"Brother Tian…." Jin Mingzhe wanted to say something, but he was interrupted by his father's warning gaze.
Yun Lintian smiled and said. "I know what you want to say. However, these Vermilion fruits are important to us. They are worthy of spending forty million on them… Also, why do you think this is my limit?"
Jin Mingzhe was stunned for a moment and subconsciously asked. "Is it not?"
Jin Yang glared at him and said. "He could give your Aunt Yu and me ten million high-grade Profound Stones each. Do you think this forty million mid-grade Profound Stones is his limit? Obviously, he's intending to let everyone think this way."
Jin Mingzhe was enlightened. He glanced at his father resentfully as the latter didn't tell him about it before. How could he know it?
Yu Rongxi looked at Yun Lintian and said softly. "I know you have a plan, but you don't need to spend in the next round. After all, all the money will return to them in the end."
"Thank you for your concern, Senior Yu." Yun Lintian responded warmly. He didn't intend to explain anything about his plan.
"Congratulations to the gentleman in room number three! We will send the items to you soon. We will move to the next item after this gentleman settles the payment." Xiao Yue said and opened her hand toward Yun Lintian's room.
Shortly afterward, a knocking sound could be heard on Yun Lintian's room door. Yun Lintian opened it and handed the storage ring to the young maid. After the maid checked the content, she respectfully handed two brocade boxes to him and left.
Yun Lintian closed the door and returned to his seat. He placed the boxes on the table and opened them. Instantly, a wave of gentle heat swept the entire room, and the two palm-sized vermilion-colored fruits appeared before everyone.
Yun Lintian pushed one box toward Huoyun Yurou and said. "Please take this, Matriarch."
Huoyun Yurou took a deep look at him and didn't hesitate to bite a mouthful of the fruit. The long-forgotten taste spread over her mouth, and the fruit transformed into a warm current quickly flushed into her body.
Jin Yang and Yu Rongxi quickly took action to erect barriers around the room, ensuring Huoyun Yurou's aura did not slip out.
Yun Lintian shifted his gaze from Huoyun Yurou to another fruit before saying. "Great Elder, I will keep this with me first. Perhaps they would be a surprise later."
Huoyun Zhu was puzzled a bit, but she didn't have any objection. After all, it was won by Yun Lintian's money. "Sure."
Yun Lintian stored the fruit away. He was looking for a chance to send it to the Land of Beyond Heaven later.
At this moment, Xiao Yue sent a signal to two maids beside her after getting confirmation of Yun Lintian's payment.
"The second item today will definitely surprise everyone here." Xiao Yue's voice resounded, and the crowd immediately looked forward to the second auction item.
Soon, two maids appeared in the hall with a beautiful woman in white. This woman had an oval face with an appropriate ratio. Her eyebrows were long and slender, with a pair of magnificent eyes underneath them. However, the light in her eyes was a little dimmed. Evidently, she had no desire to live in this world anymore.
Nevertheless, her cold and noble temperament instantly fascinated everyone in the hall. Even Pei Xiewen, Zi Mo, and Lang Mian were no exception.
"Human?" Yu Jiao'er said with a surprise. Although she knew it was common to see a human slave here, she didn't expect such a peerless woman would become an auction item .
A cold glint flashed through Yun Lintian's eyes for a short moment. With a glance, he could see this woman's profound strength had been completely sealed. It prevented her from committing suicide. If there was no mistake, he would undoubtedly try to bid for her.
At the same time, he was curious about her identity. It was true that there were countless beautiful women in this world, but this woman gave off a unique aura that attracted him. Her background shouldn't be ordinary.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. This little girl is indeed a rare beauty. Hurry up and add her to your harem." Hongyue's voice resounded in Yun Lintian's mind.
As the maids brought the woman onto the platform, they took two steps back and let Xiao Yue handle her.
Xiao Yue glanced at the woman briefly and then turned to the crowd. "I believe everyone has already guessed about her identity. That's right. She is a human."
"Just tell us the price already, Miss Xiao!"
"That's right! No need to introduce further."
The group of men in the crowd was staring at the woman on the platform with red eyes. The moment she appeared in their sights, they were determined to win this bid even if they went bankrupt.
Xiao Yue covered her mouth and giggled. "Aiya, you stinky men can't endure anymore?"
The crowd laughed upon hearing this.
"Alright, alright. I won't waste your time anymore." Xiao Yue curled her lips. "However, I still want to introduce her other identity first… Many of you might never heard about her before. This human woman once had a fascinating identity among the humans."
Xiao Yue paused for a moment and said further. "She was a goddess that countless men yearned for. Her name is Mu Qiuxue. Those humans called her Snow Maiden."
A lot of people among the crowd sucked in cold air. These people had once traveled to other continents before, and they had heard about the famous Snow Maiden Mu Qiuxue. They didn't expect this peerless figure to be enslaved here.
"Snow Maiden Mu. It turns out to be her." Pei Xiewen muttered.
"You know her, Brother Pei?" Zi Mo hurriedly asked. Compared to Pei Xiewen, he was rarely traveling to other continents.
"Mhm." Pei Xiewen nodded slightly. "She is a rare human genius. I heard that Du Huanfeng of the Myriad Pill Palace had been chasing her for several years, and she had disappeared since. I never thought she would appear here."
Zi Mo's eyes lit up, and he turned to stare at the beautiful woman on the platform with burning desire.
In the opposite room, Yun Lintian was thoroughly shocked in his heart. Wasn't this his so-called master?
"Hehe. Fate is truly miraculous." Hongyue laughed slightly as she took a deep look at Mu Qiuxue.
