Oh no! I, the weakling, have become the villain!

Even if he's mute, you can't bully him like this.

Xu Yao turned to look at Cheng Feng, and seeing Cheng Feng's dazed expression, not knowing how to leave, Xu Yao was speechless.

"What are you doing here? Go stand guard at the door. What, are you really going to spy on me here?"

The two looked at each other, Cheng Feng staring straight at Xu Yao without even blinking.

Seeing Chengfeng like this, Xu Yao felt uneasy.

If Chengfeng suddenly gets angry, he probably can't beat him, right?

Xu Yao looked Cheng Feng up and down, noticing his strong physique; he could even see the muscles on his chest through his shirt. This…

Xu Yao swallowed hard, just as he was about to try to salvage the situation, Cheng Feng turned around and walked out, leaving Xu Yao alone in the room.

Xu Yao looked at his bed, then at the living dead man, hesitated for a moment, and then went back to bed and lay down.

Sleep is the most important thing in the world. He didn't sleep well yesterday, so he must sleep well today!

Xu Yao went to bed, lay down, closed his eyes, and began to rest until a knock on the door woke him up in the evening.

"Master Xu, the dinner that the headmaster asked us to prepare for you has arrived. When will you have time to eat, Master Xu?"

Have a meal?

When Xu Yao opened his eyes, he found that the entire room was completely dark. He went over and turned on the light before heading towards the door.

He opened the door and took the lunchbox from the maid.

Seeing that the maid still showed no sign of leaving, Xu Yao looked at the lunchbox in his hand and then at the maid.

"Is there something else?"

The maid nodded and said, "The head of the hall said that you should go to the main hall after you finish your meal. He will be waiting for Master Xu there."

After saying that, the maid turned and left.

Why call him again?

Now, whenever he hears the Blood Demon summon him, Xu Yao feels uneasy, fearing that he might accidentally lose his life.

But now, besides obeying, does he have any other options?

No!

Looking at the lunchbox in his hand, Xu Yao suddenly lost interest in it.

He turned his head to look to the side and found that Chengfeng was still standing at the door, standing straight without making any small movements.

Remembering his tongue, Xu Yao decided to show some kindness and waved to Chengfeng, saying, "Come in with me."

After saying that, he went inside and stopped next to the table.

After he sat down, Chengfeng went in and stood by the table, showing no intention of sitting down.

"What are you standing there for? Sit down!"

Xu Yao complained, but Cheng Feng acted as if he hadn't heard him and just stood there dumbfounded.

Seeing his expression, Xu Yao simply ignored him, opened the lunchbox, and took out the food.

Braised pork knuckle and roast duck are all his favorite foods.

Xu Yao got up and pulled off a duck leg. Before he could even put it in his mouth, the duck leg stopped right there at his lips.

As an alchemist, he was extremely familiar with medicinal herbs, which allowed him to precisely control the dosage. The roast duck had been laced with aphrodisiac herbs; anyone who ingested even a little would feel their whole body burning up and want to find a place to release their pent-up emotions.

It's comparable to aphrodisiacs, but it's a more advanced version.

Using something like this against him, isn't that a misunderstanding?

"what happened?"

A voice rang out, and Xu Yao shook his head, then suddenly looked up at Cheng Feng in shock.

Did you speak?

This guy's tongue was cut off, so how can he still talk?

Chengfeng seemed to understand what Xu Yao was thinking and said, "I injured my throat when I was a child. It wasn't that my tongue was cut off, but I just didn't want to talk."

Apart from the head of the hall, no one knew that he could speak; they all thought he was mute.

He was too lazy to explain, after all, it felt pretty good to be mute.

Hearing this, Xu Yao was at a loss for words. It seemed that he had given all his sympathy to the wrong person.

Not wanting to talk? What kind of weird reason is that?

Just as Xu Yao was about to speak, he saw Cheng Feng draw the sword from his waist and then turn around to look behind him.

Then I saw the maid who had delivered the food earlier walk over.

The maid's demeanor was completely different from before. Xu Yao looked at the woman's neck and found traces of a human skin mask on it.

Want to kill him?

Xu Yao immediately stood up and hid behind Cheng Feng, shouting at the person in front, "You, do you know where this is? This is the Blood Demon Hall! You dare to trespass into the Blood Demon Hall? Aren't you afraid of dying?"

That said, he had only just opened the Blood Demon Hall and hadn't offended anyone, so who would want him dead?

No, there is one!

Xu Yao looked the woman up and down, becoming even more certain that this maid was the one he had in mind.

Xu Yao stepped out from behind Cheng Feng, shook his head at the man, and said sarcastically, "You lost the match today, so what, you want to come and kill me?"

"You said you would make the loser leave the Blood Demon Hall. Now it's too late to back out!"

After saying that, she turned to Chengfeng, nodded to him, and said seriously, "I believe you. She is Zhihua, a level five alchemist from your Blood Demon Hall. You have to protect me!"

Alchemists generally don't have very high cultivation levels.

Refining pills requires immense talent; without it, one might spend a lifetime refining pills and remain unknown.

Anyone with even a little talent will devote themselves wholeheartedly to alchemy, since alchemists are highly sought after here.

Take him for example, wasn't he captured and brought to the Blood Demon Hall?

If one wants to focus entirely on alchemy, there will naturally be no time for cultivation, making one incomparable to those cultivators.

However, besides trusting Li Chengfeng, what other options does he have now?

Now that her identity had been exposed, Zhihua no longer wanted to hide it. She raised her hand and tore off the human skin mask from her face, looking at Chengfeng with disdain.

"Don't forget who I am! I'm a fifth-grade alchemist! Get out of my way, or I'll make you pay with your life!"

If a fifth-rank official is already showing off like this, then should a seventh-rank official like him go out on the street and shout it out?

Chengfeng didn't waste any words and rushed over. Zhihua just stood there without moving, and only when Chengfeng was about to get close did she grab a handful from her pocket and throw them out.

He leaned back and covered his mouth and nose with his arm, trying to block out the powder.

However, he was a step too slow and inhaled some of the powder, causing him to fall to the ground.

Seeing Chengfeng's appearance, Zhihua sneered and mocked, "Never fight an alchemist, or she'll make sure you don't even know how you died!"

"is it?"

Xu Yao retreated little by little, creating distance between himself and Zhihua.

Thinking that Xu Yao wanted to escape, he smiled and shook his head, then walked over step by step, approaching Xu Yao.

"You were lucky to have the sect leader protecting you before, but do you think you can get out of here alive now that the sect leader isn't here?"

She is the way she is now because of Xu Yao. Once Xu Yao dies, everything will return to normal.

The sect leader will then allow her to return to the Blood Demon Sect and become its alchemist.
