Rewarding the Mittel Family, the Two Sisters Awaken

"Father, I'll leave the rest to you. Choose twenty-five trustworthy clan members who've reached Da Dou Shi." Xiao Yan spoke to Xiao Zhan with solemn resolve.

Xiao Zhan committed every word to memory, then hurried off to draw up a list.

With that settled, Xiao Yan vanished in a blur. The next moment, he appeared at the Mittel Auction House.

Today, Ya Fei wore a well-tailored red qipao that made her look more radiant than ever. Her bearing and beauty had changed considerably since before, and a new ease and confidence showed in her every movement.

A quick check told Xiao Yan that her aura was much stronger than when he had last seen her. She was now a Six-Star Dou Zhe.

As if sensing him, Ya Fei looked up and spotted Xiao Yan at the entrance. Her face lit up. Setting aside her work, she walked over with a graceful sway of her hips. "Xiao Yan, did you... just come out of seclusion?"

Xiao Yan nodded, then openly looked her up and down. "Sister Ya Fei, you keep getting more beautiful."

Ya Fei covered her mouth with a soft laugh, undisguised pride glinting in her eyes. "I have that pill you gave me to thank."

As she spoke, she lifted his chin with a finger, her voice soft and alluring. "You little rascal... how should I repay you?"

Xiao Yan coughed twice, his expression unchanged. "Ahem. We can talk about repayment another time. I'm here on serious business today."

Ya Fei set aside her teasing and listened attentively.

Xiao Yan briefly explained the Life Devouring Pill's effects and what he had planned.

Of the fifty Life Devouring Pills, four had been used, leaving forty-six.

He intended to reserve one for Xiao Yi Xian and give twenty-five to Xiao Zhan
