Chapter 6

  Simultaneously surprised, unexpected, unbelievable, and eager eyes all stared at Feng Qiniu. After a few seconds of silence, it suddenly erupted like a boiling pot, immediately becoming noisy and bustling:

  "What? You're Feng Qiuye?" One of the disciples immediately shouted in a shrill voice.

  Another disbelieving voice shouted: "Impossible! You're the Feng Qiuye who, with only two-star Xuan Shi strength, challenged and defeated Ye Wu's five-star Xuan Shi, Ye Fan?"

  Looking at the shocked expressions of the various pharmacists' disciples, the Phoenix Clan's disciples snorted disdainfully. What is a Five-Star Mystic Master? They can't even beat their own Mystic Masters, let alone a Mystic Master?

  But they're also too incompetent! The tenth sister defeated the five-star Xuan Shi and was shocked, but if they knew that the tenth sister had even defeated Fengjiu, who was a Xuan Shifu, they might be so shocked that their chin would drop off!

  But what they didn't expect was that as they continued speaking, it was they who were frightened.

  "Is it you, a mere waste of a person, who dares to claim that you want to annul the engagement with the First Family, the Long Family? The master of the Long Family is unwilling, and yet you are willing to kill your own fiancé, Long San Shao, you wicked woman Feng Qi Xie?" As soon as the young man in green finished speaking, a hissing sound erupted from all around.

  The young masters of the Feng family were even more shocked, and Feng Fei's face was tense.

  "But how is that possible?! It's said that Feng Qi was severely injured by the Dragon Family Master, a powerful Xuanwu expert, for trying to kill Long San Shao. How can you still be alive?" Another disciple of the Medicine House exclaimed in disbelief.

  What? Xuan Wang is strong? Injured?

  Feng Fei's face changed color! He didn't expect that during his absence, so many things had happened in the Feng clan. The master of the Long family had already reached the Xuan Wang realm and Xiao Er was even injured by him! Fortunately, Xiao Er is fine now, otherwise he...

  What Feng Qiyue didn't know was that after the admission ceremony that day, in Moselie City, she had already become a household name, surpassing any young master from several large families. Moreover, her behavior and actions were truly astonishing.

  And since she was injured and disappeared by the Dragon Family Master, a strong man of the Xuan Wang level, on that day, people from both the Dragon and Phoenix families have been searching for her frantically everywhere. Even if there were still people in Moselia City who didn't know about Feng Qiyue's evil deeds before, it would be very difficult for them not to know after this commotion!

  At this time, Feng Qiujian was shocked to hear these words, and her mouth twitched involuntarily. She never thought that her current reputation would be so loud, originally saying her own name just wanted to use her previous waste name to fool them, didn't expect it would bring such consequences, really...

  At this time, even Yao Xiang'er was looking at Feng Qiyue with a face full of surprise: "I didn't expect you to still be alive? Not dying from a full-force blow from an extremely powerful Xuanwang is simply a miracle."

  "Thanks for the compliment!" Feng Qiuye said calmly, without much expression.

  At this time, she suddenly lost the mood to play. All of these things were said by others, and Feng Qiuxia didn't feel honored, but instead felt deeply humiliated. Long Shaoyuan, she gnashed her teeth with hatred at the mention of his name. At that moment, her hatred for him intensified a few degrees more.

  "Who would have thought that a useless person like you would be so skilled in schemes? This move of yours, using the 'sacrificial lamb' tactic, is quite clever! You deliberately let the Dragon Family Master injure you, and then, due to guilt, he promised you the position of Dragon Three's rightful wife. Feng Qiye, it seems that this time you've really gotten what you wanted!" Thick sarcasm flowed from Yao Xiang'er's mouth, as all the Yao Family disciples looked at Feng Qiye with disdain, while the Phoenix Clan disciples' eyes turned red with anger.

  "Yao Xiang'er, what do you mean by this?" Feng Fei immediately got angry! He wouldn't allow anyone to speak of his sister like that. As for Yao Xiang'er's temperament, he knew it better than anyone else, and she would never resort to such tactics for personal gain.

