Xiao Xun'er's Kindness

"What God of Slaughter? I wouldn't dare accept such a title."

Ye Tian had only been forced to eliminate his enemies, yet these Onlookers had given him the nickname God of Slaughter. They really loved gossip.

"And not just you. Earlier, I heard people on the streets calling Miss Ya Fei and Miss Xiao Yi Xian Female Gods of Slaughter as well."

Xiao Yan said with a chuckle. After this incident, it would be hard for Ye Tian and the other two not to become famous.

"Female Gods of Slaughter? How come we didn't know?"

Ya Fei and Xiao Yi Xian exchanged smiles. Neither of the two women particularly liked the title Female God of Slaughter; it sounded far too bloody.

"By the way, the Vulture Mercenary Group's leader came to attack us earlier and even fought Master Gu Ni. We can't just let this slide."

"Since Clan Leader Xiao is here as well, why don't we join forces for something big—wipe out the Vulture Mercenary Group and divide their wealth? What do you all think?"

At that moment, Ye Tian recalled the Da Dou Shi named Rosen and directly put forward his suggestion.

"Then let's move!"

Xiao Zhan, Old Man Gu Ni, and Ya Fei all found it feasible. Though the Vulture Mercenary Group had considerable strength, it still could not compare to the Mittel Auction House and the Xiao Family.

"A gentleman takes revenge; ten years is not too late."

"Brother Ye, you never let a grudge go—and you settle it on the spot!"

Seeing Ye Tian's decisive and forthright nature, Xiao Yan felt especially invigorated.

"A gentleman taking revenge after ten years only applies when he's too weak. If you have enough strength, why wait ten years at all?"

This was a cultivation world where the strong preyed on the weak. Fighting and killing were perfectly normal. Ye Tian did not want those people constantly hiding in the shadows and causing trouble, or they would annoy him to death.

"Well said!"

After hearing Ye Tian's words, Xiao Yan thought of what had happened between himself and Na Lan Yan Ran. If he had possessed Ye Tian's strength back then, that woman would never have dared humiliate him by breaking off the engagement. Helplessly, he could only make a Three-Year Agreement with her to reclaim his dignity.

"Then we'll head back first and gather our people. We'll act together."

Afterward, Xiao Zhan and his son bid farewell to Ye Tian and the others, returning to the Xiao Family to assemble their forces. After all, the Vulture Mercenary Group had dozens of members and was no small force.

"Brother Xiao Yan, what are you doing?"

When Xiao Xun'er saw Xiao Zhan gathering the clan's experts, she was quite curious.

"The Vulture Mercenary Group's leader attacked Brother Ye's residence earlier. Now he wants to destroy that mercenary group, so we have to go lend our support."

Xiao Yan hurriedly explained. He was also greatly looking forward to this operation.

However, when he said "lend our support," Xiao Yan could not help recalling a line from a television drama: No matter who is attacking Ping'an County, my 358th Regiment will definitely lend our support.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yan was filled with emotion. He had transmigrated into this world more than ten years ago and had no idea what his original world was like now.

"Then I'm going too."

Seeing this, Xiao Xun'er immediately followed along to join the excitement.

"Alright!"

Xiao Yan had once heard his Teacher mention that Xiao Xun'er had a mysterious expert protecting her from the shadows, so he was not worried about her safety.

Very soon, the high-level combat forces of the Mittel Auction House and the Xiao Family had assembled and marched directly toward the Vulture Mercenary Group's headquarters.

"Why are you doing this?"

When Rosen, the Vulture Mercenary Group's leader, saw Old Man Gu Ni and Xiao Zhan leading a large force to attack his faction, he was terrified out of his wits.

"Rosen, you know perfectly well what you've done. Today, we're taking your life."

"Rosen, when you sent people to assassinate Xiao Tian, you should have expected this day to come. This is karma."

At that moment, Ye Tian, Ya Fei, and Xiao Yi Xian flew into the air and stared coldly at Rosen.

"Flying Dou Techniques are really nice!"

Watching the three of them hover in the air, Xiao Yan and the others were intensely envious.

Xiao Xun'er, on the other hand, remained perfectly calm. Her family was not lacking in Flying Dou Techniques, and the cultivation methods and Dou Techniques she practiced also granted a certain degree of flight ability.

"Ye Tian, are you really going to wipe us all out?"

Rosen regretted everything at that moment. Why had he gone for a sneak attack in the first place?!

"If no one offends me, I offend no one. But if anyone offends me, I eradicate them root and branch."

Ye Tian looked coldly at Rosen. This Old Fellow had already come all the way to his residence to kill him. How could he possibly let him go?

"All members, heed my command! Kill..."

Seeing that Ye Tian had no intention of sparing him, Rosen could only risk everything and ordered his subordinates to charge at the enemy.

