Ya Fei's Past

Xiao Jin ignored Ya Fei's pitiful expression and looked coldly at Brother Liang.

"Let Sister Ya Fei go now, and I'll give you a quick death. Otherwise, I'll let you experience a fate worse than death."

"Mr. Xiao, don't scare me. What if you startle me and my hand twitches? Then Miss Ya Fei might be in trouble." At this point, Brother Liang could only see this through to the end. As a mercenary who had lived by the blade for years, he would not be easily intimidated by Xiao Jin, nor would he easily release Ya Fei. Right now, Ya Fei was his shield.

"You were given a chance, but you didn't cherish it." Xiao Jin shook his head as a flash of seven-colored light passed through his eyes.

"Ah, what's happening?" Brother Liang cried out miserably. He felt as though his heart were being scorched by flames, and his body staggered uncontrollably. Seizing the opportunity, Xiao Jin instantly appeared before him. Dou Qi covered his palm as he slashed down at Brother Liang's arm.

Brother Liang came to his senses at that moment and thrust his dagger forward. "If you won't let me live, then none of you can expect to get off well!" Brother Liang's eyes were filled with madness. Unfortunately, he was still a step too late. His dagger was only a fraction away from piercing Ya Fei's snow-white neck, yet that tiny distance became something he would never reach.

"Ah!" Brother Liang let out a miserable scream. Raising his arm, he discovered that everything below his wrist had vanished. Blood sprayed from the severed wrist, splattering Ya Fei's face.

At that moment, Xiao Jin kicked Brother Liang in the stomach, sending him flying. Brother Liang's scream abruptly stopped. He wanted to cry out again, but his stomach churned violently, leaving him unable to make a sound.

"Ah!" It was as though Ya Fei had only now come to her senses. Her hands frantically wiped at her face, but the more she wiped, the more blood she smeared around. Before long, her entire pretty face was covered in blood.

Seeing Ya Fei's adorable appearance, Xiao Jin could not help laughing.

"You still dare laugh? I'll bite you to death!" Ya Fei flew into a rage and pounced on Xiao Jin, biting down hard on his shoulder. Xiao Jin did not care in the slightest and let her bite him. With the strength of his body, how could Ya Fei possibly hurt him?

Watching the two flirt and bicker, Xiao Wang felt despair in his heart. Xiao Jin had been gripping him by the neck and holding him in the air the entire time. He was nearly dead already, yet he still had to watch this display of affection.

Only then did Xiao Jin turn his attention to Xiao Wang, whom he was holding. He pressed his palm against Xiao Wang's Dantian, released a burst of force, and directly shattered the Dou Crystal within him. Then he tossed Xiao Wang beside Brother Liang.

Looking at the two men who had already lost the ability to resist, Xiao Jin turned his gaze toward Ya Fei in his arms.

"Sister Ya Fei, have you hugged me enough?" Xiao Jin teased her.

Only then did Ya Fei release Xiao Jin. She had truly been frightened earlier. Brother Liang's dagger had been only a few millimeters from her neck. She could already feel the chill radiating from it. One light thrust forward, and she would have died.

Although she knew Xiao Jin was a Dou Wang and Brother Liang should not have been able to hurt her, she still could not help being afraid. Though it looked as if she had kept biting Xiao Jin, she had only bitten him once. Afterward, she had simply held him, taking comfort in the sense of safety he gave her.

Seeing that Ya Fei had calmed down, Xiao Jin asked, "Sister Ya Fei, how should we deal with these two?"

Ya Fei looked at the two men, who were practically crippled already, and gritted her teeth. She stepped forward and stomped hard on Xiao Wang's fingers. His shrill scream echoed across the sky.

Xiao Wang's miserable cries drew over the Imperial soldier piloting the Thick-winged Bird.

"What is going on? Fighting is forbidden during flight. Are you trying to violate Imperial law?" The soldier was enraged and moved to stop Ya Fei.

With a flash, Xiao Jin appeared before the soldier. The pressure of his Dou Qi burst forth, pinning the soldier in place and leaving him unable to move.

