14. Routines Win Hearts

Ya Fei's expression shifted instantly; her own guard was actually attempting to commit treason!

"Do you realize what you are doing!"

Ya Fei forced herself to remain calm, questioning him in a cold voice, attempting to use words to scare him off.

"If you just send me back, I will act as if I never heard what you said today, and I will cover up the things you have done."

"Pfft—" The fierce youth sneered, kicking Young Master Aoba to the side.

"Miss Ya Fei, you don't really think I'm that easy to fool, do you?"

"Ever since you told me about this matter, I have already made a trip back to my residence and brought all my savings with me."

The fierce youth approached Ya Fei step by step, a look of intoxication and obsession surfacing on his face.

"When I heard Miss Ya Fei say you wanted to lead this guy to a deserted place to teach him a lesson, I knew my chance had come—a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

Hearing this, Ya Fei knew that the fierce youth had already prepared for his escape.

A trace of panic could not help but flash across her face.

Ya Fei took a step back, and the fierce youth took a step forward.

"You don't need to take such a risk! There are so many good women in this world!"

Ya Fei's back hit the wall, leaving her nowhere to retreat; the panic on her face could no longer be hidden, and she spoke hurriedly.

"As long as you let me go, I promise I will definitely introduce you to a good match. With your status as a Dou Shi, there are definitely many women who would be willing!"

"Hehe, it seems Miss Ya Fei still doesn't know your own charm—the beautiful face, the proud figure, and that high and unreachable temperament."

The fierce youth seemed to think that since this was a remote place, he didn't mind chatting with Ya Fei for a while longer.

In his daily life as a guard, his communication with Ya Fei was limited to orders and acknowledgments; they had never chatted before.

"After staying by the side of a beauty like you for so long, how could I still have eyes for those common, flashy women?"

"Do you know what I think about the most every day? It's how to possess you, how to ravage you!"

The fierce youth spoke in a hurried tone, his breathing involuntarily quickening.

Seeing the fierce youth in this state, Ya Fei knew that using her beauty as a lure would be ineffective.

After all, as he had just said, she herself was the greatest beauty to be lured by.

Thinking of this, Ya Fei bit her lip lightly. After hesitating for a moment, she decided to reveal her true identity.

"I am a member of the Mite'er Family, and I only came to Wutan City for training. You had better think clearly; if you dare to lay a hand on me, you will face the wrath of the Mite'er Family!"

The fierce youth was stunned for a moment. As a guard, he naturally could not have known Ya Fei's true identity.

He had not expected that Ya Fei was actually a member of the Mite'er Family and had only come to Wutan City for training.

This made him hesitate.

After all, as one of the three great families of the Jia Ma Empire, the Mite'er Family possessed profound influence throughout the entire empire.

If he had been confident before that he could escape after dealing with Ya Fei, he now had very little confidence left.

Because the death of an ordinary auction house chief and the death of a member of the Mite'er Family were two completely different levels of impact.

The fierce youth's heart pounded, his brain racing rapidly.

He was a guard at the Mittal Auction House and was even more aware of the influence the Mittal Auction House held in the Jia Ma Empire.

If they really launched a full-scale manhunt, he would definitely not be able to escape; after all, he was merely a lowly one-star Dou Shi.

Seeing the hesitation on the fierce youth's face, Ya Fei felt a slight sense of relief.

As long as he hesitated, there was room for a turnaround.

This was the sharp, ruthless insight she had cultivated over the years.

Just as Ya Fei was racking her brain for what to say next, the fierce youth suddenly glanced at the short, fat figure he had kicked into the corner.

A brilliant plan emerged in his mind.

"Hmph, hahaha, I should actually thank Miss Ya Fei for the reminder, but I have already thought of a way."

The fierce youth suddenly chuckled, "As long as I disguise the scene a little, making it look like this person from the Aoba Clan defiled you, and that I arrived too late and killed him in a fit of impulse."

"Then I will leave behind a letter claiming I failed in my duties and feared punishment; that will clear my name entirely and leave the Mittal Auction House and the Aoba Clan to bicker with each other!"

