Xie Wanning looked up and met a pair of alluring eyes.
Her purple eyes held fear and unease, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, her fair and flawless skin glowed with a faint pink, and her thin lips were like red plum blossoms in the snow. The woman's slender hand lifted a stray strand of hair, and her long, black hair cascaded down like a waterfall.
The woman wore a light red silk dress, with a fiery red tail hanging down to the ground behind her. Her ears drooped, and her eyes were already filled with tears, making her look pitiful and beautiful beyond compare.
Xie Wanning almost forgot to breathe, her eyes glued to the fox-man on the screen.
"Miss Xu, Miss Xu, wake up."
Xie Wanning was startled awake when she suddenly heard Qin Muyang's anxious voice.
Turning to look at the worried Qin Muyang beside her, Xie Wan Ning rubbed her dizzy head and said with difficulty, "What happened to me just now?"
“This fox spirit possesses innate bewitching arts; Miss Xu, you were bewitched by her,” Qin Muyang explained. “Fortunately, I learned about this fox spirit beforehand, which allowed me to avoid eye contact with her and thus avoid being bewitched. However, Miss Xu, how could you, a woman, be bewitched by a fox spirit?”
"Everyone has a love for beauty. I just glanced at it a couple more times." Xie Wanning admitted that this fox-person was the most beautiful demon she had ever seen, but she was actually quite ashamed that she had been captivated for so long.
"Hahaha!" Qin Muyang laughed so hard he couldn't stop, clutching his stomach as he laughed heartily.
Xie Wanning frowned, somewhat annoyed: "Doesn't Pavilion Master Qin love beautiful women?"
However, Xie Wanning immediately regretted her words. Qin Muyang was handsome and dashing; he must have had many suitors. How could he not favor a beautiful woman?
Qin Muyang stopped laughing and explained, "I have been wandering the martial world for many years, and I have had dealings with other sects and many people. Naturally, I have seen many beauties, so this is not surprising."
Xie Wanning knew she was right, smiled smugly, revealing two faint dimples.
However, he ignored the gaze that Qin Muyang was casting at him.
Xie Wanning continued to stare at the image on the projection stone and noticed that the other guests' bids were getting higher and higher, reaching ten thousand high-grade spirit stones.
The most valiant demon warriors previously possessed only five hundred high-grade spirit stones; indeed, everyone was deceived by this little fox demon.
However, this is normal. As the demon race with the best transformation ability, fox demons have outstanding appearances, and almost every fox demon is stunningly beautiful.
However, three hundred years ago, during the war for the demon kingship, after the great fox demon Qingqiu Ling was killed, the fox clan was besieged by the entire demon clan, and only a few fox demons escaped.
Fox spirits are a precious race of demons, and with their beautiful appearance, they can easily fetch a high price.
"Ten thousand high-grade spirit stones, that's an insane price! It seems Pavilion Master Qin is about to make a fortune again." Xie Wanning chuckled, while Qin Muyang, who was being watched, was still leisurely eating grapes.
The fox demon on the stage had tears in her eyes, and her body was trembling uncontrollably, making her look exceptionally pitiful.
Xie Wanning couldn't bear to see this scene, so she prepared to turn off the projection stone.
When Xie Wanning met the fox-man's gaze again, she suddenly felt dizzy, staggered a few steps, and fell to the ground.
"Miss Xu, what's wrong?" Qin Muyang hurriedly removed the grapes, helped Xie Wanning up, and led her to the table.
Xie Wanning felt her mind was in complete chaos. The fox demon's purple eyes kept appearing in her mind, and she seemed to have forgotten something important.
Fox demon?
Why did those eyes feel so familiar, as if she had seen them somewhere before?
"Buy her!" Xie Wanning clutched her forehead, almost fainting, and could only squeeze out these words through gritted teeth.
The auction price below the stage has already reached 50,000 high-grade spirit stones, and the price continues to rise.
Qin Muyang's face was somewhat gloomy. He quickly tapped the communication stone and announced the price: "One million high-grade spirit stones."
