The Crown Prince of Nan’xun Kingdom was choked by Lou Mu Yan and couldn’t say a word, annoyed and frustrated to death.
He took a deep breath and sat back in his seat, afraid that he wouldn’t be able to resist strangling that woman that smiled like a flower.
“Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, continue!” Lou Mu Yan saw the other party’s expression turn grim and she smiled even more cheerfully. There was even an expression of wanting this to continue on her face.
…
Seeing this, the others couldn’t bear to look directly at her. Why did they feel that this stunning woman really needed a beating. This was blatant showing off—having money sure made one arrogant!
The anger that the Crown Prince of Nan’xun Kingdom had just suppressed soared again. He snorted coldly with a dark expression: “I’ll let you.”
“But you don’t have to let me!” Lou Mu Yan blinked innocently.
The Crown Prince of Nan’xun glared at her fiercely, then turned to Leng Yi on the stage and said: “Young Miss Leng, let’s continue the auction.”
He also wanted to continue to bid! But it was a pity that he was suppressed by Lou Mu Yan. If he still had more Spiritual Stones, he would definitely smash them on the floor and blind Lou Mu Yan.
Leng Yi glanced at the Crown Prince of Nan’xun meaningfully with her usual smile on her beautiful face, while there was a small, genuine smile seeping from her eyes. That woman name Lou Mu Yan sure was interesting.
“This Young Miss has bid three hundred and sixty-one thousand Spiritual Stones, is there anyone who will bid higher?”
After waiting for a while, no one bid any more, and Leng Yi said with a smile: “I will count from three. If no one bids, the Sumeru Light Boat will belong to this Young Miss.”
“Three, two, one. Congratulations to this Young Miss for winning the finale item of the Ming Chamber of Commerce Alliance auction.”
Leng Yi said a few more emotional words and ended the auction. When she left, she glanced at Lou Mu Yan with great interest.
Lou Mu Yan’s eyes met hers for a few breaths of time, and an arc rose on her lips.
After the auction, the Crown Prince of Nan’xun Kingdom walked in front of Lou Mu Yan with a grim and sinister smile on his face, “Lou Mu Yan, I hope you can enter the finals alive.”
“Pfft!” Lou Mu Yan raised an eyebrow and said with a smile: “Ji Yu once said the same to me, but this Young Miss is still alive and well, yet he has already reported to the Palace of King Yama.”
“Just you wait.” The Crown Prince of Nan’xun Kingdom naturally knew that Ji Yu led people to besiege and kill Lou Mu Yan, but was instead backlashed by the talisman. That person’s death was indeed inseparable from this woman.
Lou Mu Yan revealed a look as if she were looking at an idiot, “I’ll accompany you to the end!”
There were countless people who wanted her to die, and there were also many people who had told her to ‘wait’, but in the end, she was still living filled with sound and colour, while those who spoke harshly all went to Hell. So she never spoke harshly to anyone. She was always just a proactive person.
After the Crown Prince of Nan’xun left, Lou Mu Yan and her party went to the Ming Chamber of Commerce Alliance to exchange for the auction items.
Lou Mu Yan was taken to a special private room and was personally received by Manager Jiang.
“Young Miss Lou, here are the several items you won today, you can count them.” Manager Jiang pushed a few boxes in front of Lou Mu Yan and said.
Lou Mu Yan checked them once, and after noting that there weren’t any problems, she handed the Spiritual Stones she prepared to Manager Jiang, “I’ve troubled Manager Jiang today.”
“Young Miss Lou is being too polite. It is this One’s honour to serve Young Miss.”
After being polite with Lou Mu Yan a little more, Manager Jiang suddenly said to Lou Mu Yan, as if having remembered something: “Young Miss Lou, Great Master Wu once explained that the person who won the Sumeru Light Boat should drip blood to be recognised as the Owner as soon as possible.”
“Why?” Lou Mu Yan asked in befuddlement.
“According to him, this flying Magic Tool had only just been refined, and there will be unexpected gains within a month of recognising the Owner by dripping blood. So Young Miss Lou might as well give it a try.” Manager Jiang said with a smile.
Lou Mu Yan’s gaze deepened, but she revealed a look of joy on her face, “Thank you for reminding me, I’ll try it when I get back to the inn.”
