Ya Fei

"Just as I thought, lots of people need this stuff!" On the day of the auction, Yun Shu stood near the Mittel Auction House, watching the crowded throng at its entrance with a slight smile.

They were all men. Less than a tenth were women. The more people who came, the more he would earn today.

Only after the auction had been underway for quite a while and the entrance had mostly emptied did Yun Shu put on the Black Robe he had prepared beforehand. Holding a token, he entered the Auction House's VIP Room without obstruction.

He did not have any money to buy things anyway, so why go in so early...

Still, while outside just now, he had heard something unexpected...

Clan Leader Xiao. Someone had called out that name, which was quite surprising. There was only one Xiao clan leader in Wu Tan City: Xiao HuoHuo's father, Xiao Zhan.

Although Yun Shu did not know why Xiao Zhan had come to this auction, most of the men here today had probably come for the Deer Horn he was auctioning.

"No wonder Xiao Zhan never found Xiao Yan a stepmother after Xiao Yan's mother left. So he couldn't do it anymore..." Yun Shu thought silently as he looked at Xiao Zhan below.

"Forget it, no point thinking about that. I got to see Ya Fei today, so it wasn't a loss!" Yun Shu curled his lips as he looked at the auctioneer below. He had finally seen her in person. Sure enough, she was just as described in the book—a true beauty.

Seductive and enchanting, beautiful and captivating, every smile and frown of hers sent the prices below soaring. She was already extremely skilled at using her appeal to men to stir up the atmosphere.

However, Yun Shu was clearly not the kind of man who thought only with his lower half. If he threw himself wholeheartedly at Ya Fei now, he would only end up being squeezed dry.

Therefore, improving his cultivation was what mattered most. Women could be put further down the list...

As the saying went, once fed and warm, people think about sex... Bah! Anyway, he needed to ensure his own safety first, then consider women.

Of course, that did not mean he would ignore them completely. Otherwise, Xiao Yan would sooner or later steal them away...

"There really isn't anything good in this auction! Sure enough, everyone came for the aphrodisiac!" Yun Shu thought with a smile.

After watching for around half an hour, it was finally time for Yun Shu's Deer Horn.

"Next up for auction..." Ya Fei paused abruptly. It was actually rather embarrassing for a woman like her to introduce this sort of thing.

Although she knew exactly how alluring she was to men, that did not mean she was a shameless woman. She had come to Wu Tan City to gain experience precisely to avoid the advances of those wealthy and powerful men in the Imperial Capital...

Thus, when it came to this Deer Horn, Ya Fei suppressed the awkwardness in her heart and solemnly introduced its effects.

"All right, that concludes the introduction. The starting price for this final item is 100,000 Gold Coins, and each bid increase must be no less than 10,000 Gold Coins!"

"120,000!" To Ya Fei's surprise, a man called out the moment she finished speaking.

"150,000!"

"I bid 200,000!"

"Keep shouting, keep shouting!!" Yun Shu watched the group below with narrowed eyes. The fiercer they bid, the more he would earn. Several hundred thousand Gold Coins... what valuable things would he be able to get from the Lottery this time?

The bidding continued for roughly fifteen minutes before finally ending. The final buyer surprised Yun Shu, though it also seemed perfectly reasonable...

That was right. The one who bought the Deer Horn was Xiao Yan's daddy, Xiao Zhan!

He had bought Yun Shu's Deer Horn for 580,000 Gold Coins.

Yun Shu was grinning from ear to ear. He had thought selling it for two or three hundred thousand would already be good enough, but he had never expected it to fetch so much. Sure enough, choosing to auction it had been the right decision.

The price was even higher than the Profound High Rank technique, the Wind Scroll Technique, from the original story. That technique had only sold for 550,000...

After the auction ended, Yun Shu was led by a maid to the VIP Room of the Mittel Auction House.

Although a transaction worth over 500,000 was not particularly large in the Imperial Capital, it counted as a major transaction in tiny Wu Tan City. Hadn't the Gale Family's Clan Leader been heartbroken after spending over 500,000 on a technique?

That showed that more than 500,000 Gold Coins was still a tremendous amount even for one of Wu Tan City's largest families.

"Where's the money... Why hasn't it been delivered yet?!" Yun Shu muttered as he anxiously swung his legs in the VIP Room. The auction was already over. Logically, the money should have arrived soon.

After all, the money mainly came from the Xiao Family, and the Mittel Auction House did not need to pay it themselves. They only needed to take a five percent handling fee, which was why Yun Shu was so impatient...

More than 500,000! If he used that much money for the Lottery, he would definitely be able to draw something extremely valuable.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, little... sir?!" The door to the VIP Room opened. Ya Fei carried a tray and stared in astonishment at the Black Robe figure before her, whose build clearly belonged to a child.

"Little sir?!" Yun Shu altered his voice, trying to make it deeper and more alluring so Ya Fei would understand that he was not a child.

"Hmm?" Yet Ya Fei blinked her eyes in an almost adorable manner and looked at Yun Shu innocently.

"..."

"Fine!" Yun Shu helplessly removed his Black Robe. As expected of the woman who could discern Xiao Yan's true identity even when Yao Lao was impersonating him just through observation alone—her eye was sharp, and her powers of observation and perception were exceptional.

Yun Shu covered his face helplessly. His disguise had been for nothing...

"What is your name, little sir?" Ya Fei asked with a smile as she looked at the clearly underage boy before her.

"My name is... Guo Degang!" Yun Shu said after a brief hesitation.

"You're lying! It's not good to deceive people, little brother!" Ya Fei walked up to Yun Shu, set the tray down on a nearby table, then rubbed his messy hair with a smile.

"Yun Shu..." Yun Shu sighed helplessly.

This child who had lived for twenty years was simply no match for her. Too terrifying. Yun Shu had better avoid getting involved with this woman for now.

"Little Brother Yun Shu, these are your things. Keep them safe!" After hearing a name from Yun Shu that did not seem fake this time, Ya Fei smiled and took the green card from the tray, handing it to him. It was this world's bank card.

"Then I'll take my leave!" After accepting the bank card, Yun Shu had no intention of staying any longer. If he remained here, Ya Fei might even trick out the color of the underwear he was wearing today.

"You're leaving so soon?" Ya Fei seemed somewhat surprised. She had not expected this young man to ignore her beauty and resolutely choose to leave.

"I have important matters to attend to, so I won't stay any longer." Yun Shu looked at Ya Fei, then turned his head away somewhat shyly.

"Goodbye, little brother~" Ya Fei smiled faintly at Yun Shu's appearance.

"How interesting. It's been a long time since I met someone this cute." She did not believe Yun Shu was truly shy.
