Chapter 16: Stealing the Beauty
"Boss Hong, I want Shen Xiang. Please make an offer?" Yu Xiaochun suddenly spoke, surprising the countless different gazes in the audience. Even the red noble lady beside her was slightly stunned, for a moment she didn't know what to say.
"Kid, don't think just because you look fair you are so great. That's great. I also have feelings for Shen Xiang and want to invite her to have a drink and discuss poetry. If you are sensible, hurry down. Otherwise, if I can't control myself for a moment and lose face, it won't be good." Yang Mufeng sneered coldly, still holding Shen Xiang. Surprisingly, she didn't show the slightest resistance, allowing Yang Mufeng's rough behavior.
"Look, look. This was supposed to be a good thing, why make it so unhappy? Well, let you two have your own seats, enjoy the performance of these five girls of mine, calm your emotions, and talk about other things later." The red noble lady, who had been in the business scene for many years, with a gentle sentence, gave both of them something to hold onto. If the two didn't act sensibly now, if something really happened, it would have nothing to do with her Moon Full Tower.
"Say again? What does that mean?" Yang Mufeng asked with a slight frown, shouting lowly. He was also an old-timer, when it came to the complexity of society, this Yuanwu world couldn't even catch up with the world he was in before. When he first came here, no one knew his background, pretending to be a boss was the least risky, and his own temperament was exactly like someone who couldn't be provoked, at that moment, he really intimidated everyone present.
"The rules of my Moon Full Tower, the one who offers the highest price gets it!" The red noble lady chuckled lightly.
"Humph! Kid, later, you'll be forced to accept my defeat." Yu Xiaochun shouted lowly, leaping up and returning to her luxurious private room.
Yang Mufeng smiled gently, saying nothing, letting go of Shen Xiang in his arms, sitting on the stage, and finding an empty seat to sit down. For a moment, he was amused. He had three hundred main yuan stones and ten yuan essences, totaling about two million yuan stones. Such a fortune was probably not found in the entire Shaman City.
Yang Mufeng's conflict with Yu Xiaochun was just a minor incident, it did not affect the audience's appreciation of the exquisite performance of the five beauties. These five people were personally trained by the red noble lady, not only were their cultivation levels deep, each reaching the Yuanwei level, but also they were extremely beautiful, especially their graceful dance moves, which could completely turn people's hearts.
Yang Mufeng had long forgotten about Yu Xiaochun's words, holding a glass of wine in one hand, excitedly enjoying the performance.
The hot clothes of the five beauties, the ethereal dance moves, "exquisite yet not losing its sex appeal", this was Yang Mufeng's final evaluation of their performance.
"Look, this is the Flying Dragon Nine Heavens. It is said that it is the red noble lady's signature technique, and it has been passed down to the five beauties?"
"It's not surprising that the five beauties are her disciples. After all, it's not strange if they passed it on to their disciples."
"Then why is Moon Full Tower standing firm in the Shaman City for over ten years? It seems they really have some depth!"
"What depth? Haven't you heard? The red noble lady has a close relationship with the Iron Eagle Mercenary Group, and it seems she also has a decent relationship with the head of the Shen family, Shen Jian."
"Don't talk nonsense, be careful of saying something that could cause trouble!"
The discussion of the few people stopped. These were matters of the top officials of the Shaman City, not something they small people could comment on.
"Flying Dragon Nine Heavens!" Yang Mufeng sighed in his heart. Such a movement, when slow, it's like a gentle breeze blowing over fallen leaves, when fast, it's like a swift wind passing by. It was several times stronger than his own movement. If he fought these five beauties, he might not even be able to touch their foot.
Duan Tianyi in the luxurious private room was truly studying "The Great Wind Technique", suddenly feeling a burst of energy, looking closely, he just happened to see the ethereal five beauties, performing the Flying Dragon Nine Heavens, every movement was so perfect, truly making people feel their souls being carried to the ninth heaven. It was just a remote small town, a place of entertainment, yet it possessed such remarkable skills. This made both Duan Tianyi and Yang Mufeng feel the wonder and vastness of the world. There were so many unknowns waiting for them to discover. Suddenly, they seemed to awaken the thirst for knowledge deep within their hearts. It was rooted in their souls and was a strong desire regardless of time and geographical limitations. This was precisely the purpose of their existence. The previous world was like this, and the Yuanwu world was the same.
After a song, five golden flowers slowly fell, gracefully moving their steps and left the stage. Everyone was still immersed in the dreamlike dance music, and for a moment, they even forgot where they were. Suddenly, Yang Mufeng jumped up and loudly cheered, immediately waking everyone up. The entire venue burst into cheers, sending the five golden flowers away.
Everyone knew that the grand finale was about to begin tonight. Although many people thought such good fortune wouldn't fall on them, they still stayed there, witnessing the arrival of that moment. Even Duan Tianyi, who had been sitting quietly and practicing cultivation, stopped as well. The entire venue fell silent.
The red noblewoman slowly stepped onto the stage, followed closely by the only protagonist of the night - Linxiang, a stunning beauty from a foreign land, a woman who had captivated the entire sorcerer city's masters.
