The Indomitable Master of Elixirs

“Ji Fengyan! What are you doing!”

Ji Fengyan’s sudden actions stunned everyone in the grand hall.

Lei Yuanxu instinctively tried to escape Ji Fengyan’s grip, but her slender fingers clasped around his wrist were like iron shackles. He could not break free of her clutches despite using up every ounce of strength in his body.

“Ji Fengyan, you lunatic, let go of me! Otherwise, I will not show you any mercy!” New grudge, deep-seated hatred—in a fit of anger, Lei Yuanxu raised his other hand and aimed it at Ji Fengyan’s face.

But…

Just as Lei Yuanxu raised his hand, Ji Fengyan promptly kicked him in the lower belly.

The sudden pain caused Lei Yuanxu to tremble all over before collapsing on his knees beside Ji Fengyan. His face had taken on a terrible white cast.

“Ji Fengyan, how dare you!” The whole scenario completely enraged the Lei family. Several youths instantly stood up, ready to leap at Ji Fengyan.

Ji Fengyan raised her head abruptly. Her eyes, so full of mirth earlier, had lost all sense of levity. They were as cold as ice and swept across the crowd in a chilly glare, leaving the Lei family dumbstruck in its wake.

“I really… had enough of all you worthless trash…” Ji Fengyan scanned the entire Lei family with eyes half-closed.

The corners of her mouth suddenly curved in a smile. But that smile was totally different from her usual one: it had lost most of its playfulness and took on a largely sinister feel.

“Dealing with people like you, there is no need for me… to be reasonable…” Ji Fengyan chuckled. With Lei Yuanxu’s arm still in her single-handed grasp, she slowly straightened her body. Casting a menacing glance at the Lei family, Ji Fengyan lifted her chin slightly. “The Lei family really did not learn their lesson.”

“Ji Fengyan, what are you planning to do? Let go of Lei Yuanxu immediately!” Lei Qin felt that the Ji Fengyan before her was behaving very strangely.

Ji Fengyan raised her eyebrows at Lei Qin before turning her head toward the wincing Lei Yuanxu. “Let go of him? Why should I? The Lei family stole my Tree of the Flowing Bloodshed—that is no small offense, right?”

Ji Fengyan words left the entire Lei family stupefied.

“You… what did you say? Who stole your stuff! Don’t throw baseless allegations around!” A young member of the Lei family immediately rebutted.

Ji Fengyan looked at the person with disapproval. “I had won the bid for the Tree of the Flowing Bloodshed at the auction. If I remember correctly, the Sacred Dragon Auction House holds a detailed record of every single auctioned item. Anyone can easily access those records. Do you want to go check if I had indeed won the bid for the Tree of the Flowing Bloodshed?”

Ji Fengyan narrowed her eyes, a streak of diabolism gradually surfacing in her eyes. She asked casually, “An item which I won in an auction ending up in the hands of the Lei family. If that’s not stealing, what is it then?”

The Lei family nearly vomited blood in chagrin at Ji Fengyan’s words!

“Don’t spout such unfounded accusations. We had clearly exchanged for this item in a deal with the Ji family! The Lei family is a noble family clan, we would never steal…”

Ji Fengyan couldn’t be bothered to listen to the Lei family’s explanations. She waved her hand. “Stop your nonsense. What thief would admit to his own theft? I only believe my own eyes. I saw that the Lei family stole my item, so the fact remains that you all stole it. Right, so the fellow who stole my belongings is this Lei Yuanxu?”