Instantly, no one made any more bids.
I've seen prices increased, but I've never seen prices increased twentyfold!
So, the fox demon was bought for one million high-grade spirit stones.
Xie Wanning's headache gradually subsided. When she regained consciousness and heard Qin Muyang's offer, she was so shocked that she became incoherent.
"Sect Master Qin, even if you control the black market, you can't just set prices arbitrarily!" Xie Wan Ning's eyes were red with anxiety as she paced back and forth in the room.
The eight major sects spent one million high-grade spirit stones to summon cultivators from the entire cultivation world to hunt down Xu Weilin.
Now, Qin Muyang has spent one million high-grade spirit stones to buy a fox demon.
"How can I ever repay you?!" Xie Wanning squatted on the ground, covering her head, secretly regretting why she had suddenly gone crazy.
"Pfft!" Qin Muyang let out a clear laugh: "Hahaha! Miss Xu, I've never seen you so anxious before, it's really amusing."
Xie Wanning was both ashamed and angry, and stamped her feet anxiously: "Qin Muyang, you, you wake up! That's a million high-grade spirit stones! How can you just spend them like that?"
Looking at Xie Wanning's puffed-up face, she looked just like an angry pufferfish.
Qin Muyang's laughter finally stopped. He wiped away the tears of laughter from the corners of his eyes and explained, "Miss Xu, don't worry. This fox demon was captured by my subordinates. It doesn't need to be bought with a million high-grade spirit stones. Just give my subordinates a certain amount of wages and a reward. There are teams in the black market that specialize in finding treasures. Preparing some peerless treasures for the black market's auction house is the only way to make the black market famous."
"Moreover, even if it really is one million high-grade spirit stones, I can afford it," Qin Muyang said magnanimously.
Xie Wanning let out a long sigh of relief before collapsing back into her seat: "You really gave me a fright."
"Miss Xu, are you so concerned about my money that you're after my money?" Qin Muyang joked.
Xie Wanning blushed: "No way! It's just that I'm not used to someone spending so much money on me. I just feel guilty."
Xie Wanning felt that Qin Muyang's few words were enough to make her panic and act rashly; he was truly a cunning person.
Qin Muyang smiled without saying a word, looking at the vibrant Xie Wanning with boundless joy in his heart.
The subsequent auction proceeded without much fanfare.
Until a bottle of poison appeared.
"Everyone, this is a bottle of poison without an antidote. It can dissolve in water, soil, and even air." Guo Futing carefully picked up a sealed bottle of poison, his eyes full of caution. "Moreover, the poison evaporates extremely quickly. It only takes the time it takes for an incense stick to burn to kill someone silently. It has a fitting name: 'Flying Feather'."
The crowd instantly erupted in excitement, and the price soared from one thousand high-grade spirit stones to ten thousand high-grade spirit stones.
Xie Wanning yawned, feeling rather bored. She preferred a straightforward attack method to poison.
However, Qin Muyang tapped the table with great interest and finally won the bottle of poison with 100,000 high-grade spirit stones.
"Whose work is this again?" Xie Wanning stopped herself from sleeping and got up to ask.
"No, it's a seller's item that's appearing on the black market for the first time," Qin Muyang answered truthfully, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes.
"Then be careful, this poison sounds very potent." Xie Wanning stretched her body and peeled an orange to eat.
Qin Muyang replied softly, "Mm."
The auction finally ended, and Qin Muyang and Xie Wanning emerged from the spatial stone. At that moment, a subordinate dressed in all black came forward, handed Qin Muyang a piece of paper, and then immediately left.
Xie Wanning saw her subordinates blending into the darkness in the distance and couldn't help but laugh, "Your subordinates are all dressed in black and wear black masks. No wonder it's called the Black Market."
Unexpectedly, after Qin Muyang finished reading the contents of the paper, there was obvious worry in his eyes, and his tone was low: "Miss Xu, I have found out the information you need."