"Kill... Bang! Bang!"

The battle erupted in an instant. Before long, the entire Vulture Mercenary Group headquarters had descended into complete chaos.

"Sister Ya Fei, Xiao Yi Xian, go help them. Don't let Xiao Xun'er get hurt."

"Zzt, zzt..."

Seeing Xiao Yan and Xiao Xun'er join the battle as well, Ye Tian found it quite amusing. He immediately unleashed Eternal Heavenly Thunder, letting those mercenaries savor the exhilarating pain of lightning.

"Ahhh... Awooow..."

For a moment, many mercenaries began dancing the Ghost Step, letting out screams like slaughtered pigs. The scene was truly spectacular.

"Whoosh, whoosh..."

Seeing this, Ya Fei and Xiao Yi Xian immediately charged in, harvesting the mercenaries' lives.

"Ye Tian's move is so powerful!"

"It is. Xun'er, be careful."

"Brother Xiao Yan, don't worry! I'm not weak either."

Watching Ye Tian's dazzling lightning Dou Technique, Xiao Xun'er and Xiao Yan were deeply impressed. They then brandished their sabers and charged at the mercenaries.

With Ye Tian, that Cheater, holding down the field, the battle became utterly one-sided. In no time, everyone had beaten the members of the Vulture Mercenary Group into complete disarray.

"Rosen, give me your life."

Meanwhile, Xiao Zhan and Master Gu Ni launched attacks on Rosen at the same time.

"Bang, bang, bang...!"

"Arghhh..."

Facing the combined assault of two Da Dou Shi, Rosen might have possessed the strength of a Dou Shi, but he simply could not withstand their attacks.

"Even if I die, I'll drag you down with me."

Seeing that he could not escape this disaster, Rosen gathered his Dou Qi and prepared to self-destruct.

"Crackle, crackle..."

"Trying to self-destruct in front of me? You're dreaming."

At that moment, Ye Tian flew above the battlefield and directly hurled a Lightning Wave at Rosen.

"Bang..."

"Arghhh..."

With a loud blast, Rosen, who had been about to self-destruct, immediately lost all momentum.

Azure Flame Slash

Mad Lion Rage

Immediately afterward, Master Gu Ni and Xiao Zhan's ultimate attacks struck Rosen as well.

"Bang..."

"Ah...! I'm unwilling..."

With another loud explosion, Rosen died on the spot.

With Rosen's death, the Vulture Mercenary Group became history. Ye Tian and Xiao Yan did not remain idle either, immediately looting the Vulture Mercenary Group's wealth and treasures.

"That battle was unbelievably satisfying."

It was Xiao Yan's first time participating in such a Life and Death Duel, and he found it incredibly thrilling.

"Brother Ye, these are the Water Spirit Lotus, Sky Fairy, and Seven-Colored Illusion Grass that I collected some time ago. Keep them."

"Also, I'd like to ask you about some cultivation matters and Flying Dou Techniques."

"Don't worry, I have no ulterior motives. I merely want to understand how Flying Dou Techniques are cultivated, so that if I obtain one in the future, I'll be mentally prepared."

Xiao Yan then called Ye Tian aside, handed over the three rare Spirit Herbs, and voiced his request.

"No problem. Let's go to my place!"

Ye Tian put away the Spirit Herbs, then called Ya Fei, Xiao Yi Xian, and Xiao Yan to return to the Miteer Auction House.

"Brother Xiao Yan, where are you going?"

At that moment, Xiao Xun'er saw Xiao Yan following Ye Tian again and immediately came over.

"I want to ask Brother Ye about cultivation matters and Flying Dou Techniques," Xiao Yan whispered to Xiao Xun'er.

"Then I'm coming too. Ye Tian, you don't mind, do you?"

Seeing this, Xiao Xun'er also wanted to go along and watch. Although she had not cultivated a Flying Dou Technique herself, she knew something about them.

"No problem. Let's go!" Ye Tian nodded with a smile.

"Thank you."

Seeing Ye Tian agree so readily, Xiao Xun'er quickly thanked him.

"No need to be so polite."

"However, Miss Xiao Xun'er, hearing you call him 'Brother Xiao Yan' gave me goosebumps all over my arms. Look, Xiao Yan has them too, and so do Sister Ya Fei and Xiao Yi Xian."

Ye Tian felt that Xiao Xun'er had been putting on an act all along. She clearly had the heart of a mature woman, yet whenever she was in front of Xiao Yan, she deliberately acted like a little girl. He could not help teasing her.

"Pfft..."

The moment he said that, Ya Fei and Xiao Yi Xian burst out laughing.

Even Xiao Yan could not hold it in, though he did not laugh out loud for fear of angering Xiao Xun'er.

"I like it. Is that not allowed?"

