"Give me a private room!"
Yan Qingshan's brows furrowed as his gaze swept across the room. He turned his head slightly and noticed a lewd man in a hidden corner, staring intensely at Ya Fei on the stage, his hands placed below his waist, continuously... engaging in indecent acts as Ya Fei's fiery red lips opened and closed.
This situation was not an isolated case. In the darkness, many sordid figures were making similar moves, some with suspicious familiarity and regularity, suggesting it was not their first time.
Moreover, the arrival of Yan Qingshan and his companions had drawn many dark glances towards Xue Lan and Qing Ling, which displeased Yan Qingshan greatly.
"Please follow me this way!"
The auction house's female attendant did not hesitate and quickly led Yan Qingshan and the others to a relatively secluded private room on the second floor.
Yan Qingshan had exchanged one hundred thousand gold coins for chips upon entering the auction house. This was a significant customer she had finally encountered, and she would be devastated if they left.
Entering the second-floor private room, which blocked some of the disgusting gazes from outside, the two girls beside Yan Qingshan felt much more at ease.
Yan Qingshan walked to the edge of the private room's viewing platform and looked down, his gaze once again sweeping across the high platform.
He stared at the exceptionally voluptuous and alluring curves of Ya Fei, the red-dressed beauty, and a pair of captivating long legs entered his view.
Xue Lan slightly obstructed half of his body and snorted coldly at him, her delicate nose slightly wrinkled. She pointed behind him, where Qing Ling was inquiring about some matters from the female attendant, as the dim environment made visibility poor.
Yan Qingshan was already somewhat aroused by Ya Fei. He stepped forward and embraced Xue Lan, his hands unabashedly caressing her long legs. This girl had tempted him with her long legs several times, and as the young master, he had to retaliate.
Xue Lan let out a muffled groan, her body stiffening and her face flushing crimson. She glanced back at Qing Ling cautiously and, finding that she was not noticed, held onto the railing without resisting Yan Qingshan's actions.
However, unbeknownst to her, Qing Ling's small face was also slightly red. In fact, she continued to pester the female attendant to prevent her from turning around and giving the two in front of her an opportunity. As the possessor of the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils, how could my eyesight be poor!
"Ahem... Qing Ling..."
Yan Qingshan embraced Xue Lan and reclined on the soft sofa, calling for Qing Ling to come over. Xue Lan's face was flushed, and her body was so limp that she almost fell onto him, which made Yan Qingshan feel a mixture of guilt and accomplishment.
However, it was impossible for him to actually do anything here. After enjoying the sensation of touching and calming his arousal, he asked Qing Ling to bring the female attendant over. By this time, the day's auction was nearing its end.
Yan Qingshan handed the token he had obtained in Black Rock City to the female attendant. "Find a way to report this or deliver this item personally to Miss Ya Fei. Tell her that I am waiting for her in the private room!"
"Yes, sir!"
The female attendant was unaware of Yan Qingshan's background, but having seen him spend one hundred thousand gold coins at once, she knew he was no ordinary person.
After bowing, she exited the private room, while Qing Ling retrieved tea and snacks from a pre-prepared rack to serve Yan Qingshan.
The girl had been inquiring about these things.
Such private rooms had tea and snack services, but they were usually provided by the female attendants. However, Qing Ling would never allow anyone else to serve Yan Qingshan!
…
"Miss Ya Fei, the Jia Lie family is very satisfied with this auction. You are welcome to visit our family next time!"
"Our Aoba family feels the same..."
"The Xiao family is also very willing to befriend Miss Ya Fei..."
After the auction ended, Ya Fei led some of the auction house's executives to see off several prominent figures from Wutan City.
They were mainly the heads of the three major families of Wutan City, all of whom wanted to strengthen their ties with the Miteer family.
"It is an honor for Ya Fei that several family heads are willing to grace us with their presence..."
As a seasoned socialite, Ya Fei was naturally adept at handling such scenes. She smiled brightly, managing her relationships with each major customer well, without offending or alienating anyone, and without making these men feel any ill will.
At this moment, the female attendant, led by an old man, approached Ya Fei. The old man's hair was slightly gray, and on the side of his collar was a drawing of something resembling a medicine furnace. On the surface of the medicine furnace, two silver ripples shimmered with a noble glow.
The old man's appearance caused several prominent figures to be moved. Gu Ni, a three-star Dou Grandmaster, the head of the Wutan City branch of the Miteer Auction House and one of its strongest members, and also a respected second-rank alchemist.
"Miss Ya Fei!"
Gu Ni whispered a few words to Ya Fei. Ya Fei's expression first showed surprise and then gradually revealed joy. After a moment of stunned silence, she turned around, continued to smile, and said with a hint of apology,
"I'm sorry, everyone, Ya Fei has some matters to attend to, and I'm afraid I can't accompany you."
"It's alright, Miss Ya Fei..."
"Of course, please go ahead and attend to your business!"
