Seeing Yafei give no face, Liu Xi became anxious and shouted loudly.
"I've reached two-star Dou Qi, and my teacher is about to formally teach me alchemy. I'm about to become a first-grade alchemist! Am I, Liu Xi, not worthy of a minor auctioneer like you?"
At the mention of "alchemist," Liu Xi's proud expression even surpassed his lecherous gaze.
"Where did this bumpkin come from? He only reached two-star Dou Qi at twenty and thinks he's gifted?"
Yafei felt both amused and angry. With her beauty and the Mittel family background, even a genius alchemist in the Imperial Capital would not speak to her this way.
This Liu Xi's talent was nothing special even in Utan City; it was merely the "alchemist" title that inflated his pride.
"Mr. Liu Xi, do you think a low-level woman like me running this Utan branch has no background?"
Yafei sneered, and a medal slowly appeared in her jade hand—it was the Mittel family emblem.
"Even your teacher cannot threaten our Mittel family! I respect you noble alchemists, but do not disgrace yourself!"
"You—"
Being so firmly rejected, Liu Xi's face flushed, and he swept Yafei with a lewd gaze before growling, "Just wait, I'll make you obediently sleep with me one day!"
At this point, his lust was entirely exposed.
As he was about to turn and leave, a slightly childish voice suddenly rang out.
"Wait!"
The childlike voice caused Liu Xi to pause, his gaze shifting over Yafei's cold, beautiful face to see a small figure approaching him with an unfriendly expression.
"Child, what do you want?"
Liu Xi turned, displeased, staring at Xiao Yan, whom he had almost ignored.
"Apologize to her."
Xiao Yan said coldly.
"Apologize?"
Liu Xi looked at Xiao Yan and then at Yafei, a mocking smirk on his lips. "Whether I apologize is not up to a little thing like you."
"Is that so?"
Seeing Liu Xi's insolence, Xiao Yan shook his head slightly.
"Looks like you're still going to die in your usual way."
As his words fell, the small figure, barely a head shorter than him, suddenly jumped. One small hand, moving with strange speed, struck hard against his face.
"Divine Ability—Emperor Yan vs. Dou!"
Smack!"
A crisp sound echoed through the room. In the next moment, Yafei saw Liu Xi stagger several steps back and finally fall hard onto the floor.
Although Xiao Yan was only twelve years old, after this period of rigorous training, his physical strength rivaled that of an adult.
Combined with his perfect control of his body, the force he unleashed far exceeded that of an ordinary adult.
This perfectly executed slap transferred the terrifying force straight onto Liu Xi's face, leaving him dizzy and disoriented.
After sitting on the floor in shock for at least half a minute, Liu Xi's pale face gradually turned blood-red, matching the fury in his eyes.
"You little bastard! I'll kill you!"
Liu Xi sprang up, Dou Qi surging around him, his hands seemingly condensed with scorching energy, ready to strike Xiao Yan down.
Being slapped to the ground by a child half a head shorter than him, and in front of a stunning beauty like Yafei, drove the pampered young man nearly mad with murderous intent.
"Guards! Drag him out!"
At this critical moment, Yafei shouted. Two armored men entered and dragged Liu Xi out.
"Let go of me! I'll kill this little brat!"
"Yafei, you'll regret offending me for this brat!"
Once their voices faded outside, Yafei exhaled softly, glancing at Xiao Yan with surprise hidden behind her anger.
A twelve-year-old child could slap a two-star Dou Qi to the ground. Even as a surprise attack, it was astonishing.
"You little guy, now you've really offended him. I wouldn't worry about offending this loser, but his teacher… handling him would be extremely tricky."
Liu Xi struggled frantically, but with two five-star Dou Qi warriors beside him, the two-star Dou Qi with little combat experience had no chance of resistance.
