A woman in a red dress walked out, and countless people stared wide-eyed at her alluring, curvaceous figure.
Xiao Yi Xian had to admit that even she felt a flicker of amazement as she looked at Ya Fei. That seductive face, paired with the pink lotus on her forehead, was simply irresistible to young and old alike...
People said married women were the most alluring, but the twenty-something Ya Fei before her was no less so. She even completely outclassed every married woman Xiao Yi Xian had seen in her previous life.
Those fair, slender legs that appeared and vanished beneath her dress... Xiao Yi Xian could even hear Xiao Yan swallowing beside her.
"Hmph!"
Xiao Xun'er angrily pinched the flesh at Xiao Yan's waist, making him shudder in pain.
Seeing this, Xiao Yi Xian silently gave Xiao Xun'er a thumbs-up. As expected of the jealousy queen, Xiao Xun'er. Six-six-six...
As Ya Fei deliberately stirred up the atmosphere, every smile and frown of hers sent the prices below soaring. Whenever someone raised the bid, she would reward them with a seductive smile. At once, those who had been aching over the cost would perk right up.
The atmosphere in the hall remained at its peak amid the seductive woman's soft, hand-covered laughter.
Xiao Yi Xian stared at the scene in astonishment. This...
Was this the beauty trap?
Meow meow...
If she were the one conducting the auction, then... well, it would already be a success if she did not poison a whole crowd to death. She could see those disgusting gazes clearly enough.
In fact, some men in the remote corners had reddened faces as they collapsed to the floor. Was this the charm of a beauty?
Not to mention, seductive Ya Fei paired with that monumental cleavage was simply six-six-six...
"Hehe, everyone, the auction house has just received a new item for auction. I believe you will all be interested in it." After auctioning off the item in her hand, Ya Fei suddenly spoke with a smile. With a wave of her jade-like hand, an attendant hurriedly brought over a jade tray, upon which sat a small white jade bottle.
"This is a second-tier medicinal pill." Delicately lifting the small white jade bottle, Ya Fei's seductive voice made the auction hall fall briefly silent. A moment later, a wave of noise erupted. On the Dou Qi Continent, the most sought-after items were the various medicinal pills refined by alchemists.
"This item is called Foundation Building Spirit Liquid. It is only effective on those below the Dou Zhe level. Soaking one's body in this spirit liquid while cultivating can accelerate the cultivation speed of those below the Dou Zhe level!
"Hehe, if you wish for your descendants to become young geniuses, then do not let this opportunity pass you by." Her alluring red lips parted slightly, and the soft, syrupy voice that came from them made everyone in the hall feel their bones go numb.
"Foundation Building Spirit Liquid? It can actually increase the cultivation speed of Dou Qi?
"Miss Ya Fei, people at that stage do not seem capable of enduring the effects of medicinal pills, do they?"
Although Ya Fei was indeed beautiful and enchanting, there were no shortage of calm-headed people in the hall. After a brief silence, someone raised the question.
"Hehe, this spirit liquid has been personally appraised by Master Gu Ni of our auction house. It is second-tier in quality and absolutely will not have any problems. Everyone may rest assured," Ya Fei said with a smile.
Upon hearing that it had been personally appraised by Master Gu Ni, the voices in the hall immediately quieted considerably. Everyone knew that Master Gu Ni was a second-tier alchemist. In all of Wutan City, even the patriarchs of the three great clans would not dare show him the slightest disrespect.
Xiao Yi Xian leisurely reclined in her chair, sipping medicinal tea. Though she had seen this familiar scene in text, comics, and animation before, witnessing it with her own eyes still left her inevitably shaken.
Everything was just as it had been in the original story. Although she had come here to see Ya Fei, after seeing her, she found herself wanting to take Ya Fei away.
She planned to establish the Xuan Yuan Sect. After all, having one's own faction brought tremendous benefits. If she could have a management genius like Ya Fei, then she...
Could absolutely become a hands-off boss...
But on second thought, how many people could keep up with her pace?
The matter of founding a sect still required careful consideration...
She even spotted a familiar figure in the private room opposite them. It was none other than Nalan Yanran, who had broken off the engagement not long ago!
She was still as noble as she had been a few days ago. Xiao Yan's eyes had even turned red beside her. If Xiao Xun'er had not been keeping him in check, he might truly have dared to cause trouble...
"Patriarch Xiao Zhan has bid forty thousand gold coins. Is anyone willing to bid higher?" Ya Fei asked with a smile as she looked over the quiet hall.
"Since no one is raising the price, this Foundation Building Spirit Liquid shall be purchased by Patriarch Xiao Zhan!" Seeing that no one responded, Ya Fei wisely stopped while she was ahead. She lightly tapped the small hammer in her hand against the table, finalizing the buyer.
The shocking news that the Foundation Building Spirit Liquid had been purchased gradually pulled Xiao Yi Xian back to her senses. Glancing at Xiao Yan beside her, who looked caught between laughter and tears, she found it rather amusing.
The thing he had intended to auction off had actually been bought by his father, and it was even meant for him. Xiao Yi Xian could not help laughing at such a situation.
Xiao Xun'er was sincerely happy for him, but she became very angry when she saw Xiao Yi Xian smiling beside them.
Uncle Xiao had obviously bought it for her Brother Xiao Yan, yet this so-called cousin was actually laughing. Was she mocking him?
Xiao Yi Xian could not hear Xiao Xun'er's thoughts, and even if she could, she would not have said anything.
Although Nalan Yanran was quite interested in it, since Xiao Zhan wanted to buy it for Xiao Yan, she would let Xiao Yan have this bottle of medicine.
As for whether there would be more later?
What a joke.
She was merely a little interested in it. Since she was already a Dou Zhe, this thing was useless to her. Later, she could simply ask for some to be sent to the Nalan Family to train the younger generation.
Xiao Yi Xian boredly narrowed her eyes. She truly did not know what she should do next.
She had established ties with the protagonist, and her relationship with Yao Lao was fairly good as well. As for controlling the Calamity Poison Body, that was only a matter of time.
The only things that seemed important next were the coming-of-age ceremony and Jia Nan Academy.
And it seemed she really could not interfere with either of those. It looked like she should set out again after some time.
Her first destination, naturally, would be the Tagor Desert. She would first go recruit Qing Lin, that child with tremendous potential.
Potential was crucial if she wanted to found a sect, and looking across the early plot of Battle Through the Heavens, only Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin had such great potential.
As for that old bastard Hai Bodong, she would leave him to Xiao Yan!
Although Medusa's eventual achievements were also impressive, she had relied on Heavenly Flames and Xiao Yan's help. Otherwise, her talent would have stopped there.
"Congratulations. This Wind Scroll Art has been successfully purchased by Patriarch Jia Liebi!" Ya Fei smiled faintly. A trace of mockery and amusement flashed through her lowered eyes as the small hammer in her jade-like hand came down beneath Jia Liebi's fixed gaze.
"Dong!"
Xiao Yi Xian groggily opened her eyes. Her violet pupils met a pair of pitch-black eyes.
Looking at the irritating face before her, Xiao Yi Xian threw a small fist at him. Xiao Yan had actually gotten so close to her.
Clutching his head, Xiao Yan said to Xiao Xun'er, "Xun'er, my stomach suddenly feels uncomfortable. I'm going to the restroom. You two head home first!"
Xiao Yan left using that old excuse, leaving only Xiao Yi Xian and Xiao Xun'er in the private room. The atmosphere suddenly became extremely quiet...
"Pfft, I'll be leaving first..."
Xiao Yi Xian suddenly started laughing for some reason. Perhaps the jealousy queen's expression was simply too funny.