  And that Long Yu Kai is not a good person either, in his eyes he's just a scumbag. With the current strength of the evil child, what qualifications does he have to make the evil child waste his energy?

  Yao Xiang'er suddenly raised an eyebrow, her eyes full of disdain: "What do you mean? Wouldn't it be better to ask your own sister? Are you saying that she used underhanded tactics and nobody is allowed to mention it? How ridiculous."

  "Xiang Er, watch your words. Just because you're from a pharmaceutical family doesn't mean you can do whatever you want. You dare to provoke me? Believe it or not, I'll wipe you out!"

  Wow! Feng Qiniu is smiling slyly, it turns out she really got her brother angry! He's also quite rough and overbearing, huh? Haha! She likes that.

  His barbaric attitude instantly enraged Yao Xiang'er! She frowned and said, "Feng Fei, don't think that just because you're the number one genius of the Feng clan, I'm afraid of you. If you really make me angry, I'll show you that I won't be bullied! Get out of here..."

  "You..." Feng Fei's temples bulged with blue veins, just about to grab this little scoundrel, but was instead held back by a pair of gentle hands. Turning around, he met her moist and shining eyes, and his wildly racing heart calmed down in an instant.

  "Brother! Let her say what she wants! As long as we're not ashamed of ourselves, why fear others' gossip? Let's go! We should head home." Having such a brother stand up for her made her suddenly feel a warmth in her cold heart, and many things didn't seem worth worrying about anymore.

  In her past life, she was betrayed by her own sister and her heart turned to ice. But in this reincarnation, the heavens gave her a brother who would do anything for her, and suddenly she felt complete!

  Perhaps this is heaven's pity on her misfortune, making up for it?

  So at this time, she really didn't want to see outsiders, just wanted to be with her own people.

  What a wonderful sentence! As long as she has no shame before heaven, why fear the slander of others? At that moment, everyone was shocked by her broad-mindedness!

  Is this perhaps the real her?

  Unrestrained and uninhibited, unafraid of worldly conventions, carefree and casual, perhaps that's her most authentic personality?

  For a moment, her uninhibited demeanor overshadowed many of the men present! And in the eyes of the Phoenix clan's young nobles, there was an added hint of reverence.

  Yes! As expected of the most authentic Phoenix bloodline of the Feng clan, their way of doing things is indeed different and worthy of admiration.

  Feng Fei looked at his own sister with a mixture of surprise and admiration, nodded slightly, and suddenly felt that he had been impulsive earlier! He lost his composure! Whatever others want to say, let them say it! As long as I know it's not like that, that's all that matters!

  At this moment, he pulled Feng Qi's hand and led the young masters of the Feng family away.

  Yes

  They don't want to bother with others, but it doesn't mean others will let them off easily.

  "Halt, who allowed you to leave! Hand over the Blood Ginseng, otherwise... from now on, our Medicine Family will no longer supply any medicine to your Feng Family!" Yao Xiang'er shouted angrily from behind, not believing that these people would not be anxious about such a consequence.

  Feng Fei wanted to turn back, but was pulled by Feng Qi Ye and his hand was pinched, indicating that he should not. These things are better left to her!

  For her, he was able to stand up for himself just now, and even scolded Yao Xiang'er, which was enough for her!

  As long as it was someone Feng Qiuzi had acknowledged, she would take over protecting him from then on.

  With a cold gaze, Feng Qi's eyes, which were originally moist and gentle, had turned icy. He spoke to Yao Xiang'er in a detached tone: "If you want the Blood Jades, go find the Man-Eating Vines yourself, kill them, and they're yours! But these in my hand are all earned by my Feng Clan brothers with their lives. What qualifications do you have to ask us to hand them over?"

  Jian Yao Xiang'er's eyes still gleamed with a fierce light, but Feng Qiuye sneered coldly: "Don't keep using the threat of withholding the Phoenix Family's Dan medicine as a bargaining chip. Use that rusty brain of yours to think it through - if my Phoenix Family can sit securely in the second position among the five great families, then we naturally have our own backing and safeguards. And just as you said, since I, Feng Qiuye, 'plotted and schemed' to climb up onto the Dragon Family's lofty branch, how could I not make good use of it? Even if your Medicine Family's power is formidable, can you afford to simultaneously become enemies with both the top-ranked Dragon Family and my Phoenix Family?"

