Chapter Eleven: Song Yunfei’s Storage Pouch

Song Yunfei wanted to cut down this wretch. Damn it, she kept nauseating him—he’d never seen someone so shameless in his life.

“Damn it, Bai Feiyu, you’re not even a man! You coward, if you’ve got guts, come over here—stop running your mouth… huh?” Just as Song Yunfei was cursing up a storm, the string of abuse in his mouth came to an abrupt halt. He stood there, dumbstruck, as if he’d seen a ghost.

To his astonishment, this time Bai Feiyu actually did come over. Bai Feiyu strolled lightly toward the Scarlet Flame Tiger, treading softly back and forth near the beast.

Song Yunfei: “???”

He didn’t know what had gotten into Bai Feiyu’s head, making him dare approach the Scarlet Flame Tiger, but Song Yunfei would never let slip such a rare opportunity.

At once, Song Yunfei’s face lit up with wild delight, and he dashed toward Bai Feiyu.

“Hahahaha, let’s see how you run this time, you little bastard! You’ve screwed me over!” Song Yunfei grinned viciously, trying to draw the Scarlet Flame Tiger’s attention to Bai Feiyu.

If nothing else, with both Bai Feiyu and Bai Xiaofei nearby, they could at least distract the beast. As long as the Scarlet Flame Tiger was the slightest bit distracted, he could seize the chance to escape.

And if he managed to flee, any grudges or vendettas would be meaningless. Of course, he didn’t believe Bai Feiyu could survive the tiger’s wrath!

Faced with Song Yunfei’s twisted grin, Bai Feiyu’s lips curled into a faint, mocking smile. In the next moment, he bent down and deftly swiped Song Yunfei’s storage pouch.

Every attribute orb on the ground was swiftly scooped up by Bai Feiyu as well.

“Gained 200 points of mutated fire attribute energy.”

Seeing the system’s update, Bai Feiyu paused in surprise. As expected, an adult Scarlet Flame Tiger was far stronger than those cubs—a single haul netted him two hundred points.

But now that he had Song Yunfei’s storage pouch, there was no reason to linger.

At this moment, Song Yunfei hadn’t yet realized his pouch had been stolen. Enraged, he glared at Bai Feiyu. For an outer disciple to escape unscathed from his attacks—what a humiliation!

“Roar—!”

With another human joining the fray, the Scarlet Flame Tiger let out a deafening roar, clearly infuriated. Spirit birds in the surrounding woods scattered in panic at the beast’s howl.

With a flick of its body, the Scarlet Flame Tiger raised a massive claw and swiped at both Song Yunfei and Bai Feiyu.

Facing this blow, even Song Yunfei, an inner disciple, dared not take it lightly. The beast’s full-force strike could kill him outright!

But Song Yunfei could never have predicted that the slippery Bai Feiyu, after nimbly dodging the tiger’s attack, would suddenly lash out with a kick aimed straight at him…

“Die!” Bai Feiyu snarled.

With all his strength behind the kick, catching Song Yunfei completely off guard, it was inevitable that he’d suffer a huge loss.

Moreover, by now the Scarlet Flame Tiger had developed intelligence. A quick analysis would make it clear that Song Yunfei was the biggest threat among the three humans. As for the other two? Trash!

“Ahhh—Bai Feiyu, may you die a miserable death!” Song Yunfei shrieked, tumbling to the ground like a dog eating dirt. Bai Feiyu and Bai Xiaofei watched as a red blur flashed past—the Scarlet Flame Tiger pounced onto Song Yunfei.

Within seconds, the beast tore a gaping bloody hole in Song Yunfei’s back, leaving him sprawled in a pool of blood.

Whoosh—

Seeing that Song Yunfei had successfully bought him time, Bai Feiyu wasted no time in fleeing for his life.

A chance like this—if not seized—would be a lifelong regret.

“Brother Yu, take me with you!” Bai Xiaofei cried. Realizing Song Yunfei was finished, and having witnessed Bai Feiyu’s prowess, he instantly understood that Song Yunfei had been outmaneuvered.

But he had no time to fret over that now. As long as he could survive, he’d do anything.

To Bai Xiaofei’s pleas, Bai Feiyu turned a deaf ear. Why save such a fair-weather friend? As for Bai Xiaofei’s fate—well, the Scarlet Flame Tiger would settle that.

Once the beast was done with Song Yunfei, it would come for Bai Xiaofei next. There was no way he could outrun it.

“Brother Yu, please! Take me with you—I’ll be your loyal follower! I can be trusted, it was all a misunderstanding before. With me at your side, your troubles are over!”

Bai Xiaofei screamed desperately, for he saw the bloody end of Song Yunfei and realized the beast was turning its gaze on him.

Hearing his words, Bai Feiyu paused, then abruptly changed direction.

“I knew it, Brother Yu would never abandon me!” Bai Xiaofei was moved to tears as Bai Feiyu ran back. Truly, talent would always be recognized no matter where it went; surely Brother Yu had seen his worth.

Yes, once they got out of this secret realm, he’d report everything to the sect. Then Bai Feiyu would never escape justice.

Smack—

Just as Bai Xiaofei was lost in hopeful dreams, Bai Feiyu reached him and slapped him hard across the face.

In an instant, Bai Xiaofei flew sideways like a cut kite, crashing to the ground.

“Bai Feiyu, you—!” Bai Xiaofei stared wide-eyed, unable to believe Bai Feiyu would treat him so.

“Heh, you’d better pray for yourself,” Bai Feiyu sneered, dashing away.

Bai Xiaofei’s endless wailing had become intolerable, and frankly, unless he saw the man killed by the Scarlet Flame Tiger with his own eyes, Bai Feiyu wouldn’t feel at ease.

As for taking someone like Bai Xiaofei as a follower? Bai Feiyu disdained the very idea. Though the man was capable and a master at flattery, Bai Feiyu despised such people from the bottom of his heart.

Most importantly, someone like this only followed for benefit. Bai Feiyu was no inner disciple, couldn’t offer the perks Song Yunfei did—Bai Xiaofei knew that. So, odds were, once they escaped, Bai Xiaofei would turn him in at the first opportunity out of spite.

Roar!

Behind him, the Scarlet Flame Tiger caught up with Bai Xiaofei and tore him apart with its bloodthirsty jaws. Bai Xiaofei didn’t even have time to scream before his life was snuffed out—a truly miserable end.

Seizing the moment, Bai Feiyu escaped to safety, and his face lit up with greedy anticipation as he opened Song Yunfei’s storage pouch.

As an inner disciple, Song Yunfei was sure to have plenty of treasures. Who knew what wonders might be hidden inside…
