Chapter 1180: Show Affection

"You tricked me." Gui Huang Shen Zi was furious, punching a huge hole in the private room and glaring ferociously at the Ling Xiao Gong private room.

"What do you mean by that, Shen Zi? I have the money to bid higher, don't I?" Ye Chen shrugged casually.

"You..." Gui Huang Shen Zi was so choked up he nearly spat blood. Ye Chen had suddenly raised the bid by 81 million yuan shi, catching him completely off guard, and his head was still buzzing.

"Young friend, are you sure about 90 million?" Chang Shan Zhen Ren asked, eyeing Ye Chen tentatively.

"That goes without saying." Ye Chen smiled.

"Oh my god! Now that's what I call a god!" The crowd below erupted in excitement, gazing at Ye Chen with admiration.

"The pit god strikes, and it's a divine pit indeed."

"An old man like me can tell, this act of showing off is top-notch."

"Young friend has bid 90 million. Is there anyone to raise it?" Chang Shan Zhen Ren wiped the sweat from his forehead and glanced at Gui Huang Shen Zi.

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!" Gui Huang Shen Zi was now twisted in rage, grinding his teeth as if ready to kill, roaring like a mad dog. His violent aura surged, and terrifying killing intent overflowed. With his monstrous appearance, he looked utterly terrifying.

"Shen Zi, if you're not bidding, I might take it home to make soup. Qiong Qi Jing Gu soup should taste excellent."

"Pfft!" As soon as Ye Chen finished speaking, Gui Huang Shen Zi spat out blood and nearly fell out of the private room through the hole.

"An old man like me can tell, this act of showing off is also top-notch."

"First, he made the Shen Chao Shen Zi spit blood, and now he's made Gui Huang Shen Zi do the same. The pit god's skills are no joke."

"Get that memory crystal and take it home to worship."

"Shen Zi, will you raise the bid?" Amid the commotion, Chang Shan Zhen Ren looked at Gui Huang Shen Zi again.

"Raise it!" Gui Huang Shen Zi roared, spraying blood and foam everywhere. That was Qiong Qi Jing Gu, the essence bone of his ancestor, an supreme divine object to him, incredibly important. He had come specifically for it, and 90 million yuan shi wouldn't stop him.

"91 million!" Gui Huang Shen Zi's roar carried his cultivation power, making the auction hall rumble.

"Young friend, be careful not to spray out your liver." A leisurely voice rose from below, from the scholar casually flipping through an ancient book. "90 million is nothing. Your Gui Huang Zong can afford it."

"Who is this guy?" The scholar's words drew everyone's attention.

"Boldly taunting Gui Huang Zong like that—he must be no ordinary person." Many senior cultivators exchanged meaningful glances, especially the Quasi-Saints, who felt immense pressure just looking at the scholar.

"By the way, is Ling Xiao Gong going to raise the bid?" Someone whispered, shifting the focus back to the Ling Xiao Gong private room.

"Fairy, you're getting more beautiful every day." Under everyone's gaze, Ye Chen's voice came from the Ling Xiao Gong private room.

"Ah, be gentler."

"How about you on top?"

"You're so annoying."

"Is this showing affection?" The people below gaped, their expressions a mix of amusement and exasperation. Are you two just carrying on like nothing's happening? That's some high-class drama.

In the private room, however, Ye Chen and Bi You were simply sitting and drinking tea leisurely, not at all like the steamy scene everyone imagined. Their classic lines were just an act.

It worked perfectly, though—Gui Huang Shen Zi nearly fainted.

"Nicely done." Bi You gave Ye Chen a thumbs-up, smiling brightly.

"You're not bad yourself." Ye Chen grinned.

"I wonder, young friend, will you raise the bid?" Down below, Chang Shan Zhen Ren cleared his throat and looked toward the Ling Xiao Gong private room.

"No."

"Kill! Kill! Kill!" In the Gui Huang Zong private room, Gui Huang Shen Zi was still roaring like a mad dog, his face twisted and savage, his killing intent toward Ye Chen uncontrollable, shaking the entire hall.