  And even if the Medicine House really stops supplying the Feng House with medicine, what can be done about it? It's none of Feng Qi's business, let Feng Jue Tian handle it himself! If he can't even handle such a small matter, then he doesn't need to be the master of that house!

  Moreover, if the Medicine Family really wants to tear their faces apart and disregard the friendship between their families, would Feng Qiuxia still be afraid?

  And now she still has the Long family card to use, doesn't she? What is she going to do with the Ye family?

  "You... Feng Qiye, you're so shameless..." Yao Xiang'er was left speechless by her words and suddenly became furious.

  "Haha! Am I shameless?" Feng Qiuye suddenly threw his head back and laughed loudly, with an air of arrogance: "Yao Xiang'er, I'm not afraid to tell you that my actions have always been for the sake of achieving my goals, no matter what means I use. Even if it's despicable and shameless, so what? I've always only cared about the results, never minding the process. You should have heard that when I was in the Feng tribe, I killed Feng Xiang with a single sword strike to the throat just for a spot in the Feng Institute... didn't you see it? The moment I cut his throat..." Feng Qiuye's slender hand made a slashing motion at this point, and his voice became eerily sinister: "The hot blood spurted out all at once, dyeing the ground red. What a wonderful shade of red..."

  She had heard of this matter, and Yao Xiang'er was suddenly frightened by her. Feng Qiexia added another sentence: "I, Feng Qiexia, am not a first-time murderer, so you..."

  "You... you... you dare, I am a member of the Medicine Family..." This woman is really terrifying, like a devil from hell, and Yao Xiang'er's heart skips a beat for a moment.

  "Hah! You think I don't dare? I've even dared to provoke Long Shaoxuan, that old turtle egg. Let alone you, a mere yellow-haired brat? Don't think you're so special just because you're from the Pan family. If you cross me, believe it or not, I'll wipe out your entire family! There are countless families vying for third place in the rankings, and they'd be more than happy to see you fall. So don't even think about playing tricks or using underhanded tactics in front of me, because Feng Qixie is the ancestor of all schemers!"

  The vicissitudes of her past life have already made her see through all the means of the world. Playing tricks with her, they are still a bit tender and not even on the same level.

  Everyone heard this and had a cold sweat, although they all knew that the tenth sister was extraordinary nowadays, but she couldn't scold the master of the Long family like this in front of everyone from the Medicine family. If it reached his ears, then...

  Some people just don't care, after saying those shocking and outrageous words, they calmly patted their clothes: "Let's go!"

  All the younger sisters have said so! What else can they say, although they didn't get along for long, but they also know that Shixiong won't do anything without being sure, since she dares to do so, then she must have had a plan in her heart, everyone says they can't tell why they believe her like this, anyway, that's what they think.

  So all the young men of the Feng clan turned their steps and continued walking forward.

  Instead, it was Feng Fei's displeased frown: "Xie Er, I know you don't think that way, so why say such things?"

  He knew she had never thought of marrying into the Long family for power.

  "Hmph! I really think so, if the Medicine Family dares to be arrogant in front of me again, I'll destroy them first and then deal with the Dragon Family!" She wasn't joking, these five big families seemed kind on the surface, but deep down, each one wanted to trample the others underfoot and climb to the top themselves. Human nature is greedy, and she saw it very clearly.

  According to her analysis, this time Feng Fei was forced into the Man-Eating Vine area, it's likely that someone from those few big families is behind it.

  So she wouldn't be polite to them either.

  "Feng Fei stopped in his tracks, looking at Feng Qi with a serious expression and said: 'Qi, brother really doesn't want you to become someone who will do whatever it takes to achieve your goals. Brother doesn't care how strong you become, as long as you live a peaceful and happy life, that's all that matters, understand?'"

  A life of peace and happiness? How easy is it to talk about?

