Top Grade Pure Beauty CEO-Chapter 388 - : If you keep looking at me, I will eat you.

Chapter 388: Chapter 388: If you keep looking at me, I will eat you.

Just as Jiang Lichun once warned Li Xiaoyao, one must never provoke three types of people: Alchemists, Artifact Refiners, and Array Masters.

These three types of people occupy an absolutely powerful position within the community of cultivators.

Spirit Pills and elixirs can only be concocted by Alchemists, and within the entire cultivator community, such individuals only make up a very small portion, which in turn drastically elevates the status of Alchemists.

The same holds true for Artifact Refiners and Array Masters.

If cultivators wish to possess a weapon that fully satisfies them, they must have it inscribed by an Artifact Refiner; otherwise, it will lack spiritual essence.

As for Array Masters, they are perhaps the most revered among these three professions.

Generally, except for a very few powerful individuals who will have Array Masters inscribe formations on their weapons, most cultivators have no dealings with Array Masters. However, typical sects and families will train or spend a great deal of money to have an Array Master stationed within their clan.

Large clan sects will invariably have protective sect formations, and such large-scale formations can only be arranged by Array Masters with profound cultivation levels.

This is why, upon seeing that cluster of golden flames in the palm of Li Xiaoyao’s hand, everyone had such an immense reaction.

At this moment, Yun Feiyang’s mood was like that of being trampled over by ten thousand running alpacas, filled with anger.

The sourc𝗲 of this content is freēwēbηovel.c૦m.

Those foolish subordinates had actually failed to thoroughly investigate Li Xiaoyao’s background.

Here was a man with such formidable cultivation, clearly an Alchemist, yet he was completely unaware of this information.

But it was too late for regrets now. What’s done was done, and unless he humbled himself and begged for mercy and admitted his wrongs, there was no possibility of reconciliation between them.

Yun Feiyang, seeing himself as the number one figure in Ling City, how could he possibly lower himself to beg forgiveness from a young man?

“It seems I was truly short-sighted, your trump card indeed exceeded my expectations,” Yun Feiyang said with a heavy voice, and just when everyone thought he was about to make a move, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, which he rapidly shaped into an umbrella-like shield that enveloped his body and instantly disappeared from the mid-air restaurant.

The mid-air restaurant fell silent, everyone stunned by the sudden turn of events.

What the hell just happened?

Li Xiaoyao also watched speechlessly at where Yun Feiyang had been standing, “He ran away?”

Indeed, he had fled. Yun Feiyang was not a fool; with Li Xiaoyao revealing so many of his trump cards, if he had stayed, what would that have been but courting death?

Xiaoqing curled her lips contemptuously, “Coward.”

The surrounding cultivators heard this comment and couldn’t help but feel ashamed, nearly all of them thinking the same thing.

“Facing a cultivator as powerful as you, it’s not just Yun Feiyang, I reckon anyone in his place would do nothing but run.”

Li Xiaoyao gazed across the river surface, sensing that Zhu Jiuyin had sustained serious injuries.

His eyes slowly swept over the faces of everyone present, and Li Xiaoyao said softly, “Who else wants to lay claim to the Spirit Stone Vein? Step forward now.”

No one spoke.

What a joke, even Yun Feiyang, the number one person in Ling City, had nothing but flight as an option against Li Xiaoyao. Who would dare to step forward under these circumstances?

“Fellow Daoist Li worries too much. Today’s affair was solely because Yun Feiyang, for his own selfish interests, coerced us to come here. In truth, we were all extremely reluctant about this matter. Now that Fellow Daoist Li has subdued Yun Feiyang, we find it immensely satisfying. As for that Spirit Stone Vein, it rightly belongs to Fellow Daoist Li. Naturally, we wouldn’t dream of coveting it.”

“Exactly, the Spirit Stone Vein belongs to Fellow Daoist Li. How could we possibly entertain such thoughts?”

Li Xiaoyao snorted coldly a few times, not believing a single word from these fair-weather friends. If it were he who had been defeated and perished today, he feared these same people would immediately jump out to trample viciously on his corpse, then suck up to Yun Feiyang with flattering tones, hoping he might share some Spirit Stones with them.

Ignoring those who were deliberately fawning, Li Xiaoyao patted Xiaoqing’s head and said, “Let’s go.”

“But I haven’t had my fill yet.” Xiaoqing looked at the table full of cakes and pastries, reluctant to leave.

Li Xiaoyao sighed and said, “We’ll eat something even better when we get back.”

“Really? You can’t lie to me.”

“Really, I’m not lying to you.”

Shaking his head helplessly, Li Xiaoyao wore an expression that said it all. What was this all about? A great demon who had cultivated for thousands of years had been conquered by a few cakes — if the bakery’s owner knew about this, they’d probably jump for joy.

After leaving Jiang Tian Number One, Li Xiaoyao arrived at the riverbank and stood firm.

Xiaoqing asked, “Brother Xiaoyao, are you waiting for that giant snake?”

Looking at her in surprise, Li Xiaoyao asked, “How did you know?”

Pointing at the calm river surface, Xiaoqing said, “Because it’s coming this way.”

Li Xiaoyao stared at her, taken aback by the revelation. This little girl was truly extraordinary; even with just one soul and three spirits, her divine skills were incomparable even to his own.

“Splash!”

A fiery red, long shadow suddenly emerged from the peaceful river surface.

Zhu Jiuyin, looking somewhat languid, came ashore transforming into human form, his pale complexion causing Li Xiaoyao to frown.

Li Xiaoyao took out a pill medicine from his Storage Space and handed it to him, saying, “Eat this.”

Jiuyin took the pill medicine and popped it into his mouth, feeling a warm energy spreading inside him, seeping into his limbs and bones. The injuries in his body were visibly healing at a rate discernible to the naked eye.

Jiuyin looked at Li Xiaoyao in disbelief and asked, “What kind of pill medicine is this?”

“What does it matter what pill it is, as long as it heals,” Li Xiaoyao replied as he turned and walked toward the side of the road, with Jiuyin quickly following.

Jiuyin noticed Xiaoqing beside Li Xiaoyao, and for some reason, despite her harmless appearance, sweet and innocent, Jiuyin felt the hair on his body stand on end, as though he was facing a great threat.

“Master, who is she?” Jiuyin cautiously asked.

“Her?” Li Xiaoyao said, “She’s called Xiaoqing, my friend.”

“Your friend?” Jiuyin swallowed hard and asked, “Is she not human?”

Noticing his discomfort, Li Xiaoyao casually mentioned, “Mhm, like you, her original form is that of a snake.”

Jiuyin thought to himself, “She must be an incredibly powerful snake demon. The moment I saw her, I felt an urge to kneel.”

Xiaoqing’s delicate brows furrowed slightly; she suddenly stopped, turned around, and looked at Jiuyin, who was staring at her. With a voice as sweet as a baby’s, but with clear dissatisfaction, she said, “Little bug, if you keep staring at me, I’ll eat you.”

Jiuyin immediately shuddered; Xiaoqing’s cute appearance in his eyes was as daunting as a fierce tiger.

“I won’t look, I won’t look,” Jiuyin said, shaking his head repeatedly like a docile little sheep, hanging his head low as he followed behind, no longer daring to let his gaze wander over her.