Xiao Xun'er was nearly stunned speechless as well. She then turned her head and quietly stared at Ye Tian, feeling both annoyed and amused.

"Miss Xun'er, please do not take Xiao Tian's words to heart."

Remembering Xiao Xun'er's powerful background, Ya Fei hurriedly tried to smooth things over for Ye Tian.

"Miss Ya Fei, please do not say that."

Xiao Xun'er smiled sweetly. Since Ye Tian was Brother Xiao Yan's friend, he was naturally her friend as well.

The group chatted and laughed as they traveled, soon returning to the Auction House.

"Sister Ya Fei, Xiao Yi Xian, go freshen up first. I'll take Xiao Yan and the others to the pavilion on the Back Mountain."

After giving the Two Women a brief instruction, Ye Tian led Xiao Yan and Xiao Xun'er toward the Back Mountain.

"Brother Ye, are you living with Miss Ya Fei and Miss Xiao Yi Xian now?"

After arriving at the Back Mountain, Xiao Yan looked down at an exquisite courtyard below. It seemed to be where Ye Tian and Ya Fei lived, so he asked curiously.

"Yeah! Is there a problem?"

Ye Tian nodded. Everyone in the Auction House already knew about it anyway.

"Wow! Brother Ye, your Romantic Luck is incredible. If those lecherous old men outside found out that you were living with Miss Ya Fei, they would probably be warped with jealousy."

Thinking of how a peerless woman as seductive as Ya Fei was so close to Ye Tian, Xiao Yan could not help feeling a little envious.

"Brother Xiao Yan, what are you thinking? How old is Ye Tian? Miss Ya Fei is only taking care of him."

Sensing the sour jealousy in Xiao Yan's words, Xiao Xun'er could not stand it any longer and immediately gave him a thorough scolding.

"Exactly, Xiao Yan. Your mind is impure."

"Miss Xun'er, hit him. Otherwise, he'll go astray sooner or later."

At that moment, Ye Tian added fuel to the fire from the side.

Smack! Smack!

"At such a young age, you're already learning bad habits, thinking nonsense all day long..."

Seeing this, Xiao Xun'er immediately reached out with her little hand and smacked Xiao Yan's back several times. As she hit him, she kept complaining, accidentally even revealing the matter of Xiao Yan sneaking a look at girls bathing.

"Wow! Miss Xiao Xun'er, he did that too? Then hit him some more and make him remember this lesson."

Ye Tian found it immensely amusing and promptly piled on.

"Brother Ye, don't listen to Xun'er. That was a misunderstanding."

"Xun'er, stop hitting me. I was wrong."

Xiao Yan was incomparably embarrassed and hurriedly tried to explain himself to Ye Tian.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

"Young Master Xiao, Miss Xun'er, are you two flirting?"

At that moment, Ya Fei and Xiao Yi Xian descended from the sky. When they saw Xiao Xun'er smacking Xiao Yan, they found it rather amusing.

The Two Women then entered the pavilion, laid out fruit and pastries, and poured hot tea for everyone.

"Miss Ya Fei, you jest. There were mosquitoes on my back, and Xun'er was helping me swat them."

Xiao Yan smiled awkwardly, hoping this woman had not heard what had been said earlier.

"Ye Tian, do you have any more Flying Dou Techniques? If you do, I can pay a high price to buy them from you."

Seeing that Ya Fei and Xiao Yi Xian had arrived, Xiao Xun'er directly brought up the Flying Dou Techniques with Ye Tian, deliberately changing the subject.

"No."

"I obtained these three Flying Dou Techniques by chance in the Monster Mountain Range before. I cultivated one myself, while I gave the other two to Sister Ya Fei and Xiao Yi Xian."

Ye Tian gave a simple explanation. If he had more Flying Dou Techniques, he could sell them to Xiao Xun'er. After all, this girl was a super-rich little lady who could afford a high price.

"Can you tell me more about Flying Dou Techniques? What conditions are needed to cultivate them?"

At that moment, Xiao Yan also asked Ye Tian about Flying Dou Techniques.

"There are no particularly harsh requirements for cultivating a Flying Dou Technique. The process is just a little painful, like someone cutting across your back with a knife..."

"However, some Flying Dou Techniques retain the Soul Consciousness of magical beasts. While cultivating them, you must keep your mind clear and never allow the Remnant Soul consciousness of the magical beast to take over your mind. Otherwise, you'll become a madman who is neither human nor ghost."

Seeing how curious Xiao Yan was, Ye Tian had no choice but to explain the process of cultivating Flying Dou Techniques.

"What he said should be right. Xiao Yan, remember it well. This is all valuable cultivation experience."

Just as Xiao Yan was listening with great interest, Old Man Yao Chen's voice rang out in his mind, confirming that Ye Tian's words were true.

