What Do You Call a Benevolent and Reasonable Person in Xianxia? An Impossibility!

Ya Fei knew very well that Xiao Yan only adhered to formalities when facing outsiders.

Even though the two of them had known each other for three years, the way Xiao Yan showed his respect towards her still left Ya Fei feeling slightly annoyed.

Ya Fei’s words caused Xiao Yan to hesitate for a moment before awkwardly lowering his hands.

“Ya Fei, Xiao Yan would like to borrow a first-grade wood attribute monster core, and I will return it in the future…”

“Stop, the word ‘borrow’ really makes me feel uncomfortable inside.”

Once again, Ya Fei interrupted Xiao Yan’s words, crossed her arms, and motioned to her guard. The guard nodded and went back into the auction house, returning shortly with a black silk box.

“It’s just a first-grade monster core. I’ll give it to you for free, little brother!”

Ya Fei reached out and took the silk box from her guard’s hand, tossing it to Xiao Yan, who caught it somewhat nervously. There was a glimmer of joy in his eyes.

But then Xiao Yan’s face became serious, and he was about to bow and express his gratitude when Ya Fei lightly touched his lips with her delicate finger.

“No need to thank me. I did it because I wanted to. If it were anyone else kneeling and begging, I wouldn’t have given it to them. If you recognize me as your older sister, don’t bother with these empty gestures. Just take it and be at ease.”

“… ”

Xiao Yan stood there dumbfounded, his hands still hovering in the air, unsure of what to do.

Seeing his awkward expression, Ya Fei gave him a seductive smile and reached out to lightly stroke his chin, whispering, “It’s because you’re so cute that I can’t get enough of you~”

“Eh?”

Xiao Yan froze, still processing what had just happened, as Ya Fei leaned in to his side and lightly kissed his cheek, leaving a lingering fragrance.

“Come visit your older sister again next time~”

With a wave of her hand and a charming smile, Ya Fei turned and walked back into the auction house, leaving Xiao Yan and his two companions stunned in place, motionless for several seconds.

After a dozen seconds or so, the three of them finally snapped out of it. But Xiao Mei was particularly agitated.

“That damn Vixen!!!”

She exclaimed, charging towards the auction house with an unrelenting aura, determined to settle the score with Ya Fei!

Fortunately, Xiao Yan reacted in time and grabbed Xiao Mei, admonishing her in a low voice.

“Don’t make a scene!”

“But that woman! She…she just…” Xiao Mei looked at Xiao Yan with a grievance, too angry to speak in complete sentences. Seeing this, Xiao Xun’er quickly stepped forward to block Xiao Mei and asked Xiao Yan.

“Brother Xiao Yan, do you need to buy anything else?”

“I’ve got everything I need.” Xiao Yan put the black velvet box into his bag and smiled at Xiao Mei and Xiao Xun’er. “Since we don’t have training today, I’ll accompany you guys to go shopping.”

As soon as he said this, Xiao Mei’s angry expression softened and she looked at Xiao Yan in pleasant surprise, confirming with him.

“Really?!”

“Really.”

Xiao Yan nodded with a smile, and then Xiao Mei cheered and pulled Xiao Yan’s hand, running towards the marketplace.

“Let’s go then! I have so many things I want to buy today!”

“Slow down~”

Watching Xiao Yan being pulled away by Xiao Mei, Xiao Xun’er covered her mouth and laughed lightly, following them with light steps.
