The villain is utterly immoral; with a dragon charging right in his face, how could he possibly lose

In the top-floor private room of Wanbaolou, Chu Yao looked somewhat irritated and spoke impatiently.

“Master Xiao, I can only offer you 100 million high-grade spirit stones for your pills. If you think that’s not enough, you can go to other merchant guilds.”

Sending customers to other chambers of commerce is an blatant attempt to drive them away.

Chu Yao had no choice; this man in black robes was such a bargainer, haggling over every penny.

They even want her to lose money in business.

Chu Yao's restraint in refraining from cursing already demonstrates her exceptionally good character.

At this moment, she missed Gu Qing a little.

Although Gu Qing is cunning, he is also a very straightforward person.

As long as they can make a profit, they don't care how much she can earn as a result; they understand the principle of win-win cooperation.

Unlike this young man in front of her, who made her do business at a loss, making it seem like she was running a charity.

"Didn't we just agree on 150 million? Why is it decreasing instead of increasing? Is Fairy Chu trying to play a trick on me?"

The young man, shrouded in a black robe, spoke in an aged voice, yet revealed the hands of a young boy.

He was taken aback at first, then said angrily.

"Sorry, I miscalculated just now," Chu Yao said expressionlessly.

She had just planned to do business at a loss because she wanted to befriend this young alchemist.

Thinking that even if they lost money this time, they could make it back next time.

But now she doesn't want to make friends anymore.

Cooperation is based on the premise that both parties can benefit.

Even if you befriend such a greedy alchemist, you'll always end up losing out.

Then what's the point of her making friends?

"Mistaken calculation? Ha, it seems your Wanbaolou doesn't welcome this old man. So be it."

The black-robed youth sneered, feigned anger, said something, and got up to leave.

As he reached the door, Chu Yao didn't say anything to stop him, and his heart sank, leaving him in a difficult situation.

To be honest, he knew that Chu Yao had already offered the highest price.

But who would complain about making too much money?

If they leave and go somewhere else, they definitely won't be able to sell it for 150 million.

"Master, is there anything else?"

Chu Yao narrowed her alluring fox-like eyes, the corners of her eyes turning upwards, revealing a mocking expression.

Her expression was alluring and seductive.

She resembles a peerless enchantress who manipulates people's hearts.

"..."

Damn it!

The boy in black robes cursed under his breath.

If we don't leave now, we'll be handing over our face to Chu Yao.

But he really can't leave.

Because the Wanbaolou once-in-a-century auction is about to be held.

There must be some treasure he needs inside.

He originally intended to sell the elixir and then ask for an auction invitation, hoping to gain some opportunity at the auction.

"Master, I have other matters to attend to, so please excuse me."

Upon receiving Gu Qing's message, Chu Yao was overjoyed. She lost interest in teasing the man in black and, after saying a few words, got up and left.

He then telepathically instructed his subordinates to treat the man in black robes well.

……

On the other side, Gu Qing and Su Qingyue rode on auspicious clouds, transcending the mundane world, as if celestial beings had descended to earth.

Upon arriving at the Wanbaolou Auction House, they saw the graceful and charming Chu Yao standing at the entrance.

"Fairy Chu, it's been a long time," Gu Qing said with a smile.

Qingzhou is hundreds of millions of miles away from the Great Qian Empire, but he was not surprised at all to see Chu Yao here.

After all, she is the daughter of the president of the Wanbaolou Chamber of Commerce.

"It has been a long time since we last met. Young Master Gu is even more charming than before."

Chu Yao smiled like a seductive fox, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Su Qingyue and asked, "May I ask this fairy's name?"

"This is my junior sister, Su Qingyue."

"Su Qingyue? Could it be Su Qingyue who became a disciple of Sage Zhimeng? Are you also a disciple of Sage Zhimeng?"

Chu Yao exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes."

Gu Qing nodded slightly.

Just as I expected... Chu Yao understood.

She had always felt that the people from the Star Temple descended upon the Great Qian Empire because of Gu Qing.

Although she didn't know Su Qingyue personally, Su Qingyue's name was very well-known.

Su Qingyue was originally the most beautiful woman in Qingzhou and possessed the Taiyin Divine Body.

With the publicity from the Moon Gazing Holy Land over the past three days, almost all the cultivators in Qingzhou knew that she had become a disciple of a Saint Realm expert.

In addition, she also learned that Su Qingyue had become the Holy Maiden of the Star Temple.

Gu Qing, as her senior brother, should be more talented than Su Qingyue, right?

After all, the two went to the Starry Sky Temple together, but Zhi Meng took Gu Qing in first.

Perhaps Gu Qing is a legendary supreme deity.

Many thoughts flashed through her mind, and Chu Yao became even more enthusiastic towards the two of them.

They were invited to the best private room, the "Heavenly Class," where rare spiritual fruits and snacks were served.

Chu Yao personally poured a cup of iced tea for the two of them and said with a smile, "Young Master Gu, it's been three years since we last met, and I've missed you terribly."

"..."

There is nothing wrong with that.

But it sounds strange coming from this fairy's mouth.

Gu Qing picked up the teacup and took a sip. A refreshing sensation rushed into his mind, and he immediately felt refreshed.

