Tianya City, Luo Xiaoyao

Cao Ying and Dan Chen were both shocked. They had only broken through to Dou Huang a short while ago, and Shen Wen was already planning to break through to Dou Zong?

"Why aren't you using a Break-Sect Pill?"

Cao Ying frowned. Breaking through from Dou Huang to Dou Zong was dangerous. If the breakthrough failed and damaged one's foundation, it would take a lot of time to recover.

While a Break-Sect Pill was indeed precious to others, for Shen Wen, it was merely a matter of time spent refining it.

"No rush, just gaining some insight. I naturally already have the materials."

Shen Wen chuckled, then his tone suddenly became a little playful, "Are you concerned about me?"

"Who, who's concerned about you! If you fail your breakthrough and get injured, it's our Pill Tower's reputation that will suffer." Cao Ying paused, then snorted coldly.

Her cheeks were slightly flushed, making her appear even more charming.

Dan Chen, seeing Cao Ying with such an expression for the first time, her eyes curved into crescents, thought that Sister Ying and Brother Shen Wen seemed to have a good relationship.

No wonder Sister Ying was so angry when she was chatting with Brother Shen Wen earlier.

"We've arrived!"

Just as Shen Wen was about to tease her further, silver halos began to appear not far away, indicating that Tianya City had been reached.

He also collected his thoughts and put his hood back on.

Cao Ying and Dan Chen did the same. As a wave of fluctuations passed, the dazzling colors of the spatial wormhole were replaced by sunlight.

"Hurry up and leave, don't linger and obstruct the spatial ships coming out behind you!"

A sharp shout rang out. Shen Wen stored the spatial ship into his storage ring, and the three of them, suspended in the air, landed on the ground.

Cao Ying asked, "Are we going directly to the Tagor Desert next?"

"No, I have something to do in Tianya City first."

Shen Wen naturally didn't choose Tianya City arbitrarily.

He remembered that the Luo Family in Tianya City possessed a Tier 6 Heavenly Scorpion Poison Dragon Beast's magic core.

This magic core was an essential item for the Poison Pill Method to resolve Xiao Yi Xian's Calamity Poison Body.

Although the Poison Pill Method required a Tier 7 Heavenly Scorpion Poison Dragon Beast, acquiring this Tier 6 one would at least serve as a backup.

Furthermore,

It could also serve as practice for Shen Wen.

As for whether the Luo Family would trade it, he had some confidence in his identity as a Seventh-Rank Alchemist acknowledged by the Pill Tower.

After all, in the original work, since City Lord Luo Cheng was willing to give it to Xiao Yan, it meant that this item was not important to their Luo Family.

To exchange it for a favor from a Seventh-Rank Alchemist, City Lord Luo Cheng would certainly be willing, unless he was a fool.

Moreover,

Shen Wen wasn't going to seize it by force; he would just exchange it for pills.

On the bustling street, Shen Wen and the other two walked slowly. Suddenly, a commotion erupted ahead, accompanied by the cracking of a horsewhip and the sound of galloping hooves.

"Get out of the way, hurry up and move! If you get trampled to death, it's your own fault for not watching where you're going!"

Shen Wen and the others looked over to see the previously dense crowd scattering in all directions as if they had encountered a plague god.

"That little princess of the Luo Family is out again!"

"She rides her horse through the streets every day. I heard she even trampled someone to death a few days ago!"

"No choice, the Luo Family are the local overlords of Tianya City, not to mention the Luo Family Old Ancestor is a Five-Star Dou Zong. I heard this Luo Xiaoyao is deeply favored by the Luo Family Old Ancestor."

From the surrounding chatter, Shen Wen raised an eyebrow. What a coincidence?

He encountered that Luo Xiaoyao.

However, it wasn't much of a coincidence, or rather, it was an inevitability.

Because this Luo Xiaoyao was accustomed to acting arrogantly in Tianya City, riding her horse and trampling people on the streets was already a common occurrence.

It was just that she hadn't encountered anyone the Luo Family feared before, and some futile resistance only fueled her arrogance.

