Chapter 19: IOU

The Cat Demon was originally a Tier 3 Phantom Demon, and after absorbing the Gouxiong Huan Yao, its strength reached the peak of Tier 3, far surpassing that of Fairy Feng.

Their palms collided, and Fairy Feng was immediately knocked back three steps, while the Cat Demon stood motionless in place.

The Cat Demon stood with hands behind its back, the black clothing accentuating its perfect figure to be even more alluring; with its prominent chest and rounded hips, it was truly a stunning femme fatale.

Although its looks could not rival Fairy Feng's, its figure was an absolute, crushing victory over hers.

"Who is this woman? I've never heard of such a beautiful, voluptuous lady."

"This figure, it's just too tempting!"

"I still feel Fairy Feng is better looking..."

Seeing two beauties fighting, the onlookers completely forgot the origin of the matter; the beauties were the real focus.

Who was fighting whom, and why they were fighting, was completely unimportant to them.

"Keep fighting... why did you stop?"

Seeing the two fairies standing still, someone couldn't help but urge them on, only to be met with hostile glares from both women, scaring him into quickly lowering his head and hiding in the crowd.

"Senior Sister, ignore this beauty and go kill that bastard."

Supported by Yu Chang, Shi Haochi walked to Feng Jingting's side and pointed directly at Yan Xiao, cursing.

After speaking, his gaze lingered on the Cat Demon's figure with a lecherous look, having even forgotten the injury on his backside.

"After killing him, capture this woman, and bring the little girl behind him back with you as well."

Seeing Qingxue behind Yan Xiao, Shi Haochi's eyes lit up again, and he revealed an excited expression.

Yan Xiao was so angry he laughed; daring to scheme against Qingxue, he was courting death.

"Fairy Feng, do you know what's going on now?

It wasn't me being unreasonable."

Yan Xiao's gaze toward Shi Haochi gradually turned cold.

Fairy Feng bit her lip, saying nothing.

She naturally knew the filthy thoughts in her junior brother's heart; within the sect, he had ruined countless junior sisters and maids.

Yet Shi Yaoqian only had this one son, and he doted on him excessively.

Shi Yaoqian had a great debt of gratitude to her Feng Family, and the elders on both sides wanted to arrange a marriage between her and Shi Haochi.

But she didn't like this playboy at all; in fact, she detested him.

Now that Shi Haochi was actually asking her to help capture women, it made her feel extreme disgust.

Seeing Feng Jingting standing there and hesitating to act, Shi Haochi chuckled, took Fairy Feng's hand, and said, "Senior Sister, if you're in a difficult position, then forget it; as long as you agree to marry me, I promise not to philander or act recklessly anymore.

I will let them go, and at the same time, I will no longer make things difficult for the Feng Family."

"Actually, everything I've done is because of you; you rejected the marriage proposal, which made me very sad, and that's why I gave up on myself and did so many absurd things. In truth, I only have you in my heart!

Senior Sister, I actually love you."

Shi Haochi was not stupid at all; everything he had done was to force Feng Jingting's hand.

Yan Xiao just happened to be used as a tool.

Upon hearing this, Feng Jingting was so angry her whole body trembled.

She had grievances she could not voice.

Shi Haochi was actually pinning all his sins on her.

Thinking of the junior sister who had been toyed with to death by him, Feng Jingting almost couldn't suppress the killing intent in her heart.

Feng Jingting gripped the Qingfeng Longsword tightly; for the sake of the Feng Family and to repay the debt of gratitude, she endured again and again, yielding time after time.

Yet her junior brother kept pushing her.

"Senior Sister, I have people protecting me in the shadows; since the mask is off, I'm not afraid to tell you: if Senior Sister doesn't agree, the Yuhua Sect will no longer offer aid for the Feng Family's crisis."

Shi Haochi stroked Feng Jingting's small hand and said softly.

Feng Jingting's body shuddered, suppressing the anger in her heart; she seemed on the verge of yielding.

The shift in the situation was so sudden that everyone was caught off guard, all staring at Shi Haochi and Fairy Feng in utter confusion.

