Douluo Continent: Long Live the Spirit Hall

"I can let you go, but don't shout or scream, understand?"

Yan spoke concisely, and Shangguan Feier blinked twice and nodded. Her big eyes were not only filled with fear, but also revealed a hint of curiosity.

"You didn't even call out."

Yan released his hand from the girl's mouth, and Shangguan Feier indeed did not scream or shout. This surprised Yan, who was prepared to stop her a second time. Was this girl so sensible?

Shangguan Feier pouted and huffed, "Hmph! I'm not stupid. You're such a cautious person, if I shouted or yelled, you would definitely teach me a lesson. See? I guessed right."

She gestured towards Yan's other hand with her lip. Yan had been holding that hand ready the whole time, and if this little girl made any noise, Yan wouldn't be polite.

"You're very smart, so I won't waste any more words."

Yan had no intention of continuing to argue with the girl, and said directly, "I don't know how you saw through me, but now that you're in my hands, for your safety, you'll cooperate with me to leave the Vast Expanse Palace, right?"

"Yes, yes, I'll be fine. I'll definitely help you leave the Vast Expanse Palace. You won't hurt me, will you?"

Shangguan Feier nodded obediently. Anyone who didn't know better would think she was a very well-behaved girl. Her bright, intelligent eyes kept darting around, and no one knew what she was up to.

"You are the second young lady of the Vast Expanse Palace. I have no interest in making a blood feud with the Vast Expanse Palace. As long as you cooperate obediently, I will certainly not hurt you. But if you try to play any tricks on me, there may be some marks left on this pretty little face."

As Yan spoke, he reached out and pinched Shangguan Feier's still somewhat chubby face. Shangguan Feier pouted as she was pinched, which looked quite comical.

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Shangguan Feier nodded obediently, not showing any discomfort even though she was being pinched.

Seeing this, Yan released her, then raised his right hand and quickly tapped Shangguan Feier's body several times. "I have placed a restriction on you. Once it is triggered, you will explode into pieces. I don't think you would be willing to try it."

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Feier's face turned pale, and she was quite frightened after imagining the scene.

Yan glanced at her appearance and continued, "When we leave the room later, you go first and leave the Vast Palace with me. After we leave, I will help you remove the restriction, understand?"

"Okay, I'll cooperate."

Shangguan Feier nodded hurriedly, as if she was so frightened that she only knew how to cooperate obediently.

Seeing how cooperative the girl was, Yan didn't pay much attention to anything unusual. Even if the girl had other ideas, she couldn't cause any trouble in front of him.

"Let's go."

Yan led Shangguan Feier out of the empty room. The two walked down the corridor one after the other, about a meter apart. Yan pretended to be respectful as he followed behind Shangguan Feier, looking like a disciple of the Vast Expanse Palace being threatened and teased by this little devil.

"Fei'er".

Yan and Shangguan Feier walked through a corridor and just after turning the corner, they arrived at the corridor where Yan had encountered the little witch before. Just then, the door in the middle of the corridor opened, a clear and cold voice rang out, and a face that looked exactly like Shangguan Feier appeared.

"Sis, sister, wake up!"

Shangguan Feier, who was leisurely walking ahead, suddenly stiffened and subconsciously looked back before facing the girl who had just appeared.

"You were yelling outside my room, how could I not get up? What brings you here so early?!"

Shangguan Xue'er glanced helplessly at her younger sister, a rare hint of doting appearing in her eyes, but her expression remained indifferent, and her delicate face remained as aloof as ever.

"Ah! It's nothing, I just came to bother you a little, so you couldn't sleep well. Hehe, I'll be going now, goodbye sister..."

Shangguan Feier was taken aback at first, then made a face at her sister, and before Shangguan Xueer could react, she grabbed Yan's hand and ran away.

"That Fei'er, she still loves to play tricks on people..."

Shangguan Xue'er watched her younger sister's departing figure, a helpless smile appearing on her lips. "However, I always felt that Fei'er was acting strangely just now."

Shangguan Feier grabbed Yan's hand and jogged along, urging, "Let's hurry up, or we won't be able to leave once our sister gets on our heels, and it will be difficult to leave the Vast Expanse Palace again."

Yan felt a momentary unease, but he hadn't reacted in time when the girl came over and pulled him away. Turning back now would be troublesome, so leaving the Vast Expanse Palace was the priority.

Yan quickened his pace and followed Shangguan Feier to another corner. He first let go of her soft hand and resumed walking one after the other. The two of them successfully arrived at the teleportation array and were teleported out.

