Gu Yuena is Auctioned! Qian Renxue's Jealousy

"I hate this country," Su Ling's voice was very light, more like stating a cold fact. "From the bone marrow... rotten through and through."

Every word was filled with deep, bone-chilling mockery and detachment.

Qian Renxue trembled all over at his words.

Memories from her previous life surged like a tide.

After he ascended the throne, he had purged the court with an iron fist, investigated auction houses, and killed all nobles, imperial family members, Martial Soul Hall members, and even Upper Three Sects members involved. Heaven Dou City had been stained with blood...

He had once said: "May I become withered bones, paving the road for ten thousand generations, only wishing for a prairie fire to bring peace to the world, and a glimmer of light for mortals..."

At that time, she had only found it ironic, thought him foolish, naive, and out of touch.

To actually oppose the world for those insignificant commoners.

But if, at that time, she had chosen to stand by his side... would the outcome have been different?

Thinking of the young man's relieved smile at the corner of his mouth when the Asura Demon Sword pierced his chest, Qian Renxue felt pain so intense she couldn't breathe, and tears surged down.

If... if she hadn't left back then, if she hadn't stood on his opposite side...

"Don't worry, even if you become an enemy of the world, I will stand by your side."

Qian Renxue's voice trembled slightly, but it carried an unprecedented firmness.

Su Ling looked speechless, thinking to himself, "So, why would I be an enemy of the world?"

As if hearing his thoughts, Qian Renxue seemed to respond.

"I will help you," the maiden said earnestly.

"Help me be an enemy of the world? Should I thank you then?"

Su Ling was full of question marks. He tried to break free, but still couldn't escape her restraint.

He sighed helplessly, his gaze returning to the auction stage.

The cat-eared maiden was being roughly dragged to the front of the stage for display, and the continuous bidding from the audience was as piercing as knives.

"Three thousand Gold Soul Coins!" a fat nobleman shouted, his greasy face full of greed.

"Three thousand five hundred Gold Soul Coins!" someone on the other side immediately raised the price.

Qian Renxue followed his gaze and immediately understood.

"Five thousand Gold Soul Coins," she said coldly in Xue Qinghe's voice, her voice not loud but clearly reaching the entire venue.

The entire auction hall fell silent for a moment, everyone looking in surprise towards that private room.

Although they couldn't see anything happening inside, everyone knew that private room could only belong to the Imperial Family.

"That Crown Prince, pure as ice and jade, who doesn't go near women? He's into this?"

A wave of whispers erupted from below, many faces showing amused smiles.

But out of respect for the Imperial Family's authority, no one dared to bid further.

Su Ling turned his head to look at her in surprise, only to meet her gentle yet firm gaze: "You want to save her, don't you?"

He opened his mouth, suddenly not knowing what to say.

What was this woman thinking.

She had been filled with killing intent towards him just a second ago, and now she was suddenly so considerate.

But thinking about how Qian Renxue in her First Life never followed the script, and was even controlled for several years by his simple statement of being confined to the Cold Palace after becoming a god.

Su Ling felt that this woman's thoughts were indeed more unfathomable than a needle at the bottom of the sea.

Just then--

The auctioneer's voice suddenly rose, filled with unprecedented excitement:

"Next! Tonight's true grand finale treasure!"

"Her beauty is enough to dim the moonlight! Her bloodline is even rarer than one in ten thousand!"

A huge cage, covered with a black cloth, was slowly pushed to the center of the stage.

"I believe everyone must be very curious why we were so certain about the information regarding the Soul Enlightenment Pill?"

"Because the Mysterious Person who initially provided the pill allowed us to verify its effects on this item!"

The auctioneer pointed at the cage, building anticipation.

"Now, let us reveal this treasure that would make even gods' hearts flutter-- behold!"

The black cloth was abruptly pulled off!

Under the dazzling lights, inside the massive cage, a Young Girl with hair like a waterfall was curled up in a Corner.

She was wearing only a thin, tattered white dress, and her exposed skin was covered in bruises, both old and new.

Her slender ankles and wrists were bound by heavy Soul Guiding Shackles, which had dug deeply into her flesh.

Her head was buried deep between her knees, her silver hair obscuring most of her face.

His body trembled violently from the cold and fear.

Even in such a disheveled state, the fleeting glimpse of his profile, the silver hair as pure as snow, still exuded a breathtaking fragile beauty.

Although he looked young, the outline of someone stunningly beautiful in the future could already be seen.

"Wow--!"

"So cute!"

"She's a bit small, but... she'll be fine in a few years."

"Heh heh... no need to raise her! Smaller is better. Bid quickly! I'm going to have her!"

The clamor and greed below instantly reached their peak.

An explosion from the Royal Box

Boom--!!!

An indescribable terrifying aura erupted suddenly!

It wasn't soul power, but a Destructive Intent originating from the deepest part of the soul!

Su Ling's body tensed like a bow drawn to its limit.

Under his hood, his eyes had turned into an Ice-cold Purple Abyss that devoured everything.

He stared intently at the trembling silver-haired figure in the cage!

Qian Renxue was startled by this furious, desperate, and extremely destructive aura.

This level of Soul Pressure was almost at the Divine Origin Realm.

But what concerned him even more was the look in the young man's eyes as he stared fixedly at the silver-haired maiden below.

It was a look of bone-deep Pain and regret, Guilt, and tenderness...

Just like how she looked at him when he was pierced by the Asura Demon Sword.

"You know her?" Qian Renxue's voice was a little tight.

She finally understood why Su Ling, disregarding his injuries and the Divine Power Erosion, would come to this Auction even if it meant death.

She followed Su Ling's gaze, locking onto Gu Yuena in the cage below.

On the surface, she was just a fragile, dirty, and harmless Little Dumpling.

But Qian Renxue had reached the God King Realm in her Previous Life, and her Mental Power was incredibly sharp!

She clearly detected a trace of ancient majesty dormant within the silver-haired maiden, a majesty that made her own soul tremble.

That was the aura of the Lord of Soul Beasts, the Silver Dragon King!

It was the same aura she had felt in the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest when, after becoming a god in her previous life, she had searched the entire world for the young man's soul fragments.

Jealousy! An uncontrollable, bone-deep jealousy instantly transformed into a prairie fire poisonous flame, spreading wildly in Qian Renxue's heart!

Why? Why could this bastard receive such a deeply etched gaze from him?

Why would he come rushing, disregarding everything for her, even dragging his wounded body?

And I... I have pursued him for two lifetimes, only to watch his cold back and feel his heartless rejection?

Qian Renxue was in so much pain she could barely breathe.

Killing intent, an unprecedentedly intense killing intent, condensed and surged in her eyes, almost solidifying.

To pierce through the crystal window and utterly tear apart the silver-haired figure below!
