As the mallet fell, the auctioneer took the lead to clap. Warm waves of applause resounded throughout the auction hall. Countless eyes gathered and many of the demons seated in the surrounding seats smiled and nodded.

Feature flushed red. A smug and self-satisfied look hung on her face. She humphed and said, “Do you see this? It turns out I’m the type of great person suited for attending auctions!”

Old Fox and Black Astral tried their best but they couldn’t help but twitch their lips.

Qin Yu rolled his eyes, thinking that these applauding demons must be cursing this girl that popped out of nowhere and didn’t understand the rules. They likely thought she was just stirring up drama for giggles.

The only reason they greeted you is because they hope you won’t raise your hand and make random bids in the next auction.

Yet she had no idea about this and was even pleased with herself…tsk tsk, Feature, Feature, sometimes you seem supremely clever and intelligent, but sometimes you can be called naïve and stupid!

Of course, thinking these thoughts was fine. It definitely wasn’t something he could say.

Moreover, looking at Old Fox and Black Astral, while they had strange expressions there wasn’t anything else. It seemed that in their eyes, a few million demon crystals wasn’t anything at all.

One had been the steward of a Thousand Eye Temple branch division and the other was the master of the great Merry Forest. They were Demon Commander level existences that had lived for a long time, so it was inevitable that they were rich.

Feature was willing to spend their demon crystals, so those two old demons must be happy.

The demon woman who served them led several Nether Station demons over. They came carrying a box containing the heart of the Demon Beast King. They respectfully bowed and said, “Honored guest, please inspect the goods. If there is no problem you may complete the payment.”

Old Fox stood up. After opening the box and peering inside, he nodded and took out a dark blue crystal card with an image cut on its surface. The image was that of a terrifying beast phantom. It was a three-headed hellhound that stood as tall as the skies!

This was a prepaid card jointly issued by the King of this abyssal layer, the Three-headed Hellhound Clan, as well as several large-scale influences.

And Netherworld Station just happened to be one of the shareholders behind this financial group.

The demon woman was even more respectful when she saw this crystal card. She didn’t think that anyone would joke around with Netherworld Station, so this crystal card had to be real.

And the crystal card itself was a symbol of status. It was the dual affirmation of both strength and wealth. Only truly great individuals could possess it.

But this fox demon was acting with deference towards these two youths in the booth. Could a subordinate or servant actually take out this kind of demon crystal card?

If so, just how honored was the status of these two people? The demon woman didn’t dare to imagine it. However, when she glanced at Qin Yu, a burning heat unconsciously rose in her eyes.

As someone who had been chosen by Netherworld Station to be a demon woman who served VIP guests, not to mention her cultivation and bloodline, but even her appearance and body were top class.

If she could climb into this young master's bed, then even if she couldn’t obtain or status, even if he casually tossed her something it would be enough for her to live a life of luxury without regret.

Mian Ya glared at the demon woman and secretly cursed her for being a little harlot. She actually dared to think about taking advantage of His Excellency Qin Yu? She should check her own level first!

Even this old lady, someone who is considered a beauty even in the Nine-tailed Demon Fox Clan, cannot climb onto his bed, so how dare you have such thoughts!?

As Old Fox swiped his card to pay the bill, the Netherworld Station demons bowed respectfully and excused themselves.

The demon woman had bitterness in her eyes. From beginning to end, Qin Yu hadn’t even glanced at her. It was like she had been using all her moves on a blind person.

After they left, Feature suddenly said, “Qin Yu, I couldn’t tell that you are so enticing to women!”

Qin Yu said without expression, “Should I regard this as you praising me?”

Feature groaned and cursed him for being shameless. Then, she turned around and ignored him, staring at the auction hall enthusiastically once again.

The second auction had now begun.

Blue Wave rubbed his chin, gently groping the demon woman at his side. He smiled and said, “You did well. After this auction ends, I will order someone to take you to my residence.”

The demon woman’s face blushed red as if she were drunk. She hummed once and retreated to the side.

“The holder of the abyssal demon card is actually a subordinate of Miss Feature…I fear her status is even greater than I thought. The more honored she is, the more out of reach she is…however, this also means that once I succeed, the harvests will be far greater than I could imagine…”

As Blue Wave’s thoughts rotated, his eyes flashed.

Black Armor took a deep breath and said, “Sir, I believe that your actions were too rash. Please reconsider what you are doing.”

The more formidable a demon was, the more they cared about their bloodline. Even if they married someone, they would only do so with someone who had an equally formidable bloodline.

Any attempt to tarnish their noble bloodline would be considered a provocation against their entire tribe.

