Battle Through the Heavens: Attribute Draw, Top-Tier Comprehension at the Start

Ya Fei understood the meaning behind Qin Yu's words; he was sincere.

Having worked in the auction house for so many years, she has met all sorts of people and can generally distinguish between genuine and fake, good and bad.

"Don't worry, Master Qin."

Ya Fei withdrew her alluring expression, and her tone became more serious:

"From today onwards, the yard next to yours will be a key protected item of my Mittel Auction House."

"We will not interfere in your personal life, but your personal safety will be absolutely guaranteed."

She paused for a moment, then added:

"Even if I am transferred away from the Utan City branch in the future, I will definitely continue to follow up on this matter."

Qin Yu nodded, then took out a list from his storage ring and handed it to Ya Fei.

"Also, could you please help me collect the medicinal herbs mentioned above? I will pay you extra."

Ya Fei took the list and glanced at it.

There are quite a few types of medicinal herbs listed above, but with the channels of the Mittel Auction House, it won't take long to gather them all.

Her gaze lingered on the list for a moment, then she folded it up and tucked it into her sleeve. She looked up and smiled at Qin Yu.

"I've decided to send this batch of medicinal herbs directly to Master Qin."

Qin Yu raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Miss Yafei, what is this...?"

"Ten grade four pills are only enough to protect the safety of a mother and daughter."

"My Mittel Auction House has already made a huge profit from this deal. If we were to charge extra for the medicinal herbs, people would say that I, Ya Fei, have no manners."

She spoke casually, but the meaning was clear: she wanted to befriend Qin Yu, and therefore couldn't accept the money for the medicinal herbs.

"Then I'll leave it to Miss Yafei."

Qin Yu did not refuse and readily accepted Consort Ya's gift.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Qin Yu got up to take his leave.

When I walked out of the auction house, it was still early, and the sunlight slanted across the bluestone pavement, casting long shadows of the pedestrians.

Qin Yu didn't rush back, but strolled slowly along the main street, occasionally overhearing gossip from passersby:

"Have you heard? The Xiao family has acquired another shop on that street in the east of the city, and the Obama family didn't dare utter a single word."

"Nonsense, the Xiao family even wiped out the Jia Lie family, how could the Obama family dare to challenge the Xiao family now?"

"I heard that on the night the Jia Lie family was wiped out, the head of the Obama family was so frightened that he didn't sleep a wink all night, and sent someone to the Xiao family to deliver gifts early the next morning."

Nearly a year has passed, and the Xiao family has basically devoured the Jia Lie family's "inheritance," greatly increasing their strength.

Even before the Jia Lie family was destroyed, the Oba family was inferior to the Xiao family in every aspect, let alone when facing the now even more powerful Xiao family.

"Tsk tsk, the world in Wutan City is about to change."

"What changes? It's been changed for a long time. Now Wutan City is the Xiao family's territory. Haven't you noticed that the third young master of the Xiao family has been going out on the streets more often lately?"

The Obama family, unable to stand alone, could only back down step by step in the face of the thriving Xiao family.

If this trend continues, it's only a matter of time before Wutan City becomes a place where the Xiao family holds absolute power.

Or rather, it's already a one-man show run by the Xiao family.

However, Qin Yu only listened to these things as gossip.

He quickened his pace and turned into another street.

Two familiar figures caught his attention at a small stall on the street.

Qinglin's mother was squatting in front of the stall, picking through vegetables, comparing two vegetables in her hand repeatedly, as if she were carefully calculating.

Qinglin stood beside her, holding a string of bright red candied hawthorns, eating them happily, her cheeks bulging out like a little hamster.

The little girl's attention was completely focused on the candied hawthorns, and she didn't even notice Qin Yu walking up from behind.

Qin Yu slowed his pace and quietly approached.

"Azure Scales!"

"what!"

Qinglin was startled and almost dropped the candied hawthorn in her hand. When she turned around and saw Qin Yu, the fright on her face immediately turned into joy.

"Brother Qin Yu!"

Without saying a word, she let go of her mother's hand and ran towards Qin Yu, throwing herself into his arms.

Qin Yu bent down and picked her up, and Qing Lin took the opportunity to put the candied hawthorn to his mouth.

"Brother Qin Yu, have one! It's so sweet!"

Qin Yu lowered his head and took a bite. The sourness of the hawthorn and the sweetness of the sugar coating melted in his mouth, and the taste was indeed quite good.

"tasty."

He smiled and ruffled Qinglin's hair, the little girl's eyes curving into two crescent moons.

Qinglin's mother walked over carrying a vegetable basket. When she saw Qin Yu, a gentle smile appeared on her face.

"Young Master Qin, you're back."

"Yeah, I just finished taking care of some business."

Qin Yu, holding Qing Lin in one arm, casually asked:

"Have you bought everything?"

"There are still a few items missing, no rush, we'll buy them slowly."

Qin Yu nodded, and Qing Lin, who was being held, offered him a candied hawthorn.

"Brother Qin Yu, then we'll be neighbors from now on!"

"Yes, neighbor."

Qin Yu pinched her little face, took another bite, and then put Qinglin down.

"Go with your mother to buy things, and come back early after you're done."

"good!"

Qinglin responded and skipped away, holding her mother's hand. After a few steps, she turned back and waved to Qin Yu.

"Why is this little girl so lovable?"

Qin Yu waved and watched the mother and daughter disappear around the street corner before turning and going home.

Inside the room, Little Fairy Doctor was sitting cross-legged on the bed cultivating, her eyes closed, surrounded by a faint layer of purple battle aura.

Qin Yu did not disturb her. He quietly sat down at the table and looked at her.

Suddenly, Little Fairy Doctor withdrew her fighting spirit, and all the purple light instantly retreated back into her body.

Two-star Grand Master.

Little Fairy Doctor blinked, her gaze sweeping around the room before settling on Qin Yu:

"You're back!"

Little Fairy Doctor leaped off the bed and jumped directly onto Qin Yu, wrapping her arms around his neck and her legs around his waist. Qin Yu, quite skillfully, reached out and supported her thighs.

"What are you doing...?"

"I can't help missing you."

"...I've only been gone for half a day."

"I think about it for ages."

Qin Yu took two steps, placed Little Fairy Doctor on the bed, and then pressed himself down on her as well.

Little Fairy Doctor's eyes instantly became somewhat flustered, but her chin lifted slightly in a cooperative manner.

Not only her, but Qin Yu is now also somewhat indulging in that wonderful feeling.

Little Fairy Doctor's hands slid from Qin Yu's neck to his back, her body gradually softening from tension to complete limpness, the whole process taking only a few breaths.

Qin Yu felt that her hands and feet were no longer entangled with him, so he raised himself up slightly and looked down at her.

Little Fairy Doctor's lips were slightly parted, she was breathing heavily, and her eyes were glazed over, as if she had not yet recovered from the kiss.

"What's wrong? Feeling weak?"

Qin Yu's lips curled up slightly. Little Fairy Doctor glared at him and weakly punched his chest with her hand.

Qin Yu smiled, took her wrist, lowered his head and kissed her forehead, then rolled over and lay down beside her, pulling her into his arms.

"I'm going to the Xiao family in a few days, would you like to come along?"

"Where are you going?"

"Send a thank-you gift."
