Ye Feng didn't hesitate as he accompanied Xiao Yixian through the VIP passage, quickly vanishing from the crowd's attention.
This was the Black Corner Region—a chaotic, unforgiving land. Although Xiao Yixian was known as the Sky Poison Girl, most factions here weren't actively hostile toward her. As long as she didn't kill their people, they preferred to turn a blind eye to her notorious identity.
"Hah... those people just now were terrifying," muttered the green-robed elder, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead as he stared at the retreating figures. "Especially the Sky Poison Girl and that transformed Spirit Beast. Standing near her, I felt like the spirit energy in my body stopped circulating... She's undoubtedly a Dou Zong."
"And that purple-haired woman," another elder added gravely. "I, a dignified Dou Wang, couldn't even sense her cultivation. Then there's the black-robed youth at the lead... Even though I couldn't read his aura, the fact that even the Sky Poison Girl walks behind him says everything. He must be at least a Dou Zong. To reach that level at such a young age... Even our young master pales in comparison."
"I've never seen or heard of anyone like him here in the Black Corner Region," the third elder murmured, frowning. "Gray hair, gray eyes..."
The green-robed elder suddenly froze. "Wait. Wasn't the Chaos Saint who caused a stir at Jia Nan Academy and gave out opportunities in Dingfeng Mountain said to have gray hair and gray eyes too?" He gasped and immediately sent a spiritual message to the sect master of the Black Emperor Sect.
After notifying the sect, the three elders returned their gaze to the entrance just in time to see another group of people arrive—visibly powerful, their expressions calm.
Ye Feng led Ya Fei, Xiao Yixian, Zi Yan, and the two Amethyst Winged Lion Kings through the auction venue—a grand and extravagant building, nearly the size of a fortress.
The crowd inside was beyond count. The auction hall dwarfed the Miteer Auction House of Wutan City like a watermelon to a sesame seed. It was bustling, filled with the buzzing chatter of powerhouses and spectators alike.
As soon as they emerged from the VIP passage, a beautiful maid with alluring features and barely-there clothing approached them with a professional smile.
"Honored guests, do you have a jade token for the VIP seats?" she asked with a graceful bow.
Ye Feng's gaze briefly swept over the maid. Her outfit, though technically clothing, was more suggestive than practical—transparent in key areas, clearly chosen to tease. It wasn't hard to guess that the Black Emperor Sect had planned this deliberately.
Xiao Yixian calmly produced the jade token, and the maid's respectful smile deepened. She bowed again and gestured ahead. "This way, my lords. Please follow me."
With a slight sway of her waist, she began to lead the way.
Ya Fei noticed Ye Feng's brief glance and leaned in. "Young Master Ye, would you like me to keep her?"
Ye Feng raised an eyebrow. "Keep her? Why would I do that?"
"I saw the way you looked at her. Thought you were interested."
"I was just curious." Ye Feng chuckled. "Outfits like that don't appeal to me. They're designed to catch the eye of perverts. To me, women are like flowers—the most tempting ones are the ones that strike a balance between mystery and allure."
"Mystery and allure, huh?" Ya Fei smirked. "And what does that mean exactly?"
"You sound curious. Are you sure you're not interested in this yourself?"
"I just want to show off my charm."
"In that case," Ye Feng said with a grin, "I'll make you some sexy lingerie later."
"Sexy... lingerie?" Ya Fei blinked, unfamiliar with the term.
"It's for fun," Ye Feng replied, smiling knowingly.
Among all the women Ye Feng knew, only Ya Fei truly understood and catered to him. Xiao Wu was cute but naive. Bibi Dong, Bo Sanxi, the Goddesses of Life and Kindness—all were proud and distant, too aloof for certain desires. Zhu Zhuqing was cold and silent, communicating only through instinct and body. Even Queen Medusa, seductive as she was, had never been intimate with him again after her evolution through the Heavenly Flame.
Only Ya Fei remained attentive, always eager to please, her joy seemingly tied to Ye Feng's happiness.
Following the maid through a winding path, the group finally arrived at the front row of the auction venue.
There, private VIP boxes lined the edge of the hall. Luxurious and soundproof, each booth offered comfort and seclusion, shielding the guests from the noisy chaos behind them.
Even among other VIPs, Ye Feng's group stood out. The graceful beauty of Xiao Yixian, the elegant charm of Ya Fei, the cold allure of Zi Yan, and the regal majesty of the Great Amethyst Winged Lion King in human form immediately drew attention.
"Who are those people? So young, yet they're sitting in the VIP section," one guest whispered.
"They better not become a problem," a gray-robed man muttered darkly, his gaze sharp with barely veiled hostility.
Just then, another figure emerged from a nearby VIP room—a woman of stunning beauty and poised grace.
"Excuse me," she said, approaching Ye Feng's group. "May I borrow a moment of your time?"
Ye Feng glanced at her. She looked vaguely familiar, but he couldn't place her.
Seeing that he didn't refuse, the woman smiled. "My name is Ye Xinlan. I'm the eldest daughter of the Ye family, one of the five great clans of Danta, and a graduate of Jia Nan Academy's Inner Courtyard."
"Jia Nan Academy?" Zi Yan looked her over, a flicker of recognition flashing in her eyes. "Ah, so you're Ye Xinlan. No wonder you looked familiar."
"You know me?" Ye Xinlan blinked in surprise.
"My name is Zi Yan."
"Zi Yan...? The 'Great King'?" Ye Xinlan said, eyes widening.
"You people gave me that nickname," Zi Yan replied indifferently. "I never accepted it."
"Heh..."
Ye Xinlan gave an awkward chuckle, then looked between Zi Yan and Ye Feng. "Zi Yan, may I call you that?"
"Whatever."
"It's quite the coincidence seeing you here," Ye Xinlan continued. "Didn't you graduate and return home? What brings you to the Black Corner Region? Are you here for the auctioned treasures?"
"I'm not bidding. But yes, I'm here for the auction," Zi Yan replied. "What about you? Something you're after?"
"There's something important of mine being auctioned... but not among the items for sale later," Ye Xinlan said, before glancing meaningfully at Ye Feng. "Zi Yan, do you happen to know... the Chaos Saint?"
"He's my master," Zi Yan said without hesitation, casting a look at Ye Feng.
"Master...?" Ye Xinlan froze, stunned.
Her thoughts reeled. Zi Yan, the wild child of Jia Nan Academy, the uncontrollable powerhouse they all feared... had become this man's disciple?
Just what kind of existence was Ye Feng?
Ye Xinlan turned back toward Ye Feng. "Do you... mind if we speak privately?" she asked, voice a touch more cautious now.
Ye Feng nodded slightly. "What is it you want to discuss?"
