Inside a private room at the Mittel Auction House, Flowing Cloud lounged leisurely on a soft couch, secretly observing everything in the auction hall.
At this moment, every seat in the auction house was filled. The crowd was immense, and the event was even more lively than the previous auction.
Seeing this, Flowing Cloud felt slightly pleased with himself.
If he had not sent Ya Fei out to promote it, how could there have been such a scene?
"Young Master, please have some tea!"
Inside the private room, a delicate-looking young girl offered him a cup of fragrant tea, her manner exceedingly careful and respectful.
"Sweet Potato, set it down first. I'll drink it after it cools."
Flowing Cloud pointed at the tea table before him and spoke softly to the girl.
Quite a few precious fruits were also laid out on the tea table. The treatment was excellent.
Ya Fei had personally arranged all of this.
Ever since Flowing Cloud had subdued Master Gu Ni before Ya Fei, Ya Fei had become even more respectful toward him than before.
Not only had she assigned Flowing Cloud a personal maid, but his daily meals had also become much more refined.
This is what a young master's life should be like!
Flowing Cloud sighed inwardly. Only in these past few days since arriving in this world had he experienced the luxurious life of a young master.
"Yes, Young Master!"
Hearing Flowing Cloud's words, the girl answered obediently and moved to place the tea on the table.
Bang!
Perhaps because she was too nervous, the girl became slightly distracted and staggered. A little tea immediately spilled from the cup in her hand.
Having made a mistake, the girl's small face instantly turned pale. She hurriedly knelt before Flowing Cloud. "Young Master, I'm sorry... I'm sorry!"
Looking at the girl before him, startled like a frightened rabbit, Flowing Cloud was somewhat speechless.
Was I really that scary?
She's been with me for two days, and I don't think I've ever been harsh with her.
Why does she act as if I'm some kind of brutal tyrant?
"It's fine, it's fine. It's only a little spilled tea."
"It doesn't matter."
Flowing Cloud showed a gentle smile and softly comforted the girl.
"Thank you, Young Master!"
Seeing that Flowing Cloud was not angry, the girl finally relaxed. She stood and wiped up the spilled tea.
When Ya Fei had arranged for her to serve Flowing Cloud, she had sternly warned her.
She had to satisfy any request from this Young Master at all costs, even... certain excessively unreasonable requests.
If she angered the Young Master, the consequences would be extremely severe.
That was why she had always been so cautious around Flowing Cloud.
Having worked at the Mittel Auction House for so long, the girl naturally understood what Ya Fei meant by unreasonable requests.
When she entered Flowing Cloud's courtyard, she had already prepared herself to give herself to him.
What reassured her slightly was that after serving the Young Master for two days...
The Young Master did not seem to have any intention of asking her to give herself to him.
While that made her feel fortunate, it also left a faint sense of disappointment in her heart.
Flowing Cloud lifted the tea, gently blew on it, then took a light sip.
After waiting nearly half an hour, Ya Fei's figure finally appeared slowly on the auction stage.
At the center of the auction hall, Ya Fei swayed her slender waist as she slowly stepped onto the stage.
Under countless gazes, Ya Fei, dressed in a red cheongsam-like outfit, walked gracefully onto the auction stage.
Her voluptuous figure, with its alluring curves tightly wrapped by the red dress, immediately set some of the people present staring with heated eyes.
"Everyone, welcome to this auction held by the Mittel Auction House. Ya Fei guarantees that this auction will absolutely not disappoint you."
With a seductive smile on her pretty face, Ya Fei covered her mouth and spoke to the audience below with a charming laugh.
That mature allure, enough to stir wicked flames in one's lower belly, easily heated up the atmosphere in the hall.
Inside the private room, Flowing Cloud smiled at the sight.
Ya Fei truly had a natural talent for being an auctioneer.
As expected of the Mittel Auction House's chief auctioneer!
Watching the crowd below already beginning to stir, Flowing Cloud clicked his tongue.
At this moment, even if Ya Fei casually put a few cheap street-stall goods up for auction, some lust-addled fools would probably treat them as treasures and buy them home!
Seeing this, a hint of pride also flashed through Ya Fei's beautiful eyes on the stage.
Having hosted auctions for many years, Ya Fei knew full well how attractive her beauty was to men.
Her beautiful eyes discreetly swept toward the private room where Flowing Cloud was, and her red lips parted as she chuckled. She clapped her jade-like hands and said with a smile, "Everyone, Ya Fei will not waste any more words. Let us begin the auction for the first item."
The instant Ya Fei's words fell, the entire auction hall fell silent.
Ya Fei clapped her hands, and a delicate-looking maid slowly walked onto the stage carrying a wooden box.
"The first auction item is a first-grade pill, the Qi Gathering Pill." Ya Fei opened the wooden box with her jade-like hand and introduced it to the crowd below.
"Qi Gathering Pill!"
"I heard that taking this pill can increase one's strength by nearly ten percent for a short time!"
"Damn, that's powerful!"
As soon as Ya Fei finished speaking, discussions immediately erupted throughout the auction hall.
Of course, those discussing it were mostly independent cultivators or mercenaries.
For the great aristocratic families, a first-grade pill was no longer enough to draw their attention.
Their only goal this time was the Qi Gathering Pill.
Other than the Qi Gathering Pill, nothing could likely attract them.
This Qi Gathering Pill was ultimately won by an independent cultivator for two thousand five hundred Gold Coins.
"Ding! The first-grade pill Qi Gathering Pill has been successfully auctioned. Congratulations, Host, for triggering a six-thousandfold return and obtaining the fifth-grade pill Purple Restoration Pill." "The Purple Restoration Pill has been deposited into the System Space. Please check it, Host."
Six-thousandfold return?
Purple Restoration Pill?
Inside the private room, upon hearing the system notification in his mind, Flowing Cloud abruptly rose to his feet, excitement appearing on his handsome face.
"Ah..."
"Young Master..."
"Do you have any orders?"
Flowing Cloud's sudden movement made the little maid beside him tremble. Her small face turned pale as she looked at him, appearing pitiful and helpless.
"Uh..."
"It's nothing. I just sat for too long and needed to stretch..."
Flowing Cloud smiled awkwardly and sat back down.
As his consciousness entered the System Space, Flowing Cloud saw a purple medicinal pill floating in the void, emitting a rich Medicinal Fragrance.
So this was the Purple Restoration Pill?
Flowing Cloud was somewhat familiar with the Purple Restoration Pill.
He remembered that this kind of pill had been mentioned in the original work.
After taking it, one could completely restore strength that had declined due to a seal or internal injuries.
Flowing Cloud remembered that in the original work, the Ice Emperor Hai Bodong's cultivation had been sealed by Queen Medusa. Later, Xiao Yan had used this pill to remove the seal.
At the thought of Hai Bodong, an idea suddenly flashed through Flowing Cloud's mind, and he recalled Hai Bodong's identity.
The Ice Emperor Hai Bodong seemed to be the Grand Elder of the Mite'er Family?
PS: Happy New Year, everyone! May the Year of the Tiger bring you great fortune and strength!
