Chapter 814: Beitang Zi
Zhu Heng stopped in front of Huang Xiaolong with a glacial expression, “You’re Huang Xiaolong? Last time, you took advantage of my absence from and made a bet with Zhu Chu. You ambushed him when he was distracted, hence winning the bet.”
Liu Yun boiled with anger at Zhu Heng’s shameless words. The bet that time was fair and square, yet it suddenly turned into Huang Xiaolong using an underhanded method to win the bet!
Huang Xiaolong didn’t look like he was agitated by Zhu Heng’s words at all.
“The blood contract is in my hands.” Zhu Heng went on, “If you want it, come to the New Stone World, make a fair and square bet with me. If you win, you can take the blood contract away and our Zhu Family will not interfere any further with your Eldest Senior Apprentice-brother and Third Apprentice-sister’s relationship.”
This was Zhu Heng’s true purpose.
More accurately, the mysterious Great Lord’s intention—baiting Huang Xiaolong to the New Stone World.
And if Huang Xiaolong really went there, a trap would be awaiting him.
Zhu Heng added, “However, I prefer you to come alone at that time, or else you will never get your hands on the blood contract.” The threat in his tone and words was clear as day. With that said, Zhu Heng turned around, leading the Zhu Family masters away.
Huang Xiaolong’s cold gaze followed the Zhu Family members as they walked away. Looks like this Zhu Heng was betting on Huang Xiaolong’s willingness to venture to the New Stone World once again for his Eldest Senior Apprentice-brother and Third Apprentice-sister.
“Fourth Junior Apprentice-brother.” Liu Yun called out, deep lines of worry on his face.
Huang Xiaolong turned back to look at Shi Xiaofei, Liu Yun, and Qi Wen, all three had worry written all over their faces. He shook his head with a faint smile, “It’s alright. Come on, the auction is going to start.”
Seeing this, Liu Yun and the rest could only follow Huang Xiaolong into the auction square.
Due to the auction house rules stating that only Highgod Realm masters were eligible for private rooms, Huang Xiaolong’s group of four could only sit in the prepared seatings on the square like most of the other families’ masters.
The auction square was large enough to accommodate several tens of thousands of people. However, by the time Huang Xiaolong entered, the seats were almost full.
Looking around, they found four empty seats in a corner that were in the same row and sat down.
Huang Xiaolong had just sat down when he felt an intense gaze filled with hatred directed at him, his brows creased slightly as he turned to look at the origin of the gaze. It came from private room number nine.
However, every private room had restrictive formations to ensure their privacy, hence the people outside couldn't see inside those private rooms.
Inside private room number nine, sat the person who had his ‘eggs’ scrambled by Huang Xiaolong a few days prior, Yelu Tianhao. Other than Yelu Tianhao and the two withered old men, there were three other people.
One of them was a young man with purple pupils, who also had two old men behind him. The invisible pressure from these two old men was actually a bit stronger than the two withered old men behind Yelu Tianhao.
This purple-eyed young man detected the hatred surging from Yelu Tianhao’s eyes, hence felt it was strange. Following Yelu Tianhao’s gaze, he sighted Huang Xiaolong.
“That’s Huang Xiaolong?” The purple-eyed young man suddenly realized, then his gaze shifted onto Shi Xiaofei sitting beside Huang Xiaolong. When he saw her alluring beauty, a feverish light flickered unnoticeably in his purple eyes. “No wonder Brother Tianhao would be so infatuated with this woman. If it were me, I’d feel the same.”
A few days had passed and Yelu Tianhao had obviously investigated Huang Xiaolong’s identity and background.
Remembering what happened a few days ago, the hatred in Yelu Tianhao’s eyes intensified, his gaze was fixed on Shi Xiaofei’s face, “There’ll be a day when I push this wench under my body, taking my pleasure in a hundred and eight positions, I'll play her to death!”
