Chen Xue moved with light steps while sensing the aura behind her.
Slow, so slow …
So slow that Chen Xue had no choice but to move forward like a snail.
Amidst the endless stream of people, she, who was dressed in a blue dress and had a graceful figure, was already an eye-catching sight. Her tortoise-like speed directly caused the entire crowd on the street to slow down along with her.
…
"What a beautiful woman …"
"Phew … Everyone says that immortal dao women are pure and elegant. I didn't believe it at first. But now I have to believe it … Although this girl is wearing a veil, her beauty is enough to cause the downfall of a nation … Such a stunning beauty is truly rare. "
Someone in the crowd said.
"This aura is very young. She's probably only in her early twenties and has already reached the peak of the late stage of the Incarnation realm. Looks like she must be an outstanding figure of the younger generation in the immortal dao region who obtained the guardian token … Why haven't I heard of her before? The only person who obtained the guardian token in the Southern Sea Islands and the Western Continent was Jian Wufei of the Western Continent. Her realm is the same, but her appearance and temperament are too different from the rumors … The Eastern Continent only has Xia Youyou, but she was accepted as a disciple of the Limitless Immortal Palace. Could it be that this girl came from another region? "
"Not likely. Our Emerald Smoke City is only the hub city of the Southern Sea Islands, the Western Continent, and the Eastern Continent. In the entire Boundless Continent, it is the worst region. How could immortal dao disciples from other regions come here to train? There's no challenge at all … "
…
"Quick, quick …"
Although the crowd's discussion was very low, there was nothing taboo. How could Chen Xue not hear it?
It had to be said that there was nothing wrong with being a woman. There was nothing wrong with being a beautiful woman. There was nothing wrong with being extremely talented and beautiful. But strolling at tortoise-like speed in a crowded street was too outrageous …
Because of Chen Xue, the entire street had become congested beyond recognition.
This made Chen Xue quite depressed. Especially when she sensed that Chen Hao's speed had become even slower than hers, she was even more depressed. Could it be that she had to stop herself?
…
"What's going on in front?"
Chen Hao looked at the dense crowd in front of him. It seemed to be seriously congested. He felt slightly strange. His mind, which hadn't been activated before, immediately extended over curiously. Chen Hao's powerful Soul Perception was like tentacles that quickly spread forward. Although his line of sight was completely blocked by the crowd, the buzzing sounds of discussion and the appearance of the cultivators could not be hidden from Chen Hao's Soul Perception. It was like a clear image that was more vivid than the naked eye.
"Beauty? What kind of beauty has the power to paralyze the entire street? "
As they approached, Chen Hao caught the crowd's discussion and thought in surprise. However, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.
"Ahem … Why is she here?"
"Chen Hao?" Chen Xue, who had been waiting impatiently for a long time, didn't dare to hesitate when she sensed the familiar aura sweeping past her body. He immediately locked onto Chen Hao and pretended to be surprised. "Why are you here?"
Hiss!
As she spoke, Chen Xue was like an ant on a hot pan, and she directly blended into everything in the world. A strand of faint and imperceptible breeze blew past, and she suddenly disappeared before everyone's eyes.
…
"Why am I here? Of course I'm here to gain experience. But you … Why are you here? "
Chen Hao was slightly speechless as he stared at Chen Xue who'd appeared by his side, and then he directly grabbed her little hand and fused into everything in the world before speaking via voice transmission. At the same time, he swiftly left this place of 'trouble.'
"Of course I'm here to gain experience. I didn't expect such a coincidence …"
"You don't even have a Guardian Order. Why are you here? It's fine if you're here, but why are you dressed up like this? It's fine if you're dressed like this, but you're as slow as a snail. Aren't you trying to please the crowd? "
"What does it have to do with me … I'm just curious. Who knew there would be so many boring people in this strange city? Besides, who said that I can't come out to gain experience without a Guardian Order? With my current strength, what's the point of staying in the Eastern Continent? You're talking about me, but what about you? You walk as slow as a tortoise, and you don't restrain yourself at all … "Chen Xue suddenly shut up halfway." Brother, this city is really magical. Look, there are so many Demon Cultivators and Demon Cultivators … "
"Yeah, it's not just magical, it's even more strange … You clearly didn't detect my aura, so how were you able to lock onto my position? If I'm not wrong … It ought to be the jade slip that you came all the way over just to give me, right? " Chen Hao held Chen Xue's little hand tightly as he turned around and stared at Chen Xue as he transmitted his voice. After he saw Chen Xue's astonished and frowning expression, he continued. "Is there any need to make it so tiring? What's our relationship? Brother and sister! Just say it. Since you've said it, how could I not agree? It's not a big deal … "
Chen Xue utterly never imagined that after she revealed a little in her complacency, not only did Chen Hao know that she'd followed him here in such an instant, he'd even found the source of it. This caused her to be extremely embarrassed, and she more or less turned her face to the side with slight embarrassment to avoid Chen Hao's direct gaze. But what Chen Hao said after caused Chen Xue to turn around and glare at Chen Hao instead, and she said, "We're brother and sister!"
