Joining the Joyful Union Sect, My Life in the Grip of My Senior Sister

Chapter 201: The Beautiful Hostess

The hostess wore a rabbit mask, revealing only her delicate chin and luscious red lips.

A long black cheongsam clung to her exquisite figure, exuding an irresistible allure.

With grace and poise, her every movement exuded confidence and charm. When she walked, her long, shapely legs caught everyone’s attention.

Zuo Yueting glanced at the crowd with a satisfied smile, then moved gracefully toward the round stone table.

She parted her red lips and a melodious voice filled the air.

“Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to this special auction. I believe you are all here for the top-grade Soul Separation Pill.”

“The effects of the top-grade Soul Separation Pill need no further explanation; I’m sure you all understand, so I won’t elaborate.”

“The seller does not need any spirit stones; he only wants to exchange them for healing elixirs that are useful for the Soul Severing Realm.”

“The rules are simple: please leave the details of the elixirs you possess on the jade slips. The vendor will make the final decision as to whom to exchange with.”

The crowd fell into a thoughtful silence, speculating that the vendor must have a severely injured Soul Severing Realm expert by his side.

Otherwise, the seller wouldn’t be so eager to exchange a top-grade Soul Separation Pill for a Healing Elixir.

The reason for using blind bidding instead of an open auction was twofold. First, it created psychological pressure, encouraging everyone to put forward their best elixirs.

Second, it prevented the exposure of the elixirs people possessed, which could lead to identity guesses and unnecessary trouble.

Seeing the eager expressions of the crowd, Zuo Yueting smiled gently. “Please place your bids on the jade slips now.”

“Each person only has one chance to bid, and random bidding is strictly forbidden, otherwise you will never be welcomed again!”

With a wave of her hand, several jade slips flew to the people in the crowd, waiting for them to place their bids.

“Luo Xue, could the injured person be one of those from that day?” Lin Fengmian asked.

“Very likely, but if it’s them, it will be easier to deal with!” Luoxue said confidently.

She picked up a jade slip, wrote down her conditions, and then waited calmly.

Soon, everyone had submitted their bids. Zuo Yueting collected the jade slips from the crowd and smiled. “Please wait a moment.”

She turned around and gracefully walked away, leaving the crowd to wait in the hall.

Lin Fengmian could not help but ask nervously, “Luo Xue, can we get the elixir?”

However, Luo Xue was confident and nonchalantly replied, “It’s almost certain. I will just leave it up to you; this will be a good experience for you.”

Lin Fengmian was taken aback as Luo Xue had already transferred control of the body to him.

At that moment, the beautiful hostess gracefully walked back.

Zuo Yueting bent down slightly and smiled at Lin Fengmian, “Fellow Daoist, congratulations. The seller has decided to trade with you. Please follow me.”

The others couldn’t help but feel disappointed, and some even stood up in a fit of anger.

“This is impossible. I offered two high-quality Reversal Elixirs. How could they not choose me?”

Zuo Yueting smiled slightly, releasing a chill that enveloped the area.

“Valued guest, we are simply following the seller’s wishes. Please don’t make it difficult for us.”

Feeling the oppressive aura, the man turned pale and stumbled back a few steps, not daring to make a scene.

“This hostess is also a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator. This Northern Abyss Black Market is quite interesting,” Luo Xue said with interest.

Although others didn’t dare to cause trouble in the black market, they still tried to offer Lin Fengmian various conditions to obtain the elixir.

A cloaked figure pulled out a sharp longsword and said anxiously, “Fellow Daoist, I can trade you a top-grade magical tool!”

Another female cultivator pulled back her black robe, revealing her seductive figure and trying her best to seduce him.

“Fellow Daoist, I really need that top-grade Soul Separation Pill. If you’re willing to trade with me, I’ll do anything you want.”

She threw a jade token at him, “Fellow Daoist, if you change your mind, come find me. I’ll be waiting for you.”

Surprised, Lin Fengmian caught the jade token, and the female cultivator beamed and flirtatiously said, “Fellow Daoist, I’m waiting for your good news.”

Seeing him accept the jade token, others followed suit, and soon, various disposable communication jade tokens were flying toward Lin Fengmian.

Lin Fengmian fumbled to catch all the jade tokens, especially the suggestive ones from the female cultivators, which left him in a state of both amusement and exasperation.

However, since he intended to draw attention, he didn’t mind collecting these jade tokens, which were likely embedded with various tracking spells.

The cultivators’ levels were clear to him; most of them were at the Nascent Soul Realm, and one was even a Soul Severing Realm cultivator.

Lin Fengmian quietly accepted the jade token from the Soul Severing Realm cultivator, planning to destroy it later.

When Zuo Yueting saw that Lin Fengmian accepted all the jade slips without hesitation, she couldn’t help but look at him with a hint of surprise.

Is this person really oblivious to the dangers, or does he have some sort of backing?

But she didn’t say anything. Instead, she smiled slightly and said, “This esteemed guest, please follow me.”

Lin Fengmian replied with a calm nod and followed the hostess to the back courtyard, occasionally admiring her graceful figure as she walked ahead.

While watching the swaying silhouette in front of him, he asked, “Luo Xue, what should I do next?”

Luo Xue coolly replied, “There’s a bottle of green jade pills in my storage ring. Take it out and give him two of them.”

Lin Fengmian understood and asked curiously, “Luo Xue, are you also trying to fish for something?”

Luo Xue had deliberately let him, with his weak cultivation and lack of experience, control the body, and now she was letting him display two spirit pills in front of everyone.

This was clearly telling others, “I have a lot of good treasures, but I am very weak. Come and rob me!”

He hadn’t expected that while he wanted to show off, Luo Xue was actually planning to play the role of a tiger in sheep’s clothing.

Luo Xue sneered, “You’re not as stupid as you look. Yeah, you don’t need me to teach you anymore, right?”

Her target wasn’t the group of cultivators outside, but the people in this underground auction house.

As soon as they were tempted by greed to rob Lin Fengmian, she would take the opportunity to turn the tables on them.

Lin Fengmian was speechless and sighed, “I didn’t expect you to do such a thing.”

Luo Xue coolly replied, “If it weren’t for you, would I need to do this? If they don’t have any greed, they won’t fall for it.”

She was just hoping for a lucky break to see if these people in the underground market had the pills Lin Fengmian needed.

The chances were slim, but what if they did?

Lin Fengmian had no reaction. Her words made sense, but how could human nature resist temptation?

Understanding Luo Xue’s plan, he relaxed and followed the well-figured hostess without a care.

Zuo Yueting naturally noticed Lin Fengmian’s gaze and his curious, wandering eyes, and she couldn’t help but laugh inwardly.

This was clearly a rookie who was completely unaware of the need to be discreet and hide his skills.

She wondered which family’s young master or which major sect’s novice disciple he could be, to be so oblivious to the dangers.

He would probably end up with his body dumped in the wilderness or completely destroyed by tomorrow.
