Chapter 312: 179, Threats and Bribes
Clearly a stunningly beautiful mature woman with the charm of a seasoned beauty, the deep affection in her eyes was, however, as girlish and fervent as that of a girl experiencing her first love, not at all seeming contrived.
But as Xu Yuan listened to this, he only felt a strange unfamiliarity.
Had he ever said this statement?
But whether he had said it or not seemed to no longer matter.
At least, it didn’t matter in Tao Tiantian’s eyes.
Because this was just an excuse she had casually found.
Xu Yuan watched those autumnal eyes that were drawing closer and closer to his own, and as the color in his pupils rippled, it seemed as though a thousand undercurrents were stirring beneath.
Just as their soft, moist lips were about to touch, Xu Yuan suddenly felt a piercingly cold gaze strike down from the horizon, like a massive boulder bearing down upon him.
Xu Yuan did not stop, but Tao Tiantian did.
She turned, returning an angry glare.
With that turn of her head, she skillfully concealed the embarrassed shyness of a young girl.
A flush as red as the last clinging leaves on a branch, doggedly refusing to fall, blossomed at the roots of her ears.
In the midst of their glare off, a voice that only they could hear rose like a silent thunder or a calm wave.
“You refuse me because of him?”
Xu Yuan’s gaze became startled, realizing something, and his expression grew inevitably strange.
“No.”
Tao Tiantian spoke coolly, her face no longer held the crumpled softness of the beautiful woman from before.
“I’ve said it before, there’s no possibility between us.”
The ancient dragon’s eyes, overlapping like the sun and moon, narrowed, the fog dimming the daylight. Amidst the chaotic play of light and shadow, day and night seemed to merge together, like the twilight’s gloaming.
Seeing this, the Demon seemed unfazed and patiently waited, then after no offers for a while, retracted the item.
Quickly afterwards, following its withdrawal, several demons listed their own treasures in turn, whether for barter, exchange for entry into certain secret realms, or for certain favors.
Xu Yuan glanced at the beautiful woman propping her chin on her forearm and noticed her bored, drowsy demeanor.
It seemed she had brought him here only to broaden his horizons.
“...”
“Guiguzi Feathers, created by the loose cultivator True Person Guigu of the human race, inscribed with the Eight Trigrams Strange Formation, it contains methods for Repel Enemies, Transformation, Concealment of Breath, Concealing One’s Tracks, Hide Shadow, Silence, Evasion Armor, Unloading Force, and much more—exceptionally effective for fleeing one’s life.”
In the midst of his thoughts, Xu Yuan was interrupted by Tao Tiantian’s voice beside him.
Upon hearing the mention of this Treasure Garment, her once-bored expression finally perked up with some interest.
“One piece of Peach Source Divine Wood.”
Upon hearing this, all the demons present hesitated.
The few demons who initially showed some intent to contest suddenly quenched that thought.
Competing against a Return to Void great demon, let alone one of the supreme ten Demon Saints, for an item—even if she wouldn’t violate auction rules to snatch it by force—for the resentment it could incur was not a good prospect.
Therefore, unless it involved something that could suddenly improve one’s realm or was of extreme importance to oneself, no one would bid.
“Deal.”
The mysterious, unknown demon agreed almost without any hesitation.
Xu Yuan looked up, glancing at the clouds and fog above.
Although invisible, he could feel that the old dragon was still watching them.
Xu Yuan thought that after the incident just now, the old dragon would give them a hard time by driving up the price or do something of the sort.
