"I'm not that great, I'm just relying on my family's influence."

Song Yaxing didn't explain much. She just smiled and pushed the mermaid pearl in the brocade box in front of Jiang Deng, "This is the mermaid pearl that the guest asked us to give to you."

"Okay, here are the 10,000 top-grade spirit stones and Hongmeng Spring water I prepared. Take some."

With a painful look on her face, Jiang Deng took out the spirit stones she had accumulated for a long time and a jade bottle containing Hongmeng Spring Water from the Eight Gates World.

The spirit stones she took out were so many that they almost formed a small hill. In addition to the top-grade spirit stones, there were also high-grade and mid-grade spirit stones.

Jiang Deng had been saving these spirit stones for a long time, and the total amount was only a little over 10,000 top-grade spirit stones. But this time, he had completely plundered all of them...

Seeing Jiang Deng's face full of pain, Song Yaxing wanted to laugh, but she forced herself to hold it back. She coughed lightly and said, "Before the guest left, he said he had a connection with you, so he gave you the mermaid pearl for free."

"What?!"

Jiang Deng was stunned for a moment. She was so surprised that she fainted.

Although the mermaid pearl was indeed hers, she didn't need to spend spirit stones to buy it.

But the key point is that after the woman in red got the mermaid pearl, she didn't intend to return it at first, and then she wanted to sell it. But after selling it, she didn't want her spirit stone?

Aren’t these actions too strange?

It's impossible that he changed his mind after recognizing her soul, right?

Jiang Deng was completely confused by this series of questions.

As if noticing Jiang Deng's confusion, Song Yaxing continued to explain, "That customer has already left. Even if you insist on spending spirit stones to buy it, the spirit stones won't be transferred to her. So you can take the Mermaid Pearl away without paying."

“…”

Jiang Deng felt even more strange inside. She had no idea whether the woman in red who occupied her previous life's body was an enemy or a friend.

However, it is always best if she doesn't have to spend spirit stones to buy it.

Jiang Deng quickly and happily put the spirit stone back into her own Eight Gates World. Just when she was about to put away the Hongmeng Spring Water, an urgent voice suddenly sounded.

"Wait a minute!"

Song Yaxing's face showed a hint of embarrassment. "Um... I sincerely want to buy the Hongmeng Spring Water from you and want to give it to the owner of our Jinshi Auction House. I wonder what price you are willing to sell it to?"

Jiang Deng thought about it and decided to take this opportunity to make friends with Song Yaxing. After all, the Jinshi Auction House’s business was everywhere in the Ten Realms. In the future, she would have to go to other spiritual realms and would need the help of the Jinshi Auction House.

So, Jiang Deng pushed the jade bottle containing Hongmeng Spring Water to Song Yaxing and said simply, "Just give me a token that can represent my status as a distinguished guest of the Jinshi Auction House. For example, I can get a discount at your auction in the future."

“It’s natural!”

Song Yaxing smiled and handed a golden stone token to Jiang Deng. "Thank you for your high regard for our Gold and Stone Auction House. With this token, you can visit any Gold and Stone Auction House in the Ten Realms. Just give us a command, and we will do our utmost to assist you in anything you do!"

"good."

Jiang Deng chatted with Song Yaxing for a few more words before saying goodbye and leaving.

After this trip to the Jinshi Auction House, I can't say I came back with a lot of stuff, but I didn't lose anything either.

However, when she walked out of the Jinshi Auction House, she was completely dumbfounded.

On the street, there were ghost cultivators everywhere who had just come out of the Jinshi Auction House.

In full view of the crowd, Bai Sitang shamelessly lay on the ground, pulling at the corner of the clothes of a woman in red wearing a ghost mask, and refused to let go.

"Mother!"

"Mother, please don't go!"

"Look back at the child. The child looks exactly like you. He is your own flesh and blood!"

…

However, no matter what Bai Sitang said, the woman in red ignored him.

It was not until Bai Sitang was no longer satisfied with just pulling the corner of the woman in red's clothes and tried to forcibly turn her body around with his hands to make her look at his own face that the woman in red completely lost her temper.

"Get out of here, idiot. I'm not your mother."

After she finished speaking, the woman in red kicked Bai Sitang ten feet away, completely ignoring the fact that Bai Sitang was lying heavily on the ground, vomiting blood and looking like he was about to die. She decisively tore through the space and was about to leave.

Before leaving, the woman in red glanced at Jiang Deng intentionally or unintentionally.

"Ginger, ginger lantern!"

Bai Sitang finally managed to get up from the ground, spitting out blood while begging pitifully, "Don't you also know how to tear space apart? Hurry and tear space apart, and take me to chase after my mother!"

Hearing this, Jiang Deng looked doubtful. He pointed in the direction where the woman in red disappeared and checked again and again, "Wait, what do you call her?"

"Of course it's my mother! She's my mother!" Bai Sitang said proudly, "My mother is the famous Venerable Jiang Deng. Are you scared?"

Jiang Deng: “…”

She was indeed scared.

What she was afraid of was that she would have a mentally retarded son someday, and how come she didn’t know about it?

If this son was not born to her, then he must have been born to the second disciple?

Upon hearing this news, Jiang Deng was completely stunned...

"What are you still standing there for? Take me and chase my mother! Once she sees my true appearance, she will definitely recognize me and will never ignore me!" Bai Sitang said every word with certainty.

"Just shut up!"

Jiang Deng couldn't help but slap Bai Sitang on the back of the head, successfully making him spit out more blood.

Bai Sitang turned his head and looked at Jiang Deng with a look of grievance, "...Why did you hit me?"

Jiang Deng sneered, "Is it possible that you are too stupid and no one wants to acknowledge a stupid son like you?"

Bai Sitang: “…”

Just at this moment, seeing the woman in red leave, the ghost cultivators who had been staring at Jiang Deng and Bai Sitang for too long all approached here with bad intentions.

"How dare a living person enter a ghost town? Aren't you courting death?"

"Hehehe...that female cultivator is so rich, we got rich!"

…

Seeing that a group of ghost cultivators were gradually approaching.

Bai Sitang couldn't help but tremble in fear, shrinking behind Jiang Deng, trying to reduce his presence.

Jiang Deng took out the heavy light sword and looked at the ghost cultivators around him vigilantly.

——

The other side.

The woman in red, who looked very similar to Jiang Deng's previous life, tore through space and instantly arrived at the Netherworld Ghost City where the Ghost Emperor lived.

"Ghost Emperor, what you want."

The woman in red took out a jade bottle from her sleeve. When she opened it, she saw a miniature version of her soul. It was vaguely visible that this soul had a half-human, half-fish form. He had his eyes tightly closed and looked very weak.

"Yeah?"

A deep male voice sounded.

Then, the man in black clothes with his back to the palace door slowly turned around, revealing double pupils in his eyes. It was Xiao Chen himself.
