A Real Stunner!

"So... that was Ya Fei?"

In the private room, the melon seeds in Xiao Yan's hand fell to the floor.

Xiao Yan stared blankly at the woman on the stage.

Even though he had seen plenty of beautiful female celebrities back on Blue Star, the natural allure exuding from this woman still struck him like a critical blow.

It was not the air of a courtesan, but a seductive charm carved into her very bones, coupled with an untouchable air of nobility.

"Gulp."

Someone swallowed, the sound especially clear in the quiet private room.

Xiao Xun'er tilted her head slightly, glanced at the dazed Xiao Yan, then at Ya Fei on the stage. Her delicate brows furrowed faintly.

Vixen.

She silently gave her assessment.

"Everyone, sorry to keep you waiting." Ya Fei walked to the center of the auction platform, her red lips parting slightly.

Her voice was soft enough to melt bones, yet it carried clearly to every corner.

"I am Ya Fei. I will be hosting today's auction."

That simple opening instantly ignited the atmosphere throughout the hall.

The men below erupted in wolfish howls, and some even stood up and shouted Ya Fei's name.

Ya Fei had long since grown used to such scenes.

She raised one hand slightly. She did not even need to say anything; with a gentle downward press of her slender jade fingers, the clamor miraculously died down.

That was her ability to control the room.

"Enough nonsense. Miteer Auction House has never disappointed anyone."

With a wave of Ya Fei's hand, a maid stepped forward carrying a tray.

"The first auction item is a dagger forged from the claws of a second-tier magical beast, the Gale Wolf..."

The usual auction proceedings moved swiftly.

Ya Fei knew exactly how to stir up emotions. Even an ordinary weapon could sell for thirty percent above its value under her teasing words and the gaze of those seductive eyes.

Jia Lie Bi and Ao Ba Pa frowned as they watched from their private rooms, yet they had no choice but to admire the woman's methods.

"That temptress... if I could marry her and bring her home..." Ao Ba Pa licked his lips, his eyes full of greed.

Jia Lie Bi snorted. "Keep dreaming. A thorny rose like that will prick your hand badly."

As one item after another was sold, the atmosphere gradually reached its peak.

On the Xiao Family's side, Xiao Zhan also made bids on several medicinal herbs, considering them cultivation resources for Xiao Yan.

Though Xiao Yan was not particularly interested, his eyes had never once left Ya Fei on the stage.

"Alright."

Ya Fei suddenly put away her professional fake smile, her expression turning somewhat more solemn.

She clapped her hands.

A burly guard stepped forward carrying an exquisite jade tray. It was covered with a red cloth, concealing whatever lay beneath.

Yet everyone keenly sensed that the finale had arrived.

Ya Fei walked over to the jade tray and swept her gaze over the crowd, cunning light flickering in her peach-blossom eyes.

"I know that all of you have been waiting to see Miteer Auction House make a fool of itself.

You think that in this tiny Wutan City, we cannot produce any earth-shattering treasures."

She extended two fingers and gently pinched a corner of the red cloth.

"But today, I will tell you all that the skies over Wutan City are about to change."

As her words fell, she abruptly tore away the red cloth!

There was no dazzling golden light, no treasure aura soaring to the heavens.

At the center of the jade tray lay a small white jade bottle.

The entire hall fell silent.

Then, scattered boos began to rise.

"Miss Ya Fei, this is your finale treasure? A bottle of medicine?"

"Exactly. Even if it's a third-grade pill, there's no need for such a grand display, is there?"

Jia Lie Bi even burst out laughing.

"Has Miteer Auction House run out of stock? You're trying to fool us with a bottle of medicine?"

Ya Fei turned a deaf ear to those doubts.

She picked up the jade bottle and removed its stopper.

An incredibly overbearing, richly medicinal scent tinged with blood instantly surged from the mouth of the bottle. Carried by Dou Qi, it swiftly spread through the entire auction hall.

The smell was not pleasant; it was even somewhat pungent. Yet everyone who caught a whiff felt as though the blood in their bodies had begun to boil.

Xiao Yan, who had been listless until then, suddenly sat upright and forcefully sniffed twice.

"That medicinal scent... what violent power!"

Xiao Xun'er also revealed a surprised expression.

Ya Fei raised the jade bottle in her hand, her voice growing impassioned.

"This pill is called—the Beast Power Pill!"

"A first-grade pill."

Upon hearing the words "first-grade," the boos below grew even louder.

A first-grade pill?

And this thing dared to be the finale?

The smile at the corner of Ya Fei's lips deepened.

"What's the rush?"

Ya Fei's voice turned cold, instantly suppressing the commotion.

"Though it is only first-grade, its effects are enough to drive every Dou Zhe present, even Dou Masters, completely mad."

"Anyone who consumes this pill will experience a massive increase in physical strength for the time it takes an incense stick to burn, gaining strength comparable to a magical beast of the same rank! Their skin will harden like iron, their defense will greatly increase, and their sense of pain will be reduced!"

The entire hall was silent as death.

Everyone stared wide-eyed, doubting their own ears.

A massive increase in strength? Comparable to a magical beast?

"That's impossible!"

In a second-floor private room, Jia Lie Bi shot to his feet, both hands gripping the railing tightly as he cried out in disbelief.

"How can there be such a pill in this world? Even a second-grade Strength Boosting Pill only increases one's strength by thirty percent! Comparable to a magical beast? Are you saying it can turn people into magical beasts?"

"And such a ferocious medicine must have immense side effects! Wouldn't someone be crippled after taking it?" Ao Ba Pa joined in the jeering.

Ya Fei turned around and looked toward the second-floor private rooms, a trace of contempt in her gaze.

"I knew you wouldn't believe it."

"So today, we specially prepared a demonstration."

She clapped her hands.

Zhao Hu, the guard who had previously taken the Beast Power Pill, walked out bare-chested.

After three days of recuperation, he was already brimming with vigor.

"Zhao Hu, an eight-star Dou Zhe," Ya Fei introduced.

Then another guard led forward an Iron-Hide Savage Bull confined in a cage.

"A second-tier, early-stage magical beast—the Iron-Hide Savage Bull. It is known for its thick hide, tough flesh, and immense strength. Even ordinary Dou Masters would not dare take its charge head-on."

The audience was somewhat bewildered.

What was this supposed to be?

Ya Fei tossed the pill in her hand to Zhao Hu.

Zhao Hu caught it and threw back his head to swallow it.

In merely three breaths.

"Roar!"

Zhao Hu suddenly let out a low roar. His skin instantly took on a strange iron-gray sheen, his muscles swelling as if inflated, and his entire body grew a full size larger out of thin air.

A fierce aura erupted from within him.

"Open the cage!" Ya Fei commanded.

The iron cage opened, and the Iron-Hide Savage Bull, starved for two days, charged out with bloodshot eyes and rammed straight at Zhao Hu.

Those sharp horns could shatter even stone if they struck solidly!

Some people even covered their eyes, afraid to watch the bloody scene that would follow.

However.

Rather than retreat, Zhao Hu charged forward to meet it, thrusting out both hands and tightly grabbing those two horns!

"Bang!"

A dull collision rang out.
