Chapter 769: Kids Speak Freely~

"Bai Zifeng, where are you going?"

Ye Qingran's peripheral glance saw Bai Zifeng about to slip away, and she asked with a faint smile.

Bai Zifeng's steps stiffened.

Originally, he and Ye Qingran were just betting, with no oath; as long as he walked away without reneging, he wouldn't be punished, but he didn't expect Ye Qingran to discover it.

"What does it have to do with you?"

Ye Qingran gave a slight nod and said, "Indeed it's unrelated to me, but you lost; remember to honor the agreement."

Bai Zifeng clenched the fist in his sleeve; honor the agreement? No way!

He is the unparalleled prodigy of the Bai Tribe; how could he possibly become a servant of a Yun Tribe person?

Dream on!

"What Bet Agreement? Did I ever promise you anything?"

Bai Zifeng spread his hands, intending to flat‑out deny it.

Ye Qingran lifted a brow and said, "Planning to renege?"

"What reneging, Ye Qingran, who are you slandering?"

Bai Zifeng said, let out a cold snort, and strode toward the outside of the Flame Flow Domain.

"Second Uncle, Third Uncle, it's up to you!"

Just as Bai Zifeng stepped out of the Barrier of the Flame Flow Domain, a towering figure blocked his path; he saw it was Yun Zhongyue, his eyes flickered, and he hurried to turn back into the Barrier, but as he turned, a wall of flesh barred his retreat.

It was Yun Zhongge.

"Y‑you, what are you trying to do?" Bai Zifeng was trapped, his face showing fear.

"What? What do you think?" Yun Zhongyue crossed arms, laughing coldly.

"Honor the agreement!" Yun Zhongge said blandly, leaving no room for objection.

"Impossible!" Bai Zifeng gritted his teeth and refused.

"If you won't honor it, then we'll keep beating you until you agree!"

Immediately, the two uncles made their move.

Even as the Bai Tribe's unparalleled prodigy, Bai Zifeng was nothing but a little brother before the two uncles.

"Yun Zhongyue, Yun Zhongge, let him go! Aren't you afraid our Bai Tribe Clan Leader will come to Yunzhong City and find you?"

"Come on, Yunzhong City doesn't scare us a bit!"

The Bai Tribe members were choked with anger, while the onlookers around were enamored with Yun Zhongyue and Yun Zhongge, finding the uncles both handsome and charismatic, even more powerful.

Before long, Bai Zifeng was battered black‑and‑blue.

"Honor the agreement?"

"... No!"

Bai Zifeng remained stubborn.

"Seems we're still too gentle!" Yun Zhongyue curled a mischievous smile, raised an eyebrow at Yun Zhongge, "Kickball, you in?"

Kickball?

What are you trying to do?

"Come!"

Then everyone in the Flame Flow Domain was shocked to see the Bai Tribe's unparalleled prodigy Bai Zifeng turned into a ball, being kicked back and forth by the two Yun Tribe uncles...

All eyes followed Bai Zifeng as he rolled from one side to the other, then back again.

"Stop! I... will honor it!"

After enduring the agony of vomiting blood and bile, nearly spitting out his internal organs, Bai Zifeng lowered his proud head.

"I swear!"

Under the two uncles' supervision, Bai Zifeng swore before everyone that from today he would become Ye Qingran's servant for three years!

The crowd fell silent, each sighing.

Bai Zifeng, a direct‑line genius of the Bai Tribe, had become the servant of the Yun Tribe's Daughter of the Cloud Spirit, Ye Qingran; this not only ruined his own face but also disgraced the Bai Tribe.

"If you fulfill it earlier, wouldn't you suffer less? Why be so stubborn?"

Ye Qingran shook her head helplessly.

Pfft~

As the words fell, Bai Zifeng spat out a mouthful of blood.

Murderous resolve!

In an inconspicuous corner of the crowd, a figure dressed in black with a dark cloak looked extremely mysterious.

