Chapter 440: Divine Spark Prince

Qiurong Wanxue tilted her head while contemplating, then she suddenly exclaimed: “Jian Xuan… Could he be the descendant of the Nether Crossing Swamp? I heard that he is a really amazing genius. So it turns out that he is a monk!”

Li Qiye smiled in response: “Maybe.”

Perhaps the monk didn’t just run to the Soaring Remembrance Village to unravel the mystery of the village, it was to hide from someone as well.

Qiurong Wanxue recalled the monk’s words and asked while looking at Li Qiye: “Young Noble has a fiancee?”

Li Qiye looked at this mature and alluring woman in a carefree manner and replied: “Why? Are you jealous?”

Qiurong Wanxue glared at him with frustration and snappily retorted: “Don’t you feel that you are a bit too narcissistic? As if I would like you. Plus, your fiancee should be the one that’s jealous, not me!”

Despite being angry, her charming elegance did not lessen at all.

“You don’t have to worry about that.” Li Qiye smiled and continued: “There has not been a woman that I could not deal with. If I wanted to marry you, there would be no such thing as jealousy.”

Qiurong Wanxue glared at him and retorted: “Has no one ever told you about your ego?” Her mature charm juxtaposed her current coquettish and youthful attitude and made her even more alluring.

“People have mentioned it before.” Li Qiye slowly said: “But this is not being egotistic, it is called strength. I, Li Qiye, have never met anything that I couldn’t deal with.”

Qiurong Wanxue had nothing else to say and could only gently sigh. Li Qiye was correct about this.

“Midtown” wasn’t the real name of this particular location in Necropolis. However, because this city was located in the center, cultivators from the outside called it Midtown.

It was a very old and lively city. Midtown could be said to be one of the biggest cities inside Necropolis. There was an ocean of people in this city consisting of both people and ghosts. The distinction between the two was blurred and people would eventually get accustomed to living together with ghosts. Moreover, they were not real ghosts but sentiments, so they easily got along with outside cultivators.

The two of them entered Midtown and easily found out the location and time of the Coffin-tapping Imp auction. They discovered that it was taking place in the afternoon.

Qiurong Wanxue curiously asked after entering Midtown: “Auctions take place in this city? I have never heard about it before.”

Although there were visiting cultivators all year round, the majority of them didn’t want to stay for a long time at Necropolis. Even frequent visitors did not stay for long so one can forget about establishing a sect or an auction house.

The auction houses were just temporarily buildings. Despite visiting this place several times before, this was Qiurong Wanxue’s first time hearing about an auction.

“Occasionally.” Li Qiye said: “If it is an Imp auction, then it will be amazing. It will be a very high quality auction with great goods.”

“Imp?” Qiurong Wanxue curiously inquired: “Is it a Necropolis ghost?”

Li Qiye’s eyes narrowed as he answered: “This… I’m afraid no one knows. Whether Imp is a ghost or a regular being is a mystery. Some say that he is a ghost while others believe that he is just a normal existence.”

Qiurong Wanxue looked at Li Qiye. She felt that he knew more about this matter but didn’t want to reveal it, so she didn’t pry any further.

The Coffin-tapping Imp auction was taking place in an old courtyard in Midtown. However, rather than calling it a courtyard, it was more accurate to call it an abandoned yard. This was a big yet abandoned mansion. The house itself had collapsed a long time ago, leaving behind only a yard big enough to house one thousand visitors.

The two entered the premises around the time the auction began. A large crowd that nearly consisted entirely of cultivators from the outside gathered here.

The news about the auction had been spread in the last few days by an unknown source. There had never been an auction organization at Necropolis, so the news of the Coffin-tapping Imp auction attracted many curious cultivators.

Whether it was for the auction itself or just for the fun, many young cultivators came running here after hearing the news.

Everyone was able to participate in this auction as it was without any restrictions.
