Chapter 20: Inviting Xiao Ruoyu to Attend the Auction

At this moment, Xiao Ruoyu was full of happiness, chatting and laughing with Xia Qingxue in her cozy little nest; the atmosphere was incomparably harmonious.

"Qingxue, I heard that you have become a concubine to the Young Master of the Su Family, Su Chen?"

Xiao Ruoyu lifted her beautiful eyes slightly and asked with confusion: "Before, didn't you always look down on him? I heard he forced you?"

Hearing this, Xia Qingxue's pretty face flushed slightly, and she nodded shyly: "Mm, before it was because I wasn't willing, so I rejected him. But later, through interacting with him, I discovered he isn't like the rumors outside say; on the contrary, he is quite good. I am very happy and blissful being with him."

Speaking to the end, Xia Qingxue's expression became somewhat hazy, her eyes slightly closed, as if she had fallen into memories.

The pleasure and happiness that Su Chen's Yang Flame Body brought her were simply unforgettable, and she had also developed a strong attachment to Su Chen.

"You girl!"

Seeing her infatuated appearance, Xiao Ruoyu gave a delicate snort and said unhappily: "It's just a man, look at you, you've become a lovesick fool."

Having said that, Xiao Ruoyu reached out her jade hand and poked her head.

"Where?"

Xia Qingxue's pretty face flushed slightly, and she coquettishly said: "Sister, you misunderstood. I'm not a lovesick fool; this is called the feeling of love."

Speaking of this, she stared at Xiao Ruoyu, smiled playfully, and said: "Sister, you haven't been in love, so naturally you don't understand this feeling. I am very happy right now."

As she spoke, she reached out to hook Xiao Ruoyu's arm and teased: "Good sister, we are sisters. I married Su Chen, why don't you marry Su Chen too? That way, us two sisters will never have to be separated."

Hearing this, Xiao Ruoyu was stunned at first, then a few black lines appeared on her fair forehead, her pretty face turned red, and she scolded: "Qingxue, how can you talk nonsense? What do you mean never have to be separated."

Although her temperament was cold, she was not like a fool; she naturally understood the meaning in Xia Qingxue's words.

"Oh my, sister, you're shy."

Looking at Xiao Ruoyu's shy appearance, Xia Qingxue teased: "It seems, sister, you haven't been in love yet and don't understand the taste of love, but it doesn't matter, I will teach you."

"I'm not playing with you anymore."

Seeing Xia Qingxue getting more and more out of line, Xiao Ruoyu turned her head in shame and annoyance, unwilling to pay her any mind.

Xia Qingxue giggled, reached out her jade hand to wrap around Xiao Ruoyu's willow waist, and whispered playfully against her ear: "Sister, if you won't play with me, then I'll play with you, hee hee."

"I don't want to listen, I don't want to listen, let go quickly."

A ticklish feeling came to her ear; Xiao Ruoyu kept dodging, but still couldn't escape, and in the end, could only beg for mercy: "Fine, fine, fine, I'm afraid of you."

"Hee hee."

Seeing Xiao Ruoyu finally compromise, Xia Qingxue stuck out her tongue triumphantly.

Xiao Ruoyu saw her naughty appearance, shook her head helplessly, and sighed: "You girl... sigh, this personality of yours really makes people love and hate you at the same time."

As she spoke, she reached out her jade finger and pinched Xia Qingxue's delicate nose.

Xia Qingxue wasn't annoyed at all; she sat down beside Xiao Ruoyu and asked with a smile: "Sister Ruoyu, do you know why I later fell for Su Chen?"

Xiao Ruoyu shook her head, "I don't know, I am just worried that you will regret it later."

"Haha, sister, don't worry. After this crisis in my Xia Family, I realized that Su Chen was actually really good to me; it's just that I didn't cherish it before. However, Su Chen still gave me a chance, didn't he?"

Xia Qingxue said with a face full of happiness.

Although she could not become Su Chen's primary wife, she had finally married Su Chen and become his woman.

