153: Chapter 153: The Envy of the Crowd

Outside the Alchemy Hall, the sunlight was just right.

Seeing Xiao Yuan come out, the surrounding crowd quickly parted the way!

Xiao Yuan walked through the crowd, and just as he stepped out of the large doors, he felt several gazes shoot over uniformly.

Looking up, six pretty figures were standing not far away, craning their necks to look.

Su Ruotong, Su Li, Ye Qingcen, Luo Ziyan, Liu Qingqing, and Zhou Ruoxi—all six women were present!

Seeing Xiao Yuan come out, they were stunned at first, then their eyes lit up, and they quickly rushed up to greet him.

But the faces of all the women were filled with anxiety, and for a moment they did not know what had happened. Seeing Xiao Yuan come out alone and the people around him automatically clearing a path for him, their hearts inevitably tightened, thinking something had happened to Xiao Yuan.

"Xiao Yuan! Are you okay?" Su Li spoke first, her eyes filled with concern.

Ye Qingcen also crowded over, looking him up and down: "The commotion inside just now was so huge, it scared us to death! How are you doing?"

Although Luo Ziyan did not speak, the worry in her eyes could not be concealed at all.

Su Ruotong slightly furrowed her brows: "What happened? What was going on with the dan bell ringing nine times?"

She thought this matter might be related to Xiao Yuan!

Liu Qingqing and Zhou Ruoxi also gathered around, though their faces were full of curiosity, the gazes they directed at Xiao Yuan were likewise filled with concern.

The six women surrounded Xiao Yuan, asking questions all at once. That affectionate drive and concern made the eyeballs of the Disciples around them almost pop out.

"Holy shit?! What is that kid's background?"

"The six beauties of Dan Peak are all surrounding him?!"

"Su Ruotong! Ye Qingcen! And that newcomer Su Li and Luo Ziyan, every single one of them is a top-tier beauty!"

"Liu Qingqing and Zhou Ruoxi are also extraordinarily pretty now. After reaching the Late Foundation Establishment Stage, their entire temperament has changed!"

"What right does this kid have?!"

The surrounding male Disciples were so sour that their teeth felt like falling out, their eyes turning red one by one as they wished they could tear Xiao Yuan apart alive.

The six women, however, had no time to pay attention to those gazes; all their thoughts were on Xiao Yuan.

Just at this moment, Sun Yue walked out from inside the doors.

Seeing the scene of the six women surrounding Xiao Yuan, the corners of his eyes twitched fiercely a few times.

Especially seeing Su Li standing by Xiao Yuan's side, her eyes filled with concern, and even reaching out to tug on Xiao Yuan's sleeve—that intimate appearance caused the fire of jealousy in his heart to burn furiously!

Su Li!

The woman he had coveted for a long time!

Back then, no matter what methods he used to get close, Su Li never showed him any favorable expression.

Later on, he caused her sister's death, originally thinking he could use this to manipulate her, but he never expected this woman to be so unyielding that she would rather go to the mineral veins to throw her life away than submit.

Now, she was actually so close to Xiao Yuan!

The murderous intent in Sun Yue's eyes almost condensed into substance.

He stepped forward and coldly spoke: "Junior Brother Xiao really is blessed with wonderful romantic fortune."

He swept a glance over the six women, the corners of his mouth curling into a gloomy and cold smile: "However, now is not the time to enjoy such fortune. You should think about whether you can come down from the arena alive later."

Hearing this, the complexions of the six women changed simultaneously.

"Arena?" Ye Qingcen widened her eyes, "What arena?"

Su Ruotong tightly frowned: "Xiao Yuan, are you going to fight a Life-and-Death Arena match with him?!"

Su Li's face turned even paler. She looked at Sun Yue, then looked at Xiao Yuan, instantly understanding something.

"No!" She grabbed Xiao Yuan's hand, "You cannot go! I will fight this Life-and-Death Arena match for you!"

Xiao Yuan was slightly stunned.