……

At the entrance of the Vast Palace on Tianzhu Island, the snow-white mist suddenly churned, revealing a hint of golden-red color. A pair of figures appeared outside the mist: one was a white-clad attendant with a slightly stiff expression, and the other was a beautiful young girl.

After Yan and Shangguan Feier left the entrance to the light mist and walked for a while, the little girl finally couldn't hold back anymore, "Hey! I've already taken you away from the Vast Palace, can you let me leave now?"

"You're not being honest!"

Yan stopped and was about to have a proper talk with the pretty girl when he suddenly turned his head to look in the direction he had just left. Just as Shangguan Feier was about to make a move, her waist was tightened again as Yan pulled her into his arms. After two slaps, her little face turned bright red.

Shangguan Feier had just breathed a sigh of relief when she suddenly felt Yan pull her into his arms and then slap her bottom. It was perfectly normal for a young woman to react this way when such a sensitive part of her body was slapped.

After Yan picked up Shangguan Feier, he immediately sped up. He had already memorized the routes of Tianzhu Island in the past few days, and arrived at the edge of Tianzhu Island in a flash.

Shortly after he left with Shangguan Feier, a figure quickly emerged from the Vast Palace, like a glimmer of moonlight, and immediately chased after the direction Yan had left.

"I told you not to disobey me, not to disobey me, and to lie to me..."

As Yan ran, he scolded Shangguan Feier, that little devil, with constant slapping sounds. At first, he tried to find some reasons, but later it became almost an unconscious behavior.

"Wow……"

No matter how much Shangguan Feier struggled in his arms, she couldn't break free. Her little bottom stung from the spanking, and feeling wronged, she burst into tears.

"You dare hit me? You just wait..."

Shangguan Feier cried with tears streaming down her face, struggling desperately to make Yan Ye pay the price, her little face full of grievance and shame.

"Ha ha……"

Yan merely smiled coldly at Shangguan Feier's harsh words, continuing his rapid march towards the edge of Tianzhu Island.

"Hey! You bastard, did you hear me? I'm telling you, you're done for... What are you doing? Stop right now! There's no road ahead, no road ahead! If you're looking to die, don't drag me down with you..."

Shangguan Feier became even angrier when she didn't get a response from Yan, and kept uttering harsh words. But she suddenly realized that Yan had brought her to the edge of Tianzhu Island, and instead of a stone staircase leading down, there was a railing with no way forward. She panicked.

"what……"

Yan didn't respond to the little girl at all. Amid her scream, he took a step and flew out, a pair of fiery wings appearing on his back as he soared into the sky and transformed into a rainbow in the distance.

"you you you……"

Amidst the blue sky and white clouds, Yan carried Shangguan Feier away in a rainbow. The little girl's face still held that terrified expression. The moment Yan looked down and met her gaze, her small mouth opened slightly, but she couldn't speak properly.

"Behave yourself."

Yan reached out and pinched her chubby cheeks again, casually wiping away the tears from the corners of the girl's eyes. Had he gone a little too far? Yan thought to himself.

"Your dad's here. What a little troublemaker."

Yan rode the rainbow light and soared into the distance. Suddenly, he turned his head and looked at a beam of moonlight that was chasing after him. Sensing the rapidly approaching aura, Yan helplessly slapped his hand and complained. It was a familiar spot again. The soft slap finally brought the little girl back to her senses.

Has my dad come?

Shangguan Feier was initially a bit dazed, but after waking up, she regained some of her witch-like habits. Perhaps because she had someone to rely on, she felt that she was capable again and shouted loudly at Yan: "Then why don't you hurry up and let me go? Let me tell you, my father is a Heavenly Emperor-level expert."

He loves me very much. If he knew his precious daughter had been bullied like this by you, he definitely wouldn't let you get away with it. If you let me go now, I might put in a good word for you.

Yan chuckled softly, looking down. "Oh! Second Miss, haven't you learned your lesson yet?"

Upon hearing Yan's words, Shangguan Feier instinctively shrank back, clearly still afraid of him, and even dared not meet his gaze.

"Shangguan Tianyue, a Heavenly Emperor-level expert, I really want to see the Vast and Boundless Set."

Above the sky, two figures, one red and one silver, sped along in a streak of light. After getting away from Tianzhu Island, Yan slowed down slightly, wanting to have a go at Shangguan Tianyue who was chasing behind him, to test the strength of a Heavenly Emperor-level expert from the Vast Continent.

With a thought, Yan suddenly plummeted, quickly passing through the high-altitude clouds to reach the near-ground airspace, then changed direction and accelerated to a spacious valley.

"Don't make a sound later, understand?"

After landing with Shangguan Feier, Yan threw the little girl into a cave behind him, gave her some instructions, and then went out to meet the person who was chasing after them.

