Harvest

After leaving Auction Hall No. 1, Mo Yu was led by a maidservant to a room filled with a faint fragrance, where he quietly waited with his head lowered.

After a long while, a somewhat hurried series of footsteps came from outside. A graceful figure pushed the door open and entered.

"Hehe, are you the owner who commissioned the auction of the Profound-tier Dou Technique? This should be your first time in Wu Tan City, right, sir?" A fragrant breeze swept over him, followed by a soft, sweet laugh that suddenly rang beside Mo Yu's ear, causing his heart to tremble slightly.

She really is a vixen. Mo Yu buried his face deeper into his cloak, his gaze shifting slightly toward the red-dressed woman standing beside him.

The woman was none other than Ya Fei. The moment the auction ended, she had learned that the person who had helped her out of her predicament onstage was the one who had commissioned the auction of the Dou Technique. She had then instructed a maidservant to bring him to her office.

Mo Yu looked at the charming woman in front of him, nodded slightly, and said in the alluring voice of a middle-aged man, "Was the auction successful? Give me the money. Just deduct the cost of the Mountain River Stone from it."

Hearing this, Ya Fei covered her red lips with her jade-like hand and chuckled softly. The pair of full breasts before her drew a breathtaking arc. After laughing for a while, Ya Fei finally said with a beaming smile, "Please wait a little longer, sir. Some procedures are still being handled."

Mo Yu nodded slightly. Then, as if he had thought of something, he said to Ya Fei, "Does your auction house have any low-grade Storage Rings? My previous one broke, so I want to replace it.

"Hmm... I also need Second-Order Demonic Cores of the Fire Element and Lightning Element. Buy as many as the remaining money can afford. I want them all."

One hundred and fifty thousand gold coins were once again squandered completely by Mo Yu in just a few words.

Seeing how extravagantly Mo Yu spent money and threw around his wealth, Ya Fei was stunned. She quickly recovered, however, and waved her hand to call over a maidservant, instructing her to carry out Mo Yu's request.

"Sir, why did you spend three thousand gold coins to buy the Mountain River Stone just now? Could it be that you know what it is used for?"

At this moment, Ya Fei approached him again. After pondering briefly, she narrowed her beautiful eyes and tried to sound Mo Yu out.

Hearing this, Mo Yu looked at the beautiful woman before him. As her slender waist swayed, it released an alluring charm. Her curvaceous, plump figure caused some men with poor self-control to feel as if flames were rising from their lower abdomen.

Especially when she had lowered her head while asking him just now—at that instant, a glimpse of pale whiteness had even been faintly visible, making one's imagination run wild.

Mo Yu quickly steadied his mind, however, and said indifferently, "Young Miss Ya Fei looked so lovely and moving onstage just now. To win Young Miss Ya Fei's favor, I bought it on a whim.

"What, are three thousand gold coins a lot?"

Naturally, Mo Yu would not reveal the purpose of the Mountain River Stone, so he changed the subject and deliberately expressed his goodwill toward the woman before him.

Sure enough, Ya Fei's pretty face froze for a moment. Thinking of his extravagant spending just now, three thousand gold coins might be a fortune in the eyes of ordinary people, but that did not include the mysterious man before her.

"Hehe, then thank you for your support, sir." Thinking of how he had stepped forward to help her out at the critical moment, Ya Fei smiled happily.

Sure enough, no matter which world one is in, spending money is the fastest way to win a girl's favor. Seeing Ya Fei's happy expression, Mo Yu secretly sighed.

"Since I was able to make Young Miss Ya Fei happy, it seems those three thousand gold coins were well spent." Having steered the conversation away from the Mountain River Stone, Mo Yu teased the mature woman before him with great interest.

He was not Xiao Yan, that still somewhat immature youth. Having lived three lives, he had become quite adept at understanding women's thoughts.

Looking at the mysterious man before her and listening to his alluring voice, Ya Fei was indeed in a very pleasant mood.

It could be said that there were truly very few women who could resist a man spending money on them. Even if they did not immediately develop feelings, they would still gain a few favorable impressions.

Thus, under Mo Yu's deliberate guidance, the conversation continued until a maidservant entered carrying the items fifteen minutes later, finally interrupting the somewhat ambiguous atmosphere.

"Have the things arrived?" Although their pleasant chat had been abruptly interrupted, Mo Yu felt somewhat expectant when he thought of today's harvest.

"Mm." Ya Fei nodded with a smile, her snow-white chin gleaming. Thinking of her playful conversation with the man before her, the usually elegant and generous Ya Fei could not help blushing slightly.

Ya Fei raised her delicate hand and took a pale-blue jade card from the maidservant. Smiling, she said, "Sir, the total auction price of the Profound-tier Dou Technique was one hundred and fifty thousand gold coins. After deducting the other expenses, all the remaining money is in this card."

After saying that, Ya Fei took out a black Storage Ring. "Everything you requested is also inside the Storage Ring. Please check it carefully."

Mo Yu reached out and accepted the blue jade card and black Storage Ring. They felt cool and comfortable in his hand, clearly indicating that they had been made at considerable expense. He gently stroked the jade card and nodded.

Looking at those fair, powerful hands that resembled those of a youth, Ya Fei felt a strange sensation inexplicably rise in her heart.

His Soul Power entered the Storage Ring. It had roughly three or four square meters of space. Aside from several tens of thousands of gold coins, there was a head-sized black stone in the corner, along with two Magic Cores, one purple and one red.

They were precisely the Mountain River Stone and the Second-Order Demonic Cores of the Fire Element and Lightning Element!

"Not a bad harvest." Beneath his cloak, the corner of Mo Yu's mouth curled into a smile as he thought.

The Mountain River Stone could be forged into a Beast Ring, whose internal space was comparable to that of some high-grade Storage Rings. Whether used to store items or contract a Magical Beast, it would be an excellent item.

As for the two Second-Order Demonic Cores, they would be enough for him to break through to Dou Zhe.

Thinking of this, Mo Yu suddenly felt that he had gained a great deal and had not made the trip in vain.

With this in mind, Mo Yu suddenly asked Ya Fei, "Do you have any Third-Tier Magic Cores of the Fire Element and Lightning Element here?"

Hearing this, Ya Fei was also stunned. She immediately shook her head and said, "Third-Tier Magic Cores and those above that level are only available at higher-level auctions. I'm sorry, but Wu Tan City doesn't have auctions of that caliber."

Seeing this, Mo Yu was somewhat disappointed, but he still nodded in understanding.

After all, a Third-Tier Magical Beast was already comparable to a human Da Dou Shi. In Wu Tan City, a Da Dou Shi was unquestionably an apex combatant. Such experts clearly would not risk their lives hunting Magical Beasts, so the scarcity of Third-Tier Magic Cores was hardly surprising.

This was also one of the reasons Mo Yu was eager to leave Wu Tan City. As his strength gradually increased, this small place could no longer satisfy his needs.

Since he had obtained everything, Mo Yu did not linger. He casually waved his hand at Ya Fei and said indifferently, "I'm leaving."

"Oh..."

Hearing that Mo Yu was leaving, Ya Fei felt a faint reluctance rise in her heart for some reason.

At the same time, Mo Yu stood up and resolutely walked out of this lethal room.

Watching Mo Yu's disappearing back, the smile on Ya Fei's pretty face slowly faded. Remembering the seductive techniques he had somehow learned just now, a flush gradually rose across her face. Her fiery figure leaned lazily against the back of the chair, while her hand involuntarily reached toward...
