As soon as Ye Xuan stepped out, he attracted everyone's attention.
However…
When everyone saw what he looked like, they all shook their heads.
He was clad in tattered clothing, his worn-out novice armor stained with blood, looking utterly miserable; moreover, his aura was utterly unremarkable, not at all like a formidable figure.
At that moment...
The Tiger family's three brothers couldn't help but laugh.
Even Wang Feng and Zhang Qing, who had been frightened earlier, breathed a sigh of relief!
As for Tang Rou...
Although she had harbored a glimmer of hope, it was now utterly extinguished.
How could it be this guy?
We're doomed!
This is really the end.
Who doesn't know about Ye Xuan's situation?
This guy became a so-called Dragon Control Master during the Awakening Ceremony.
Although this profession is a hidden one...
It's completely unable to tame dragons, making it a useless profession!
Without a pet, the combat strength of this profession is zero.
But to tame a dragon, how difficult is that?
The lofty dragons are the pinnacle of magical beasts.
Not only are they powerful, but they are also arrogant; how could such creatures easily be subjected to human enslavement?
Even so-called inferior ones, like drakes and wyverns, are also powerful.
The lower-tier dragons can be tamed, but acquiring them isn't easy; it requires a high price, and having the money doesn't guarantee their purchase.
The key point is...
The profession of a Dragon Control Master is inherently noble.
Even if you got your hands on those low-tier dragons, you still couldn't form a bond!
A Dragon Control Master can only form a bond with those pure-blooded higher-tier dragons!
This makes the profession one that enjoys self-amusement but is practically useless.
As for why Ye Xuan had entered the Netherworld Forest that day and is still alive now...
Nobody knows!
However, seeing him now covered in blood and wearing tattered clothes suggests that this kid hasn't had a good time here these past few days.
"I thought it was someone else! It turns out to be you, this useless guy!"
Once Wang Feng got a clear look at Ye Xuan, he dismissed him entirely, a mocking expression on his face.
"What? Do you know this kid?"
Big Tiger, on the other hand, was very cautious.
He worried about unexpected complications arising.
This was his natural vigilance as a rogue, even if the opponent was a useless one.
"Brother! This guy is my schoolmate, and also a useless one!"
"Don't worry, this guy not only lacks power but also has no background; he's just an ant, easily crushed."
Wang Feng was unconcerned.
With Wang Feng's confident remarks, Big Tiger was finally at ease.
He couldn't see Ye Xuan's attributes, but if Wang Feng knew so much about Ye Xuan, he could rest assured.
He didn't think Ye Xuan could have undergone earth-shattering changes in just a few days.
"Ye Xuan! You shouldn't have come out! Since you have witnessed what's happening here, you should quickly find a way to notify my father and have him avenge me."
Tang Rou looked at Ye Xuan, with a hint of reproach in her words.
"Don't stir them up now, find a way to run, run away quickly!"
Tang Rou had already lost hope.
She felt there was no way she could survive today anyway.
But regardless, she still hoped Ye Xuan could escape quickly, so that at least these beasts could be held accountable.
Perhaps if Ye Xuan escapes...
These beasts, fearing the consequences, might not dare to act recklessly.
After all, her father wasn't a pushover. If he knew what happened here, would these guys still dare to act recklessly?
Tang Rou urged Ye Xuan to flee.
But her words seemed like a joke to the Tiger family's three brothers.
"This kid thinks he can escape from us?"
Second Tiger and Third Tiger seamlessly blocked Ye Xuan's retreat.
Wang Feng and Zhang Qing exchanged a glance and also joined in, completely enclosing Ye Xuan.
Under these circumstances...
How could Ye Xuan escape?
There wasn't even a chance.
"Brat, you were too arrogant earlier! When you jumped out, you scared Big Tiger, which made me very angry."
"Now I'm giving you two choices! Either you end yourself, or we will!"
Big Tiger's eyes were filled with a brutal gaze.
To him, killing people wasn't a big deal.
But what surprised them was...
Ye Xuan, a useless person in everyone's eyes, showed no hint of fear in such a desperate situation.
On the contrary, he seemed very calm.
There wasn't a shred of panic in his eyes.
His demeanor suggested he didn't take these guys seriously, rather, he was filled with contempt.
"Just as well... I've never fought humans before; you guys will make for good practice!"
Ye Xuan's eyes glinted with killing intent.
In an instant!
He drew his longsword.
It was a novice sword, already battered, full of nicks, once again inciting laughter.
"Get him!"
Big Tiger, seeing Ye Xuan ready to fight with this thing, wasted no more words, waved his hand, and charged Ye Xuan with his knife.
The other four followed suit.
Despite not taking Ye Xuan seriously, they dared not be careless!
Seeing this...
Tang Rou closed her eyes in despair, tears streaming down.
Although Ye Xuan indeed lacked real skills, he was still a living person. That such a living person would sacrifice his life for her, being killed by these beasts...
This made her heart ache.
At the same time, she suddenly felt that Ye Xuan wasn't bad.
But why was he risking his life for her?
Could it be that this person had a crush on her?
But now, with things as they were, what use was any of that?
Both of them were going to die here today.
She now felt regret, deep regret.
As a young lady, she didn't need to take risks; she could have easily completed her training with her father's bodyguards.
She just wanted to challenge herself, stubbornly sneaking out, ignoring her uncle's advice.
Unaware of the perils of this world!
"What to do... What can we do?" Tang Rou kept asking herself, even though it was a certain death, she was still hoping for a miracle.
"Aaaaah!"
A painful scream echoed.
