114: Chapter 114 He gave so much, just a title.
Long Ze and Mo Yuan immediately blocked in front of Feng Yange, while the others drew their swords one after another, looking at them with caution.
"Who is your master? I have just arrived here, so I shouldn't know him, right?"
This group of people were all in the Spirit Emperor Realm; the person behind them must have a significant status. Moreover, the other party even knew her surname. It couldn't be Xiao Linger, could it be Xiao Bufan?
"My master is the owner of the largest Auction House on the Jiuyou Continent. He holds no malice; he simply has a business deal he would like to discuss with Miss Feng. We hope Miss Feng will do us the honor."
Feng Yange was even more confused. She had never even stepped inside the Auction House, so how could the owner have found her, and even know who she was?
"Then lead the way."
She wanted to see exactly who this owner of the Auction House was.
Long Ze grabbed Feng Yange's arm with worry, but Mo Yuan was much calmer. "If Mistress wants to go, then go and see. We can protect her."
Even if it were the Spirit Venerable Realm, he could still protect her.
The group led Feng Yange to the largest Auction House in Jiuyou. Feng Yange followed them to a VIP room on the third floor. A figure dressed in red stood with their back to them; judging by the build, it looked like a man.
"Pavilion Master, Miss Feng has arrived."
The person turned around. He was a young man, extremely handsome. The red robes didn't look out of place on him at all; in fact, they added a touch of feminine beauty. His eyes were very attractive, and when he saw Feng Yange, a smile appeared on his face.
"Miss Feng, please, take a seat."
Mo Yuan leaned close to Feng Yange's ear and whispered, "His strength is above yours. Mistress, handle this carefully."
Feng Yange acknowledged this and looked at the Pavilion Master sitting opposite her, getting straight to the point. "Pavilion Master, what business do you have with me?"
[Ding! Extremely rare and high-quality Spiritual Root talent detected. Suggest host take him as a husband.]
Feng Yange frowned. The System really didn't let any man go. While the person before her was good-looking, he wasn't her type. Furthermore, she already had enough men; unless necessary, she wouldn't take another.
"Miss Feng, are you planning to participate in the upcoming Jiuyou Secret Realm?"
"Pavilion Master, if you have something to say, just say it. Since we are discussing cooperation, it is better to be sincere."
As soon as Feng Yange finished speaking, the Pavilion Master took out a storage ring and placed it in front of Feng Yange. "This is my entire net worth. I need a quota from you; I want you to take me into the Jiuyou Secret Realm."
"What quota?"
An ominous premonition rose in Feng Yange's heart. It wouldn't be as a husband, would it?
The Pavilion Master curled his lips, his attractive eyes filled with a smile. "Naturally, it is your husband quota. I need this identity to enter the Jiuyou Secret Realm. As long as you agree, all of this is yours."
Feng Yange frowned. "Why me? With your conditions and appearance, finding a suitable candidate would be easy. I already have seven men; don't you mind?"
"Naturally, it is because you are qualified. There are only seven days left until we enter the Secret Realm. Among the women who have come to Jiuyou during this period, you best fit my requirements. You are from the Feng Family of the Xuanling Continent, having left the Family and bringing those seven with you alone. Your strength is in the Spirit Emperor Realm, and your men are all very interesting. As for me, to you, I am nothing more than an extra accessory. I can provide you with excellent resources, and I can even help you a lot, for example, him..."
The Pavilion Master looked at Mo Yuan, then his gaze fell on Jun Chen, the curve of his mouth widening. "Or, for example, him..."
Mo Yuan and Jun Chen narrowed their eyes, a rare look of vigilance appearing in them, because they couldn't see through this guy's true identity. This guy was at least in the Spirit Venerable Realm.
Feng Yange picked up the Pavilion Master's storage ring to check it. At this glance, her hand nearly shook, and she almost dropped it on the table. This guy had way too many good things, didn't he?
[System, what did you mean by the extremely rare and high-quality Spiritual Root talent you mentioned earlier? Is he Divine-Grade or Heaven Grade?]
[Host, this person is concealing their Spiritual Root talent. This System can only detect that his Spiritual Root talent is extremely rare, likely above the Divine-Grade. Suggest host take him.]
Waves of emotion surged in Feng Yange's heart. To say she wasn't tempted would be a lie. A talent above Divine-Grade, could it be even higher? But she kept feeling like something wasn't right. How could such a pie-in-the-sky good thing fall on her head?
"What if I refuse?"
Feng Yange looked at him tentatively. The Pavilion Master was slightly taken aback, then immediately revealed a smile. "Then I will simply have to increase my sincerity until you agree."
The Pavilion Master took out another storage ring and placed it in front of Feng Yange. "These are the rare treasures I have collected over these years. I only ask for a nominal title. As long as you take me into the Secret Realm, that is enough. For you, it is just an extra nominal husband quota."
"Mistress, I think it is acceptable."
Mo Yuan pondered for a moment. "Although I don't know what he wants to do in the Jiuyou Secret Realm, his dowry is truly generous. After he is registered, if he doesn't listen, you can dissolve the marriage contract. Even if he doesn't die, he will lose half his life. There is no threat to you; it is just a name."
"A-Yuan makes sense. Since he came to us on his own initiative, it is feasible."
Feng Yange stared at the Pavilion Master, her eyes narrowing slightly. "You said it is just a nominal title; you don't need me to perform a marriage contract ritual with you?"
"Of course! I am only looking for you because I want the quota; I am not interested in your body. Besides, you already have seven men; I am not interested in you." The Pavilion Master's words satisfied Feng Yange. "Then, you haven't entered a marriage contract before?"
"Of course. You can have them check. If I had any other choice, I wouldn't have come to you."
Feng Yange gave them a look. Several of them stepped forward and checked the Pavilion Master. "Mistress, he has indeed never entered a marriage contract."
"Alright, then let's find a time to consult the marriage stone."
Feng Yange looked at the man before her, whom she had only met once. Fate was truly indescribable; it was simply that he gave too much.
"Then let's make it three days from now. I will handle the matters at hand, and you can all stay at my residence during these days." The Pavilion Master stood up and bowed deeply to Feng Yange and the others. "In the future, I ask for everyone's tolerance."
"Lead the way. It's just a name. You can treat me as your employer; there's no need for those vulgar formalities."
Feng Yange pocketed all his storage rings. She had been slightly worried when she arrived, but now, Feng Yange felt as if her vision had cleared.
In this world, how could making money ever be as fast as robbing it?
The Pavilion Master led them to his residence. Looking at the dwelling that was like a fairyland inside, Feng Yange admitted that she was envious.
This guy was truly wealthy. This wasn't a residence; it was clearly a fairyland.
"My home is your home. You can do whatever you want here. I will be busy for the next few days and will come back in three days. If you need anything, feel free to order the people in the residence to do it."
Feng Yange waved her hand. Seeing that Feng Yange didn't even spare him a glance, the Pavilion Master raised the corner of his mouth; it was just as he had guessed.
"Mistress, how much money do you think this guy actually has?"
Li Mingye was human, after all; he had never seen such a luxurious residence, it was like a fairyland.
"I don't know, but it is definitely more than all of yours combined. See for yourselves." Feng Yange took out the storage rings and gave them to the others. After gathering together and finishing their inspection, their expressions suddenly became grave.
