Therefore, the rumors circulating that he was blinded by women are absolutely false.
But if it wasn't because he was attracted to Catwoman's beauty, why would he spend so much money to buy her?
For a moment, Ning Fengzhi was filled with doubt and couldn't help but ask the other party, "Young man, why did you buy her?"
Yu Tianheng did not answer, but instead asked Ning Fengzhi, "Then what is your purpose in buying her?"
Ning Fengzhi replied, "I did it to save her soul."
After a pause, Ning Fengzhi continued, "The reason she has ended up like this is because of the Martial Soul Mutation. It's not her fault. Therefore, I want to save her, rescue her from her predicament, and give her a relatively safe and free living environment."
"I see. You are truly compassionate. I admire you," Yu Tianheng said calmly.
Although he was polite on the surface, he was inwardly disdainful. Since Ning Fengzhi was so kind-hearted, why didn't he help the poor? There were so many beggars Heaven Dou City, but he didn't give them any.
The so-called kindness is only relative. The reason for saving this catwoman is simply because he thinks she can be of some profit. At the very least, he can buy her and display her as a vase, which is pleasing to the eye.
"To be honest, my thoughts are the same as yours. I bought her to save her, but after I buy her, I will teach her how to protect herself, so that she will have enough ability to protect herself and will not be coveted by outsiders because of her beauty."
"As the saying goes, 'Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.' If you are buying her out of good intentions to protect her, in my opinion, this behavior is not much different from keeping a canary in a cage. Rather than that, you might as well give her to me, and I will teach her the real way to protect herself."
Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi was startled and deeply moved by Yu Tianheng's words.
So he stopped raising the price, saying, "In that case, you can go and rescue her, young man. I won't interfere."
"Thank you!" Yu Tianheng clasped his hands in a respectful bow, then looked at the auctioneer and asked loudly, "Can the auction continue?"
"Of course." The auctioneer nodded respectfully. He was some distance from the white area and hadn't heard what the masked youth and Ning Fengzhi, the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, said, but he knew that Ning Fengzhi had given up on raising the price.
This phenomenon indicates that Ning Fengzhi approves of the young man's behavior and has decided not to compete with him.
Either this young man has a very powerful background, so powerful that even Ning Fengzhi wouldn't dare offend him for the sake of a catwoman.
Whatever the reason, this young man's background is certainly not simple.
The other wealthy and powerful people who came to the auction thought the same thing, so they didn't raise the price, and the catwoman was successfully bought by Yu Tianheng.
The auction ended quickly.
Because Yu Tianheng successfully bought the catwoman, the system issued a notification: "Congratulations to the host for successfully saving the catwoman and changing her original fate. You are rewarded with 3,000 Heavenly Mandate Points and the Earth-level cultivation technique ' Startling Swan Sword Art '."
This technique emphasizes speed. When executed, the sword light flashes like a startled swan, cutting through the clouds. The sword moves are sharp and varied, sometimes like a meteor falling to the ground, sometimes like a dragon soaring through the sky. It attacks the opponent with extremely fast speed and tricky angles, and the void explodes wherever the sword energy goes.
Upon learning of this, Yu Tianheng remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he was shocked.
Swordsmanship, that's quite interesting.
It's a pity that I've only practiced spear techniques and haven't studied swordsmanship much. It seems I'll have to find a suitable person to teach me.
The steward then led Yu Tianheng to a room in the auction center, where he paid the fees, and the auction house then handed the auction items to the guest.
Yu Tianheng handed a purple-gold card to the steward, instructing him to deduct the auction expenses.
"Please wait a moment, esteemed guest, the items will be brought shortly." The steward took the gold card from Yu Tianheng, deducted the fee, and then respectfully returned it to Yu Tianheng.
Upon hearing this, Yu Tianheng nodded and sat down on the sofa in the room to wait.
A few moments later, the auction items were delivered one by one.
First, there are three purple Ganoderma lucidum plants, and then there's the ' Crimson Flame Heart ' necklace!
Finally, three burly men pushed a huge iron box into the room where Yu Tianheng was. Inside the iron box was the catwoman that Yu Tianheng had photographed earlier.
She was huddled in the corner of the box, shivering.
The burly man handed the key to the box to Yu Tianheng, then rose to take his leave.
Yu Tianheng picked up the key, unlocked the iron box imprisoning the catwoman, and went inside.
As Yu Tianheng approached, the catwoman remained curled up, looking up at Yu Tianheng with fear in her eyes.
She had no idea what tragic fate awaited her.
The best outcome I could hope for would be to become the plaything of the person in front of me, kept at home like a canary.
That's still good; at least I can survive and have enough to eat and wear. After all, the person who spent so much money to buy me must be a wealthy person with status and influence.
I hope I can be kind to myself!
Yu Tianheng didn't say much. He reached out and untied the chains binding her, then said softly, "Let's go through this iron box first. I have something to ask you."
The catwoman rose unsteadily and walked step by step toward the outside of the iron cage.
Yu Tianheng sat on the sofa, quietly watching her.
When Catwoman stepped out of the box, Yu Tianheng was finally able to see her face up close.
The catwoman had a delicate oval face, skin as white as snow, and a faint blush on her cheeks, like peach blossoms blooming in spring.
Her eyes are unique heterochromatic, one blue and one yellow, like two dazzling gems set in her delicate face, revealing a lively and playful spirit.
She was Linglong yet well-proportioned, with slender limbs that had beautiful lines, exuding a natural elegance in every gesture. Her waist was so soft and slender that it seemed as if a gentle breeze could knock her over, making one feel a sense of pity for her.
Her short, pink hair was neatly trimmed, giving her a playful and cute look. Two pink cat ears peeked out from her hair, twitching occasionally as if sensing her surroundings. A golden bell hung around her neck, making a clear and melodious sound when she moved.
It must be said that she was an extremely beautiful woman; even Yu Tianheng couldn't help but feel a tremor in his heart upon seeing her.
Fortunately, Yu Tianheng remained calm and did not lose his composure too much.
He casually took out a black cloak from his System Inventory and covered the catwoman's Linglong figure, then pointed to the sofa opposite him, gesturing for her to sit down.
Catwoman dared not disobey Yu Tianheng's orders and obediently sat on the sofa that Yu Tianheng pointed to.
"Where are you from? How were you arrested? And where are your family members?" Yu Tianheng asked.
The catwoman answered weakly and tremulously, "I come from a border city not far from the Star Luo Empire."
