Ya Fei's Ambitions and Xiao Yi Xian's Worries

Being stared at like that by a battle-damaged, mature woman, Xiao Yan couldn't stand it. He could only bite the bullet and bow apologetically.

"I'm sorry, my strength is too weak. This is the limit of my control. I didn't mean to damage your clothes."

Seeing Xiao Yan's sincere expression, Ya Fei took a deep breath, her full chest heaving slightly, suppressing the chaotic thoughts in her mind, and nodded with a smile:

"It's alright, my sister wouldn't hold a grudge against a child."

Having said that, she took out a silk shawl from her Storage Ring and draped it over her shoulders, covering the patch of snow-white skin that was exposed due to the tear in her dress.

"Ultimately, they still lacked practical experience."

With his seasoned eye, Hai Bodong could naturally see the details of the battle just now. After shaking his head, he turned his gaze to Xiao Yan.

This kid is quite interesting. The cultivation technique he's practicing is probably already at the Earth Tier, and the Dou Technique he uses are all at the Mystic Tier, and they're all Dou Technique I've never seen before. Coupled with his skillful use of soul perception, he's truly a genius!

Considering he's only eleven years old and already possesses the ability to fight against Da Dou Shi, the Jia Ma Empire shouldn't be able to produce such a genius. Could he have come from the mainland?

"Yes, after I finish dealing with the Auction House matters, I will go to the desert to gain experience and improve my combat skills."

Ya Fei didn't bother to explain herself. Although she had indeed expended a lot of energy on the Auction House matter, that shouldn't be used as an excuse. She was only spared injury today because Xiao Yan had shown mercy.

But if it were an enemy, she would probably be seriously injured or even killed. She didn't want to think about anything worse.

By then, nobody cared about her excuses.

Although she knew she didn't need to work too hard—as long as she maintained a good relationship with Xiao Yan, she could easily catch up—if she always relied on others, wouldn't all her cultivation over the past two years and her considerable talent for cultivation be wasted?

But she didn't want to always hide behind others.

Imagine if, one day, Xiao Yan were in danger, you could tear through space to protect him and unleash the Mystic Ice Dragon Soar —what a wonderful feeling that would be!

That was the future Dou Emperor). Even if she only had one chance to be stronger than him, she would still be very satisfied.

The desire to become stronger was magnified infinitely in Ya Fei's heart.

Unfortunately, she didn't seem to fully realize what kind of monster the boy in black before her was.

"Since Sister Ya Fei is a member of the Mittel Family, then Elder Hai must also be a member of the Mittel Family, right? Could you perhaps be the Ice Emperor Hai Bodong, one of the Ten Great Experts of the Jia Ma Empire back then?"

Xiao Yan naturally wouldn't reveal his secret as a transmigrator who knew everything as soon as they met. Although the Ya Fei in front of him looked quite different from the Ya Fei in the original work, he thought it was fine this way.

With Ya Fei's current strength, it's definitely not a problem for her to advance to the Dou Wang level in about five years, and even the Dou Emperor is not impossible. With her and Elder Hai around, he has two more trustworthy experts in the Jia Ma Empire. This way, he can feel more at ease when he goes to the Jia Nan Academy to cultivate.

"I never imagined that after all these years, anyone would still remember my name..."

Looking at Xiao Yan's humble and respectful expression, Hai Bodong's usually cold face softened.

"You're probably not from the Jia Ma Empire, are you? I once traveled the continent myself, and with your talent and background, even the Misty Cloud Sect could never cultivate someone like you!"

Hai Bodong stroked his beard and spoke with considerable confidence.

"Elder Hai truly lives up to his reputation as a member of the Mittel Family; his insight is indeed extraordinary. However, this young man is indeed born in the Jia Ma Empire, but his master is a powerful force from the continent. It is entirely thanks to his master's dedicated cultivation that he has such a foundation."

In this world, one's background is self-made. Moreover, Xiao Yan truly has the background of the Starfall Pavilion, but he can't say it outright to avoid attracting the attention of the Soul Hall. However, it's fine to be vague about the situation.

"Hmm, I knew it. Oh, I remember, your name is Xiao Yan, right? Girl, I recall you mentioned before that your family discovered an extremely talented young man in... Wutan City, who advanced to the Dou Zhe level at the age of ten. Is this the kid?"

Hai Bodong nodded upon hearing this, then suddenly slapped his forehead, looked at Ya Fei with a sense of realization, and asked.

"I think it must be correct. I just didn't expect that in just one year, my brother Xiao Yan would be able to defeat Da Dou Shi. Perhaps in another three to five years, the entire empire's situation will change because of you!"

Ya Fei nodded slightly, and as she finished speaking, her beautiful eyes fell on Xiao Yan, clearly showing her curiosity and anticipation for him.

"I didn't expect that Sister Ya Fei and Elder Hai had already heard of my name. I'm quite flattered."

Xiao Yan wasn't too surprised; this kind of thing was exactly what he expected.

But we still have to put on an act.

"By the way, let me introduce you two. This is Xiao Yi Xian, my good friend. She is now Seven-Star Dou Master."

Xiao Yan introduced them with a smile.

"Yes, it's really good."

Hai Bodong had noticed earlier that the little girl in the white dress also gave him a faint sense of danger. He naturally didn't think he was imagining things; after all, he was Dou Huang expert who had fought his way out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood. If he didn't trust his intuition, he wouldn't have survived this long.

To give me this kind of feeling from just a Dou Master, this girl is no ordinary person!

"So it's Xiao Yi Xian. Her talent is quite a match for Little Brother Xiao Yan. No wonder they became friends."

Ya Fei's words were clearly meant to have a deeper meaning, but neither the thick-skinned Xiao Yan nor the Xiao Yi Xian who had returned from the time of the Heavenly Poison Maiden would blush because of such a teasing remark.

"Elder Hai, the person Ya Fei mentioned earlier that you were waiting for is Xiao Yan. After all, the teacher who could produce such a talented disciple as Xiao Yan must be no ordinary person. Although Pill King Gu He has a disciple, he is currently only an apprentice alchemist and probably still has a long way to go before he can learn alchemy."

Seeing this, Ya Fei also felt a bit bored, so she brought up the important matter.

"So, the person you mentioned before who could help me restore my cultivation is this kid?"

Upon hearing this, Hai Bodong raised an eyebrow.

Xiao Yan perked up his ears upon hearing this; he too wanted to know what Ya Fei and Hai Bodong had discussed.

Xiao Yi Xian's heart skipped a beat. Sure enough, this woman seemed to be just like herself...

Looking at her trembling breasts and round, full-moon-like buttocks, Xiao Yi Xian's expression became serious.

This woman is a formidable rival!
