Ya Fei's New Lip Balm

Chu Yun Empire, Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate.

Because the Tianxin Empire's Soul Hall wiped out many forces in the Northwest Continent, the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate, as one of the unfortunate ones, is now somewhat destitute.

But today, the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate has received an uninvited guest.

That was a terrifying existence.

The Dou Zong powerhouse wielded a bluish-green flame, stood on silver-gray lightning, and wore a wide black robe.

After this guy arrived, he didn't say a word and immediately started attacking.

Even though the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate had used its sect's Sect Protecting Array, it didn't hold out for long before the enemy broke through it.

At this moment, Xie Shan, the sect leader of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate Sect, looked at the figure in black robes floating in the sky and asked in a deep voice:

"Why exactly does the senior want to deal with my Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate? At least give a reason, right?"

Upon hearing this, the man in the black robe finally turned his gaze, which had been hidden beneath the wide hood of his black robe, toward them.

That gaze was incredibly cold, Xie Shan couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.

Only when cold sweat poured down his back did the man in black robes coldly say:

"I can't be bothered to talk to you, you don't deserve to listen!"

Having said that, the man in black robes flashed and appeared directly in front of him.

Xie Shan's current strength is only around Eight-Star Dou Emperor, so he is completely powerless against the attacks of a Dou Zong level expert.

As Xie Shan hurriedly dodged, he took out a blue whistle from his Storage Ring and blew it.

Soon, the entire mountain peak not far away trembled, and then a sharp screech suddenly rang out from the poisonous mist-filled ravine beside the mountain peak. Immediately afterward, a colossal creature burst out of the poisonous mist and rushed straight towards Xiao Yan's Three Thousand Lightning Fire Body.

With Xiao Yan's Three Thousand Lightning Fire Body, it was not difficult for him to see that this was a giant scorpion that was dozens of feet long. It had four pairs of giant wings on its back, and its hairy, jet-black legs stood tall in the sky. The legs were covered with sharp serrations that were as long as a human thigh, and they gleamed with a faint purple light.

Behind it, a scorpion tail as long as its body swayed slightly, and a cold glint appeared at the sharp tip.

"Four-Winged Heavenly Demon Scorpion?"

He recognized the origin of the magical beast at a glance, and then sneered.

Even as an avatar, his physical strength is nowhere near as monstrous as the original body, but his combat power is still comparable to Dou Zong expert.

What kind of trouble could a mere Sixth-Rank Magical Beast possibly cause?

The Four-Winged Heavenly Demon Scorpion hissed, accompanied by a foul wind and poisonous mist. Its huge pincers, accompanied by a shrill whistling sound that tore through the air, slammed down on the black-robed figure hovering in mid-air. Its tail hook, like a poisoned javelin, pierced directly at his face.

"Snort!"

Faced with this terrifying pincer attack, the figure in black robes merely let out a cold snort.

He didn't move an inch, not even glancing at the stinger that was thrusting straight at him. Instead, he casually raised his hand, which was burning with a bluish-green flame, towards the giant scorpion that was lunging at him.

"Boom!"

The azure flames instantly surged, transforming into a gigantic fiery hand. It wasn't used to defend against the giant claw, but rather, with pinpoint accuracy, it seized the ferocious head of the Four-Winged Heavenly Demon Scorpion!

"Hiss!!!"

A bloodcurdling scream, piercing to the extreme, suddenly erupted and then abruptly ceased.

That hardened carapace, strong enough to withstand even Dou Huang expert, was as fragile as paper in the face of the azure-blue Heavenly Flames.

The terrifyingly high temperature of the fused flames instantly invaded the scorpion's body.

The enormous scorpion head in the fiery palm melted at a visible speed, like an ice block thrown into a furnace!

The massive body convulsed violently, crashing to the ground with its remaining momentum, kicking up clouds of dust. The head had vanished without a trace, leaving only a charred, smoking wound. The air was thick with the pungent smell of burnt bits mixed with venom.

Sixth-Rank Magical Beast, the Four-Winged Heavenly Demon Scorpion, was instantly killed in a single encounter!

The entire Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate Square fell into a deathly silence in an instant.

All the disciples and elders, including the sect leader Xie Shan, were dumbfounded, their bodies turning ice-cold, as if they had fallen into Ice Cave.

Their sect's guardian beasts, which had been the mainstay of their power intimidating enemies, couldn't even withstand a single blow from their opponent?!

"Fine, I'm not playing with you guys anymore."

Xiao Yan's Three Thousand Lightning Fire Body watched this scene with utter boredom.

Not challenging at all!

This is just indiscriminate killing!

He then proceeded to refine the corpse of the Four-Winged Heavenly Demon Scorpion, seemingly oblivious to everyone else.

Before long, the Magical Core, essence blood, the sharpest poisonous needles and pincers of the Four-Winged Heavenly Demon Scorpion, as well as the venom sac inside its body, were all extracted.

