"Patriarch!"
Seeing Hong Li instantly killed by Xiao Li's spear, the others were also greatly alarmed.
"Quick, summon the Old Ancestor!"
Someone shouted.
If they couldn't win, then they'd call for backup!
Xiao Li wasn't in a hurry to kill the remaining people; instead, he waited for them to bring out the Hong Family's Old Ancestor.
Either he didn't act, or he would completely eliminate the root of the problem.
Therefore, he had to wait for the Hong Family's Old Ancestor to come out, and then annihilate them all together.
"Who dares to cause trouble in my Hong Family?!"
A thunderous voice came from the depths of the Hong Family.
Immediately after, a yellow-faced old man in a red robe flew out.
It was precisely the Hong Family's Old Ancestor, Hong Tianxiao!
"You are the Hong Family's Old Ancestor?"
Xiao Li glanced at Hong Tianxiao.
A Five-Star Dou Zong was considered a strong expert with some power in the North Region of the Central Plains.
Hong Tianxiao looked at Hong Li's corpse on the ground, his eyes filled with immense anger.
"No matter who you are, daring to kill a member of my Hong Family, I will surely tear you to shreds!"
He suddenly raised his palm, enveloped in surging Dou Qi, and fiercely struck towards Xiao Li!
Xiao Li smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, pointed a finger, and said,
"Blazing Sun Finger!"
A three-colored flame shot out from his fingertip, instantly transforming into a vast sea of fire that engulfed Hong Tianxiao.
The terrifying temperature didn't even give Hong Tianxiao any chance to react, burning him to ashes on the spot.
For a mere Five-Star Dou Zong, Xiao Li felt that moving an extra finger was a waste of his time.
The remaining members of the Hong Family were completely dumbfounded.
The Patriarch was instantly killed, and the Old Ancestor was also instantly killed.
How were they supposed to play this now?
Should they just die directly, or resist according to protocol?
Xiao Li, however, put away his long spear and said,
"Little Fairy Doctor, Green Scale, I'll leave it to you two."
Before they could react, two figures appeared in the Hong Family courtyard, joining forces to silence all the remaining Hong Family members.
Finally, Xiao Li used the Green Lotus Heart Flame to ignite the entire Hong Family, ensuring no remnants would be left.
Cutting weeds must remove the roots; this was common sense.
The entire Tianbei City watched the flames burning in the Hong Family, dumbfounded.
The Hong Family, was actually annihilated?
Who could possess such powerful strength to directly wipe out the entire Hong Family?!
Even the Han Family couldn't possibly have this strength!
But if one were to say who in Tianbei City would act against the Hong Family, besides the Han Family, they couldn't think of anyone else.
Could it be that the Han Family found helpers?
In any case, the annihilation of the Hong Family was an unprecedented earthquake for the entire Tianbei City!
Even the Han Family, looking at the distant burning flames, was stunned.
"They... really wiped out the Hong Family directly?"
Han Chi was incredulous.
Xiao Li alone accomplished something their Han Family couldn't??
Han Xue and Han Yue, however, found it reasonable.
After all, they had already witnessed Xiao Li's strength... When Xiao Li and the other two returned to the Han Family, Han Chi and everyone else had already been waiting for a long time.
"Young Master Xiao's strength is indeed extraordinary; I am impressed."
Han Chi clasped his fists deeply in a bow.
If he had any doubts about Xiao Li's strength before, all those doubts had now vanished with the great fire at the Hong Family.
No one was unconvinced.
"You're welcome, it was just a small effort."
"Young Master Xiao has been traveling all day today, and then dealt with the Hong Family; he must be very tired."
"I have already had a banquet prepared; please, Young Master Xiao and the two young ladies, take your seats," Han Chi quickly said.
Xiao Li nodded, not declining.
He had done so much work, he deserved a big meal to replenish himself.
After dinner, Han Chi also had three superior rooms prepared for Xiao Li and the two ladies — they didn't know the relationship between Xiao Li, Little Fairy Doctor, and Green Scale.
But preparing three rooms was a safe bet.
Even if they were willing to sleep in one room, it wouldn't make any difference.
After dinner.
Night had fallen deep.
In the courtyard, Han Xue looked at Xiao Li's room, hesitating whether to go over.
Just then, she saw Han Yue also arrive, and she walked straight towards Xiao Li's room.
"Why is Sister here too?"
Han Xue pondered internally, and then she saw Han Yue knock on Xiao Li's door, and enter.
"Sister must be going to thank Young Master Xiao... Then I'd better not go."
She had originally intended to go and thank Xiao Li.
But since Han Yue was there now, it would be a bit inappropriate for her to go... Inside the room.
Han Yue, dressed in a silver-white dress, stood properly in front of Xiao Li, her pretty face adorned with a sweet and charming smile.
"Elder Xiao, thank you for helping us so much."
"Back in the Academy, you saved me once."
"Now you've also saved Xiao Xue, and helped our family so much; we are truly grateful to you."
"Here is a small token of our gratitude from the Han Family; it contains various medicinal herbs and elixirs. Although I know Elder Xiao may not value them, this is the best gift we can offer right now," Han Yue handed a storage ring to Xiao Li.
Xiao Li didn't pretend to be modest and accepted the storage ring.
Even a mosquito is meat, no one would dislike having more resources.
"Of course, if Elder Xiao has any other requests, please feel free to say them. As long as we can fulfill them, we will do our utmost," Han Yue said.
Xiao Li's help to their Han Family could not be repaid with just a few medicinal herbs.
"I do have a request, but the other members of your Han Family can't help much; only you can."
Looking at the cool and beautiful woman in front of him, a smile played on Xiao Li's lips.
"Me? Elder Xiao means..." Han Yue was still a bit confused, not understanding his meaning.
"Han Yue, do you have a sweetheart?" he suddenly asked.
"Ah?"
Han Yue was stunned for a moment, suddenly understanding Xiao Li's meaning.
A faint blush appeared on her cheeks, and she whispered, "No."
Back at Jia Nan Academy, she was famously a germaphobe, rarely getting close to the opposite sex on normal days.
Naturally, she had no sweetheart.
But if she were to seriously think about it now, it seemed she couldn't be so absolute.
Because Han Yue felt that there was actually already a faint shadow of a person in her heart.
And that person was right in front of her now.
Xiao Li looked at her, stepped forward, put his large hand around her waist, and asked softly,
"Then, I wonder, can I be your sweetheart?"
Han Xue's heart couldn't stop accelerating.
"Elder Xiao..."
She felt her mind was a blur, not knowing how to answer.
But not answering was a kind of answer.
"If you don't refuse, I'll take it as you agree."
Xiao Li smiled charmingly and kissed her lips.
"Mmm~"
Han Yue clutched his arm, feeling very nervous, yet unable to refuse.
Xiao Li laid her on the bed, her clothes completely removed.
"Elder Xiao..."
Her delicate body was tense with nervousness; she was completely unprepared.
"Don't call me Elder anymore, call me Xiao Li."
"Xiao Li... I, I'm not ready yet."
"This kind of thing doesn't require preparation; just let nature take its course."
Having reached this point, Xiao Li had no intention of letting Han Yue go.
Although Han Yue was not ready, under Xiao Li's guidance, her body also reacted very honestly.
Finally, she was taken by Xiao Li... [Ding! Successfully taken Han Yue!]
