Fine wine

Su Yiyun had originally intended to ignore Xiao Fan for a while, not speaking to him.

But for Xiao Fan to manipulate her, he only needed his hands.

"Chat with me, and I'll return five Shadow Stones to you."

Su Yiyun calculated: ten plus five, fifteen Shadow Stones, already half of them. It was just chatting, so there shouldn't be any problem... right?

She became smarter and said, "You swear first that you won't do anything else besides chatting."

Just thinking about what Xiao Fan had done to her made her grit her teeth in hatred.

Although your family background is good, your cultivation is high, your talent is strong, and you're even quite handsome, you're too much of a hooligan!

Can't you get my consent first?

No, why would I agree? She felt confused again, but finally found the answer.

Su Yiyun inwardly affirmed, the Desireful Maiden Heart Sutra is an Evil Path Cultivation Technique; it must have influenced her!

Xiao Fan helplessly spread his hands and swore, "I swear it's just chatting, and there will definitely be no next step! Otherwise, otherwise, may I become a peerless Great Villain."

Only then did Su Yiyun relax. How could he, a Saint of a Righteous Path Holy Land, become a peerless villain? His reputation would be ruined!

Hmm, it was a rather venomous oath.

Su Yiyun extended her hand: "Give me the Shadow Stones first."

What could Xiao Fan do? Of course, he gave them to her. As for how to continue manipulating her, there were plenty of ways, and relying solely on one leverage might be counterproductive.

Su Yiyun took them, feeling delighted. This guy might just be a hooligan on the surface; deep down, he was still quite simple.

Otherwise, how could he so easily give me the Shadow Stones? From meeting to now, it hasn't even been half a day, and he's given me half. It feels like getting all of them back won't take too long.

Xiao Fan looked at her smile, which was quite beautiful.

It's not easy being a Luck Daughter; losing both parents is just the starting price. Now her entire family is gone.

"I heard you're the Su Family Young Miss, but I haven't heard your name. How strong is the Su Family, exactly?"

Su Yiyun sighed, "I've heard of your family, or rather, no one in the entire Heavenly Path Continent doesn't know the Xiao Family, one of the nine great powers of the Heavenly Path Continent, an existence on par with the Tai Xuan Holy Land."

"Is my family that famous?"

"Yes, very famous."

Xiao Fan understood, but why did his old man cry poverty every day? Was this 'raising a son poorly'?

And he even took away the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, a birthday gift from the Old Ancestor in the Upper Realm. How hateful!

Amidst her envy, Su Yiyun said, "My family is just a small aristocratic family. The strongest Old Ancestor in our clan is only at the Soul Transformation stage."

"In the Heavenly Path Continent, a Soul Transformation Cultivator is nothing to speak of."

"For example, your Uncle Jiang, although I don't know what his cultivation is, facing him, I feel he's much stronger than my Old Ancestor."

Xiao Fan agreed deeply: "Your feeling is correct. Uncle Jiang is a Void Refinement Late Stage Cultivator; he is indeed stronger than your family's Soul Transformation Old Ancestor."

Although Su Yiyun had guessed it earlier, hearing that a Void Refinement Late Stage Cultivator was acting as his stableman still shocked her.

She couldn't help but say with a bitter smile, "I told you, my family is just a small aristocratic family."

Xiao Fan nodded and said, "It is indeed quite small."

Su Yiyun: ...

I'm mocking myself; do you have to speak the truth too?

Su Yiyun's expression was a little unnatural, and she said, "With your status, what kind of woman can't you have? Why did you come for me and give me those strange orders?"

"What strange orders?"

Su Yiyun said angrily and shyly, "It's what you said, giving me a chance to pursue you."

"Are you playing with my feelings?" she said.

Xiao Fan was stunned. Ha! I was just about to conquer you, and you're already preparing to surrender?

Looking at her shy and serious Face, Xiao Fan felt playful and said with a half-smile, "Don't think so complicatedly. How could I play with your feelings?"

Hearing this, Su Yiyun breathed a sigh of relief, relieved, but at the same time, she felt a little dejected.

This guy was indeed just playing around. He probably just had too much fun.

However, why do I feel a little disappointed?

Xiao Fan said seriously, "I just want to play with your body; I'm not interested in your feelings."

Su Yiyun: ???

Her shy expression suddenly turned blank, and the next second, she burst into rage!

"Bastard, scoundrel, rotten egg, say that again!" She immediately drew her sword and made to chop at Xiao Fan.

Tsk tsk, even scolding is so unique. I like it even more, hehehe...

Xiao Fan glanced at it. The quality of that sword wasn't very good; it was probably just a Low Grade Spiritual Artifact.

Treasures can be divided into Mortal Weapon, Magical Artifact, Spiritual Artifact, Treasure Artifact, and Dao Artifact, and each category has Low Grade, Medium Grade, High Grade, and Top-Grade distinctions.

