Chapter 234 2 (1/2)
The Changes of Divine Space Island
Try to imagine this: how would they feel if they knew that there was still one of the Seven Venerated of the Internal Endless Sea – Venerated Dong Xu, who personally met Ning Fan and tried to rope him in by offering him precious benefits that would tempt just about anyone at the Nascent Soul Realm?
Unfortunately, none of them would know anything about it. Likewise, none of them would figure out that Evil Light would be brought back although he was seen fleeing away at an incredible speed.
After the death of a Spirit Severing Realm old monster, most of the cultivators who bid for the last item were instantly filled with regrets.
After the death of Evil Light, the Dao Fruit lost its master.
On the auction stage, the Late Nascent Soul Realm auctioneer’s face was filled with awkwardness.
To whom should I give this Dao Fruit…
“Who was it that shouted 8 million just now?” The auctioneer’s eyes swept across the hall and landed on the Nascent Soul Realm old monster who called out the price earlier. Immediately, that cultivator behaved anxiously as if he was sitting on pins and needles and inwardly cursed at the auctioneer.
F**k you! Are you blind and senseless? Why the hell are you looking at me?! This Dao Fruit is clearly a hot potato. It has to belong to the sect master of Bi Yao Sect, Su Yao! Don’t you know who Su Yao is?! The devil lord, Zhou Ming, has literally said that she is his human cauldron! Evil Light who shouted 9 million has died… Do you want me to die too?! He is Zhou Ming ah! Don’t you get it?! Zhou Ming ah! During the auction in Peng Lai Immortal Island, he massacred thousands of people. This time, he even killed a Spirit Severing Realm expert. If I dare to go against his woman for the Dao Fruit, there is no way I can be freaking alive!
That cultivator was a respectable Late Nascent Soul Realm old monster of the Lu Clan from the External Endless Sea. However, he was as insignificant as an insect in front of the devil lord, Zhou Ming.
Before he could even speak, he could feel the cold-piercing eyes of Ning Fan staring at him.
For a moment, he felt a chill down his spine with his heart skipping a beat.
It’s bad! I’m being targeted by him!
“This Fellow Daoist, you bid 8 million, didn’t you? Please pay for it…” The auctioneer squeezed out a smile on his face. Deep inside, he earnestly wished that the auction could end straight away and immediately leave the tower.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t bring enough money. I don’t want the Dao Fruit anymore. Give it to the person who bid for 7 million just now!” The old monster surnamed Lu’s face was filled with impatience and terror.
“Er… If that’s the case, the Fellow Daoist who bid 7 million just now, please pay for it…”
“Aiya. It’s so unlucky that I didn’t bring enough money as well… Please give it to the person who shouted 6.6 million earlier…”
“Er. Who bid for 6.6 million…”
Before the auctioneer could finish speaking, a series of voices echoed in the air.
“It’s such an unlucky day. I lost my storage pouch. I’m sorry. I don’t have 6.6 million…”
“I shouted 6.2 million but I don’t have enough money…”
“This old man shouted 6 million but similarly, I don’t have that amount of money ah…”
The old monsters exchanged awkward glances. None of them dared to take the Dao Fruit.
They were not imbeciles who would risk offending the devil lord Zhou Ming for just 20 units of magic power… If they lost their lives, all their efforts in cultivation would then be washed down the drain.
“Interesting. Everyone seems to have insufficient money. As such, only Yao Er2 could buy this Dao Fruit…” Ning Fan grinned while Su Yao blushed.
She was both grateful and angry.
Yao Er… Since when did I allow him to address me in that manner…
The dignified sect master of Bi Yao Sect which was one of the top ten sects in the External Endless Sea was publicly announced as Zhou Ming’s human cauldron. That identity did not degrade her worth. On the contrary, countless female devil cultivators secretly envied Su Yao for having Zhou Ming’s protection.
“Er… Sect Master Su, this Dao Fruit is worth 5.5 million. Do you have enough money…” The auctioneer bitterly smiled.
“Of course I do…” Su Yao who had yet to recover from what had happened earlier answered intuitively and flew to the stage while kicking her legs, making her appear to be walking inmid-air. After paying the exact amount of immortal jade, she returned to her room with the Dao Fruit.
The sale of the Dao Fruit marked the end of the auction. Finally, the stressed-out auctioneer was permitted to leave. The person who took over his position next was Yan Zhongze.
He had been invited by Xu Rushan to preside over the Peak Nascent Soul Realm auction. Many of the items that would be auctioned were able to raise the interest of the Spirit Severing Realm experts to bid. It would then be dangerous if there was not a Spirit Severing Realm expert to manage the auction.
All the cultivators below the Peak Nascent Soul Realm stood up and left the tower. A short while later, there wasn’t a single person left at the second floor.
Meanwhile, those Peak Nascent Soul Realm cultivators who did not possess the Pleasure Devil Pass also had to leave the auction.
In other words, Su Yao could not stay at the auction too.
However, there wasn’t any reason for her to stay any longer as she had achieved her main objective.
“Thank you…” She bit her lip in shyness.
This time, can this be considered as the fourth time he saved me?
“Only thanking me verbally…” Ning Fan teased.
“Er. No. It’s not…”
Her cheeks turned rosy and signaled the other female cultivators of her sect to leave first.
When every female cultivator left the room, Su Yao hesitated as if she was making the biggest decision of her life. Then she stood on the tip of her toes and brushed her lips against Ning Fan’s cheek, just like a dragonfly touching the water lightly.
“If you come to Bi Yao Sect one day, I, Su Yao, will never break my promise. I will be ready for you to pluck me…”
Her cheeks became redder and hotter. As the master of the sect, she would be considered audacious to speak such words to a man.
But still, I have to leave…
She slowly walked to the door of the room. Each of the steps she made got her further away from Ning Fan, making her feel an inexplicable disappointment.
However, before she could exit the room, Ning Fan caught her wrist.
“Wait.”
“Why? Is a kiss not enough for you…” When her skin came into contact with Ning Fan’s hand, she felt her body become limp and numb and felt reluctant to let go of Ning Fan’s hand.