As soon as Yan stepped out of the cave, a figure appeared opposite him. The two faced each other from a distance, and an aura as vast as the sea emanated from Shangguan Tianyue, causing the mountains to shake and the entire valley to be swept by fierce winds.

Shangguan Tianyue glanced at Shangguan Feier, who was cautiously peering out of the cave entrance, and breathed a slight sigh of relief. Then she looked at Yan and asked, "Who are you? How dare you kidnap my daughter?"

Chapter 523 Vast and Boundless

"If the Second Palace Master wants to know my origins and wants to take your daughter away, all you need to do is defeat me, and everything will be as you wish."

Outside Tianzhu Island, in a deserted valley, Yan spoke in a clear voice after confirming that only Shangguan Tianyue was pursuing them for the time being. As he spoke, a domineering and awe-inspiring aura emanated from him, even more so than that of Shangguan Tianyue.

"Emperor level? You're from Crimson Prison? No, Crimson Prison shouldn't have a powerhouse like you."

Shangguan Tianyue was startled when he sensed the power coming from Yan. In just a moment of probing, he was able to determine that the other party's cultivation and strength were no less than his own. It seemed that only the Blood Red Prison had a Heavenly Emperor-level expert with fire attribute, but Yan gave him a very special feeling.

"I told you, if the Second Palace Master wants to know my origins, all he needs to do is defeat me."

After letting out a soft laugh, Yan suddenly struck backward with his palm, and Shangguan Feier, who had just peeked out, was immediately pressed against the wall by a semi-transparent light shield.

"Dad, please save me!"

Shangguan Feier was bound to the wall and unable to break free. In a panic, she shouted loudly.

"Fei'er".

Shangguan Tianyue panicked when he saw his daughter being attacked by Yan. Although Shangguan Feier seemed to be unharmed, she was his precious daughter, and he could not tolerate such behavior.

Yan stood between Shangguan Tianyue and his daughter Shangguan Feier, and said calmly, "I told you, if you want to save your daughter, you have to defeat me first."

Shangguan Tianyue slapped his right palm in the air, and a sharp wave of heavenly power swept across Yan's body. He then moved quickly toward his daughter, but Yan was faster and appeared in his path. The attack had not hit him at all.

"asshole."

After shouting a curse, Shangguan Tianyue continued his attack without slowing down. The heavenly power in his palm emitted a sharp fluctuation, and a visible storm instantly filled the airspace between them. At this moment, he knew that it was impossible to take a shortcut to save his daughter first, so he naturally went all out to try to end the battle quickly.

An incomparably powerful pressure erupted from his body. The Vast and Boundless Technique was known for its immense power, and this powerful pressure, under his control, instantly condensed, pressing down on Yan from all directions with its omnipresent might.

However, such immense pressure did not restrict Yan's movements in the slightest. He simply tapped his right foot and appeared in front of Shangguan Tianyue in the next instant, a ray of flame rapidly spreading in the latter's vision.

Within Shangguan Tianyue's childlike reflection, a large area of ​​flames rapidly expanded and occupied the entire field of vision. The scorching smell of the air, along with the heat wave, rushed towards him. Feeling the heart-pounding temperature that made his back sweat, he quickly circulated his Heavenly Power and spun around to dodge.

Just as Yan was about to continue his pursuit, he saw Shangguan Tianyue, who was tumbling in mid-air, push and pull with her right hand. An arrow formed from mist drew an arc, bypassed the erupting flames, and headed straight for Yan's chest.

Shangguan Tianyue used the purest form of celestial power, devoid of any inherent attributes, yet extremely concentrated and possessing immense penetrating power. Yan dared not carelessly twist to dodge, but in doing so, he lost the opportunity to pursue.

After dodging the flames, Shangguan Tianyue lunged forward to Yan, striking out with both hands simultaneously. His movements appeared calm and unassuming, lacking any hint of ferocity. However, the space within a radius of several dozen meters centered on him and Yan began to distort.

Boom!

The spreading flames quickly recoiled, forming a fire barrier in front of Yan. Shangguan Tianyue's palms struck the barrier without any fancy moves. With a deafening roar, Shangguan Tianyue was launched into the air like a cannonball.

Shangguan Tianyue landed steadily, but his face had turned quite ugly. Although he hadn't used his solidified equipment or attribute skills to amplify his strength, his opponent hadn't gone all out either. Yet, in this clash, he had been completely at a disadvantage, which was not good news.

"If this is all the strength you have, then I am truly disappointed."

As Yan spoke, he pointed forward with his right hand, and the fire curtain that had not been dispersed by Shangguan Tianyue's palm flew out and headed straight for Shangguan Tianyue.
