Xiao Yufan also noticed that as his aura surged, the beast’s pupils constricted sharply…
“Tsk, tsk, trying to act all tough again with me? Just wait until I kick your balls into next week!”
Seeing this, Xiao Yufan was first taken aback, then seemed to recall something, and an eerie smile involuntarily curled his lips. To the beast, that smirk appeared more terrifying than a demon’s.
As for Hua Yun, she blushed furiously from Xiao Yufan’s crude remark. Couldn’t this guy watch his language just a little?
The dragon has always been the totem of China, and in legends, the king of all beasts. Because of the Dragon Mastery Technique, a thread of pure dragon essence naturally existed within Xiao Yufan.
Though merely a thread of dragon essence, its majesty was enough to prevent the beast from acting recklessly. Its massive body took two steps back, shaking the surrounding leaves into the air.
Xiao Yufan naturally would not miss this opportunity. After a cold snort, his hand seals quickly formed, sending layers of energy surging toward the beast.
Strike while it’s weak—seize the moment to end it!
After retreating two steps, the beast immediately revealed an opening, and Xiao Yufan’s attack targeted its weakest spot.
Almost simultaneously as the energy wave struck the beast, a piercing scream echoed out. Compared to its previous roar, this time it was a scream of unbearable pain coursing through its body.
A strike like that would kill or severely injure any ordinary half-step先天 expert, but for this beast, it was nothing more than a painful blow. Xiao Yufan couldn’t help but feel envious of its monstrous physique—it was simply too unbelievably powerful.
He didn’t relax in the slightest after striking the beast. Xiao Yufan knew this creature wouldn’t die easily. If he wasn’t careful, he might end up getting injured himself!
However, what happened next made his lips twitch violently.
The beast glanced at the Tian Zang Flower, then turned tail and fled like the wind, not even looking back. The intimidation from Xiao Yufan left it with no courage to resist. The more intelligent a beast was, the better it understood the value of its own life.
The Tian Zang Flower was indeed a rare treasure, but it needed to stay alive to enjoy it. At this moment, it clearly understood where its priorities lay.
“Huh? Weren’t you just so arrogant a moment ago? Why run away now?”
Suddenly, Xiao Yufan felt an urge to curse. This brute was just too cowardly—running off before he even used his full strength. How could this possibly showcase his mighty, heroic image?
Even so, Xiao Yufan didn’t pursue, because he still didn’t fully trust that beautiful woman!
What if, while he was chasing after the beast, she took the Tian Zang Flower for herself? Wouldn’t he suffer a tremendous loss? After all, this mature Tian Zang Flower had over ten petals—sufficient to create several先天 experts and significantly boost his own strength.
No one could resist such temptation, and of course, Xiao Yufan was no exception.
“Senior sister, are you alright?”
Though Hua Yue and others had been far away, they had also sensed the beast’s aura. Seeing the giant creature flee, the group quickly approached them.
“I’m fine. Thanks to this friend’s help, otherwise, after a while longer, I really might have been drained of strength by that brute.”
Hua Yun’s breathtaking profile bore a charming smile, her bright eyes and pearly teeth like a celestial fairy descending from the heavens. Such a woman was truly born to be a beauty…
“Good that senior sister is safe. We were lucky—right after we ran out, we met our savior!”
Hua Yue finally relaxed. She hadn’t expected that after Xiao Yufan appeared, he had easily dealt with the beast. After all, even the senior apprentice sister had fought it for quite some time.
“Hardly a savior. Now that the task is done, Hua Yue, isn’t it time to fulfill your promise?” Xiao Yufan said with a teasing smile.
“Eh? What promise?”
Biting her red lips, Hua Yue suddenly recalled. Earlier, she had promised that if this man could save her senior sister, he could ask for anything!
But when it came time to fulfill that promise, Hua Yue began to hesitate. If this man asked her to serve him, would she really obey? Men were all no good. No wonder the master forbade them from interacting with outsiders.
Seeing her younger sister’s blushing face, Hua Yun slightly furrowed her brows. Hua Yue was naive, and this was her first time leaving the Hundred Flowers Island. She definitely didn’t want to see her being taken advantage of.
“This friend, my junior sister might have made some promise in desperation to save me. I hope you won’t pressure her. If there’s any loss to you, our Hundred Flowers Island is willing to offer compensation!”
Her melodious voice was charming, but now carried a chill. At this moment, Xiao Yufan had already been placed on Hua Yun’s blacklist.
“Compensation? Then tell me, how exactly do you plan to compensate me?”
A slight smirk curved his lips as Xiao Yufan stared intently at Hua Yun, as if trying to see through the beauty hidden beneath her white veil. Realizing this, Hua Yun’s long lashes couldn’t help but flutter.
Hua Yun was momentarily speechless with indignation. This guy hadn’t even specified what promise Hua Yue made, yet he was already demanding compensation. Did he really think that just because he saved her, he could do whatever he pleased…
“Just by looking, this friend must be an upright person. Even if Hua Yue made any promise, if she’s unwilling, you wouldn’t force her…”
“I’m not an upright person at all. Quite the opposite—I’m a bad guy. There’s nothing I wouldn’t dare to do. Of course, whatever I request, no one can stop me!”
Before Hua Yun could finish speaking, Xiao Yufan had already cut in. Since this woman regarded him as a villain, Xiao Yufan naturally intended to play the villain to the fullest!
Moreover, the reason he did this was to maximize his gains. He was determined to obtain the Tian Zang Flower, but he also didn’t want to provoke too much conflict with the Hundred Flowers Island. However, would this beautiful woman really let go of the treasure hunter so easily?
Indeed, upon hearing Xiao Yufan’s words, Hua Yun’s expression grew even colder, to the point that even Ye Kong and others behind her felt a chill down their spines.
Xiao Yufan’s narrow eyes slowly narrowed further. He believed this beautiful woman would surely be smart enough. If the Hundred Flowers Island fought him, they would gain nothing.
Moreover, within this mysterious land, the Hundred Flowers Island already had the Northern Star Island as an enemy. Naturally, they wouldn’t engage in a major conflict with him. He could already envision the moment this woman would finally give in…
