Luck is a Charm

Zen was agitated when he finally saw the Soul Replenishing Herb but he has entrusted the task to Evie.

Thus, he didn't bother with it much as he stared at Krista Dragoon and asked solemnly.

"There is a Demon Lord in this world?" Zen was confused about how a Demon Lord is suddenly appearing in this world.

He thought it was just simple mages and some true qi cultivators but as he continues to live longer in this tiny world, Zen started to realize something.

Unimaginable things continue to pop out and many more surprise elements await to show themselves.

Krista Dragoon didn't know why Zen acted in shock when it was common knowledge for everyone to know about the existence of a Demon Lord.

However, she still decided to answer his question since there was no harm in doing so.

"Yes, there is a Demon Lord in this world but he always resides in an extremely secretive place. We can never locate him until his army decides to attack a village or town." Krista Dragoon replied as she tried to detect the abnormal behavior of Zen.

She was left disappointed when Zen simply nodded his head and stayed silent.

'So there is a Demon Lord currently roaming in this world.' Zen exclaimed inwardly.

The next second though, Zen decided to ignore the Demon Lord for now since there was no reason to fight against him.

They may cross paths later in the future but things can always change. Who made the rule that every Demon Lord is evil?

"Back to the formation topic, I believe there is a teleportation formation in this whole auction that could transport us to a labyrinth," Zen said to Krista Dragoon who also nodded her head in agreement.

"We need to leave quickly." Krista Dragoon said as she doesn't want to get dragged into a scheme when her hand is already full to make preparation against the empress.

However, Zen shook his head as she smiled mysteriously.

Afterward, he leaned closer to Krista Dragoon and whispered something in her ears. 

Krista Dragoon was surprised but then she soon smiled mischievously at Zen for coming up with such a plan.

"You're a real evil and tricky bastard," Krista Dragoon laughed as she looked at Zen who seemed innocent but full of devilish ideas.

Zen gladly took that as a compliment and bowed slightly to thank her.

Afterward, he sat next to Krista Dragoon before placing his arm around her shoulder.

"Before you tried to fling my arm away, I believed my great plan deserved this intimate action at least," Zen said when Krista Dragoon was prepared to swing his arm away.

"I forgot to add lecherous into your adjective." Krista Dragoon pouted in displeasure but she allowed his arm to stay in her shoulder.

Leila Dragoon witnessed the scene in front of her with a gawking expression. 

'Sister Krista is truly different when she's around Zen. If it were some other male then she would have changed into a furious woman and cripple their thing.' Leila Dragoon exclaimed inwardly as she looked at Zen in admiration.

Zen glanced at Leila Dragoon and saw her admiration toward him. He decided to wink his left eye slightly at her.

Leila Dragoon blushes as she hurriedly turns her head around to look at Lady Seraphine announcing multiple bids for the Soul Replenishing Herb.

The item was popular with many bidders but Evie was even more aggressive. 

She kept bidding by doubling the price of the bidder, making everyone grumble and cursed their luck for having to bid against her.

Evie was calling a bid without even taking a second to rethink and not many are willing to go against her wish.

Zen smiled when he knew he entrusted the right person to bid. If he was the one bidding for it, knowing how many people he has offended, it would be extremely difficult for him to win.

Especially when he knows Daphne Camellia has a grudge against him for always teasing and messing with her bid.

During this time, Zen continued to lean closer to Krista Dragoon, feeling her warmth and smelling the fragrance emitting from her body.

"Aren't you feeling too comfortable?" Krista Dragoon said as she could feel Zen is starting to get cozy with her.

"I can't help it when a peerless beauty like you is in my embrace. I'm doing this for our own good as this will increase our relationship." Zen replied cheekily and pecked her cheek lightly.

Krista Dragoon was enraged as she pouted and yelled, "I'm not an easy woman so stop with your tactic. It's getting more annoying and only going to make me hate you more."

'If I was a virgin boy then I would have fallen for your words.' Zen sneered inwardly at her acting.

After learning his lesson from Cecilia, Zen would never believe Krista Dragoon whenever she acted angrily but did nothing about it.

If she was truly enraged and displeased with his action then she would have fired some magic spell at Zen.

Even if it won't kill him, she wouldn't mind injuring him at all since Evie has given her the green light to punish him whenever he went overboard.

"Krista, don't you want to relax your nerves a little bit and try to lean onto someone for assistance." Zen held her closer to him and continued.

"I know you're still suspicious and can't trust me fully. I can guarantee that as we continue to get along, you'll find me extremely attractive."

Krista Dragoon was speechless at his word and spouted, "Have you ever looked at yourself in the mirror?"

"I did and I can see a very handsome face," Zen replied instantly as he pecked her cheeks again.

Krista Dragoon couldn't handle his lewd behavior any longer as she struggled to free herself from Zen.

"No need to struggle as the auction is about to be over." Zen saw her 'fake' struggle as he informed her that Evie has successfully won the Soul Replenishing Herb.

"Congratulations to Madame Evie for winning the Soul Replenishing Herb." Lady Seraphine announced loudly as she ordered the servant to bring the herb to Evie.

At the same time, the formation spread around the auction house has started to blink in luminous light.
