Chapter 33: Chapter 33: Xiao Xun'er's Exacting Revenge
As the girl in the purple gown approached, her striking features became more vivid under the torchlight, leaving Chenfeng momentarily stunned.
Her beauty was both delicate and imposing, a rare combination that could captivate anyone's attention. Her almond-shaped eyes sparkled like gemstones, and her graceful yet confident demeanor exuded an innate nobility.
Chenfeng's thoughts raced.
'Such beauty hidden in this small Wu Tan City? How could she not be mentioned in the original story?'
His gaze flickered, trying to unravel the mystery of her presence. Her youthful face, still bearing traces of innocence, hinted at the unparalleled allure she would embody in a few years. It was hard to believe someone like her existed in this quiet, seemingly unremarkable city.
Chenfeng's mind churned with speculation.
'For someone so extraordinary to appear here—and to orchestrate this situation—she must have a significant background. Yet, why is there no mention of her in any part of the story I know?' His brow furrowed as realization struck.
'And why does she bear such hostility toward me? Have I unknowingly offended someone important?'
The girl's steady, purposeful steps toward him only deepened his wonder. Chenfeng's sharp mind replayed recent events, scanning for any clue that could explain her presence or her intentions. Yet, no memory or encounter stood out.
Chenfeng's expression grew tense as his eyes locked onto the strange black shadow trailing behind the purple-clothed girl. The figure moved with an eerie fluidity, blending seamlessly into the surrounding darkness. Had he not been watching intently, he would never have noticed its presence.
A chill ran down his spine as recognition dawned.
'It's him!'
This was the same shadow that had infiltrated his room earlier, rendering him unconscious with such precision that Chenfeng hadn't even sensed the attack until it was too late.
'What terrifying mastery...'
Chenfeng's gaze flickered with amazement. Though he had yet to confront the black shadow directly, the sheer stealth and precision demonstrated earlier spoke volumes about the figure's strength. Such a person was no ordinary master; this was someone who moved in the realm of elites, a level far beyond Chenfeng's current ability.
As the girl drew closer, seemingly unbothered by the ominous presence following her, Chenfeng couldn't help but question her connection to the shadow.
This black shadow person is so powerful, but he seems to be obeying the orders of the purple-robed girl in front of him.
This shocked Chenfeng, as it seemed that the purple-robed girl had quite a powerful background.
But, why did this girl with extraordinary origins focus targets him?
This purple-robed girl is naturally the proud daughter of the Ancient Gu Clan, Xiao Xun'er.
At this moment, Xiao Xun'er looked at the tied up Chenfeng, and thought of the scene of her Brother Xiao Yan being wantonly humiliated by this guy earlier today, a cold light flashed in her beautiful eyes.
'If you humiliate Brother Xiao Yan, I, Xiao Xun'er, will never let you go!'
Seeing the coldness in the purple-robed girl's eyes, Chenfeng felt a chill in her heart.
It seemed that this woman was very angry with him for some reason.
Chenfeng's confusion deepened as he observed the purple-robed girl standing before him. He scrutinized her carefully, his mind racing with questions. Finally, he spoke, keeping his tone polite, "My name is Miteer Chenfeng. May I ask the young lady's name? I wonder how I may have offended you."
The girl, Xiao Xun'er, glanced at him with an air of icy detachment. Her soft, indifferent voice cut through the silence. "A mere dependent of the pitiful Miteer family is not qualified to know my name."
Chenfeng's eyelids twitched, his composure wavering for a brief moment. The words struck a nerve, sparking a flicker of anger within him. 'What an arrogant woman!'
Though he had already surmised that her background and status were extraordinary, being dismissed so blatantly left him unsettled. Still, he suppressed his displeasure, carefully maintaining a calm exterior.
What truly intrigued him was the tone of her words. Despite their harshness, they carried no malice or disdain, merely a matter-of-fact coldness. It was as if she were stating an undeniable truth, rather than belittling him.
'Does she genuinely see the Miteer family as insignificant?' Chenfeng mused, his surprise growing. After all, the Miteer family was one of the three major families in the Jia Ma Empire. In this land, few would dare to speak of them so dismissively. Yet, in her eyes, they seemed utterly beneath notice.
