Ya Fei's Submission—It Was Me Who Misunderstood Him!

Xiao Chuan looked Ya Fei up and down, then glanced at the seat beside him, gesturing for her to sit.

Ya Fei sat down with her legs crossed and asked Xiao Chuan with a smile, "May I ask what brings a Dou King to the Mittal Auction House?"

The Mittal Auction House in Wutan City was merely a small branch. It had nothing a Dou King needed.

Xiao Chuan had suddenly arrived late at night. Ya Fei guessed that he must have something else in mind, or he would not have sought her out.

"You help my Younger Brother become an alchemist, and I'll help you return to the Mite'er Family." Xiao Chuan went straight to the point without beating around the bush.

Ya Fei quickly thought of Xiao Chuan's younger brother, Xiao Yan. She had received information about Xiao Chuan's relatives yesterday.

But what concerned her most was Xiao Chuan's final statement: that he would help her return to the Mite'er Family.

The Mite'er Family was in Jia Ma Holy City. Ya Fei had come to such a small place for training.

As long as she met the requirements of her training, she could return to the Mite'er Family and be entrusted with important responsibilities by the family.

But what opportunities could she possibly find in such a small place?

Ya Fei had not held much hope, but after Xiao Chuan appeared, she saw hope.

Not only was Xiao Chuan handsome, but he had become a Dou King Expert at such a young age. His future was surely limitless.

If she could cling to such a powerful figure, everything would go smoothly for her, and returning to the family would be within reach.

Ya Fei asked softly, "How does the Dou King need me to help?"

"Provide him with enough medicinal ingredients to refine pills. Rest assured, his achievements as an alchemist will certainly not disappoint you."

Xiao Chuan did not want to wait too long. As long as there was an opportunity for Xiao Yan to improve, he naturally had to fight for it. "Also, do not tell him that I was the one who asked you to do this."

"Understood." Although Ya Fei did not know why Xiao Chuan was doing this, as long as she could curry favor with a Dou King, she was willing to pay any price. "Does the Dou King have any other conditions?"

"You brought it up yourself?" Xiao Chuan reached out, pulled Ya Fei onto his lap, and looked down at her in his arms. "How about having a few drinks with me tonight?"

How could Ya Fei dare refuse? If Xiao Chuan had taken a liking to her, she was more than willing to offer herself to him.

This was a world where the strong preyed on the weak. If she lacked the means to protect herself, she would eventually become a pawn in a marriage alliance.

Compared to marrying someone else, she found the Xiao Chuan before her much more pleasing to the eye, and he had far greater prospects.

He was handsome.

At such a young age, he was already a Dou King.

Whether Ya Fei valued looks or talent, Xiao Chuan had already entered her heart.

"As long as the Dou King wishes it, Ya Fei will drink with you until neither of us is sober," Ya Fei said bashfully as she lay in Xiao Chuan's arms.

Xiao Chuan looked at the seductress in his arms and took her soft, smooth hand. Her alluring fragrance washed over him. "Then have someone prepare the wine and food. We'll go over now."

Ya Fei summoned a servant and immediately had them prepare fine wine and dishes.

Not long afterward, a whole table of good wine and meat appeared before them. The meal had color, aroma, and flavor in abundance.

Ya Fei was very tactful. Sitting beside Xiao Chuan, she poured him a drink. "Dou King, please taste this wine. I heard from the manager that it has been aged for thirty years."

Xiao Chuan was not interested in wine. He was far more interested in Ya Fei beside him. "I never expected the person in charge of the Mittal Auction House to be such a beautiful woman."

"You flatter me, Dou King." As a woman, Ya Fei naturally liked hearing others praise her.

"You've seen my talent. Are you interested in becoming my woman?" Xiao Chuan preferred being direct, especially when using strength to conquer someone.

He understood his own advantages clearly. As long as this woman was not foolish, she would definitely accept his proposal.

"Dou King, what if I refuse?" Ya Fei voiced the doubt in her heart.

Xiao Chuan shook his head. "A forcibly picked melon is never sweet. I prefer melons that know the times."

"If the Dou King can help me return to the Mite'er Family, then from now on, I will be your woman!"

Ya Fei had lofty ambitions of her own. She did not think it shameful to rely on another.

She had seen the wider world and knew just how important it was to have someone backing her, especially at crucial moments.

At Xiao Chuan's current cultivation speed, he would become a Dou Emperor before long. When that happened, her status within the Mite'er Family would rise accordingly.

At present, the Mite'er Family had only one Five Star Dou Wang, their patriarch, Teng Shan.

Ya Fei deliberately poured another cup of wine and brought up the subject. "May I ask how many stars the Dou King currently has?"

"Nine Star Dou Wang Peak. I'm only one step away from breaking through to Dou Emperor." Xiao Chuan was actually only a Three Star Dou Wang, but reaching Dou Emperor was merely a matter of time.

He had Xiao Yan as a tool. As long as Xiao Yan advanced to Dou Zhe, he could advance to Dou Emperor.

Ya Fei was startled after hearing that. Only one step away from Dou Emperor?

She was a clever woman and knew Xiao Chuan had likely taken a liking to her because of her beauty.

And sometimes, beauty was also a kind of strength. After all, some people might not even possess such strength.

Knowing that Ya Fei had already yielded, Xiao Chuan reached out and pulled her into his arms, making her sit on his lap as they drank.

He breathed in her enticing fragrance and felt the softness of her delicate body, as though he were in a nightclub.

At that moment, Xiao Chuan felt like he was throwing money around in a nightclub.

However, at his current realm, alcohol could no longer intoxicate him. It only made him more alert, especially with a beauty in his arms.

In this small place, Ya Fei had always been someone others admired. Especially whenever the Mite'er Family was mentioned, people would show her extra consideration.

This was the first time she had ever tried to please someone. Before this, it had always been others trying to please her.

Before long, Ya Fei's little face had turned bright red. Two adorable blushes colored her cheeks as she gazed at him with misty eyes.

"Dou King, are you enjoying yourself?"

"Very much!"

Xiao Chuan patted Ya Fei's fair, tender thigh. Though it was covered by a layer of black stockings, it still felt smooth and soft beneath his hand.

Ya Fei gave Xiao Chuan a coy glance. This little rascal was even teasing her through the slightly opened slit.

Xiao Chuan would not be blinded by beauty. For someone like Ya Fei, who had charm but no real experience, teasing her was the most delightful.

Although Ya Fei appeared mature and alluring, when she became shy, she was like an innocent maiden. Her helpless appearance made him even more excited.

Ya Fei said bashfully, "Will the Dou King be staying here tonight? I can prepare a room for you."

"Not tonight." Xiao Chuan had promised his father that he would return tonight and drink heartily with him.

Ya Fei had thought Xiao Chuan would be eager to sleep with her. It seemed she had been overthinking things.

She had misunderstood Xiao Chuan as that kind of man...

"You seem rather disappointed?" Xiao Chuan took the opportunity to wrap an arm around Ya Fei's slender waist. There was not a trace of excess flesh on it.

Ya Fei turned her flushed face away, not daring to look into Xiao Chuan's eyes at all. "I'm not."
