Ye Mo stared at Mo Feng as he left. “That guy’s aura is stronger than it was the last time. It seems like he has reached the Spirit Cultivating Third Realm,” he said in a stern voice.
“The Mo Clan has a good heritage. Plus, he is also an alchemist, hence having a cultivation speed faster than the average person,” Xiao Yue said.
“Oh right. So what’s the relationship between the Barbarian young master and you?” Ye Mo asked in an unruffled voice, surprising Xiao Yue and Leng Leng at the same time. Both of their faces showed signs of sorrow.
“If you don’t want to say it, that’s fine,” Ye Mo said. He turned back at the auction house and continued to wait for the auction to begin.
Leng Leng filled herself with courage and whispered, “The Barbarian young master is engaged to Yue Yue.”
Getting engaged was supposed to be a good thing, but Ye Mo could tell this was definitely not Xiao Yue’s wish. Was this the reason of she was crying in the backyard the last time?
“Man Tai of the Barbarians often comes to Limestone City to sell weapons and beast cores. During a chance encounter, the Barbarian young master Man Tai met Yue Yue, admired Yue Yue’s beauty, and wanted to possess her. After returning to his clan, he asked the Barbarians’ master to come to the Xiao Clan to propose. Even if the Xiao Clan could be counted as a big clan in Limestone City, it is incomparable to the Barbarians’ race. Yue Yue’s mother nodded and agreed without further hesitation to the proposal,” Leng Leng said.
“I see. I guess you’re delaying them for now?”
Ye Mo did not understand until now how Xiao Yue was able to stop Mo Feng from troubling him. It was because of the Barbarians.
Xiao Yue nodded and said, “I should be able to control my own destiny. No one can decide who I should marry, so I have to be one of the top five in the Limestone Champion List competition. Only then will I be able to change this fate.”
By being one of the top five in the Limestone Champion List competition, one would be able to enter the three major leagues, become a disciple of a league, and soar in status.
Ye Mo looked at Xiao Yue’s determined look and recalled his own life. That’s right, I should be able to determine my own fate. No matter my birth status, regardless of my not being able to practice for five years. As long as I work hard, I believe I can definitely control my own destiny.
“I will help you, Miss Xiao, at all costs,” Ye Mo said lightly.
“Don’t forget, there’s also me!” Leng Leng said with laughter.
“Calling me Miss Xiao seems awkward. If you don’t mind, you can just call me Yue Yue.” Xiao Yue felt a touch of warmth in her heart.
“Yue Yue!”
“Ye Mo, you are a lucky on., Yue Yue has never let other men call her like that. Anyhow, don’t waste your time on her, you definitely have no chance at all,” Leng Leng said.
Ye Mo scratched his head in embarrassment and smiled. He wanted to help Xiao Yue only because he felt that they both shared similar experiences.
“Look, the auction is about to start.”
The three turned their eyes to the auction house as the auction floor lit up with lights.
Under the fiery eyes of the crowd, a woman in a red sheath dress walked onto the auction floor. The woman’s curvaceous body cloaked by the dress was particularly alluring, especially since her body gave off sensual vibes, arousing a lot men at the venue and making their mouths go dry. The woman’s every move was enough to evoke every man’s desires.
Even Ye Mo had to admit that Qi Ying had the capability to seduce any man, but he did not expect her to be the auctioneer of this event.
Among the VIP rooms, a dark-skinned man with a rough face stared at the woman on the auction floor, and he felt arousal gather in the lower part of his body. He said to Mo Feng who was beside him, “Mo Feng, who is this girl? She is definitely arousing my sense.”
“Man Tai, brother, this woman is of the Tianwu Kingdom’s Qi Clan and has a management role in Limestone City,” Mo Feng said with a smiley face. He also had a lot of fantasies of Qi Ying, but his pursuit of her was stopped by his father without a reason.
“Just a management role? Then I want to have ” said Man Tai.
“Man Tai, brother, I advise you to give up. This girl has a sizeable background. If she were merely of a management role, I would have already tried to court her, but my father reminds me all the time not to provoke her,” Mo Feng said.
“It seems that I have to use some others means to try and court her, then,” Man Tai said while glancing at the auction table with eyes filled with lust, as if he wanted to take off Qi Ying’s clothes.
“Man Tai, Xiao Yue is sitting in the ordinary seats. Would you want to go take a look later?” Mo Feng said.
“That girl always pretends to be cold, and that bothers me all the time. Wait until I marry her, and then I will take that cold veil off her face.”
Because of Qi Ying’s appearance, the auction gradually became quiet. Qi Ying’s eyelashes remained still while her eyes swept across the venue. She announced, “Everyone, I won’t say too much nonsense but will go straight to the topic instead. In today’s auction, there will be three items being auctioned off. In order to not keep you all waiting, the first item will be the high-grade magic weapon.”
Gasp!
As soon as the four words were said, the whole venue burst into discussion. No one expected the auction to bring out the finale item at the beginning.
“High-grade magic weapon!” Ye Mo’s hands clasped into fists. He was excited to find our more about the rare item.
Feeling the swell of excitement in the venue, Qi Ying gave a slight smile. For Limestone City, this weapon was a rare weapon indeed.
“Nevertheless, I should say a few words first. In this auction, if anyone dares to use force, it will be considered as an offense to the Qi Clan” As Qi Ying spoke, an old man clothed in black slowly walked over with his hands behind his back. He emitted a powerful aura that threatened even Ye Kuang and the others. The old man’s eyes swept across the venue, imposing a strong pressure on everyone in the audience.
“This kind of aura is of Half Step to the True Energy Realm!”
Ye Kuang and the others had all reached the Energy Shaping Ninth Realm, only one step from the True Energy Realm, but they could all perceive a sense of threat from the old man. Half step to the True Energy Realm, even though was it only half a step from the True Energy Realm, was still not a force they could oppose and win.
The presence of the old man silenced the venue.
“Let us present the high-grade magic weapon now.” As Qi Ying’s words were said, everyone’s eyes collectively shifted from Qi Ying’s body to the entrance of the auction floor. A beauty’s temptation may be tempting, but to some others, a high-grade magic weapon was highly attractiveness as well.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, a muscular man carried a five-foot tall wooden box from the entrance to the auction floor, placed the wooden box on the table, and left.
Qi Ying swayed her hips as she walked over to and opened the wooden box. She then took out a cyan-colored sword out of the box. The sword was four and a half feet long and its surface gave off an azure glow.
“Azure Light Sword, high-grade magic weapon, made by a Yellow Rank Refiner. The sword is four feet long, whereas the handle is half a foot long. As Yuanli is injected, all subjects under the same realm can be instantly eliminated,” Qi Ying explained.
Under the same realm, instant elimination. This was enough to thrill the entire crowd.
