What about Joyous Union Powder? It's still a precious medicinal pill!

Although the dog system agreed with his words, Xun'er pinched him again.

Then she glared at him slightly, her face full of shame and annoyance.

What kind of talk about a woman's crotch was that? Was that something Xun'er should be hearing?!

Such vulgar language was still far too stimulating for a pure, innocent girl like her who had yet to experience the ways of the world.

But Xiao Yuan was oblivious, only blinking at Xun'er with a confused look, signaling his bewilderment.

Seeing the two of them acting all lovey-dovey and flaunting their affection, Jialie Ao's reason was once again swallowed by rage!

"I don't care what your cultivation level is! If you have the guts, stand out and duel with this young master! The loser withdraws and leaves Miss Xun'er!"

He didn't believe in any fourteen-year-old Great Dou Shi; that was all nonsense from the Xiao Clan!

Rumors!

Today, I, Jialie Ao, will be the one to put an end to these rumors!

Slap!

A crisp sound of a palm striking flesh echoed through the street.

Xiao Yuan had swung his arm in a full arc and rewarded Jialie Ao with a slap, knocking his face completely askew.

His body flew backward instantly, crashing through several stalls before finally coming to a halt against a wall.

Xiao Yuan hadn't used any Dou Qi for this slap, nor had he even used his full physical strength, but for a weakling like Jialie Ao, it was nearly enough to kill him.

"You lot, don't forget to ask Young Master Jialie for compensation later, understand?"

This was directed at the Xiao Clan guards.

Those Xiao Clan guards nodded their heads like chickens pecking at rice.

Although Xiao Yuan was an adopted son of Xiao Zhan, they dared not disobey his words, fearing that this little ancestor might give them a taste of the same treatment.

Most of them were still at the Dou Zhi Qi stage and couldn't withstand such a slap.

However, they then watched as Xiao Yuan walked straight toward the sprawled-out Jialie Ao, causing the surrounding Xiao Clan guards to jump in alarm.

What was this little ancestor planning to do now?

Xiao Yuan reached Jialie Ao, grabbed him by the collar, and demanded:

"Do you know what my cultivation level is now?"

"Xiao Yuan, you..."

Slap!

Another strike.

The other side of Jialie Ao's face swelled up at a visible rate, and a few stray teeth could be seen rolling on the ground.

"I am a damn Great Dou Shi!"

"I..."

Slap!

"I am just like your own father, do you understand?"

Slap!

"Is this the attitude you show your own father?!"

Slap!

"Speak!"

Slap!

"Do you know?!"

Slap!

Giving Jialie Ao absolutely no chance to speak, he kept raising his palm and plastering it onto his face, beating him until even his own mother wouldn't recognize him.

Even if Jialie Ao managed to spit out a syllable or two, Xiao Yuan kept hitting him regardless.

He just wanted to slap him; it didn't matter if the other party knew or not.

The surrounding crowd couldn't even bear to watch.

Many of them were mercenaries, but seeing Xiao Yuan's methods and Jialie Ao's miserable state, they still felt a chill down their spines.

This was purely for the sake of torturing someone for amusement!

The word "ruthless" wasn't enough to describe it.

He was simply a savage!

Not to mention the group of Jialie Clan servants, who were already so terrified that they didn't dare take a single step forward.

Many of them scrambled away, fleeing the Xiao Clan Market to return to the Jialie Clan and summon their clan head.

Jialie Bi, the head of the Jialie clan, heard that his own son had been beaten by Xiao Yuan yet again.

Terrified, he hurriedly led his men to the rescue!

When Jialie Bi arrived at the Xiao Clan Market, he saw Xiao Yuan holding his son, Jialie Ao, and shoving an unknown pill into his mouth.

"Stop! How dare you!"

"Heh, you got here pretty fast."

Xiao Yuan grinned at Jialie Bi, showing no intention of stopping. He clamped a hand over Jialie Ao's mouth and forced the pill down his throat.

