Liu Xi was now very excited, and the reason for his excitement was the beautiful young woman in green standing not far away.
The young woman wore an elegant outfit, her exquisite face completely free of makeup, utterly natural. Her hair, tied back with a blue ribbon, reached just to her waist. As a gentle breeze blew, her hair swayed slightly, an incredibly captivating sight.
Around the young woman's slender waist, a purple belt clearly accentuated her graceful curves. Even the eyes of passersby couldn't help but steal glances, secretly wondering what kind of pleasure it would be to hold such a slender waist in their arms.
Staring at the young woman with burning eyes, Liu Xi's hands trembled slightly from excitement. The elegant young woman before him was completely different from the women he had played with before. Her ethereal temperament, like a lotus flower, truly made Liu Xi, who loved women like his life, wish he could possess her immediately.
His gaze swept over Xiao Ning, whom he had just knocked to the ground with a palm strike. Liu Xi smiled and said, "To protect a flower, you must have some skill. You are still far from it."
Mocked by Liu Xi, Xiao Ning's face flushed, his eyes bloodshot as he glared at the man in front of him, gritting his teeth as if he wished he could lunge forward and bite him.
"Xiao Ning, come back, you are not his opponent." Xiao Yu's face was somewhat icy. She took a step forward and softly shouted.
Xiao Ning gritted his teeth tightly, weighing the strength of both sides. He could only retreat unwillingly, losing face in front of the girl he liked, which made him wish he could die of shame.
His gaze swept back and forth over Xiao Yu, finally settling on her long, alluring legs. Liu Xi couldn't help but praise, "Another exquisite woman. It seems my luck today is not bad."
"Ah, ah, Big Brother Liu Xi, they are all from the Xiao family. This woman is named Xiao Yu, but her temper is too fiery. A man without skill cannot subdue her," Jia Lie Ao walked over with a smirk, saying with a somewhat lewd smile.
"Ah, ah, the spicier, the more flavorful." Liu Xi's gaze again flickered towards the young woman in green, a glint in his eyes. "And this young woman, what is her name?"
Seeing Liu Xi's intentions towards the person he liked, Jia Lie Ao's mouth twitched slightly. After cursing this brain-addled bastard in his heart, he reluctantly replied, "Her name is Xiao Xun'er."
"A very good name." Smiling and nodding, Liu Xi stopped talking nonsense with Jia Lie Ao. He took two steps forward, putting on a gentlemanly facade, and smiled, "I am Liu Xi. May I invite both young ladies to stroll around the commercial district? Ah, if there is anything here that both young ladies fancy, just put it all on my tab." As he spoke, Liu Xi's hand lowered slightly, subtly revealing his professional badge.
On the badge was an ancient medicine cauldron. Outside the medicine cauldron, a silver three-patterned mark reflected an unusual light under the sunlight.
"A First-Grade Alchemist?" Looking at the professional badge on Liu Xi's chest, the surrounding crowd instantly exclaimed in surprise, and these exclamations made the smile on Liu Xi's face grow wider and wider.
Hearing the words "first-grade alchemist," Xiao Yu's face subtly changed, but with her personality, she naturally wouldn't go strolling with this man who looked a bit shifty-eyed just because of that. She immediately spoke coldly, "I'm busy, go find someone else." With that, she pulled Xun Er and turned to leave.
As soon as she turned, several burly men emerged from the crowd, blocking their path with lewd smiles.
Looking at the burly men in front of her, Xiao Yu's face darkened. She turned back and coldly said to Jia Lie Ao, "This is our Xiao family's territory. Aren't you being too arrogant?"
"Ah, ah, the Xiao family? Very strong? You only rely on Blood Coagulation Powder to attract a little popularity. If I wanted to, I could very easily severely damage your Xiao family's vitality. Rejuvenation Powder is just a medicine I casually made," Liu Xi said proudly, waving his hand.
Hearing this, Xiao Yu's face was filled with anger, but she didn't curse out loud. She understood the strength of an alchemist and didn't dare to say anything too harsh, to avoid bringing unnecessary trouble to the Xiao family.