"You don't look like an older sister?"
"Where?"
…
The two of them were in the same state where they'd merged with everything in the world, and they didn't give in to each other as they argued for an entire 10 minutes without a conclusion. In the end, it was Chen Hao's manly demeanor that chose to avoid Chen Xue's' rudeness' before returning to normal.
Needless to say, because of the special 'brother and sister' relationship, the two of them didn't have any psychological barriers when they were together. And Chen Hao didn't blame Chen Xue for following him without permission in the slightest. In fact, it was just as Chen Hao had said, if Chen Xue spoke to him directly, he would absolutely not refuse. Firstly, Chen Xue's cultivation realm and combat strength weren't inferior to his. When the two of them trained together, neither of them would hold the other back. Secondly, after experiencing the training in the Ancient Black Wind Cave and the City in the Sky, Chen Hao liked the feeling of training together with Chen Xue very much. It was a feeling of being unrestrained. Moreover, he wasn't tempted by the feelings between men and women.
This wasn't something that Xia Youyou, Helian Wuzi, and Tantai Lian could compare to. It couldn't be helped. If Chen Xue was replaced by any of the three women, Chen Hao was afraid that he wouldn't be able to control himself when a man and woman trained together alone … Not to mention, if the other party took the initiative, Chen Hao would fall even more …
But Chen Xue wouldn't.
…
"Welcome to the Emerald Smoke Chamber of Commerce!" Two eye-catching figures appeared at the entrance of the reception hall of the Emerald Smoke Chamber of Commerce. Beautiful female attendants stood in two rows on either side of the entrance. After bowing at the same time, one of the female attendants approached Chen Hao and Chen Xue and said warmly and politely, "Sir, Miss, do you need help?"
"I have something to auction," Chen Hao said.
"Alright, this way please!"
…
"The Yao Dao, the Devil Dao, and the Immortal Dao. Could this Emerald Smoke Chamber of Commerce be an alliance of the three forces? "Chen Xue transmitted her voice as the two followed the female attendant into the hall.
"It should be. Since Emerald Smoke City is jointly governed by the three forces, then this is the largest chamber of commerce. Naturally, everyone wants a share of the profits. This Emerald Smoke City is only a small city in the region where the forces of the Boundless World are mixed. However, even the attendants of this chamber of commerce are Golden Core Realm and Nascent Soul Realm experts. Truly amazing … "
…
"May I know what the two of you want to auction?" As they spoke, the two were brought to a reception window. The old man sitting in the cabinet glanced at Chen Hao and Chen Xue with bright eyes and spoke with a trace of a smile. Although he wasn't cold, he obviously wasn't very enthusiastic either. Just based on the two's age and cultivation, it was impossible for them to have anything good. Therefore, without waiting for Chen Hao to reply, he continued, "I think the two of you should know that our Emerald Smoke Chamber of Commerce's largest annual auction will be held in three days. If it isn't a rare and precious item, we can only postpone it to the normal auction in ten days. I'll explain it to the two of you first."
"Is something that can increase one's lifespan considered rare and precious?" Chen Hao smiled and stared at the old man. "I don't want to wait for ten days!"
"It also depends on what it is. For example, the more common Soul Strengthening Grass and Soul Replenishing Lotus. Although they are expensive, if they are auctioned, they won't increase the income by much. What we care about this auction is its rarity and preciousness. Only such items can bring out the value of the auction. Haha … Little Brother, tell us what it is," the old man said with a smile.
The Soul Strengthening Grass and Soul Replenishing Lotus could both increase one's lifespan by one year. However, in the cultivation world, compared to other items that could increase one's lifespan, they were more common and were more plentiful. There wasn't a shortage of them. The reason was that once a spirit medicine that could increase one's lifespan was consumed once, it would no longer have any effect. However, even so, the price was still quite high. If it was auctioned, it wouldn't increase the price by much. Basically, it was to the point where the price was clearly marked and didn't have much auction value.
"Pan Fruit."
"Pan Fruit?" When the old man heard Chen Hao's words, he was stunned. "Little Brother, are you sure? Although the Pan Fruit can only increase one's lifespan by three years, it is very rare … "
Chen Hao ignored the old man's surprise and took out the jade box that he had prepared earlier.
The old man couldn't wait to open the jade box gently. Suddenly, a faint, refreshing fruit fragrance drifted out. After the old man took a deep breath, he hurriedly closed the jade box. He looked at Chen Hao in surprise and said, "Little Brother, your Pan Fruit …"
"Is there a problem? If it's not possible, I will take it to another auction! "
"No, no problem! Don't misunderstand … Little Brother, let's talk inside! "The old man said and waved his hand to open the door next to the window. There was a touch of excitement on his face, and he became unusually enthusiastic. He made an inviting gesture to Chen Hao and Chen Xue.
Chen Hao frowned slightly. Isn't it just a Pan Fruit? Isn't this old man's attitude change too much?
