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.
âOwner Bu, I am leaving. I will reserve a jar of Ice Heart Jade Urn Wine for tomorrow as well,â 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.
âHmm, alright,â Bu Fang nodded.
âXiao Yue! Are you just going to leave like this?!â Xiao Yanyuâs voice rang out. It was no longer like the song of birds, but a slight mixture of anger and killing intent.
Xiao Yueâs 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.
âWhat about it? Do you think you can make me stay?â There was a hint of mockery in Xiao Yueâs hoarse voice. That disdainful tone caused Xiao Yanyuâs pupils to slightly constrict as anger covered her beautiful face.
Xiao Xiaolongâs temper was even worse than Xiao Yanyuâs and he was unable to endure it any further. He gathered his true energy and charged toward Xiao Yue.
âAh! You bastard!â 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 Xiaolongâs fist with his palm. However, despite Xiao Xiaolong putting in so much force, Xiao Yueâs hand did not budge in the slightest.
âThird grade Battle-Maniac? Your talent is still quite inferior compared to your elder sister.â Xiao Yue lightly smiled as a powerful force burst out from his palm. The wave of energy scattered in all directions and sent Xiao Xiaolongâs body flying.
Xiao Yanyu caught Xiao Xiaolongâs 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 familyâs affairs.
After placing Xiao Xiaolong down, Xiao Yanyuâs 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.
âWood Mist Technique? You actually learned this type of secret technique that depletes your life force⌠It seems that you really hate me.â
Xiao Yueâs expression underneath the bamboo hat could not be seen as his hoarse voice resounded around the store.
Zhao Rugeâs pupils constricted as he thought, âWood Mist Technique, thatâs 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!â
âXiao Yue, itâs time for you to die!â 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.
âExcuse me, but creating a disturbance is prohibited within the store. If you want to fight, please do it outside. Thank you.â
Everyone was startled as they looked at Bu Fangâwhose hand was still on Xiao Yanyuâs shoulder âwith 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 Yanyuâs dark green pupils slightly moved and her cold gaze focused on Bu Fangâs expressionless face.
âAre you going to get in my way?â 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 Yanyuâs forehead and could feel a vigorous life force bubbling within.
Hum!
A powerful force knocked away Bu Fangâs 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, âWhitey.â
As Whitey appeared next to him with its big belly, Bu Fang patted Whiteyâs belly and said, âStop them.â
Xiao Baiâs mechanical eyes flashed, then it disappeared from where it stood and instantly reappeared next to Xiao Yanyu.
âGet out of my way!â Xiao Yanyuâs 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!
Whiteyâs mechanical eyes slightly flashed red and it lifted up its hand.
Bang bang!
Ignoring the burst of true energy, Whiteyâs hand landed on Xiao Yanyuâs body, jarring her entire body. Xiao Yanyu was flung backward as she miserably landed next to Xiao Xiaolong. The dark green dot on her forehead made a crisp sound as it immediately shattered into many pieces like glass.
Her secret technique was actually dispelled by a single palm strike from Whitey!
Xiao Yue narrowed his eyes as he gravely looked toward Whitey. He thought, âThis puppet is slightly interesting. To be able to dispel Xiao Yanyuâs technique with a single palm strike, it should be quite strong.â
âOwner Bu, I am leaving. Donât forget to keep a jar of Ice Heart Jade Urn Wine for me,â Xiao Yue lightly smiled as he said toward Bu Fang. Then he turned around and disappeared within the chilly alleyway.
âTroublemaker, you will be stripped as an example to others.â As Xiao Yue disappeared, Whiteyâs mechanical voice rang out and startled everyone.
âOwner Bu, my sister didnât cause trouble! She really didnât⌠Wasnât she stopped before she could reach the other party?â Xiao Xiaolongâs expression slightly changed as he quickly hugged Xiao Yanyuâs body and anxiously said to Bu Fang.
What a joke! How could Xiao Xiaolong allow others to strip his sister and throw her out? It would not just simply end with a clamor, an earthquake might even occur within the imperial city.
Bu Fang slightly hesitated as he felt that Xiao Xiaolongâs words seemed to hold water.
âThe other partyâs secret technique being dispelled has led to a severe loss of life force and resulted in a life endangering situation. Considering that Whitey injured Xiao Yanyu due to the hostâs incitement, an abrupt mission shall be issued.
âAbrupt Mission: The host has to learn âElixir Cuisineâ, the cooking method of Sage Herb Phoenix Chicken Soup, within three days and rescue the life of a dying beauty.â
(Since ancient times, the fate of beautiful women end in misery. Young man, use your nimble hands to rescue her.)
Mission Reward: Oyster Bun that may be ordered to take out.
The systemâs solemn voice suddenly rang out in Bu Fangâs mind, causing him to space out.
Abrupt mission? Rescue the beauty?
âThe rule was set by the system!â Bu Fang was slightly dumbfounded as the corner of his mouth twitched.
âAfter analysis, it is concluded that Xiao Yanyuâs actions was not severe enough to be considered as causing trouble,â the system seriously replied.
Bu Fang felt as if his chest was pierced by an invisible arrowâŚ
âFine, this style of conducting business is indeed how the system behaves.â
âOwner Bu! My sister⌠She⌠Whatâs wrong with her!â Xiao Xiaolongâs horrified voice pulled Bu Fang back into reality.
Bu Fang walked toward Xiao Yanyu. Her face was pale and her rosy lips had lost its luster. It was as if her life energy was rapidly depleting.
The system was indeed not lying to him. She was in a life endangering situation after receiving the blow from Whitey.
âItâs alright. Sheâs only suffering from an ordinary loss of life force. Thereâs always a few days in a month when people experience this. Bring her back here in three days and Iâll prepare a medicinal cuisine for her. Sheâll recover once she eats it,â Bu Fang simply said as he expressionlessly concealed his guilty conscience.
Xiao Xiaolong and the rest were stunned. They thought, âIs⌠it really alright? There isnât even any color on her face!â
âTrust me, itâs alright. However, remember to bring her back in three days,â Bu Fang earnestly exhorted.
âYoung master Xiao, you should bring young lady Yanyu back to the manor and let General Xiao look at her first. With the generalâs abilities, he should be able to treat her,â the three barbarians of Ouyang reminded Xiao Xiaolong.
Xiao Xiaolong was immediately woken up by the reminder and hastily exited the store with Xiao Yanyu in his arms.
Zhao Ruge and the rest left as well. The incident that day had quite a huge impact on them.
The fact that the Heart-rending Sword Monarch had appeared within the imperial city was an important information. After all, such a dangerous character had appeared in a sensitive period.
âSmelly boss, is elder sister Yanyu really alright?â Ouyang Xiaoyi doubtfully looked up at Bu Fang and asked.

âSheâs alright. Be a good girl and go back first,â Bu Fang said as he stroked Ouyang Xiaoyiâs head.
Once everyone had left, Bu Fang closed up the store and ended the business for the day.
âSystem, what will happen if I donât manage to learn how to cook the Sage Herb Phoenix Chicken Soup within three days?â Bu Fang quietly asked the system.
The system solemnly replied, âThereâs a ninety-nine percent chance that the host would be torn into pieces by the furious seventh grade Battle-Saint Xiao Meng.â
âUh, system, for the sake of rescuing a beauty still experiencing the prime of her life, I will work hard! Hurry up and tell me how to cook the medicinal cuisine! Hurry!â Bu Fang announced in a righteous tone.
