The words "Pharmaceutical Clan" echoed in her ears, and the girl, who had been lowering her head, suddenly lifted it. Her star-like, sparkling eyes were filled with astonishment.
Seeing the surprise in the girl's eyes, Fang Chen smiled instead. Although he didn't know how this girl ended up here alone, he recognized that she was a member of the Pharmaceutical Clan. Moreover, sensing the rich aura of medicinal energy within her, Fang Chen knew that her status within the Pharmaceutical Clan was likely quite significant.
Since she was a member of the Pharmaceutical Clan, that was enough for him.
A gentle smile appeared on Fang Chen's lips, and a hint of nostalgia flickered in his dark eyes.
The Pharmaceutical Clan was a group of people who had long been associated with various medicinal herbs; one could say that the entire clan consisted of highly skilled healers. In his previous life, when Fang Chen was severely injured during his quest for revenge, he had once received help from someone in the Pharmaceutical Clan.
To repay enmity with enmity and kindness with kindness was simply his nature. If he had been hesitant to intervene just moments ago, upon realizing that this girl was from the Pharmaceutical Clan, he had already made a new decision in his heart.
With a flick of his sleeve, ignoring the astonishment in the girl's eyes, Fang Chen gently pushed her aside. Then he turned around to face the approaching Snowy Mastiff, which was now only a few yards away. He could clearly see the excitement and ferocity glimmering in its eyes. The gentle expression on his face slowly faded away, replaced by a chilling aura that suddenly surged from within him.
"This guy..." Ignoring the cold aura emanating from Fang Chen, Bai Dongchi felt the excitement radiating from his White Mastiff. His eyes sparkled with intensity as he stood up abruptly from where he had been sitting beside the Enchanting Woman. Having raised White Mastiffs for years, he could almost determine the level of treasure possessed by an opponent just by observing his dog's excitement.
Yet over the years, he had rarely felt such exhilaration from his White Mastiff.
A treasure—an actual treasure!
Bai Dongchi's body trembled slightly with excitement.
At that moment, the Snowy Mastiff, almost telepathically connected to its master, swung its massive paw covered in fur toward Fang Chen with great force. The sound of rushing wind echoed as severe Qi Energy coiled around Fang Chen like serpents.
With its enormous body and Ling Kong charging at Fang Chen, the momentum generated by this strike from the Snowy Mastiff was even more powerful than that of many martial artists at the same level, causing many onlookers to change their expressions.
Watching Fang Chen beneath the Snowy Mastiff's paw, several people shook their heads in disbelief.
How could a boy who hadn't even reached Qi Boundary possibly contend with a mutated Snowy Mastiff at Qi Boundary?
The massive paw of the Snowy Mastiff was getting closer to Fang Chen, and everyone seemed to envision Fang Chen being swatted away by the Snowy Mastiff. Even the girl who had been pushed away by Fang Chen earlier was now tightly pursing her lips, looking distressed.
However, in the face of such a severe attack, Fang Chen showed little reaction. On his calm face, aside from a hint of unyielding coldness, there was no other expression. With his arms crossed, as the Qi Energy surged rapidly within him, Fang Chen began to spin rapidly in place like a top.
"Ridiculous! Do you really think that striking such a bizarre pose will allow you to withstand the Snowy Mastiff's attack?" Bai Dongchi snorted coldly, a sinister smile on his face, but that smile froze in an instant.
Not only him, but the onlookers around were also filled with disbelief.
What were they witnessing?
Fang Chen had actually managed to grab hold of one of the Snowy Mastiff's giant paws. That’s right; while spinning rapidly, Fang Chen had somehow reached out and caught the paw that was coming at him.
"Roar!" Having one paw restrained was extremely uncomfortable for the already somewhat sentient Snowy Mastiff. It suddenly reared up on its hind legs, while its other front paw came crashing down towards Fang Chen's head.
"Ah!" A scream suddenly came from atop the Snowy Mastiff. The Enchanting Woman, dressed provocatively, rolled off the back of the Snowy Mastiff like a tumbleweed. Bai Dongchi, clearly not new to this situation, quickly grabbed onto the thick fur on the Snowy Mastiff's back and pressed himself against it.
"Up!" Just as he steadied himself, Fang Chen shouted angrily. At that moment, his slender arms bulged significantly, veins popping out as an immense force erupted from within him.
The Snowy Mastiff, towering at least twice Fang Chen's height, stumbled as it was unexpectedly pulled by Fang Chen. Moreover, this was just the beginning.
Fang Chen stepped back while holding onto one of the Snowy Mastiff's giant paws.
Boom.
The ground beneath Fang Chen exploded, sinking a full inch around him. As he pulled, the body of the Snowy Mastiff shook again, and then something astonishing happened that left everyone wide-eyed.
Fang Chen, whose body was slender and smaller than half of the Snowy Mastiff's size, actually lifted the Snowy Mastiff off the ground and then hurled it away with great force.
Bang! Bang.
A light and a heavy sound of landing suddenly echoed. When the Snow Mastiff was thrown away by Fang Chen, Bai Dongchi finally realized something was wrong, let go of his grip, and rolled down from mid-air, crashing onto the ground.
Casting a faint glance at Bai Dongchi, Fang Chen clapped his hands and called out to the girl who was still in shock not far away: "Let's go."
