章 113: Shura Field
Wutan City
Mittel Auction House, VIP Room on the third floor.
Upon hearing the news of the third young master of the Xiao family arriving, Ya Fei, dressed in a red gown, she quickly made her way to the VIP room with her long, jade-like legs.
"I was wondering why my eye kept twitching today. It turns out it's because a distinguished guest has arrived~"
Seeing Xiao Feng sipping tea, Ya Fei immediately flashed a warm smile and swayed her slim waist as she walked over to sit beside him.
Smelling the faint fragrance coming from Ya Fei, Xiao Feng leisurely put down his teacup and got straight to the point: "Miss Ya Fei, you're too polite. I came today because I need your help with something."
A glimmer of sharpness flickered in Ya Fei's long, beautiful eyes. She lightly waved the fan in her hand and, with a charming voice, said with a smile, "Please, Third Young Master, tell me. As long as it's something I can help with, I will give it my all."
[This third young master of the Xiao family is so young and already a Four-Star Dou King. His future accomplishments are bound to be limitless. If I don't seize the chance to have him owe me some favours now, I might not even have the chance to stand before him in the future. Even if I have to take a loss today, I must ensure he leaves satisfied.]
"Since Miss Ya Fei has said so, I won't be modest."
Hearing Ya Fei's playful inner thoughts, Xiao Feng smiled slightly and said, "I'm looking for someone to help me refine a few pills, but I'm missing some key ingredients. I was hoping Miss Ya Fei could help me acquire them, preferably within a month."
"Oh, I see!"
Ya Fei nodded in understanding and then asked gently, "Has the Third Young Master already listed the ingredients he needs to purchase? If not, I can help write down a list for you, making it easier for my people to gather them."
"I've already prepared the list. I'll have to trouble you with it."
A hint of amusement flashed in Xiao Feng's eyes as he handed the prepared list of ingredients to Ya Fei.
Ya Fei instinctively glanced at the list Xiao Feng handed her, and her smile froze immediately.
Though Ya Fei wasn't an alchemist, as the chief auctioneer of the Mittel Auction House, she was well-informed and recognised that the ingredients listed were all either fifth or sixth-grade spirit medicines.
Even with the backing of the Mittel family, gathering these ingredients within a month would be nearly impossible, let alone helping Xiao Feng acquire them.
"Th-Th-Third Young Master, aren't you overestimating me a bit? The spirit medicines on this list are rare treasures, and I don't think I could gather them within a month."
Despite wanting to have Xiao Feng owe her a favour, Ya Fei didn't dare to take on such an impossible task, fearing that she would offend him if she failed.
"What if I add this token?"
As Xiao Feng finished speaking, he pulled out the token Hai Bodong had given him.
!!!
Ya Fei's pupils shrank suddenly.
Several months ago, Hai Bodong had returned to the Mittel family, and Ya Fei had naturally received news of the grand elder's return.
Seeing the token in Xiao Feng's hand, which bore the Mittel family emblem and the word "Ice," Ya Fei was shocked beyond words.
Regaining her composure, Ya Fei couldn't help but ask excitedly, "Could it be that the Third Young Master knows Hai Lao?"
"Of course, I know him. That old sly fox still owes me three favours!"
Xiao Feng teased with a smile, "But before I had the chance to collect on those favours, that old fox ran off, leaving me this token, saying I could come to your Mittel family for help if I needed anything."
"…"
Hearing Xiao Feng refer to Hai Bodong as an "old sly fox," Ya Fei didn't know how to respond. However, from Xiao Feng's tone, it seemed their relationship was much closer than she had imagined.
"Miss Ya Fei, this is a letter I wrote personally. Please send it to Hai Lao as soon as possible, and he will know what to do."
Looking at the letter Xiao Feng handed her, Ya Fei's expression changed slightly, and she pouted with a hint of frustration. "So, Third Young Master was teasing me earlier, huh? You had a personal letter for Hai Lao the whole time but didn't show it sooner."
[What a little rascal! He was clearly trying to make a fool of me!]
Xiao Feng, with an innocent face, replied, "Miss Ya Fei, you misunderstand. I just didn't have the heart to refuse your kind offer since you were so enthusiastic."
"Since the Third Young Master puts it that way, how could I not believe you?"
Ya Fei rolled her eyes at Xiao Feng in a flirtatious manner, then gracefully took the letter from him. "Rest assured, Third Young Master, I will ensure this letter reaches Hai Lao safely."
"Then I'll leave it to you, Miss Ya Fei. I'll take my leave now."
"Third, Young Master, please."
After personally escorting Xiao Feng out of the Mittel Auction House, Ya Fei instructed her people to deliver the letter to the Mittel family headquarters as quickly as possible.
"Brother, you're finally back. If you didn't return soon, I was afraid Cousin Xun'er and the others might start fighting."
As soon as Xiao Feng returned to the Xiao family, Xiao Yan rushed over to inform him of the arrival of Little Doctor Fairy and Qing Lin.
Led by Xiao Yan, the two quickly arrived at the courtyard where Xiao Feng resided.
By the stone table in the courtyard, three lovely figures sat.
Xiao Xun'er, dressed in a green gown, sat facing Little Doctor Fairy, who was in purple with white hair, while Qing Lin sat between them, quietly munching on fruit.
Although Qing Lin was also a rare beauty, she was only twelve years old and simply wanted to be Xiao Feng's servant, so neither Xiao Xun'er nor Little Doctor Fairy viewed her as a competition.
"Xian'er, Qing Lin, you're here!"
Ignoring the tense atmosphere in the courtyard, Xiao Feng greeted Little Doctor Fairy and the others with a smile.
"Young Master~"
Seeing Xiao Feng return, Qing Lin immediately jumped up, running to his side and skillfully wrapping her arm around his.
[Hungry~]
The seven-coloured Heaven Swallowing Python coiled around Qing Lin's wrist emerged from her sleeve, letting out a soft hiss toward Xiao Feng as if begging for food.
"Good girl~"
Xiao Feng patted Qing Lin's head before taking out a red pill and offering it to the Heaven Swallowing Python.
[Tasty~ Like it~]
The Heaven Swallowing Python devoured the pill in one bite, then rubbed its head against Xiao Feng's palm in satisfaction.
Ever since the python started following Qing Lin, Xiao Feng has been feeding it pills he personally refines every day, quickly winning its favor.
Of course, the pills Xiao Feng had been giving it were far from true elixirs.