  In this dark forest of Hei Mu, troubles keep emerging, let alone when the time comes to leave and return to the Feng family. As for Long Shao Xuan, whether it's for face or other reasons, he won't let her off easily either. She can't even think of being calm, can she?

  Moreover, she didn't plan on being calm either. Feng Qi had never been one to suffer losses, and Long Shaoxuan's revenge for hurting her wouldn't be possible if she didn't retaliate.

  "Brother! In this world where the strong prey on the weak, what is peace? What is happiness? I used to hide in a small courtyard with my mother, never going out and causing trouble. But what was the result? Did those people let me off? The second mistress and Feng Nianjiao would often come to our door, looking for trouble with my mother. My mother was weak by nature, and she endured it all with tears in her eyes! Feng Mingcheng and Feng Xiang would often beat me up, and the old Feng Qiye could be said to have grown up under their fists and feet.

  Feng Qiye's eyes flashed with a hint of sadness as she thought back to her past experiences. She looked at Feng Fei: "But even so, they didn't plan to let me off. As a fellow disciple, I, Feng Qiye, wouldn't take the initiative to harm my own kind. But I still killed Feng Xiang. You said you believe I must have had my reasons, and yes! I did. It was on the day of the Phoenix Institute's selection test. Originally, it would have been justified if I were killed for being inferior, but Feng Xiang and his friends broke the clan rules, ganging up on me together. They brutally trampled me, and in the end, Feng Xiang... (paused, as if swallowing back a painful memory) ...hit me with a forbidden move and sent me here."

  Feng Qi's evil finger pointed at his own heart position, suddenly shocking everyone, their hearts all trembling.

  It's really hard to imagine, a little girl being beaten and humiliated by a group of people since she was young, no wonder she has become so perverse and arrogant now, it turns out that it was all forced out by others!

  In fact, Feng Qiuye's words today were not simply to vent her grievances; she had never been one to do things so simply.

  After what happened with Yao Xiang Er, she suddenly realized that if a person doesn't have their own power, they often only have the fate of being bullied by others.

  Moreover, the Black Wood Ancient Forest itself is facing a predicament. With the current strength of the Phoenix Clan, they cannot compete with the Dragon Family. If Long Shaoyuan insists on having me marry his son, the Phoenix Clan will not be able to refuse.

  And she has never believed in fate, her life will not be controlled by anyone, so for the freedom of the future, it seems that she needs to plan and strengthen her own power!

  The disciples of Fengyuan are undoubtedly the main force of the new generation of the Phoenix clan, and in her eyes, each and every one of them is a talent. Even Fengjiu, that child, although hot-tempered, is deeply affectionate and righteous towards Feng Fei, and at such a young age has already cultivated to become a One-Star Xuan Master, surpassing even Feng Mingcheng by several degrees, so she has high hopes for them.

  She thought of Feng Qi's past as the president of the Feng Corporation, and his ability to recognize and utilize people was quite impressive. Now that she had such a great opportunity in front of her, how could she possibly let it slip away?

  Of course, this is the first step in winning people's hearts, and that is to break down their defenses! Showing weakness to others is undoubtedly the most effective way to lower their guard.

  "Xie er......" Feng Fei's voice was a little hoarse, at this time he didn't know what to say anymore. As for Xie er's experience, before entering the Feng courtyard, he often saw her and would lend a helping hand every time they met, but when he wasn't around, what kind of hardships did she endure?

  Before he was around, Feng Mingcheng and others were slightly restrained. After he entered the Phoenix Institute, they couldn't leave privately to return to the Feng family. So in these three years, their bullying of Xia'er has probably become even more severe?

  At Feng Fei's worried and heart-pained gaze, Feng Qiujue suddenly smiled at him, but that smile turned into a bitter one in the eyes of the crowd.

  "Hehe! Brother, don't worry about me, I'm fine now! To be honest, if it weren't for Fengxiang's one knife, I wouldn't have made it to today."

  Everyone is puzzled, isn't this little girl talking nonsense due to overstimulation? Tell me, in this world, who else would be grateful for someone stabbing them in the back?

