This little fellow in front of her seemed to be growing up at a speed she couldn't keep up with. The faint, warm breath of the youth blew in her face, making Ya Fei's face even more rosy. Her beautiful eyes glanced lightly at Xiao Yan, yet she couldn't muster any anger.
"Every time I see you, I get teased by you, little fellow."
Looking at the youth's fervent yet not overly greedy, still clear and bright eyes, Ya Fei forcefully suppressed the throbbing in her heart.
She took a deep breath, and only after her chest was pressed by a soft spot did she exhale this long breath.
"Speak, you little pervert, what kind of reward do you want? I can't give you anything too excessive."
"Hehe, I, Xiao Yan, am not one of those guys dominated by their lower body, but I'm not some pure gentleman either."
Looking at Ya Fei's beautiful appearance, like a peach blossom, Xiao Yan was far calmer than Ya Fei. He gently patted his own cheek, and then, before Ya Fei could react, he proactively moved closer to her.
"You fellow!"
Seeing Xiao Yan being so bold, Ya Fei's beautiful eyes showed a hint of shyness and annoyance.
But thinking about how much he had helped her these past few days, especially when she remembered that pair of clear eyes, as if bewitched, she extended her lips, as delicate and alluring as a rose, and gently pecked Xiao Yan on the cheek.
"Hey, haven't you eaten?"
Just when she thought she was off the hook, she heard Xiao Yan's dissatisfied murmur.
"You little rascal, not learning good things at such a young age, but you've learned the tricks of those old perverts one after another."
As if possessed, Ya Fei even ignored Xiao Yan's strength from just a moment ago. Indignantly, she stretched out her slender jade-like fingers to pinch Xiao Yan's ear. Her pretty face was crimson as she rolled her eyes at him fiercely, which for a moment, made her even more charming.
Being treated like this by Ya Fei, Xiao Yan wasn't angry either. He chuckled, took her slender jade hand from his ear, and surreptitiously stroked her palm, thus temporarily ending the playful banter.
Xiao Yan walked up to the fallen burly man, reached out, and slapped him across the face. Then, under Ya Fei's slightly astonished gaze, the burly man's whole body trembled. A moment later, amidst pain, he opened his eyes with a dazed look.
However, after seeing the smiling youthful face in front of him, a look of fear suddenly appeared on the burly man's face. His body trembled slightly as he looked at Xiao Yan, his voice even more trembling with fear.
"Si-sir, spare my life, sir, spare my life!"
Looking with terror at the youth's gentle face, the burly man's heart was filled with fear.
Others might think that Xiao Yan was able to silently take down a Dou Shi because he was relying on the methods of some powerful expert behind him. But only this burly Dou Shi, who had experienced it firsthand, knew what he had just faced.
Just by being glanced at by Xiao Yan, he felt his soul as if pierced by a long spear. That terrifying pain far surpassed the suffering of any physical injury.
It was precisely because of this that he had fainted directly from the pain.
He was almost certain that the terrifying attack that could cause instant, fainting pain came from the youth in front of him, whose small face still carried a hint of childishness.
For such a terrifying method to be used by such a young, even childlike youth, was truly bizarre.
"I won't kill you."
His gaze swept over the burly man's panicked face, and Xiao Yan gently shook his head.
He was not a murderous person. If it wasn't necessary, he indeed wanted to use some gentler methods to solve problems.
Of course, the premise of all this was that the other party did not pose a threat to him and did not make him feel too disgusted. Otherwise, Xiao Yan was not a benevolent person either. To be able to go from a humble beginning to the peak of the Dou Qi Continent and even the Great Thousand World in his previous life, what he relied on was naturally not some compassionate heart.
It was a reputation of iron and blood built up through battle after battle, slaughter after slaughter.
"Take your master away, and by the way, tell those fools in the Miteer family that if they want to make enemies with a group of high-level alchemists, then they should be bold and send people to Wutan City. Also, for the business here in Wutan City, I only recognize Ya Fei. If it's someone else, then there's no need for cooperation."
Xiao Yan's second sentence was plain and relaxed, but it made both Ya Fei and the burly Dou Shi beside him stiffen to different degrees.
"You, you are that genius of the Xiao family in Wutan City, Xiao Yan!"
Looking at the youth's delicate and tender face, this burly man finally understood what kind of person Lei Le had offended.
Since the beginning of this year, the reputation of Xiao Yan of Wutan City had long since spread beyond Wutan City, continuously propagating throughout the Jia Ma Empire, and finally reaching the Jia Ma Imperial Capital.
Becoming a Dou Zhe at eleven had already spread Xiao Yan's name to the ears of many great families, making many people marvel and look forward to the Jia Ma Empire producing another Dou Huang expert.
But becoming an alchemist at twelve directly shook the entire Jia Ma Empire. After all, even with the Jia Ma Empire's long history, it was still difficult to find a twelve-year-old alchemist in the long river of history.
Such talent had far surpassed that of Pill King Gu He.
In addition, the Foundation Establishment Spiritual Liquid had also caused quite a stir in the imperial capital some time ago. After all, in this Jia Ma Empire, medicinal pills that could promote cultivation in the Dou Qi stage were too rare.
And behind this, there was also the figure of Xiao Yan. Many people were even secretly guessing whether there was an alchemist even more powerful than Gu He standing behind this Xiao Yan.
It was this very youth in front of them. Although he had not yet left Wutan City, his name had already spread silently throughout the entire Jia Ma Empire.
"Yes, sir, I will definitely deliver your message!"
Compared to the Xiao Yan in everyone's ears, this burly Dou Shi had seen the real Xiao Yan with his own eyes, and was even more horrified by the other party's terrifying methods. The reverence in his heart for Xiao Yan had already risen to an extremely terrifying level.
As he spoke, he had already frantically grabbed the unconscious Lei Le beside him, pushed open the door in a very sorry state, and then scurried outside.
Looking at the departing back of the burly man and the Lei Le in his hands, a trace of coldness flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes.
A guy like Lei Le was probably not much cleaner than Liu Xi. If it weren't for not wanting to expose too many of his trump cards now, and not wanting to bring too much trouble to Ya Fei, this guy would probably have become a pile of ashes today.
However, not getting rid of him now didn't mean Xiao Yan would let him go. After all, this kind of person was quite disgusting to Xiao Yan.
After he gets Hai Bodong back in the future, Xiao Yan wouldn't need to act himself against this Lei Le.
Just as he was about to bid farewell to Ya Fei, Xiao Yan turned his head, only to see her pair of beautiful eyes staring intently at him, as if some special light was flashing.
"What are you looking at? Haven't you seen a man as handsome as this young master?"
With a turn of his thoughts, a roguish, wicked smile appeared on Xiao Yan's lips. He saw Ya Fei actually purse her red lips and nod with a smile.
"I find that you are indeed very handsome today."
