Being Stubborn Is Useless, You Need a Big Mouth

"Spirit Realm soul, it's actually a Spirit Realm soul!"

Han Feng's pupils dilated. In order to obtain the Flame Mantra, he had colluded with the Hall of Souls, murdered his teacher Yao Chen, and fled in a panic to the Black-Corner Region.

These past years he had suffered day and night, living in constant fear and worry. As the proud disciple of Venerable Yao, the undisputed number one alchemist of the Central Plains, he had been forced to fraternize with such low-level trash in the Black-Corner Region.

For so many years, not only had his alchemy failed to show the slightest improvement, but his Dou Qi had also remained stubbornly stuck at the Dou Huang level.

The old man has been dead for so many years, Feng Xian, are you still suspecting me? An ethereal figure surfaced in Han Feng's mind.

Aside from Venerable Feng investigating the cause of Yao Chen's death, a certain heavyweight within the Pill Tower was also utilizing the Pill Tower's resources to secretly track down Yao Chen's whereabouts.

Every single night, Han Feng would wake up screaming from nightmares. In those dreams, his teacher's group of confidantes and old friends would flay him alive, strip his tendons, and grind his bones to dust.

If I could get my hands on that woman from just now, perhaps the inner demons that have plagued me for years could be resolved, and my soul power could leverage that to break through to the Spirit Realm! Han Feng licked his lips, a flash of ferocity contorting his pale face.

So what even if she was the Heavenly Mansion Alliance Lord's woman?

She was merely a Dou Zong.

What about Yao Chen? Didn't that old Peak Dou Zun end up dead just the same?

"Eat slower."

"Don't rush, it's all for you!"

Fan Tian looked at Dan Chen, who was retching continuously beneath him, a surge of tender pity welling up in his heart.

Dan Chen suddenly pulled Fan Tian's hand, placing it against the back of her head, seemingly mimicking the movements Fan Tian and Cao Ying had just shared.

Clearly, she wanted the exact same treatment.

Otherwise, she would curse them as a couple of shameless dogs.

Dan Chen muttered under her breath, saying something incomprehensible.

She seemed to be urging Fan Tian to use more force.

"You girl, I really have to hand it to you!"

Fan Tian smiled helplessly, and could only control Dan Chen's small head, guiding it toward himself and applying a tiny bit of force.

"Mm!"

"Hn!"

The full mounds on her chest were finally free from confinement, bouncing and trembling with Dan Chen's back-and-forth motion, kicking up waves of ripples.

"Hmph, if you can't swallow it, don't force yourself!" Cao Ying had been kicked to the ground by Dan Chen a moment ago. She simply propped her chin in her right hand, lying sideways on the floor in an intensely alluring posture, while her left hand wiped away the crystal drop lingering at the corner of her lips before sucking on her delicate finger.

"Get lost, you demoness, mind your own business!"

Dan Chen turned her head aside, her anger flaring up as she shot Cao Ying a furious glare, and then once more opened her cherry-like lips, half-closing her eyes to savagely taste it.

"Blech!"

Barely ten seconds later, Dan Chen whipped her head away again, retching incessantly, which instantly wrung Fan Tian's heart with heartache.

"Hehe, some things look simple when you watch others do them, but the moment you try it yourself, your true colors show."

"Relying solely on stubbornness is useless."

"You need a big mouth!"

Watching Dan Chen's wretched state, Cao Ying couldn't help but bloom with joy, and she began a ceaseless stream of mockery.

She lifted her snowy chin slightly, instinctively pressing her thighs together. Her hazy gaze formed a perfect match for that soul-stirring expression.

Before long, finding that merely mocking with words wasn't quite satisfying enough, and looking at Dan Chen's thoroughly defiant expression, Cao Ying curled the corner of her lips and provocatively stuck out her nimble tip of a tongue.

After spinning it around in the air a few times, she crossed the empty space and licked her lips up and down, as though she were savoring the absolute finest delicacy in the entire Dou Qi Continent.

"You damned woman!"

"Vixen!"

"Shameless!"

"Impudent!"

Dan Chen was already feeling somewhat frustrated, and after being hit by Cao Ying's verbal mockery and bodily provocation, she-having never suffered such grievances before-let out a wail and burst into tears.

Yet the sadder she cried, the sweeter Cao Ying smiled beside her.