"So you are Ye Qingran."

It was a woman's voice, crisp and pleasant, like celestial music.

A gentle breeze rose, lifting the light veil around her cloak, revealing half a face whose beauty could dim heaven and earth.

Boom Boom Boom~

Suddenly, from the direction of the Soul Domain came a commotion, the ground trembling as if an earthquake, and everyone was shocked.

"What's happening? Is something wrong with the Soul Domain?"

Everyone's gaze stretched toward the distant Soul Domain.

Ye Qingran stared at the Soul Domain direction, and for some unknown reason an ominous premonition rose in her heart, impossible to suppress.

"Let's go and take a look."

Not only Ye Qingran's party, but almost everyone converged toward the Soul Domain from the Heavenly Thunder Domain, Flame Flow Domain, Vitality Domain, and Ice Domain.

Feng Xiaohuo, enthralled by Xiao Chen, had no intention of leaving, and naturally followed Ye Qingran's group to the Soul Domain.

However, the young girl kept saying she liked Xiao Chen and wanted to ask him out, yet she was very proper, standing by Xiao Chen without ever having any physical contact with him; this actually made Ye Qingran look at her with newfound respect.

Heaven knows, she thought that with Feng Xiaohuo's temperament she would just hug Xiao Chen and plant a fierce kiss!

The so‑called Soul Domain is actually a mass of black dense fog; from the outside it looks small, but once you step inside you find a hidden realm, another world within.

The Soul Domain kept trembling; when everyone reached its edge, the movement began to wane and finally vanished.

Many people hesitated for a while, but ultimately chose to enter the Soul Domain to see what lay inside.

"Feng Xiaohuo, we're about to enter the Soul Domain. Won't you wait here for your mother?"

"I'll go with you all."

"Your mother would worry if she can't find you."

"You're wrong; my mother would be happy if she can't find me."

Everyone: "???"

Feng Xiaohuo shrugged indifferently, "My mother says I'm already a six‑year‑old adult, should be able to protect myself, go home on my own, and not run to her whenever something happens."

A six‑year‑old adult? Protect oneself? Go home alone?

Are there really mothers this unreliable in the world?

Everyone began to rib Feng Xianyin.

Feng Xiaohuo defended her mother, "My mother isn't as bad as you say! She hasn't abandoned me. She said that when I get married, I can go find her and she'll prepare a dowry for me."

Everyone: "......"

Saying that is worse than not saying it!

"Xiao Chen, why don't you marry me? Then we could go ask my mother for a dowry ahead of time!"

Xiao Chen opened his mouth, a rare shock flashing in his eyes.

He could hardly imagine such words coming from a six‑year‑old girl's mouth.

Ye Qingran no longer knew how to describe her feelings; her own son, only six, was being proposed to!

Feng Xiaohuo clearly didn't think her words were that shocking and continued, "Let me tell you a secret: the dowry my mother prepared includes treasures left by my father, all good stuff!"

"I don't want it!" Xiao Chen wore a stern face, tightly pursing his lips.

He certainly didn't want to marry Feng Xiaohuo!

They barely know each other!

Besides, his mother said he's still just a child, not of marriage‑talking age!

And besides, he'll later want a wife like his mother!

"I see..." Disappointment flickered in Feng Xiaohuo's eyes, but the next second she was full of confidence, "If that's the case, I'll ask you again next year. We're still young; with time, you'll eventually agree, right?"

Ye Qingran was stunned by Feng Xiaohuo's famous line.

Where on earth did this treasure‑trove girl come from? She's just too cute!

Xiao Chen pursed his lips, saying nothing.

Whether Feng Xiaohuo asks next year or the year after, his answer will be the same.

Besides, who knows if she'll forget about this next year?

What Xiao Chen didn't know is that Feng Xiaohuo always kept her word, and for many years to come she would fulfill her promise, asking Xiao Chen once each year.
