Liu Xi's Intentions

When Liu Xi shouted the price of two million five hundred thousand, Ya Fei on the high platform of the auction house was already smiling.

"Two million five hundred thousand, first time!"

"Two million five hundred thousand, second time!!"

"Two million five hundred thousand, third time!!!"

"Congratulations, Mr. Liu Xi, for successfully acquiring the Profound-tier High-grade Dou Technique - Snowfall in the Human World!" Ya Fei's red lips curved slightly, and her charming voice rang out again.

As this Profound-tier High-grade Dou Technique of the Ice Attribute was auctioned off, the auction house gradually entered its final stage.

Ya Fei stood on the auction stage, surveyed the entire venue, and then her eyes, as soft as flowing water, suddenly fixed on Xiao Tian's direction. She walked gracefully towards him.

"Sir, please follow me!"

Looking at Xiao Tian's face, Ya Fei chuckled.

Ya Fei's beauty and figure were undoubtedly capable of seducing any man, especially her alluring aura, which made her appear charming and enchanting.

If Xiao Tian hadn't had strong willpower, he would have been captivated by Ya Fei's appearance long ago. However, he couldn't help but secretly praise in his heart: This woman is truly captivating!

Xiao Tian smiled and nodded, then stood up and followed Ya Fei with Xun'er.

Returning to the appraisal room, Ya Fei smiled and said, "Please wait a moment, I'll be right back!"

As her voice fell, Ya Fei swayed her waist and walked towards the counter with elegant and light steps. After some activity behind the counter, Ya Fei returned with a pot of tea.

"Please wait a moment, the procedures will be completed shortly!"

Ya Fei's eyebrows curved, revealing a captivating smile, and then she placed the teacups on the table and left.

Not long after Ya Fei left, she returned to the appraisal room, holding a card. She handed it to Xiao Tian and said with a smile, "Sir, this is an exclusive VIP card. With this card, you will receive the highest level of VIP treatment at any of our Mite'er Family's auction houses. Additionally, the tax rate deducted by the auction house will be reduced from five percent to one percent!"

"Oh?" Hearing this, Xiao Tian was slightly taken aback, looking at the card in front of him in surprise.

The card was about half the size of his palm, entirely golden, with intricate patterns engraved on its surface, making it look extremely exquisite.

"Furthermore, the Profound-tier High-grade Dou Technique was auctioned for two million five hundred thousand. After deducting one percent tax, the remainder is all here." Ya Fei said, extending her slender hand and handing Xiao Tian another purple card.

Xiao Tian was stunned for a moment. He took the purple card and examined it. After confirming it was correct, he spoke:

"Is everything done? Then we can leave, right?"

"Yes, of course!" Ya Fei nodded obediently, her smile brilliant. "Be careful on your way. I look forward to our next meeting!"

Looking at Ya Fei's smiling face, which was as beautiful as a flower and could steal souls, Xiao Tian couldn't help but swallow. He then pulled Xun'er and quickly walked out of the appraisal room.

After leaving the auction house, a look of surprise appeared on Xun'er's delicate face. She asked Xiao Tian:

"Brother Xiao Tian, that Profound-tier High-grade Dou Technique of the Ice Attribute, did it come from you?"

Looking at Xun'er's pretty face, Xiao Tian smiled and nodded, neither confirming nor denying.

Xun'er didn't ask further, but her gaze towards Xiao Tian held a hint of admiration.

"Xun'er!"

A moment later, upon seeing Xun'er and Xiao Tian, Xiao Yan, who had been waiting at the auction house entrance, immediately rushed over.

Seeing that Xun'er was unharmed, Xiao Yan's hanging heart finally settled. His gaze then shifted to Xiao Tian, and he said:

"Brother, I just saw Liu Xi. He's looking for Xun'er with a few attendants!"

Xun'er's beautiful eyes blinked, and she asked curiously, "Liu Xi? Wasn't he a alchemist from the Gale Family? What does he want with me?"

Looking at Xun'er's innocent expression, Xiao Tian and Xiao Yan exchanged glances, a wry smile appearing at the corners of their mouths.