It was just a Low Grade Spiritual Artifact. The purple-gold Dao robe on his body was a High Grade Dao Artifact; even a Void Refining Cultivator couldn't break its defense.

Not to mention a Foundation Establishment cultivator holding a Low Grade Spiritual Artifact.

When that sword was still 0.01 centimeters from Xiao Fan's neck, it suddenly stopped.

Su Yiyun said angrily, "Why didn't you dodge?"

"You can't break my defense."

Su Yiyun was stunned. She thought he would say something like 'trusting my character' or 'thinking I'm a good person' and that there was no killing intent.

But the result was that he thought I couldn't hurt him?

This guy is so infuriating!

"Then you open your eyes wide and see if I have the ability to hurt you," she said defiantly. "I just need to control the force and aim for a small scratch."

Xiao Fan remained unmoved, but before she made a move, he introduced to her:

"This Dao robe of mine, the Purple Gold Cloud Armor Demon-Warding Dao Robe, was refined by the Holy Lord of the Hundred Refinements Holy Land. It cost approximately eight million Top-Grade Spirit Stones. It's impervious to water and fire, repels all evil, and can withstand heavenly lightning."

Su Yiyun shouted, "So what? I don't believe I can't kill you!"

Her movements still didn't stop; she continued to look like she was about to strike.

Xiao Fan smiled slightly, and with his next words, he made her dare not move at all.

"I'm not saying how strong its defense is; I'm saying that if it gets scratched, repairing it will probably cost several million High-Grade Spirit Stones."

Su Yiyun's movements froze. Should she slash or not? What if it really got scratched? She couldn't afford to compensate; even if she sold herself, she couldn't afford it.

But this guy is so infuriating. If I don't slash him, I feel so angry.

Xiao Fan ignored her. With a wave of his hand, four humanoid Puppets walked out, carrying a tea table and tea leaves, and began to brew tea for him.

The aroma of tea permeated the air, refreshing the heart and mind.

Xiao Fan took a cup, smiled, and handed it to her, "Have some tea to calm your anger."

Su Yiyun was angered by him, but given an out, she slowly put away her sword, not wanting to bother with him.

Xiao Fan didn't dawdle either; he blew on it and drank it himself.

"This is a good thing. The tea leaves are picked from the Dao Comprehension Tree, Dao Comprehension Tea Leaves. They are greatly beneficial for cultivation and comprehending the Dao, and can also calm the mind, focus the spirit, and enhance Divine Sense."

"This spring water is also not simple; it's the Jade Spirit Holy Water from the back mountain of the Tai Xuan Holy Land. You should know, this is a privilege only the Holy Lord can have."

With that, he drank it all again.

Su Yiyun turned her head, looking surprised. Just how extravagant was this guy?

She hadn't not heard of Dao Comprehension Tea; this was a supreme treasure useful even to Great Ascension cultivators. Was it really okay for a Golden Core Cultivator like him to consume it?

And also the Jade Spirit Holy Water, wasn't it a treasure of the Holy Land? How did he have it?

Su Yiyun watched the Puppets continuously brewing tea, and her throat also rolled. If she could drink a cup, it would be very helpful for her future cultivation.

But she had just refused, so how could she bring herself to say it again?

She was very conflicted. If only she had known, she wouldn't have refused him just now.

Xiao Fan could see through her thoughts. He controlled these Puppets to retreat and said to Su Yiyun, "Are you really not going to drink tea?"

Su Yiyun turned her head away and said, "I said no, so it's no."

The path she chose, she had to walk kneeling if necessary.

Her heart was bleeding. Ah, I was still too impulsive, so annoying.

Can't let go of her Face? Hmph!

Xiao Fan said unequivocally, "Come over and brew tea for me. I don't want to do it myself. The tea brewed by the Puppets isn't good. You do it."

Su Yiyun still remained unmoved.

Xiao Fan unleashed his ultimate move: "You don't want the matter of your cultivating Demonic Technique to be known by the Holy Lord, do you?"

Su Yiyun was stunned. This guy only knew this trick!

Xiao Fan said, "Of course, I won't let you work for nothing. We'll drink tea and chat together."

Su Yiyun froze. Oh well, so he was looking for an excuse to make me accept. But couldn't his tone of voice be a little nicer, you bastard!

"Alright, I'll reluctantly brew tea for you."

Su Yiyun also knew a bit about tea ceremony, of course, in the traditional sense, not the green tea kind.

She brewed a cup of hot tea and carefully handed it to him, afraid of spilling it.

"It's so hot, won't you blow on it to cool it down a bit?" Xiao Fan said with a frown.

Su Yiyun froze.

"Aren't you afraid I'll blow my saliva into it?"

"What are you talking about? That's Jade Liquid Ambrosia. Haven't I eaten enough of it?" Xiao Fan said in a nonchalant manner.

Su Yiyun was first confused. What Jade Liquid Ambrosia?

However, after seeing his expression, why was his gaze fixed on her lips?

At this moment, she understood.

Bastard, this guy, even talking has to take advantage.