Su Li's gaze was firm: "My cultivation is also at the Late Foundation Establishment Stage, and fighting him, I might not necessarily lose!"

"Right!" Ye Qingcen also stepped out, "We will fight for you!!"

Luo Ziyan silently stood by Xiao Yuan's side. Although she did not speak, the meaning was very obvious—if you dare to go, I dare to follow.

Su Ruotong also stepped forward: "Junior Brother Xiao, we can discuss this matter at length..."

Liu Qingqing and Zhou Ruoxi also successively expressed that they wanted to fight on behalf of Xiao Yuan.

Seeing this scene, the surrounding male Disciples completely turned into sour grapes.

"Six beauties fighting over each other to battle in the Life-and-Death Arena for him?!"

"Did this kid save the cultivation world in his past life?!"

"I'm sour, I'm really sour..."

Watching the six women defend Xiao Yuan, the fire of jealousy in Sun Yue's eyes almost burned through his eye sockets.

He sneered, his voice mocking and jealous: "Xiao Yuan, if you only know how to hide behind women, then this Life-and-Death Arena match might as well not be fought. Anyway, if you concede, I won't laugh at you—at most I'll just laugh at you for being a coward."

Xiao Yuan glanced at him indifferently and ignored him.

He turned around, looking at the six women, his eyes filled with gentleness.

Finally, his gaze fell upon Su Li.

He reached out and gently stroked Su Li's beautiful hair.

"Rest assured, I know my limits."

His voice was very soft, yet it carried a reassuring power.

"Your revenge," he looked at her, saying word by word, "I will exact it for you."

He insisted on fighting Sun Yue in the Life-and-Death Arena precisely to avenge Su Li. How could he possibly miss this opportunity?

Letting Su Li fight—although her current cultivation was at the Late Foundation Establishment Stage, she might not necessarily be able to defeat Sun Yue! He certainly didn't want anything to happen to Su Li!

Su Li's eyes instantly turned red.

She looked at Xiao Yuan and nodded forcefully.

At that moment, all the surrounding gazes concentrated on the two of them.

Su Li actually allowed Xiao Yuan to stroke her hair so intimately!

And that look in her eyes was clearly... clearly...

"I can't live anymore!" A male Disciple covered his chest, "My goddess!"

"Su Li actually... actually..."

"What kind of soul-bewitching soup did that kid pour into her?!"

Several Elders of Dan Peak stood not far away, watching this scene with varied expressions.

Peak Master Yun Ruowei's eye corners twitched, her mood complicated: "This kid... isn't his affinity with women a bit too good?"

Leng Youyue's mouth twitched slightly: "Six of them, all are his?"

Lin Zhirou silently calculated: "Adding the few of us... no, no, I mean..."

She quickly shut her mouth.

Yun Qingwan's mouth twitched, and she inwardly complained to herself: This stinky brat doesn't even know how to pick a time and place!

Being ambiguous with women at a time like this, she really didn't know what to say to him...

However, looking at Xiao Yuan's gentle appearance, she inexplicably felt a bit jealous.

How on earth did this kid get involved with so many women?

Sun Yue stood to the side, watching this scene, his lungs practically exploding from anger.

He took a deep breath and said coldly: "Xiao Yuan, have you finished talking nonsense? If you're done, come with me!"

Having said that, he turned around and walked toward the martial arts arena not far away.

Xiao Yuan glanced at his back, the corners of his mouth hooking into a playful smile.

"Let's go."

He followed along.

The six women hurriedly followed.

The surrounding crowd also tumultuously followed.

The several Elders of Dan Peak exchanged glances and also strode toward the martial arts arena.

Except for Yun Qingwan, everyone else's faces were filled with worry, even the several women were no exception; they worried that Xiao Yuan would not be able to beat Sun Yue.

But since Xiao Yuan wouldn't let them go onto the arena, they could only anxiously fret here.

However, the several women had already made up their minds: if Sun Yue dared to harm Xiao Yuan, even if it meant risking their lives, they would kill Sun Yue to avenge Xiao Yuan.
