Chapter 72: Chapter 71 The Miserable Ending of Luo Kun

The Miserable Ending of Luo Kun

While Xue Bai was conflicted at the feeling of being plotted against by his own maid, the bidding for the Spirit Cleansing Fruit ended. After all, the 5000 Spirit Stones was a price that most people wouldn't even earn in a lifetime, let alone be able to spend for a single Natural Treasure.

"The Noble Guests in our VIP Booth win the bid for the Spirit Cleansing Fruit bringing our Golden Hall Auction Houses annual Auction to an end. For guests who won a bid, please find an attendant to hand the Spirit Stones to where you will receive your prize." Ling Yun announced as she slammed her gavel for the last time.

Soon after Ling Yun slammed her gavel, a knock sounded from the door of Xue Bai's booth.

"Noble Guests, it's Yan Chenyu. May I enter?" Yan Chenyu asked politely from outside.

Looking over at Xiao'er, Xue Bai nodded.

Knowing what he meant, Xiao'er spoke out, "You can enter Miss Yan."

After gaining permission to enter, Yan Chenyu first bowed as a greeting before stating her purpose.

"Nobles Guests, I have the Spirit Cleansing Fruit. And the Lava Essence Sword with me, but first, Golden Hall Auction House needs the payment." Yan Chenyu spoke.

Xue Bai could hear that the girl was speaking respectfully on the surface, but he knew that she was merely posturing and keeping up an appearance.

After all, she had the Golden Hall Auction House behind her and Li Rou, who backed it.  In her mind, no matter how prestigious Xue Bai's background was, he would still have to cough up the money.

Though Xue Bai knew he could easily do a face-slapping act here, it would most likely reveal their identities if he did so. So he simply pulled out a Spatial Ring he prepared before and handed it to Xiao'er.

"Inside the Spatial Ring is 5000 Spirit Stones, including the Spatial Ring. That should be enough," Xiao'er spoke as she handed the ring over to Yan Chenyu.

A Spatial Ring, at minimum, would be a Peak Yellow Grade item. And the one that Xue Bai handed over was Wang Mo's, making it more expensive than usual. So the 5550 Spirit Stone bill was easily covered by the Spatial Ring and its contents.

Taking it, Yan Chenyu calmly put it in her pocket before going into her own.

Surprised that Yan Chenyu didn't check the Spatial Ring and count the Spirit Stones, Xiao'er asked, "Miss Yan aren't you going to inspect the amount?"

"This Noble Guest is joking. I am not in the Qi Sea Realm and don't have Spiritual Sense yet. If I had to count the Spirit Stones, it would take a few minutes at least for me to count this many. Also, since you are able to own a VIP membership card to our Golden Hall Auction House, you surely wouldn't scam us." Yan Chenyu answered calmly as she pulled out a familiar-looking case.

Finding the reason acceptable, Xiao'er didn't ask anymore and calmly took the case from Yan Chenyu's hand.

"Then Noble Guests, Yan Chenyu will take her leave." After completing her job, Yan Chenyu once again bowed respectfully and left the booth.

Now alone again, Xiao'er handed the case to Xue Bai.

"Young Master, why did you bid for it? If you revealed your identity, you could've just taken it for free." Xiao'er asked curiously.

"Because Xiao'er, you told me not to reveal my identity. Also though I am the Young Master of this Auction House, if I take the Spirit Cleansing Fruit without paying for it, Golden Hall Auction House would lose a massive amount of reputation." Xue Bai responded as he palmed his forehead.

"How would it lose reputation?" Xiao'er asked curiously as she moved closer to Xue Bai.

"Because the Spirit Cleansing Fruit was the heart of this auction. People like Luo Kun and Feng Wei had only come because of it. But if they came and it was snatched by me, the Young Master of Golden Hall Auction House, it would ruin its reputation." Xue Bai answered.

Nodding, Xiao'er then laid down on the lap of Xue Bai.

