How can I have a heart of a demonic god in my body?!-Chapter 422 - 0417 The Auction Begins

Ye Luofeng had already advanced to the Guiyuan Realm, and she seemed even more beautiful now. Her skin was fair as jade cream, and her face was exquisitely flawless, capable of toppling cities and kingdoms.

Many people, upon catching a glimpse of her, found their gazes deeply drawn to her, unable to look away.

Fortunately, now a Guiyuan Realm powerhouse, Ye Luofeng was approached by only a few. The rest could only admire the Ice Mountain Fairy from a distance.

Nearby, a man clad in a luxurious gold and silver robe was staring at Ye Luofeng, taking steps toward her. freēwēbnovel.com

"Good... good, I had not expected to meet such a beauty on this trip!"

The man nodded slightly, his face breaking into a delighted smile.

"Crown Prince, this lady is from the Lingjian Sect, who recently broke through to the Guiyuan Realm."

A servant by his side remarked with a smile.

From a closer look, it was apparent that the servant’s cultivation had reached the Early Innate.

If a person of the Innate Realm was merely a servant, who then was this luxurious man?

"Prince of Yan!"

Many women looked towards the luxurious man, sending him flirtatious glances.

Unlike the other two countries, Yan Country was governed by the Imperial Family and powerful clans, similar to Yun Zhao Country, though it also hosted sects, albeit not prosperously.

Thus, the Crown Prince of Yan was virtually the next sovereign of Yan Country.

And it was rumored that this prince excelled in both letters and arms. Not yet forty, his cultivation had reached Late Innate.

Facing such a man, how many women could remain unmoved?

"I have long heard of Miss Ye from the Lingjian Sect. Seeing you today fulfills a great anticipation of mine, yet you are more beautiful than the rumors suggested."

The Prince of Yan approached Ye Luofeng, every motion displaying imperial grace.

"The Crown Prince is too kind."

Ye Luofeng briefly appraised the Prince of Yan before preparing to leave.

"Miss Ye, at this grand auction of the Three Kingdoms, may I have the honor of accompanying you?"

The Crown Prince was confident, swiftly extending his invitation.

However, as he made his invitation, Ye Luofeng had already walked away. She had heard him but had disregarded it.

Walking a few steps forward, Ye Luofeng approached Chen Yu.

"You have stayed in Qi Country long enough, from now on stay in Chu Country."

Chen Yu spoke calmly then entered the auction hall.

Originally, Chen Yu had agreed to let Ye Luofeng first return to Qi Country for a while, but she had not returned for a year.

The contract between their maids was only for five years; Chen Yu naturally could not waste it.

"Yes."

Ye Luofeng nodded and followed Chen Yu into the auction hall.

"Damn, does such a fairy already have a partner?"

The Prince of Yan immediately frowned, his hands tightening slightly.

"Crown Prince, as far as I know, the two of them are not in that kind of relationship yet."

The servant by his side spoke.

"Oh? If that is the case, then this prince may still have hope."

"She truly is the perfect empress in my heart!"

The Prince of Yan’s expression brightened, and upon looking at the grand auction, a smile appeared, "This auction seems to be a good place to suppress him."

Though Chen Yu and Ye Luofeng had not reached that level of relationship, their association was undoubtedly close.

Only by driving Chen Yu away could the Prince of Yan potentially have a chance with Ye Luofeng.

At the auction, he intended to use his identity as the Crown Prince of Yan and his Primordial Stones to heavily suppress Chen Yu, making him realize his own incompetence and inferiority, prompting him to leave Ye Luofeng willingly.

"Prince, that man is Chen Yu."

The servant reminded.

"Chen Yu?"

The Prince of Yan’s eyes narrowed slightly, pondering for a moment before his expression grew solemn, "The youngest elder of the Alliance?"

He recalled that ten months ago, there had been an achievement that had spread across the Three Kingdoms.

That was when Chen Yu had slain someone from the Guiyuan Realm and became an elder of the Alliance.

The Prince of Yan believed that slaying a Guiyuan Realm cultivator could not be real and perhaps the Three Kingdoms had secretly assisted, helping Chen Yu achieve the kill, aimed at deliberately creating a hero to boost the morale of the Three Kingdoms.

