Yun Xi felt a sharp pain in her ear and instantly knew what had happened. She immediately moved sideways, her pretty face flushed red, and she couldn't help but scream.
The same thing happened again. The only difference was that she didn't fall all over the ground, but this was enough to make her feel ashamed and angry. Her scream made everyone cover their ears involuntarily.
"Little brat, you…" Yun Xi was furious. She didn't expect that she would suffer such a huge loss after using Shi Hao's power. Moreover, many people saw it.
It felt like he had suffered a double loss.
Yun Xi's fair face had already turned red. Even the skin on her body was pink. At the same time, she couldn't help but tremble. This feeling made her furious and ashamed.
How could it be like this? She was so ashamed and angry that she couldn't speak. She didn't get to exploit Shi Hao's power, instead, she was taken advantage of and paid a "heavy price".
Everyone was flabbergasted as they witnessed such a scene.
"She's yours! Take her back home!" The big red bird shouted at the top of its voice.
All the cultivators in the courtyard were surprised. This bird was bold and dared to say anything. Didn't it see that the Golden-Winged Peng was gritting his teeth?
However, when they thought of its owner, everyone felt relieved. Why couldn't the bird say such things? Shi Hao's might was obvious to them all. Even the Immortal Mountain's people were cut into pieces.
Redness covered her cheeks. Yun Xi glared at the big red bird. After she screamed, she looked at Shi Hao and clenched her fists, but she didn't know what to say.
On the other side, the group of teenagers from the Archaic Divine Mountain were dumbfounded. Yun Xi was a goddess to them, but she had been blasphemed by Shi Hao. They were shocked and furious.
"How could this be?" A teenager muttered to himself, finding it hard to accept what he was seeing.
In the hearts of the Horned Dragon, Bifang, and the others, the Celestial Clan's young lady was pure and holy. She was inviolable and possessed an irreplaceable status within the Archaic Divine Mountain's younger generation like a holy maiden.
"Are you provoking Archaic Peng Mountain?" The blond teenager's expression was cold as he berated loudly. Then, he looked at his elder brother and couldn't help but want to fight.
"Provoking Archaic Peng Mountain?" Shi Hao turned around, looking at him. This youth was only a year or two older than him, and golden battle energy surged about his body.
"Yun Xi is going to marry into our family. How dare you be rude to her?!" The blond teenager raised his eyebrows. There was a hint of coldness in his eyes, and two faint golden beams shot out from his golden pupils.
The Peng Clan's aura rushed out, and powerful fluctuations spread outward, making the entire garden shake. This was a genius who possessed a shocking cultivation at such a young age.
"Why do I hear Yun Xi say that she has nothing to do with you all?" Shi Hao said.
Yun Xi's chest rose and fell, making one's imagination run wild. She was slender but curvaceous. She had an impressive figure, and at this moment, she gradually calmed down.
"Jin Yunxiao, I have nothing to do with your Peng Mountain!" She said that while viciously glaring at Shi Hao.
"You!" The golden-haired teenager, Jin Yunxiao, had an ugly expression on his face. Being refuted had completely overturned everything he had just said, which made him extremely uncomfortable.
He came from Peng Mountain, a proud and powerful race. He was known as a rare genius in the world. He was already very dissatisfied with being looked down upon by Shi Hao today, and now, he was even more displeased.
"Hey, she has said several times that she has nothing to do with you. Do you want to use force?" The big red bird looked at Jin Yunxiao with slanted eyes.
Jin Yunxiao's expression was gloomy, but he didn't say anything. He only continuously scanned Yun Xi and Shi Hao, feeling that the two of them were in a relationship.
Not only him but also the teenagers from the Archaic Divine Mountain were shocked. How could the usually unattainable Goddess Yun Xi be like this? Not only did she take the initiative to get close to that youth, but she also had the same attitude after being taken advantage of. She had repeatedly rejected Peng Mountain.
"What's wrong with Yun Xi? Is she coerced? It doesn't seem like it," someone said softly, unable to accept this fact.
From a certain perspective, they would rather Yun Xi marry the most powerful genius of Peng Mountain than have any relationship with Shi Hao because they felt that the former was more suitable.
The most outstanding genius of Primordial Peng Mountain, Jin Yunteng, had once walked among the various divine mountains and was very familiar with them. Moreover, he had never lost since he was born.
Later on, he left the wasteland alone to cultivate in the outer regions to sharpen his combat strength. Although he had been gone for a few years, his prestige was still very high among this group of teenagers.
After all, they were familiar with each other. If they had to choose a husband for Yun Xi, they hoped that she would marry into Peng Mountain.
"Yun Xi, don't be rash. Brother Yunteng is so nice," a young girl said. She had long green hair and was quite beautiful. She advised Yun Xi.
Even though Shi Hao was stunning, he wasn't on the same side as them. This was especially the case when they understood that Shi Hao was extremely domineering. He had killed a supreme expert from the divine mountain and even eaten a Green Luan.
"Yun Xi, what's wrong with you? Even if you don't want to get married, you don't have to reject us like this. Brother Yunteng is such a genius. What you said was a little hurtful," another young lady said.
Among the young people from the divine mountain, the man had a good impression of Yun Xi. They regarded her as the saintess in his heart. Seeing her like this, they felt quite at a loss.
On the other hand, the girls from the Ancient Forbidden Land were more inclined to speak up for Jin Yunteng. This was because this strongest genius had made a name for himself back then, and many girls had a good impression of him.
Although Yun Xi had gradually calmed down, she still blushed when she thought of what happened just now. She secretly gritted her teeth and sighed inwardly. Indeed, if she wanted to use others, she had to pay the price.
"I know how to choose. I don't want to think about personal matters right now." She didn't say much.
