Farmer Girl Reborn: I Play the Pig and Eat the Tiger in the World of Immortal Cultivation

The hustle and bustle inside the city gate forms a sharp contrast with the tranquility outside the city.

Yan Yue and Nong Jin walked hand in hand on the bustling street, surrounded by a crowd of people, with the sounds of hawking and bargaining coming one after another.

However, beneath this lively appearance, Yan Yue felt an undercurrent surging.

Many seemingly ordinary pedestrians actually emit subtle fluctuations of spiritual energy. These spiritual energies are mixed and impure, carrying a subtle hint of hostility.

Yan Yue was confused. Could it be that the underworld supernatural organization had already set up a tight net here?

She calmly held Nong Jin's hand, and the latter gave her a firm look, silently conveying support and strength.

In order to better observe the situation, they decided to find an inn to stay in first.

However, when they arrived at the most famous "Yue Lai Inn" in the city, they were told that the inn was full.

The innkeeper, Manager Li, looked apologetic and explained, "I'm so sorry, gentlemen. There's an auction going on in the city recently, and we're so overwhelmed with customers that we don't have any rooms available."

Yan Yue was about to find another place to stay when he heard an arrogant voice coming from the inn: "Boss, prepare two more rooms for me. I want the best!"

A burly man in brocade clothes swaggered out, followed by a group of flattering followers.

This person is none other than Long Batian, a frequent visitor to the auction.

Yan Yue recognized him and remembered that he had met this man in other towns before. Every time he met him, he relied on his wealth and power to act arrogantly.

It seems that he has booked quite a few rooms in Yuelai Inn this time.

Yan Yue stepped forward and said, "Boss, we only need an ordinary room. Could you please accommodate us?"

Long Batian glanced at Yan Yue and said disdainfully, "Just like you guys, you want to stay at Yuelai Inn? Don't you consider your status? I have plenty of money, I can do whatever I want with this inn."

Nong Jin stepped forward, protecting Yan Yue behind him, staring at Long Batian with cold eyes, a powerful pressure emanating from him.

The air seemed to freeze and the surrounding temperature dropped suddenly.

Yan Yue pulled Nong Jin's sleeve, signaling him to be patient.

She took out a radiant pill from her storage bag without any haste, handed it to Shopkeeper Li, and said, "Shopkeeper, the value of this 'Qingling Pill' is no less than the rent Long Batian gave me. You can do whatever you want with it."

Shopkeeper Li took the pill and his eyes lit up.

Qingling Pill is a rare treasure that can quickly restore spiritual power and is priceless to practitioners.

He immediately put on a smiling face and said respectfully to Yan Yue, "Dear guests, please go upstairs. I will arrange the best rooms for you!"

Seeing this, Long Batian's face turned pale, but he didn't dare to say anything more. He glared at Yan Yue fiercely and walked away.

Yan Yue and Nong Jin followed Shopkeeper Li upstairs and came to a room with a wide view.

Yan Yue stood by the window, looking down at the bustling crowd below, thinking to herself, "This auction seems to be more complicated than I imagined..." She turned to look at Nong Jin, "It seems that we have to be careful." Nong Jin nodded, a gleam in his eyes, "I'll take care of everything."

As night fell and the lights came on, the lights of Yuelai Inn were particularly bright in the night. There was a knock on the door...

The knock on the door interrupted Yan Yue's thoughts.

When the door opened, Shopkeeper Li stood outside, hunched over, holding an exquisite wooden box. "My two distinguished guests, this is some spiritual tea and snacks I specially prepared for you, as well as some brochures about tomorrow's auction. Please accept them."

Yan Yue took the wooden box and rewarded him with a few spirit stones. Shopkeeper Li thanked him profusely and retreated.

After closing the door, Yan Yue opened the wooden box, and a fresh fragrance wafted into his nose.

She picked up the booklet and started flipping through it. It detailed the process and items of the auction. One of the treasures, called "Xuanbing Jade", caught her attention.

