Encountering Xiao Yi Xian Again

Xiao Yu looked over the Little Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's appearance with satisfaction. "Golden Retriever it is. As long as it doesn't attract attention!"

Xiao Yu ignored Little Zi's disgruntled gaze. Of course, its displeasure was useless; Xiao Yu had the final say now. After packing up his things, he took Little White and Little Zi out of the cave, preparing to leave the Monster Beast Mountain Range for Mo Tie City!

Having just reached a stretch of forest, Xiao Yu heard the sounds of fighting. His brows furrowed slightly, and with a movement of his feet, he darted up into a large tree.

Little White and Little Zi followed close behind. Xiao Yu shifted slightly to make room for the two little fellows, then looked toward the hillside ahead. His eyes narrowed at once.

It's her! Xiao Yu had not expected to run into Xiao Yi Xian here again.

However, Xiao Yi Xian seemed to be in trouble. A gaunt man stood before her, while more than a dozen burly men surrounded her. There was a wound on Xiao Yi Xian's body, and the white veil that had covered her face had long since fallen away, revealing an incomparably beautiful face. Even in such a perilous situation, she showed no fear, calmly looking at the gaunt man before her.

After giving Xiao Yi Xian a once-over, the gaunt man leered. "Xiao Yi Xian, isn't it a little lonely gathering herbs out here all by yourself? Your uncles have plenty of time to keep you company. If the revered Xiao Yi Xian were to pleasure us beneath our bodies, what a sight that would be. Hehehe..."

The surrounding burly men also burst into shameless laughter, their faces filled with lust as they stared at Xiao Yi Xian in the middle.

Xiao Yi Xian said evenly, "Oh? Didn't Mu Li, the young leader of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, say that I was to be brought back intact?"

To her surprise, the gaunt man laughed loudly. "Young leader? I'm the Second Leader of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group! As long as we bring you back alive, does it really matter to him or me whether you're intact?"

Xiao Yu naturally heard the gaunt man's words from not far away and muttered softly, "The Wolf Head Mercenary Group's Second Leader? I seem to remember his name being Gan Mu. A Nine-Star Dou Practitioner and a dozen or so five-star Dou Practitioners—this little dish wouldn't even take me two minutes to clean up!"

"Little lady, let your master enjoy that tender little face of yours!" As Gan Mu spoke, he reached out to touch Xiao Yi Xian's pretty face. Injured as she was, Xiao Yi Xian had no ability to resist. She could only watch helplessly as Gan Mu's hand drew closer and closer, closing her eyes in despair!

"Hey, isn't it a bit improper to molest a young lady like this in broad daylight?" Xiao Yi Xian, whose heart had already sunk into despair, heard a gentle laugh beside her ear. The voice seemed somewhat familiar, and she hurriedly opened her eyes. What entered her sight was Xiao Yu's tall, upright figure. Memories from two or three months ago suddenly flooded back—she remembered this youth!

Before Gan Mu could even react, he discovered that his hand had been caught by the youth in front of him. His face immediately darkened as he cursed, "Where did this little bastard come from? Get the hell out of my way and let go of my hand!"

After hearing Gan Mu's words, Xiao Yu still wore a gentle smile, though a trace of chill flashed through his eyes. The right hand gripping Gan Mu's began to slowly tighten!

Gan Mu had intended to break free from Xiao Yu's grasp, but no matter how hard he struggled, he could not pull away. Enraged, he cursed, "Let go of me, you little bastard!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, Gan Mu let out a miserable scream. "Ah! It hurts like hell! You lot, get him!"

Seeing that something was wrong, the surrounding burly men immediately swarmed forward and attacked Xiao Yu. Xiao Yu chuckled. "Why insist on delivering yourselves to your deaths?"

As he spoke, he drew Mo Scale from his back and casually swung it. A streak of Sword Qi tore through the air toward them.

Splat! Splat!

Several sprays of blood burst forth, followed by the terrified screams of the surrounding burly men. Their hands had been cleanly severed at the wrists, blood flowing without stop. The scene was exceptionally bloody. Xiao Yi Xian's face turned pale at the sight, but when she remembered what these men had tried to do to her, the last trace of pity in her heart vanished.

Those men no longer dared remain there and hurriedly fled toward the edge of the mountain range. Xiao Yu did not stop them. If they wanted to come back and court death, they were welcome to. The Wolf Head Mercenary Group was a cancer in this area anyway; getting rid of them would be for the best!

Seeing his subordinates dealt with so effortlessly by Xiao Yu, Gan Mu was no fool. He knew that he had kicked an iron plate today and quickly begged for mercy. "Young hero, boss, please spare me. I know I was wrong."

Then, enduring the pain in his hand, Gan Mu glanced at Xiao Yi Xian and said, "Boss, have you taken a liking to Xiao Yi Xian? I'll give her to you. A tender girl like her will definitely make you happy. Please be merciful and let me go!"

Gan Mu's words made Xiao Yi Xian's face flush red with anger. She rebuked him, "You're shameless!"

Xiao Yu smiled faintly. "Whether I spare you or not, she is mine now. Why would I need you to give her to me? Besides, one look at your lecherous face tells me you've harmed plenty of young women. It's hard for me to let scum like you go!"

Seeing that women would not work, Gan Mu tried tempting him with money. "No, no, I have money too. As long as you let me go, I'll give you all the money I've earned over the years. How about it?"

"I have money too. Not much, but enough!" Xiao Yu said with a grin.

When pleading failed, Gan Mu's eyes turned vicious and his face twisted into a ferocious expression. "I'm the Second Leader of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group in the Monster Beast Mountain Range! If you kill me, our leader won't let you off!"

Xiao Yu said indifferently, "Oh? And how exactly won't they let me off?" As he spoke, he casually revealed his strength as a Six-Star Dou Master. The violent aura instantly drained Gan Mu's face of color.

He stammered, "Y-you're a Dou Master?" After all, even Mu She, the leader of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, was only a Dou Master. Yet Gan Mu had never seen such a young Dou Master before!

Moreover, he could sense that the violent Dou Master aura surrounding Xiao Yu was far more fearsome than his own leader's strength. Otherwise, he would not have been overwhelmed by an urge not to resist. He had never felt such terror even in Mu She's presence!

Xiao Yi Xian also looked at the youth before her in astonishment. In merely a few months, he had gone from a Dou Practitioner to a Dou Master. Such terrifying talent left even Xiao Yi Xian shocked!

"Alright, I'm done playing with you. Blame yourself for coming to me. I find you very unpleasant, and you insulted me as well, so... go die!" A mass of white flames suddenly enveloped Xiao Yu's palm. The flames transformed into a fire snake and directly coiled around Gan Mu. In an instant, he turned into a pile of white ash on the ground. A breeze blew past, and it vanished without a trace!

Gan Mu was burned to death by Xiao Yu without even letting out a scream. Xiao Yi Xian's pupils contracted, but Xiao Yu did not care in the slightest, as though a human life had not just been taken!

After spending several months in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, Xiao Yu had killed quite a few monster beasts. He had long become accustomed to such bloody methods.

Turning around and seeing Xiao Yi Xian's dazed expression, Xiao Yu smiled gently. "Did that scare you?"

Only then did Xiao Yi Xian come back to her senses. She shook her head slightly. "He deserved to die."
