《Refining the Mountains and Rivers》Chapter 1070 – Netherworld Platform Auction
Advertisement
Hu –
“Sir, Miss, we have reached Five Origin City.”
Feature stretched out her waist and rubbed her aching neck. She mumbled, “We’ve arrived...”
Qin Yu’s lips twitched. This woman, he feared she had gone so deep into those novels that she had reversed her meridians and gone mad.
“Hey! What sort of expression is that? What’s wrong with me liking to read? Do you have a problem with it?” Feature looked over, an ominous expression on her face.
“If you’re happy, I’m happy.” His day of peace and quiet was all thanks to Feature’s new hobby. He decided it was better to not go looking for trouble.
Seeing Qin Yu admit defeat, Feature arrogantly raised her head. But, these actions were too sudden and caused her stiff neck muscles to cramp and pull. She cried out loud and stumbled over.
Qin Yu hurried to catch her. He could immediately feel an astonishing touch. He froze in place and forcibly maintained his composure, helping her back up as he said, “You woman, can’t you be a bit more careful?”
“It’s all because of you, otherwise why would I fall over!” Feature clenched her jaws and stamped his foot before slapping the carriage door.
“Open the door. This carriage is suffocating; I want to come out for a walk!”
The carriage stopped and Feature furiously pushed open the door. Still in the carriage, Qin Yu let out a light breath. Fortunately for him, this woman’s lines were strong enough, otherwise that accident just now would have left him embarrassed.
“The feeling isn’t bad, right?” Mian Ya asked Qin Yu, her eyes blinking.
This woman, she really was courageous; she actually dared to sexually harass him? Did she happen to forget the suffering she endured back at Great Deer City?
“Humph.” Qin Yu stood up to walk out. Then, Mian Ya’s voice sounded out from behind him, “In truth, my body feels even better…”
He almost stepped on air and fell off. With a face full of black lines, he left the carriage.
This woman, she was really willing to do anything reckless for the Thousand Mirage Demon Mirror.
It seemed that he had to figure out a solution to have her suffer some hardships so that she stopped trying to entice him.
Mm…but, would the feeling be even better than Feature? There seemed to be some truth to this…Mian Ya was visibly larger…
Qin Yu took a deep breath and pushed down these random thoughts. It seemed that after stimulating the abyssal titan bloodline, his vital energy had become increasingly exuberant.
He had to be even more vigilant. Otherwise if he wasn’t careful, his weakness might be grasped by others and he would fall into a miserable state.
With this thought in mind, Qin Yu raised his head, a dignified emotion filling his heart. All these sexual thoughts vanished from his mind like popped bubbles.
Five Origin City was extremely large, far larger than Great Deer City. Looking up, the city walls extended into the heavens and disappeared into the clouds. They appeared towering and without end.

It was unknown how many years had passed, but countless marks marred the surface of the city walls. These countless traces of damage represented terrifying battles that occurred in the past.
Perhaps it was an internal conflict within the demon race, or perhaps it was the threat of demon beasts, but no matter what the reason was, a massive number of demons had died.
It could be said that every mark on the city walls was drenched in blood. They contained the souls of the dead demons that had never fully dispersed.
Formidable slaughter energy exuded from the city walls. This in itself was an extremely potent deterrent.
It warned outsiders to not take advantage of this great city. This city was in itself a great beast, one that could swallow everything!
Wu wu –
Strong winds howled. It was as if one could hear the unwilling roars of the demons that had died here.
In the eyes of the demons, Feature possessed a powerful charm and enticement. Even though he thought she had an ordinary appearance, in the opinion of the demons, she was likely a beauty that could bring the downfall of nations.
So as soon as she left the carriage, she caused countless demons to pay attention to her. Their eyes burned with blazing heat.
If it weren’t for Black Astral standing by her side expressionlessly, clearly not someone who was good to provoke, then some demons might have approached her already.
Qin Yu’s lips twitched. If things continued like this, who knew whether there would be problems? After all, while abyssal demons had an intelligence level no less than that of flesh and blood beings in the living world, they often easily caved in to their impulses due to the abyssal energy within and around them.
While he wasn’t afraid, it was still better to avoid any unnecessary troubles…the targeting of the abyss’ will had retreated for now, but Qin Yu had no idea when it would return.
Being a bit more careful and not attracting its attention wasn’t a wrong choice.
He walked over to Feature’s side and lightly coughed, “Didn’t you say that you wanted to participate in the auction? It’s not early anymore. If you go any later, I fear there won’t be any seats left.”
