Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Ye Buxiu was extraordinary, but the father and son had poor eyesight and were not cultivators. Only they dared to openly challenge Ye Buxiu!

In fact, the soldier's reminder was still based on the worst-case scenario, since he had never seen a real immortal. But the boy in front of him gave him the feeling that a single thought from him could kill him several times over!

Huang Yan and his son Huang Wen were stunned and stood there, somewhat at a loss!

Ye Buxiu knew that this was, after all, the territory of the Huozhong family, and he shouldn't cause trouble, so he spoke calmly.

"Apologize to her, and I can overlook your rudeness!"

Ye Buxiu didn't realize that when he said those words, he really did have a bit of the aura of a big shot!

Huang and Wen were so frightened that they immediately peed their pants and kowtowed to Bai Xiaxia!

"Yes, we're sorry, we were wrong!"

Bai Xiaxia looked at Ye Buxiu with a delighted expression.

"I didn't expect him to still care about me!"

"However, we still need to use missions to bring us closer!"

The system's voice rang in Ye Buxiu's mind.

[Host's protective behavior towards his wife detected; cultivation level increased by one level as a reward!]

"?!!"

"Protecting my wife? System, are you kidding me? Even you're messing with me?"

[Please don't doubt me, host. I am the embodiment of wisdom! Your little schemes cannot escape my detection!]

Ye Buxiu refused to accept this and retorted sharply to the system.

"Detection? What did you detect about me?"

"The host's feelings of love for Bai Xiaxia have been detected!"

"Pah! What kind of love is this! Are you poisonous?!"

Ye Buxiu was speechless. Not only did the people around him say that Bai Xiaxia and Bai Xiaxia looked like a couple, but even his own system started saying so!

Are you ganging up on me?!

Ye Buxiu certainly didn't believe the system's nonsense. His relationship with Bai Xiaxia was just a mission-related one, and at most, a temporary lodging relationship!

That's all!

"Besides, he's just a high-ranking official who's been promoted. He's only back home for a few days to rest. Do you really think that Bai Xiaxia would fall for me after just a few days together?"

"Then give up your promising future and elope with me?"

Bai Xiaxia could hear Ye Buxiu's thoughts, and she was stunned after hearing those words.

"A promotion? Why would I want a promotion?"

"Elopement, however, is a good idea!"

[Host, please don't feel inferior. You slept with her yesterday!]

"puff!"

"Wasn't that the task you gave me?"

A girl needs a strong tree to lean on when she's most vulnerable, and you played that role very successfully last night!

[Furthermore, if a girl lets you sleep with her, it shows she trusts and relies on you!]

"Um... I felt like I stayed with her all night last night like a father. Do you think she might see me as her father?"

Bai Xiaxia found it amusing, but she had to hold it in because of Ye Buxiu, her face turning bright red!

Ye Buxiu was arguing heatedly with the system and didn't notice Bai Xiaxia's unusual behavior.

"By the way, system, can you detect what level of strength Bai Xiaxia possesses?"

After waiting for a while, the system did not respond to Ye Buxiu, who frowned.

How come they suddenly disappeared while they were arguing!

Seeing Nanten frown, Huozhong, who was standing to the side, immediately understood and stood up to stop the father and son from kneeling.

"Because you two have disrespectfully defied your seniors, our Firestorm Sect does not welcome you, and moreover,"

Hizaka's expression suddenly turned serious!

"The Firestorm Sect has made it clear that it will never be on good terms with your Crimson Flame Empire!"

"What?"

Upon hearing this, Huang Wen immediately lost his composure again!

When I came here, I could have talked to my father and asked him to put pressure on this small sect and get Huozhong to bring his daughter Huotong to me!

Now look what's happened! Huo Tong not only failed to get away with it, but also gained another enemy!

There was more than one person involved; since Fire Fortress had spoken up, everyone present would give him some face!

This is bad, this is the start of a ban!

Huang Yan was immediately unsettled upon hearing this.

"How dare you treat us like this! Do you even know...?"

bass!

Huang Yan felt a murderous gaze, and then he collapsed to the ground and fainted!

Bai Xiaxia withdrew her gaze.

"Hmph, how dare you interrupt my conversation with my husband!"

Ye Buxiu was talking to the system the whole time, but the system didn't reply to him at all!

He wasn't discouraged at all; instead, he smiled victoriously!

"Hehe, are you speechless after being roasted?"

"Why didn't you just admit defeat earlier!"

Seeing Ye Buxiu's satisfied smile, Huozhong felt much better!

It seems the senior is quite satisfied with my behavior!

After thinking it over, Huozhong came to Ye Buxiu's side again.

"Senior, please sit back down!"

Ye Buxiu had already taken a seat on the side; he didn't want to sit in the middle like a monkey for them to watch!

Bai Xiaxia stayed quietly beside Ye Buxiu, but what puzzled Ye Buxiu was why her face was so red.

Are you feeling unwell?

Bai Xiaxia gave Nan Tian a pure and alluring smile.

"without..."

That smile made Ye Buxiu's heart flutter!

"Damn, who could stand her laugh!"
