Immortal Cultivation and Life-Saving Guide

Now it was Wei Xi's turn to realize that Li Chun had specifically written to invite her to the Chongxiao Night Party.

So, does this mean that Li Chun, that plague god, is very likely also in Chongxiao City?

It's obvious from his behavior that he was attending the Chongxiao Night Party.

Wei Xi felt a subtle sense of unease; she now felt that coming to Chongxiao City was a mistake.

However, since things had already come to this point, Wei Xi could only make the best of a bad situation, especially since there were indeed useful materials here.

Let me repeat myself: Wei Xi will never be stingy with spirit stones if it can be used to solve a problem.

Years of social experience enabled Yun Qing to make the right choice. "I just looked around and thought Shang Yu was going to start fooling people. I almost forgot about this! Let me save you a spot."

The waiter offered a few more compliments before leaving the private room.

Yun Qing's gaze fell on Wei Xi, and she said sincerely, "If you don't want to go to the party, I can cancel with that guy."

Wei Xi nodded slightly and replied, "If all goes well, you will be able to leave Chongxiao City tomorrow."

“Leaving Chongxiao City is the condition for helping you infiltrate the auction,” Yun Qing’s voice trembled, but her gaze was unwavering. “I know you also want revenge and to help me rise to power. Your enemy is my enemy.”

Wei Xi didn't show it on his face, but he was quite surprised in his heart: he didn't expect Yun Qing to actually wake up at the critical moment.

However, at a time like this, how could Wei Xi let Yun Qing lead him by the nose?
Therefore, Wei Xi said with a forced smile, "Every deal has a price, and besides, how can you gain a foothold in the Yun family?"

“Since we’re starting to talk business, I’m not afraid to be blunt,” Wei Xi’s gaze was like a knife, mercilessly scraping against Yun Qing. “You don’t have any bargaining chips to offer right now, and you’re only standing here because of the Yun family. How dare you try to bargain with me with such confidence?”

Yun Qing's face beneath the mask turned deathly pale instantly, clearly indicating that her self-esteem had been severely damaged, and her lips trembled uncontrollably.

An eerie silence fell over the room. Qin Feng didn't know whether to stand or sit, so he grabbed the rabbit's ears and pretended he didn't exist.

Wei Xi sneered – she didn't mean to make things difficult for Yun Qing, but simply to let her know who was in charge.

Judging from the current situation, Yun Qing's performance can barely be considered passable; otherwise, Wei Xi wouldn't even bother to give her a perfunctory response.

“…I…” Yun Qing swallowed her words, paused, and continued, “The Yun family wields great power; you need someone familiar with the inside story to help you…”

Seeing Wei Xi's increasingly exaggerated sneer, Yun Qing changed her tune, saying, "You think I'm untrustworthy? They killed the love of my life! They made my unborn child lose its father before it was even born!"

"I was in the wrong! But even tigers don't eat their cubs! Why won't you let me go?"

"Wei Xi, don't worry, I will show no mercy! After this is done, I will give you 30% of the profits from the Yun family's business!"

When people are speechless to the extreme, they really want to laugh. Seeing that there are still important matters to be dealt with, Wei Xi simply replied, "Words are no proof! After this matter is over, I will send you out of the city and give you some travel expenses... As for other matters, we'll talk about them when you have more leverage!"

Although Yun Qing was a blockhead and couldn't grasp the main issue, Wei Xi was no fool: the Yun family was just a pretext. Although a minor punishment was necessary, the target of the flames of revenge was clearly Li Changxu!

Wei Xi was certain that the appearance of Yun Qing, heavily pregnant, in Ju City would be enough to give the Yun family a run for their money.

At best, it's using the Yun family's strength to cause trouble for that old scoundrel Li Changxu.

Wei Xi was naturally suspicious, but he couldn't bring himself to doubt the confused Yun Qing at this moment.

It can only be said that every creature has its nemesis. Such accomplices who are easily swayed by emotions must be dealt with severely, lest they suffer losses instead of achieving their goal.

