The crazy uncle-master went on a killing spree, and the whole sect was burned to death!

Chapter 563 The Peacock Finds Trouble
However, when Liu Lanyi opened the door, she was greeted by the Peacock Clan.

Song Wanning frowned, somewhat puzzled by the other party's intentions.

Liu Lanyi's expression was equally inscrutable, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes as she looked at the demon cultivator.

"Our young lady sent me to say that our Peacock Clan can accept you as members."

"But you must remember, just because the young lady favors you doesn't mean you can do whatever you want, and don't take her favor for granted!"

The demon cultivator ignored the two's expressions and launched into a lecture, praising the Peacock Clan as incredibly powerful and repeatedly emphasizing how honored Song Wanning and her companion were to be chosen.

At first, Song Wanning and Liu Lanyi didn't understand what was going on, but after hearing the rest, they realized the other party's purpose, and their expressions instantly turned ugly.

Who gave them the audacity to come here and spout such nonsense?
Song Wanning didn't tolerate his rambling and directly interrupted him.

"We are not interested in the peacock clan, so don't disturb our participation in the auction."

We don't have time to listen to your nonsense!

With that, she waved her hand, and the door slammed shut the next second, shutting the demon cultivator out.

"Bam—"

The trembling sound of the gate closing still echoed in his ears. The demon cultivator stared at the gate in disbelief, momentarily stunned.

After realizing what had happened, the demon cultivator's face turned extremely gloomy, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent.

"Good good!"

His chest heaved with rage. How dare two mere Nascent Soul stage demon cultivators treat him like this? Utterly arrogant!
A cold gaze swept across the door, and a murderous intent arose in the demon cultivator's heart. He was already angry, and now he felt a lump in his throat, unable to let go of it.

So when he returned, he began to distort the truth and slander Song Wanning and the other woman in front of Hua Kongque.

"Young Miss, those two are incredibly arrogant. They said our Peacock Clan isn't worthy of them. They don't have time to waste on me!!!"

"I've never seen such an arrogant person in my entire life, it's simply outrageous!"

"It's one thing to insult me, but how can you look down on our Peacock Clan?"

The demon cultivator looked heartbroken, but in his heart he was thinking of those two ungrateful women, and that they should prepare to die!

Sure enough, the peacock's face turned extremely ugly upon hearing this.

The peacock clan was her source of confidence and her capital to show off. Now that someone dared to insult the peacock clan like this, especially two unknown girls, how could she tolerate it?
"Ah."

The peacock laughed in anger. How could they be so ungrateful? They really dared to be so disrespectful.

"I kindly let them join the Peacock Clan because they had a skill, but I didn't expect them to be so ungrateful."

She narrowed her eyes and said nothing more, but everyone around her knew that, given the young lady's personality, she would definitely not let this go.

At this point, the auction began.

The auctions held by the demon race are somewhat different from those held by the human race.

Most of the items they auctioned were precious spiritual or demonic objects that could be directly absorbed.

There are almost no magical artifacts, because most demons don't like to use them. They are more skilled in powerful physical combat and the use of their innate supernatural abilities.

The first item up for auction was a monk fruit plant.

Legend has it that monk fruit can cleanse the marrow and remove inner demons.

This is a very important item for demon cultivators to condense their Dharma forms, and it is always snatched up whenever it appears.

Therefore, as soon as monk fruit was introduced to the market, everyone started bidding fiercely.

Song Wanning was also very interested in monk fruit, simply because it was an excellent medicinal ingredient for alchemy and could be used in the production of elixirs.

Moreover, they are rarely seen in the Southern and Eastern Regions.

So she joined the bidding.

However, her actions were immediately discovered by the Peacock Clan.

"They want to photograph monk fruit!"

Someone from the Peacock Clan spoke up, and the next moment, Flower Peacock raised her paddle and joined the bidding. With the Peacock Clan's power, they certainly didn't lack Arhat Fruit, but Flower Peacock disliked Song Wanning and didn't want her to get what she wanted.

When the peacock made its move, the hall fell silent for a moment, as if no one had expected the peacock clan to bid on something like this.

But no one wanted to offend the peacock, so soon no one continued to bid.

"It's them..."

Liu Lanyi also noticed the peacock clan, and her brows furrowed slightly.

The peacock clan took a liking to them and wanted them to join, but the way they invited them was really displeasing.

Therefore, she had no good feelings towards the peacock clan, and even felt some aversion and disgust.

Song Wanning glanced at the private room opposite and immediately raised her sign.

She's making a decision.

Do the peacock clan truly need the monk fruit, or are they simply struggling with themselves?

As soon as she raised her paddle, the other side immediately made another bid.

At this point, Song Wanning had a guess in her mind, and a playful smile appeared on her face.

Is this targeting them?

Ha, there's no shortage of these dimwits wherever you go.

Some second-generation rich kids, in particular, always like to bully others and rely on their connections; they are truly despicable.

But since the other party had gone to such lengths, Song Wanning, who wasn't one to have a good temper, naturally wouldn't let them have an easy time.

So she started bidding against the other party.

As if they had planned it beforehand, the two private rooms went back and forth, quickly raising the price until it exceeded the actual value of the monk fruit.

But the price increases continued.

At this point, everyone could see that there was a grudge between the two sides, and they all admired Song Wanning's choice of a private room.

This is a direct confrontation with the peacock clan!

The auction house quickly noticed the situation and promptly reported it to its owner.

The owner didn't pay much attention when he found out. After all, it was a personal dispute and had nothing to do with the auction house. They just needed to do their job.

They might even make a fortune from it.

Before long, the price of monk fruit soared to over five thousand mid-grade demon stones.

The peacock made another bid, and the surrounding demon cultivators all looked conflicted. They wanted to dissuade the peacock, but were afraid of being scolded, so they looked extremely awkward.

The young lady has a terrible temper; they dare not provoke her.

Finally, some people couldn't hold back any longer.

“Young Miss, we came here to photograph the Demon King’s portrait. This Luo Han Guo is not worth the price at all.”

The man's well-intentioned advice only made the peacock's face darken.

"Are you teaching me what to do?"

The peacock gave him a cold look, and the warning in its eyes sent a chill down one's spine.

"I'm short of this little money?"

"I'll do whatever I want. Stop talking nonsense and don't forget who you are!"

After saying that, she turned her head and continued to stare at the private room opposite.

She's not stupid; of course she knows that monk fruit isn't worth that much money.

But the other party has an alchemist who must really need the Arhat Fruit, otherwise they wouldn't be so persistent in pursuing it.