  "Feng Qiuxia didn't care about their puzzled expressions and the gaze that looked like they were examining a patient, and continued to say: 'At that time, Feng Xiang's knife happened to be drawn at a position slightly off from my heart, I didn't die immediately but instead fainted. Only when I woke up again did I suddenly discover that my original trash body had changed for some reason! Even my blood had become very strange. So at that time, I vowed that Feng Qiuxia would no longer be the pushover he used to be! Therefore, I must become stronger, and continuously become stronger, because in this world where the strong are respected, only by becoming stronger can one avoid being trampled on!"

  Feng Fei clenched his fist secretly, and what Xie Er said wasn't wrong either. Hadn't he been desperately trying to get stronger all along?

  "Brother, sometimes it's not that easy to be calm just because we want to. The Long family is like this, the Yao family is like this. If we don't have the power, we will always be trampled under their feet. Do you brothers want to be trampled by them all your lives?"

  No way! Of course not! Who would want to be trampled on by others all the time?!

  Everyone nodded in unison, and at the same time, a strong heart spread instantly in everyone's heart.

  As the crowd's hearts stirred, Feng Qiujian gazed at them with an extremely serious expression, his sharp and knife-like gaze sweeping across their young faces. Suddenly, he added fuel to the fire: "So, since you want to be my brothers, I'll say something ugly from the start. From this moment on, the Feng clan doesn't need cowards or weaklings. If you want to be my brother, you must not fear death and have an aura that looks down on the world. My life is destined for greatness, and I will never live under others. If you're willing to follow me on this path, then from now on, you'll all be my brothers. We'll go through thick and thin together, and with me, you'll always have a place. However, if you're not willing, speak up now and leave. My life can tolerate anything, but I absolutely cannot tolerate betrayal. Did you hear that clearly? Now, let's make a clean break!"

  In that instant, her entire body exuded an aura of dominance, an imperial presence sweeping across the crowd, wildly overbearing and enchanting, as if she was destined to rule supreme.

  The crowd was moved by her, and suddenly the atmosphere became enthusiastic, and they shouted in unison: "We are willing!"

  She was destined for greatness, they firmly believed that the person who possessed the purest and most precious phoenix bloodline of their Feng clan would never be ordinary. Perhaps the miracle of a thousand years ago would happen to her, so they were willing to follow her on the same path and strive to stand at the top of the world together.

  Feng Qi looked at the reactions of the Feng tribe's young people with great satisfaction, Ah! Hot-blooded youth! It's just easy to stir up their emotions. She raised her eyes to the sky: Lord, forgive me! In order for her own life not to be controlled by others, she had to establish her own power. Since she had decided to protect the Feng tribe, the young people of the Feng tribe must stand with her on the same front line. She didn't like being stabbed in the back by others.

  Long Shaoxuan, right? Wanting to force marriage, dream on! Let's see who will have the last laugh in the end.

  "Alright! From now on, Feng Qiujie makes an oath here: among the ten siblings, we will share good fortune and face difficulties together. As long as you do not abandon me first, I, Feng Qiujie, will never abandon any of you. If I break this oath, may I not die a peaceful death, be eternally cast into the Avici Hell, and forever lose my chance at reincarnation."

  As soon as she spoke, a drop of fresh blood burst out, and suddenly the heavenly rules appeared under her feet.

  She actually used the blood oath that no one dared to use lightly, and everyone's heart was stirred! At this moment, she didn't hesitate at all, cut open her finger, squeezed out fresh blood, and the oath in her mouth also came out: "From now on, we ten siblings will share good fortune together, share difficulties together, never betray each other. If anyone breaks this oath, may they not die a peaceful death, be cast into the Avici Hell for eternity, and never be reincarnated."

  Another flash of heavenly rules appeared, meaning that the oath between the two parties was established and could not be violated, otherwise the heavenly rules would punish them.

  At the same time, everyone's gaze towards Feng Qijue also changed.

  If it was only because of Feng Fei's relationship and family ties before, now with the existence of this blood oath, their hearts are closely tied together, and imperceptibly, people's hearts have also become different.

