One Day I Will Repay You a Hundredfold

Xiao Tian took the wine glass, and Han Xue deliberately lowered her glass. The two gently clinked glasses, and she drank it all in one gulp.

Xiao Tian glanced at Han Xue with appreciation, but didn't rush to drink. Instead, he sniffed the aroma of the wine and raised an eyebrow slightly. "Is this made with Lapis Grass?"

Han Xue was slightly taken aback. She hadn't expected Xiao Tian to be able to distinguish the ingredients of the wine so easily, and she couldn't help but feel more admiration for the man in front of her.

Xiao Tian downed his drink in one gulp, closed his eyes slightly, and savored its flavor. After a moment, he opened his eyes and said, "Excellent wine! Smooth on the palate, yet potent, just like Miss Han's personality—cold on the surface, but soft on the inside."

Han Xue's cheeks flushed slightly. She hadn't expected Xiao Tian to not only appreciate wine but also praise her so highly. She said shyly, "Young Master Xiao, you flatter me. I really don't deserve such praise."

"Miss Han, you are mistaken. I, Xiao, am always pragmatic and never flatter people lightly." Xiao Tian smiled, looking at Han Xue's shy expression, and said with a slight upturn of his lips, "You say you don't deserve it, but the taste of this wine is right here, and the young lady is right in front of you. I can read faces, so how could I be wrong?"

Han Xue became even more embarrassed by his straightforward and humorous words, and lowered her head. "Young master, just call me Han Xue."

The surrounding guards overheard the conversation between the two, their expressions quite strange, as if they were watching a spectacle unfold.

Only Zi Yao was eating meat and drinking wine heartily, seemingly uninterested in anything else.

Han Xue took a few deep breaths and quickly changed the subject, as she was about to die of embarrassment if she continued. She took out a few wine jugs and placed them on the table. "If you like this wine, young master, I have a few more jugs here. Please enjoy them to your heart's content."

Xiao Tian waved his hand and smiled, "The wine is fine, but one cup is enough. Miss Han didn't obtain this easily, so I appreciate your kindness."

"Miss Han Xue, it would be better if you gave this wine to the two of us than to this Xiao Bai," an aged voice rang out, followed by several figures flying up from the hillside, led by two old men.

The two were dressed in light red robes, with an identical red badge on the chest of their robes.

Xiao Tian had already discovered these people, which is why he suddenly came to this caravan.

"Lord, should I deal with them?" Zi Yao asked Xiao Tian telepathically. These people knew that their master had already discovered them. Although they were magical beasts, they weren't brainless. They needed to ask him about this situation.

"No need, you can eat your food," Xiao Tian transmitted his voice.

"Damn it, they're from the Hong Family." Han Chong to the front, looking at the two old men in front of him with apprehension.

Han Xue stood up, her icy gaze fixed on the two elderly men. "What do you want here?"

The old man who had spoken earlier fixed his gaze on Han Xue and said with a faint smile, "We two have come here for you, haven't we?"

"I never expected that you would bother Elder Hong Mu and Hong Lie just to capture a mere woman like me. I am truly honored," Han Xue said sarcastically.

As she said this, Han Xue's heart sank. These two Elder of the Hong Family were both around the level of Four-Star Dou Huang. Even if she were to face one of them, she would be doomed.

She turned to look at Xiao Tian, who was still sitting, then at Zi Yao, who was still eating. "Young Master Xiao, they came for me. Find a chance to have him take you away later."

Although the opponent has Sixth Order Magical Beast mount, they also have two Dou Emperor, so I can't bear to involve them.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Tian gently put down his wine cup, his gaze remaining calm. He slowly stood up, brushed the dust off his robes, his movements seemingly casual, yet exuding a composed and unhurried demeanor.

"Kid, you want to be a hero and save the damsel in distress? Be careful you don't lose your life." Hong Lie looked at Xiao Tian and smiled cruelly.

"With just two ants like you?" Xiao Tian stretched out his hand, slightly raised his fingertips, and gently clenched his fist in the air.

The surrounding space twisted eerily, like an invisible giant hand crumpling paper, making a tearing sound that made your teeth ache.

The space around Hong Mu and Hong Lie shattered instantly, as if thousands of blades were tearing their bodies apart. The two tried to resist, but before they could make any move, they turned into blood mist and dissipated in the air.

The spatial rift continued to expand, and the rest of the Hong Family were instantly wiped out by it.

The entire process took only a fleeting moment.

Everyone stared blankly at the sky filled with blood mist. Two Dou Huang expert had vanished without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Han Xue stood there dumbfounded, her mouth agape, wide enough to fit a fist, her face filled with disbelief.

Her eyes were wide open, as if she wanted to etch this incredible scene into her mind forever.

Xiao Tian glanced at Han Xue and then waved to Zi Yao.

Zi Yao reverted to his original form, ate the meat in one bite, and arrived high above Xiao Tian. Xiao Tianyi flashed and landed on his back.

Han Xue suddenly realized what was happening. Her body trembled slightly as she slowly turned her head, only to find that Xiao Tian had already begun to leave.

Han Xue summoned her Dou Qi Wings, wanting to catch up with Xiao Heavenly Dao.

But before she could take flight, Xiao Tian froze her in place.

Han Xue clenched her fists tightly, trying hard to control her emotions, and shouted to Xiao Tian, "Young Master Xiao, I thought I was doomed this time. Thank you for saving me. Xiao Tian, how can I ever repay your great kindness?"

Xiao Tian waved his hand, his eyes indifferent. "It was just a small favor. I saved you not out of any expectation of repayment. Perhaps you'll understand in the future."

Upon hearing Xiao Tian's words, Han Xue was slightly taken aback, not understanding their meaning. She bit her lip and called out to Xiao Tian's departing figure, "Xiao Tian, even so, I, Han Xue, will never forget your great kindness, and I will repay it tenfold in the future. If you ever need anything in the future, I will go through fire and water for you without hesitation."

"Here, this will be good for you. Consider it a reward for the barbecue and wine you treated me to today."

After Xiao Tian finished speaking, a Jade Bottle slowly fell from the sky and landed in front of Han Xue.

Han Xue reached out and caught the Jade Bottle, her eyes fixed on the direction where Xiao Tian had disappeared. She wanted to say something, but it was too late. All her words turned into a silent gaze.

Han Xue's fingers unconsciously tightened, gripping the Jade Bottle tightly.

"Xiao Tian..." Han Xue murmured the name softly, clenching her fist slightly, her eyes gradually becoming firm.

She slowly opened the Jade Bottle, and a line of text floated out, describing the effects of the elixir.

From the information above, she knew that this pill could help Half-Step Dou King break through to the Dou King Realm. Her expression was complicated as she carefully put the Jade Bottle into her bosom, feeling the warmth it emanated from her chest.

Han Xue took a deep breath, raised her head again, and silently made a vow in her heart. "Xiao Tian, no matter where you are, no matter how the future changes, I Han Xue, will remember this kindness."

She then glanced at the Han Clan's guards, returned directly to her vehicle, and a chilling, captivating voice rang out. "Pack your things, the convoy is setting off, heading back to Tianbei City tonight."

The group quickly packed up all their belongings and cleaned up any remaining traces before setting sail.

On a secluded tree trunk, two figures stood silently, watching the group depart.
