Three-Year Agreement

To be honest, Nalan Yanran only wanted to break off the engagement; she had never intended to kill anyone. Otherwise, she could have hired a Dou Ling-level assassin to quietly eliminate Xiao Feng.

Only after hearing Xiao Feng say this did Nalan Yanran realize that her actions could cause such tremendous harm to the Xiao Family. No wonder he was willing to risk his life against her!

"Nalan Yanran, my grandfather and your grandfather were brothers bound by life and death. The Nalan Family and the Xiao Family can also be considered old family friends."

Xiao Feng's face was frosty as he said, "If you truly succeed in breaking off the engagement today, the Xiao Family and the Nalan Family will inevitably become bitter enemies. Perhaps you do not consider our Xiao Family worthy of your attention.

"However, I can guarantee you this: as long as I, Xiao Feng, draw breath, I will return the humiliation suffered by the Xiao Family to your Nalan Family and the Misty Cloud Sect a hundredfold!"

"..."

Ge Ye's expression changed slightly when he heard that.

If this had happened in the past, Ge Ye might have thought Xiao Feng simply did not know his own limits. But after seeing how ruthless he was even toward himself, Ge Ye could not help but feel somewhat wary.

It was best not to make an enemy of someone as ruthless as Xiao Feng. Even if one truly had to become his enemy, they had to pull him out by the roots and never allow him to grow. Otherwise, he would surely become a grave threat.

"Nalan Yanran, perhaps in your eyes, I am simply unworthy of a heavenly daughter like you."

Xiao Feng said with a look of disdain, "But what you do not know is that an idiot like you—someone who acts without considering the consequences and only knows how to make enemies for her family and sect everywhere—is even less worthy of becoming my wife. I do not want the Xiao Family to be dragged into extermination by you one day!"

"You... you..."

Nalan Yanran's pretty face flushed red, then turned pale with anger, yet she had no way to refute him.

"Xiao Feng, are you even a man? How can you press Yanran so relentlessly?"

Seeing this, Mo Li, who had taken it upon himself to act as her protector, could not help shouting at Xiao Feng, "What kind of ability is it to bully a girl? If you have the guts, fight me!"

"Ha ha ha..."

Faced with Mo Li's clumsy provocation, Xiao Feng shook his head with a laugh. "You people from the Misty Cloud Sect have truly opened my eyes!

"When the little one cannot win, does the bigger one jump out to avenge him?

"Like attracts like indeed!"

"Xiao Feng, you..."

"Shut up!"

Before Mo Li could finish speaking, Nalan Yanran cut him off in embarrassment and fury. "Have you not made me lose enough face already?"

Seeing his goddess grow angry, Mo Li, her faithful lapdog, immediately panicked and hurriedly waved his hands in explanation. "Junior Sister Yanran, that is not what I meant. I... I only wanted to help you!"

"Xiao Feng, I admit that I underestimated you. You are far more outstanding than I imagined, but that does not mean I am willing to marry you."

Nalan Yanran ignored Mo Li. Instead, she walked up to Xiao Feng, her expression somewhat complicated as she said, "Do you dare make a Three-Year Agreement with me? Three years from now, we will fight again at the Misty Cloud Sect.

"If you lose then, our engagement will be dissolved.

"But if you win, I, Nalan Yanran, will let you do as you please. I will serve you as a slave or maid without a word of complaint!"

Although Nalan Yanran had lost to Xiao Feng, she felt that he had merely used some clever trick and was not truly stronger than her. Naturally, she was unwilling to simply accept her fate!

Unfortunately, one of Xiao Feng's arms had already been crippled, and Nalan Yanran could not very well suggest fighting him again immediately. She could only make the Three-Year Agreement.

Never mind who would win or lose the Three-Year Agreement—simply delaying the engagement for three years was already an enormous gain for Nalan Yanran.

"Fine!"

Xiao Feng narrowed his Sword Eyes and said meaningfully, "I will grant you your wish. I only hope you will not regret it in the future."

"I will never regret it!"

After saying that, Nalan Yanran no longer had the face to remain in the Xiao Family. She directly left with Ge Ye and the others.

After Nalan Yanran and her group departed, Xiao Zhan hurriedly had Xiao Yan and Xiao Xun'er support Xiao Feng away to treat his injuries.

"Cousin Xun'er, watch over my brother here. I'll go invite Doctor Wang right away."

Just as Xiao Yan was about to leave, Xiao Feng suddenly stopped him. "Xiao Yan, there is no need to invite Doctor Wang. My injuries have already healed."

Aah!

Under Xiao Yan and Xiao Xun'er's shocked gazes, Xiao Feng tore away his tattered sleeve, untied the white bandages stained red with blood, and revealed his completely uninjured left arm.

"What is going on?"

Xiao Yan hurried to Xiao Feng's side and grabbed his arm to inspect it. He could not help asking suspiciously, "Brother, were you pretending just now?"

"Impossible!"

Xiao Xun'er shook her head without hesitation. "Brother Feng was not faking his injury. I personally bandaged his wound just now. His arm really was pierced through by Nalan Yanran's sword."

"Alright, alright~ You do not need to be so surprised. My recovery ability is just a little stronger than normal."

Seeing Xiao Yan and Xiao Xun'er's baffled expressions, Xiao Feng smiled and explained, "I only discovered it recently. Ever since my cultivation broke through to One-Star Dou Zhe, my recovery ability has suddenly become much stronger. Ordinary minor injuries can heal in just a few breaths. If you do not believe me, watch."

After speaking, Xiao Feng bit open his index finger, wiped away the blood, and held it out before the two of them.

Only after personally witnessing Xiao Feng's index finger heal at a visible speed did Xiao Yan and Xiao Xun'er believe him.

"Holy crap! What absurd recovery ability!"

Xiao Yan blurted out a curse before rubbing his chin in confusion. "But how come I have never heard that breaking through to One-Star Dou Zhe can greatly increase one's recovery ability?"

"If I am not mistaken, Brother Feng may have awakened some kind of special constitution, which is why his recovery ability has increased so drastically."

Compared to Xiao Yan, Xiao Xun'er was clearly far more knowledgeable. She knew that this world contained many miraculous constitutions.

For example, the Misfortune Poison Body, the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils, and the Three Thousand Stars Body.

Among them, the Three Thousand Stars Body was also known as the "Undying Body." It could absorb the power of the stars to strengthen oneself or heal injuries, granting recovery abilities beyond ordinary imagination.

Xiao Xun'er could not help asking curiously, "Brother Feng, aside from your stronger recovery ability, do you feel any other changes in your body?"

"Hmm..."

Xiao Feng deliberately frowned as if conflicted, then said somewhat uncertainly, "I feel like there's some special power hidden within my body, but I still have no way to use it."

The reason Xiao Feng said this was to lay the groundwork for using the Armored Titan's abilities in the future.

After all, the Armored Titan was simply too massive. Unless Xiao Feng never transformed into the Armored Titan again, there was no way he could keep this ability hidden.

Hearing this, Xiao Xun'er became even more convinced of her guess. She felt that he had probably awakened some kind of Special Physique.

The Xiao Family had once been the foremost of the Ancient Eight Clans. Although it had now declined, it was not all that strange for a few geniuses with Special Physiques to occasionally be born into the family.

"Brother, we're twins!"

After Xiao Yan recovered from his shock, he suddenly said excitedly, "Since you've awakened a Special Physique, does that mean I might awaken one in the future too?"
