LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 12: Vixen
The Miteer Auction House is the main industry of the Miteer family, and its family background is far beyond the combined power of the three major families in Wutan City.
The Miteer Auction House has branches throughout the Jia Ma Empire, including this small Wutan City.
Xiao Yan arrived at the entrance of the Miteer Auction House and glanced sideways at the two little girls following behind him, raising his eyebrows in confusion.
“Don’t you two say you want to go shopping?”
“It’s okay~ there’s nothing good to buy on the street~”
Xiao Mei and Xiao Xun’er smiled with their hands behind their backs, and Xiao Yan didn’t inquire about it any further, instead bowing his head and politely addressing the guards at the entrance.
“Xiao Yan from the Xiao Clan has business to discuss with Miss Ya Fei, please inform her…”
“It’s alright, it’s alright~” Before Xiao Yan could finish his sentence, the guard waved his hand helplessly. “You’re a regular here, there’s no need to be so formal. I’ll go in and find Miss Ya Fei.”
After saying that, the guard turned and walked into the auction house, and Xiao Yan quietly waited at the entrance, completely unaware of the slightly gloomy expression on the faces of the two little girls behind him.
Soon, a stunningly beautiful woman with an elegant gait came out of the auction house, her eyes sparkling when she saw Xiao Yan.
“Little brother Xiao Yan, it’s been a long time! Why don’t you come and see your big sister more often?”
And the blushing Xiao Yan who had his face buried in Ya Fei’s chest at this time was unable to say a word, his face turning blood red.
Feeling the restless heart of Xiao Yan, the ethereal woman in his ring shook her head helplessly.
If this kind of exposure is enough to make her disciple stunned into silence, it seems that this disciple of hers really has no defense against women… She should find a way to train him in the future, so that he won’t fall for someone’s trap one day.
At this moment, Xiao Mei and Xiao Xun’er’s faces turned completely black, and they both reached out and pulled Xiao Yan out of Ya Fei’s embrace, protecting him like a mother hen.
“You brainless woman with nothing but big breasts! Stay away from Cousin Xiao Yan!”
Xiao Mei glared at Ya Fei without any politeness, but Ya Fei was not angry at all, and instead looked at Xiao Mei with a playful smile.
“That’s much better than being a washboard, don’t you think, Little sister Xiao Mei~”
“You!!!”
Ya Fei’s words instantly broke through Xiao Mei’s defenses.
“What’s wrong with having small breasts?! I didn’t eat your rice, didn’t drink your water, I’m proud of my small breasts! Why do you think you can manage it?!”
At the moment when Xiao Mei’s defenses were broken, although Xiao Xun’er did not say anything, her gaze towards Ya Fei was clearly not very friendly.
Although their body types were similar, Ya Fei’s ‘capital’ was truly abundant. Even if Xiao Xun’er had reached Ya Fei’s age, she didn’t have the confidence to beat Ya Fei in this area.
“Mei’er, don’t be rude.”
Xiao Yan, who had regained his composure, reached out to press down on Xiao Mei’s little head, looking at her pouting face with helplessness in his eyes.
His little sister didn’t have much good temper towards anyone other than him and was quick to explode.
Then, Xiao Yan looked at Ya Fei and folded his hands together, said, “Sister Ya Fei, I…”
“Stop!” Ya Fei immediately stopped him, lightly tapping Xiao Yan’s folded hands with her jade hand. “Put away your formalities before speaking, I don’t want to be treated as an outsider.”
Ya Fei knew very well that Xiao Yan only adhered to formalities when facing outsiders.
Even though the two of them had known each other for three years, the way Xiao Yan showed his respect towards her still left Ya Fei feeling slightly annoyed.
Ya Fei’s words caused Xiao Yan to hesitate for a moment before awkwardly lowering his hands.
“Ya Fei, Xiao Yan would like to borrow a first-grade wood attribute monster core, and I will return it in the future…”
“Stop, the word ‘borrow’ really makes me feel uncomfortable inside.”
Once again, Ya Fei interrupted Xiao Yan’s words, crossed her arms, and motioned to her guard. The guard nodded and went back into the auction house, returning shortly with a black silk box.
“It’s just a first-grade monster core. I’ll give it to you for free, little brother!”
Ya Fei reached out and took the silk box from her guard’s hand, tossing it to Xiao Yan, who caught it somewhat nervously. There was a glimmer of joy in his eyes.
But then Xiao Yan’s face became serious, and he was about to bow and express his gratitude when Ya Fei lightly touched his lips with her delicate finger.
“No need to thank me. I did it because I wanted to. If it were anyone else kneeling and begging, I wouldn’t have given it to them. If you recognize me as your older sister, don’t bother with these empty gestures. Just take it and be at ease.”
“… ”
Xiao Yan stood there dumbfounded, his hands still hovering in the air, unsure of what to do.
Seeing his awkward expression, Ya Fei gave him a seductive smile and reached out to lightly stroke his chin, whispering, “It’s because you’re so cute that I can’t get enough of you~”
“Eh?”
Xiao Yan froze, still processing what had just happened, as Ya Fei leaned in to his side and lightly kissed his cheek, leaving a lingering fragrance.
“Come visit your older sister again next time~”
With a wave of her hand and a charming smile, Ya Fei turned and walked back into the auction house, leaving Xiao Yan and his two companions stunned in place, motionless for several seconds.
After a dozen seconds or so, the three of them finally snapped out of it. But Xiao Mei was particularly agitated.
“That damn Vixen!!!”
She exclaimed, charging towards the auction house with an unrelenting aura, determined to settle the score with Ya Fei!
Fortunately, Xiao Yan reacted in time and grabbed Xiao Mei, admonishing her in a low voice.
“Don’t make a scene!”
“But that woman! She…she just…” Xiao Mei looked at Xiao Yan with a grievance, too angry to speak in complete sentences. Seeing this, Xiao Xun’er quickly stepped forward to block Xiao Mei and asked Xiao Yan.
“Brother Xiao Yan, do you need to buy anything else?”
“I’ve got everything I need.” Xiao Yan put the black velvet box into his bag and smiled at Xiao Mei and Xiao Xun’er. “Since we don’t have training today, I’ll accompany you guys to go shopping.”
As soon as he said this, Xiao Mei’s angry expression softened and she looked at Xiao Yan in pleasant surprise, confirming with him.
“Really?!”
“Really.”
Xiao Yan nodded with a smile, and then Xiao Mei cheered and pulled Xiao Yan’s hand, running towards the marketplace.
“Let’s go then! I have so many things I want to buy today!”
“Slow down~”
Watching Xiao Yan being pulled away by Xiao Mei, Xiao Xun’er covered her mouth and laughed lightly, following them with light steps.
