Chapter 308: Chapter 305 Dragon Scale Fruit"Four hundred thousand." Just when the bidding had almost come to a standstill, Ye Xuan’s voice suddenly spread throughout the auction house. "Ye Xuan, you..." The Honglian Envoy looked at Ye Xuan with some confusion, not understanding why he would want to bid on this slave girl. She knew that Ye Xuan should not be that kind of person. "I happen to need a maid to clean and cook back at my place, and this woman seems suitable for the job." Ye Xuan simply smiled indifferently, but in reality, he had discovered something new about the slave girl. From her, he could sense an extremely obscure fluctuation of soul power; such fluctuations could only be felt by someone whose soul power had reached the Xuan Realm or higher. Ordinary people wouldn’t have the slightest awareness of it. Even he couldn’t discern the whole truth, so perhaps the slave girl wasn’t as simple as the golden-robed elder had described. That was also why Ye Xuan was willing to pay a high price to win her. As soon as the price of four hundred thousand Xuanyuan Pills was offered, many eyes gathered on Ye Xuan. Spending so much on a female slave was indeed considered lavish. At that moment, Yu Yi, who was sitting in another private seat, turned her head when she heard the familiar voice. However, when she saw that the person who had made the bid was Ye Xuan, her pretty face suddenly turned gloomy. "Just look, I told you this man’s character is despicable, a lascivious scoundrel. Spending four hundred thousand on a Human Clan female slave, tsk tsk, what a bold move." Young Master Blood Python also glanced at Ye Xuan, then sneered coldly. "That’s right, Yu Yi, why should you let such a man affect your mood? Don’t worry, once the auction ends, I will definitely kill him and avenge you." Young Master Hu’s eyes flashed with murderous intent as he stared at Ye Xuan, his entire body emitting an aggressive energy. "Four hundred and fifty thousand." Ignoring the harsh words from those two, Yu Yi withdrew her gaze from Ye Xuan and said coldly. "It’s Yu Yi." The Honglian Envoy also saw Yu Yi making the bid, her expression somewhat surprised, but then it seemed she understood. Ye Xuan wanted to buy a female slave, and Yu Yi was probably jealous. It made sense. "What does this woman want to do? Could it be that she has noticed something too?" Ye Xuan’s gaze flickered slightly. He and the Honglian Envoy had different thoughts. After all, in Ye Xuan’s view, there was absolutely no relationship between him and Yu Yi, so how could she be jealous? It was already a blessing for him that she wasn’t clamoring for his life. "Five hundred thousand." Frowning slightly, Ye Xuan continued to raise the bid. Whoa! The entire auction house erupted into a commotion, boiling over as if shocked—five hundred thousand Xuanyuan Pills could buy a hundred female slaves. This kid was really squandering his wealth. "This bastard, he’s definitely a thorough pervert." Yu Yi’s face turned cold, convinced in her mind that Ye Xuan wanted the female slave to satisfy his own desires. Just thinking about it made her stamp her foot in anger. "Yu Yi, if you want that female slave, there’s no need to bid. After we leave the auction house, I’ll seize her from that kid for you," Young Master Hu said with a grin, but a cold gleam quickly flashed through his eyes. Hearing this, Yu Yi was slightly taken aback, then nodded. She couldn’t let Ye Xuan’s despicable intentions succeed. It would be best to let Young Master Hu make a move so that he could properly punish the kid and teach him a lesson about offending her. Yu Yi didn’t continue to compete with Ye Xuan. The slave girl was eventually sold to Ye Xuan for five hundred thousand Xuanyuan Pills. Many people looked at Ye Xuan with a somewhat playful expression, thinking him a spendthrift and a profligate son for buying such a useless item. "Is it really worth it to spend five hundred thousand Xuanyuan Pills on a female slave?" The Honglian Envoy also looked at Ye Xuan, puzzled. According to him, if he was simply buying her to serve as a maid, the extravagant price seemed unimaginable. "I’m not certain either, but it should be worth it, I suppose." Ye Xuan himself did not understand what secret the woman possessed, but with his intuition, he felt that this transaction wouldn’t be a loss. Even if the girl was nothing extraordinary, he could just consider it a good deed. Making money was not difficult for someone like Ye Xuan with his means. The auction of the Human Clan female slave was not particularly precious among the many dazzling auction items. After Ye Xuan made his purchase, the crowd’s attention returned to the auction. Subsequently, the prices of one auction item after another climbed ever higher, with a scroll of Heavenly Grade Top Stage Martial Arts fetching a high price of eight hundred thousand Xuanyuan Pills. As the auction progressed, the number of participants dwindled. "Ladies and gentlemen, next up for auction are two sets of Dragon Scale Fruits, with a starting bid of one hundred thousand Xuanyuan Pills each," declared the golden-robed elder on the auction stage, mopping his sweat. Then, at his signal, two maids presented the items, each holding a tray with five oddly shaped fruits upon it. The fruits, covered in wrinkles resembling dragon scales, were on display. "Here