"I know, all of you honored guests are here for Miss Linxiang. I won't say more. Everyone, bid as much as you like. No low bids, no upper limit." The red noblewoman finished speaking, then moved to the side. Immediately, the crowd became excited, one after another, bidding prices, and the prices soared to ten thousand stones in an instant. At this point, the bidding sounds slightly slowed down. Those who continued bidding were all rich or of noble status. This was their home ground. The others could only watch. At this moment, Yang Mufeng still sat there, not bidding. Many people began to point at him.
"Five ten thousand!" Suddenly, a high-pitched voice came from a luxurious private room, that of Yu Xiaochun's.
"Kid, you're not very good, are you? Why don't you bid? Are you scared? Poor guy!" Yu Xiaochun sneered, glanced at Yang Mufeng, and no longer looked at him. His lustful eyes stared fixedly at Linxiang standing in the center of the stage.
Yang Mufeng just smiled lightly, not caring, continued drinking his wine, looking calm and composed.
"Six ten thousand!"
"Eight ten thousand!" ...
The price kept rising. At this moment, Yang Mufeng suddenly felt a sense of desolation in his heart. Although he was a bit lustful, he had never regarded people as mere commodities. He seemed to sense the sorrowful struggle beneath the veil.
"Thirty thousand!" Yang Mufeng suddenly stood up and shouted loudly. His voice was like magic, penetrating everyone's eardrums and deeply imprinting itself in their souls.
"Thirty thousand?"
"He's gone crazy!"
"Does he have that much jade?"
In an instant, countless doubts arose, and everyone's gaze turned to this strange young man, as if trying to see through him. The entire venue fell silent, even the Lingxiang on the stage was stunned, his body slightly moving.
"Damn kid, do you know where you are? Do you think you can disrupt the peace!" Yu Xiaochun was furious and shouted loudly. Just a few days ago, it was only fifteen thousand, but who would have thought that Yang Mufeng would directly offer an astronomical price. This price was enough to purchase a very good level-three artifact. Even the most wealthy Shen family trading house in the Shaman City wouldn't easily do such a thing. All the people began to doubt Yang Mufeng's identity. Many people in the luxurious private room had already dispatched personnel to start investigating Yang Mufeng.
"In my Moon Full Mansion, no one has ever dared to disrupt the peace. Your Lordship, please rest assured." The red nobleman's expression became more expressive, and he also developed curiosity towards the young man in front of him.
"This is two pieces of essence jade, Boss Hong, please verify!" Yang Mufeng threw his hand, and two red crystals flew out. These were the essence jade given by Duan Tianyi. Pure fire attribute elemental force seeped out in tiny threads.
Boss Hong was shocked and furrowed his eyebrows. Originally just out of curiosity, now he was certain that this young man thought he had a powerful backing. In the entire Shaman City, who could take out two pieces of essence jade at once? It was estimated that only the mysterious Iron Eagle Mercenary Group boss Moller could do it.
"You!" Yu Xiaochun was furious and led a group of people to leave, not worth his spending such a high price for a woman. However, he still felt unhappy in his heart.
"Is there anyone offering a higher price!" Boss Hong shouted, and there was no reply.
Thirty thousand stones was a huge sum for any power. They all lived a life of blood on the knife edge, and even a normal mercenary group's annual income was no more than one million stones. Moreover, the essence jade Yang Mufeng presented was enough to make a level-three master of the element feel tempted. This was a rare treasure with a price that was worth more than its market value. Who wouldn't guess something? There was no confidence to offer a higher price anymore.
"Congratulations, young brother, Miss Lingxiang is yours tonight." Boss Hong smiled lightly, Yang Mufeng strode onto the stage, still doing the same action, his thick arms clamped together, lifting Lingxiang up without caring about the looks of others, and walking forward confidently.
"Young brother, can you leave your name?" Boss Hong shouted.
"Yang Feng!" Yang Mufeng shouted loudly, without turning around, left Moon Full Mansion, and moved at a brisk pace. In a matter of moments, he completely disappeared under the night sky.
Duan Tianyi smiled slightly. From Yang Mufeng's expression, he seemed to have seen something. He knew that tonight couldn't be as idyllic as imagined, with warm jade and beautiful women.
Duan Tianyi knew that Yang Mufeng wouldn't act recklessly. They were orphans since childhood, and what he most hated was the use of guns to bully the weak. In this occasion, it seemed to have aroused Yang Mufeng's heroicistic rage. This also made Duan Tianyi feel relieved.
Duan Tianyi didn't return to the world of heaven and earth. He walked alone on the empty street, arriving in this world, he always felt a lack of the calmness like Yang Mufeng. It seemed that something would happen to them, so he was always on the alert. He had always been a prepared person, not liking to be passive. Since there were too many unknowns, he tried to explore and understand them.
"Lingxiang Miss, don't be afraid, I have no ill intentions towards you!" In the Heavenly and Earth House number room, Yang Mufeng put down Lingxiang and sat down on the side, saying softly, the cynical expression on his face completely disappeared, and there was only sincerity.