And the sweeter Cao Ying smiled, the sadder Dan Chen cried.

"Alright, alright, stop crying, you were already amazing!" Helpless, Fan Tian scooped Dan Chen into his embrace.

"Really?"

"Really!"

"Then... are you... satisfied?"

"I..."

The air fell silent for an instant.

Fan Tian froze, momentarily at a loss for how to reply.

"Waaaaah..."

Seeing Fan Tian hesitate, Dan Chen lost control of her emotions once more, breaking down into a howling cry in his arms.

"Satisfied, satisfied, I'm already extremely satisfied! Our Chenchen is the most outstanding!"

"You're lying, you're tricking me, I don't want your pity!"

Fan Tian felt his head spin with a massive headache.

His big head ached, and his little head ached too.

Central Plains.

Inside a certain secluded spatial barrier.

"Sigh, I wonder how those two lasses are doing!" Xuan Kongzi said with his hands clasped behind his back, a look of worry on his face.

Xuan Yi sat to one side, her long, slender, snow-white legs crossed over one another, while her tight-fitting martial robes perfectly showcased her voluptuous and alluring figure.

"What is there to fear? Both of them possess Spirit Realm souls. The Black-Corner Region isn't like the Central Plains; they won't suffer any losses. We should instead worry about the Three Thousand Burning Flame breaking free soon."

Hearing this, Xuan Kongzi nodded.

"Indeed, the Three Thousand Burning Flame is the priority. I just hope those two can learn a bit more while outside and hone their skills!"

"Azure Nether Longevity Pill, a Sixth-Grade Pill capable of increasing a person's lifespan by nearly ten years!" Stroking his beard, the white-haired elder spoke with flying spittle upon the auction stage.

"One can only consume a single pill in a lifetime!"

"Starting bid: three million gold coins!"

After auctioning off several batches of Fifth-grade Pills, the Heavenly Mansion auction directly brought out the Azure Nether Longevity Pill, a Sixth-Grade Pill that could almost rival the Emperor's Extreme Pill.

The entire venue erupted in an uproar.

For so many years in the Black-Corner Region, there had never been an auction of such high quality as today's; as long as one had the capital, one could acquire the corresponding medicinal pills.

"Three million one hundred thousand!"

"Three million two hundred thousand!"

"Three million eight hundred thousand!"

The moment the Azure Nether Longevity Pill emerged, Blood Sect Fan Lao's eyes went straight. The cultivation technique he practiced was somewhat special, and he was in dire need of pills that could extend one's lifespan. Therefore, biting the bullet, he directly bid three million eight hundred thousand gold coins!

Everyone in the venue cast their gazes upon Fan Lao. The fame of this Blood Sect master was thunderously loud within the Black-Corner Region; he walked very closely with Han Feng and the Gold and Silver Elders, acting with total lack of restraint.

For a moment, the crowd collectively stopped bidding. After all, fine though pills might be, not everyone was facing the exhaustion of their lifespan; if one were to be targeted by this blood-sucking bat because of it, it simply wouldn't be worth the price.

Beaming with smiles, Fan Lao swept his gaze across the crowd in the venue, rubbed his hands together, and shouted, "Since no one else is bidding, this Azure Nether Longevity Pill belongs to this sect master."

The moment his voice fell, a charming, bone-melting giggle rang out: "Sect Master Fan is certainly generous, but we of the Heavenly Snake Mansion are also quite interested in this Azure Nether Longevity Pill, so I'm truly sorry-three million nine hundred thousand..."

Hearing this bewitching voice, Fan Lao's pale face couldn't help but shift slightly. His gaze narrowed as he looked toward another section of the auction floor. There, several women with fiery figures and gorgeous faces were curled up inside furry chairs, their supple waists as alluringly flexible as water snakes.

"Hehe, so it turns out to be Elder Qing of the Heavenly Snake Mansion. I didn't expect that you all would actually attend this auction in the Black-Corner Region." Fan Lao said coldly.

"It's rumored that a Seventh-Grade Pill is up for auction, how could our Heavenly Snake Mansion possibly miss it!"

The alluring woman addressed as Elder Qing said with a smiling, teasing tone, causing more than a few men in the auction hall to feel a surge of wicked fire darting through their hearts.

If one were to pin this snake-like, supple body beneath oneself, what kind of madness would the soft, plaintive moans spilling from those crimson lips drive a person to?