"Young Master, did you have fun today?" Xiao'er asked as she looked up at him from below.

Thinking for a minute, Xue Bai answered, "So far, yes. I've learned that Auctions are fun to attend. But don't you have any more plans? You can't end the day now. It's still only 6 pm. We have more time."

Excited at his words, Xiao'er nodded.

"Of course! How could I let our da- trip end so easily!" Xiao spoke, once again almost letting her true intentions out.

Then patting her forehead, Xue Bai said, "Then come on and take me on your next planned trip."

"Of course!" Standing up from Xue Bai's lap, Xiao'er put one hand on her hip, extending her other hand to Xue Bai, and spoke, "Follow me, Young Master! Today is going to get even better!"

Standing up with a smile, Xue Bai put the auction items in his Spatial Ring before taking the maid's extended hand.

Now hand in hand, the two cheerfully walked out of Golden Hall Auction House, ignoring the stunned gazes of the people they passed by. While outside, they found Luo Kun standing with a malicious look on his face.

"Wow! Who would have guessed the people who went against me were such beautiful budding beauties? Good! Both of you can be my concubines." Luo Kun spoke lustfully as he went to grab Xiao'er.

However, before he could, Xue Bai finally spoke up in public for the first time. Looking over into the alley to the side of Golden Hall Auction House, Xue Bai spoke calmly, "Don't kill him but make him regret his decision."

Luo Kun was confused at who Xue Bai was talking to, but thinking it to be a ploy, remained unphased and continued to grab at Xiao'er.

But sadly, he was never destined to reach the beautiful Xiao'er, as before he could, a terrifying pressure engulfed him.

As his face immediately turned pale, and scared for his life, Luo Kun's instinct took over, and he yelled for his protector.

"Uncle Chen, HELP!"

And almost instantly, a middle-aged man appeared in front of Luo Kun. The man looked to be in his late 40s and was around 50 percent similar to Luo Kun but had half a head of gray hair, showing that he was nearing the end of his lifespan.

And after appearing, the first thing the man called Uncle Chen did was dissipate the pressure that immobilized Luo Kun. Seeing his nephew's face regain its rosy color, the man looked at the source of the pressure.

"Fellow Daoist, can you forgive my ignorant nephew here? He didn't know these two Young Misses were protected by you." Uncle Chen cupped his fists in the direction of the alley.

Hearing such stupid words of negation come from Uncle Chen, Xue Bai wanted to fan the flames a little. But sadly, before he could order the Shadow Guard Squad Leader to stop, a wind blade flew out, decapitating Uncle Chen while severing the right arm of Luo Kun.

Sighing to himself, Xue Bai felt a little regretful at the lost chance to tease a Law Engraving Realm Powerhouse. However, there was no use in crying over spilled milk. So he merely blocked the eyesight of Xiao'er with one hand and took her hand with the other.

"Wait, Young Master, I'm fine! I've seen things like this." Xiao'er cried out.

"You don't have to see any more of this Xiao'er. You are my maid, not a fighter. Your life will be peaceful. Bloody things like this aren't something you should see anymore." Xue Bai answered arrogantly as he pulled Xiao'er out of the square.

Though Xue Bai knew that the world was cruel and greenhouse flowers weren't suitable for it, he still wanted Xiao'er to keep her cheerful and bright smile for as long as he could.

Though it was arrogant and a little greedy, so be it. The cultivation world was a place where arrogance got you places. And greed brought you even further.

Xiao'er, stunned at Xue Bai's dominance, merely nodded softly as she let herself be pulled away from the scene.

Since the square outside of Golden Hall Auction House wasn't very large, walking out of it didn't take long. And after taking his hand off the eyes of Xiao'er, Xue Bai asked what was next in her plan.

"Hehe! Follow me, Young Master. Celestial Maiden Xiao'er will guide you to your next destination!" But once again, Xiao'er didn't answer but merely took Xue Bai's hand and pulled him along.
