Chapter 84

Liu Xi was now very excited, and the source of his excitement was the young woman in green standing not far in front of him.

The young woman was dressed in a refined manner, her delicate face unadorned by any makeup, naturally beautiful. Her smooth black hair was casually tied up with a short green scarf, reaching just to her waist. A gentle breeze blew, causing her hair to flutter, stirring the heart.

At the young woman's slender waist, a light purple sash accentuated her graceful curves, so much so that passersby couldn't help but steal glances at her waist, secretly thinking that if they could embrace such a slender waist, it would be a great pleasure.

Liu Xi, his face flushed, looked at the young woman, his hands trembling slightly from excitement. The refined young woman before him was completely different from the women he had played with before. Her ethereal and transcendent aura made Liu Xi, who doted on women, almost wish to snatch her into his arms immediately.

Glancing at Xiao Ning, who had been knocked to the ground by his palm, Liu Xi smiled and said, "Protecting a flower requires some skill, and you still lack it."

Hearing Liu Xi's mockery, Xiao Ning's face turned red, his eyes bloodshot as he glared at Liu Xi, clenching his teeth in anger, wishing he could rush forward and bite him.

"Xiao Ning, come back, you're no match for him," Xiao Yu's face was slightly cold as she stepped forward and softly scolded.

Xiao Ning gritted his teeth, weighing the strength of both sides, and reluctantly retreated. Feeling ashamed in front of the girl he liked, he felt utterly humiliated.

His gaze swept over Xiao Yu, and Liu Xi's eyes brightened as they lingered on her long, slender legs. He couldn't help but praise, "Another exquisite woman, it seems my luck is really good today."

"Hehe, Brother Liu Xi, they are all from the Xiao family. This woman is named Xiao Yu, but her personality is too fiery. A man without some skill can't subdue her," Jialieo, followed by a group of burly men, smiled and said with a lecherous grin.

"Hehe, the fiercer, the better," Liu Xi's gaze shifted back to the young woman in green who had not spoken, his eyes gleaming with a greenish light. "What is this young lady's name?"

Seeing Liu Xi eyeing his crush, Jialieo's lips twitched. After silently cursing this lecherous bastard, he reluctantly replied, "Her name is Xiao Xun'er."

"Good name," Liu Xi nodded with a smile, then took two steps forward and said in a gentlemanly manner, "I am Liu Xi. May I invite the two of you to stroll around the market? Hehe, if there's anything you like in the market, just put it on my tab." As he spoke, he slightly opened his arm, proudly displaying the profession badge on his chest.

The badge depicted an ancient alchemy cauldron, and on its surface, a silver ripple reflected a peculiar light under the sunlight.

"First-grade Alchemist?" Seeing the profession badge on Liu Xi's chest, the crowd gasped in surprise, and these exclamations made Liu Xi's smile grow even wider.

Hearing the words "First-grade Alchemist," Xiao Yu's face changed slightly. However, with her personality, she would never go shopping with such a sly-looking man. She coldly said, "No time, find someone else." Then, she pulled Xun'er and turned to leave.

Just as they turned, several burly men emerged from the crowd, blocking their way with grins.

Seeing the men blocking their path, Xiao Yu's face darkened. She turned and coldly said to Jialieo, "This is our Xiao family's territory. Aren't you being a bit too arrogant?"

"Hehe, the Xiao family? So strong? You just gained some popularity with the Blood Coagulation Powder. If I wanted to, I could easily devastate your Xiao family. The Revitalizing Powder is just a simple healing medicine I made casually," Liu Xi stroked his white sleeve and said smugly.

Hearing this, Xiao Yu's face turned angry, but she didn't shout. Knowing the power of alchemists, she didn't dare to say anything too harsh to avoid unnecessary trouble for the Xiao family.

While Xiao Yu was worried, Xun'er didn't care about these troubles. She only knew that this human-shaped trash was delaying her time to see Xiao Yan.

Lifting her eyes, she looked at the smug Liu Xi and opened her mouth, her clear and melodious voice delivering words that stunned everyone: "Trash is still trash, even if it wears the skin of an alchemist. People like you, who boast about their skills, are what Xiao Yan-gege would call... an idiot."

The street fell silent, and many people were taken aback. This seemingly refined and beautiful young woman could curse just as well as anyone.

Xiao Yu also looked at Xun'er in surprise, and after a while, she sighed, "I told you, you'd be corrupted by that little rascal..."

Being insulted so bluntly in public, Liu Xi, who was not broad-minded, gradually lost his smile and said in a dark voice, "For so many years, you are the first person to speak to me like this."

"Really... such a stupid line."

Rubbing her smooth forehead, Xun'er was almost certain that the person in front of her was either a fool or overly arrogant.

"Jialieo, take action. I was going to use proper means, but she doesn't appreciate it," Liu Xi waved his hand with a dark face and said coldly.

"Uh..." Jialieo was stunned, scratching his head in frustration. He thought, "What is this guy thinking? Father was right, he's good at alchemy but nothing else. Damn, why can such a person become an alchemist?"

Sighing, Jialieo could only laugh dryly, "Brother Liu Xi, our Jialie family can't afford to provoke the Xiao family now."

"The Xiao family?" Liu Xi sneered, "If I can get her, I'll help you truly bring down the Xiao family. Besides the Revitalizing Powder, I can refine two or three other pills. If I do, I guarantee the Xiao family will return to their former state."

Hearing this, Jialieo was stunned again. He didn't expect this guy to reveal his secrets so easily. While secretly rejoicing, he wondered if the lower the IQ, the higher the chance of becoming an alchemist. Jialieo waved his hand, "Seize them!"

Seeing Jialieo give the order, the dozen burly men behind him immediately surrounded Xun'er and the others with fierce expressions.

Seeing their arrogance, Xiao Yu's eyebrows furrowed in anger. She coldly laughed, drew a green whip from her waist, and lashed it at the approaching man. With a "slap," a long blood mark appeared on his face.

Although Xiao Yu was a three-star Fighter, the dozen burly men were also around the Fighter level. After knocking down two or three of them, Xiao Yu gradually fell into a disadvantage, dodging in a rather狼狈 manner.

After knocking another man back with a palm, Xiao Yu's face turned pale as she took a few steps back. She turned to Xiao Ning and shouted, "Take Xun'er and go inside, call that little rascal out!"

Xiao Ning nodded urgently, but his face suddenly changed as he shouted, "Sister, be careful!"

Hearing Xiao Ning's warning, Xiao Yu quickly turned around and saw the man she had whipped earlier raising his iron fist, ready to strike her chest with a fierce expression.

Seeing him attack a woman in such a despicable way, Xiao Yu's face turned livid with anger. She quickly gathered her fighting spirit in her palm, ready to strike, but a black shadow flashed beside her. A fierce wind struck the man's face, and the force sent him sliding back several meters, covered in blood.

"Anyone who moved, cripple them..."

The young man held a steel rod, his eyes cold as he glanced at Liu Xi and Jialieo, his voice calm but menacing.

Hearing the young man's words, dozens of men with similar iron rods in the crowd immediately rushed forward like a pack of wolves, grinning ferociously.
