The forbidden love between a ghost and a villain

Wen Yu looked around curiously, and the magnificent decorations dazzled her.

He reached out and gently stroked the mahogany chair beside him, feeling its smooth touch.

On the dome above your head, the patterns of the sun, moon and stars are so lifelike that they seem to be within reach.

Li Chengze's gaze suddenly froze. He saw a person he never wanted to see again in this life - the demon cultivator Gu Changqing.

Gu Changqing's appearance means that the person must be nearby.

Sure enough, behind Gu Changqing was a woman dressed in black veil.

Li Chengze's pupils dilated and he glared angrily.

It was really her, the young master of the demon clan who had tortured him for decades.

The witch lady in the eyes of the demons - Lan Yingying.

In an instant, Li Chengze's blood boiled, and he tried hard to suppress the urge to draw his sword and kill Lan Yingying.

The soul line in his hand glowed faintly, pulling back his sanity which was about to collapse.

The four guardians of the demon clan are all here, so he cannot act rashly.

Hua Wuxie noticed something was wrong with Li Chengze.

"Sixth Junior Brother, what happened?"

"It's okay, I saw something dirty." Li Chengze tried to remain calm.

Hua Wuxie looked around and didn't find anything unusual.

In order to find out what was wrong with Li Chengze, he instructed Wen Yu:

"Lao Wu, go to the corner and buy some food.

Since I finally got out, I have to try some black market delicacies."

Then he threw a bag of spirit stones over and said, "The rest is yours."

"Okay, I'll be right back."

Wen Yu took the spirit stone and trotted away.

"Okay, I've sent Lao Wu out. Go ahead and talk."

Hua Wuxie looked at Li Chengze, waiting for his explanation.

Li Chengze chose to believe Hua Wuxie. He pointed at the woman who was about to go upstairs and said:

"That's the young master of the demon clan, Lan Yingying."

"What? Demon!"

Hua Wuxie looked in the direction Li Chengze pointed, and his expression became solemn.

"She is surrounded by the four great guardians of the demon race, each of whom is above the middle stage of the Nascent Soul stage."

Hua Wuxie smiled evilly, with a hint of playfulness in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.

"It looks like there are some good things at the auction house today."

"Are you lying when Third Brother denies recognizing me?"

"Everyone has secrets. I don't care how you met the demons. Just like me, I have secrets too."

Hua Wuxie had a look of disdain on his face. He didn't care about other people's secrets at all. He glanced at Li Chengze.

"Besides, some secrets are worthless once they are revealed."

The melodious bell rang, announcing the official start of the auction.

A woman in a red dress with green flowers walked up to the stage.

She has a pretty face and a clear and pleasant voice:

"Welcome to the Black Market Treasure Pavilion, everyone! The treasures at today's auction are sure to satisfy you."

The first things presented were several rare spiritual plants and medicines.

Hundred-year-old snow lotus, thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, ten-thousand-year-old red fruit...

These are all necessary materials for refining high-level elixirs.

This caused a commotion in the venue, with bidding sounds coming one after another.

Li Chengze and Hua Wuxie had little interest in these spiritual plants and medicines.

They are sword cultivators who focus more on improving their own cultivation. Pills are not necessary for them.

The next items to be auctioned are some mid-grade elixirs, such as spirit-nourishing elixirs, beauty-enhancing elixirs, and spiritual-replenishing elixirs, etc.

Although these pills are not as precious as high-level pills, they are also quite popular and the bidding is still enthusiastic.

Wen Yu had already returned to the Elegant Pavilion. Seeing that a beauty pill was sold for a hundred high-grade spirit stones, he could not help but gasp in amazement:

"It seems that female cultivators really have an easy time making money with spirit stones!"

The items to be auctioned later were rare treasures, sword embryos, black iron, powerful treasures, etc.

The atmosphere in the venue became increasingly heated, with bidding sounds rising one after another, almost blowing the roof off.

Li Chengze and Wen Yu watched with great interest, but they were short of money and could only satisfy their curiosity.

Hua Wuxie took a photo of a beauty pill, which attracted Li Chengze's ridicule:

"Third Brother, why did you buy the beauty pills?"

Hua Wuxie raised an eyebrow and smiled: "Of course I use it myself. What, do you have any objections?"

"No problem. I have too many spirit stones and nowhere to spend them. Why don't you give them to me? There's no need..."

The two of them were bickering back and forth, having a lively time.

Li Chengze suddenly thought of Shen Meng, "If only Meng'er were here, she would definitely like these rare treasures."

Finally, the finale product appeared.

