Chapter 90: Cao Ying: This young lady would like to have a deep discussion with you!

【Xiao Yixian experiences jealousy and suspicion, Emotion Value +120】

Hearing this system prompt, a black line could not help but appear on Gu Fei's forehead: "When did this girl become so sensitive..."

He met Xiao Yixian's gaze and responded with a smile: "I met her once during the day when I went to the Pill Tower to discuss matters with Xuan Kongzi!"

"Just 'met once'? Can that be enough to make a woman who looks like a temptress greet you so enthusiastically on the street?"

Hearing Gu Fei's words, Xiao Yixian still felt somewhat uneasy in her heart.

But in the end, she chose to trust Gu Fei.

Because Gu Fei's attitude toward that woman was very indifferent; even if that woman had any improper thoughts, it was merely wishful thinking.

On the contrary, it proved that her Brother Gu Fei was very charming!

"What a coincidence, Miss Cao Ying, I still have things to do, I'll be going first!"

Gu Fei greeted Cao Ying nonchalantly and then prepared to walk away.

Seeing Gu Fei respond to Cao Ying in this way, Xiao Yixian felt much more at ease again.

She affectionately pressed closer to Gu Fei, the two of them walking shoulder to shoulder, preparing to leave together with Qing Lin, who was watching this scene blankly from the side.

"Young Master Gu Fei, please wait."

Just as Gu Fei took a step, a charming, delicate voice rang out from behind him.

Gu Fei frowned, his footsteps paused slightly, and he turned his head to look at Cao Ying's enchanting and moving face: "Does Miss Cao Ying have something to say?"

Although Gu Fei was smiling on the surface, Cao Ying could see clearly that the smile did not reach his eyes.

Cao Ying's eyes rippled, her glances naturally charming, possessing a temptation that made it impossible for people to look away. She covered her mouth and smiled: "We didn't have a deep conversation when we met last time. Now that there is time, why not chat for a while?"

Hearing Cao Ying actually extend an invitation, Gu Fei raised an eyebrow. This momentary pause was naturally noticed by Xiao Yixian beside him.

【Xiao Yixian experiences nervousness, Emotion Value +100】

Immediately, she did not hide it, generously taking Gu Fei's arm. The two stood intimately, seemingly declaring her sovereignty to Cao Ying.

As the two women's gazes crossed, undercurrents surged.

Xiao Yixian's appearance, while not as enchanting as Cao Ying's.

Yet it exuded a heartwarming gentleness, ethereal and soft like a fairy.

If Cao Ying was a charming and enchanting demoness, then Xiao Yixian was a fairy who had fallen into the mortal world...

The two women had completely different temperaments, yet both were equally fascinating.

"I think there is no need for that!"

Gu Fei naturally noticed Xiao Yixian's mood and directly rejected Cao Ying.

Such a rejection was undoubtedly like a basin of cold water poured onto Cao Ying.

【Cao Ying experiences surprise and frustration, Emotion Value +60】

Cao Ying had always been proud. In this Dan Region filled with countless geniuses, there had not yet been a man she looked up to. Usually, as long as she spoke, countless men would swarm over to curry favor.

But Gu Fei ignored her time and time again, rejecting her time and time again, which made Cao Ying feel a bit embarrassed while simultaneously igniting a strange flame in her heart.

"Young Master Gu Fei, I heard from my teacher that you are also an Alchemist. Actually, I came here today because I want to spar with you!"

Cao Ying hid the emotions in her heart and spoke again.

"Spar?"

Hearing Cao Ying's words, Gu Fei laughed softly, his gaze resting calmly on her, making it impossible to tell whether he was happy or simply disdainful of it.

"Of course, this spar is not a competition of cultivation, but a competition of souls!"

Cao Ying smiled sweetly, her exquisite face revealing a moving charm.

This woman was like a fox spirit capable of bringing disaster to the country and the people; with every movement and smile, she was enough to drive men crazy.