“Then this one Jiang here wishes Young Miss Lou good luck.”
After Lou Mu Yan said goodbye to Manager Jiang, she went out of the Ming Chamber of Commerce Alliance with Ye Qing Han and the others.
As soon as she walked out of the door, she saw Luo Li and several others waiting for her.
“Lou Mu Yan, what are your plans for the time being?” Luo Li stepped forward and smiled handsomely.
Lou Mu Yan smiled warmly, “We’re going to stay in the central city and wait for the finals.”
“That sounds like a good choice, and we’re not going to go out anymore either. Come over when you have time and let’s have a drink.” Luo Li invited.
Lou Mu Yan nodded: “Sure!”
Si Nan and the others still had things to do, so they greeted her, then went their separate ways.
After returning to the inn, Lou Mu Yan wasn’t in a hurry to drip blood to be recognised as the Owner. She took out that insidious Earth Rank Sword Skill and the flying-type Magic Tool.
When her eyes glanced towards the flying Magic Tool, her dark pupils grew deeper and darker.
She picked up the Magic Tool and looked at it, then halted when looking at a place where complicated patterns were carved on the hull. A sneer appeared on her lips.
This flying-type Magic Tool could be regarded as a fine product among Top-Quality Saint Tools. It was basically flawless, but as she expected, there was a problem.
At the same time, sitting in a secret basement in the central city was a pale man who looked around thirty years old.
In front of him was a mirror made of Spar, the same material as the crystal wall used by the Six Major Sects to monitor the competition space.
The situation of the auction was played in the mirror, and the image on the mirror disappeared when Lou Mu Yan returned to the inn.
The Reflection Array set up in the competition space cannot map the image of the residential area of the central city. This was also to ensure the privacy of the Sword Masters.
The man with a pale face and lips that were bewitchingly red walked to the ice bed1 behind him.
Lying on the ice bed was a beautiful woman in white. Her face was paler than the man’s and bloodless. Her aura was faint, and she was like a dead person.
If other people at the auction were here, they would be a little surprised, because the woman lying on the ice bed actually looked a bit similar to Lou Mu Yan.
“Ling Qiu, I’ve finally found someone who has the same bloodline relationship as you, with a Soul that is a good fit for your Soul.” The man reached out and stroked the woman’s face with gentle eyes, “As long as you devour her Soul and refine it, we will be able to reunite again.”
He held the woman’s cold hand and placed it on his lips with his eyes closed. Then he furrowed his brows and muttered to himself: “Why hasn’t she dropped her blood to be recognised as Owner yet after so long?”
If the usual Sword Master heard the words that he told the Ming Chamber of Commerce Alliance to tell, then they would have long felt impatient and dripped blood to be recognised as Owner—that little girl sure could remain calm.
He sighed and continued to pour out his heart to the sleeping woman, “You have been sleeping for a hundred years. Who would understand my loneliness. No matter what means I use, I must wake you up.”
It would be troublesome if the girl named Lou Mu Yan didn’t drip blood to have the flying Magic Tool recognise her as Owner.
He divined that the person who would win the flying-type Magic Tool would be a junior who had a certain connection with his beloved wife and would also be the person he was looking for.
He originally thought that hiding a Soul-Refining Array in that flying Magic Tool would be enough to directly arrest the Soul of the junior here, but he didn’t expect that she was still calm until now to not have dripped blood to be recognised as Owner.
There was a haze and determination in his eyes. If Lou Mu Yan still had not yet dripped blood, then he could only secretly break the rules of the competition space and go catch her in person.
Fortunately, he was currently one of the judges representing the Smithing Pavilion for this Tournament for Hegemony, otherwise it would’ve been more difficult to act.
He just hoped that Lou Mu Yan would just drip the blood herself as soon as possible to save him from risking himself to act.
Meanwhile, Lou Mu Yan, who he was hoping would fall into his trap, didn’t pay attention to the flying Magic Tool at all, but instead, put all her energy into the Earth Rank Sword Skill that was known to be insidious.
1so the ice bed is apparently made from something, but don’t know what it is because it was censored too lool. Maybe Thousand-Year-Old Profound Ice or something, who knows.
