Chapter 37: Chapter 37 : Feng Yuxiang l
"I see..." Feng Yuxiang nodded expressionlessly upon hearing the guard's explanation and stared at Yuan, who stood nonchalantly. "Do you think you can lie in the Golden Phoenix Bazaar?"
"I am not lying," Yuan lightly shook his head and smiled defiantly. "But I'm curious to see what you plan to do."
It was clear that Feng Yuxiang's character was extremely arrogant, which made Yuan want to put her in her place before making her his servant.
"You will die," Feng Yuxiang said coldly, glaring at Yuan with killing intent, and a strong fire surrounded her, threatening to kill Yuan.
Boom!
The moment Feng Yuxiang unleashed her aura towards Yuan, Xiao Hua released her full power without hesitation and stared at Feng Yuxiang with the intent to kill.
"How dare you attempt to kill Brother Yuan," Xiao Hua said, glaring at Feng Yuxiang angrily, with killing intent in her eyes. If Yuan hadn't been holding her hand, she would have torn Feng Yuxiang apart without hesitation.
"T-this is..." Feng Yuxiang murmured with difficulty, staring at Xiao Hua in shock and fear, as she hadn't expected such a presence in the Lower Heaven. This arrogance had led her to underestimate Yuan. "Spirit King..."
'It seems my end has come,' Feng Yuxiang thought bitterly, as this wasn't the first time she had offended someone she shouldn't have, but it seemed she hadn't learned her lesson from last time and repeated the mistake.
Feng Yuxiang wasn't the only one who regretted it; the guards were also cursing themselves for their foolishness in offending such a terrifying presence.
"Calm down, Xiao Hua," Yuan smiled as he gently patted Xiao Hua's head and spoke, "This should be enough to allow me to enter the Golden Phoenix Bazaar, right?"
After Yuan spoke, the terrifying pressure disappeared as if it were just an illusion, but this didn't make Feng Yuxiang and the guards any less nervous, as the cold sweat on their backs was proof that it wasn't a hallucination.
Hearing that Yuan didn't seem interested in pursuing the matter further, Feng Yuxiang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"That is correct," Feng Yuxiang nodded gently, speaking with respect. "No one would dare to stop you from entering the Golden Phoenix Bazaar."
"If you don't mind, Young Master, I can accompany you as I know the Golden Phoenix Bazaar well," Feng Yuxiang offered politely and respectfully. Even though Yuan didn't seem to want to pursue the matter further, she couldn't help but worry that he still held a grudge against her.
"Certainly," Yuan smiled and didn't hesitate to accept Feng Yuxiang's offer. "But don't expect this to be enough to make up for your earlier attempt to kill me."
"S-sure, I will do my best to compensate the Young Master for the rudeness I showed earlier," Feng Yuxiang couldn't help but tremble upon hearing Yuan's words and smiled bitterly, knowing it was her fault for being so arrogant.
"I'm looking forward to seeing how you will compensate me," Yuan said indifferently as he entered the Golden Phoenix Bazaar with Xiao Hua by his side and Feng Yuxiang following him with respect and fear.

Phoenix Heaven.
"This shop is mine, and I am willing to give the Young Master anything from it as compensation for my earlier rudeness," Feng Yuxiang said, staring at Xiao Hua and Yuan with barely hidden fear, as her miserable life depended on the mood of the two.
"Then we will be even," Yuan smiled kindly, as it seemed he was kind enough to forgive Feng Yuxiang in exchange for some treasures.
Unfortunately, no one knew that he had already decided to take Feng Yuxiang in addition to everything in the shop.
Yuan already knew about the curse Feng Yuxiang was suffering from and knew that his blood was the key to breaking this curse, which is why he decided to choose the Empyrean Overlord, as he wanted to obtain the associated sword, and it was also a good way to show Feng Yuxiang the capabilities of his blood.
"Then allow me to show you my humble shop, Young Master," Feng Yuxiang said, breathing a sigh of relief inside and thanking her lucky stars that Yuan wasn't unreasonable, or she was sure she would suffer greatly today.
'I need to be careful from now on and make sure not to provoke people I can't handle,' Feng Yuxiang decided in her heart. Although she didn't know why a Spirit King was in the Lower Heaven, she decided to bury her doubts, as she wasn't in a position to speak with Yuan and Xiao Hua as equals.
"Then I'll rely on you, Madam Feng," Yuan said with a light smile as he entered the luxurious shop indifferently.
Although Feng Yuxiang had called it a humble shop, it was clearly one of the finest in the Golden Phoenix Bazaar, as its splendid appearance alone said a lot.
"Welcome back, Madam Feng. And welcome to Phoenix Heaven, dear guests," the receptionist said, who had come to greet Yuan and the others upon seeing them enter the shop.
"Return to your work, as I will take care of their needs," Feng Yuxiang said, waving lightly to the receptionist.
"As you command, Madam Feng," the receptionist nodded respectfully, glanced curiously at Yuan and Xiao Hua, and then left to return to her work.
"I don't think the treasures on the first floor will attract your attention, so let's go directly to the second floor before heading to the other floors," Feng Yuxiang said, as she couldn't dream that a Spirit King would be interested in random treasures. She was prepared to exchange her best treasures for her life, as they weren't worth more than her life.
