Facing Dragon Spirit’s somewhat expectant gaze, Yun Ran felt speechless. Hadn’t she already sold him several times?
Asking this question now, isn’t it a bit too late? ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
But after thinking it over, some things don’t need to be said too bluntly, Yun Ran immediately weighed her words.
"We are on the same side, let’s not use the word ’sell’, it sounds too unpleasant. We are willing to sacrifice ourselves for each other!"
As soon as Yun Ran finished speaking, Dragon Spirit’s skeptical gaze instantly turned fervent.
He always knew he was special. Yun Ran, no matter who she would sell, could never sell him.
Chi Yao watched Dragon Spirit’s expression of being completely taken in and silently lowered his eyelids, fearing he might laugh out loud and reveal his amusement to Dragon Spirit.
Seeing that the timing was right, Yun Ran finally decided to place a bid.
The small building has a special concealment function; Yun Ran could speak normally upstairs, yet people downstairs couldn’t discern her original voice.
"A residual soul of an Ancient Beast, able to be contracted for a hundred years, plus three Fire Essences."
If the previous Puppet Technique and Ghost King Level Ghost Servant had already surprised everyone, the current offer from Yun Ran completely stunned them. freewebnσvel.cѳm
Within the Xuan Sect, Magic Artifacts and Talismans are considered very precious.
Thus, naturally evolved elements and a residual soul of an Ancient Beast are even rarer.
Even some Mystical Sects might not possess these items, and if they do, they would keep them tightly secured.
Yet today, someone took out assets equivalent to a family legacy.
"No wonder that nobleman received the Supreme Invitation Letter; the items they’ve brought out are indeed extraordinary."
"I never expected that Ancient Beasts truly existed in this world; I had only heard of them before."
"With such deep-rooted influence, only the people from the Divine Hall can measure up."
...
The discussion downstairs was lively, and Yun Ran heard them clearly.
Though many spoke with envy, some comments were laced with sarcasm.
However, what Yun Ran hadn’t anticipated was that people would compare her with the legendary Divine Hall.
It seemed that her mere two public actions had truly impressed many people.
The people from the Divine Sword Manor were initially steady, hoping for those holding Tokens to fight more, so they could gain more benefits.
But they never imagined that the nobleman upstairs had Fire Essence in their possession!
That was something the Divine Sword Manor had searched for many years and still couldn’t find. With Fire Essence, swords crafted by Divine Sword Manor would definitely reach new heights.
Young Master Xue glanced at the servant beside him, and the person immediately turned and went to the designated position.
The person on stage saw this and understood immediately; the Young Master was satisfied with the bid from the upstairs guest.
He immediately spoke loudly: "Is there anyone else who can offer a higher price than our distinguished guest?"
Such words are often said during auctions when prices are close to ’fan the flames’.
But now, he said this not to get interested parties to spend more.
Instead, it’s to create an atmosphere where Yun Ran’s bid had already thoroughly crushed others.
Dragon Spirit noticed something amiss upon hearing this, and his gaze grew cold.
"What does Divine Sword Manor intend to do? Are they trying to make us the target of resentment?"
When others were bidding, the person on stage was silent, and now they want to make a target of us!
Yun Ran rested her chin on her hand and spoke leisurely: "Are you afraid of someone drawing resentment?"
Dragon Spirit was stunned for a moment before suddenly realizing.
With him and Yun Ran present, saying someone could draw resentment upon them seemed quite far-fetched.
After all, they were once known among Xuanmen people as ’Ghostly Foe’.
They’ve always been the ones drawing resentment, making others furious, and now being used as a target is just a minor issue.
"That’s true, you’ve done so many notorious things. If others occasionally do the same to you, it’s indeed no big deal."
Yun Ran: ...
Could it be that Dragon Spirit’s lips became as sharp because he’s been with Yun Ran for too long?
Unlike Yun Ran and Dragon Spirit’s calm demeanor, other token holders were displeased upon hearing the insinuation from the person on stage.
"What does Divine Sword Manor mean? Are they favoring the person with the Supreme Invitation Letter?"
The attendees at the Divine Sword Manor auction didn’t know there were special items this time.
However, those holding Tokens knew, which is why they investigated who would attend early on.
But they never imagined that someone would come forth with the residual soul of an Ancient Beast, one that could be contracted.
Such fortune is hard to find, and what they possess cannot compare.
But they couldn’t just let these treasures pass by right in front of their eyes.
"Go, check the identity of the person upstairs, and arrange for people to continue ambushing them!"
The casual mention of killing and treasure stealing made it seem as trivial as stomping an ant.
The private rooms have isolation arrays; conversations inside remain unheard outside unless they choose to let others hear.
They assumed they were safe, but in reality, every word they spoke was heard by Yun Ran and her group.
Such was the uniqueness of the small building, not even the owner of Divine Sword Manor was aware of it.
Dragon Spirit was amused by their brazen words: "It’s hilarious that someone thinks they can kill and steal treasures from you."
Moreover, aren’t these people shamelessly trying to get something for nothing, just trying to snatch the White Wolf without bidding?
The Nine-headed Ferocious Beast was initially angry with Yun Ran, but now it eagerly chimed in.
"Could it be that the ambush we encountered earlier was caused by these people?"
Though stating it, the Nine-headed Ferocious Beast was still puzzled as they hadn’t even revealed their invitation at that time; how had those people found them so precisely?
Yun Ran’s gaze immediately settled on the Token at her waist; she thought she might know the reason.
