Please Don't Refuse Your Big Sister, Okay?

The countdown to Xiao Yuan's departure had already begun.

During this time, however, Xun'er stopped her cultivation and turned into a little shadow, sticking to Xiao Yuan's side every single day.

She cherished every minute and every second.

If it weren't for the fact that they couldn't sleep in the same room, she would likely have wanted to stay in his quarters all night long.

Finally, on the day before his departure, Xiao Yuan had to use all his powers of persuasion to convince Xun'er to stay behind at the Xiao Clan.

As for himself, he headed to the Auction House to handle the remaining matters with Ya Fei.

However, this time, he was not led to the previous reception room, but to a chamber in the backyard of the Auction House.

"Is this your boudoir?"

Xiao Yuan sat in a chair, casting a wanton gaze around the room.

The furnishings were simple, lacking excessive decoration, yet it featured a vanity table unique to a woman, and the color scheme leaned toward warm tones.

There was also a rich, sweet fragrance that one could smell the moment they stepped through the door.

"Of course. After all, little brother is my honored guest. How could I possibly neglect such an important guest when discussing serious matters?"

Ya Fei covered her red lips and giggled.

What she said did make sense, after all.

So, Xiao Yuan didn't overthink it; he simply sat there quietly sipping his tea, leaving the arrangements to Ya Fei.

Before long, several maids entered with food and wine, placing them on the table one by one.

Ya Fei invited him to take a seat, and Xiao Yuan did not refuse, sitting directly across from her.

Just like their first meeting in the reception room, Ya Fei busied herself once more, serving him food and pouring his wine as if she were a maid.

By now, she dared not—and could not—treat Xiao Yuan as a mere child anymore.

Because she had received far, far too much from him.

Xiao Yuan's gaze, however, remained fixed on Ya Fei.

Today, Ya Fei was wearing a black and red robe, which lacked the flamboyant and seductive air of her usual red qipao.

The composed black made her look even more elegant and noble.

The dark hemline made her pair of round, slender jade legs appear even fairer.

He didn't know if this woman was doing it on purpose, but every time she poured wine, she would lean in close.

The intoxicating fragrance lingered at the tip of his nose, stirring a fire within him.

Coupled with the faint, coy flush on that bewitching face, it was enough to make a man want to take her right then and there.

Tsk, what a tormenting little enchantress!

"Hehe... little brother, are my legs pretty?"

A teasing, light laugh interrupted his thoughts.

He looked up to see a pair of long, alluring peach-blossom eyes shimmering with moisture.

"Mm, they're quite pretty."

Xiao Yuan nodded and withdrew his gaze.

Though they're a bit inferior to Cousin Xiao Yu's. Those legs... hiss, they're practically longer than my own life.

As he thought this, he picked up his wine glass and took a small sip to suppress his emotions, then continued in a calm, indifferent tone:

"However, it is quite surprising. I didn't expect Miss Ya Fei to have already stepped into the realm of a Dou Zhe in just a few days."

He had noticed it just moments ago: Ya Fei was now a one-star Dou Zhe!

Ya Fei, however, felt both helpless and amused.

She really wanted to know how this little brother could have such wild thoughts in his head while maintaining such a calm and indifferent expression on the surface.

Unable to fathom it, she downed a cup of wine and said softly:

"That is all thanks to your medicinal pill, little brother. Otherwise, I truly don't know when I would have been able to cultivate to the Dou Zhe realm."

"Relying on my Marrow Cleansing Powder?"

"That's right. Though, when condensing the Qi cyclone, I did use one Qi Gathering Powder."

Ya Fei smiled with her eyes narrowed, but Xiao Yuan felt something was off.

Damn System, is the medicinal potency of this Marrow Cleansing Powder really that strong?

I remember Ya Fei was only at about the seventh stage of Dou Qi before. How much time has even passed?

It wasn't this monstrous when I took it.

Ding. Replying to the Host: That is because the user had a deep foundation, which was fully stimulated by the medicinal power of the Marrow Cleansing Powder. This situation will persist for a period of time.