"Soldier, you'd better watch from the side. Otherwise, you might get hurt by accident." Xiao Jin gave a calm warning, then ignored him and turned his gaze back to Ya Fei to see what she would do next.

Feeling Xiao Jin's pressure, the soldier stopped meddling in the matter and continued guiding the Thick-winged Bird toward the Imperial Capital. Matters involving a Dou Wang were not something a lowly Imperial soldier like him could interfere with. Xiao Wang and Brother Liang also felt Xiao Jin's pressure, and their faces turned ashen.

"Tell me, who ordered you to attack me?" With Ya Fei's intelligence, she quickly figured everything out. These two did not know Xiao Jin or Xiao Yi Xian, so they must have acted to attack her. Fortunately, Xiao Jin had accompanied her back to the Imperial Capital this time. Otherwise, she did not dare imagine the consequences.

"Miss Ya Fei, I'll talk. I only ask that you give me a quick death." Brother Liang sat up and revealed everything in full detail. Then he closed his eyes and waited for death.

"Leo, I've only just returned to the Imperial Capital, and you're already this impatient?" Ya Fei gritted her teeth.

"Sister Ya Fei, what grudge do you have with Elder Lei of the Mite'er Family that he would go so far as to send assassins after you?" Xiao Jin was somewhat puzzled.

"Do you remember when I said I offended an important figure in the Imperial Capital and was driven out of the family? That person was Leo—Elder Lei. He is an elder of the family and carries great prestige within it. But he has a worthless son who has always harbored designs on me. During one family gathering, that bastard got drunk and tried to force himself on me. While he wasn't paying attention, I kicked him right in the crotch and broke it. Although Leo healed him with pills, it left his son traumatized, and he has been impotent ever since. That is why Leo bore a grudge against me. Using his authority, he joined forces with several other family elders, twisted right and wrong, and expelled me from the family. Now that the patriarch has transferred me back to headquarters, he is probably afraid I will seek revenge in the future, so he wants to nip the threat in the bud. What a fine plan he has." Ya Fei's expression returned to normal, but her words brimmed with killing intent.

Xiao Jin stepped forward and took Ya Fei's delicate hand. "Sister Ya Fei, once we reach the Imperial Capital, I'll help you take revenge. I'll make that father and son regret it."

With her small hand held by Xiao Jin, Ya Fei seemed to find something to rely on. She leaned against him, feeling the safety he gave her.

"Mm. Thank you, little brother," Ya Fei thanked Xiao Jin softly.

Xiao Jin said nothing. Instead, he turned his gaze toward Brother Liang, whose face was now pale from excessive blood loss.

"Leave behind your Storage Ring, then jump down yourself. Save me the trouble of doing it." Xiao Jin looked at Brother Liang with indifferent eyes.

Brother Liang hesitated, then shakily rose to his feet. He slowly walked toward the head of the Thick-winged Bird before gritting his teeth and jumping off. Though they were ten thousand meters in the air, with his strength as a Dou Ling, he might not die if luck favored him and he landed in water. If he did not jump, he would certainly die.

Xiao Jin then turned toward the trembling Xiao Wang. His eyes were filled with killing intent as he slowly walked toward him. This Xiao Wang had actually set his sights on Ya Fei and Xiao Yi Xian. Naturally, Xiao Jin would not let him off easily.

Xiao Wang's eyes were full of terror. Just as he was about to beg for mercy, Xiao Jin dislocated his jaw, rendering him unable to make a sound. Then a cluster of Heavenly Flames appeared in Xiao Jin's hand. Controlling its temperature, he slowly moved it toward Xiao Wang's manhood.

Seeing this scene, Ya Fei directly returned to her room, leaving everything to Xiao Jin.

Xiao Wang's body suddenly convulsed all over. His eyes bulged wide, nearly popping from their sockets. Unable to scream, he could only tense his entire body and tremble violently.

Very soon, the Heavenly Flames began at Xiao Wang's crotch and slowly reduced him to ashes, leaving behind only a Storage Ring.

Xiao Jin placed the Storage Ring into the System Space and slowly let out a breath. Then he headed toward Xiao Yi Xian's room. He wanted to see what was going on. There had been such a huge commotion, yet Xiao Yi Xian had not come out.