By now, everyone could tell that she was really against the idea of marriage and was trying to use Shi Hao as a shield. However, Shi Hao didn't play by the book and did something extremely out of line.
After understanding the profundity of this, the men from the Archaic Divine Mountain couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief. Fairy Yun Xi's choice was the best.
Even the way they looked at Shi Hao wasn't that fierce anymore. After all, he was just a shield, not a true threat.
Jin Yunxiao's face sank. He coldly swept his gaze over Shi Hao and snorted. He felt extremely uncomfortable, feeling that today's events would damage the Peng Clan's reputation.
"Shi the junior, although you're stunning, don't go too far!" he said coldly.
"Is Shi Hao someone you can address like that as you please?!" The big red bird berated him. Only the older generation would use that term. Those of the same age normally wouldn't be arrogant and called Shi Hao in that way.
Jin Yunxiao looked over arrogantly. His body released a terrifying fluctuation, directly approaching the big red bird. It was clear that he wasn't convinced by Shi Hao and was carrying a wave of killing intent.
Everyone felt an indescribable palpitation and almost suffocated. How shocking. The Golden Peng Race's youth was terrifyingly powerful after all.
Even the older generation figures were moved. Once such a hero grows up, he would become an extraordinary supreme expert in the future. There wouldn't be any suspense.
The big red bird found it hard to breathe. With its current strength, it was indeed difficult for it to compare with the best of pure-blooded creatures. Even the Nine-Headed Lion was shocked, feeling the pressure.
Shi Hao released a cold snort. Taking action against his people in front of him was a provocation. He wouldn't just ignore it.
He didn't move, but his snort contained the profoundness of a divine sound. It smashed forward like a giant hammer, and with a boom, even the void trembled.
Jin Yunxiao grunted. His face was a little pale as he looked at Shi Hao in disbelief. The difference between the two was obvious. Even if he was an extremely talented genius, he was still no match for Shi Hao.
At this moment, his elder brother, Jin Yunteng, finally moved. His entire body was enveloped in a golden halo like a glowing sun. Even his golden hair was dyed with a layer of holy light.
He was well-proportioned and slender with a heroic demeanor. As he walked forward, the golden radiance pervaded the air, covering his younger brother. His pale face had color again, and he no longer felt his heart palpitate.
Jin Yunteng didn't get angry. He said gently, "Yunxiao, don't be rude. Brother Shi is a prodigy of his generation. He's not someone you can challenge. In the future, not many people in this world can contend with him."
This exceeded everyone's expectations. They thought that a great battle was about to begin, but they never expected that the Peng Clan's most powerful genius would not get angry at all and even control his own brother.
"Brother!" Jin Yunxiao wasn't convinced and wanted to say something.
However, Jin Yunteng only gave him a glance, and Jin Yunxiao stopped talking. He felt great reverence toward his big brother, not daring to go against him.
"No matter what, Yun Xi can make her own decision. No one else has the right to interfere," said Jin Yunteng. Jin Yunteng led his brother away without taking action.
Everyone was deeply surprised. Based on their intuitions, they knew that this Peng Race's genius was extremely powerful. However, he was so calm and had left just like that.
This made the big red bird, who was preparing to watch the show, speechless. It felt like everything had reached the point where it was just waiting to watch a great battle between geniuses. In the end, the incident ended just like that.
"How is he?" The Nine-Headed Lion asked.
"He's extremely powerful and had long reached the Formation Arrangement Realm. He's a young king," Shi Hao replied. The young king was the most powerful peer he had met from the Archaic Divine Mountain.
Jin Yunteng was only eighteen or nineteen years old. For him to have this level of cultivation was definitely shocking!
After all, not everyone was like Shi Hao who had conferred the title of king at the age of fifteen, which was rarely seen since ancient times.
"Be careful! If it was any other king, then so be it, but he is from the Peng Race, the most powerful pure-blooded creature from every Archaic Divine Mountain. This is just so terrifying." The Flame Crow reminded Shi Hao.
Shi Hao nodded, not saying anything.
After the disturbance ended, Yun Xi didn't leave. She made a few offers to exchange for that divine artifact, but they were all rejected.
Shi Hao carefully chose spiritual medicines to exchange with others. He successfully obtained more than ten types of spiritual medicines he needed.
Soon after, Huo Ling'er hurried over. As the host, she enthusiastically invited Shi Hao, the Nine-Headed Lion, and the others. Only, when a certain dish was served, it left everyone stupefied.
"What is this? Pig ears?!" The Rainbow Luan was stupefied.
This was a cold plate that was placed on the jade table. Compared to the other dishes, it seemed out of place.
"Doesn't someone like to eat ears? It's specially prepared for him," said Huo Ling'er.
The group of people all began to laugh loudly.
Shi Hao was embarrassed and didn't know what to say.
Yun Xi didn't leave either. She was also invited to sit at this table. Seeing this, she blushed even more. This was just too embarrassing.
She glared at Shi Hao, and then without any hesitation, she looked toward Huo Ling'er. She gradually calmed down, no longer feeling awkward.
In the end, Shi Hao took his leave because the atmosphere made him feel embarrassed.
"Brother Shi, where are you going?" The flame crow asked.
"I am going to tour the wasteland region and see all of these magnificent mountains and rivers." Shi Hao replied.
"Alright, since we have nothing to do, we'll go with you," the Nine-Headed Lion said. They also wanted to travel.
"You all have to be careful. If you leave the capital, some people will take action." Huo Ling'er reminded them because she had heard some news.
"Don't worry!" Shi Hao was fearless.
In the end, Huo Ling'er carried the little wolf and followed them. Apart from this, Yun Xi also followed them out of the Fire Nation's imperial capital.
