Covering her swollen cheek, Lin Hong was stunned on the spot.

Two guys who couldn't even afford Elixirs actually dared to hit her?

Who was Lin Hong? Not to mention the Lin Family's background, just her identity as an Alchemist apprentice was absolutely not something these two could provoke! Moreover, this was in the Elixir Pharmacy, in front of Yi Lao!

Not to mention the always aloof Lin Hong, even a regular shop clerk would not tolerate being slapped by someone who couldn't afford their goods, right?

Of course, Lin Hong never wondered why Xu Fan would dare to slap her; she wondered how he dared to hit Lin Hong—who gave him the courage!

"You, you dare to hit me?"

Smack!

Xu Fan slapped Lin Hong's face again and continued to watch her with an interested posture. Judging by his stance, it seemed the slap wasn't the last one.

But at this moment, where was Lin Hong's rationality?

Her pretty face now bore a distinct handprint, and her expression twisted continuously with rage, making her look extremely sinister.

"Don't you know who I am? My name is Lin..."

Smack!

Xu Fan relentlessly slapped Lin Hong's face once more. Although Xu Fan didn't use much force, it was still incredibly terrifying, leaving Lin Hong's already pretty face swollen.

Facing Lin Hong, Xu Fan showed no hint of pity; though Lin Hong appeared pretty, her heart was ugly beyond compare. No matter how beautiful a woman might be, having a vicious heart only makes her detestable.

After receiving three slaps, Lin Hong surprisingly calmed down, giving Xu Fan a venomous glance, evidently seeing him as a dead man.

"Yi Lao, someone is causing trouble in the Elixir Pharmacy and attacking me; I request Yi Lao to take action and kill this person!"

Lin Hong's voice was suppressed with endless fury, her eyes wishing to tear Xu Fan apart.

However, Xu Fan didn't exhibit the panic Lin Hong expected; he stood coldly in place, his gaze towards Lin Hong filled with icy contempt.

Lin Hong froze, then sneered, "You still dare to act impudently in front of Yi Lao! Yi Lao is a super powerhouse in the Zhiwei Realm, killing you is as simple as crushing an ant!"

Xu Fan stood there, looking at Lin Hong like she was a clown.

As Lin Hong continued to laugh, she realized the oddness: why hadn't Yi Lao made a move yet?

Turning her head, Lin Hong nearly fainted with rage. Yi Lao, who had been intently watching Xu Fan moments ago, was now resting his head and snoring comfortably.

In other words, if Xu Fan had intended to kill her earlier, she would be a dead person by now!

Thinking about this, Lin Hong felt a rush of nameless fury, but her face dared not show it. She walked to Yi Lao and called him respectfully a few times to wake him.

The old man yawned, looked sleepily at Lin Hong, and asked, "What is it?"

"Yi Lao, someone is causing trouble in the Elixir Pharmacy and attacking me; I request you to take action and kill this person!"

As Lin Hong spoke, she gave Xu Fan a venomous glance, thinking that since these two hadn't fled, they should be killed!

Seeing Lin Hong's malicious gaze, Xu Fan coldly chuckled inside.

Xu Fan didn't flee nor prevent Lin Hong from waking Yi Lao for a simple reason: Yi Lao was pretending to sleep!

Since entering the Elixir Pharmacy, Xu Fan hadn't relaxed his vigilance, keeping his Divine Sense focused on Yi Lao. After all, the threat from a Zhiwei Realm powerhouse was immense, even for Xu Fan.

Just while the slap landed on Lin Hong's face, Yi Lao was eagerly watching the scene unfold. Yet the next moment, when Lin Hong sought help from Yi Lao, he suddenly closed his eyes and feigned snoring.

The attitude couldn't be more clear... Even within the Elixir Pharmacy, Lin Hong was evidently as unpopular as a specter.

"Oh? Such a thing happened?" To Lin Hong's surprise, Yi Lao didn't immediately act but instead stretched and asked Xu Fan, "Who are you? Why are you causing trouble in the Elixir Pharmacy?"

Lin Hong felt her anger surge uncontrollably; she had explained very clearly, the situation was obvious with the people present—her injuries are apparent, yet Yi Lao continued to question here and there.

"Yi Lao, no need to ask; it's them causing trouble! Please act quickly and kill them!"

A terrifying aura suddenly erupted from Yi Lao, but it wasn't aimed at Xu Fan, instead enveloping Lin Hong.

"Do I need you to teach me how to act?"

The icy voice chilled Lin Hong to the core; she repeatedly shook her head, "I wouldn't dare."

In the Elixir Pharmacy, Yi Lao's status was far superior to Lin Hong's, forcing her to swallow her anger.

The overwhelming aura quickly dissipated, and Yi Lao amiably asked Xu Fan, "Tell me, you two little ones, who are you, and what brings you here? Why is one of you a coach?"

Lin Hong was utterly baffled—so Yi Lao hadn't been asleep and knew all this? Furthermore, what was with the friendly attitude? This was excessively amiable!

Xu Fan also felt slightly surprised but quickly regained composure, smiling at Yi Lao, "I'm named Xu Fan, a coach of the Grey Wolf Team, and this fellow is my trainee named Li Tao. We're here at the Elixir Pharmacy naturally to buy Elixirs."

"Hmm, very good, very good." Yi Lao stroked his beard, nodded at Xu Fan and Li Tao, his eyes full of admiration.

He had clearly observed the earlier events—these two individuals, so young, with resolve so strong, certainly won't remain ordinary in the future, especially Xu Fan. Despite appearing youthful enough to be a trainee, he held the status of a coach, indicating terrifying potential beyond words.

Lin Hong, observing too, couldn't endure further—could Yi Lao be senile? She had distinctly requested Yi Lao to kill them, but now, both parties seemed engaged in an enthusiastic chat?

Upon hearing Xu Fan, Lin Hong's eyes gleamed, coldly laughed towards Xu Fan, "You people? Buying Elixirs?"

Xu Fan earnestly nodded, "Yes."

Xu Fan wasn't lying; he genuinely came to the Elixir Pharmacy today to buy Elixirs.
