Upon receiving Pu Xueyi's order, the bodyguards around Lu Yuan immediately began to approach him.

Each of them looked fierce and menacing, showing no remorse or embarrassment whatsoever; clearly, this wasn't the first time they'd done something like this.

Upon realizing this, Lu Yuan's expression suddenly darkened.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Zheng Meng immediately tried to slip away to call Mu Ruxing, who was outside, but was grabbed back by the bodyguard next to her.

"Let me go!"

Zheng tried to break free, but the difference in strength was too great, and he had no chance to fight back. His heart sank.

She glanced at the time discreetly, then her eyes lit up.

When Lu Yuan turned his head, he saw her mischievous expression. After their eyes met, Zheng Meng gave him a reassuring smile, which made him raise an eyebrow.

What idea did this girl come up with?

The idea had barely formed when Zheng Meng heard him advising Pu Xueyi:

"Mr. Pu, do you know what kind of cultivation techniques and spiritual artifacts will be auctioned this time? What if they are things you don't need or that are incompatible with your attributes? Wouldn't you be making a huge loss by taking such a risk?"

Pu Xueyi was slightly taken aback when he heard Zheng Meng's words.

really.

I've heard that the cultivation techniques and spiritual artifacts that appear at each auction are different, so it's hard to be sure that the type and attributes of this one are what he wants.

Seeing that Pu Xueyi was wavering, Zheng Meng spoke up next.

"How about I try to persuade our store manager so we can sit down and have a proper talk? If things get too bad, it won't be good for either of us!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan instantly understood Zheng Meng's intention.

So this girl was stalling for time!

Based on the usual schedule, Mu Ruxing should be back from the auction house soon. Although she didn't know Mu Ruxing's beast tamer level, she knew that none of the people in front of her combined would be a match for Mu Ruxing.

As long as they can hold out until Mu Ruxing returns, Pu Xueyi and his vicious bodyguards won't be able to hurt them!

It has to be said.

Given Jung Mong's abilities, this method is indeed feasible.

Unfortunately, Pu Xueyi, who was in front of her, was a cunning old fox. Although Zheng Meng had grown during this period, she was still not skilled enough.

After a moment's thought, Pu Xueyi understood her intention.

"Trying to stall for time? Even if the King of Heaven himself came today, he couldn't save you!"

Zheng Meng's expression changed, and she couldn't help but feel a little flustered.

Just then.

Lu Yuan, who was surrounded by bodyguards, suddenly spoke.

"Don't worry, today I'll show you what your boss is capable of!"

The words had barely left his mouth.

Then, an extremely beautiful elf girl appeared out of thin air and stood beside Lu Yuan, her large emerald green eyes scanning the surroundings.

"Elves?"

Upon seeing Xiao Yi, Pu Xueyi narrowed his eyes slightly.

It seems this kid has more to offer than he imagined, having even contracted an elf as his tamed beast.

only……

"Hmph! You think you can fight me with a flawed elf who doesn't even have wings? Young man, don't be so delusional!"

Faced with Pu Xueyi's mockery, Lu Yuan smiled faintly and raised his hand to rub Xiao Yi's head.

"Hey kid, how dare this guy look down on you! Beat him up!"

"Eee!"

Xiao Yi responded and immediately gathered the spiritual power within her body.

A golden light appeared from her hand and quickly dispersed, attacking the surrounding bodyguards!

In just a moment.

Before the bodyguards could even react, they were already lying unconscious on the ground.

"Eee!"

Xiao Yi put her hands on her hips, pouted, exhaled heavily through her nose, and then raised her chin at Pu Xueyi.

It was highly provocative.

Although she can't speak yet, she can already understand human language.

She was already angry when Pu Xueyi called her a flawed elf, so after receiving Lu Yuan's order to attack, she immediately unleashed her full power to activate her skill, to see if these people would still dare to underestimate her!

"You...you actually dared to fight back?!"

Pu Xueyi's eyes widened as he stared at the bodyguard lying sprawled at his feet.

"Wasn't it Mr. Pu who started this? Does it mean that only officials are allowed to set fires, while ordinary people are forbidden to light lamps?"

Lu Yuan raised his hand and pinched Xiao Yi's cheek, giving Pu Xueyi a half-smile, the mockery in his eyes was self-evident.

"Fine!" Pu Xueyi gritted his teeth in anger and ordered the two remaining bodyguards behind him, "Summon your beasts and kill him!"

"this……"

The two bodyguards hesitated.

The city has regulations prohibiting the summoning of beasts for fighting without a valid reason. If they were to summon their beasts now, the nature of their visit to the Divine Beast Pavilion would become much more serious.

Seeing that the bodyguards did not make a move, Pu Xueyi could not help but roar angrily.

"What are you waiting for? Get to it now! I'll take responsibility if anything goes wrong!"

Upon hearing this, the two bodyguards exchanged a glance and immediately released their summoned beasts.

Two black dogs, each nearly two meters tall, appeared in the hall, instantly making the space feel crowded.

Freed from the restraints, Zheng Meng stood beside Lu Yuan and, seeing this, also summoned the Seven-Colored Bird from her Beast Taming Space.

"Manager, let me help you!"

Although her Beast Tamer level has just reached the Profound Realm, the Seven-Colored Bird's innate attributes are unique and might come in handy.

Lu Yuan glanced at her but didn't say anything.

In fact, with his current strength, these two people in front of him are no match at all.

However, considering that Zheng Meng meant well, he didn't say anything.

"Still so leisurely even when death is imminent!" Pu Xueyi sneered in dissatisfaction. "Hand over your cultivation techniques and spiritual weapons now, or you can forget about living today!"

Pu Xueyi looked smug and wasn't afraid of Xiao Yi, who had just performed so well.

Judging from spiritual power, Xiao Yi's level is only at the Earth Spirit level, but the two people beside him are fifth-level Earth Spirit Beast Tamers. Their strength is not even in the same league!

However.

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Yuan waved his hand directly at Xiao Yi.

The next second, Xiao Yi's body shone brightly, and that familiar spiritual power spread out in all directions, rushing towards the two bodyguards at an extremely fast speed.

"Hmph! A mere trick!"

The two bodyguards didn't take it seriously at all.

Although Xiao Yi's attack just now directly hit all four of them, that was because she hadn't summoned her beast.

As we all know, the strength of a Beastmaster is far inferior to that of a Beast Tamer. If those four had been allowed to summon their Beasts back then, the situation might have been very different!

Just as Pu Xueyi and the others were about to laugh at them, the two black dogs were suddenly thrown away!

? ? ?

The black dog whizzed past his ear, and Pu Xueyi's smile froze on his face.

what happened?

Shouldn't it be Lu Yuan and his beast getting beaten up in a two-on-one situation?

But how come it was the other way around, with those two black dogs flying out instead?!

Pu Xueyi was roaring in his mind when he heard Lu Yuan speak coolly.

"You still have time to be surprised when you're about to die?"