This tea is excellent; it can even help someone at the Profound Core Realm achieve enlightenment.

If Gu Qing hadn't possessed such profound inner strength, he would have broken through to a higher realm after just one cup.

"Fairy Chu..."

"Just call me Chu Yao, or Yao Yao, or Yao'er. Calling me Fairy is too formal."

Chu Yao, acting as if she were already familiar with someone, sat down next to Gu Qing.

A delicate fragrance wafted over, making Gu Qing's blood and energy restless.

He glanced at her out of the corner of his eye; her snow-white, high-mountain shape was perfectly round and full.

He quickly recited the Heart-Cleansing Mantra three times before speaking.

"Chu Yao, how about we make a deal?"

"What kind of deal?" Chu Yao suddenly became interested. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, she leaned forward, her face beaming with a charming smile.

"Vixen..." Su Qingyue, watching from the side, was furious and cursed under her breath.

She was already aloof, but now she was even colder, as if her whole being was radiating chill.

Seeing this, Chu Yao not only didn't feel guilty, but became even more enthusiastic.

She dislikes women who are aloof and cold.

Who are you trying to impress with that serious demeanor all the time?

"I want to buy a batch of demonic beasts, as many as you want."

"However, I might not have that many spirit stones..."

Now that Gu Qing has joined the Star God Palace, he should naturally make good use of his advantages to become stronger.

He has no interest in being like the protagonist, relying on himself for everything.

"Small things."

Chu Yao twirled a strand of hair with her jade-like fingers, smiled charmingly, and explained, "Actually, our chamber of commerce has always had preferential policies for prodigies, such as 20% discounts, credit, and assistance in collecting resource information, etc..."

Although it's unclear what Gu Qing wants so many demonic beasts for, one can guess that they're probably for body tempering.

"Then it's settled."

"By the way, I have some treasures here. Let's see if we can put them up for auction."

Gu Qing took out Lin Yang's broken magic weapon.

The most valuable items are the three Heaven-rank magic treasures and the one King-rank magic treasure.

They were all broken and damaged, or missing a piece.

It could be used, but its power was limited, so Gu Qing naturally wouldn't consider it.

As for the Sun God Furnace, Gu Qing had no intention of selling the artifact.

"..."

What a cold and boring man… Chu Yao muttered.

Every time he made money off her, he would try to walk away, which made her furious.

She just couldn't understand it. Was the spirit stone even one ten-thousandth as fragrant as her?

Couldn't you be a little bolder and pursue her?

She's easy to pursue.

That's what she thought, but on the surface, Chu Yao smiled and agreed, carefully examining the item.

After a moment, she nodded and said, "Young Master Gu's items are estimated to be worth four to five billion high-grade spirit stones, but the exact price will only be known after the final auction result."

"Then trouble you."

This little devil may be a bit unconventional, but she's really reliable when it comes to getting things done.

"Easy to say, easy to say!"

"It's getting late, I have to go and preside over the auction, please excuse me for a moment."

After saying that, Chu Yao swayed her graceful waist and left, every move exuding charm, a veritable reincarnation of a bewitching enchantress.

After Chu Yao left, Su Qingyue called out "Senior Brother" with a hint of grievance.

However, she didn't say anything like she disliked Chu Yao.

Although she disliked Chu Yao, she wouldn't interfere in Gu Qing's affairs.

On the other side, Chu Yao left the private room, looking depressed.

"Miss, what's wrong with you?"

The old woman asked in surprise.

This was the first time she had ever seen anything that could make her young mistress, this little devil, so upset.

"Do you think I'm not pretty enough?" Chu Yao asked.

"how could be?"

"Miss, you are a stunning beauty, with a smile that can charm a hundred men, a bewitching enchantress who has captivated countless talents."

"Moreover, Miss, you possess a superior divine body, combining beauty, talent, and wealth. Any goddess or saint would pale in comparison to you."

"Miss, how could you have such a wrong idea?"

The old woman's flattery hit the nail on the head, making Chu Yao feel instantly comfortable.

He wondered, "But why is that rascal Gu Qing so indifferent to me?"

"..."

The old woman remained silent for a while.

So it turns out my little devil is intoxicated by his own irresistible charm.

“I’m easy to pursue. I’ve been so proactive, why is Gu Qing acting like a block of wood?” she said again.

"..."

Miss, would you like to listen to what you're saying?

Is she easy to pursue?

If those ambitious young men who are pursuing you heard this, they'd probably vomit blood.

"By the way, where did you copy your ancestral precepts?"

Seeing that the old woman did not answer for a long time, Chu Yao asked with a smile.

"Oh, this..." I was careless.

The old woman was extremely annoyed.

How could I possibly let my mind wander in front of Miss?

"I've already copied two million words... I think!" she said weakly.

"Yes, copy it carefully, and be sure to remember the ancestral teachings."

After saying that, she swayed her slender waist and left with a captivating charm.

The old woman nodded, feeling extremely fortunate.

If she was unwilling to copy before, now she is copying willingly.

Fortunately, the young lady kept the ancestral teachings in mind and did not commit a grave mistake in the Great Qian Empire; otherwise, her ten thousand years of arduous cultivation would have been in vain.
