Chapter 478: The Enormous Bet

"Are you Xiaoying?" Sensing this change, Yang Tian snapped back to reality and asked in some surprise. He hadn't expected the little girl from before to have grown up like this.

"You... you know me?" Hong Ying was very puzzled. She had met all the geniuses of the Meng family, but this person before her was a stranger, though his voice sounded familiar.

Before Yang Tian could answer, a hurried figure rushed out from inside. She was wearing a thin gauze, her waterfall-like hair gently swaying, and her extremely alluring body exuded a stunning charm.

The night was deep, and Meng Yunxi was scantily clad. Large expanses of snow-white skin were exposed, her full and swelling chest trembling, tracing an astonishing curve.

The woman appeared suddenly and was extremely seductive. Even Yang Tian, with his composure, was stunned for a moment, a hint of heat flashing in his eyes.

Sensing his gaze, Meng Yunxi's body trembled slightly, her cheeks flushed red, and she vanished in an instant. She had also noticed her own state; with her enchanting and bewitching appearance, few could resist, especially in such a situation.

Yang Tian felt awkward, and Hong Ying was even more puzzled. She had never seen the always calm and composed Meng Yunxi so flustered, and she grew curious about the young man before her.

"You rascal, you didn't even say a word when you came!" An irritated voice came from inside, accompanied by the rustling sound of dressing, making Yang Tian even more embarrassed.

"Hong Ying, don't you recognize me?" Looking at the curious child-like girl, Yang Tian smiled gently and walked in, closing the door behind him.

"You... you..." The young man's face suddenly changed, and Hong Ying's little face froze. Seeing that familiar face, her eyes instantly filled with tears.

"You're Brother Yang Tian..." She sobbed and threw herself into Yang Tian's arms. Since Meng Yunxi had taken her away, she hadn't seen Yang Tian, and now her wish had come true.

"Little girl, don't cry." Yang Tian looked flustered, patted Xiaoying's head, and couldn't help saying.

"Mm, I won't cry..." Wiping away her tears, Hong Ying's tears turned into a smile, her face full of joy, and her eyes held a trace of admiration. This young man, who had repeatedly created miracles, had once saved Yang Tian's life!

"Girls really do change a lot as they grow up..." Yang Tian smiled. He had almost failed to recognize Hong Ying just now.

"Are you here to collect a debt?" At that moment, a finely dressed woman emerged from inside. Meng Yunxi's narrow eyes swept over Yang Tian as she smiled charmingly.

"How did you know?" Yang Tian was puzzled. He hadn't mentioned anything about collecting a debt when he came.

"That fatty told me you'd come here." Meng Yunxi rolled her eyes and said softly.

"No wonder he was so eager; he'd already told her." Yang Tian grinned and silently cursed the guy.

"Where did you go for a year?" Sitting on a chair, Meng Yunxi said slowly, "When you left, the entire Li family territory was turned upside down!"

"That divine demon body is no simple figure. He holds a high position in the demon race and mobilized many experts just to find Yun'er!" Meng Yunxi was puzzled. They had gone to such lengths just to find a little girl.

Even if Yun'er had the inheritance of the Array Sect, it shouldn't have required such means, especially since the value of the divine object far exceeded Yun'er's.

"It's him!" Hearing this, a chilling murderous intent flashed in Yang Tian's eyes. He was determined to kill that figure. That day, when he detonated two avatars, Yang Xiao disappeared, and Yang Ba was severely wounded and rescued by a mysterious person—it was a pain in his heart!

"Yun'er's matter is a bit troublesome. It's better you don't know." After a moment of silence, Yang Tian spoke. Yun'er's constitution was too special; the fewer people who knew, the safer she would be.

"It seems this little girl has been hiding things from me." Rolling her eyes dramatically, Meng Yunxi grumbled indignantly. What could be so important that she couldn't know?

"By the way, who was it that rescued my eldest brother?" Yang Tian asked hastily at this moment.

