God of Pets

Chapter 616 Exposed

Wherever his fingers touched, the stiffness and numbness on his face disappeared.

Feeling refreshed on his face, Simon quickly took out a mirror to look at his face.

Her eyelids were no longer drooping, and her mouth was no longer crooked. She regained her original delicate and charming, yet spirited and handsome appearance.

Simon rubbed his face with his hands, then puffed out his cheeks and twisted his facial features in various ways.

"Alright, really alright." A huge weight was finally lifted off Ximen Bing's shoulders. He thought to himself, "Although this person is despicable, shameless, and hateful, at least he kept his promise."

"Goodbye." Simon Bing said, then turned and left.

If she weren't still thinking about getting her father to deal with Chen Guan, she would have preferred to say goodbye forever.

But this guy tormented her so badly, she just couldn't swallow this insult.

"Are you planning to leave Meicheng?" Chen Guan suddenly asked.

"Otherwise what?" Simon Bing didn't turn around.

"Then you'd better be careful and see if the Divine Martial King is still around," Chen Guan said casually.

"I don't need your reminder. I'll leave during the auction. Shenwu King definitely won't give up the Dragon Blood Grass just to capture me." Ximen Bing said confidently, "You don't know, do you? Shenwu King has awakened his powers multiple times using the blood of a true dragon and the destiny treasure of a true dragon as his foundation. Others take the Dragon Blood Grass for their pets or something, but he uses it for himself to complete his seventh awakening. So he would never risk losing something important for something small."

“That makes sense, but even if the Divine Martial King doesn’t personally come to capture you, do you think you can escape?” Chen Guan said with a smile.

"How can I not escape? I have the Ghost Immortal Step and the Flying Immortal Sword..." At this point, Ximen Bing suddenly froze.

She's been worried about her face these past few days; her mind is completely focused on it.

For her, looks were more important than anything else. Only then did she suddenly realize that her Flying Immortal Sword had fallen into Chen Guan's hands.

"Um... name your price... I want to buy back the Flying Immortal Sword..." Ximen Bing could only swallow his pride once again and try to negotiate with Chen Guan in a gentle and polite manner.

"Not for sale." Chen Guan's words made Ximen Bing so frustrated he felt like vomiting blood.

"But I can give it to you," Chen Guan said, changing the subject.

"You would be so kind?" Simon Bing didn't believe it. He thought Chen Guan was such a good person; he must have some ulterior motive.

"Here's what we'll do: you come with me to the auction and help me bid on two items, then I'll return the Flying Immortal Sword to you," Chen Guan said with a smile.

"Those two things probably don't contain dragon blood grass, do they?" Simon coldly snorted.

"Smart," Chen Guan nodded.

"Don't even dream about it. Where would I get the money to bid on a treasure like Dragon Blood Grass?" Ximen Bing knew this was how it would turn out, and sneered.

“It’s alright, just do what you can afford, and I’ll make up the rest,” Chen Guan said.

“Okay.” Simon Bing readily agreed, thinking, “Anyway, you don’t know how much I have, so I’ll just contribute a little.”

“Besides that, I have one more request,” Chen Guan continued. “In front of outsiders, you have to say that I am your father’s man.”

"What do you want to do? That's absolutely impossible." Ximen Bing was afraid that Chen Guan would use Ximen the Drunkard's name to do something, and then others would blame her father. She would never do such a thing.

"Then I'll say you're my ninth concubine. If you deny it, you can forget about the Flying Immortal Sword." The reason Chen Guan wanted to use Ximen the Drunkard's name was because Jin Taohua's auction was hosted by City Lord Mei Sheng. Ordinary people couldn't get into the auction without an invitation, and Mei Sheng wouldn't send an invitation to an unknown nobody like him.

Only by using Ximen the Drunkard's name could they obtain an invitation to the auction.

Simon Bing finally understood Chen Guan's intentions and sneered, "You just want to get an invitation to the auction, right? Why don't you use your own name?"

"My family has no reputation," Chen Guan thought to himself. If his family's reputation were revealed, they would be torn to pieces.

“I can get you an invitation and take you to the auction, but you can’t talk nonsense anymore, and don’t say anything about nine… concubines…” Ximen Bing was actually a little curious about whether Chen Guan really had eight concubines.

"Deal." Chen Guan readily agreed, as long as the goal could be achieved.

Ximen Bing went out alone and returned after a long time, carrying an invitation in his hand. Chen Guan took a look and found that it was an invitation to the VIP room. In addition to himself, he could bring no more than three people to the auction, which showed that Ximen Bing, the drunkard, still had a lot of prestige here.

However, Chen Guan was somewhat depressed. He participated in the auction because he wanted Jin Taohua to see him and use his appearance to gain some benefits.

If he goes to the VIP room, no one can see him, so what's the point?

"Can we sit in a regular seat here?" Chen Guan asked Ximen Bing.

"This pig has never eaten fine food. Why don't you sit in the VIP seats? Why are you sitting in the regular seats?" Simon Bing said with a sneer.

"Forget it, we'll see when we get there." Chen Guan thought that he would have a chance to show his face when he entered the venue tomorrow. At worst, he could just stand in the venue and Jin Taohua should be able to see him.

But when the two went to the auction the next day, Chen Guan realized he had been a bit naive.

The VIP rooms and the regular seating areas are located in completely separate aisles; they are not connected at all.

However, they encountered the Divine Martial King in the passage. The Divine Martial King gave Chen Guan a cold look, his eyes filled with undisguised killing intent.

Qingya followed Shenwu King like a concubine serving the king.

As Shenwu Wang and Qingya left, Chen Guan suddenly had a thought, because he saw that Qingya's fingers seemed to have made a strange gesture unintentionally.

Chen Guan remembered that the gesture was the first move Qingya used when she fought her last time; it was just that one finger gesture.

After arriving at the private room, Chen Guan used the excuse of going to the restroom to leave the VIP room.

"There's a restroom in here," Simon Bing said, assuming Chen Guan didn't know.

"I prefer a bigger bathroom," Chen Guan said as he walked out of the VIP room and closed the door from the outside.

He really went to the bathroom, because Qingya's seemingly intentional yet unintentional gesture earlier was directed at this bathroom.

The outdoor restrooms are very large, as they are intended for use not only by humans and demons, but also by spirits, so there are many special rooms.

Chen Guan went into the room Qingya pointed to, and after a while, he saw Qingya push the door open and walk in.

"Long time no see. I didn't expect to meet you here. What a coincidence! Should I call you Captain Chen or Commander Zi?" Qingya tidied her hair, tying up her loose strands to reveal her delicate features and jawline.

Chen Guan is now certain that Qingya did recognize him. She recognized not only Chen Guan, but also Zi Donglai who was with Teng Mingli.

Chen Guan came because he wanted to know how Qingya recognized him and what his flaws were. Ordinary people shouldn't be able to recognize him as Zi Donglai.
