Chapter 815: Reaching an Agreement

Yeah, I actually forgot those Foreign Tribe's Origin Pellets.

Ye Liuyun then remembered he could have the Ghost Butterfly absorb those Foreign Tribe's Origin Pellets.

"A Ghost Butterfly about to reach Honored Rank! A quasi-Honored Rank pet, starting bid sixty million top-grade Spirit Stones, each raise no less than one million top-grade Spirit Stones." The auctioneer shouted energetically.

As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, someone immediately placed a bid.

Sixty-one million!

Sixty-two million...

The crowd's bids quickly reached eighty million.

Don't make a sound, this time I'll bid myself!

The Princess instructed Chang Wanshan, then directly bid eighty-one million.

The audience immediately fell silent.

Everyone knew this was another thing the Princess had taken a liking to; Chang Wanshan would likely make a move again.

The crowd kept bidding, but no one expected that shortly after, the Princess would shout out a bid of ninety-one million.

Huh, why hasn't Chang Wanshan made a move? Let the Princess bid herself?

Could he be too shocked to speak? Haha!

Besides being surprised, they hadn't forgotten to mock Chang Wanshan.

It seems this Ghost Butterfly is what the Princess truly wants! Ye Liuyun sent a mental transmission to Qiong Qi.

Who cares who wants it! In an auction, the highest bidder wins; if they try something sneaky, we're not afraid. Worst case, we just run! Qiong Qi appeared indifferent.

I thought you had more ambition, but it turns out you just run away!

Ye Liuyun and Qiong Qi chatted casually, and his bidding didn't stop just because the Princess wanted to buy.

He and Qiong Qi are the same; they're never intimidated by power and influence.

Everyone understands this: in battle, having an extra living Honored Rank Soul is far more useful than any treasure, especially a rare pet capable of Spiritual Soul Attacks.

Thus the Ghost Butterfly's price quickly surged past a hundred million.

After passing one hundred twenty million, only the Princess and Ye Liuyun remained in the bidding.

They both started raising by five million increments, quickly reaching one hundred forty million.

One hundred fifty million. Ye Liuyun calmly raised the increment to ten million.

The Princess also frowned; the price of one hundred fifty million had already exceeded her budget. If she wanted to keep bidding, she'd have to borrow money from Chang Wanshan.

She hadn't expected a Ghost Butterfly to attract such fierce competition.

Ye Liuyun had already spent a lot earlier, yet he could still call out a price of one hundred fifty million.

Other Martial Cultivators were also watching Ye Liuyun askance.

Where did this country bumpkin rich kid come from? So wealthy!

They kept guessing Ye Liuyun's identity, but for now they only knew he was a Demon Cultivator, with no other information.

Some harbored ill intentions, but seeing Ye Liuyun's sidekick Qiong Qi at the Zao Hua Third Realm, they couldn't bring themselves to act.

What if Ye Liuyun had even stronger protection in secret? Someone carrying that much money couldn't possibly have just one guardian—many thought that.

Moreover, after seeing Ye Liuyun's composure and Qiong Qi's arrogance, they also dared not act rashly.

At the very least, anyone daring to oppose the Princess would need to think carefully before acting.

"Young sir! I am Princess Liang Xinyu. Could you give me this Ghost Butterfly?" Liang Xinyu thought it over, still wanting to discuss with Ye Liuyun first, so she sent him a mental transmission.

"No!" Ye Liuyun firmly refused.

Facing pursuit from Nether Hell, having an Honored Rank ally would make him much safer. Thus the Ghost Butterfly is a life-saving asset for him.

Liang Xinyu also didn't expect Ye Liuyun to refuse so decisively.

She's always the one who rejects others decisively; hardly anyone could so simply and directly turn her down.

But she had come on a mission today, so she suppressed her temper and tried again to discuss with Ye Liuyun: "I also have a Ghost Butterfly at home, of the same rank. However……"

She said this, then suddenly stopped, feeling unable to bring it up.

She actually wanted to say that hers is female, and she wished to borrow Ye Liuyun's male one for breeding.

But she felt embarrassed to say those words.

"Then why are you still competing for this one?" Ye Liuyun couldn't guess her thoughts, so he just asked.

"Mine is female, yours is male…… My father wants to buy back this male one……"

Liang Xinyu stammered her explanation, making Ye Liuyun a bit anxious.

"Breeding?" Ye Liuyun asked directly.

"Mm." Liang Xinyu's face flushed at the words, but she finally breathed a sigh of relief, not having to say them herself.

"Sure, but you have to pay a fee: thirty million top-grade Spirit Stones. If anything goes wrong during the process and my Ghost Butterfly gets hurt, you must compensate me double the auction price."

Ye Liuyun then laid out the terms.

Helping others is fine, but absolutely cannot be free; otherwise, the Princess might think he has ulterior motives.

"Alright, deal! You go ahead and bid, I won't compete." Liang Xinyu wasn't worried Ye Liuyun would go back on his word, after all this is her family's turf.

She thought this trade wasn't bad; her father just wanted to breed more Ghost Butterflies, not necessarily needing to buy this one.

In the end, Ye Liuyun won the Ghost Butterfly with a bid of one hundred fifty million.

"That damned Golden Pupil brat, actually snatching what the Princess fancies! Princess, rest assured—I'll send someone to take care of him."

Chang Wanshan didn't know they'd communicated; seeing the Princess lose to Ye Liuyun, he immediately wanted to show off.

"No way! I have an agreement with him—you can't touch him. He's currently a distinguished guest of our Prince's Mansion." The Princess directly warned Chang Wanshan.

"Huh? An agreement? What agreement do you have with him? When was it made?" Chang Wanshan, full of questions, appeared tense and blurted it out.

The Princess frowned: "Do I need to tell you about our agreement?"

"Of course not! I just felt a bit strange for a moment!"

Chang Wanshan also came to his senses, realizing he had been overstepping his bounds, and immediately changed his tone. "After all, the Princess hadn't known him before, and suddenly saying there was an agreement made me a bit curious."

The Princess nodded, and didn't blame him. After all, she really hadn't known Ye Liuyun before, and the agreement had just been made. Chang Wanshan's curiosity was understandable.

"No matter what, you must not hurt him!" the Princess urged again.

"Princess, rest assured, how could I harm the honored guest of the Prince's Mansion!"

Even if Chang Wanshan were ten thousand times unwilling, he wouldn't want to delay his own plans over a petty figure.

Even though he was angry at Ye Liuyun, he had to restrain himself.