"I really don't know that." Meng Yunxi shook her head. The demon clan's forces were unclear; even if someone intervened, they wouldn't dare reveal their true form, otherwise they would invite boundless calamity.

"But that person's cultivation is almost at the level of a Sovereign, very powerful. Your brother's life is not in danger." She pursed her tempting red lips and said, "As for that soul body, I don't know. It mysteriously disappeared back then."

Her narrow eyes swept over Yang Tian. If anyone knew that the person who had caused a stir in the Li family was in his room, and that the divine object was closely related to him, how much upheaval would it cause in the outside world?

"I hope Uncle Xiao is safe and sound." After a long silence, Yang Tian sighed inwardly. A heavy stone had been pressing on his heart, and he couldn't relax.

"You've really struck it rich this time." At this moment, Meng Yunxi took out three void rings and said with some envy, "Inside are three seventh-grade pills! A full ten sixth-grade pills, four ten-thousand-year-old precious herbs, countless rare spirit herbs, and a large amount of refining materials! Even dozens of top-grade refining materials!"

"Gulp..." Hearing this, Yang Tian swallowed hard, utterly incredulous. He hadn't expected that just a few hundred drops of divine liquid could bring so many treasures.

"You got incredibly lucky this time. Very few people bet on you. Even the ancient aristocratic families would be envious of these resources!" Meng Yunxi clicked her tongue. If Yang Tian weren't so mysterious, the Meng family might have considered intercepting this divine treasure.

"How about we make a deal?" Seeing Yang Tian's smug expression, Meng Yunxi deliberately leaned in closer, her voice seductive.

A warm, tingling breath sprayed onto his face, and Yang Tian's body trembled slightly. He immediately shook his head: "Don't even think about the refining materials. You can pick any pills you want."

Yang Tian put on an air of great wealth, laughing heartily. However, Meng Yunxi rolled her eyes. With her status, was she lacking in pills?

His mind wandered through the three void rings, Yang Tian's eyes burning with excitement. Among the pills were many rare ones, not to mention the three seventh-grade pills.

Yang Tian fiddled for a while, then pulled out several bottles of pills and stuffed them into Hong Ying's hands. These pills were rare in the outside world; even with money, one might not be able to buy them.

"Ah... these are too precious." Hong Ying tried to refuse. The three fifth-grade pills were already a fortune to her, let alone a War King Pill.

"Don't be polite with him. These pills are just a drop in the bucket for him. He knows how to refine pills." Meng Yunxi quickly waved her hand, telling Hong Ying to put them away.

"You both get a share. I didn't expect so many pills this time." Yang Tian clicked his tongue and took out several more bottles: "I have no use for these pills anymore. Keep them."

"That's more like it." Her narrow eyes scanned the jade bottles, and Meng Yunxi didn't stand on ceremony at all, putting them all away.

"Are you going to the Divine Dao Mountain?" After checking everything, Yang Tian looked up and smiled.

"Of course I'm going. This is a rare opportunity. Even if it's dangerous, I'll take my chances." Meng Yunxi nodded and sighed softly.

"Brother Yang Tian, are you going too?" Hong Ying's little face was flushed, and she asked expectantly.

"Yes. Although it's dangerous inside, there are many opportunities." Nodding, Yang Tian stood up and said, "I shouldn't stay long. I'll head back first."

Meng Yunxi didn't insist on him staying. Staying here was actually more dangerous. Yang Tian's identity was too risky; if the Meng family's higher-ups found out, they might have ulterior motives.

"This guy's cultivation is getting stronger and stronger." Rubbing Hong Ying's little head, she sighed to herself, "I need to work harder. The great calamity of the world is approaching."

Along the way, Yang Tian didn't stop and headed straight to his residence. He was extremely excited. With so many refining materials, he could mass-produce Array-Breaking Pearls and scheme for earth-shattering treasures.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Yang Tian heard a series of miserable screams like a pig being slaughtered. This inhuman howling, like a pig being butchered, made Yang Tian's hair stand on end.

"What's wrong with Dahu? Did Fatty stew him?" Yang Tian hurriedly walked toward the backyard.