The surrounding men had their gazes almost entirely focused on her.

That charming and moving face, the enchanting figure that could not be hidden under the tight black dress, and the soft voice—every point could attract the eyes of a large crowd of men nearby.

Cao Ying was an extremely famous existence in Shengdan Cheng; after all, her talent for alchemy was truly monstrous. Some passersby recognized Cao Ying and could not help but exclaim in their hearts, then their gazes fell upon Gu Fei, who was opposite Cao Ying.

Who exactly was this person, to be able to make the demoness Cao Ying take the initiative to challenge him? Cao Ying's bewitching smile was indeed very effective, and Gu Fei's eyes also showed a moment of appreciation. However, facing her desire to spar, he only replied faintly: "You are not qualified yet!"

Gu Fei's words did not carry the slightest bit of discrimination, but were his true thoughts.

After all, in Gu Fei's perception, Cao Ying was currently only at the early stage of the Late Stage of Mortal Realm Soul, which was like the difference between heaven and earth compared to his Spirit Realm Soul, with absolutely no comparability.

How could an ant and an elephant be mentioned in the same breath?

【Cao Ying experiences slight anger, Emotion Value +60】

Gu Fei's blunt words undoubtedly made Cao Ying feel slighted.

She calmly reached out to brush away a strand of dark hair falling in front of her forehead, but the smile on her enchanting face became even more charming.

"Young Master Gu Fei, please enlighten me!"

Cao Ying continued to be thick-skinned.

As the words fell, she did not wait for Gu Fei to respond.

Those fair and delicate hands quietly formed hand seals, then suddenly condensed! As the hand seals formed, the soul power swirling around her body condensed rapidly, turning into a Soul Phoenix in the blink of an eye.

The phoenix flapped its wings, and the space twisted rapidly. As the flapping speed increased, faint, tiny, pitch-black space cracks even spread out around it.

"As expected of a demoness..."

"I heard that after she came out of seclusion last time, her cultivation and soul power improved quite a bit. This Soul Phoenix right now is truly terrifying!"

The surrounding crowd saw the might of the Soul Phoenix, their expressions changed, and they retreated one after another.

At this moment, Cao Ying also revealed a confident smile, waving her jade hand, intending to control the Soul Phoenix to press down toward Gu Fei's side.

"Disperse!"

Gu Fei gave a light shout, watching the Soul Phoenix with a calm expression.

Immediately, an invisible soul storm was born, instantly shredding the phoenix in the sky.

In the blink of an eye, the Soul Phoenix was torn to shreds, turning into many faint specks of fluorescent light, and soon vanished without a trace.

This happened too quickly, too suddenly; the seemingly powerful phoenix had no power to fight back at all when facing Gu Fei.

Moreover, Gu Fei had not even raised a hand, merely spitting out a single word...

【Cao Ying experiences shock, Emotion Value +100】

A trickle of blood spilled from the corner of Cao Ying's mouth; feeling the soul storm that had just appeared, her eyes were filled with shock.

"I never imagined he had truly reached that step; he is still so young, how on earth did he do it!"

【Cao Ying experiences yearning, Emotion Value +60】

A look of yearning appeared in Cao Ying's eyes.

That realm was the goal she had been striving to pursue all these years.

"It was presumptuous of me just now!"

The next moment, she wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and smiled as she cupped her hands toward Gu Fei: "Many thanks to Young Master Gu Fei for showing mercy!"

To tell the truth, this contest with Gu Fei was lost far too quickly, so quickly that she had no power to fight back, being effortlessly crushed by Gu Fei.

However, failure was not entirely a bad thing; it would be helpful for her future cultivation.

"Your natural talent is not bad!"

"If you can settle your heart, your future achievements will be quite good!"

Seeing Cao Ying's attitude of admitting her mistake, Gu Fei nodded slightly, not angry because of her sudden attack just now.

After speaking, he turned around without hesitation and continued strolling through the streets with Xiao Yixian and the others.
