Refining the Mountains and Rivers

Strong Pig revealed a reluctant look. If it was 40 million demon crystals, that definitely wouldn’t lose him money. In fact, he would make great gains.

But no one disliked having too many demon crystals. If the bid was much higher, he would be that much happier.

However, he had heard of Spring Breeze 13th Madame’s reputation before. This incomparably charming beauty had a great backer standing behind her.

Although it wasn’t known who this backer was, they were undoubtedly strong.

Now that she had opened her mouth, even if others wanted to bid they wouldn’t necessarily do so. Aiya, he was too rash, he had been too rash! If he had known about this earlier he would have raised the base price!

13th Madame covered her mouth and laughed, displaying a thousand different charms. “It looks like no one is willing to compete with me. Then, I must thank everyone here.” She looked over and said, “Trader, let’s complete this transaction.”

Strong Pig squeezed out a smile. Just as he was about to nod and agree, someone spoke up.

“41 million.”

Mm? Someone else bid!

After a brief moment of stunned shock, Strong Pig regained his composure. His eyes widened with joy.

He never imagined that there would be someone in Five Origin City who didn’t fear 13th Madame. Was he not afraid that he would be chewed to pieces by her?

But whether or not this person was chewed to pieces had no relation to him. Earning demon crystals was the only truth that mattered!

“41 million!” Strong Pig chuckled a few times, “13th Madame, it’s not that I’m not willing to finalize this deal, but these are the rules of our slave market and I still plan on earning on a living in this occupation, so I don’t dare to break them. Look…”

Anyone who dared to be a slave trader had to be a cruel and merciless person whose hands were stained with blood. Otherwise they would have been killed already. Spring Breeze 13th Madame was terrifying, but as long as one didn’t provoke her on their own initiative, they wouldn’t necessarily fear her!

13th Madame glanced at the fake-smiling Strong Big and said, “Of course. I wouldn’t have you violate the rules for such a minor matter.”

She turned and sized up the person who spoke. “This little brother, you seem unfamiliar. May I ask where you came from that you must make things difficult for this big sister?”

Qin Yu had a calm expression, “Trader, if I bid higher and no one is willing to follow up, then these two little things are mine, right?”

Strong Pig’s eyelids leapt up. He looked at Qin Yu, thinking that this boy was unexpectedly so fierce that he didn’t even place Spring Breeze 13th Madame in his eyes. To ignore her so blatantly, that was no different from a public slap in the face.

He forced out a smile. At this time, he couldn’t randomly speak out. While he wasn’t afraid of 13th Madame, he wouldn’t inexplicably offend her for nothing.

The complexions of the surrounding demons changed. They stepped back, clearly worried that they would be drawn into the fray.

“Haha, what an interesting little brother. Truly interesting!” 13th Madame’s smile became even more charming, her eyes seeming as if they would leak water. “42 million.”

Her sparkling eyes fell on Qin Yu, as if she saw something exceedingly amusing.

“45 million.” Qin Yu looked back at her, his expression light.

13th Madame blinked. “Little brother, demon crystals are earned with hard work and effort, so how can you not treasure them? How about giving way this time? Once this matter is over, I will surely give you repayment that will satisfy you.”

These words seemed a bit off. Although 13th Madame was charming and depraved, during these years no one had ever heard of her entertaining guests behind the curtain.

The expressions of the demons turned strange. Could it be that this vicious and insane woman had taken a liking to this boy?

“50 million.” Qin Yu looked as if he were staring at a cloud in the air.

In fact, he could only use this method of indifference to avoid revealing any more emotions.

Because this woman in front of him had a smell of blood so thick that it nearly condensed into substance. It irritated his nose, making him instinctively disgusted by her.

If he took a closer look at her, he was afraid he would reveal something he shouldn’t.

Mian Ya could also sense the thick presence of blood around this woman. Her complexion paled and she shivered, hostility in her eyes.

13th Madame’s eyes suddenly fell on her. Her lips curved up in a smile and she said, “Little brother, how about we make an exchange. I’ll give up those two little things to you, and I’ll even give you another 20 million demon crystals for the maid by your side. How about it?”

Mian Ya’s heart tightened. She subconsciously glanced up at Qin Yu.

He didn’t refuse. He actually didn’t immediately refuse. Could it be that he was considering it?

20 million demon crystals…if this amount was used only to purchase beautiful women, he could buy several hundred at least. And they would all be from different abyssal tribes, all of different tastes.

While she was a member of the Nine-tailed Demon Fox Clan, with an outstanding appearance and adequate strength, in front of Qin Yu it seemed she was only capable of playing the role of warming his bed.

Moreover, he had never taken a liking to her at the start. During this time, she had tried to entice him several times but there had never been a response from him.

Trading her for 20 million demon crystals…no, it wasn’t just that. Without her, there was no reason for Qin Yu to buy these two little nine-tailed demon fox children anymore. He could turn her over and gain another batch of demon crystals.

Like this, he could receive demon crystals and even avoid unnecessary troubles. No matter how she looked at this, it was a perfect transaction.

Mian Ya paled further as she pleaded with her eyes. Beads of sweat appeared on the tip of her small and fine nose.

This damned woman, after being targeted by 13th Madame, it seemed she had fallen into desperation.

Qin Yu maintained his composure. He glanced over, feeling reinvigorated. You dare to entice me all this time? It's right for you to suffer a little.

13th Madame saw Qin Yu’s hesitation and joy flashed in her eyes. “Little brother, you won’t lose out in this transaction no matter what…or, you can give up those two little children to me also…then, I can pay you an extra 20 million demon crystals!”