"Even if it is eventually exposed, it will have bought me enough time to escape."

"Miss Ya Fei, what do you think of my plan?"

The fierce youth spoke with a wicked grin, his eyes keenly capturing the panic on Ya Fei's face, and he felt overjoyed.

Thinking that he would finally be able to pin the high-and-mighty Miss Ya Fei beneath him to ravage and possess her, he was uncontrollably excited.

Outside the alley, Xiao Ze and Xiao Xun'er exchanged a glance. Xiao Ze couldn't help but say, "This guy doesn't just have the lust and the guts; he actually has the brains for it too!"

"Brother Xiao Ze, should we make a move? It seems no one else is coming to this remote place."

The two of them had been waiting to see if anyone else would pass by to rescue Ya Fei, as she had not yet been harmed.

If it were not necessary, the two of them truly did not want to expose themselves.

That's right, the ferocious youth had been nothing but talk until now.

That guy seemed to be enjoying Ya Fei's panic and nervousness; he likely had never seen the noble and calm Ya Fei display such an appearance in his daily life.

"If no one else is going to step in, then we have no choice but to save her. It's impossible to just watch an innocent person suffer such defilement, right?"

Xiao Ze shrugged his shoulders, confirmed once more with his soul perception that no one was passing by, and sighed helplessly.

His figure shifted slightly as he snuck toward the alleyway.

Xiao Xun'er remained standing where she was; she was currently only at the ninth stage of Dou Qi.

Participating in a battle involving the Dou Shi realm would only hold Xiao Ze back.

As for Xiao Ze, Xiao Xun'er was not worried.

Although Xiao Ze was only a nine-star Dou Practitioner, the combat power he displayed was quite different from his cultivation level.

Xiao Ze had even neutralized a strike from a Dou Grandmaster and remained unscathed.

If things truly went south, Xiao Xun'er could still have Elder Ling intervene.

In the alley, the ferocious youth looked at the panic on Ya Fei's face, feeling immensely pleased.

He wanted to peel away Ya Fei's calm and noble exterior layer by layer, forcing her to reveal a panicked and weak posture before him!

"Now, it is finally time to enjoy the spoils."

The ferocious youth reached out with a wicked grin. Ya Fei's body trembled slightly; as if imagining her own miserable future, her eyes grew moist.

At the same time, she felt a sliver of regret—why did she have to wait until she reached this secluded place?

If she had exposed Young Master Aoba's tailing earlier, perhaps someone would have passed by and saved her by now.

Ya Fei closed her eyes in despair, but immediately opened them again with stubbornness.

Even if she were to die, she would not die so cowardly!

"That's right, keep your eyes open. If you close them, it takes away much of the fun."

The ferocious youth looked into Ya Fei's eyes and said with emotion.

A trace of surprise appeared in Ya Fei's eyes, for she saw a cloaked figure suddenly emerge behind the ferocious youth!

Just a moment before the ferocious youth could grab Ya Fei's arm, a chilling sense of lethal danger surfaced in his heart.

At the same time, a violent surge of Dou Qi erupted from behind him.

Before the ferocious youth could react, he felt a heavy blow to his neck and collapsed to the ground with a thud.

A sharp pain flooded his brain as his head took a heavy impact, and the next moment, his consciousness plunged into darkness.

"Tsk, still a bit short, I could only reach his neck."

After knocking the ferocious youth down, Xiao Ze delivered another kick to the man's head. Seeing that he no longer moved, he finally let out a sigh of relief.

Xiao Ze raised his head, looked at Ya Fei, and said, "Miss Ya Fei, you are safe now."

Seeing this handsome, youthful face, the taut string in Ya Fei's heart finally snapped. Her legs went weak, and she couldn't help but lunge forward.

A bunch of question marks popped up in Xiao Ze's mind. Although "the hero saves the beauty and she offers herself in return" was a classic trope, it shouldn't be this proactive, right?

Xiao Ze thought about it and decided not to dodge.

After all, judging by the speed at which Ya Fei was lunging, if he dodged, she would likely smash her face right into the ground!