it comes..." In the moment when the Dragon Scale Fruit appeared, Ye Xuan’s eyes lit up. His cultivation of the Dragon Essence Palm needed exactly this kind of heavenly and earthly treasures that strengthened the body, and the Dragon Scale Fruit was undoubtedly one of them. The Dragon Scale Fruit was always rare, and he didn’t expect to encounter it at this auction. "Young Master Hu, this Dragon Scale Fruit is a heavenly material and earthly treasure that fortifies the body and enhances strength. Surely you’re not uninterested?" Young Master Blood Python glanced toward Xiang Shao, his face donning a smile. "How could I not be interested? I shall bid for both sets of the Dragon Scale Fruit and see who dares to compete with me." Young Master Hu displayed a determination to win. "Who would dare to compete with Young Master Hu? Isn’t that a death wish?" A barely detectable coldness flashed in Young Master Blood Python’s eyes, yet his face remained affably smiling. "Indeed, with Young Master Hu’s reputation, who wouldn’t know? I believe no fool would overestimate their strength, and even if there is someone, I’m afraid they couldn’t even get out of Sky Demon City with Young Master Hu’s possessions." "Exactly, exactly." The powerful experts of the Demon Clan surrounding Young Master Hu echoed his sentiments. Hearing these sycophantic words, a smug look appeared on Young Master Hu’s face. It wasn’t that he was overconfident; apart from a few people from Sky Demon Mountain, everyone else was but ants in his eyes. Moreover, his father was Hu Venerate, one of the seven Supreme Demons of Sky Demon Mountain, with overwhelming power and influence. No one would dare cross him. The Dragon Scale Fruit was a hot auction item, and most strong warriors of the Demon Clan focused on physical cultivation. Hence, as soon as the fruit appeared, its price was quickly raised to five hundred thousand. After that, the bidding became sparse. "Six hundred thousand." Noting that the only competitors left were a few in the elegant seats, Young Master Hu placed his bid. His voice’s fall drew gazes all laden with a hint of awe. Those originally planning to increase their bid weighed their options and withdrew from the competition. "Six hundred and fifty thousand." Just when everyone thought no one would dare to bid higher, a voice rang out. The one raising the bid was Zhou Ying from Green Lake Island, the Green Dragon Prince. "Seven hundred thousand." Young Master Hu’s eyes turned somewhat icy. After he called out his bid, he stood up from his seat and stared at Zhou Ying with an extremely aggressive gaze. That look was laden with a strong warning. "Crown Prince, let it be." Seeing Zhou Ying’s expression darken as if he intended to continue bidding, Bi Rou quickly advised him. She feared that if Zhou Ying, in a moment of recklessness, truly offended Young Master Hu, then not only could they forget about dealing with Ye Xuan, but their own safety would also be in jeopardy. "Alright." After hesitating for a moment, Zhou Ying suppressed his aggravation. He knew that while his strength might not necessarily be weaker than Young Master Hu’s, the latter had the backing of Sky Demon Mountain, and it appeared he had several powerful helpers with him. Offending the opponent here would indeed be unwise. For now, he would swallow this moment of frustration. "He knows his place." Seeing that Zhou Ying stopped raising the bid, Young Master Hu finally grinned and lazily withdrew his gaze. If the young man hadn’t known better, he wouldn’t have minded teaching him a lesson after the auction ended. "Seven hundred thousand, any higher bids?" The gold-robed elder gave a wry smile. Ordinarily, this batch of Dragon Scale Fruit should have fetched a much higher price. However, with Young Master Hu’s involvement, it was a different matter. Such incidents weren’t uncommon at Black Market auctions. "Old man, hurry up and declare it sold. What are you dawdling for?" Young Master Hu said, showing his impatience. The gold-robed elder, left with no choice, sighed and was about to announce the sale. However, at that moment, a voice suddenly erupted in the hall, "Eight hundred thousand." The three words, "eight hundred thousand," spread through the auction hall like a devilish tune, and for a moment, the entire venue fell nearly silent. They weren’t surprised by the price itself, but that someone had brushed off Young Master Hu’s threat like nothing and continued to bid. "It’s that kid. He’s really courting death." When Zhou Ying saw who had made the bid, he couldn’t help but be astonished and then a scornful smile surfaced on his face. Even he didn’t dare to confront Young Master Hu, yet this ignorant kid dared to do so. Soon enough, he probably wouldn’t know how he died; it wasn’t necessary for him to take action—Ye Xuan would die a miserable death. At the same time, almost everyone’s gaze turned towards Ye Xuan, and many shook their heads secretly. It was good for a young person to have courage, but one must consider the consequences. Young Master Hu was no ordinary person, and Ye Xuan, merely a Third Grade Demon King, truly seemed impatient with life. Among everyone present, only Yu Yi was not at all surprised. She was well aware of Ye Xuan’s strength; even for Young Master Hu, forcing Ye Xuan into submission would not be a simple task.
