Fighting Soul Clan Demoness

Chapter 892 What others have, you should have too! (3k!)
After a while.

"Finally, we escaped."

Xiao Yan, who had dragged the girl all the way to the trade fair, finally breathed a sigh of relief, supporting himself on his knees and panting heavily.

He swore that this was absolutely the most exhausted he had ever been.

Even when he sparred with Hei Qing and was struck by the Black Demon Lightning in the Void Lightning Pool, it was nothing compared to the agony he just experienced.

"It's only been a short time since we last met, and Little Fairy Doctor has actually gotten together with Queen Medusa. It seems they've even found common ground. That's really strange."

Xiao Yan sighed, completely baffled.

Although the three Little Fairy Doctors are all exceptionally beautiful, their identities, personalities, and strengths are completely unrelated. Logically speaking, they shouldn't have any interaction at all.

But they still ended up together.

What is the picture?

"Who can really predict a woman's personality?" Hun Ruoruo snorted coldly, stomping her boots even harder.

"Perhaps." Xiao Yan shook his head with a wry smile. "However, no matter what, Queen Medusa's ideas are still too crazy. How could a human woman be so unrestrained?"

Upon hearing this, Hun Ruoruo froze for a moment, but quickly covered it up again.

"I'm leaving. If I leave, those women who love to watch the drama will catch up with me again. I'm too lazy to keep playing their nonsense."

"Hey, wait for me! Your senior brother is at least a patient now!"

Looking at the girl's back, which seemed inexplicably sullen, Xiao Yan was puzzled. He didn't care about anything else and quickly followed after her.

The two came to the Space Trade Fair not only to obtain the fragments of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame map, but more importantly, to search for resources and combat techniques.

Of course, the users of these fighting techniques could not be Xiao Yan or Hun Ruoruo, but the Xiao family, which is now in dire need of rebuilding.

When the Xiao clan declined, the Soul clan, as the culprit, did not actually gain any benefit whatsoever. The resources and land belonging to the Xiao clan basically went into the pockets of other clans.

It seemed to be an ancient clan, so they readily accepted most of the cultivation techniques and shared them with the Xiao clan itself, claiming it was to continue the Xiao clan's lineage.

However, as we all know, the result was as expected.

They won't even give up a spot in the Heavenly Tomb, let alone cultivation techniques and resources—that's just wishful thinking.

Everything has to start from scratch.

The streets were filled with bluestone platforms, on which floated scrolls, jade bottles, and even treasures such as weapons and magic cores. Behind each platform, many figures sat cross-legged.

Judging from their aura, even the lowest-ranking person among them possesses the cultivation of a five-star Dou Zun.

"Earth Demon Leg, a high-level Earth-rank combat skill!"

"Tai Xuan Jue, a mid-level Earth-rank cultivation technique!"

"Transformation Pill, a high-grade seventh-rank pill!"

"Ten Thousand Year Blood Spirit Ginseng"

As shouts rose and fell across the field, passersby gradually came to see a very peculiar sight.

A pale-faced young man, carrying several bags and holding a few scrolls of martial arts techniques under his arm, walked down the road with a fawning expression.

In front of him was a stunningly beautiful woman, happily licking a string of candied hawthorns. When she saw a treasure, she swiped her card smoothly and then tossed it behind her.

This perfectly coordinated scene left many people speechless, causing them to stop what they were doing.

Young man, you've already hooked up with a rich woman at such a young age?

"Hiss—Wife, that's the Soul Palace Auction House's latest tactical card, number 5090!"

A couple walked by, and the man stared at the card Xiao Yan was holding in his mouth. He couldn't take his eyes off it and said excitedly, "It's said that as long as you imprint the fighting technique inside, you can watch the battle scene in real time and master the fighting technique to the greatest extent without having to fight to the death!"

However, the woman in the fiery skirt beside him only glanced at it before looking away: "It's just a tactical card that replicates a fighting technique. You can just use the old one. What's so special about it?"

“That guy is just a pale-faced, weak-blooded pretty boy. If he has it, why can’t I?” the man said indignantly.

The woman sneered, "He's just weak and bloodless, but that girl's complexion is so tender it's like water is seeping out. If you could make me look like that, I'd sell you ten, let alone one."

The man's face turned pale and then red, and he immediately fell silent.

Hun Ruoruo looked around and listened carefully, tilted her head, and said with some worry, "Is that what a man's married life is supposed to be like?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan's lips twitched, wishing he could immediately drop everything and fight that man.

If it was truly because nourishing Hun Ruoruo caused her qi and blood deficiency, then he could barely tolerate it.

The problem is, it's never even happened once!

He didn't even have a chance to show his skills, so why do you assume he has weak blood and qi?

Fortunately, Hun Ruoruo did not continue to ask questions, but quickly ran to another vendor and started arguing with others about prices.

"Soul-Replenishing Qi Pill, Six-Colored Pill Thunder, 70 Million Gold Coins, No Bargaining."

