Gur gur gur.

Within the silent store, only the sound of liquor being poured into a cup could be heard. Then the distinct sound of someone drinking down the cup of wine in one go and the liquor being swallowed.

Xiao Yue lightly breathed out as he finally finished the jar of Ice Heart Jade Urn Wine by himself. He acknowledged the fact that the wine was of the highest quality and was far more delicious than the Bejewelled Nectar Wine.

”Owner Bu, I am leaving. I will reserve a jar of Ice Heart Jade Urn Wine for tomorrow as well,” Xiao Yue said to Bu Fang as he placed fifteen crystals onto the table. Then with a gentle smile, he put on his bamboo hat and slinged the sword wrapped in a rag behind his back.

”Hmm, alright,” Bu Fang nodded.

”Xiao Yue! Are you just going to leave like this?!” Xiao Yanyu's voice rang out. It was no longer like the song of birds, but a slight mixture of anger and killing intent.

Xiao Yue’s figure, who had already reached the entrance, paused for a moment and turned around. His handsome face was concealed by the black veil of the bamboo hat and could not be seen clearly.

”What about it? Do you think you can make me stay?” There was a hint of mockery in Xiao Yue's hoarse voice. That disdainful tone caused Xiao Yanyu's pupils to slightly constrict as anger covered her beautiful face.

Xiao Xiaolong's temper was even worse than Xiao Yanyu's and he was unable to endure it any further. He gathered his true energy and charged toward Xiao Yue.

”Ah! You bastard!” Xiao Xiaolong howled with bloodshot eyes as he swung his fist with a powerful force.

Bang!

Xiao Yue calmly lifted his hand and caught Xiao Xiaolong's fist with his palm. However, despite Xiao Xiaolong putting in so much force, Xiao Yue's hand did not budge in the slightest.

”Third grade Battle-Maniac? Your talent is still quite inferior compared to your elder sister.” Xiao Yue lightly smiled as a powerful force burst out from his palm. The wave of energy scattered in all directions and sent Xiao Xiaolong's body flying.

Xiao Yanyu caught Xiao Xiaolong's body in mid-air and her expression had already turned frosty.

Zhao Ruge was staring at Xiao Yue while his eyes were flashing. On the other hand, the three barbarians of Ouyang were standing in a distance and shaking their heads while sighing… They could not and dare not interfere in the Xiao family's affairs.

After placing Xiao Xiaolong down, Xiao Yanyu's eyes seemed to become empty as her hair, propelled by a force, began to hover in the air.

Ever since that incident three years ago, she had been diligently cultivating day after day for this moment. She did it so that she could personally execute the brute that sent their mother into a coma.

A pale green dot appeared on her flawless forehead and began to spread as pale green lines gradually covered her beautiful face.

”Wood Mist Technique? You actually learned this type of secret technique that depletes your life force… It seems that you really hate me.”

Xiao Yue's expression underneath the bamboo hat could not be seen as his hoarse voice resounded around the store.

Zhao Ruge's pupils constricted as he thought, ”Wood Mist Technique, that's a terrifying technique that converts life force into a tremendous power! Its users can even challenge higher level opponents! Xiao Yanyu actually learned such a technique, what a mad woman!”

”Xiao Yue, it's time for you to die!” The current Xiao Yanyu was cold and ruthless, and each of her words were as cold as ice.

However, just when she was about to make a move, a slender hand suddenly landed on her shoulder and an indifferent voice rang out from behind her.

”Excuse me, but creating a disturbance is prohibited within the store. If you want to fight, please do it outside. Thank you.”

Everyone was startled as they looked at Bu Fang—whose hand was still on Xiao Yanyu's shoulder —with odd expressions on their faces. This fellow… Was he not afraid of death?

With such a grim mood that anyone could detect the murderous intent, it was obvious that a fierce battle was about to occur. What was a third grade Battle-Maniac doing over there?

Xiao Yanyu's dark green pupils slightly moved and her cold gaze focused on Bu Fang's expressionless face.

”Are you going to get in my way?” Her voice was as cold as ice mountains and cold winds and would cause any listeners to shiver. Even Bu Fang slightly frowned when he heard her. He stared at the dark green dot on Xiao Yanyu's forehead and could feel a vigorous life force bubbling within.

Hum!

A powerful force knocked away Bu Fang's arm as Xiao Yanyu ignored him and took a step forward. Her toes lightly tapped the ground and her figure swiftly glided toward Xiao Yue.

Bu Fang took a step backward and lightly called out, ”Whitey.”

As Whitey appeared next to him with its big belly, Bu Fang patted Whitey's belly and said, ”Stop them.”

Xiao Bai's mechanical eyes flashed, then it disappeared from where it stood and instantly reappeared next to Xiao Yanyu.

”Get out of my way!” Xiao Yanyu's face suddenly turned ferocious as she flung out a burst of true energy from her hand toward Whitey who was blocking her way. She had already set her mind on killing Xiao Yue that day, so there was no one who could stop her!