This Liu Xi was lecherous and spent his days immersed in women, causing trouble for countless girls in Wutan City.

Him looking for Xun'er with attendants must be because he coveted her beauty.

However, Xiao Tian wasn't worried. With him by Xun'er's side now, no one could harm her in the slightest. Moreover, Xun'er also had experts secretly protecting her.

"Yo, isn't this my goddess, Miss Xun'er? I didn't expect our fate to be so wonderful. I was just thinking of sending Miss Xun'er a grand gift, and unexpectedly, you appeared before me. It truly is a destined union!" A sudden voice rang out. Immediately after, a person dressed in white, with an extremely pale complexion, as if gravely ill, slowly walked out, followed by three attendants.

"Liu Xi, stay away from Xun'er!"

Seeing Liu Xi appear, Xiao Yan's face instantly turned cold. He stared sharply at Liu Xi and shouted.

This Liu Xi had previously helped the Gale Family refine Rejuvenation Powder, seizing the Xiao Family's business. Now, he was setting his sights on Xun'er. How could Xiao Yan not be angry?

In his heart, Xun'er was like a younger sister, and he absolutely would not allow any other man to lay a finger on her.

Looking at Xiao Yan, who was vigilant, Liu Xi ignored him. His gaze was fixed on Xun'er with burning intensity. He licked his dry lips and said, "Miss Xun'er is indeed as beautiful and moving as the rumors say. It is truly my good fortune for three lifetimes to be able to see Miss Xun'er today. This is an extremely rare Profound-tier High-grade Dou Technique of the Ice Attribute. I hope Miss Xun'er will accept it with a smile!"

As he spoke, Liu Xi presented the scroll of the Profound-tier High-grade Dou Technique - Snowfall in the Human World, which he had acquired at the auction, to Xun'er.

Seeing this elaborate maneuver, Xiao Tian and Xun'er exchanged glances. They were both instantly stunned.

This Liu Xi spent two million five hundred thousand at a high price, ostentatiously bidding for the Profound-tier High-grade Dou Technique that Xiao Tian had consigned for auction, all to please Xun'er?

At this moment, seeing the scroll Liu Xi extended towards her, Xun'er was also dumbfounded for a moment.

This Dou Technique was just auctioned by Brother Xiao Tian. I didn't expect it to return so quickly. Why shouldn't I accept it? When Brother Xiao Tian auctions it again, it will be a considerable windfall! After a moment of hesitation, a mischievous thought flashed through her mind. Xun'er smiled sweetly and took the scroll from Liu Xi's hand.

Looking at Xun'er's sweet expression, Liu Xi thought she had accepted his affections. His eyes became even more ardent, and he was eager to pounce forward and embrace Xun'er, cherishing her dearly.

However, he suppressed the impulse and asked with a forced smile:

"If Miss Xun'er likes it, that's good enough. I've prepared a banquet, and I hope Miss Xun'er will do me the honor!"

As he spoke, a subtle glint flashed in Liu Xi's eyes. He had made thorough preparations for this banquet. As long as Xun'er agreed to attend, he could easily charm her, and then wouldn't she be at his mercy?

However, upon hearing Liu Xi's words, Xun'er refused politely without a second thought, and handed the scroll of the Profound-tier High-grade Dou Technique to Xiao Tian.

"Brother Xiao Tian, Brother Xiao Yan, it's getting late, let's head back!" Xun'er said softly.

Looking at Xun'er's lovely and captivating appearance, Xiao Tian smiled and nodded. He cupped his hands towards Liu Xi and said with a smile:

"Thank you for your kind offer, Mr. Liu Xi. If there's anything good like this again, remember to notify us anytime!"

With that, the three turned and left cheerfully.

After they had walked some distance away, Xun'er covered her mouth and chuckled, "Brother Xiao Tian, did I do well?"

Xiao Tian flicked Xun'er's perky little nose and laughed, "You little rascal, when did you become so clever!"

Meanwhile, watching the three depart, Liu Xi, whose face had been grim, suddenly curved his lips into a sinister smile.

Everything had gone according to his plan.

"Heh heh, Xiao Xun'er, you can't escape my grasp!" Liu Xi muttered, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes.