Pfft!

As he roared, Gui Huang Shen Zi spat out another mouthful of blood and passed out.

The two elders rushed forward in panic, their eyes also filled with endless killing intent. They had never seen Gui Huang Shen Zi suffer such a public loss before—this was an unexpected turn of events.

Sighs and murmurs spread through the crowd below.

What can you say? This is karma. Just bid honestly—why try to show off and cause trouble? Now you've wasted an extra 20 million yuan shi for no reason, and look where it got you!

"Since no one is raising the bid, the Qiong Qi Jing Gu goes to Gui Huang Shen Zi." Chang Shan Zhen Ren smiled, though he felt a strange sense of satisfaction seeing Gui Huang Zong humiliated and Gui Huang Shen Zi spitting blood.

"The auction continues." Glancing at the Ling Xiao Gong private room and then the Gui Huang Zong one, Chang Shan Zhen Ren put away the Qiong Qi Jing Gu and waved his hand to bring out another item—a large bell.

Buzz! Buzz!

The bell was extraordinary, shining with golden light, and as soon as it appeared, it emitted the sound of grand bells, quite impressive.

Strangely, most people below weren't focusing on Chang Shan Zhen Ren but were staring intently at the Ling Xiao Gong private room, wondering if Bi You and Ye Chen were up to something on the bed.

In the end, they couldn't see anything.

Even so, it didn't stop their curious gazes. The pit god's reputation was well-earned.

Chang Shan Zhen Ren felt awkward and coughed lightly, pulling everyone's attention back.

The rest of the auction continued enthusiastically, but without certain participants, it was disappointingly dull. After all, Hua Tian had been brought to tears by the pitting, and Gui Huang Shen Zi had been taken down.

As for the pit god Ye Chen, he was behaving himself now, watching the items but not bidding. He was waiting for the final highlight—the Xing Kong Tu. That was his ultimate goal for coming to Wang Gu Xing.

"You're a troublemaker no matter where you go." A ethereal voice entered Ye Chen's divine sea.

"People don't mess with me, and I don't mess with them." Ye Chen smiled, not surprised at all, as if he already knew who it was.

"Keep a low profile. Gui Huang Zong is not to be trifled with."

"I—" Before Ye Chen could finish, he saw the door to the Ling Xiao Gong private room being forcibly opened. It was the two black-and-white robed elders who protected Bi You, barging in like that.

"Hmm?" The moment the black-and-white robed elders entered, they both froze, staring at Bi You in astonishment. "God Female, your veil?"

"Two elders, is this your way of ignoring my presence?" Bi You frowned slightly at the black-and-white robed elders.

"God Female, forgive us." The black-and-white robed elders quickly bowed and saluted. "Please, God Female, come back to Ling Xiao Gong with us immediately."

"Why?"

"This auction has already offended Tian Fu Shen Chao and Gui Huang Zong. Those two won't let it go—they might ambush us on the way back. It's best to leave while the auction is still ongoing."

"Given the connections between Ling Xiao Gong and Tian Fu Shen Chao and Gui Huang Zong, would their ancestors allow such things to happen?" Bi You replied calmly.

"An ambush is likely, but it won't be a big problem." Ye Chen also smiled faintly.

"How dare you mislead our God Female." The black-and-white robed elders scolded immediately, unleashing their Quasi-Saint pressure. "If not for you, Ling Xiao Gong wouldn't have provoked Gui Huang Zong and Tian Fu Shen Chao."

"Insolent." Bi You stood up abruptly, her beautiful eyes flashing with cold light.

"God Female, we—"

"Two predecessors, I am not a reckless person." Ye Chen also stood up and said with a smile, "As you both saw, they started it first. I was just responding appropriately."

"Good one, responding appropriately." The black-and-white robed elders sneered. "That's your grudge with them. Why drag Ling Xiao Gong into it? Do you know what kind of trouble you've brought upon our God Female?"

"Don't worry, two predecessors. I will help your God Female ascend to her position." Ye Chen chuckled.
