Chapter 106 The Auction Begins
"you like me?"
Lu Qianqian suppressed her anger and a faint smile appeared on her face.
With her elegant and graceful figure and unparalleled beauty, any man standing in front of her would probably find it difficult to remain calm, and might even fall head over heels for her.
"You like me?" Zhuo Yang asked in surprise, showing no sign of surrendering.
Lü Qianqian gritted her teeth and nodded.
"Who said that?" Zhuo Yang was inexplicably surprised, and his standing body suddenly trembled.
"Then what do you mean?" Lü Qianqian shouted, so angry that she was about to explode and almost couldn't help but want to take Zhuo Yang down with her.
I've never seen such a shameless guy. You don't like me, yet you've touched me inappropriately three times?
Or are you trying to take advantage of me?
Several thoughts flashed through her mind in an instant, making Lü Qianqian feel like her head was about to explode.
Zhuo Yang put on a serious expression and said, "I wouldn't say I like you, I just want to capture you, little phoenix!"
"You can call me Phoenix." Lü Qianqian's face turned cold as she glared at Zhuo Yang with hatred. "But you're not allowed to add the word 'little' before Phoenix. It makes me very unhappy!"
“Okay, Little Phoenix.” Zhuo Yang nodded in agreement.
Lu Qianqian almost exploded; her arm gripping the short blade was visibly trembling. She had come to understand just how terrifying Zhuo Yang's infuriating skills were.
"Whatever you want." Lü Qianqian took a deep breath and put on an elegant expression. "I can give you a chance to pursue me, on the condition that you join the Phoenix Pavilion!"
As the mysterious owner of Phoenix Pavilion, Lü Qianqian has been recruiting experts to join the Phoenix Pavilion. No one knows her purpose; it seems she is simply trying to expand and grow the pavilion.
Zhuo Yang shook his head and said indifferently, "I hate phoenixes."
"What?" Lü Qianqian frowned. "You hate Phoenix but still call me Little... Phoenix, what exactly do you mean by that?"
Zhuo Yang snorted softly: "I hate phoenixes, that's why I call you Little Phoenix, don't you understand?"
"You hate me?" Lü Qianqian's expression turned cold, and the short blade was pointed at Zhuo Yang again.
The atmosphere inside the room suddenly changed, the temperature dropped rapidly, and the two people who had been ambiguous suddenly became like enemies, exuding a sharp killing intent.
Zhuo Yang looked at Lü Qianqian and suddenly chuckled: "Little Phoenix, how about we put aside the question of whether I like you or not? Actually, what I want to do more right now is to catch you, and then have some romance and forget all the conflicts."
"Do you think I'd believe you?" Lü Qianqian asked coldly, her whole body radiating a chilling killing intent.
Zhuo Yang shook his head, feigning complete nonchalance, and walked towards the door.
"What are you going to do?" Lü Qianqian asked in a deep voice.
Zhuo Yang walked right past Lü Qianqian, without even noticing her short blade, and walked straight to the doorway of the room behind Lü Qianqian.
"Little Phoenix, what you said lacked spirit. Remember, no matter where you are or who your enemy is, you must never lower your spirit!"
Zhuo Yang raised an eyebrow at Lü Qianqian and opened the door.
Lu Qianqian was furious and whispered, "I don't need you to tell me what to do!"
"Not necessarily. I will become your husband, the husband you hate!" Zhuo Yang turned his head and gave him a confident look.
Lu Qianqian's heart skipped a beat for no reason, and she immediately bit her lip. She could tell that Zhuo Yang's gaze was definitely not meant to tease her.
You bastard, you think you can be my husband?
Even though you have high cultivation level and your cultivation speed is genius among geniuses, so what? I don't like you!
She tried to shout in her heart for a long time, but couldn't utter a single word. She just stood there, panting heavily.
Just then, a accusing shout came from the hallway outside the door—
"Who are you, and why are you here?"
"Tourist, my room is just ahead."
The response came from Zhuo Yang's voice.
"Cultivator?"
"Which eye of yours saw that I'm a cultivator? I'm just a rich man who's here to have fun!"
Upon hearing this, Lü Qianqian's lips curled into a disdainful smile.
"Damn it, you're quite good at pretending to be an ordinary person!"
Cursing under her breath, she flashed to the wardrobe, opened it, grabbed an evening gown, and quickly put it on. Then, she tousled her long hair, transforming herself into a dignified and serene noble lady in no time.
At this moment, two security guards dressed in black rushed in through the open door and surrounded Lü Qianqian.
Lu Qianqian feigned a terrified expression: "What are you doing? Why did you barge into my room?"
"You're not a cultivator?" a security guard in black asked.
"Of course not!" Lü Qianqian looked even more terrified.
"Uh……"
The two security guards exchanged a glance, then apologized and immediately left the room.
Lü Qianqian ran quickly to the door and slammed it shut.
She leaned against the door, a smile playing on her lips: "You jerk, you warned me to be careful of those security guards, couldn't you just say so directly? Why did you have to say something like 'be my husband'? Dream on!"
"This sect master is destined to ascend to immortality and will never have a husband!"
……
The sun had completely sunk below the horizon, the last glimmer of light in the sky had vanished, and everything in sight was plunged into darkness.
The cruise ship lit up its lights, but there wasn't a sound to be heard. The atmosphere on the ship was very strange, with a sense of silence as if it had been hijacked by pirates.
The tourists, persuaded by the captain, stayed in their rooms, and only the monks remained on board.
At nine o'clock in the evening, the doors of the No. 1 performance hall opened, and groups of cultivators from the same sect arrived one after another, and the auction began as scheduled.
In the hall, members of six different cultivator organizations sat in separate groups in the audience. Cui Yi and Chen Guo, along with their four disciples, sat closest to the entrance.
“Cousin, the Seven Star Sect people are at the front!” Chen Guo frowned and lowered her voice. “There aren’t many of them, and Yue Tianlu is there too. There are also people from the Broken Heaven Gate and the Ten Directions Hall—three reputable sects! Strange…”
"It seems the Seven Stars Sect has fewer people; there are only three."
Cui Yi nodded and lowered his voice: "During the day, I saw seven of them. Could it be that Yue Tianlu hid his men?"
"Did you notice what their cultivation levels were?" Chen Guo asked again.
"I don't remember very clearly." Cui Yi's resolute face was solemn. "At the time, we were quite far away, and I don't know how many experts Yue Tianlu brought. But one thing is certain: Yue Tianlu himself is a veteran Golden Core stage expert with superb cultivation. He is extremely cautious and very difficult to deal with!"
With not a trace of a smile on her delicate face, Chen Guo gritted her teeth and said, "I hope the other members of the Seven Star Sect aren't too powerful, otherwise the two of us might not be able to stop anyone other than Yue Tianlu."
"Furthermore, there are the Breaking Heaven Gate and the Ten Directions Hall, each with a Golden Core expert. As for the other three sects... their strength cannot be discerned from the distance!"
Cui Yi stared at his sister in astonishment, swallowed hard, and said, "Little sister, you don't actually want to cooperate with Zhuo Yang head-on, do you? With our cultivation at the Heartbeat stage, are you sure it's not suicide to fight against five sects?"
"I don't care, if Zhuo Yang makes a move, I will absolutely not stand idly by!" Chen Guo replied firmly.
Cui Yi sighed helplessly, "Are you really planning to become his concubine?"
"Hmph!" Chen Guo glared at her cousin, her cheeks flushed.
