Xiao Tianci's Terror!

"It should be..." A grave expression appeared in Xun'er's eyes as well.

Such terrifying Dou Qi techniques and aura were completely unlike any Dou Qi technique she had ever seen before.

It was as though the Dou Qi technique Xiao Tianci had just used belonged to an entirely new school!

"It seems the Xiao Clan has produced someone extraordinary. Could it be a bloodline awakening?"

Xun'er murmured softly.

"Xun'er, what did you say?" After recovering from his shock, Xiao Yan heard her quiet murmur and asked curiously.

"Nothing." Xun'er hurriedly shook her head.

"Now I'm rather curious. Judging by everything Xiao Tianci has displayed, it definitely isn't Dou Qi. Just what realm has he reached?"

Xiao Yan pondered, "Why would someone with such terrifying talent and strength leave the clan with the impression that his talent was terrible? Was he hiding his true abilities? But he hid them far too deeply."

After mastering the Immortal Kneeling Sword, Xiao Tianci was in an excellent mood.

He slowly made his way out of the dense forest.

Yet not long after returning to the Xiao Clan, a rather pleasant voice sounded from behind him.

"Tianci, looks like you're in a good mood today."

Xiao Tianci turned around at those words.

The first thing that entered his sight was a pair of flawless, long legs.

Following those legs upward, he saw a curvaceous figure and Xiao Yu's half-smiling face.

"Mm, not bad." Xiao Tianci nodded and raised his brows at Xiao Yu. "What about you? Instead of cultivating, you wander around the clan every day.

Aren't you afraid your instructor will find that your strength hasn't improved at all when she arrives?"

"Who said I haven't been cultivating?" Xiao Yu rolled her eyes. "Besides, I only just broke through. How could it be so easy to break through again? Getting out to relax is good for cultivation too."

"I see." Xiao Tianci nodded thoughtfully, then turned to leave.

"What? You're leaving after only a few words?" Seeing his movement, Xiao Yu raised her brows and teased, "Are you afraid I'll demand repayment?"

Xiao Yu could now be considered Xiao Tianci's creditor, so she had become much bolder when speaking to him.

Of course, the main reason was that Xiao Tianci's personality had changed greatly compared to before.

If it had been in the past, Xiao Yu would never have joked with Xiao Tianci like this, nor would Xiao Tianci have borrowed money from her.

"If you really don't have any money, going with what we agreed on at the beginning wouldn't be bad either..."

By the end, a seductive curve had appeared on Xiao Yu's red lips.

Seeing this, Xiao Tianci stopped turning away and instead strolled over to Xiao Yu.

The distance between them steadily narrowed.

Until, in the end, they were standing extremely close together.

Xiao Yu could even feel the breath coming from Xiao Tianci's nose.

In an instant, her face visibly reddened.

"Y-you..." Xiao Yu's body went somewhat weak, and she leaned against the tree behind her.

"What? Weren't you just asking me to repay the money? Your reaction seems a little off now." Xiao Tianci chuckled.

Only at such close range did Xiao Tianci realize even more clearly just how stunning Xiao Yu's figure was.

With that thought, Xiao Tianci reached out his hand.

Smack.

A crisp sound rang out.

Xiao Yu's eyes flew wide open, her beautiful eyes filled with disbelief.

Because Xiao Tianci had actually given her pert backside a light slap!

Feeling the astonishing softness in his palm, Xiao Tianci could not help clicking his tongue.

That figure, that feel—absolutely top-notch.

Seeing even the last of her strength about to vanish, Xiao Yu instantly came to her senses.

Then she gently pushed Lin Tianci away and fled in panic!

The sword hanging at her waist swung wildly, occasionally striking her jade pendant and producing crisp chimes.

"Tch, after all that, she's just all talk." Watching Xiao Yu flee in embarrassment, Xiao Tianci laughed loudly.

Xiao Yu ran home as though fleeing for her life.

Only then did her burning cheeks gradually return to normal.

"Hah."

Xiao Yu took a deep breath. Even now, she still felt as though it were unreal.

Why had Xiao Tianci, who had once been so shy, changed so drastically?

"That guy's skin is way too good. I really don't know how he usually takes care of it." Xiao Tianci's face surfaced in Xiao Yu's mind again, and she could not help muttering.

That smooth, delicate skin seemed far better than even hers, despite all her careful maintenance!

After Xiao Yu left, Xiao Tianci first returned to his room and took out the Body Tempering Pills he had refined earlier, then hurried straight to the Mite'er Auction House!

After all, the pills had already been refined, and with debts hanging over him, Xiao Tianci always felt as though something were weighing on his heart.

Although Xiao Yu was not in a hurry for him to repay her, owing someone money for too long was never a good thing.

The Mite'er Auction House was the largest auction venue in Wutan City.

At the same time, it belonged to the wealthiest clan in the Jia Ma Empire: the Miteer Clan.

Throughout the Jia Ma Empire, when it came to wealth, the Miteer Clan was virtually unmatched.

The clan had a long history, having developed within the Jia Ma Empire for several centuries, with an intricate network of connections.

According to certain rumors, this fabulously wealthy clan even seemed to have some ties with the Jia Ma Empire's imperial family!

Within the empire, the Miteer Clan stood alongside the Nalan Clan and the Mu Family as the three great powers of the Jia Ma Empire.

These three great clans had their hands in nearly every aspect of the empire. Their influence was immense!

Thus, with such a powerful clan backing it, no force dared set its sights on the Mite'er Auction House, no matter how covetous its profits might be.

Several fully armed guards stood at the entrance to the auction house, vigilantly inspecting the surroundings.

Without slowing down, Xiao Tianci walked straight inside.

The entire auction house had been built with great splendor. Its resplendent hall was exceptionally spacious, and even with a great many people inside, it did not feel crowded in the slightest.

Since it was his first time here, Xiao Tianci swept his gaze across the vast hall.

Then his attention settled on one corner of the hall.

A remarkably beautiful woman stood there, exuding mature and alluring charm from head to toe.

Her figure beneath the red dress was breathtakingly voluptuous.

Such charm was far beyond what a girl who had only recently come of age could compare to.

"That enchantress," Xiao Tianci muttered.

This woman was naturally the Mite'er Auction House's chief auctioneer, Ya Fei!
