Volume 1_Chapter 34: Now that her life is worthless, what else can she do?

Chen Feng: "Nothing..."

The master's backside... no, the master's beard cannot be touched... it will kill people.

On the fourth floor, when Ouyang Xi heard someone speak from the fifth floor, his expression tightened slightly, and his hand gripped slightly.

Qing Jie was also very anxious at this time, "Master, we..."

This Longhun Grass was truly of great use to them.

Otherwise, the master would not have traveled thousands of miles from the Nanli Kingdom to this Donglin Kingdom.

"Increase the bid!" Ouyang Xi's eyes were firm.

When Qing Jie heard this, although he was a bit apprehensive on the surface, he still shouted two million taels towards the floor below.

But just as Qing Jie's voice fell, a price of five million taels was thrown out from the floor above.

This price, although not the highest auction price in the history of the First Pavilion, was truly extremely high.

And judging from this price and the posture of raising the bid, the person on the fifth floor must also be determined to get this Longhun Grass.

Ouyang Xi closed his eyes and remained silent for a long time, but the air pressure around him clearly dropped by a few degrees.

Seeing his master in such a state, Qing Jie's complexion was also not very good.

Seeing the master and servant's complexions were not good, Yun Qiyue did not go up to seek a sense of presence, but continued to leisurely watch the wonderful expressions of the people in the auction house below; after all, what mood the master and servant were in had nothing to do with her.

The final result was no surprise; Ouyang Xi gave up bidding, and the Longhun Grass went to the mysterious person on the fifth floor.

The next auction item was a person.

To be precise, it was a young boy locked in a cage.

The boy was dirty, covered in scars from head to toe, and there was almost no intact place to be seen.

Yet, even with such heavy injuries, the boy still struggled to remain conscious, his eyes filled with thick killing intent and ruthlessness, as well as a trace of unyielding defiance and wariness.

Yun Qiyue thought of two words: lone wolf.

That boy gave her the feeling of a lone wolf; as long as someone approached, he would show his sharp fangs.

Looking at him, Yun Qiyue couldn't help but think of her past life.

Before she became a special agent in her past life, wasn't she like that too?

At that time, she didn't know who her parents were, and since she had memories, she had been controlled by an underground organization, forced to participate in one duel after another; sometimes she fought with children like herself, and sometimes with beasts...

Injured again and again, and climbing up again and again, there was only one belief: to live.

At that time, she didn't trust anyone; her world was only darkness and bloodshed.

Until she was discovered by people from the Special Agent Division...

As Yun Qiyue recalled this segment of memory that had long been buried deep in her heart, her brows furrowed tightly subconsciously, and an aura of ruthlessness unknowingly radiated from her body.

Just at this moment, a "beep—" sound rang in Yun Qiyue's mind, pulling Yun Qiyue's attention from the boy to the system screen.

"'Kidnap a handsome man to become a life winner' is now issuing the third auxiliary task for the host: Save the injured boy in the auction house," the system's mechanical voice sounded. "Task success, reward 30 points; task failure, deduct 50 points."

Yun Qiyue was stunned upon hearing this; a reward of 30 points?

Could it be that the boy below also had a great influence on her?

Or was it just because this task was relatively difficult? After all, the system had said before that it was determined by influence and difficulty.

And she clearly didn't know the boy below; it was impossible to say that a boy she didn't know had any great influence on her.

She asked the system, but the system kept its mouth shut, so Yun Qiyue didn't have the heart to continue asking.

But no matter what, she was determined to complete this task.

During the conversation with the system, to outsiders, Yun Qiyue's attention had always been on the auction house.

And the trace of ruthlessness that Yun Qiyue had unknowingly radiated just now, although it dissipated quickly, was keenly captured by Ouyang Xi.

Therefore, Ouyang Xi's eyes looking at Yun Qiyue revealed a trace of depth and inquiry.

It was just that Yun Qiyue was busy talking to the system, so she didn't notice.

And in Xixue's view, Ouyang Xi was currently gazing affectionately at her young mistress, so her eyes were full of excitement, feeling that her young mistress was very charming to have so easily made a man with looks, power, and money fall for her.

At this time, Mei Niang began to introduce the boy's identity.

The number one assassin of the first assassin organization, Ghost Night: Xuan Ming!

Hearing the introduction, Yun Qiyue felt a strange tug of pain in her heart.

To become the number one assassin at such a young age, one could see how much suffering he had endured.

Next, Mei Niang roughly explained Xuan Ming's situation.

In the process of being hired, Xuan Ming was taken a fancy to by the financier's daughter, and then the financier bought Xuan Ming from Ghost Night to be a live-in son-in-law. Xuan Ming not only refused but also killed a bunch of the financier's secret guards.

The financier was furious and sent Xuan Ming back to Ghost Night, and then Ghost Night sold Xuan Ming to the First Pavilion.

After Mei Niang finished the introduction, she added: "This Xuan Ming has superb martial arts, but he is unruly and difficult to tame, and it is unknown whether he will be a waste of money if bought back; please bid rationally."

Mei Niang's words were not unreasonable; not to mention that Xuan Ming was covered in scars and looked like he had suffered torture, it was unknown if he could be cured, just based on the fact that Xuan Ming killed the financier's secret guards after being sold, one could see that this Xuan Ming was extremely difficult to discipline, and it was uncertain if he could be tamed after being bought home.

However, people who could come to the First Pavilion were not lacking in those who had money to burn, liked challenges, or were curious.

Just Xuan Ming's identity as the number one assassin was enough to make people interested.

Therefore, Mei Niang's piece of advice seemed to have no effect at all, and the bidding that should have happened still began.

In just a moment, Xuan Ming's value rose to fifty thousand taels.

Yun Qiyue clenched her fists, knowing she couldn't wait any longer.

But she had no money on hand.

Subsequently, Yun Qiyue took a deep breath, her gaze falling on Ouyang Xi beside her: "You help me bid for him, and I will clear your poison."

Hearing this, Ouyang Xi curled his lips into a smile, but the smile did not reach his eyes, "If I remember correctly, the condition for you to come in just now was to help me clear the poison."

When speaking, Ouyang Xi's face was gentle, but the obvious threat in his eyes made Yun Qiyue's heart tighten.

That trace of threat seemed to be warning Yun Qiyue not to push her luck.

To be honest, it was impossible not to be nervous, but Yun Qiyue not only didn't show a hint of fear on her face, she even looked straight into Ouyang Xi's eyes with a smile and asked, "Does Young Master Ouyang think your life is only worth ten thousand taels of silver?"

Yun Qiyue waited for Ouyang Xi's answer, her gaze never moving away, but the smile on her lips gradually couldn't be maintained.

For some reason, she had a feeling that Ouyang Xi wouldn't answer according to common sense.

And her intuition... seemed to have always been accurate...

Sure enough, she heard Ouyang Xi chuckle, his eyes revealing a trace of mockery, "It's just a life, it's worthless."

Yun Qiyue: "..." Now that this life is worthless, how can she continue the conversation? ===== CHAPTER 35 =====
