Chapter 24: Damn Bitch

Several elders with an ethereal, immortal air were seen slowly descending from the sky.

The leading elder had a kind face, robes fluttering in the wind, and stepped upon clouds; his temperament was transcendent, like an immortal god.

This person was none other than the president of the Donghua Continent branch of the Tianqiong Auction House—Chen Feng.

With a wave of his hand, a terrifying pressure bore down upon Ye Fan.

"You—"

Facing the pressure of a Great Saint Realm Peak powerhouse, Ye Fan's legs bent against his will, and his knees struck the ground.

Yet even so, it still could not block the erosion of the opponent's pressure.

"Such strong cultivation; Aunt Luo, save me," Ye Fan whispered in his heart.

But he received no response.

Crack!

The stone slab beneath Ye Fan's knees was crushed into pieces, and his body was pressed flat against the ground by the terrifying pressure, a trickle of fresh blood slowly flowing from the corner of his mouth.

It could be said that the more satisfying it was to act arrogant before, the more wretched he was now.

Seeing this, the surrounding crowd stood by and watched, gloating, with some even openly mocking and ridiculing him on the spot.

"Tsk tsk, this kid doesn't know what's good for him; I'm afraid he won't live long today."

"What a pity, that Double Pupil Eye of his."

"This is what they call 'Heaven may forgive sins, but one cannot survive self-inflicted ones.' Who told him to be so unappreciative and provoke someone he shouldn't have? Now he's in for it."

Ye Fan gritted his teeth, using all his strength to resist the pressure Chen Feng was exerting on him, a look of unwillingness appearing on his face.

"Pfft—"

A mouthful of blood was spat from his mouth, his face turning even paler, his aura growing even weaker.

"President Chen, please show mercy."

Seeing Ye Fan in this state, Xiao Ruoyu became anxious and couldn't help but rush forward to stop him.

She and Ye Fan could be considered friends, and she could not watch Ye Fan die right in front of her.

Seeing this, Chen Feng frowned and swept a cold glance at Xiao Ruoyu; upon recognizing her identity, he worried about accidentally hurting her, so he withdrew the pressure he had released around Ye Fan.

Xiao Ruoyu was the eldest daughter of the Xiao Family, and the Xiao Family was the second-largest family in the Donghua Continent; he still had to give her this face.

Seeing this, Xiao Ruoyu finally breathed a sigh of relief; Ye Fan would not die after all.

She reached out and helped him up.

Ye Fan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his face somewhat pale, and he managed to squeeze out a smile as he said to Xiao Ruoyu, "Ruoyu, thank you."

"Don't thank me."

Xiao Ruoyu shook her head with a bitter smile.

At this moment, Chen Feng walked over with his men, looking at Ye Fan with an icy expression, "You brat, you hurt someone from my Tianqiong Auction House; how many lives do you have for me to kill? You truly don't know the immensity of heaven and earth!"

"Hmph! Do you think you can walk sideways in my Tianqiong Auction House just because you have a Double Pupil Eye?"

He let out a cold snort, his tone filled with intense disdain.

Hearing this, a surge of anger welled up in Ye Fan's heart, but he knew he was definitely no match for the opponent and could only endure it for now.

"It wasn't me looking for trouble; it was him who deliberately made things difficult for me and wouldn't let me in!"

He pointed at the gatekeeper captain lying on the ground, protesting indignantly.

Hearing the accusation, a gatekeeper bowed to Chen Feng and said, "President, this kid said our newest rule shouldn't exist."

"Heh."

Hearing this, Chen Feng glanced at Ye Fan indifferently and sneered repeatedly, "Shouldn't exist? What are you? When did it become your turn, an outsider, to point fingers at the rules of my Tianqiong Auction House?"

"Do you think our auction house is some kind of place where a pauper like you can run wild? If it weren't for the auction being held today, where we cannot have bloodshed, you would have died ten thousand times already."

Having said that, Chen Feng looked at the gatekeepers and instructed, "Continue to act according to the rules; as for those poor bastards with no money, tell them to get as far away from me as possible."

"Understood!"

The gatekeepers replied in unison.

"Let's go!"

After casting a contemptuous glance at Ye Fan, Chen Feng flicked his sleeves and left with the elders.

Seeing the wisps of Dao aura surrounding the group, the crowd knew they were all Great Saint Realm late-stage experts and could not help but marvel at the formidable strength of the Tianqiong Auction House.

Seeing this, Ye Fan bit his lip, feeling extremely aggrieved.

"Bastard, it would be one thing if you died yourself, but you almost got Sister Ruoyu killed."

Seeing Chen Feng and the others leave, Xia Qingxue rushed over, raising her hand to slap Ye Fan.

But before she could strike, she was stopped by Xiao Ruoyu, "Qingxue, don't be rude."

"Sister Ruoyu, he almost got you hurt; why are you still stopping me?" Xia Qingxue said angrily.

Xiao Ruoyu smiled slightly and said, "This matter cannot be blamed on Young Master Ye."

"How can it not be his fault? He came to join the fun without even having Spirit Stones, and when the gatekeeper wouldn't let him in, he even attacked and injured him," Xia Qingxue said, full of resentment.

Sensing that Xiao Ruoyu was very protective of Ye Fan, she felt an extra layer of resentment toward him in her heart.

She vowed to make the two of them part on bad terms, preferably turning them into enemies.

Just as the two women were arguing, Ye Fan, who was to the side, suddenly let out a roar.

"Damn it, someone must be plotting against me."

He was seen gritting his teeth, his face twisted in a ferocious expression, his heart filled with intense hatred.

First, he was stopped by the gatekeeper to provoke him and force him to act, and then the Tianqiong president was brought in to teach him a lesson in front of everyone.

All of this was a trap designed by someone behind the scenes.

"Who exactly is it? To dare to go against me, Ye Fan."

"I don't care who you are, just wait, sooner or later I will find you to take my revenge!"

After speaking, Ye Fan took a deep breath.

"Coward, if you have no ability, you just sit here blaming heaven and others, blaming this and that."

Xia Qingxue crossed her arms over her chest, looked at Ye Fan with a face full of disdain, and mocked him coldly: "Do you really think that just because you possess the Double Pupil Eye, you're all that?"

"Does the entire Tianxuan Continent have to revolve around you? This is the Tianqiong Auction House; the power behind it is so strong that you would have to look up to it for your entire life. What are you even supposed to be, that they would scheme against you?"

Hearing Xia Qingxue's words, Xiao Ruoyu immediately frowned; she also felt that Ye Fan was being overly suspicious. In front of the boundlessly vast Tianqiong Auction House, a tiny Ye Fan really did not amount to much.

Naturally, they would not have nothing better to do than play such boring tricks on him.

Thinking this, she looked at Ye Fan and comforted him: "Young Master Ye, don't take it to heart. Qingxue just has a fast tongue; she actually has no ill intentions. I also think you are overthinking it."

Just at this moment, Ye Fan's gaze was deeply drawn to the figures of a man and a woman.

The man was handsome and dashing, dressed in a black robe, looking heroic and elegant; while the woman had a beautiful and moving appearance.

The two were arm in arm, walking intimately, their faces overflowing with happy and sweet smiles.

This scene deeply stung Ye Fan's eyes, causing a strong sense of jealousy to arise in his heart.

Especially that wandering hand the man had placed on the woman's shapely buttocks; he wished he could go up and chop it off.

Seeing the woman not minding at all, still looking like a delicate bird relying on its mate, Ye Fan could not help but clench his fists, a monstrous rage surging in his heart, "Damned slut!"