Through the countless years of the abyss, it wasn’t that there hadn’t been fairytale stories about the ‘stableboy who rescued the maiden’ or the ‘prince who fell in love with the commoner’.

But the abyss was not a fairytale world. In the end, the final fate of these people was tragic and pitiful.

Of course, this didn’t mean that there weren’t cases of success. It was just that there were far too few, so few that they could be considered miracles.

Black Armor had received the graciousness of the City Lord and was ordered to follow the second young master to Five Origin City. Of course, he had to fulfill his duty and make sure he avoided danger.

But what a pity, Blue Wave wasn’t his big brother. While he had some intelligence and patience, he didn’t understand what he could do and what he couldn’t do.

And most importantly, Blue Wave believed he was in a much higher position than he actually was. So in his opinion, while chasing this royal woman was difficult, it wasn’t impossible. And once he succeeded his harvests would be great, enough for his big brother and his entire family to hold him in high esteem.

So facing Black Armor’s wise advice, he frowned and said, “Black Armor, don’t forget your status. You are just a servant of my family. Do you dare to look down on me?”

Black Armor stood up and fell to his knees. A cold sweat covered him as he said, “This subordinate doesn’t dare!”

“Humph. Then shut that mouth of yours. If you dare say another word, you can return to Adversity Peak City by yourself!” Blue Wave looked away. He felt nothing but loathing towards this guard leader.

Black Armor bitterly smiled. He stood up, no longer saying anything. He had already done everything he could. Everything that followed would be up to fate.

He hoped that there wouldn’t be too much trouble from this.

After successfully bidding for the first time and obtaining the heart of a Demon King Beast for 3 million demon crystals, Feature continued to bid on the next several auctions, eventually winning each time.

Not everyone was afraid to face this wealthy and foolish girl. It was just that the items she chose weren’t too precious, and secondly…the prices she bid at were enough to cause a headache.

After considering things over and over, no one was willing to provoke this woman of unknown origin.

Blue Wave’s eyes brightened. He knew that his chance was coming. Everyone was avoiding Feature’s arrogance. If he could reverse the script on her, he would definitely be able to attract her attention.

As long as both sides encountered each other somehow, he was confident that he could deepen his impression in her heart, finally capturing her in the end.

Now all he needed to do was to wait for a chance.

Soon, an opportunity appeared. The root of an abyssal demon vine was sent to the auction hall. After a lot of competition, Feature bid once again.

“This abyssal demon vine comes from a mysterious abyssal world that no demon has truly stepped into yet. Just for the sake of obtaining this root section, a Demon Commander was injured and three Demon Generals were swept away with not even their skeletons left. Although it appears harmless now, once it smoothly grows its strength will be incomparably terrifying!

“Of course, cultivating this demon vine requires time and a great deal of resources. But in the abyss, there is no such thing as a meat pie that falls from the skies. If you wish to receive a harvest, you need to pay the corresponding investment. I believe all our honored guests here understand this truth.

“If you invest resources and energy into the younger generation, they might not necessarily grow up. But if you invest into the abyssal demon vine instead, it will surely be an obedient and powerful guardian that can protect your dwelling, worry-free!”

One couldn’t help but admit that the auctioneer was truly capable of stirring up the crowd. The auction hall’s atmosphere became much more vivid.

Of course, if a great number of demons competed in this auction, in the end it would all be because this abyssal demon vine was indeed mystical and incredible, and its future growth potential was astonishing.

After all, no one was an idiot. Did this auctioneer think they would throw away their demon crystals with just a few words?

“4 million!” Feature yelled out loud. As she made her first bid, the expressions of many other competing demons changed.

It was her! It was her! It was her again!

This woman was like a dog. Once she bit onto something, she would never let go. They had stepped to the side and allowed her to take the last few items, but this abyssal demon vine was a genuinely valuable item.

After it completely matured, even a Demon Commander would suffer a loss. While it was fixed in a place and couldn’t easily move, this was still considered a priceless treasure.

4 million demon crystals was absolutely below the true value of this abyssal demon vine.

After a wave of competition, the price smoothly climbed to 5 million. Those that were still competing were basically all VIP guests.

Blue Wave was among them. It was just that he wasn’t too conspicuous. He raised the price once and it hadn’t been by that much.

“6 million!” Feature waved her hand, drastically increasing the bid once more.

Once it reached this price, the number of competitors dropped once more.

Netherworld Station’s main auction floor was known to have over a thousand items and there were countless precious items to be auctioned off. If they were to spend over 6 million demon crystals on the abyssal demon vine, they feared that they would miss out on other good things.

Some people withdrew and some people were even more determined to win. Because in their eyes, this demon vine had an important status.
