Top Grade Pure Beauty CEO

Li Xiaoyao was in the midst of conversation with two people when suddenly, a group burst out from the crowd. They strode over purposefully, their presence filled with intimidating momentum.

"Are those your friends?" Li Tinghai frowned and glanced over, presumably finding the other party's arrogance a bit too much, hence his use of a rhetorical question.

"Friends?" Li Xiaoyao assumed they were members of the Nangong Family and turned his head to look. When he saw a group of blond, blue-eyed foreigners, he was momentarily stunned, especially upon recognizing Korr among them.

With a slight frown, Li Xiaoyao couldn't understand why this guy had shown up again.

Could it be that he had inadvertently damaged the guy's brain yesterday? Otherwise, Li Xiaoyao really couldn't comprehend why this fellow would come looking for trouble knowing he couldn't beat him.

"Two esteemed elders," greeted an elder from the Fire Elementalists' Guild, bowing with a fist in palm before glaring at Li Xiaoyao and saying, "This youngster is too arrogant, bold enough to provoke even two esteemed elders. Just yesterday, when we were not around, he laid his hands on a member of our guild. We happened to see him today and couldn't believe he had the audacity to show such disrespect to the elders."

Upon hearing this, Li Tinghai understood that there was a grievance between the other party and Li Xiaoyao and said, "You all..."

But the guild elder didn't let him finish, cutting him off forcefully and emotionally, "Rest assured, respected elders, I will discipline such a brazen and arrogant person. You both must have already expended so much energy in the Secret Realm recently, so please don't trouble yourselves to take action over such a trivial matter."

Without waiting for Li Tinghai and his companion's reaction, he ordered directly, "Take him down."

The ten or so people from the Fire Elementalists' Guild immediately surrounded Li Xiaoyao, looking fierce and menacing.

Li Xiaoyao was speechless; he was wondering why he suddenly had a mental lapse, and it turned out they wanted to show off in front of the two elders and curry favor with them.

Too bad that each of these guys was brainless.

They didn't even investigate the relationship between himself and Li Tinghai, yet they were making grand statements here.

Li Xiaoyao found it somewhat amusing to talk about it.

Li Tinghai was already becoming impatient, and just as he was about to speak, Li Xiaoyao said, "Are you sure you want to take action against me?"

The guild elder sneered, "You dared to harass the two elders, so even if we killed you today, it would be justified. Take action!"

As the words were spoken, the ten-plus people immediately began summoning their elemental spirits, and clusters of flames emerged from the palms of their hands, instantly raising the temperature of the surrounding space.

Onlookers began to discuss the scene before them as they saw it unfold.

"They're from the Irish Fire Elementalists' Guild."

"Who's that kid? How did he offend them?"

"Who knows, just bad luck, I guess."

"Tsk tsk, over a dozen fire elementalists, eh? That's quite a strong force."

"I see that kid is so young, his cultivation level could be astounding, only reaching the Abstinence Realm; he's definitely going to suffer."

Li Xiaoyao looked on calmly at these people, not bothering to draw a weapon or use any spells, simply smiling faintly and saying, "Using fire in front of me?"

Eager to show off in front of Li Tinghai and the other, the guild elder shouted loudly, "Attack!"

Streams of fire, taking the form of sharp arrows, fire serpents, or other manifestations, hurtled toward Li Xiaoyao with terrifying force.

Li Tinghai and Li Yunchen did not intervene. Li Chengfeng had praised Li Xiaoyao's cultivation talent in front of them without reservation, and they wanted to see for themselves if he was indeed so talented.

The dozen or so flames intertwined in mid-air, creating a small sea of fire. The space at that moment seemed almost about to melt from the intense heat.

The flames roared, emitting a fearsome temperature, enveloping Li Xiaoyao within it.

Li Xiaoyao stood unmoved as a mountain; as the flames were about to engulf his body, he suddenly opened his mouth.

A ferocious and imperious suction force was released from his mouth, and to the astonishment of the onlookers, the flames that filled the sky, under his breath, offered no resistance at all and were completely absorbed by him.

When the last wisp of flame was devoured by him, the members and Elders of the council stared with their eyes wide and mouths agape, unable to believe what they were seeing.

"How... how is this possible?"

"All the flames, he swallowed all of them?"

"Could this be a spell from Xuan Country?"

"That's terrifying!"

Reacting, the council's Elders immediately shouted, "Execute martial skills!"

Li Xiaoyao was able to devour flames, possibly because he had practiced a cultivation technique that specifically countered fire, but martial skills had hard requirements on a Cultivator's true strength. He didn't believe that Li Xiaoyao could withstand the collective force of more than a dozen of them on his own.

Li Tinghai and his companion saw Li Xiaoyao swallow the sky full of flames and couldn't help but have their eyes light up slightly.

Even with their wide experience, they couldn't discern how Li Xiaoyao had managed to consume the flames.

The dozen or so people gave up on fire spirits, clenched their fists, and rushed forward quickly, their punches fierce and carrying a killing intent.

"Playing rough, huh?" Li Xiaoyao grinned and suddenly clenched his fists, making a crackling sound.

"Kid, eat my fist!" One man charged forward first, his punch weighing at least a few thousand pounds. Even a Cultivator at the peak of the Abstinence Realm wouldn't dare to take it head-on.

Li Xiaoyao raised his right arm and extended a finger, lightly tapping on the man's fist as it approached.

"Bang!"

An immense force burst forth from his fingertips, and the man's body, like a rag doll, was kicked fiercely by a giant elephant. He flew backward like a ball and rolled down the hillside.

The others paused for a moment, a flash of shock crossing their eyes.

The next moment, Li Xiaoyao's movements didn't stop as he pointed again and again in rapid succession.

Like a gust sweeping away fallen leaves, effortlessly and unstoppably, Li Xiaoyao sent all the men flying away in just a few breaths, leaving only one council Elder standing.

The council Elder's legs trembled as he stood in front of Li Xiaoyao, his lips quivering.

Li Xiaoyao stepped forward, slapped the Elder across the face, and the Elder stumbled backward two steps. Li Xiaoyao had used just ordinary strength, not purposely increasing it; this act was to insult him.

"Remember, my name is Li Xiaoyao." After speaking, Li Xiaoyao lifted his foot and kicked the council Elder in the stomach, sending him flying.

Having dealt with the minor trouble, Li Xiaoyao turned back and walked towards Li Tinghai and the other, frowning with a complex tone, "Great Elder, Second Elder, about my father..."

The Great Elder sighed and glanced down, saying, "Let's talk somewhere else."

The three turned and walked towards the edge of the cliff, and as the onlookers saw there was no more commotion, they dispersed as well.

The Elder who had been kicked away by Li Xiaoyao got up and saw that Li Xiaoyao was actually conversing amicably with the two old men, and he was taken aback.

"The kid... knows those two seniors?"

After realization dawned on him, the council Elder couldn't help but become extremely annoyed.

What a bunch of idiots.
