did that have to do with him?

"Let's go!"

Jia Liebi viciously withdrew his gaze, picked up the unconscious Jia Lie Sen, and left the Auction House with resentment.

As he stepped out of the Auction House's doors.

"Xiao Family brat, I'll make you wish you were dead!"

With killing intent blazing in his eyes, Jia Liebi took out a wooden token. The Willow Character Medicine Tag on it was particularly conspicuous.

"What a mess!"

Ya Fei rubbed her temples with a bitter smile and whispered to Xiao Yan, "Young Master Xiao, all the materials your master preordered have arrived. Please come with me."

Xiao Yan nodded. After informing Xiao Zhan and Xun Er, he followed Ya Fei toward the hall.

Inside the hall.

The moment Ya Fei entered, her beautiful face suddenly changed. She saw a familiar figure.

Lei Le!

Looking at Ya Fei, whom he had not seen for a long time, Lei Le greedily sized her up, his breathing becoming slightly hurried.

"Ya Fei, what happened with the death of Zuo Xiu Hua's grandson?" Gu Ni asked anxiously.

He's the grandson of a Dou Wang, after all. The news spread so quickly!? Ya Fei's expression darkened.

No wonder Lei Le had rushed here from headquarters. The Zuo Family must have flown into a fury and demanded an explanation from the Mite'er Family.

"Zuo Ya's death was entirely my doing. It has nothing to do with anyone else!" Ya Fei took a deep breath and declared firmly.

"Oh?"

Lei Le gave a strange laugh as he looked Xiao Yan over, a flash of jealousy crossing his eyes. "This kid killed Zuo Ya, didn't he? He looks completely ordinary, yet you're willing to shield him with your life? How rare! How rare!"

Lei Le said "how rare" twice. By the second time, he was practically gritting his teeth.

"Two Zuo Family Guest Elders, seize this boy and hand him over to the Zuo Family!" Lei Le shouted, abusing his authority for personal revenge.

"I already said it. Everything was my doing alone! I'll take full responsibility!"

Ya Fei, always seductive and gentle in speech, became uncharacteristically forceful.

She wrapped an arm around Xiao Yan's waist and shoved him out the door in a domineering manner.

"Two Da Dou Shi came with him. Hurry back to the Xiao Family!"

Bang!

Without waiting for Xiao Yan's response, Ya Fei slammed the door shut and looked at the others resolutely.

"I am Ya Fei, the Mite'er Family's chief auctioneer stationed in Wutan City. I'll return to the Imperial Capital with you!"

"Miss..." Gu Ni opened his mouth, then shook his head sadly.

He knew Ya Fei's temperament well. Soft on the outside but strong within, once she made up her mind, even ten oxen could not pull her back.

"Capture that boy and bring him back!" Lei Le snarled darkly, flames of jealousy rising in his eyes.

Though Ya Fei was usually all smiles and seemed easy to approach, he knew very well that this woman had an instinctive aversion toward men.

For this woman to actually touch Xiao Yan's body of her own accord was an extremely rare occurrence.

"Lei Le, does Clan Leader Teng Shan know that you brought people to Wutan City?!"

Ya Fei angrily blocked the two Da Dou Shi, confronting them forcefully.

The killing intent and jealousy in Lei Le's eyes grew even stronger. "Heh, so that's why you've always been so cold toward me. You actually like immature boys. What exquisite taste. But I wonder whether he can satisfy you?"

Ya Fei's beautiful face remained icy, as though she had not heard Lei Le's obscene words.

Yet her soft palm was clenched so tightly that her sharp nails drew blood.

Ya Fei's forbearance only made Lei Le more excited. He bared his teeth in a vicious grin. "Tch, that weakling abandoned you and ran away by himself... Ya Fei, your taste is getting worse and worse. If you're really that desperate for a man, there's no need to find something like that, is there?"

Slap!

A crisp slap rang out. Lei Le stared at the furious Ya Fei, his face filled with disbelief.

Whenever Ya Fei faced his filthy remarks, she had always endured them, because his grandfather was an Elder at Mite'er headquarters.

But now.

She had actually slapped him?

"Young Master Lei, Clan Leader Zuo's task for us was to bring back both Xiao Yan and Ya Fei. It was only because you repeatedly promised us that we agreed to bring back only Xiao Yan."

One of the Zuo Family's Da Dou Shi Guest Elders spoke mockingly. "It seems you are not beyond offending in Miss Ya Fei's eyes either. Does your earlier promise still count?"

Hearing the mockery in the Zuo Family Guest Elder's words, Lei Le's face twisted bit by bit.

"Ya Fei, I've given you far too much face! Do you really think my feelings for you run that deep?"

"Two Zuo Family Guest Elders, this slut is yours. Take her back to the Imperial Capital!"

Ya Fei's exquisitely delicate, fairy-like face instantly turned pale.

"Miss Ya Fei, we are merely following orders. Forgive us!"

Just as the Guest Elder's hand was about to seize Ya Fei's shoulder.

Boom!

The tightly shut door was blasted open by a powerful surge of Dou Qi!

"You dare lay hands on my partner? Little friends from the Imperial Capital, you have no manners at all."

Boom! An oceanic wave of Mental Strength crashed down.

Bang!

The two Da Dou Shi Guest Elders dropped to their knees, overwhelming horror flooding their faces!

To possess such Mental Strength...

At the very least, he was a Dou Wang!