"In that case, I will take my leave first!"
These power leaders were all shrewd and naturally would not exhibit any inappropriate behavior at this time. They all bid farewell and left. After they departed, Ya Fei led Gu Ni and the female attendant to the second-floor private room.
Ya Fei adjusted her demeanor outside the room, then wore a confident smile on her lips and lightly knocked on the door a few times.
Shortly after, the door was opened from the inside. The first thing Ya Fei saw was a pair of slender and rounded long legs, followed by a sexy girl with a wild temperament.
"Miss Ya Fei, please come in!"
A pleasant male voice came from the room behind the girl. The girl who opened the door stepped aside, and Ya Fei's gaze penetrated deeper.
She vaguely saw a petite green figure bending over to pour tea, and in the direction facing away from them sat a person. The one who had just spoken should be this person.
Ya Fei took light steps and came to the back of the sofa, moving around Yan Qingshan's back, and sat on another soft chair beside him. At this moment, Yan Qingshan's profile also turned.
Their eyes met, Ya Fei's gaze froze, and the corners of Yan Qingshan's mouth curved slightly.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Ya Fei, please don't take offense!"
Yan Qingshan smiled and nodded slightly, pushing another cup of tea that Qing Ling had brewed on the table. Cyan Dou Qi spread and propelled the teacup. The almost full teacup glided smoothly in front of Ya Fei, without spilling a drop of tea.
A flicker of surprise flashed in Ya Fei's eyes again. This powerful Dou Qi strength and control, the person before her was definitely one of the most powerful young experts she had ever seen.
Even the scoundrel who had forced her to leave the capital at that time probably didn't have this ability.
Ya Fei quickly regained her composure, lifted the teacup and took a sip, then smiled. Her beautiful eyes swiveled with a light, as if she were attracted to Yan Qingshan. "I really didn't expect that sir would be so young. I wonder if the person in Black Rock City that day and you..."
"Don't misunderstand, that was me. I was the one who made the agreement with your Miteer Auction House in Black Rock City at that time."
Yan Qingshan stared straight at Ya Fei without any change in his expression, speaking to himself, "At that time, I didn't trust your Miteer Auction House, so I chose to conceal my identity. I think that's not hard to understand!"
"Since sir didn't trust us at that time, why did you entrust such a large business to our Miteer family? Now that you have revealed your identity, do you feel that Ya Fei is weak... and can be deceived?"
Ya Fei pretended to be displeased, as if she felt wronged and needed comforting. She was indeed a woman who knew how to use her feminine advantages. Most people would not be able to handle her tactics.
"I really want to pin you down on the bed and bully you..."
Yan Qingshan thought to himself, thinking of a homophone for "bully", a flash of blue light in his eyes, clear and bright, a curl of his lips, confident,
"It's not because of you, Ya Fei, but because I feel that now, I'm no longer afraid of the Miteer family turning against me..."
The ring on Yan Qingshan's hand flashed, and a total of twelve boxes were neatly stacked on the empty space beside him. Yan Qingshan's palm released a burst of cyan Dou Qi, and each box was gently opened, but with minimal sound, perfectly revealing its contents.
Ten boxes of gold coins gleamed under the moonlight stones, but even more dazzling were the rare and exotic treasures in the other two boxes: jewelry studded with numerous exquisite gems, a supremely ornate ceremonial sword, a phoenix-embroidered robe woven with golden silk…
"Here are a million gold coins, some Storage stones, and various treasures, which should be sufficient to cover the items I need you to find."
Yan Qingshan watched as Ya Fei's expression shifted from initial surprise to forced composure, a slight smile playing on his lips.
He continued, "In addition to the wood-attribute Di-rank Dou Technique I originally requested, I'd like to place a deposit for three more accompanying techniques, preferably high-level Xuan-rank cultivation methods..."
Xue Lan and Qing Ling, standing beside Yan Qingshan, were deeply moved by his additional requests. The three cultivation techniques Yan Qingshan sought were for poison, wind, and a Dou Qi cultivation method suitable for the Snake-People tribe, all of which were clearly for their benefit!
After a deep breath, Ya Fei smiled and said, "Sir, I can certainly fulfill your requests, but it will take some time. The Di-rank Dou Technique from our headquarters is ready, but it will take some time to transport it here. As for the three Dou Qi Method, we will also need time to gather and allocate them."
"I understand. That's why I will wait."
Yan Qingshan took a few more sips of his tea, then set down the cup. He leaned forward, almost gazing down at Ya Fei, and said, "My name is Yan Qingshan, from Qingshan Town in the Magical Beast Mountains Range, not far from Wutan City.
I need you to deliver the items to the Thousand Medicines House in Qingshan Town as soon as possible. I'll be waiting for you there.
Farewell, Miss Ya Fei!"
With those words, Yan Qingshan embraced Qing Ling and Xue Lan, their figures flashing past the guards, leaving Ya Fei with only a departing silhouette.