Shua –

Mian Ya turned deathly pale. She wavered where she stood. She never imagined that this woman would speak the scariest thought in her heart.

If Qin Yu handed her over, he could obtain 40 million demon crystals…

Thump –

It wasn’t known who subconsciously gulped. They thought that the woman who stood next to the young man was exceptionally beautiful, but if compared to 40 million demon crystals…

Was there even a need to choose?

13th Madame took another two steps forward, a red blush riding up her cheeks. “It seems that little brother is still not satisfied…you really are a greedy one. When this trade is over, how about I accompany you for another two days?”

This was not just a suggestion anymore, but was stark naked seduction.

Heavens!

Spring Breeze 13th Madame might be terrifying and vicious, but her beauty could not be doubted. She was like a beautiful black rose, covered in poisonous thorns.

Now, she actually agreed to offer herself up. Who could withstand this temptation!?

Qin Yu suddenly took a step back and covered his nose. He looked at the approaching 13th Madame with a helpless expression.

If you want to speak then speak, why do you need to come over? The scent was so nauseating that he almost puked.

Originally, he was thinking of punishing Mian Ya to make her suffer a little so that she remembered not to mess with him afterwards.

But he could no longer continue on this script!

“Enough! I have no interest in the likes of you, whether it is your body or your demon crystals.” From the reaction of the surrounding people, Qin Yu could guess that this so-called Spring Breeze 13th Madame was a woman with a great background. But, so what?

He had rid himself of the will of the abyss’ targeting, and he also had Old Fox, Black Astral, and Shadowless Demon following him. With himself included, as long as he didn’t face an Abyssal Demon King, he simply felt no fear.

And would an Abyssal Demon King be entangled with this disgusting, blood-drenched woman in front of him? Haha, it wasn’t that he looked down on her, but she simply had no chance at all.

Because the reason he could smell the scent of blood coming off of her was due to him having fused with a part of the abyss’ source.

And an Abyssal King…if this woman approached them, they would be too disgusted to even eat her up.

“You…” 13th Madame’s expression stiffened and her eyes turned cold. “It seems that this little brother is truly confident. Then, let’s bid.” She lifted a finger, “80 million. I will take away these two nine-tailed demon fox children.”

Qin Yu glanced at the two excited children who occasionally glanced at Mian Ya. He coldly sneered and said, “100 million.”

He paused and rubbed his eyebrows before continuing, “It isn’t for both of them together, but 100 million for each of them.”

Strong Pig’s field of vision turned black and he almost fell onto his back. But in the next second, he flipped back up at a speed completely incompatible with his body shape and his entire face flushed red with excitement.

“Guest…guest…you have to know that even though we are selling slaves…Netherworld Station still deducts a percentage…you can’t casually put out a bid…”

His teeth grinded together as he stared at Qin Yu, fearing that he would hear something like ‘Sorry’ come from his mouth.

“200 million demon crystals. If the deal is finalized, I will soon send it over.” Qin Yu’s voice was calm, but in his heart he was actually a bit excited.

Although he didn’t have any feelings towards demon crystals, since he was in the abyss he was aware of their purchasing power. Thus, he knew that casually tossing out 200 million demon crystals was an amount that couldn’t be described as merely a big spender.

However, they weren’t his demon crystals anyway so he didn’t feel distressed spending them. Another thought was that if Feature could spend them, why couldn’t he…

The entire audience fell deathly silent!

The Netherworld Station demons responsible for keeping order in the slave market soon arrived. Their faces were full of shock.

This was a business deal worth 200 million. While this wasn’t much in comparison to the total amount of transactions today, it already broke the highest transaction record for the slave market.

Of course, being excited was one thing; they had to confirm this young man’s purchasing power first to avoid being made a joke.

All honored guests who entered the auction hall, whether they were in the main venue or branch venue, had been recorded. While there were occasionally omissions, records were being constantly updated as the auction proceeded.

Soon, the Netherworld Station demons found the information they wanted – this guest came from another venue and was the colleague of the young miss who bid 100 million demon crystals for the stone ogre blood.

Although it had been bought by Blue Wave for 200 million in the end, the crystal card that appeared during that time was enough to prove her financial resources.

If Qin Yu was her colleague, he was naturally worth trusting.

“Honored guest, thank you for patronizing the slave market branch venue. I am the manager here today. Allow me to confirm this with you one final time. You want to purchase these two nine-tailed demon fox slaves for 200 million demon crystals, right?”

Qin Yu nodded.

The demon took a deep breath and looked at 13th Madame. As long as she no longer continued to bid, this transaction was complete.

13th Madame’s charming face now flashed blue and purple. The words she spoke before were maliciously flung into her face.

But this humiliation, she had to bear it even if she didn’t want to.

200 million demon crystals. It wasn’t that she couldn’t take this amount out, but such a large number had surpassed her highest level of authority.

With eyes full of hatred, she glared at Qin Yu. Her lips curved up into a beautiful smile, “Little brother, perhaps we’ll meet again in the future.”

After leaving these words behind, she turned and left.

At this moment Qin Yu stiffened. He furrowed his eyebrows, a bit of confusion in his eyes before he quickly composed himself.

He thought for a moment and looked at 13th Madame’s departing back. He loudly said, “I think it’s best that we don’t meet each other again in the future, otherwise you will certainly regret it.”

13th Madame paused. She turned her head, smiling so enchantingly that it left shivers crawling down one’s spine. “Before, I said you were interesting, but now I have discovered that you are far more interesting than I thought…then, let’s meet again.”