The old Dou Zun, shrouded in black cloth and exuding an icy aura, spoke in a hoarse voice. However, just as Hun Ruoruo was about to pay, a delicate voice suddenly interrupted her—

"Wait a minute."

She raised her head, revealing a pair of colorful phoenix eyes, and said with a half-smile, "I offer eighty million gold coins. I wonder if the old gentleman would be willing to part with this bottle of pills?"

"The Heavenly Phoenix Clan?"

Upon seeing this, Xiao Yan's eyes narrowed instantly, and even the people around him couldn't help but show a hint of apprehension. They never expected that even members of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan would be attracted to this spatial trading fair.

"This pill of mine was made by Grandmaster Xuanyi, one of the three giants of the Pill Tower."

The old man, whose body was filled with icy battle aura, had a glint of light in his eyes and said indifferently, "If you want it, the highest bidder shall have it."

"Ninety million."

Hun Ruoruo didn't even turn her head, and just reached straight for the jade bottle.

The elegant woman smiled slightly and continued casually, "One hundred million gold coins."

One hundred million gold coins!
Upon hearing this astronomical figure, everyone in the room froze, their faces filled with astonishment.

You should know that in some lower-end auction houses, this price would almost be the starting price of a Heaven-rank combat skill, but the other party only used it to buy a bottle of Six-Colored Thunder Pill. What kind of extravagance is this?

As expected, upon hearing the number, Hun Ruoruo frowned and stopped bidding.

"You know me?" Her eyes turned slightly cold.

The woman did not respond, but turned to the frost-covered old man beside her and said with a smile, "Old sir, the highest bidder wins. Shouldn't we announce the ownership of this elixir?"

"It's yours now." The old man grabbed the card the woman handed him and said no more.

Seeing this, the noble woman with phoenix eyes smiled slightly, casually picked up the jade bottle placed on the stone platform, waved it in front of Hun Ruoruo from above, and then put it into her bag.

"you!"

Xiao Yan's eyes turned cold, and he was about to attack despite his injuries, but Hun Ruoruo stopped him with a look.

"Lord Jiufeng is very interested in you."

She revealed a playful expression, then lowered her voice and said softly, "Consider this treasure hunt as a lesson for you. The feud between your Soul Palace and my Heavenly Phoenix Clan will soon be settled."

With that, she curled her lips slightly, like a proud peacock spreading its wings and flying away from the field.

"Joruo!"

The woman's appearance was brief; once she disappeared, Xiao Yan caught up, his expression uncertain: "So, the scheme to kill that half-saint of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan was ultimately exposed?"

"Tch," Hun Ruoruo shook her head. "The Phoenix Clan isn't completely stupid. It's already a pleasant surprise that Hun Miesheng was able to extract some value from that half-saint."

Seeing that Ruoruo seemed indifferent, Xiao Yan felt a little uncomfortable. After hesitating for a moment, he took the initiative to say, "Ruoruo, if you want that pill from before, I can refine it for you once my injuries have healed."

"Senior brother, are you stupid? Those pills were meant to replenish your qi and blood, why would I need them?"

Upon hearing this, Hun Ruoruo chuckled, then tapped the table and said to the masked old man in the stone platform, "Don't just stand there, hurry up and take it out."

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Yan saw that the masked, icy old man had reached into the counter somewhat furtively and somehow pulled out another bottle of pills that were exactly the same as the one before!

"this--"

Xiao Yan was dumbfounded, speechless, and said, "Isn't this pill supposed to be made by the Xuan Yi Ancestor, and there's only one bottle of it?!"

That old man is a complete swindler!

"Hehe, kid, I did say there was only one bottle, but I didn't say there couldn't be more."

The icy old man smiled sinisterly, no longer hiding his face. The mask on his face was immediately torn off, revealing an extremely familiar face.

Ice Emperor, Hai Bodong!

No, that's not right. Now, he should perhaps be called the Ice Lord!

"Hai, Ebi?!"

Hai Bodong coughed lightly and said in a low voice, "Don't call me by my real name. Although I have become the manager of this Treasure Appraisal Mountain, all the funds were provided by Ruoruo. To put it bluntly, I am just a working-class person, just like that girl in red."

Looking at the old man he hadn't seen in a long time, Xiao Yan's expression became incredibly interesting. Then, as if realizing something, he suddenly turned around and said with a wry smile, "So the reason you didn't fight her for him earlier was because you already recognized Elder Hai?"

"That foolish woman, knowing full well that the Space Trading Association is under the jurisdiction of my Soul Palace, still insisted on sending me money. How could I refuse such a good thing?"

Hun Ruoruo covered her mouth and chuckled, casually putting the crystal card containing one hundred million gold coins into her pocket. Then she picked up the jade bottle next to her and handed it to Xiao Yan.

"Here, everyone who sees this gets a share."

In the sunlight, the girl's eyes blinked, and she smiled mischievously.

"You should have what others have too."
