Chapter 216: Is That My Honored Master Whose Surname Is Feng? 【 Foreshadowing 】
Several people waited for a while before seeing Tan Zhu rise with graceful allure.
Her beautiful eyes glanced lightly, “For this treasure, our Gui Xuan Merchant Guild bids fifty thousand.”
Fifty thousand demon stones!
This was far higher than the market’s purchase price. Tan Zhu was deliberately raising the price for Xie Yanning out of their past friendship!
Xie Yanning’s calm gaze shifted, her eyes showing gratitude.
Ming Zhaoshuang raised an eyebrow. She had already guessed from their conversation that their friendship was likely not shallow, but she hadn’t expected Tan Zhu to cheat for Xie Yanning so openly.
Tan Zhu is truly a beautiful and kind person.
As soon as she spoke, the demon race members behind her immediately became restless.
One demon said, “Although the Huan Bird’s corpse bone is expensive, it doesn’t have a demon core, so it’s at most thirty thousand demon stones. Tan Dan, aren’t you being too biased?”
Tan Zhu, on this trip, was using the alias Tan Dan.
Hearing this, she raised her eyebrows slightly and said with a charming laugh, “Brother Ah Shan, why are you in such a hurry? Listen to me slowly. The high price of fifty thousand I offered, is it really because I like those two young ladies? Naturally, I have my own considerations.”
“First, this Huan Bird is Heaven Rank Low Grade, its cultivation has reached the Early Integration Stage, and it is extremely fresh. Although it lacks a demon core, its purchase price is at least thirty thousand demon stones to start. Second, this Huan Bird’s bones are complete, and its claws and teeth are all present. Any part of it is a good medicinal ingredient for pills or artifacts, it can be considered a complete set. Raising its price to forty thousand demon stones is also understandable. Third, our Gui Xuan Merchant Guild is about to hold an auction, and we are short of a set of high-grade beast bones. This perfectly fills the gap. Fifty thousand demon stones is the most worthwhile price.”
The demon named Ah Shan still remained noncommittal after hearing this, “That price increase is their business. we should just pay according to the market price. The demon stones of the merchant guild aren’t… blown in by the great wind.”
Towards the end, he had already started to stutter.
It was nothing else; Tan Zhu’s boneless body had already leaned against his, bringing a warm touch.
The unique fragrance of Tan Zhu drifted into Ah Shan’s nose and mouth, causing him to become dazed. He was a demon race member, and it was now spring. With such a slight seduction from her, his heart became restless.
Especially since Tan Zhu’s jade-like arm was also gently resting on Ah Shan’s shoulder, her tone rising with a soft, languid voice, “But Ah Shan, isn’t doing business about sincerity? My sincerity is enough. I wonder if your heart, Ah Shan, is sincere.”
Ah Shan’s face reddened quite a bit, and he stammered, “Sincere, my heart is very sincere.”
Seeing that her objective was achieved, Tan Zhu smiled slightly, took a step back, and her extremely enchanting eyes stared at the demon race members behind her, “I said that the price for this Huan Bird corpse bone is a total of fifty thousand. Do any of you have any objections?”
With just one look from her, those demon race members were stunned. They had no time to raise objections and were directly immersed in the sway of her gaze.
Don’t ask why they all gave the green light to such an outrageous price; it’s because they were also just employees!
Anyway, it wasn’t because they were infatuated!
Ming Zhaoshuang was left dumbfounded by Tan Zhu’s maneuver.
This… works too?
As expected of the only one in Qin Feilong’s harem who was not pure yet was still taken in by Qin Feilong, it turns out she truly had incredible methods.
Let alone the men of the demon race, even Ming Zhaoshuang, a woman, couldn’t help but be attracted to Tan Zhu.
She was simply too beautiful and alluring.
She was exactly like a seductive fox spirit; she adored her.
Since the several demons had no objections, Tan Zhu directly took out a red paper, wrote down the words “fifty thousand high-grade demon stones” on it, and handed it to Xie Yanning, smiling with beautiful eyes:
“Fellow Daoist, please hold onto this carefully.”
Tan Zhu’s fair hands brushed against Xie Yanning’s hand.
Xie Yanning: “…”
After not seeing each other for a few years, how could this demoness still be the same? She was attracted to both men and women.
However, she also knew that Tan Zhu had raised the price for her, so she smiled and said, “Thank you.”
Ming Zhaoshuang stood by the side, eager to try.
That was her next side quest; how could she not be excited?
However, under these circumstances, Ming Zhaoshuang found it difficult to speak. After all, the demon race members were all watching covetously. She could only look at Tan Zhu with her clear and beautiful eyes, trying to attract her attention.
Unexpectedly, Tan Zhu proactively turned her head and looked at her.
Those extremely enchanting eyes carried a smile, “Little friend, your Honored Master is an old friend of my Honored Master. My Honored Master specifically instructed me to give this item to you.”
Saying that, she handed a bottle of jade liquid to Ming Zhaoshuang.
“This water is called Yellow Springs Water. Sprinkling it into the Sea of Consciousness will surely have remarkable effects.”
Ming Zhaoshuang furrowed her brows, thinking that all her previous swordsmanship was taught by Jiang Yuejian, and she fundamentally had no Honored Master. If she really had to count a Honored Master, it would be Ming Zhaoxue, as he taught her Talisman Formations and swordsmanship. Though he didn’t have the title of Honored Master, he had the grace of a teacher.
However, according to Ming Zhaoxue, he had lived in seclusion in Beyond the Heavens for over ten thousand years and had never met anyone, so he wouldn’t have any old acquaintances. Thus, the term “old friend” was worth pondering.
She also recalled the usage of Yellow Springs Water and couldn’t help but ask, “Is it my Honored Master surnamed Feng?”
Tan Zhu smiled faintly, “It is indeed Senior Feng. My Honored Master said that she looks forward to Senior Feng coming to find her again.”
Ming Zhaoshuang understood a bit better, accepted the Yellow Springs Water, and said, “Thank you, Senior, for your generous gift. I believe that soon, my Honored Master will come to find her.”
And she, too, would come to find Tan Zhu.
Suddenly, Tan Zhu’s expression changed, seeming quite speechless. She could barely maintain her composure. After a long while, she took out several bottles of pills from her Cosmic Bag.
She said, “These are also from my Honored Master for you, as a meeting gift for juniors.”
Those several bottles of pills included ones for healing injuries, treating souls, and suddenly increasing spiritual power. Although their grade could not be discerned, it was obvious at a glance that they were no ordinary items.
Of course, half of them were Yellow Springs Water.
Clearly, it was mainly aimed at Ming Zhaoshuang’s “Honored Master.”
Ming Zhaoshuang accepted them all, smiling fawningly, “Hello, Senior, hello, Senior. I really like your meeting gifts. Can you give me more?”
Tan Zhu’s expression changed again, but it didn’t seem to be directed at Ming Zhaoshuang.
After a while, she seemed to sense the gazes of the demons behind her. Her eyes, full of charm, became lively again as she glanced back at them, “I truly did not offer them a high price based on personal feelings.”
Her eyes were full of pitiful charm, making those demons soften again, and they all said, “We understand, Miss Tan Dan is the most just.”
Miss Tan Dan is truly a gem of the mortal world.
It’s just a pity that she was taken by our merchant guild’s vice-president so early on, otherwise, perhaps they could have had a spring fling.
After all, it’s spring, and animals are in heat.
Their true bodies are demonic beasts, so it’s normal for them to be in heat.