As for the rest of the body, it had already been refined into ashes.

The members of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate were completely devastated upon witnessing this scene.

This man in black robes is simply a demon!

"Who... who exactly are you?"

Xie Shan's voice trembled violently with fear and despair.

"I'm just a debt collector passing by, you can write this down... never mind, it doesn't matter whether you write it down or not!"

The black-robed man's indifferent voice rang out, followed by a large hand formed from cyan-blue flames.

The azure-blue fiery hand rapidly enlarged in Xie Shan's eyes, and then everything went black before his eyes, and he knew nothing more.

What followed, naturally, was a massacre.

Because he had already set up a soul barrier, none of the members of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate escaped; they were all cremated.

"Let's go, next place!"

The man in black casually clapped his hands, then turned and headed towards the next force to be eliminated.

The clone on this side was carrying out the mission of destroying the country under Xiao Yan's orders, while Xiao Yan himself had already returned to the Jia Ma Empire with Xiao Yi Xian and Han Yue.

Although it took the three of them quite a while to get there, they returned in just three days.

After returning to the Xiao Mansion in the Imperial Capital, Xiao Yan arranged for Xiao Yi Xian and Han Yue to stay in his Young Clan Head's Courtyard so they could rest well, while he himself went straight to the Yan Alliance headquarters.

The headquarters of the Yan Alliance was originally a Manor owned by the Mittel Family in the Imperial Capital, but it has now been transformed into the headquarters of the Yan Alliance.

It can only be said that the Mittel Family really knows how to invest.

If Xiao Yan weren't strong enough on his own and didn't need to rely on the Mittel Family, or rather, on Ya Fei to live off her, he...

Ya Fei is currently conducting her daily work in the Alliance Leader's Office.

In fact, she now devotes most of her energy to this.

As for the Mittel Auction House, the Mittel Family has no shortage of management talent.

Moreover, given her current status, there's no need for her to appear in public and put on a smiling face as an auctioneer.

She'd rather spend that time cultivating so she can open the Mittel Auction House in Central Plains sooner.

Throughout the year, the Yan Alliance continued to expand outwards in accordance with the strategy set by Xiao Yan.

However, the Yan Alliance is a large alliance, and it requires a lot of resources and time to operate.

Therefore, since the establishment of the Yan Alliance, it has not yet officially begun to expand outwards.

Xiao Yan did not conceal his aura, so the moment he entered the room, Ya Fei raised her head and looked at him.

"Sister Ya Fei, I'm back."

Xiao Yan intended to walk over and put his arm around Ya Fei.

But Ya Fei, true to her gentle and understanding nature, immediately took the initiative and pulled the boy into her fragrant and soft embrace.

A powerhouse of Xiao Yan's caliber wasn't worried about suffocating, so he simply let Ya Fei reward him by massaging his facial muscles with the soft, warm Mittel Mountain.

All I can say is that Ya Fei understands him too well.

However, Xiao Yan didn't have much desire to do those kinds of things with Ya Fei at the moment.

He simply wanted to rest amidst the warmth and comfort of her.

Recharge yourself.

Xiao Yan took a deep breath, the mature, rich, and reassuring fragrance emanating from Ya Fei filling his nostrils, and he relaxed completely.

Ya Fei noticed the weariness of the boy in her arms as he let his guard down, and felt even more pity for him.

Of course she knew the immense pressure Xiao Yan had been under all these years. Becoming Dou Zong expert in just six years seemed incredibly glamorous, but the price he paid behind the scenes was equally high.

She gently stroked Xiao Yan's hair with her delicate hand, her movements soft and her voice extremely low, as gentle as water.

"It's good to be back. You look travel-worn; this journey must have been arduous. Has Xiao Yi Xian's Woe Poison Body been resolved?"

Xiao Yan's cheeks were buried in the warm, soft embrace, and his voice sounded somewhat muffled:

"Yes, it's resolved. The Nether Poison Flame has been successfully refined by Xiao Yi Xian, and the Woe Poison Body is now completely under her control. There are no more worries. She is now Dou Zun expert, and her strength has greatly increased."

His tone was filled with genuine satisfaction.

"Dou Zun?!"

A mixture of shock and joy flashed across Ya Fei's beautiful eyes.

She knew a little about Xiao Yi Xian's situation, and she had long known that Xiao Yi Xian would be her sister for life. Therefore, when she heard that Xiao Yi Xian's health problems had been resolved and her strength had increased dramatically, she was genuinely happy for Xiao Yi Xian and for Xiao Yan.

"That's wonderful! Xiao Yi Xian has finally seen the light at the end of the tunnel!"

Ya Fei nodded. As intelligent as she was, she naturally understood that what Xiao Yan needed most at this moment was a brief moment of peace.

She didn't ask any more questions, but simply comforted him silently with her soft embrace.