  And Feng Qi's actions were intended to achieve this effect.

  Huozui stood behind her, watching all this happen, and couldn't help but be shocked again by the woman's means! He wasn't as simple-minded as others, thinking that the woman did things without a purpose, but her ability to stir up people's hearts was indeed admirable.

  "Ah! Older brother! What brings you to the Blackwood Forest this time? Does the mentor of the Fengyuan know about it?" If they knew, why would they let them come alone, without even a senior instructor, and dare to enter the Blackwood Forest, don't they know how dangerous it is?

  She has always wanted to ask, but never had the chance, so it's been delayed until now.

  Everyone's face flashed a trace of unnaturalness, Fengjiu sighed deeply: "Yes, we are secretly coming to Hei Mu Gu Lin to find the evil fire, but as soon as we entered, we found that those who were looking for the evil fire were not just us. Moreover, this Hei Mu Gu Lin is full of murderous intent everywhere, and someone wants to frame us. It seems that this trip is in vain!"

  "Evil fire? What's going on?"

  It is said that over a thousand years ago, three great emperors appeared in this space-time, namely the Evil Emperor, the Demon Emperor, and the Mysterious Emperor. Each occupied one side, opening up the Evil Domain, the Demon Realm, and the Mysterious Heaven, forming a tripod-shaped balance of power, with no one yielding to another. However, one day, the Great Evil-Demon War suddenly broke out, and the Evil Emperor and the Demon Emperor perished together. The Evil Emperor's true flame, the Evil Fire, escaped to the Mysterious Heaven, which is now the Mysterious Energy Continent. It is said that it landed in this Black Wood Ancient Forest, so many strong individuals have entered this forest seeking it, because legend has it that whoever obtains the Evil Emperor's true flame, the Evil Fire, will gain a mysterious power. And we, too, want to try our luck.

  The Evil Emperor's innate flame - evil fire?

  Feng Qi's evil heart stirred, he was currently refining pills and brewing medicine, the only thing lacking was fire, if he could possess the Evil Emperor's innate flame... Heh heh! The pills he refined would definitely be upgraded by a grade!

  "Shall we go and take a look? Do you know which direction it is?" Feng Qiexia asked excitedly, since she knew that the Black Wood Ancient Forest had treasures, they were hers!

  Feng Fei and others hesitated: "Those are just legends, don't take them as true, do you really think there is evil fire in this Black Wood Ancient Forest?"

  Phoenix Seven suddenly came up with energy: "As the saying goes, 'no wind comes from an empty hole', everything has a reason, anyway, since we're all here, let's go find the previous one! Who knows, maybe our luck will change and we'll find it in no time! Let's go, to the place you guys previously decided on, let's go now!"

  Feng Fei and others had no choice but to follow along.

  After all that happened in the Black Wood Forest, they didn't have as much confidence as when they came. However, since Shi Mei wanted to find something, they would accompany her together!

  Just as they were about to leave, a figure suddenly appeared in front of them and blocked their way.

  "Hmph! You think you can leave that easily?" The figure in front of me flashed by, and that elegant silhouette appeared before my eyes once again.

  Feng Qiuyi didn't bat an eyelid, "Is this medicinal fragrance going to finish or not?" The yin energy was indeed hard to disperse. She coldly swept a glance at her, and then they continued walking forward without stopping.

  However, Yao Xiang'er saw her completely ignoring herself again and turning to leave with a group of people without giving her any face. The young lady who had always been pampered had never suffered such humiliation before, so she was furious and humiliated at the moment. With a wave of her hand, the people on her side suddenly flashed and surrounded everyone.

  At the same time, she swiftly drew out her long sword and stabbed it into Feng Qi's back.

  This annoying woman is asking for trouble herself, no wonder she's like that.

  Feng Qiuxia listened to the sound and judged the shape, but she didn't turn her head back, and at the same time, she was also making a probe.

  As expected...

  Just as Yao Xiang'er's long sword was about to pierce Feng Qiniang's back, a light "ting" sound was heard, and the long sword was suddenly clamped by someone, unable to move forward even an inch.