Feature’s eyes brightened. “You’re right. Let’s hurry and enter the city.”
Old Fox acted as the negotiator. It was unknown what he said, but the demon guards at the city gates were respectful to him and politely allowed them into Five Origin City.
“Who is that woman? She is as fresh and beautiful as an angel!”
“In my opinion, not even an angel can compare to her.”
“What a pity. She’s clearly someone with a great background. She’s not someone you or I can hope to reach.”
“After today, how am I supposed to find beauty in other demon girls?”
Listening to the raucous sounds all around him, Black Armor’s lips twitched. He never thought that he would encounter the other party at Five Origin City again.

Adding in the lakeside encounter, this was the third time. This could be considered fate…unfortunately, he didn’t want this fate at all.
“Black Armor.” The young master’s voice resounded from within the carriage.
Black Armor bowed, “Yes.”
“Isn’t this the third time we have met this miss? If this is fate, how can we stand by and do nothing?” His voice was still calm and tranquil, but he couldn’t hide the simmering heat beneath it.
Black Armor’s face stiffened. “Sir…”
“There’s no need to say anything else. I’ve made up my mind. Look up where they’re going and where they’re staying.” The young master said in a cold tone.
Black Armor sighed inwardly and respectfully nodded.
After entering Five Origin City, it didn’t take much effort to gather all the information about the auction.
But the bad news was that the tickets for the auction had started being sold as long as three months ago. So Qin Yu’s words became reality and all admission tickets were sold out.
This left Feature feeling dissatisfied. She stared at Qin Yu and said that he was a bad luck bird. She also threatened him with consequences if he couldn’t figure out a way to enter the auction.
Old Fox smiled and calmed Feature down as she was about to storm off. He said to rest assured and that he would handle everything.
He left for a moment, and when he returned, he had six admission tickets. They were even near the front center section.
As for the price, it was just some demon crystals.
Old Fox had resigned from his position of Thousand Eye Temple’s steward. For his achievements and hard work, he was given demon crystals as compensation.
No one knew the actual amount, but with Old Fox’s personality of never suffering a loss, the next steward of the Great Deer City branch division was sure to bleed a lot.
These were just mere admission tickets. Even if they had been raised to sky high prices, this was nothing in the eyes of Old Fox.
Feature happily patted Old Fox’s shoulders, saying that bringing him along was the best decision.
With just one sentence of praise, Old Fox felt as if he were floating on the highest clouds.
There was nothing he could do about it. He believed that after passing through so much wind and rain in his life, he had developed a calm and stable mind. But this lady, she was someone that even the dignified Elders of the Demon Dragon Clan had to obediently listen to.
As for how formidable she was, besides Qin Yu, no one knew.
But even a fool could tell that she was absolutely a peak character, someone who could freely wander the abyss.
After being praised by her, it was hard not to be ecstatic about it!
But in truth, Qin Yu really had no idea. And when it came to Feature’s background and origin, he was in the dark just like Old Fox and everyone else.
“Go, go, go, find a place to stay and then we’re going to the auction house!” Feature waved her hands in high spirits, her face full of anticipation.
Five Origin City’s auction was held in the east side of the city, in a place called the Netherworld Station. This was another incomparably strong influence that spanned across multiple layers of the abyss.
The difference from Thousand Eye Temple and Three Lives Pavilion was that Netherworld Station only did auctions and didn’t have external operations.
Because they were already sufficiently formidable and had a first-class reputation, they gradually grew stronger until they became the premier auction house of the abyss.
No one knew what sort of powerful background Netherworld Station was concealing, but through the countless years, whenever they held an auction, no accidents ever occurred.
Of course, this didn’t mean that it never happened. It was just that as soon as it occurred, it was completely erased as soon as possible.
This auction was also being held by Netherworld Station.
They chose an inn that wasn’t too far away from the auction house. Although there was still some time before it began, Feature couldn’t wait at all. She hastily scarfed down dinner and clamored to go to Netherworld Station as soon as possible.
This caused Old Fox to reveal a helpless expression as he held the two wild chickens in his hands. He originally thought to cook something delicious so that Miss Feature would think more highly of him, but now it seemed he would have to put this thought away for the time being.
With Feature and Qin Yu at the front, the group left the inn.
In a shadow near the street, water seemed to ripple. It silently arrived behind two demons. Then, the shadow suddenly rose up, directly rising from the ground behind and swallowing them up like a giant mouth.
But at this time, the shadow paused for a moment before shattering like a popped bubble.