However, Chen Yu’s status as an Alliance elder was somewhat troublesome.

…

As an Alliance elder, Chen Yu had access to a private VIP box.

Additionally, although Ye Luofeng had become a Guiyuan Realm, there had been no grand summit held to grant her the position of an Alliance elder.

But as a Guiyuan Realm cultivator, she too had the right to enter the VIP box.

Led by a female attendant, the three of them entered a spacious box.

The front of the box was completely open.

After all, now the Three Kingdoms Alliance was unified, and internal strife over treasures was strictly prohibited, so concerns about murder for treasure were minimal.

Moreover, the auction venue had been constructed in haste to meet scheduling needs, apart from the VIP area, the seats below were relatively rudimentary, and the entrance fee was exceedingly high, yet at this moment, it was still filled with people.

Chen Yu glanced around and on the other VIP seats saw many familiar faces.

Among them were from Yunyue Sect including Gongyang Mountain Supreme Elder, Elder Mao, and high-ranking elders like Fairy Xia Yu.

Sect Masters of Iron Sword Sect and Water Moon Sect had arrived, as had the protectors of Bone Demon Palace, Guardian Shangguan, and Guardian Wei.

Additionally, several Guiyuan Realm powerhouses had come, including the Supreme Elder of Water Moon Sect, the Master of Bone Demon Palace, Lv Tiezu, and other powerhouses from Yan Country and Purple Cloud Palace.

Lv Tiezu caught sight of Chen Yu, his expression suddenly turning grim.

Chen Yu guessed that many of the Guiyuan Realm knew what items would appear at the auction, so it was sufficient to send trusted individuals to bid on their behalf.

For instance, Elder Duanmu did not come, probably allowing Ye Luofeng to act on his behalf.

"Eh? Miss Ye, I didn’t expect you to be in the adjacent box?"

From the right side, suddenly came the voice of the Prince of Yan.

"Indeed."

Ye Luofeng responded indifferently.

"This prince has long wanted to get acquainted with Miss Ye and Elder Chen. If you all don’t mind, shall we chat together and participate in the auction?"

The Prince of Yan spoke politely.

This time Ye Luofeng did not respond but looked towards Chen Yu.

"If the prince truly wishes to get acquainted with us, then come over."

Chen Yu spoke indifferently.

Actually, at this time, he was not in the mood to chat with strangers, but since the other party was the Prince of Yan, he would give him some face.

However, the Prince of Yan would have to make the effort to come over himself; he and Ye Luofeng would not go there.

On the other side, the Crown Prince of Yan Country felt a bit dissatisfied upon hearing those words, but he still approached Chen Yu and Miss Ye’s private room along with his servant.

"Brother Chen, Miss Ye, I apologize for the disturbance."

As soon as the Crown Prince of Yan Country arrived, he tried to ingratiate himself by switching his address from "Elder Chen" to "Brother Chen."

The group hadn’t even started chatting when the auction already began.

On the brightly gem-lit auction stage stood a spirited old man with long white beard and hair, an elder from the Bone Demon Palace with significant seniority.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am fortunate to preside over an auction for the Three Kingdoms in my lifetime."

His strong and vigorous voice resonated across the hall.

"I will not say much, let us move directly to the auction. The first item, a Top-grade Treasure, ’Green Cloud Spear’: The spearhead is forged from the unique horn of the Cang Mang Rhinoceros, it has extremely strong penetrating power, and the spear shadows are like wind, giving a bonus to those who use wind attribute Cultivation Techniques!"

The first auction item was a Top-grade Treasure, instantly igniting the atmosphere.

In the Three Kingdoms, such treasures are typically used by cultivators in the later stages of the Mid-stage Hua Qi Realm.

"The starting bid is three thousand low-grade Primordial Stones, with each increase no less than two hundred low-grade Primordial Stones."

Low-level auctions are usually conducted with lower-quality Primordial Stones, but this higher-level auction uses low-grade Primordial Stones.

Additionally, the Three Kingdoms decreed that Battle Merit Points could also be exchanged for low-grade Primordial Stones at a certain ratio.

As soon as the words fell,

"Three thousand two hundred low-grade Primordial Stones!"