"There, your precious son, returned to you!"

He tossed him precisely into Jialie Bi's arms.

Jialie Bi hurriedly and carefully steadied his son, his aged hands trembling as he touched the face that had been beaten into a pig's head.

"Son, how are you?"

"Father, I... Pfft!"

Before Jialie Ao could finish his sentence, his pale complexion suddenly flushed an inexplicable crimson, his eyes turned bloodshot, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Son!"

Jialie Bi quickly ordered his men to bring Hemostatic Medicine for his son to take, then looked up and roared:

"Xiao clan brat, what did you feed my son!"

"Nothing much. I just saw that your son's vitality was weak, so I kindly fed him a blood-nourishing pill. Spitting blood is just a normal reaction."

Xiao Yuan shrugged innocently.

He wore the look of someone whose good intentions had been treated like a donkey's liver and lungs.

But Jialie Bi didn't believe it for a second, especially since Jialie Ao continued to spit blood even after taking the Hemostatic Pill!

"What kind of pill is it exactly!"

"Joyous Union Powder."

Xiao Yuan's answer was honest and sincere.

This answer was within Xun'er's expectations. She knew Xiao Yuan's character well; although he was usually kind to everyone, he was also the type to hold a grudge and retaliate for the slightest grievance.

So, it was impossible that he would give Jialie Ao any kind of blood-nourishing pill.

Even so, upon hearing the truth, Xun'er couldn't help but stifle a laugh.

This was even more ruthless than just killing Jialie Ao.

Although Jialie Bi didn't know what grade of pill Joyous Union Powder was, he understood the meaning behind the name "Joyous Union."

It was a damn aphrodisiac!

This bastard brat actually force-fed his son an aphrodisiac while he was injured!

Jialie Bi gritted his teeth fiercely and immediately stood up, intending to take Jialie Ao and leave.

At this moment, Jialie Ao's mind was already blurred. With the Hemostatic Pill taking effect and healing some of his external wounds, he now had the strength to start tearing at Jialie Bi's clothes!

"Father, I'm hot..."

He looked as if he were about to put on an eye-searing, live-action erotic show right there on the spot!

"Son, hold on. Father will take you home right now and find you a woman!"

With those words, Jialie Bi quickened his pace, preparing to flee the Xiao Clan Market.

However, Xiao Yuan flashed forward and blocked Jialie Bi's path.

"Hey, wait a minute. I just fed your son a very precious and rare pill. Shouldn't Clan Head Jialie show some appreciation?"

"Damn it, you force-fed my son an aphrodisiac, and I still have to pay you?!" Jialie Bi, disregarding his dignity as a clan head, cursed out loud.

"That's right."

Xiao Yuan nodded as if it were only natural.

"Even if it is an aphrodisiac, it's still an exceptionally rare and precious pill. You still have to pay."

Standing there like a roadblock, Xiao Yuan looked as if he wouldn't let them leave without the money.

He even fully unleashed the pressure of a Three-Star Great Dou Shi.

Jialie Bi's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

As a veteran Great Dou Shi, he believed he could certainly take down a brat of the same rank, but it would take time.

And right now, time was the one thing he lacked most!

His son couldn't wait!

After weighing the pros and cons, Jialie Bi gritted his teeth, pulled a card from his Storage Ring, and threw it at Xiao Yuan.

"There are fifty thousand gold coins in there, is that enough?!"

"Yes, yes, of course it is. As expected of the Jialie clan head, so generous. You're welcome to come back next time~"

Xiao Yuan not only cleared the path but even cheerfully bid the Jialie Clan farewell as they departed.

That final remark, "Welcome back anytime," nearly made Jialie Bi cough up blood on the spot.

He simply couldn't fathom how his own son could be such a fool!

Of all the people to provoke, he just had to pick this bane of the Xiao Clan!

Regardless, the grudge with the Xiao Clan was now set in stone.

Xiao Yuan, you just wait for me!