Shua –
One of the demons fiercely turned his head. When he didn’t discover anything untoward, he furrowed his eyebrows and said, “Did you feel something weird?”
“No!” The other demon said.
“Maybe I was too anxious. We’ve obtained the information so don’t delay any further. Let’s hurry back and report.”
“Good.”
The two demons turned and ran away. They had no idea they had taken a step into death’s door just now.
As the two demons left, fluctuations appeared in the air and Shadowless Demon’s figure materialized.
He glanced at where the two demons went and then looked in another direction. He had no idea why Miss Feature had prevented him from getting rid of them.
Although he couldn’t figure it out, since Miss Feature had stopped him she had to have her reasons. He simply needed to follow her orders.
Moreover, no matter who sent those two people, if they dared to try and take advantage of Miss Feature or Qin Yu, they were just seeking death!
He looked down at the admission ticket in his hand. Then, he stepped forward, mixing into the streams of people and vanishing from sight.

Only Villains Do That
While waiting on an Akihabara train platform one day, ordinary high schooler Yoshi Shinonome was suddenly plucked from his normal life in Japan and whisked away by a beautiful goddess to Ephemera, a world of magic and adventure, to serve as her Hero and drive back the evil Dark Lord. This is not his story. Standing nearby at the moment Yoshi was isekai'd was a man named Seiji - a rude, cranky, misanthropic musician who was not at all pleased to find himself also snatched up and transported to Ephemera by the goddess's wicked sister, Virya. According to this self-proclaimed Goddess of Evil, the whole fantasy adventure thing was a game she and her sister played to stave off the boredom of immortality, and since the good goddess, Sanora, had picked her Hero...well, Virya needed a Dark Lord. A grown man with his own career and ambitions, Seiji has no interest in playing. Unfortunately for him, the call to adventure was not a request. Now, he must conquer Ephemera and defeat the Hero...or Virya promises to make him beg for the release of death before granting it. Playing along for his own survival, Seiji nonetheless is under no illusions who his true enemy is, and it's not the naive young would-be Hero from his own world. Placed in an impossible position, Seiji must make enough progress toward world domination to keep his sadistic patron goddess off his back, but not so much that he can't strike an accord with the forces of Good and convince the Hero Yoshi that it's the goddesses who are their mutual enemy. Forced to embrace Evil without being too evil, Seiji walks the razor's edge, building his forces and biding his time till he can get revenge on the goddesses and be free of them, his only certainty that he will not be getting out of this with his hands clean. A Dark Lord's gotta do what a Dark Lord's gotta do. Updates Tuesday and Friday. Most Patreon tiers get to read one chapter in advance of the public release!

Rise of a Scarlet Devil (Regular+Draft Version)
A young girl slain during a war was brought back to life by some unknown force millennia later. She could only remember a vague face within her memories, uncertain as to who it was but there was one thing she did know. She needed to kill that person. But she was too weak, she needed to hide, to grow. She needed to flee from the battlefield her enemy reigns over. And to do so, she needed to run eastward, towards Helios, a safe haven for those who have lost their homes in the war. And where she would grow to become the strongest Hunter under her own strength. What was it that brought her back? Only time will tell. #Author's Note The novel is organized like this:Regular Chapters (Act, Title, Part (ranging from 1 to 9))Draft Chapter DisclaimerDraft Chapters (Entry Number, Perspective, Title, Part (ranging from i to ii)) Regular chapters are edited chapters that reflect the story aspect more while Draft chapters reflect plot progression more. An occasional interactive chapter will appear in the drafts but nowhere in the regular chapters. Expect changes when reading between Regular and Draft chapters as some events in the story may change in length or entirely removed/changed. Only read the draft version if you want a future view and/or opinion on the story and design elements. The main character is a human from a fantasy world reincarnated as a devil. The story possesses Reincarnators, Transmigrators, and Summoned Persons. though mainly focusing on Magic and other abilities such as Aura and Skills. Wizards (those who prepare arcane spells) and Mages (those who use elemental magic) are separate but seen as the same by common inhabitants of the world but clearly defined as different by more influential persons and by the circles themselves. The main character WILL not be a Mage or Wizard but will incorporate mana into her attacks to aid her as does any high-rank combatants. The system in the novel quantifies a person's abilities and keeps record of them but does not define natural ability, occasionally granting special abilities as skills to a person once prerequisites are met. There is no leveling system and no occupational systems in the novel featuring only a stat based and skill based system. Also, this novel is my first and will most likely be trash.