"Let's step aside a bit to avoid trouble." Shen Wen himself disliked trouble. Even with a Protector, he preferred not to provoke the Luo Family.

He merely wanted to obtain the Tier 6 Heavenly Scorpion Poison Dragon Beast's magic core from the Luo Family.

Cao Ying clenched her jaw, "I should avoid her arrogance? Even I wouldn't be this arrogant!"

Cao Ying, the eldest young lady of the Cao Family, would never gallop wildly on horseback through a city.

"Good dogs don't block the way! All of you, get out of my way! Otherwise, if you're trampled to death, no one will be responsible!"

In the distance.

Luo Xiaoyao, riding a red horse, roared. Shen Wen pulled Cao Ying and Dan Chen aside. He wasn't Luo Xiaoyao's father, after all.

He couldn't be bothered to discipline her!

Luo Xiaoyao galloped from afar, kicking up a gust of wind that lifted Shen Wen's hood, revealing his handsome face beneath.

"Whoa!"

The red horse immediately stopped. Luo Xiaoyao looked at Shen Wen and said in a sweet voice, "Take off your hood!"

Shen Wen frowned. This was getting involved with him. He took off his hood, revealing his entire face.

Seeing Shen Wen's handsome face, with his naturally calm demeanor as an Alchemist, and now, having cultivated the Azure Heaven Dragon Transformation Art, he also exuded a wild, domineering aura.

The two blended together.

For a young girl like Luo Xiaoyao, it was undoubtedly an intoxicating brew.

"Alright, you'll follow me from now on!"

Luo Xiaoyao said as if it were a matter of course. He was so handsome and seemed to have a good physique; she could certainly have some fun with him.

Shen Wen frowned slightly, and Cao Ying was even more furious. How could she not be angry when her husband was being eyed?

She directly grabbed Shen Wen's hand and walked towards the other side.

"You stop right there!"

Luo Xiaoyao saw that Cao Ying was ignoring her and taking the man she fancied away. Her slender hand gripped her leather whip.

'Snap!'

The leather whip in her hand lashed out violently, carrying a gust of wind directly towards Cao Ying's head.

"You're courting death!"

Cao Ying hadn't even reacted.

Shen Wen's other hand, which wasn't being held, shot out abruptly.

He grabbed the leather whip.

A flame spread from Shen Wen's hand, where he gripped the whip, incinerating it completely.

"You! How dare you burn me!"

The scorching flames made Luo Xiaoyao instantly let go. Her delicate eyebrows immediately stood on end, filled with rage. With her Old Ancestor backing her in Tianya City, she wasn't even afraid of Dou Huangs.

"Uncle Hua, Uncle Liu, seize this fellow for me! And kill that one!"

Luo Xiaoyao pointed at Shen Wen and Cao Ying and roared.

No sooner had she spoken than.

Two aged figures swiftly broke through the air and blocked the path of Shen Wen and the other two.

The two figures who appeared before Shen Wen, one with gray hair and one with white hair, had quite aged faces, and their auras were between Five-Star Dou Huang and Six-Star Dou Huang.

"Friend, my young lady sincerely invites you to be a guest at the Luo Family. It's one thing not to accept, but to burn her whip is a bit excessive, isn't it?"

The gray-haired elder was still cautious. He couldn't sense the aura of the three people in front of him, and seeing their black robes.

He suspected they might be special, but since their Old Ancestor was a Dou Zong, the gray-haired elder's tone was still quite firm.

He even directly placed the blame on Shen Wen.

"Get lost!"

When had Cao Ying ever endured such temper? It was one thing to give way on the street, but this cheap woman had also taken a liking to Shen Wen.

Did she really think that the Demoness of the Cao Family had a good temper?

If her temper was good, she wouldn't be called a demoness.

"Kill her!" Although Luo Xiaoyao couldn't clearly see Cao Ying's face, judging by her voice and figure, she was definitely a woman.

No wonder she was so angry. It seemed this handsome guy had a close relationship with her, so it was perfect to just kill her.
