Xiong Fei’s eyes were fixed on Liu Xiran, scanning her up and down.
He particularly lingered on the girl’s pair of straight, slender, fair, and jade-like legs.
“Little sister, I am Xiong Fei, the young lord of Star Sand City. You must have heard of my name. I have many novelties there, the kind of things little girls your age love most. And lots of beautiful clothes too, you’ll definitely like them. Come, let me take you!”
Xiong Fei put on a coaxing demeanor.
He knew that girls of Liu Xiran’s age were less guarded and liked novel toys and pretty clothes. Targeting these two points was sure to work.
He was already fantasizing about how stunningly beautiful this young maiden would look after putting on his meticulously collected clothes.
Behind him, his retinue all wore knowing smiles.
Liu Xiran frowned, a hint of disgust and panic appearing in her large eyes.
She had long heard of Xiong Fei’s notorious behavior in Star Sand City, bullying the strong and oppressing the weak. Her elder sister, Liu Xiwei, had often warned her to steer clear even if she just heard Xiong Fei’s name, and to absolutely avoid being seen by him.
As expected.
Xiong Fei, that lustful devil, had wicked intentions the moment he saw her.
She couldn’t help but regret her actions.
If only she had known, she shouldn’t have sneaked out alone today.
Without any guards by her side, how could she escape Xiong Fei’s clutches?
Liu Xiran shook her head like a rattle drum, repeatedly saying, “I’m not going, I want to go home. My parents and my sister are waiting for me. My father is Liu Yubei, the head of the Liu family, and my sister is Liu Xiwei, Star Sand City’s top genius. Our Liu family has strict upbringing; we’re not allowed to play outside for too long.”
Xiong Fei narrowed his eyes.
So, she was a young lady of the Liu family!
No wonder she was so beautiful. He had wondered why she bore some resemblance to Liu Xiwei.
He couldn’t have Liu Xiwei, but playing with Liu Xiwei’s younger sister would be just as good.
Little did Liu Xiran know that by bringing up her background, she hadn’t deterred Xiong Fei; instead, she had ignited his greater interest.
Xiong Fei said, “Don’t worry. If your parents knew you came back to the City Lord’s mansion with me, they wouldn’t scold you; they’d praise you instead. If you become good friends with me, wouldn’t the relationship between the Liu family and our City Lord’s mansion become even closer? They’d be overjoyed. Hurry, come with me.”
Xiong Fei chuckled, reaching out a hand to grab Liu Xiran’s fair and flawless wrist.
“I don’t want to, you’re a bad person! Don’t touch me.”
Liu Xiran’s face turned pale with fright, and she instinctively dodged, leaning closer to Ling Fan.
Xiong Fei missed his grab, feeling somewhat awkward, and his expression immediately soured.
He said with displeasure, “Damn you, you little slut! You dare ruin my mood? I don’t care if you’re from the Liu family or the Ma family; you’re going with me today whether you like it or not!”
A layer of true qi light suddenly emanated from Xiong Fei.
He was, in fact, a young martial artist in the middle stage of Qi Refining.
While this cultivation level couldn’t be considered that of a top genius, it wasn’t too bad either.
The young lord of Cloud Dream City, Yun Rui, was also at this cultivation level.
As he used his true qi, his movements became lightning-fast and even more forceful. Let alone Liu Xiran, who hadn’t even entered the Qi Refining realm, even if she were in the early stage of Qi Refining, she wouldn’t be able to dodge this.
Despair flickered in Liu Xiran’s eyes. As if grasping a life-saving straw, she tightly clutched Ling Fan’s clothes and shrank herself onto his body.
Ling Fan’s gaze slightly sharpened.
He gave Liang Hutou a meaningful look.
Liang Hutou immediately understood.
He had long found this scoundrel Xiong Fei unbearable, not letting go of even a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl. What a beast!
Now, with Ling Fan’s instruction, he grinned sinisterly and spat out a chicken bone he had been chewing towards Xiong Fei’s hand.
*Swish*
Though it was just a chicken bone the size of a little finger, it flew like a fired cannonball, striking Xiong Fei’s arm fiercely.
This was a strike imbued with the hidden strength of a peak Profound Gang realm expert. Even though Liang Hutou used less than a tenth of his power, it was still something Xiong Fei, a mere middle-stage Qi Refiner, couldn’t resist.
The chicken bone easily pierced Xiong Fei’s true qi and then his arm, drawing a spray of blood that splattered all over the ground!
“Ah!”
Xiong Fei’s eyes bulged in pain as he fell to the ground, clutching his arm, writhing in agony.
With his pampered, tender skin, when had he ever suffered such an injury? His mind felt like mush.
“Young Lord!”
Xiong Fei’s followers cried out in alarm and quickly rushed forward to help him up.
The strongest among them was a guard at the peak of Qi Refining.
He stared intently at Liang Hutou, his heart churning with immense shock.
So strong!
With a casual spit, he could pierce the true qi defense of a middle-stage Qi Refiner. This one-eyed man was at least at the peak of Qi Refining, or perhaps even in the Profound Gang realm.
The other guests on the third floor were also greatly astonished.
On one hand, they were surprised that someone dared to make a move against Xiong Fei.
On the other hand, they were also deeply impressed by Liang Hutou’s skill.
When did such a powerful individual emerge in Star Sand City?
With such power from spitting out a bone, this one-eyed man was not weak at all.
As for the attendant, he stared with wide, disbelieving eyes.
What was going on?
That one-eyed fellow, who looked like a nouveau riche bumpkin, was actually so strong!
Thinking about how he had tried to stop these two earlier, he now felt a sense of lingering fear.
However, upon second thought, since these two had thoroughly offended Xiong Fei, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of schadenfreude.
Heh, these two were as good as dead.
Xiong Fei was in so much pain that he was losing his sanity. How dare someone attack him on his Star Sand City territory! It was an outrage!
No matter if they were peak Qi Refiners or Profound Gang realm experts, they would die.
“Damn your mother! Who are you people, daring to attack me! Do you know where this is? This is our Xiong family’s Star Sand City! You’re all dead!”
“And you, little slut, it’s all your fault I’m injured. Later, if I don’t play with you in thirty-six different ways, I won’t be called Xiong Fei!”
Xiong Fei gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with fierce malevolence.
Liu Xiran’s face turned even paler with fear, and she pressed herself even closer to Ling Fan.
She knew how powerful the City Lord’s mansion was in Star Sand City.
It could be said that in Star Sand City, the Xiong family’s word was law; no one dared to defy them.
Moreover, Xiong Fei had brought so many followers and guards with powerful auras. Whether they could even leave the Heavenly Heart Pavilion today was a question.
Thinking of this, large, crystalline tears dripped from Liu Xiran’s big eyes. Pouting her small lips, she said, “I’m sorry, big brother. I’ve implicated you. You should leave quickly. He wants me; you still have a chance to run!”
Ling Fan patted Liu Xiran’s small hand and smiled faintly, “Don’t be afraid. They’re just a bunch of weaklings. With me here, no one will be able to harm you.”
