Best Young Master

Chapter 1931: Chapter 1796: Xingtian Pays a Visit

Time flashed by like a white steed galloping past a crack, gone in an instant.

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.

In these three days, Ye Fan had learned a lot about the overall situation and trends in the entire Ancient Demon City.

As the selection competition drew closer by the day, young strong people from the various clans of the Demon World arrived one after another, turning this Elder Gu Holy City into a gathering center of storm and clouds.

This day, Zi Xiaoyi paced back and forth in his room like a trapped beast, his heart restless and anxious.

Xingtian had said that three days later, he would come to see Zi Huan, and today was the appointed day.

Yet—

He still hadn’t settled things on Zi Huan’s side, and he couldn’t imagine what would happen when they met!

Yet—

Even though he was burning with anxiety, there was nothing he could do now; he could only wait uneasily, just like a condemned prisoner waiting for the moment of execution, agitated and on edge.

What was bound to come would come in the end; there was no hiding from it!

At Noon, amid a sudden clamor outside the door, Xingtian strolled into Ziyi Square with a few attendants, commenting as he walked, looking every bit the posture of a grand connoisseur.

Upon learning that Xingtian had arrived, Zi Xiaoyi instead stopped worrying, feeling a strange sense of release. It was like this anyway—whether to live or die, he had to face it in the end.

Ye Fan also knew Xingtian would come today, so he hadn’t gone out and had stayed by Zi Huan’s side the whole time.

Seeing the two figures together, Zi Xiaoyi sighed inwardly and stepped out to greet them.

He had already agreed on this with Xingtian, so naturally he couldn’t flee at the last moment. Even if he knew perfectly well the meeting would be anything but pleasant, he still had to bite the bullet and go up.

"Hahaha... A man of his word—Young Master Xingtian truly is a man of faith."

Before the person appeared, Zi Xiaoyi’s slightly flattering voice sounded first.

"Cut the bootlicking. You know why I came. If it weren’t for the beauty, this dump of yours—I wouldn’t set foot in it in my entire life."

Xingtian’s arrogant voice floated over, making Zi Huan knit her brows.

This was entirely the bearing of an overbearing, domineering wastrel from a rich clan. She really didn’t know what her uncle was thinking, actually wanting her to marry such scum as a concubine.

"She’s waiting for you in the living room!"

Being so harshly belittled by Xingtian in front of so many people, even someone as thick-skinned as Zi Xiaoyi couldn’t quite take it; his tone became much stiffer.

Xingtian didn’t notice the change in Zi Xiaoyi’s tone at all, or if he did, he simply didn’t care.

In Xingtian’s eyes, Zi Xiaoyi was nothing but an ant. The fact that he deigned to set foot here was already him giving an enormous favor.

"Tell her to come out and see me. This place is like a dog kennel—is it fit for people to stay in?"

Xingtian casually sat down on a stone stool in the small courtyard, frowning as he spoke.

"This..."

Zi Xiaoyi was put on the spot. Zi Huan hadn’t wanted to see Xingtian to begin with, and now even he was starting to feel disgusted with this self-satisfied second-generation good-for-nothing.

"This young master is already here, yet she still refuses to show herself. What’s the meaning of this? Does she expect this young master to personally invite her out?"

Xingtian’s face instantly darkened, a faint killing intent spreading out from him. Typical dog-face—changes in a flip.

"Please wait a moment, Young Master Xingtian. I’ll go call her."

Zi Xiaoyi took a deep breath, forced down the displeasure in his heart, and quickly walked toward the living room.

Before long, Zi Huan, dressed in black, appeared in the small courtyard with Ye Fan accompanying her.

"Indeed a beauty capable of bringing down a nation and a city. She’s in no way inferior to those so-called top ten beauties of Ancient Demon City—perhaps even a notch above!"

That was Xingtian’s assessment in his heart the first moment he saw Zi Huan.

Although he had already seen Zi Huan’s image before, that was only an image. The instant he saw the real person, he was still stunned.

However, as the strongest heir of the Xing Family, he maintained his pride, merely nodding slightly.

"Not bad. A proper little beauty. Although slightly inferior to the top ten beauties, for some backwater clan to have such looks... it’s like a golden Phoenix flying out of a chicken coop."

Then his gaze fell on Ye Fan beside Zi Huan. He frowned and said with displeasure, "Zi Huan, is this person your attendant? Why is he so ignorant of the rules? An attendant should stand where an attendant belongs. Standing next to you—doesn’t that smack of overstepping? With such insolence, in our clan he’d have long since been fed to a Demon Beast!"

"Watch your mouth!"

Zi Huan’s face turned ashen, her eyes almost spitting fire as she said coldly, "Ye Fan is my big brother, not some attendant. Keep your filthy mouth in check."

She could tolerate others speaking of her, but she would never allow anyone to belittle Ye Fan in the slightest—not even the strongest heir of the Xing Family, ranked third among the Ten Great Families.

"Oh ho... quite a fiery temper. I like that. The more fiery a woman is, the more fun she is to tame. Once you marry me, I’ll take my time ’training’ you."

Xingtian completely treated Ye Fan as air, wantonly teasing.

"Who said I’m going to marry you? Just you? You’re not worthy."

Zi Huan went straight to the point, stating her stance outright, without the slightest room for maneuver.

"What did you say?"

Xingtian’s expression changed. He had originally thought Zi Huan would be begging to marry him; he hadn’t expected a scene like this.

"I will not marry you!" Zi Huan made her attitude clear.

"Your uncle has already promised you to me as a concubine. Even if you don’t agree, it’s useless. I didn’t come to seek your opinion."

Xingtian’s voice turned cold, a terrifying aura spreading out from him, clearly trying to use power to crush her.