If you put it that way, it makes sense. After all, she comes from a major clan...

Ya Fei did not interject, simply listening quietly to his inner grumblings.

Three rounds of wine and five courses of food had passed.

Xiao Yuan had been plied with quite a bit of alcohol during this meal, though fortunately, he showed no signs of being drunk.

Looking at Ya Fei, however, her face was already flushed, clearly showing she was at least thirty percent tipsy.

Heh, a mere Dou Zhe trying to outdrink a nine-star Great Dou Shi? You little vixen, I think you've really gotten ahead of yourself.

No sooner had this thought crossed his mind than he saw Ya Fei suddenly start fumbling with her own clothes.

Perhaps due to the heavy intoxication, her movements lacked restraint; her robe quickly became disheveled, and even the top three buttons on her chest were yanked open, revealing a vast expanse of snow-white skin.

That's a bit blinding... No! Wait! Big sister! What are you doing?!

Just as Xiao Yuan realized what was happening and moved to stop her, Ya Fei took out a crystal card she had been keeping close to her body, placed it on the table, and slowly slid it toward him.

The card still carried the lingering scent of her body and her warmth, and the emblem of the Mittal Family was etched onto its surface.

"Little brother, this is a VIP Card for the Mittal Auction House. It can be used at any of our branches, and the commission fee will be reduced from five percent to two percent..."

"Also, I've already finished handling the items in your Storage Ring. It totaled eight hundred thousand gold coins, all of which have been deposited into this VIP Card. I was originally supposed to take a one-hundred-thousand-coin commission, but this time... I don't really want to do that. Besides, I know you're going on a long journey, so I've prepared some healing salves and daily necessities for you as well."

As she spoke, Ya Fei took the Storage Ring off her finger and placed it atop the crystal card.

Looking at these items, a warm current flowed through his heart.

Even though he knew this was merely a transaction between them, it would be a lie to say Xiao Yuan felt nothing.

However...

"Why? This should be the payment you deserve, and there was no need to go to such trouble."

"Why, you ask..."

Faced with his question, Ya Fei smiled enchantingly. She rested her chin on her left hand, looked at him with misty, drunken eyes, and let a cloying, sweet voice escape her red lips:

"Because... little brother, you've really helped me so, so much... The cultivation talent I never dared to dream of, and completing the family trial ahead of schedule—all of these were things you helped me achieve."

"So, today, not only do I want to give you these, but I also intend to give you one more gift..."

As she spoke, Ya Fei suddenly stood up and swayed over to stand in front of Xiao Yuan.

Losing her footing, she tumbled right into his arms.

Whoa, is it really getting this intense?! No, is this vixen actually that drunk?

With the beauty in his arms, he could clearly feel the restless stirring of his own desire.

Xiao Yuan forced himself to steady the woman in his embrace.

"Miss Ya Fei, be careful..."

Before he could finish, Ya Fei suddenly reached out to cover his eyes, wrapped one arm around his neck, and took the opportunity to straddle his lap.

With her delicate body in his arms and his vision blocked by her cool, slender hands, Xiao Yuan's body stiffened instantly.

Immediately after, a small, clove-like tongue probed into his mouth.

Hot and bold!

This kiss was even more stimulating than the one with Xiao Xun'er!

Since things had reached this point, there was no need to push Ya Fei away; doing so would only hurt the young woman's heart.

Thus, Xiao Yuan did not refuse, slowly wrapping his arms around Ya Fei's waist.

After a long while, their lips parted.

Ya Fei still didn't take her hands away. She rested her head on his shoulder and whispered into his ear:

"Brother Xiao Yuan, I know your future is vast and that you could never belong to me. I truly have nothing else to repay your kindness with, only this humble body, which perhaps you don't even find appealing..."

Ya Fei's voice was laced with deep self-deprecation.

Because she thought of the Xiao Xun'er that Xiao Yuan had mentioned—that girl was not only gifted with exceptional talent, but her beauty was also something she couldn't compare to.

This was the first time she had ever felt such a sense of defeat.

"But, please don't refuse me, okay?"