Xuanbing Jade, a rare treasure that is rarely seen in a thousand years, contains powerful ice-attribute spiritual power, which is the key to her improving her strength.

"It seems that we must get this Xuanbing Jade." Yan Yue closed the booklet with a firm look in his eyes.

Nong Jin gently held her hand and said, "No matter what, I will accompany you to get that treasure." His deep eyes were full of tenderness and determination, as if they could melt all the ice and snow in the world.

Yan Yue looked into his eyes, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart.

In her previous life, she struggled to survive alone in the world of immortal cultivation, and was eventually killed.

But now, she has Nong Jin's company and the opportunity to start over. She will never let the tragedy happen again.

Late at night, the two men were whispering about their plans for tomorrow's auction.

Outside the window, the night was as dark as ink, and the shrill cries of birds coming from afar added a bit of eerie atmosphere.

Yan Yue felt a little uneasy when he thought of the underworld supernatural organization that had not yet appeared.

She stood up and walked to the window, looking at the flickering lights in the distance, and whispered, "Jin, I'm a little worried..." She turned to look at Nong Jin, "I want to go find Shopkeeper Li and ask him about the underworld supernatural organization."

Nong Jin walked to her and gently put his arm around her shoulders, "Be careful." His voice was low and powerful, like a solid barrier that protected her.

Yan Yue nodded, gently pushed open the door, and disappeared into the night.

Yan Yue tiptoed out of the room. The corridor was quiet, with only the dim light shining on the ground, elongating her figure.

The backyard of the inn was pitch black, with only a few dim lanterns swaying in the wind.

Following her memory, she walked towards Shopkeeper Li's room.

Suddenly, a cold breath came from behind.

Yan Yue's heart was filled with alarm and she turned around suddenly. A black spiritual blade flew past her cheek and left a deep scratch on the wall behind her.

"Who is it!" Yan Yue shouted in a low voice, and at the same time summoned his own defensive magic weapon.

A man in black flashed out from the darkness, holding a pitch-black dagger in his hand, emitting a cold light.

The man in black moved like lightning and attacked Yan Yue again.

"Yuer!" Nong Jin's voice came from behind.

His figure flashed and he stood in front of Yan Yue. A golden light flashed in his hand, and a long sword appeared in his hand, colliding with the dagger of the man in black, making a sharp metal collision sound.

The two exchanged blows for several rounds, the man in black's moves fierce and deadly, while Nong Jin responded calmly, using exquisite swordsmanship, both offensive and defensive.

"Shadow Assassin!" Yan Yue recognized the identity of the man in black and his heart sank.

The Shadow Assassin is a killer from an underworld supernatural organization, known for his ruthless methods and his elusive appearance and disappearance.

Their appearance means that the underworld supernatural organization has set its sights on them.

The battle between Nong Jin and the shadow assassin became more and more intense. The tables, chairs and benches in the backyard of the inn were affected by the spiritual power and shattered into pieces.

The shadow assassin seemed to realize that he couldn't win the battle quickly, and he disappeared into the night in a flash.

Nong Jin did not pursue him. He looked around cautiously, and after making sure the shadow assassin had left, he turned to look at Yan Yue, "Are you okay?"

Yan Yue shook her head and said, "I'm fine, thanks to your timely appearance." She was terrified. If it weren't for Nong Jin, she would probably have died on the spot.

"It seems that the underworld supernatural organization is more troublesome than we thought." Nong Jin frowned, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.

This is just a tentative attack, the real danger is yet to come.

Yan Yue took a deep breath and tried to stay calm.

This encounter made her realize more clearly that the underworld supernatural organization is a huge threat.

In such a complicated situation, how can they successfully obtain the Xuanbing Jade at the auction?

This is not only related to her improvement of strength, but also to whether they can fight against the underworld supernatural organization and avenge their previous life.

She looked at Nong Jin, her eyes filled with determination, "We must be cautious and take every step carefully."