"Brother Ye, thank you."

After receiving confirmation from his Teacher, Xiao Yan was overjoyed. He promptly clasped his fists toward Ye Tian in thanks. It was truly rare for someone to share such precious cultivation experience with him!

"It was nothing, not worth mentioning."

Ye Tian waved his hand dismissively. He had merely described things according to what was written in the book—what experience did he have?

Afterward, the group continued chatting. During this time, Xiao Yan asked Ye Tian about cultivating Dou Qi quickly, and Ye Tian could only tell him that there were no shortcuts on the path of cultivation, only diligent training.

Old Man Yao Chen also secretly warned Xiao Yan not to think about shortcuts. If he wanted to become strong, diligent cultivation was the only way.

"Brother Ye, we'll be going now."

After a long while, Xiao Yan left the auction house with Xiao Xun'er. Being able to obtain experience related to cultivating the Flying Dou Technique meant the trip had not been in vain.

"By the way, Ye Tian, what are you planning to do about the City Lord's Mansion making a move against you? Do you want to strike back?"

Before leaving, Xiao Yan asked Ye Tian about his next move.

Seeing that Xiao Yan wanted to cause trouble with Ye Tian again, Xiao Xun'er felt somewhat helpless. It seemed she would have to help these two troublemaking youths deal with some unnecessary problems.

"I don't have such plans for now. Let's see how the City Lord's Mansion responds first. If they still refuse to give up, I won't mind wiping them out."

"If I decide to act, I'll let you know. That City Lord's Mansion must be swimming in wealth."

Ye Tian still did not know the City Lord's Mansion's attitude, but he had already made preparations.

"Alright!"

"We'll be leaving first. If I receive any news, I'll come find you immediately."

Seeing Ye Tian's fearless demeanor, Xiao Yan found it incredibly exciting. The thought of robbing the City Lord's Mansion was thrilling just by itself.

At this moment, Xiao Xun'er had already made up her mind. She could not let these two youths continue stirring up trouble, so she decided to have her guards deal with the matter.

News of the Vulture Mercenary Group's destruction quickly spread throughout Wutan City.

"My heavens! They were wiped out so quickly?"

"I heard the Xiao Family and the Mittel Auction House acted together. Those two mercenary groups had no chance of holding out."

"I think this definitely has something to do with young friend Ye Tian. After all, those two mercenary groups must have taken part in the assassination attempt, which brought down the God of Slaughter's retaliation."

"Accomplishing such earth-shattering deeds at such a young age—young friend Ye Tian truly is a prodigy!"

For a time, countless onlookers discussed the destruction of the Vulture Mercenary Group, making it a popular topic after meals.

At the same time, the City Lord's Mansion also received news that Ye Tian had destroyed the Vulture Mercenary Group. They also learned that the leader of the City Guard had been instantly killed by Ye Tian in a single move.

"City Lord, what should we do now?"

At this moment, a City Guard commander asked City Lord Feitos for instructions.

"Don't do anything for now!"

"Ye Tian can instantly kill a Dou Grandmaster despite being only a Dou Master. Such a prodigy is not someone we can handle. To deal with him, we'll need to bring in the big shots."

Feitos felt that he had truly kicked an iron plate this time. In order to deal with a mere Dou Master, he had lost several High-tier Dou Masters and one Three-Star Dou Grandmaster. It was an utterly disastrous loss.

"Have someone spread the news and get it to the other cities as quickly as possible. It would be even better if it reaches the Imperial Capital. Then those big shots will take an interest in Ye Tian."

Thinking of how many experts he had lost in trying to seize Ye Tian's Earth-tier cultivation technique, Feitos grew angrier the more he thought about it. Since he could not deal with that youth himself, he could only have stronger people make a move.

"City Lord, isn't this a little inappropriate?"

Seeing that his superior still refused to give up, the commander immediately developed a headache. If this continued, he would sooner or later be dragged down and killed as well.

"Feitos! You have quite the nerve."

Just then, a powerful figure in black suddenly appeared in the hall. With a casual wave of his palm, he slammed Feitos straight into the floor.

"M-My lord... mercy... mercy..."

Faced with this sudden powerhouse, Feitos was terrified out of his wits. Enduring the pain, he immediately kowtowed and begged for mercy.

"Behave yourself. If you dare cause trouble again, your head will be forfeit."

After coldly warning Feitos, the black-clothed powerhouse vanished in an instant.

"M-My lord... was that... a D-Dou Emperor?"

After seeing the man in black disappear, the commander hurried over tremblingly to help the city lord up.

"That's right! I never expected that brat to have a Dou Emperor protecting him from behind the scenes."

After coming back to his senses, Feitos felt as though he had walked through Ghost Gate Pass. His entire body was drenched in sweat, his legs weak to the point that he could barely stand.