Although Xiao Yu was worried about this, Xun Er wouldn't care about such things. She only knew that these human-shaped pieces of trash had delayed her time to meet Xiao Yan.
She subtly raised her eyes, looking at Liu Xi's smug face. Xun Er's mouth slightly parted, her voice light and agile, but the content of her words stunned everyone: "Trash is ultimately just trash. Even if it's covered with the shell of an alchemist, it's still just trash. People like you, who show off a little bit of skill, as Brother Xiao Yan would say, you are a... fool."
The street fell silent. Many people were surprised; this elegant and captivating young girl, when cursing, was surprisingly no less effective than others.
Xiao Yu also looked at Xun Er beside her in surprise. After a long while, she pouted and said, "I told you long ago, you would be corrupted by that little rascal..."
Being unceremoniously ridiculed by Xun Er in front of everyone, Liu Xi, who was already narrow-minded, slowly lost the smile on his face. He said gloomily, "In all these years, you are the first person who dared to speak to me like that."
"That's really... too foolish a statement."
Gently rubbing her forehead, Xun Er could now confirm that the person in front of her, if not a fool, must be overly arrogant.
"Jia Lie Ao, make your move. I originally intended to use some other methods, but unfortunately, she doesn't appreciate it," Liu Xi said coldly, waving his hand with a gloomy face.
"Ah..." Jia Lie Ao was stunned, feeling a bit of a headache. He smiled bitterly in his heart, saying:
"What is this guy thinking? Father was right; besides knowing how to refine medicine, he really is useless. Damn it, how can such a person become an alchemist?"
Sighing, Jia Lie Ao could only force a smile and say, "Brother Liu Xi, our Jia Lie family cannot touch the Xiao family right now."
"The Xiao family?" Liu Xi scoffed dismissively, "As long as I have her, I will help you deal with the Xiao family. Besides Rejuvenation Powder, I can also refine two or three other types of elixirs. If I refine them, they will help you push the Xiao family back to their former predicament."
Hearing this, Jia Lie Ao was stunned again. He hadn't expected this person to so easily reveal his trump card. Joy filled his heart, followed by a sigh, wondering if lower intelligence correlated with a higher chance of becoming an alchemist. Jia Lie Ao waved his hand, "Seize them!"
Seeing Jia Lie Ao speak, the more than ten burly men behind him immediately ferociously surrounded the three, Xun Er included.
Seeing the opponent's arrogance, Xiao Yu was so angry her eyebrows shot up. She let out a cold laugh, her jade hand reaching to her waist. A green long whip lashed out fiercely at a charging burly man. With a "pa" sound, a long red streak of blood appeared on his face.
Although Xiao Yu was a Three-star Dou Zhe, the opponent's more than ten burly men also had the strength of Dou Zhe. After knocking down two or three of them, Xiao Yu finally began to fall into a disadvantage, dodging somewhat clumsily.
With a palm strike, she sent a burly man spitting blood and staggering back. Xiao Yu's face also turned pale as she retreated a few steps, then turned her head and shouted at Xiao Ning, "Take Xun Er and go! Call that little bastard out!"
Xiao Ning nodded hurriedly, her face suddenly changing. She urgently shouted, "Sister, be careful!"
Hearing Xiao Ning's warning, Xiao Yu quickly turned her head, only to see the burly man she had whipped earlier, his face ferocious, raising his iron fist and fiercely striking towards her chest.
Seeing this fellow use such a despicable move to attack a woman's vital area, Xiao Yu's face turned somewhat ashen with anger. Dou Qi condensed in her hand, just as she was about to ruthlessly strike back, a black figure swiftly appeared beside her. A fierce gust of wind slammed into the burly man's face with immense force, directly causing him to roll several times on the ground, his face covered in blood, before finally stopping.
"Those who just made a move, cripple them all..."
The young man held a steel staff in his hand, his gaze somewhat cold as he glanced at Liu Xi and Jia Lie Ao in front of him. He slightly parted his lips, and in his faint voice, there was a hint of chill.
Hearing the young man's voice, from within the crowd, more than ten burly men holding iron staffs emerged, like wolves and tigers, their faces fierce.
