Ya Fei's Initiative

Although Mu She was ruthless, he knew perfectly well that Ya Fei had a complicated web of connections and an extensive network. She was also the chief auctioneer at the Mite'er Auction House. He absolutely couldn't afford to offend her.

But now, that idiot Ugart had actually captured Ya Fei. Mu She felt his head buzzing and his vision swimming. He had no idea how to deal with that fool.

Forget it. In for a penny, in for a pound. Since she's here, I might as well rape her first, then kill her! Mu She hardened his resolve, then turned to look at Ya Fei.

Ya Fei's pretty face was icy cold. Her phoenix eyes glared furiously at Mu She. There was not a trace of fear in her delicate features—only boundless rage.

This time, her capture by Ugart of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group had been a complete accident. Ya Fei had only left the Mite'er Auction House after an auction that day. She had intended to return to her residence, but Ugart had suddenly ambushed her.

In Ya Fei's eyes, Ugart's actions were a provocation against the entire Mittel Family!

"Woman, who gave you those looted goods to fence?" Mu She asked, narrowing his eyes as he glared viciously at Ya Fei.

"Get lost!" Ya Fei spat in response, her beautiful face full of fury. She was clearly at the end of her patience.

At her words, Mu She's face twisted with rage. He had always been hot-tempered, and Ya Fei's contempt for him had thoroughly enraged him.

A shadow passed through his eyes, and Mu She sneered. "Hmph! You refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit! Fine, I won't waste my breath. You're going to die either way, but before you do, I'll see what it's like to have a beauty like you!"

At Mu She's words, Ya Fei's body trembled, and her beautiful eyes filled with intense disgust.

She would rather bite her tongue and kill herself than let that scoundrel defile her!

Seeing Ya Fei's disgust and hatred, Mu She's jealousy and desire swelled beyond control. He immediately forced a pill into her mouth, then eagerly prepared to lunge at her and tear off her clothes!

Pfft!

But just as he was about to throw himself at her, Mu She suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head. His mind rang, and then he lost consciousness completely.

Thud!

Mu She collapsed to the ground, eyes wide open. Blood streamed from his seven orifices, staining a large patch of ground crimson!

The bizarre, sudden turn of events filled the other Wolf Head Mercenary Group members present with fear.

Mu She was the head of their mercenary group, yet someone had killed him silently, and they hadn't noticed anything at all.

They had no idea that Mu She had died from a soul attack!

"Ah..."

After a brief silence, the others finally grasped what had happened and cried out in shock!

"What happened? How did the commander suddenly die?!"

"Damn it, someone must've attacked him by surprise!"

"Everyone, be careful!"

The mercenaries shouted in alarm, warily scanning their surroundings and bracing for an enemy attack.

The commotion naturally caught Ya Fei's attention. She hadn't expected an expert to come to her aid in secret at such a critical moment.

Ya Fei furrowed her willow brows and looked around, trying to find the expert.

A moment later, she finally spotted a young man in black standing atop a large tree, a greatsword strapped to his back.

The youth wore a loose black shirt, a jade belt around his waist, and black-and-white cloth shoes. A mischievous smile played on his handsome face as he watched her with interest.

Ya Fei froze at the sight, and an inexplicable joy welled up inside her.

Because the man was Xiao Tian!

Just moments ago, while Xiao Tian had been testing the power of the Zi Wu Qi Xing Sword, he had spread out his soul perception and learned everything that was happening here.

Over the past three months, aside from checking in every day, practicing Dou Techniques, and going shopping with Xun'er, he had spent most of his time cultivating his soul power. It had now surged to the level of Mortal Realm Great Perfection, far beyond what it had been before!

So just now, Xiao Tian had sensed that Ya Fei was in danger and hurried straight over.

"Who are you?"

At that moment, several mercenaries also spotted Xiao Tian. They immediately watched him warily and demanded an answer.

"The dead don't need to know," Xiao Tian replied coolly, raising his right hand slightly.

Whoosh—!

In an instant, he unleashed the Profound-tier High-grade Dou Technique—Spiritual Rhinoceros Finger. A razor-sharp sword finger shot through the air and pierced one mercenary's throat, killing him with a single strike!

Hiss—

The remaining mercenaries' pupils shrank at the sight. They couldn't help drawing in sharp breaths, staring at Xiao Tian in shock and disbelief.

What incredible speed! What formidable strength!

Xiao Tian gave them no time to think. He blurred into motion, flicking out his sword fingers, each unleashing a streak of piercing sword light.

"Pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft!"

In the blink of an eye, the remaining mercenaries met the same fate as their companion. They died swiftly and cleanly, without even managing to cry out.

In a single exchange, all six or seven mercenaries were dead!

"Hehehe, Mr. Xiao Tian, you've saved my life~~" Now that she was safe, Ya Fei slowly walked toward Xiao Tian, her smile radiant and her beautiful face brimming with allure.

"Ahem, it was nothing. Miss Ya Fei really is beautiful. No wonder all the men in Wutan City are captivated by you—even these mercenaries," Xiao Tian said with a chuckle, standing awkwardly where he was.

At his words, Ya Fei gave him a coquettish look and said, "You're so mean!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Ya Fei suddenly furrowed her brows, sensing something was terribly wrong. Her body was moving toward Xiao Tian's embrace against her will, and her alluring face had turned crimson.

"Mm~ Damn bandit! He actually drugged me with something like this!" Remembering the pill Mu She had forced on her, Ya Fei's face burned with shame and fury. She bit down on her enticing red lips, her voice soft and tender.

"Gulp."

Feeling the sudden warmth in his arms, Xiao Tian instinctively swallowed. His breathing grew uneven as he looked down at the enchanting beauty in his embrace, his Adam's apple bobbing.

"Miss Ya Fei, this, this isn't appropriate..." Xiao Tian managed after his mouth twitched.

"Mr. Xiao Tian, you wouldn't mind saving me one more time, would you?" Ya Fei gazed at him with unfocused eyes, her expression alluring. Her soft, boneless hand had already begun to climb over his firm chest.

The drug was extremely potent, and Ya Fei couldn't resist it. Her whole body was burning, and she just wanted to release the flames within her.
