Chapter 180 Black Market Auction
“Crack!”
The room door was opened again. Yun Xi, seeing that it was a bit dark, turned on the corridor light. She saw Su Jiu sitting there cultivating and asked with some confusion, “Where is the girl who is suspected to be of Gemini bloodline?”
“Compressed to 85%. It’s much faster than I imagined.”
Su Jiu slowly opened her eyes, exhaled, stopped “Elegy,” casually picked up a magic crystal, and got up with one hand supporting the bed. She said softly, “She left. She said she was controlled, and if she didn’t leave, the pain would get worse.”
Yun Xi came to her side, holding two red vouchers, and asked, “Controlled? She wouldn’t have discovered our identities and found an opportunity to escape, would she?”
“It should be impossible. Looking at her, she seems like a pitiable person. She doesn’t seem to have any connection with the Gemini. Let her go if she wants.”
Su Jiu glanced at Yun Xi, turned on the TV, took off her clothes, and went into the bathroom, saying, “I’m going to take a bath.”
With a “swish,” steam began to rise from the bathroom.
Yun Xi frowned tightly. After a moment, seeing Su Jiu looking dejected, she shook her head and sighed at the misty glass door, “Forget it, I won’t worry about it anymore. That girl isn’t important… But I got some important news over there – the black market is holding an auction tomorrow, and Count Sam will be attending.”
“It seems that besides ordinary traded items, that Count also plans to auction priority qualifications for sacrifices and prayers. He’s playing a good game, not only making competitors out of the other Counts and Grand Viscounts but also making money from their pockets… The saying ‘old people are wise’ is indeed accurate.”
After speaking, Yun Xi sat on the nearby rocking chair, propped up her chin, and looked at the bathroom door. Then, she chuckled and said, “I also got some news from a sea creature, and this news should be quite interesting to you.”
“What news? Is it about the Feather I asked you to inquire about earlier?” Su Jiu’s voice came from the bathroom, somewhat muffled. She was washing her hair, and her cultivation had made her body covered in sticky sweat.
“Wait… you have to pay a price first, and then I’ll tell you.”
Through the mist, Yun Xi’s eyes flashed with a bloody color. She suddenly stood up, a strange smile on her lips. She took off her clothes and walked straight over, opening the bathroom door.
You stinking servant, you like spanking my butt, huh? You think you can take advantage of me for free?
Finally, I caught an opportunity!
“You need to pay a price. Those stalls captured quite a few decorations…”
She was halfway through speaking when she found the toilet door was open. Su Jiu’s heart suddenly jumped. She turned her head and looked, “Doubi Xi, hurry out…”
The next moment, hot steam washed over Yun Xi’s face. Su Jiu’s naked body was vaguely visible in front of her. Yun Xi didn’t have any other thoughts. She had seen everything she needed to see; they were an old married couple after all.
She just wanted to seize the opportunity to regain some dignity!
Hearing Su Jiu call her “Doubi Xi,” Yun Xi’s mouth twitched. She raised her little hand high, revealing a smile she had never shown before.
“You call me Doubi Xi, right? Do you know to respect this Lord? Call me Vivian, Madam!”
“Slap!” A loud slapping sound echoed in the bathroom.
“What are you doing?!”
Stopping the shower, Su Jiu bent her legs and looked at Yun Xi, both embarrassed and angry. She saw Yun Xi looking at her own hand with a look of satisfaction, her face showing a teasing smile.
Yun Xi looked at Su Jiu quite seriously, her mouth curving up, her two small blood-red teeth slightly exposed, and said, “Do you!”
Su Jiu: …
Has Doubi Xi been spanked too much and gone bad? Why does she feel like she wants revenge?
The next moment, Su Jiu’s hand was grabbed…
Water splashed everywhere, like falling flowers in the rain, with a touch of dew. The tinkling laughter was slightly demonic.
Of course, the laughter was from Doubi Xi. Su Jiu’s expression was like that of someone who had eaten poison.
The two perhaps messed around for a while. After leaving the bathroom, Su Jiu changed into her pajamas, covering her slightly flat chest with both hands. She looked cautiously at Yun Xi, pointed to the bed next to her, and said, “Two beds. We can play and joke around, but don’t go crazy at night again.”
Yun Xi carelessly tied her pajamas into a bow, tilted her head slightly, and chuckled, “That depends on my mood…”
After speaking, a small dimple appeared on her face. She leaned close to Su Jiu’s face and exhaled a breath of orchids, making Su Jiu’s earlobe even hotter. “If you misbehave, or if you have other women outside, I’ll do this to wake you up from now on.”
Doubi Xi didn’t object to Su Jiu liking others. She knew that someone as restless as Su Jiu would eventually have other “sisters”…
But she hoped that this servant who opened up to her would truly put her in her heart.
Being teased by Yun Xi, Su Jiu’s face was still as red as if she had been drinking. She pulled away, straightened her expression slightly, and said, “Stop messing around, tell me about the important business you mentioned.”
It was okay to be woken up occasionally, but at other times, she would be the one waking up Doubi Xi.
Yun Xi stood up, patted Su Jiu’s head, and leaned against the headboard to watch cartoons. Under her bathrobe, her two fair feet swayed back and forth. She said, “There is news about the suspected Feather, but it’s very vague. It says that a War God Level fire-attribute monster died of old age in Chuan Yu Province of Dragon Country a long time ago. We’ll only know the specific details at the auction tomorrow.”
“This news might not be a big secret, but that’s how the black market is. Everything has a price… I asked that sea creature, and he said this news would cost about twenty Beginner Magic Crystals to acquire.”
“I’ve prepared our entry tickets. We’ll go in together then.”
Su Jiu looked at those two small feet, her eyes widened in surprise. So, the jade feet were real…
But she quickly realized that her strength was insufficient. If she acted presumptuously now, she would only repeat what had just happened – and if it got worse, Yun Xi would be unhappy, and she would be made to “meow.”
Yun Xi naturally didn’t know what Su Jiu meant. Seeing that she wasn’t saying anything, she got up confusedly and waved her hands in front of her, “I’m asking you!”
“What if we used Intermediate Magic Crystals? How much would it cost?”
Su Jiu snapped back to reality, rubbed her nose, and remembered that she still had over twenty Intermediate Magic Crystals left. The Beginner Magic Crystals had already been eaten by E Huo as snacks.
“Four. But if we use too many Intermediate Magic Crystals, we might attract attention. The black market is mixed, and Count Sam, who manages it, is not a law-abiding person,” Yun Xi said lightly, constantly changing channels with the remote control.
“It shouldn’t be, right? We have Battle General Level strength, so those petty people wouldn’t dare…”
Su Jiu was about to continue speaking when she suddenly seemed to sense something. She looked towards the door, her gaze slightly narrowed, her fingernails slowly elongating as she quickly walked towards the door, opening it with one hand.
She suddenly thrust her claws towards the person’s neck, the claws shimmering with flowing light, instilling awe.
And this person was…
“Miss Su Jiu, it’s me! I heard you making such loud noises just now and thought something had happened, so I came to check.” Laura trembled and took two steps back, her eyes filled with fear. This person from the Sword God family looked so scary!
Su Jiu: …
Something did happen, but not what you think it was…