It was a pitch-black egg, without any spiritual fluctuations, and looked ordinary.

The woman in red introduced: "This egg was found in the desolate land of the Northern Territory. It is said to contain ancient blood."

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar in the venue.

"Who knows if this egg is real or fake?"

"Yeah, who knows if there's a spirit beast with ancient bloodline in there?"

Everyone was talking about it and expressing doubts about the authenticity of the egg.

At this moment, a female voice rang out from the elegant pavilion on the fourth floor: "Five hundred high-grade spirit stones!"

The place instantly became quiet, and everyone looked up towards the fourth floor.

Then, someone on the fifth floor made a bid: "Eight hundred high-grade spirit stones!"

Hua Wuxie said with interest:

"It seems that today's good thing is this egg."

He then said, "One thousand high-grade spirit stones!"

When Wen Yu heard the price Hua Wuxie said, he immediately jumped up and down:

"Third Brother! Are you trying to save your life? You'll get caught for falsely raising the price!"

Hua Wuxie smiled indifferently: "Just for fun, I want to see what's so special about this egg."

Just as the words fell, the female voice from the fourth-floor pavilion rang out again: "Two thousand high-grade spirit stones!"

The fifth floor was not to be outdone: "Two thousand five hundred high-grade spirit stones!"

Hua Wuxie didn't even raise his eyelids as he directly called out the price: "Five thousand high-grade spirit stones!"

The woman on the fourth floor said to the man next to her:

"Let's go see who owns it. I want this egg."

"Yes."

The man took the order and went straight to the elegant pavilion where Li Chengze and the others were.

Li Chengze saw who was coming and it was Gu Changqing.

Gu Changqing bowed and saluted:

"Sir, my lady wants this egg.

Please give it up, sir, and don't raise the price anymore.

This is the water dragon horn we prepared for you, young master."

Wen Yu looked at what was in Gu Changqing's hand and couldn't help but exclaimed:

"Wow, that's really generous!"

He turned to look at Hua Wuxie, his eyes full of questions.

Hua Wuxie glanced at the water dragon's horns and snorted coldly:

"Since you are so sincere, I will give you six thousand high-grade spirit stones."

Gu Changqing gritted his teeth and said, "Don't refuse my toast or drink the penalty wine!"

Hua Wuxie said nonchalantly, "It's an auction, the highest bidder wins, right?"

Gu Changqing left with a flick of his sleeves and returned to the fourth floor pavilion:

"My Lady Witch, they refuse to budge."

Lan Yingying snorted softly: "I know, we'll get it back after we get it out of the black market."

The guest from the elegant pavilion on the fifth floor also gave up bidding. He was just curious about the origin of the egg, and it was not convenient for him to carry too many spirit stones when going out.

In the end, Hua Wuxie bought the black egg at a sky-high price of six thousand high-grade spirit stones.

"Third Brother, that's a water dragon horn, why don't you want it?" Wen Yu looked puzzled.

"What do you need this Yang-tonifying medicine for? Are you in need of it?"

"What..." Wen Yu's face turned red.

A moment later, Xiao Ling came to Ya Ge holding the black egg and bowed respectfully:

"Sir, this is your item. It's a soul-nourishing seed given by our leader. I'm sure you'll need it."

"Not bad, there are gifts!"

Li Chengze took the soul-nourishing seeds from Xiao Ling, thinking that he would give both the soul stone and seeds to Shen Meng after he left.

"Excuse me, sir, how would you like to pay the spirit stones?" Xiao Ling's voice sounded at the right time.

Hua Wuxie casually threw out a plaque made of fine white jade with a gold border, on which was carved a lifelike nine-tailed fox:

"Here, remember to withdraw the money and send it back to me."

Xiao Ling saw the pattern of the jade token and her expression changed immediately.

He held it carefully with trembling hands and exited the Accord, not daring to be negligent.

She recognized it as the crest of the Nine-Tailed Clan.

A quarter of an hour later, Xiao Ling returned the jade token tremblingly, with an obviously more respectful attitude.

Wen Yu was stunned: "So Third Senior Brother is the invisible rich man, why didn't I notice it before?"

"Third Brother, what did they see that made them treat you with such respect?"

Hua Wuxie took back the jade token and said with a playful look, "Guess."

Just now, Li Chengze also saw the nine-tailed fox carved on the jade plaque.

I couldn't help but be shocked, and realized that Hua Wuxie also had a secret.

Suddenly, Xiao Hei's voice sounded in Li Chengze's mind:

"Master, there's something strange about this egg."