  Yao Xiang'er's eyes flashed with anger, but her gaze was so deeply shocked that she couldn't move an inch.

  Good heavens! What a demonic face that is!

  Since she was young, she had seen countless handsome men, but never one as stunningly beautiful and extraordinary as him.

  For a moment, she was stunned, only to see the man's handsome face as if he were a god, with a hint of magic, so beautiful that it almost took her breath away. For the first time in her life, Yao Xiang'er lost her composure! She stared at Huo Zui, her eyes rolling uncontrollably, and she swallowed hard with difficulty.

  "Flower idiot!"

  Huozui's face suddenly twisted in disgust, his two fingers moved, and then only a crisp "pa" sound was heard. Yaoxiang'er's long sword in her hand broke with a loud noise, and her body was kicked out by someone. Before she could react, Huozui had already swung his sleeve, and the broken sword tip suddenly emitted an astonishing killing intent, flying straight towards Yaoxiang'er's face, stabbing directly at her throat.

  He's gone too far this time!

  Everyone was shocked and did not expect this beautiful young man to be so ruthless.

  The pharmacists were even more shocked, and with their strength, under the extremely powerful killing move of Huo Zui, how could they rescue someone from his hands.

  At this moment, they could only watch as the broken sword tip pierced towards Yao Xiang's throat, and the beauty was about to lose her life, while they were powerless to do anything.

  However, just as everyone thought that Yao Xiang'er was doomed to die, a strong and powerful aura suddenly appeared, blocking the broken sword tip. With a "whooshing" sound, it unexpectedly rebounded back, striking Huo Zui.

  He was momentarily stunned, and with a wave of his hand, he brushed the broken sword tip that had bounced back to another place. At this moment, the broken sword flew diagonally and shot straight into a giant tree not far away that two people could barely hug. Suddenly, only a "bang" sound was heard, the broken sword tip pierced straight into the big tree, and at the same time, with a loud "rumbling" sound, the giant tree that two people could barely hug actually broke off with a loud noise, crashing to the ground, splashing countless dust.

  As the dust settled, a white-haired old man in a green robe appeared before Yao Xiang'er. His face was covered with deep wrinkles, and his eyes seemed to be narrowed under the folds of skin. However, within those seemingly bottomless eyes, there was a hint of warmth and kindness, yet his words carried another layer of meaning. His sharp gaze kept sizing up Huo Zui.

  "You're still young, why be so ruthless?"

  Huozui didn't say a word, staring straight at the other party, only with a few more ominous glints in his narrow and long phoenix eyes. Following that, he raised his sleeve and waved it, and a strange blood-red light flashed, the surrounding wind suddenly rose, blowing his black hair flying, his aura was like a demon, the people around him were shocked, the old man in green clothes didn't dare to slow down, hurriedly mobilized all his spiritual energy to counterattack.

  Boom!

  In an instant, everyone felt a shock in the air, and some of those with slightly weaker powers were directly blown away. Looking back at the two people on the scene, Huo Zui was still standing tall, his clothes fluttering, while the old man in green had been forced to retreat a big step, his face full of horror, clearly not having expected that this young boy's power would be so high, it was simply shocking.

  "Drunk, are you okay?"

  Feng Qi didn't care about the old man, but instead worried about Huo Zui. He hastily went forward and examined him from head to toe, relieved that he was unharmed. With a helpless sigh, he said: "Huo Zui, don't you know she's a woman?"

  "I know!" he said coldly.

  "Who knew you'd be so heavy-handed?" This guy, does he have any tender loving care for the beauty? To actually "kick" such a lovely girl, it's really...

  "Men and women are the same."

  Yes! In his life, there were only two kinds of people: those who would be killed and those who wouldn't. Words like "don't kill women" didn't work on him; if he didn't like the look of someone, he'd kill them!

  Phoenix Seven Evil!

  Yes! She almost forgot! This kid has never had the awareness of not killing women, and when he first met her, wasn't it because he disliked her and wanted to kill her quickly?

  If it weren't for her quick wit, she would have been checkmated by him several times over. And he, from initially trying to crush her, has now become protective of her - a truly dramatic turn of events that leaves one speechless.