"That was my uncle acting on his own, without asking for my opinion. I said I won’t marry you, and I absolutely won’t. Give up on that idea." Zi Huan’s stance was firm, allowing not the slightest change.

"Zi Xiaoyi, are you fucking kidding me?"

Xingtian was rejected again and again, and instantly flew into a rage, his voice icy cold as he questioned Zi Xiaoyi.

"This... Young Master Xingtian, listen to me, it’s not what you think..."

Zi Xiaoyi was stammering, not even knowing what he was trying to say himself.

It was obvious he couldn’t afford to offend Xingtian, but Zi Huan was like a turtle swallowing a weight, dead set on not marrying. He was at his wits’ end.

He spluttered for half the day without managing a single complete sentence, so anxious that sweat was beading on his forehead.

"No need to explain! After the selection tournament I’ll come to take my bride. If you haven’t persuaded her by then, you know the consequences!"

Xingtian’s eyes shot out a chilling light, his words dripping with threat.

"It’s over!"

Zi Xiaoyi’s legs went weak and he almost collapsed to the ground; the thing he dreaded most had still come.

For a moment, everything before his eyes turned gray; he couldn’t see the slightest bit of hope.

Offending the Xing Family, ranked third among the Ten Great Families—he only needed his heel to think of how terrifying the consequences would be.

He’d worked so hard, originally thinking that as long as he could rely on Zi Huan’s beauty to climb onto the tall branch that was the Xing Family, the clan’s revival would be just around the corner.

He’d never expected things to turn out like this. Now it was completely over; the Purple Demon Family would forever become history, with no chance of rising again.

Right now, there was still a sliver of hope, and that was Ye Fan crushing all rivals in the selection tournament and breaking into the top ten.

As long as Ye Fan could enter the top ten and gain the favor of strong people from the Upper Realm, the Purple Demon Family would still have a glimmer of hope; otherwise, they would truly be doomed for all eternity.

"Save your effort. Let me be clear: even if I die, I will never marry you. You can give up that idea!" Zi Huan stepped forward, staring straight at Xingtian as she spoke.

"That’s not up to you!"

Xingtian let out a vicious laugh and said, "Anything I, Xingtian, set my eyes on, I’ve never failed to get. You want to die? I偏won’t let you die. I’ll make you twist and writhe in pleasure under my crotch, make you fall hopelessly in love with me, and only then toss you away, turn you into a slut that every man can fuck!"

"What the fuck are you supposed to be? What gives you the right to decide Zi Huan’s life?!"

Ye Fan took a step forward, abruptly unleashing a fierce aura.

"Boom!"

Invisible killing intent condensed into tangible substance and blasted Xingtian flying in an instant. That dense killing intent had been accumulated over hundreds and thousands of life-and-death battles—it was terrifying to the extreme.

That line about making Zi Huan a **** that every man could enjoy instantly ignited Ye Fan’s rage!

Ye Fan already felt guilty toward Zi Huan. Just now she had scolded Xingtian on his behalf, letting him see her unyielding side, and at the same time making him deeply feel his place in Zi Huan’s heart and that deep, deep love.

"It’s over, this time it’s completely over!"

Zi Xiaoyi felt like the sky was collapsing. He dropped to the ground at once, eyes vacant, muttering "it’s over" over and over.

"You..."

Xingtian was greatly shocked. Looking at Ye Fan’s age, he didn’t seem much older than himself, but that body full of evil aura made his heart tremble. Just how many living beings had he slaughtered to accumulate such terrifying evil aura?!

"Get lost, or die!"

Ye Fan was domineering to the extreme. At this point, Zi Huan had completely offended Xingtian; the two sides had already torn the mask off.

"Kid, you’ve got guts!"

Xingtian climbed up from the ground, staring at Ye Fan with hatred, as if wanting to burn his face deeply into his memory.

"Scram!"

Ye Fan didn’t even want to say one extra word, killing intent surging all over him. If he weren’t forcing himself to hold back, he truly wanted to smash Xingtian to death with his fist right now.

However—

He knew he couldn’t, not yet. The selection tournament hadn’t started, and he had yet to be noticed by any big shot from the Upper Realm. If he killed a strongest heir of one of the Ten Great Families for no reason, it would stir up a chain of trouble.

"You little bastard, you’ve offended our Young Master Xingtian, you’re dead for sure!"

"Hmph! Dying is too cheap for him. Young Master Xingtian will make him live worse than death."

Xingtian’s attendants put on a brave front with empty guts, shouting threats at Ye Fan with feigned ferocity.

"Noisy!"

Ye Fan’s eyes were sharp as blades. He strode forward and said coldly, "Either get out, or I’ll personally kick every last one of you out!"

Thump!

The few attendants shuddered all over. From Ye Fan’s tone they heard resolve; if they didn’t leave now, this young man really dared to throw them out one by one. That kind of humiliation would be huge.

They had come in high and mighty, arrogant and overbearing. If they were thrown out like garbage when they left, not only would they lose face, the Xing Family’s face would be utterly trampled as well.

Feeling Ye Fan’s overwhelming aura, Xingtian burned with rage inside. He really wanted to throw caution to the wind and strike, killing Ye Fan on the spot to avenge his earlier humiliation.

But thinking of the purpose of this trip, he still endured.

Otherwise, even if he killed Ye Fan, once the matter spread, it would still make him lose all face—he, the dignified strongest heir of the Xing Family, had been rejected by some unknown girl!

"You little ****, after the selection tournament, I’ll make him live worse than death, and you’ll be kneeling, crying, begging me to favor you!"

Xingtian restrained his killing intent and shouted harshly.
