Chapter 131: Farewell to Ya Fei, Xiao Yan is Being Chased
Xiao Ze returned to the Mittel auction house. Ya Fei had informed him earlier that she would soon be leaving for the empire's capital.
"Ya Fei jiejie, are you leaving tomorrow?" Xiao Ze asked, looking at the beautiful and charming woman in front of him.
"My training is enough, I just needed an excuse to return to the Mittel auction house headquarters," Ya Fei replied with a slight smile. "And you gave me that excuse, Xiao Ze."
"Is it because of those businesses?" Xiao Ze was surprised. Although those businesses had some weight in Wutan City, they didn't seem significant to Mittel's headquarters.
"Those businesses are just a help. The real reason is that I want to return to headquarters. Now that the Xiao family is leaving, I doubt you'll return to Wutan City," Ya Fei said, looking at Xiao Ze. Her main reason for leaving was because he wouldn't come back.
"When I get to the headquarters in the capital, you must visit me. The headquarters has more resources, and if you need help, I can be useful," Ya Fei added.
Xiao Ze was surprised to learn that he was the main reason for Ya Fei's departure. After a moment of silence, he hugged her gently.
"Don't worry. If I have time, I'll go to the Mittel auction house headquarters in the capital."
"I'll wait for your visit," Ya Fei said with a smile, though with tears in her eyes. That expression of sadness was rare in her, known for her skill and diplomacy. But facing Xiao Ze, as the farewell approached, she showed her sadness and longing.
Xiao Ze understood that the challenges he would face were too great for Ya Fei to bear, even just by his side.
The next day, Xiao Ze accompanied Ya Fei to the flying beast boarding area.
"Xiao Ze, you don't need to accompany me any further than this," Ya Fei said.
"Take care, Ya Fei jiejie," Xiao Ze replied.
"Don't worry, with your pills, my strength has improved a lot," Ya Fei said, raising her fist in a gesture of strength that looked not intimidating due to her delicacy. Noticing this, she quickly changed the subject. "Besides, in the Jia Ma Empire, few would dare confront the Mittel auction house."
Xiao Ze smiled and opened his arms, to the astonishment of the accompanying staff. Contrary to all expectations, Ya Fei hugged him tightly, to everyone's surprise.
"I'll wait for you in the capital," Ya Fei said in a tone that hinted at her tears.
"I'll definitely come!" Xiao Ze replied, watching the flying beast take off.
"Now that the last known person has left Wutan City, there's no point in staying here," Xiao Ze murmured, heading to the Great Tagore Desert.
Previously, during the fire energy hunting contest, Xiao Ze had helped Han Yue a lot, who, to not owe him, gave him a treasure map.
The map indicated a location in the Great Tagore Desert, a place with little water energy, though the map emanated strong aquatic energy. Xiao Ze hoped to find a treasure related to water.
The map was made from the skin of a high-level magical beast with a water attribute and contained powerful spiritual energy, making it very special.
Xiao Ze flew quickly to the desert, stopping in a city to buy a regional map and compare it with the treasure map. He discovered the treasure was in the territory of Queen Medusa, known for detecting any human presence in her domain.
To avoid conflicts, Xiao Ze decided to use man-serpent blood to disguise his presence. After preparing, he headed into the desert but soon noticed two powerful auras, recognizing them as Xiao Yan and Yao Lao, being chased by several Dou Wang level fighters.
"It seems my third brother caused trouble in the man-serpent territory," Xiao Ze murmured, deciding whether to intervene when Yao Lao's spiritual energy directed towards him, forcing him to act.
"My third brother has decided for me," Xiao Ze said, speeding up his flight.
Xiao Yan and Yao Lao were surprised to see someone flying faster than them but had no time to think about it due to Queen Medusa chasing them.
Thus, Xiao Ze decided to take advantage of the situation to confront the powerful Queen Medusa.