Xiao Ruoyu looked at Xia Qingxue and shook her head gently.

She did not know how to evaluate this blind concept of love that Xia Qingxue held, or rather, she could not agree with Xia Qingxue's concept of love.

But she did not say much.

She knew that with Xia Qingxue's personality, things she had set her eyes on were hard to change; furthermore, love is something that has no logic to speak of.

————————

The Son of Luck is favored by the Heavenly Dao.

In just a few days of getting along, Ye Fan and Xiao Ruoyu had become good friends.

Ye Fan still followed the original plot, using his Double Pupil Eye to discover that Xiao Ruoyu possessed a Divine Phoenix Martial Soul, which left him astonished.

At the same time, he secretly regarded Xiao Ruoyu as his own possession in his heart.

He naturally knew the power of the Divine Phoenix Martial Soul; it could be said that Xiao Ruoyu was the dao companion that every male cultivator in the world most wanted to obtain.

Three days later.

Following Su Chen's arrangement, Xia Qingxue came to find Xiao Ruoyu to go to the Tianqiong Auction House together.

When she walked to the entrance of the small courtyard where Xiao Ruoyu lived, she discovered that Xiao Ruoyu was discussing something with a young man.

The man was wearing a cultivator's robe, had sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes, a gentle temperament, and his whole body exuded an elegant aura.

The moment she saw the man, Xia Qingxue's heart tightened suddenly, and then a complex look appeared on her face.

Although she was seeing this young man for the first time, she felt a faint sense of familiarity and closeness from the depths of her soul; this feeling was very strange.

What she did not know was that if not for Su Chen's prior intervention, according to the original plot, she would have ultimately been unable to escape the fate of becoming the young man's harem.

Xia Qingxue shook her head gently; she was now Su Chen's woman, so naturally, she would not have those kinds of thoughts about the youth before her.

When she saw the two of them chatting happily, her brows immediately furrowed.

Who exactly was this man?

Why was he with Xiao Ruoyu?

Because she was very clear that Xiao Ruoyu had a proud temperament, and ordinary men could not catch her eye.

But the youth before her made Xiao Ruoyu take the initiative to get close, and the look in Xiao Ruoyu's eyes when she looked at him was filled with brilliance.

She knew deeply that she still carried the task of helping Su Chen pursue Xiao Ruoyu; she dared not be the slightest bit careless, so she immediately flew over and interrupted the two who were chatting happily, "Sister Ruoyu..."

Hearing this, Xiao Ruoyu turned her head and discovered it was Xia Qingxue coming to find her; she was immediately confused and asked: "Qingxue, why are you here?"

Xia Qingxue glanced at the young man standing to the side, her eyes rolled slightly, and she said with a smile: "Oh, it's like this, Sister Ruoyu. At noon today, the Tianqiong Auction House will hold a grand auction. I heard that many rare treasures for cultivators will be auctioned there, and I want you to accompany me."

"Tianqiong Auction House?"

Hearing this, Xiao Ruoyu's gaze flickered a few times, and she seemed somewhat moved.

The Tianqiong Auction House was, after all, the most powerful auction house on the Tianxuan Continent.

Legend has it that it was jointly founded by many reclusive sects in the Central Province, specifically to auction off rare treasures collected from all corners of the Tianxuan Continent.

The items auctioned are of a vast and complex variety, encompassing everything, and there even appear supreme treasures that shake the Tianxuan Continent.

Therefore, the Tianqiong Auction House rarely holds auctions, but every time one is held, it shakes a whole world, and countless powerhouses and heaven-gifted geniuses come for its reputation.

Because the forces behind the Tianqiong Auction House are powerful and its status is extremely high, even its branch in the Donghua Prefecture is something no one dares to provoke.

The young man to the side clearly also had his eyes light up when he heard of the Tianqiong Auction House, though he was more interested in Xia Qingxue.

He sized up Xia Qingxue with a burning gaze.
