Chapter 9: The Three Year Engagement
To be honest, Nalan Yanran only wanted to break off the engagement, not to kill anyone. Otherwise, she could have hired a Dou Spirit-level assassin to silently eliminate Xiao Feng.
Now, hearing Xiao Feng's words, Nalan Yanran realized that her actions had caused such great harm to the Xiao family. No wonder he was fighting so desperately against her!
"Nalan Yanran, my grandfather and your grandfather were life-and-death friends, and the Nalan family and the Xiao family have been family friends for generations."
Xiao Feng's face was as cold as frost as he said, "If you really succeed in breaking off the engagement today, the Xiao family and the Nalan family will surely become enemies. Perhaps you won't care about our Xiao family. But I can guarantee you that as long as I am alive, I will repay the humiliation the Xiao family has suffered a hundredfold to the Nalan family and the Yunlan Sect."
"..."
Hearing this, Ge Ye's face changed slightly.
In the past, Ge Ye might have thought that Xiao Feng was ignorant of the heights of heaven and earth, but now seeing how ruthless he was even towards himself, he couldn't help but feel a bit of dread. It was best not to make enemies with such a ruthless person like Xiao Feng. Even if one had to be his enemy, it was essential to uproot him completely, lest he grow into a major threat.
"Nalan Yanran, perhaps in your eyes, I am not worthy of someone like you, a proud daughter of heaven."
Xiao Feng said disdainfully, "But you don't realize that someone like you, who acts recklessly and only knows how to make enemies for your family and sect, is even less worthy of being my wife. I don't want the Xiao family to be exterminated because of you one day!"
"You... you..."
Hearing this, Nalan Yanran's pretty face turned red and white with anger, but she had no way to refute him.
"Xiao Feng, are you still a man? How can you be so aggressive towards Junior Sister Yanran!"
Seeing this, Mo Li, who was acting as the protector, couldn't help but shout at Xiao Feng, "What kind of skill is it to bully a girl? If you have the ability, fight me!"
"Hahaha..."
Faced with Mo Li's clumsy provocation, Xiao Feng shook his head with a smile and said, "You people from the Yunlan Sect really opened my eyes! If the younger ones can't win, the older ones jump out for revenge? Truly, one becomes red by being near cinnabar, and black by being near ink!"
"Xiao Feng, you..."
"Shut up!"
Before Mo Li could finish his words, Nalan Yanran, ashamed and angry, interrupted him, "Are you trying to embarrass me even more?"
Seeing his goddess angry, Mo Li, the loyal follower, panicked and quickly explained, "Junior Sister Yanran, I didn't mean it that way. I... I wanted to help you!"
"Xiao Feng, I admit I underestimated you. You are much more outstanding than I imagined, but that doesn't mean I am willing to marry you."
Ignoring Mo Li, Nalan Yanran walked up to Xiao Feng, showing a somewhat complicated expression, and said, "Do you dare to make a three-year agreement with me? In three years, we will fight again at the Yunlan Sect. If you lose, our engagement will be annulled. If you win, I will be at your disposal, as a servant or maid, with no complaints!"
Although Nalan Yanran lost to Xiao Feng, she felt that Xiao Feng had used some tricks and was not truly stronger than her, so she was unwilling to accept it! Unfortunately, Xiao Feng had already been crippled in one arm, so Nalan Yanran couldn't just fight him again. She had to make a three-year agreement.
Regardless of who won or lost the three-year agreement, just being able to postpone the engagement for three years was already a big win for Nalan Yanran.
"Alright!"
Xiao Feng's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said meaningfully, "I'll grant you this. Just don't regret it in the future."
"I won't regret it!"
After speaking, Nalan Yanran didn't have the will to stay in the Xiao family any longer and left with Ge Ye and the others.
After Nalan Yanran and the others left, Xiao Zhan quickly had Xiao Yan and Xiao Xun'er help Xiao Feng to heal.
"Xun'er, you stay here and watch over my brother. I'll go get Doctor Wang."
Just as Xiao Yan was about to leave, Xiao Feng suddenly stopped him, "Xiao Yan, there's no need to get Doctor Wang. My wound has already healed."
!!!∑(Дノ)ノ
In the shocked gazes of Xiao Yan and Xiao Xun'er, Xiao Feng tore off his tattered sleeve, unwrapped the blood-stained white bandage, and revealed his unharmed left arm.
"What's going on?"
Xiao Yan quickly walked to Xiao Feng's side, grabbed his arm, and inspected it, unable to help but doubt, "Brother, were you faking it earlier?"
"Impossible!"
Xiao Xun'er shook her head without hesitation, "Brother Feng wasn't faking it. I personally bandaged his wound earlier. His arm was really pierced by Nalan Yanran's sword."
"Alright, there's no need to be too surprised. I just have a strong recovery ability."
Seeing the puzzled expressions on Xiao Yan and Xiao Xun'er, Xiao Feng smiled and explained, "I only discovered this not long ago. Ever since my cultivation broke through to a one-star Dou Practitioner, my recovery ability has suddenly become much stronger. Ordinary small injuries can heal in a few breaths. If you don't believe me, look."
After saying that, Xiao Feng bit his index finger and then wiped off the blood, showing it to the two of them.
Seeing Xiao Feng's index finger heal at a visible speed, Xiao Yan and Xiao Xun'er finally believed him.
"What a monstrous recovery ability!"
Xiao Yan couldn't help but curse, then touched his chin and wondered, "But why have I never heard that breaking through to a one-star Dou Practitioner can greatly enhance recovery ability?"
"If I'm not mistaken, Brother Feng might have awakened some special physique, which is why his recovery ability has increased so much."
Compared to Xiao Yan, Xiao Xun'er was much more knowledgeable. She knew that there were many miraculous physiques in the world. For example, the Woeful Poison Body, the Green Snake Three Flower Eyes, and the Three Thousand Star Body.
Among them, the Three Thousand Star Body was also known as the "Immortal Body," which could absorb the power of stars to strengthen oneself or heal wounds, possessing unimaginable recovery ability.
Xiao Xun'er couldn't help but ask curiously, "Brother Feng, besides stronger recovery ability, do you feel any other changes in your body?"
"Uh..."
Xiao Feng frowned in a seemingly troubled manner and then said uncertainty, "I feel like there's a special power hidden in my body, but I haven't been able to use it yet."
Xiao Feng said this to lay the groundwork for using the Armored Titan's power in the future. After all, the Armored Titan's body was too large. Unless Xiao Feng never transformed, this ability would definitely be exposed.
Hearing Xiao Feng's words, Xiao Xun'er became more convinced of her guess, thinking that he might have awakened some special physique. The Xiao family was once one of the ancient eight clans. Although it had declined, it was not unusual for a few geniuses with special physiques to occasionally appear.
"Brother, we are twins!"
After recovering from the shock, Xiao Yan suddenly became excited and said, "Since you have awakened a special physique, does that mean I can also awaken such a physique in the future?"