After a long while, Yun Qing's suppressed sobs reached the ears of the three, and ripples of sorrow slowly spread from her. Qin Feng, who had a soft heart, wanted to go forward to comfort her, but was kicked twice by Lian Gou'an, who was in the form of a rabbit, so he had no choice but to look away and pretend not to hear.

Wei Xi remained unmoved; the crying had no effect on her emotions whatsoever, like a gentle breeze sweeping across a hillside with almost no impact.

"...I really have no other choice...Before I eloped, I was the heir of the Yun family...Perhaps there are still people in my family who support me!" Yun Qing hesitantly reached out her hand, trying to awaken the little sympathy Wei had left.

Wei Xi said coldly, "You know what kind of people the Yun family are. If you go back, you probably won't have an easy time either. Instead of being sad right now, you should think about what to do in the future, so that you three don't meet in the afterlife."

"Wei Xi!" Qin Feng finally couldn't hold back any longer. She put down the rabbit in her hand and said slowly, "Be careful, the walls may be listening."

Qin Feng was really afraid that Yun Qing would be too upset and go into premature labor, so he offered her a way out, saying, "You can't get fat in one bite. Let's go back to the Yun family first and then discuss other things."

Anyone who is frequently angry knows that maintaining anger is extremely physically demanding.

As her strength waned, exhaustion and weakness overwhelmed Yun Qing, and she slumped onto the couch, panting heavily.

This scene is undeniably pitiful, and even smacks of bullying the weak.

Unfortunately, the grudges between them were deeply etched into the hearts of the two young people, intertwined with a bloody entanglement.

Just before the auction was about to begin, Yun Qing suddenly looked up and said in a hoarse voice, "...Do you think I can raise this child in the Yun family?"

"The Yun family has announced your death in front of the entire sect," Wei Xi's gaze fell on the bustling hall below, "Have you thought it through?"

Yun Qing gave a bitter smile, "At this point, if I still don't understand, I'm doomed. Tell me, what do you want in exchange for helping me take the position?"

Finally hearing the answer she wanted, Wei Xi smiled gently and said softly, "You want revenge on the Yun family even more than I do. What I really want is for the Yun family to use all their strength to oppose Li Changxu! To make him unable to sleep at night and unable to eat!"

"To die without a burial place," Wei Xi added in her heart. She would do this herself to make up for the two years of suffering in Yin Yang Slope!
After a moment's thought, Yun Qing decisively said, "I can agree to Li Changxu's request!"

Wei Xi took out the Blood Oath—a contract with added spells—that he had prepared for a long time from his Qiankun bag, calmly wrote down the contents of the agreement between the two parties, and handed it to Yun Qing for confirmation.

Without blinking, Yun Qing bit her finger and signed her name on it.

The thick paper, still smelling of blood, returned to Wei Xi's hands. She used a dagger to cut open her index finger and signed the agreement.

The blood on the "Blood Oath" did not seep into the paper; instead, it meandered into two blood lines, slowly wrapping around the words. Then, a ball of flame rose up, burning the thick paper to ashes.

The agreement was firmly etched in the minds of both parties, and if either party breached it, they would suffer excruciating pain in their heart for forty-nine days.

The effectiveness of such an agreement is neither strong nor weak; its main purpose is to express the sincerity of both parties.

With the agreement reached, the auction began as scheduled.

Five water mirrors appeared simultaneously in the room. Leaving aside the two items that Yun Qing casually added for the performance, the remaining three items each had their own unique selling price.

The first thing to be settled was the human skin that Lian Gou Lang had been longing for. There were only three bidders, and he actually managed to get it.
Next up was the 'Eternal Gold' that Wei Xi had her eye on, but her bid was only three-fifths of the highest price, and she unfortunately lost out on the material.
Finally, there was the Heartfire. Because Chongxiao City was rich in demonic beasts, its price was acceptable, and Wei Xi barely managed to get the liver part with his bid.

Wei Xi clutched his Qiankun bag with a bitter expression, once again realizing his poverty.