Unless...
Suddenly, Chenfeng seemed to have thought of something. His eyes were fixed on the purple-robed girl in front of him, and a suspicion came into his mind.
'Could it be that the girl in purple skirt in front of me is Xiao Xun'er?'
As soon as his thoughts reached this conclusion, Chenfeng's mind suddenly became clear.
She must be!
In this city of Wu Tan City, a girl with such a beautiful face and an extraordinary background, having such a powerful bodyguard to command can only be her.
Besides Xiao Xun'er, the proud daughter of the Ancient Gu Clan, who else could it be?
Of course, what made Chenfeng confirm his suspicion was more because of the black shadow behind the other party.
This dark shadow should be a powerful Dou Emperor realm bodyguard from the Ancient Gu Clan.
'Is he that guy, Ling Ying?'
Chenfeng remembered that it was mentioned in the original book that Ling Ying had practiced this kind of concealment technique and had been staying in the background to protect Xiao Xun'er.
'Good guy, you are a powerful Dou Emperor warrior, but you actually launched a sneak attack on me, a small Dou Master! It's so disgraceful!' Feeling the pain coming from the back of his head, Chenfeng cursed secretly in his heart.
After guessing the identity of the purple-robed girl, Chenfeng gradually understood why the other party wanted to attack him.
There is no doubt that Xiao Xun'er is venting her anger on Xiao Yan behalf.
'Xiao Xun'er probably already knows about Xiao Yan's engagement annulment today.'
Other than that, Chenfeng really couldn't think of any reason why Xiao Xun'er would take action against him.
Xiao Xun'er looked at Chenfeng coldly for a while, seeming to be thinking about how to deal with him.
"Uncle Ying, destroy his cultivation."
After a moment, Xiao Xun'er had an idea and said in a calm voice.
In Xiao Xun'er's eyes, the root of Xiao Yan's humiliation lay in his lack of strength. His low cultivation had made him a target of scorn — from his fiancée, Nalan Yanran, to the man standing before her now, Chenfeng.
Seeing this, she resolved to bring Chenfeng down in the same way, to strip him of his cultivation and reduce him to a helpless, powerless state — just as Xiao Yan currently is.
If she succeeded, Chenfeng's future would mirror Xiao Yan's: from a person of pride and power to a mockery, ridiculed by all.
In her mind, this was the perfect form of revenge. 'Let him experience the same suffering Xiao Yan endured. It's only fair!'
Hearing Xiao Xun'er's words, Chenfeng was shocked and instantly became nervous.
He looked at Xiao Xun'er in front of him and almost cursed.
'This bitch is really willing to do anything for Xiao Yan. Just because he was insulted today, she directly abducted me late at night and now she is even more vicious and wants to destroy my cultivation!'
At this moment, Chenfeng swore in his heart that he would make Xiao Xun'er regret this decision.
"Yes, Miss!"
As Xiao Xun'er finished speaking, Ling Ying slowly walked out of the darkness and walked towards Chenfeng without hesitation.
"Wait! Hear me out first!"
At this time, Chenfeng said quickly: "Miss, you have to first tell me why you do this to me, right? So that I can understand and repenty actions, no? Otherwise what's the point of punishing me without giving me a reason?"
While speaking, Chenfeng's mind sank into the system space, ready to activate the 9-Star Dou Ancestor experience card at a moments notice.
Xiao Xun'er observed Chenfeng with some surprise, noting his although hurried but otherwise calm demeanor. There was no hint of panic on his face, a trait that impressed her.
This man was remarkably brave — even now, when faced with potential danger, he chose to remain composed, seeking only an explanation.
Naturally, Xiao Xun'er had no intention of revealing her true identity.
While she harbored disdain for the Miteer family, she was well aware of the power the Xiao family commanded.
Although she held little regard for the Miteer family, she knew that, in the grand scheme of things, the Xiao family was far too weak for them to afford making enemies with such a behemoth.
Xiao Xun'er was naturally careful not to let her actions put the Xiao family at risk, understanding that even a momentary lapse in judgment could have serious consequences for the Xiao family...
