Chapter 439: Huang Bingbing
Tang San listened to Zhang Haoxuan describe the situation of the Divine Artifacts Auction Day, and he felt a bit swayed. If he had the chance, he really wanted to participate in this auction. By bidding on these top-notch items, he could deepen his understanding of this world, which would be very helpful to him.
"Is everyone still climbing the Sacred Mountains for cultivation?" Tang San asked.
—Yes, they've been cultivating diligently, and the results should be good. They don't know you left; I didn't tell them.
Tang San said, "Then please inform them that we will have a meeting tonight. You can book a room at the Demon King level."
—Okay.
Zhang Haoxuan agreed without asking what Tang San intended to discuss.
Tang San ended the call and walked toward the White Tiger Grand Hotel. He was surprised when he approached the hotel's entrance. The number of guests entering and leaving the hotel had increased, and it was not just by a little.
The White Tiger Grand Hotel was not something just anyone could afford. Although there were usually guests, it had never been as bustling as today.
The hotel's entrance was packed, and half of the lobby was filled with demons and nymphs of various races.
What’s going on?
Tang San didn’t know what was happening, but he didn’t ask, either. He silently observed for a while and noticed that although the guests in the lobby were from various clans, they were relatively young. There were no god-level powerhouses. Judging by their bloodlines, they were almost all descendants of powerful clans. It was rare to see demons or nymphs with third-tier bloodlines; most had second-tier bloodlines. He even saw members of the Chrono Croc clan.
Without staying any longer, Tang San went upstairs. He was already very familiar with this place.
Reaching the door of the hotel room where he had previously stayed, Tang San raised his hand and knocked.
Soon, a cold voice responded, "Who is it?"
"It's me, Clan Leader," Asura replied.
The door quickly opened. The beautiful face of the Ice Maiden clan leader appeared before Asura.
Unlike the grand attire she had worn during the auction and the armor from the Throne of Frost, today, the clan leader wore a simple gray dress. The dress had simple straps, revealing her fair shoulders. Her perfect figure, contrasted by her cold demeanor, made her look stunning. The contrast between her icy demeanor and her casual dress gave Asura a strong visual impact.
Feeling helpless, he quickly raised his hands in surrender. "Please don't be hasty. Let me explain. I don't know the exact extent of your problems or how they came to be, but I believe I have shown you enough sincerity."
He pointed at the storage bracelet on Huang Bingbing's wrist as he spoke. That was five thousand naturae coins! Had this clan leader already forgotten she had taken his money? How could she turn hostile so quickly?
Huang Bingbing was stunned momentarily, seemingly only now remembering that she had received a large sum of money for no guarantee whatsoever on her behalf. Her expression improved, and the coldness in the air dissipated.
Asura continued, "I am inclined to care for the Ice Maiden clan. Don’t think I am some kind of all-caring saint; it’s simply because one of my human companions inherited the Ice Maiden clan's bloodline."
"What did you say?" Huang Bingbing's beautiful eyes widened instantly, staring intently at Asura. "A human inherited our bloodline? How is that possible?"
Asura was also stunned. "Impossible? Why would it be impossible?"
He had indeed never seen another human with the same bloodline as Wu Bingji. But he instinctively thought that since this was an inheritance of the nymphs, it was only rare in the Empyrean Dominion, which was only to be expected.
But Huang Bingbing's expression clearly indicated that this was very unusual. Otherwise, she would not have been so shocked.
"Of course, it's impossible. Our clan consists entirely of women. How could one of our clan members be with a human..."
A blush appeared on Huang Bingbing's usually cold face as she spoke, and her breathing became somewhat unsteady.
Asura immediately understood what she meant.
In other words, Wu Bingji was actually quite different from other human vassals.
In general, human vassals were descendants of human women violated by male demons or nymphs. Since the Ice Maiden clan consisted only of females, this meant that a human male and an Ice Maiden had produced Wu Bingji.
Asura and Huang Bingbing looked into each other's eyes, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
"But it is true. My companion indeed has your bloodline," Asura said cautiously.
Huang Bingbing moved swiftly in front of him. "Take me to see him. I need to see it with my own eyes to verify his identity."
Asura quickly stood up, smiling wryly. "Clan Leader, please don't rush. My companion is currently climbing a Sacred Mountain for cultivation, but he'll be back by evening. You'll be able to see him then. Shouldn't we first clarify the situation of the Ice Maiden clan? That way, I can make a better judgment as to how to help you."