"Okay." The girl, regaining her senses, nodded lightly and quickly followed Fang Chen's retreating figure.
"This guy hasn't reached the Qi Boundary yet."
"At such a young age, he possesses this level of combat power. Which family's young master is he?"
"The Bai Family won't let this go easily."
...
After Fang Chen left, a cacophony of discussions erupted around them.
There were indeed figures in Grand Mall who dared to disregard the Bai Family, and they were not few. However, those were all well-known veteran experts. Now, the infamous Young Master Bai Dongchi of the Bai Family had been publicly humiliated.
Oh, wait, it wasn't Bai Dongchi who was beaten; it was his mutated Snow Mastiff. But what difference did that make?! As the Young Master of the Bai Family, he was always the one bullying others; no one had ever dared to bully him. Today, he was actually bullied by someone who hadn't even reached the Qi Boundary. What was going on?
"Get lost!" Bai Dongchi roared, dispersing the crowd around him. His gaze fixed on Fang Chen's gradually fading figure, his pale face twisted with resentment.
As if sensing the malicious glare from behind him, Fang Chen suddenly turned around after putting some distance between them. The indifference in his eyes felt like looking at a corpse, causing Bai Dongchi's heart to tighten. The resentment on his face instantly turned pale, and his body trembled slightly. In Fang Chen's gaze, he seemed to see some great terror.
Retracting his gaze, Fang Chen walked towards the nearby Haoyuan Auction House without looking back at Bai Dongchi again. He had never held any good feelings for these spoiled brats who relied on their backgrounds, were unlearned and arrogant, and took lives at will.
Previously, Bai Dongchi dared to manipulate the Snow Mastiff to attack him. According to Fang Chen's original intention, he would have already killed them all without hesitation. However, considering that this was the Grand Mall and that the Bai Family had significant power here, with several strong individuals from the Alchemy Realm, if he were to kill the Young Master of the Bai Family, it would be extremely difficult for him to leave the Grand Mall.
It was precisely because of these considerations that Fang Chen reluctantly restrained his killing intent. Yet sometimes, when he did not wish to kill, some people would still provoke him.
"I, Bai Dongchi, have never wanted for anything!" Recovering from Fang Chen's indifferent gaze, Bai Dongchi felt increasingly humiliated and clenched his fists as he spoke fiercely.
After taking a deep look in the direction Fang Chen had left, Bai Dongchi no longer wished to stay there for even a moment. He turned and led the Snow Mastiff away, not even glancing at the Enchanting Woman beside him.
...
"Did you sneak out?" On the bustling street, Fang Chen looked at the girl who was closely following him and asked.
He knew very well that the Pharmaceutical Clan was extremely hostile towards outsiders. After all, their cultivation method was one of gradual accumulation; in the early stages, they had little combat power. Moreover, after long-term use of various precious herbs, including spiritual medicines, their bodies resembled humanoid spiritual medicines, easily provoking some martial artists' wicked thoughts.
The reason why Bai Dongchi's White Mastiff reacted to the girl was that in its eyes, she was indeed a humanoid spiritual medicine.
The girl grasped her clothing tightly. Upon hearing his words, her delicate brows suddenly furrowed slightly. She nodded and finally responded softly.
"As expected." Fang Chen shook his head helplessly; he had already anticipated this outcome.
How could someone from the Pharmaceutical Clan be allowed to leave their clan like this? If it weren't for her being alone, how would Bai Dongchi have dared to act that way? It should be noted that although the Pharmaceutical Clan was mysterious and mostly reclusive, their strength far surpassed that of a mere Bai Family in the Grand Mall.
"Little One, don't you know how dangerous it is out here?" Fang Chen glared at the girl and admonished her with an air of maturity.
Having suddenly acquired such a burden by his side and having offended a powerful force within the Grand Mall made it impossible for him not to feel a headache. However, Fang Chen knew that he could not abandon this girl for now.
"Aren't you only a few years older than me?" The girl looked closely at Fang Chen and said earnestly.
A clear and pleasant voice, combined with a serious expression, caused Fang Chen, who was stepping forward, to stumble slightly, and the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably.
Although he had lived two lives, adding up to over a hundred years, at this moment, he looked like a seventeen-year-old boy, not much older than the girl from the Pharmaceutical Clan.
Seeing Fang Chen's awkwardness, a rare smile appeared on the girl's face. She then wrinkled her delicate nose and asked, "You still haven't answered me. How did you know I am from the Pharmaceutical Clan?"
"Because..." Fang Chen blinked and gestured for the girl to lean closer. Then he suddenly said, "I'm not telling you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Chen laughed and walked toward the nearby Haoyuan Auction House.
"You jerk!" The girl stomped her foot in anger, her silver teeth clenched tightly.
However, she soon looked at Fang Chen's retreating figure with some surprise. Usually calm and even somewhat indifferent, she didn't understand why her emotions would fluctuate so easily in front of this annoying guy.
"Hey, what's your name?" Seeing that Fang Chen had walked a distance away, the girl hurriedly caught up and said, "Even though you're annoying, you helped me once. I owe you a favor and will definitely repay it in the future."
Shaking his head, Fang Chen was about to refuse, but seeing the girl's serious gaze made him smile and say, "Fang Chen."
"Fang Chen, got it. Remember my name too; I'm Xia Lingyue."