The only sounds in the office were the two of them breathing softly, and the faint sounds of the bustling Imperial Capital coming from outside the window.

Half an hour later, Xiao Yan finally lifted his head from her embrace, shifted his body upwards, naturally wrapped his arms around her soft waist, and rested his head in the crook of her neck.

Even across the majestic Mittel Mountains of Ya Fei, the two could feel each other's heartbeats.

"Sister Ya Fei," Xiao Yan spoke, his tone calm yet carrying a chilling aura, "Prepare yourselves, it's time for the Yan Alliance to make its move."

Upon hearing this, Ya Fei's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she immediately understood what he meant.

She sat up straight, her exquisite face revealing the shrewdness and competence befitting the leader of the Yan Alliance.

"What is the goal?"

Xiao Yan's lips curled into a cold smile, his eyes sharp as knives, as he clearly uttered four words:

"The Chu Yun Empire"

This answer was within Ya Fei's expectations. In her previous life, the Yan Alliance also started by expanding its power from the Chu Yun Empire, and she also knew about the Xiao Yi Xian and the Heavenly Poison Maiden.

"For the sake of Xiao Yi Xian?"

She asked softly.

"Yes, you know why."

Xiao Yan nodded slightly, his hair brushing against Ya Fei's ear and making her ears itch.

"The destruction of a nation?"

Ya Fei immediately understood Xiao Yan's thoughts.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan raised his head and looked out the window. It was as if he could see through space and already see his clone who had been rampaging through the Chu Yun Empire.

His voice turned cold, each word he uttered seeming to carry a chilling murderous intent:

"Sweep away the enemy's lair and eradicate their roots. From this day forward, I will ensure that the Northwest Continent will never again be desolate."

Looking at Xiao Yan's ferocious face, contorted with rage for the sake of his beloved, Ya Fei felt no fear. Instead, she was somewhat captivated by Xiao Yan's appearance.

He had done something similar for her before.

She wouldn't be jealous about it.

Because as Xiao Yan's women, they all enjoy such treatment.

We are all equal, sisters who have been together for a lifetime!

"Your little man has really developed some mature charm these days. I've been using a newly developed lip balm made with medicinal herbs these past few days. Would you like to try it?"

As Ya Fei gazed at Xiao Yan's profile, her eyes gradually grew intense.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan snapped out of his daze. Looking at Ya Fei's luscious red lips and the flames gradually burning in her eyes, he immediately understood everything.

Whether he wants to taste it or not is unimportant.

The important thing is that Sister Ya Fei wanted him to try it.

"Lip rouge made from medicinal herbs? Have the alchemists of the Mittel Family really sunk so low as to develop rouge and face powder for you?"

Xiao Yan smirked and teased.

"My sister isn't that kind of person. It's Master Gu Ni took on a disciple. That girl is quite interested in this kind of thing, so I simply let her study these things. This is a new product, and it won't be officially Auction House until next month."

As Ya Fei explained, she pinched Xiao Yan's chin with her slender, jade-like fingers.

"How about it? You're Eighth-Grade Alchemist, you should be able to tell what medicinal herbs were used, right?"

Ya Fei's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, her long, narrow eyes exuding a foxy charm, and the tip of her nose almost touched Xiao Yan's nose.

"Sure!"

How could Xiao Yan refuse such an invitation, especially since it was Ya Fei who had taken the initiative to offer it?

He leaned forward slightly and pressed his lips to those two luscious red lips.

It feels warm and soft to the touch, but unlike before, a faint fragrance of medicinal herbs wafts into the nostrils.

Alchemists of Xiao Yan's caliber could actually identify medicinal herbs just by their scent, but that wasn't really important.

He began to savor the taste of the lip rouge.

Initially, it is refreshingly sweet, like mint leaves glistening with morning dew, instantly bringing a subtle coolness.

Immediately afterwards, a warm and mellow fragrance emerged, like some rare flower nectar, with the essence of aged medicinal herbs. It was not bitter, but rather had a unique aftertaste.

Finally, there was a very subtle, almost imperceptible, unique flavor.

Xiao Yan was quite familiar with the smell of this stuff.

Feeling the rising heat within his body, a smile appeared at the corner of Xiao Yan's eyes.

This lip gloss isn't for everyday use; it's more like something couples would use for romantic moments.

It's a bit infuriating.

Ya Fei's breathing became rapid, and she winked at Xiao Yan.

He was still doing bad things in the office.

"Sister Ya Fei, you seem to really enjoy being here..."

After Xiao Yan finished tasting, he grabbed Ya Fei's plump buttocks and carried her onto his desk.

Hearing Xiao Yan's teasing, Ya Fei bit her lip and didn't say anything, but simply spread her legs slightly apart.

Xiao Yan's pupils dilated in shock, and after a long while, he finally gave a thumbs up.