"Three thousand six hundred low-grade Primordial Stones!"

…

"Four thousand six!"

The price of the ’Green Cloud Spear’ soared continuously.

Especially some cultivators who practiced wind attribute Cultivation Techniques greatly valued it.

In no time, the price of the ’Green Cloud Spear’ reached six thousand low-grade Primordial Stones.

However, it wasn’t over yet.

Ultimately, the spear was bought by a disciple from the Purple Cloud Palace for six thousand and eight hundred.

"Not bad," Chen Yu nodded.

The ’Green Cloud Spear’ was indeed one of the items he had commissioned.

The prices between the Three Kingdoms and Yun Zhao Country were different; if it were in Yun Zhao Country, the price of this ’Green Cloud Spear’ would be at least a thousand or two thousand low-grade Primordial Stones higher.

"Miss Ye, upon our first meeting, if you take a fancy to any item next, I will bid and gift it to you," the Crown Prince of Yan Country declared with a generous smile.

This reason made it hard for others to refuse; once someone accepted his favor, it would be awkward for Miss Ye to ignore him from then on.

In the next few rounds, neither Chen Yu nor Miss Ye made a move.

Instead, the Crown Prince of Yan Country aggressively bought a precious ore.

"The next item up for auction is a five-hundred-year-old Blood Heart Grass; this grass is a rare herb used in the concoction of various Detoxification Pills and Blood Path Elixirs. The starting bid is one thousand low-grade Primordial Stones, with each increment no less than one hundred Primordial Stones."

Chen Yu’s eyes immediately brightened—this Blood Heart Grass was one of the rare materials needed by the Red Flame King.

Although this material wasn’t highly valued, it was quite scarce.

"One thousand two."

"One thousand three."

…

Soon, the price soared to two thousand.

"Two thousand five!" Chen Yu abruptly added five hundred.

The prices in Yun Zhao Country were much higher than in the Three Kingdoms; back when he was in Yun Zhao Country, he had accumulated a huge amount of Primordial Stones, making him quite wealthy now.

The Crown Prince of Yan Country glanced at Chen Yu and thought to himself that this youngster was rather lavish in his bidding, adding five hundred at a time.

"Two thousand six," announced an Alchemist.

"Three thousand!" Chen Yu added another four hundred, making it clear to everyone that he was determined to have this item.

Seeing Chen Yu’s current status, many withdrew from the bidding.

"Three thousand two hundred Primordial Stones!" came a voice from not far away; Lv Tiezu spoke with a light chuckle.

Seeing this scene, the Crown Prince of Yan Country inwardly smiled; he had learned from his servant that there was a significant grudge between Lv Tiezu and Chen Yu.

"Three thousand five," Chen Yu said flatly.

"Three thousand six," Lv Tiezu spoke again.

Being a pinnacle early Guiyuan Realm Supreme Elder, he had plenty of Primordial Stones.

Now, he just wanted to embarrass Chen Yu.

"Four thousand," Chen Yu continued to bid.

Many were astonished, this single Blood Heart Grass had been driven to such a high price.

"It seems Lv Tiezu is deliberately making it difficult for Chen Yu; looks like Chen Yu might have a hard time winning this time."

"Chen Yu is still too young, having just become an elder, he definitely can’t compete with Lv Tiezu in terms of Primordial Stones."

After a while, the price of the Blood Heart Grass reached six thousand, comparable to a High Grade Treasure.

"Is this youngster still not giving up?" Lv Tiezu felt a sinking feeling.

The current price was getting a bit too high.

If he continued to compete and Chen Yu suddenly stopped, he would suffer a large loss.

There were still items he needed at this auction; he couldn’t afford to waste too much on something pointless.

"Since Elder Chen needs this rare material so much, this elder will painfully part with it," Lv Tiezu smirked and declared, deliberately provoking Chen Yu.

Eventually, the Blood Heart Grass was bought by Chen Yu for six thousand low-grade Primordial Stones.

"Then I must thank Elder Lu for his consideration. If Elder Lu needs anything later on, I might also give a little consideration," Chen Yu’s voice carried a chilling tone.

"Chen Yu seems dissatisfied; this is a challenge to Lv Tiezu!"

"There’s going to be a good show."
