Ye Yun's blunt remarks nearly infuriated Lu Feng.
Who was this reckless brat, truly believing that a few spirit stones granted him carte blanche?
However, Ye Yun proceeded to prove him right with his actions.
"Since the other party is out of funds, I won't add too much. Two million seven hundred and forty thousand spirit stones!"
The bid was undeniably malicious.
It was exactly one million less than Lu Feng's intended bid of two million seven hundred and fifty thousand, a direct hit to the heart.
Within the auction hall, many cultivators who understood the jab couldn't help but snicker.
Lu Feng's face turned ashen, rendered speechless by Ye Yun's taunts. He sat in his private room, his expression grim.
The auctioneer called the bid three times, finally bringing down the gavel and confirming the ownership of the Nine-Leaf Lingering Blossom.
With that, Lu Feng snorted coldly and rose to leave.
"Brat, since you seek death, don't blame this seat!"
Who said one had to pay money to acquire an auctioned item? In this world, everything was about strength!
The kid might have the money to buy it, but would he live to take it with him!
As Ye Yun purchased the Nine-Leaf Lingering Blossom, the Fenglong Auction concluded.
After completing the transaction for the Profound Crystals in the back, Ye Yun prepared to leave with his disciple and Gu Xiaoyue.
However, just as the transaction finished and before they even exited the auction house, they were intercepted by a woman in a white dress.
"Esteemed sir, may we have a word?"
"No."
Ye Yun looked up, his rejection immediate and impolite.
The woman in white was stunned, never expecting Ye Yun to be so unyielding, shutting her down before she even spoke.
Though she hated to admit it, she had always relied on her stunning looks and figure. Whenever she desired something, others had eagerly offered it to her.
"Hey, you! They haven't even told you what it's about yet!"
Ye Yun shot her a look. While he didn't know her, he recognized her voice.
"You're the one who was competing with me for the Nine-Leaf Lingering Blossom earlier, aren't you? Coming to me now, you want me to give it to you, right?"
Lin Xueyan and Gu Xiaoyue, standing beside him, eyed the woman in white with curiosity, both inwardly surprised.
From a woman's perspective, they could clearly sense the woman's extraordinary aura, especially her seemingly boundless generosity.
Even they found themselves staring for a while, then glancing down at their own chests before subtly turning away.
Gu Xiaoyue, in particular, looked at the woman's curves with a complex mix of emotions.
At this moment, the woman in white paused slightly, then smiled and said, "You are indeed sharp, sir. I do desire the Nine-Leaf Lingering Blossom!"
"Therefore, I refuse."
Ye Yun shrugged, but the woman seemed unwilling to give up.
"Don't be so quick to refuse. I truly want that Nine-Leaf Lingering Blossom!"
"You want it, what does that have to do with me? If you have nothing else, I'm leaving."
From his perception, the woman appeared slightly younger than him, yet her cultivation had reached the peak of the Emperor Rank. She was likely no pushover, and he had no desire for further interaction.
However, the woman in white persisted, reaching out to block Ye Yun. After a moment's thought, she said.
"I am from the Linglong Immortal Palace. You must have heard of it. If possible, please trade it to me. I will reward you handsomely afterward!"
Her intention was to convey her high status and suggest Ye Yun could ask for precious items or favors, like his troubles being resolved?
But due to the Black Demon Gate incident, Ye Yun's interpretation of her words was naturally that of a threat.
Moreover, the Linglong Immortal Palace was a dominant force in the Northern Region, as renowned and powerful as the Feather Fall Immortal Palace in their Eastern Region. As a threat, it was more than enough, even for him.
However, the more this was the case, the more polite Ye Yun's response became.
"Trade it to you? Why? Because you're from the Linglong Immortal Palace? Or because you have a big chest and no brain?"
As he spoke, he glanced at the area where her ample bosom was subtly revealed by the low neckline of her dress due to her excellent figure.
In his view, he had clearly stated he didn't want to trade, and she was still pestering him, which was somewhat looking for trouble.
"You... you're a pervert!"
The woman in white blushed deeply at his words, especially noticing Ye Yun's gaze and the astonished looks of passersby glancing at her chest. She hastily covered herself with her hands, filled with shame and indignation.
Ye Yun shrugged and, after delivering that parting shot, left with the two women.
This time, the woman in white did not stop him. Instead, she pursed her lips and stared at his receding back, her blushing face filled with grievance.
"If you won't give it, fine. But to say such things in public? You hateful fellow, this Palace will remember you!"
At that moment, she noticed that many passersby were still lingering, their attention fixed on her figure. Her flushed face instantly turned cold.
"You... have you seen enough?"
As her voice fell, her peak Emperor Rank pressure instantly enveloped the entire aisle. Those who were still peeking turned deathly pale, a chill running from their necks to their heels. Everyone swallowed hard, immediately averted their gazes, and fled.
The woman in white then let out a cold snort, retracted her pressure, and left the merchant guild.
On the other side, Ye Yun and the other two quickly exited the merchant guild, their conversation still revolving around the recent events.
During their talk, Lin Xueyan kept glancing at her master, her face flushed.
She felt her master had been a bit lewd just now, but he was also incredibly dashing!
Across the continent, how many could stand up to power and refuse to yield, knowing the other party's immortal palace background?
At the same time, she didn't hold back her words: "Master, what you said was wonderful! That woman clearly thinks highly of herself, trying to suppress people with her status from the start!"
"Hmph, and with her figure, it would definitely be a hindrance during combat. Honestly, having such a good figure..."
Seeing her mumbling, Ye Yun glanced at her and smiled, "Xueyan, are you perhaps envious of her?"
"Uh..."
Lin Xueyan's thoughts were exposed in an instant, her face turning crimson. But she still retorted defiantly.
"How could I be? How could a disciple be envious of her!"
"Sigh, it's alright. You're still young, and you'll have a better figure than her when you grow up."
"I really am not envious of her, Master, you must believe me!"
"Alright, alright, not envious, not envious..."
Ye Yun shook his head helplessly. Lin Xueyan's expression was far too easy to read.
However, to be fair, considering her age, her figure was already quite good. How did he know? After all, she had held his arm, and he could instantly gauge her measurements.
At this moment, Ye Yun seemed to recall something and looked at Gu Xiaoyue with a hint of confusion.
"What's wrong? You've been quiet since a while ago. This isn't like you."
Gu Xiaoyue crossed her arms, her head bowed, her back to Ye Yun. She said softly.
"Xiaoyue temporarily doesn't want to discuss such lewd topics with you."
Ye Yun and Lin Xueyan both looked puzzled, but when they glanced at her chest, they fell silent.
Ye Yun showed a sympathetic expression, stepped forward, and patted her shoulder.
"Don't be discouraged. Having a flat chest at such a young age isn't necessarily a bad thing."
"A flat chest? What's that?"
Gu Xiaoyue was still mulling over her own issues, but Lin Xueyan looked confused, not understanding his meaning.
"Uh... a flat chest..."
Ye Yun realized he had spoken too casually and showed an awkward expression.
Just as he was about to find an excuse to change the subject, his gaze suddenly fixed ahead, a hint of killing intent flashing in his eyes.
"It seems we'll have to discuss this topic later. Master has work to do."
The two women also sensed it and looked up, spotting several gray-robed men approaching them on the street.