How did a perfectly good fight suddenly turn into a heartfelt confession?

Seeing Shi Haochi actually holding Fairy Feng's jade hand, many men felt a sourness in their hearts.

They dared to be angry but dared not speak.

Yan Xiao was not far from the two, and he heard their conversation clearly.

Yan Xiao was very depressed; he had originally wanted to go to Luoyue City to find a powerful sect and apprentice himself to learn some skills.

As a result, he was provoked before he even entered the city gates.

"So I'm being used as cannon fodder by Shi Haochi.

Out of so many people, you didn't pick anyone else, but you had to pick me; your luck is not very good. You should know, I'm someone with a system.

I am the protagonist of this world!

Shi Haochi is undoubtedly the villain."

Preparing to show off.

Yan Xiao rubbed his nose and gave a dry cough, interrupting Shi Haochi's nauseating words, "Ahem—say, we haven't resolved our business yet, have we?"

"You were being unreasonable, and you still want to scheme against my maid sister; you think you can just let it go like this?"

Yan Xiao did not let go of Qingxue, but instead pulled her and walked slowly toward Shi Haochi.

Everyone looked at Yan Xiao in surprise, secretly thinking if this kid had been kicked by a donkey; knowing full well that the man was using him, he still dared to charge forward?

Could he really be a great cultivator of the Cave Profound Realm?

Shi Haochi was also stunned; just as Fairy Feng was about to give in and become his captive, this kid actually came out to cause trouble. He truly didn't know what was good for him.

"Third Uncle, kill him!"

Shi Haochi changed his usual demeanor, looking at Yan Xiao with vicious eyes as he spoke.

A sword broke through the air, shooting over rapidly from a distance, flying the sword to slay the enemy.

The sword tip pointed straight at Yan Xiao's heart.

Yan Xiao smiled, took Qingxue by the hand, and vanished from the spot in an instant, then emerged from the ground, having already arrived behind Shi Haochi.

The Magic Sword was enchanted, and the blade was already resting against Shi Haochi's neck.

Earth Escape Technique!

Seeing Yan Xiao's bizarre movement technique, the crowd felt suspicious and uncertain.

Fear Value from a group of people +300.

Fear Value from Shi Haochi +300.

"Let go of our Young Master."

Shi Xingfeng, who had arrived flying his sword, could not help but be furious upon seeing that Shi Haochi had already been taken hostage by Yan Xiao.

"You wouldn't dare kill me!"

Shi Haochi feigned composure, attempting to turn around.

"Is that so?"

Yan Xiao lightly moved the Magic Sword, the sharp blade slicing through Shi Haochi's neck; if he used just a little more force, Shi Haochi would undoubtedly die.

Fear Value from Shi Haochi +500.

Fear Value from Yu Chang +10.

Fear Value from Shi Xingfeng +300.

"Let him go, and I will let you leave."

Fairy Feng only then reacted, looking at Yan Xiao with a complex gaze.

"Silly woman!"

Yan Xiao rolled his eyes at her and ignored her.

"You...!"

Feng Jingting looked at him in annoyance; this person was truly ungrateful.

"Young man, do you know who it is you are holding hostage?" Shi Xingfeng said in a deep voice.

"The Young Master of the Yuhua Sect, I know that." Yan Xiao said with a smile.

"Knowing that, you still dare to be presumptuous? If you are seeking your own death, don't implicate your family."

Shi Xingfeng threatened, releasing his Foundation Establishment peak cultivation to exert pressure on Yan Xiao.

"When he set his sights on my younger sister and maid, our fates were destined to be locked in a struggle to the death. Am I right, Young Master Shi Haochi?"

Yan Xiao patted Shi Haochi's head and asked coldly.

"I only wanted to use you to move my senior sister; I had no other intentions."

Shi Haochi retorted; he dared not admit to his own sordid thoughts.

"If you let me go, I will have my father give you magic treasures and Spirit Pill; you can have whatever you want." Shi Haochi begged for mercy.

Though he said this with his mouth, in his heart he was thinking, "Once you let me go, see if I don't kill you, and humiliate your sister and maid right in front of you, making you wish you were dead."