  But what's with this little emotional stir in her heart? She hastily brushed it off, for she had been moved once before in her past life as Feng Qi Qi, and the outcome was so miserable. In this life, she vowed never to get involved with love again.

  "I said, next time be gentler with women, you should have a gentleman's demeanor, do you know that?" Feng Qi's words were originally well-intentioned and sincere, but somehow they sounded completely different later on.

  "Although you're not a gentleman, at least you're a man. In front of so many people, it's better not to hit women, that would damage your image, don't you know? Although you can't be a real gentleman, at least being a fake one is also good!"

  Feng Qi's incessant chatter made everyone sweat, originally thinking that the demon boy would get angry, but to everyone's surprise, he nodded solemnly and said calmly: "That's also true... From now on, I won't hit women in front of others!"

  He would have killed her directly, and just now he should have kicked that annoying woman to death, so she wouldn't say such unpleasant words to insult him.

  Everyone is shocked! So that's to say, when there's no one else around, he still hits women? The crowd collectively wipes their sweat, and all they can think is that these two together will bring chaos to the world!

  But what's even more unexpected is yet to come!

  Only to see that after being helped up, Yao Xiang'er didn't show any hatred towards Huo Zui who wanted to kill her. Instead, her eyes sparkled as if she was about to shoot out red stars! She walked calmly to a spot not far from Huo Zui and stopped, then curtsied elegantly: "Yao Xiang'er greets you, sir. May I ask your noble surname?"

  What's this singing about again?

  Everyone was stunned again, and Feng Qiuye was also stunned! Immediately after, her eyes lightly turned, looking at the gaze of Yao Xiang'er towards Huo Zui, she suddenly understood!

  This little guy, indeed a rogue, previously disheveled and his face hidden by whiskers, now transformed with a new look, wearing a red robe fluttering about, really has the capital to entice women!

  If he goes out in this getup, I'm afraid even if he's going to steal wine, those men won't be able to bring themselves to hit him! Hehe!

  Huozui furrowed his brow and didn't respond to Yaoxiang'er's words, not even bothering to glance at her. He simply stared at Feng Qiujie and said, "Let's go!"

  Feng Qiuxia smiled lightly and gave Yao Xiang'er a sympathetic glance, saying: "You say you can't find anyone else to like, but you have to like someone who dislikes women. Isn't that asking for trouble?"

  Ya Xiang'er saw Huo Zui completely disregarding her, a young lady from the Medicine House, and instead listened to that useless thing from the Feng House. It's truly detestable!

  When the next plan didn't work, she came up with another one. She turned around and urgently said to the old man in green clothes: "Uncle Qing, they have the Blood Lingzhi in their hands! Grandfather was just short of this ingredient for Dusty's medicine! So we absolutely can't let them leave!"

  That old man in green clothes was the elder of the Medicine Family, named Medicine Qing. He came this time because of the sudden abnormal movement in the Black Wood Ancient Forest last night, which attracted him here. From their alchemist's point of view, it was absolutely a response caused by alchemy, but they didn't know who would be practicing alchemy in the Black Wood Ancient Forest. Moreover, at first glance, they could tell that the alchemist was not ordinary, so as an alchemist family, they naturally wanted to take a look!

  Just thinking of Nu Xiang'er coming here too, and still for the sake of Xue Er seeking revenge.

  Yaodun, the young man known for his genius in Yaoshi, had an astonishing talent for alchemy and was already a third-grade alchemist at such a young age. However, due to severe injuries he suffered as a child, his body remained weak. Just the other day, he went to the Feng family's entrance ceremony and ended up getting beaten up when he returned, but when asked who did it, he refused to say, which really gets one worried!

  Now, listening to Xiang Er say that they have the Blood Sack in their hands, of course, they won't let it go easily! Because wanting to snatch the Blood Sack from among many Man-Eating Vines is by no means easy!

  At this moment, Yao Qing cupped his fists in a salute, with the demeanor of an elder: "Since Miss has the Blood Oath, I wonder if you could lend it to me?"
