Chapter 199 Don’t give me these empty gifts next time. Just give me tens or hundreds of millions and I will be happier.

"Actually, my father is still alive."

Ye Li was stunned for a moment, she didn't understand why Teng Xi told her this first.

Since they were talking about Teng Xi's father, it must be a serious topic. Ye Li restrained the teasing on her face, straightened her chest and listened carefully to what Teng Xi said next.

"When my mother and father forcibly terminated the partnership contract, my father was worried about my young age, so he immediately took a drug."

"That drug can keep my father calm, soothe his manic mood, and prevent him from becoming an irrational beast, but the side effects are also very serious."

"It will cause my father's cultivation to continue to decline, his physical condition to become worse and worse, and his life span to continue to shorten."

"Logically speaking, my father should have died three years ago." Teng Xi pursed his lips slightly and continued,

"But by chance I discovered that the Purple Rhythm Dragon King Ginseng can prolong my father's life."

"So I bought a large amount of this medicinal material to treat my father's illness."

"But this medicinal material is very expensive and rare, and my father has a great demand for it, so it is often in short supply."

"In order to avoid this situation, I ordered people to open up a medicinal field to plant Purple Rhythm Dragon King Ginseng to extend my father's life."

"Mining this medicinal field requires a lot of Beast World Coins, and it requires multiple attempts."

"Due to weather and other reasons, the harvest from the medicinal field is always unsatisfactory. We have to invest more Beast World Coins to repair it."

"Plus, the medicinal field is used to prolong my father's life. It is not sold on a regular basis, so the loss is about 5 billion every year."

A loss of 5 billion in one year!!! Ye Li took a deep breath, this is simply a bottomless pit.

But...does this have anything to do with what they were talking about in the first place?

Ye Li was about to correct the topic when she heard Teng Xi slowly say, "Selling females may be one of the fastest ways to make money."

"However, I am not selling females just to earn Beast World Coins."

"The Holy Rhythm Priest once predicted that when I sell 200 females, my father's illness will be cured." And all other aspects will prosper and all problems will be solved.

(Priest Shengyun is Tengxi's aunt and the closest sister to Tengxi's father. When Tengxi is not free, the auction house is managed by Priest Shengyun.)

(Jinxi Auction House was also established by Shengyun Priest with a large amount of Beast World Coins. It can be said that Shengyun Priest is the top two shareholders of Jinxi Auction House.)

"So you started trafficking females?" Ye Li raised her hand and pinched Teng Xi's cheek, asking with a grin.

"Yeah." Teng Xi hummed lightly, lowered his eyes, and was embarrassed to look Ye Li in the face. "Although I sell them, I sell them to people with good family conditions."

"Have you sold enough now?" Ye Li held Teng Xi's cheeks with both hands and forced him to look at her.

"It will be exactly 200 this time." After saying that, Teng Xi looked at Ye Li with burning eyes and hope. Could Li be the turning point that his aunt mentioned?

Ye Li and Teng Xi looked at each other with eyes full of hope, and raised their eyebrows slightly.

"You believe in the predictions of the Holy Rhythm Priest so much? Aren't you afraid that the Holy Rhythm Priest's predictions may be wrong and you will be implicated?"

Teng Xi smiled and shook his head and continued, "No, my aunt is the most powerful priest in this Beast World." At this point, a hint of pride appeared in Teng Xi's eyes.

The most powerful priest?

Ye Li lowered her eyes and twisted the corner of her clothes. Since Teng Xi had such a powerful priest by his side, Ye Li felt that she should start to re-examine the ins and outs of the story.

"So you knew I would come to you, and you would have taken me to your mansion even if I hadn't asked you to?"

Teng Xi didn't expect Ye Li's intuition to be so sharp. He turned his eyes to the left and pursed his lips.

"No."

"No?" Ye Li's voice ended in a particularly high pitch, with a scrutinizing tone.

After saying that, she stood up from Teng Xi's arms, then sat down on the bed beside her, with her arms around her chest and her cheeks puffed up.

"I don't believe you. You've hidden it from me. I don't like you anymore. I want to go back to heaven. I don't want you to be my beastly husband anymore."

Teng Xi moved to sit next to Ye Li and stretched out his hand to squeeze Ye Li's hand. "I don't want to hide it from you, but you have to answer me first, are you the saint female that I sold?"

"This... you are going too far, aren't you? Which Saint Female are you talking about? How do I know when your auction house has ever auctioned a Saint Female?"

Is it okay to ask her if she is the holy female who was auctioned off by Teng Xi?

Ye Li shook her head, ready to adopt the tactic of not knowing anything about the question.

Seeing Ye Li not wanting to admit it, Teng Xi raised the corner of his mouth into a faint smile.

"Aren't you clear? Do you want us to verify it on the spot?" After saying that, Teng Xi stood up and covered Ye Li's petite figure in his shadow.

He stretched out his fingers and slid them into Ye Li's collar, then pulled it down, revealing a small piece of snow-white skin.

"What are you doing?" Ye Li raised her hand to wave away Teng Xi's fingers, and retreated two meters back from the bed in panic.

Why did Teng Xi suddenly become so proactive? It made Ye Li feel weird.

"I'm just kidding. I know it's you. Your blood tastes the same."

(When Tengxi bit the back of Jiuli's neck, he already suspected that Jiuli was 80% Ye Li, but Jiuli and Ye Li looked completely different, which made Tengxi feel uncertain.)

(After confirming that Ye Li could transform into a soaring snake, Teng Xi was extremely sure that Jiuli was Ye Li.)

"I don't believe it. I don't understand. My female seven-tailed civet cat is still waiting for me. President Jin Xi, I'm leaving first." Ye Li's tone was distant. She jumped off the bed, waved at Teng Xi, and then moved towards the door.

"Wait a moment." Teng Xi put his arms around Ye Li's waist, pulled her tighter in his arms, and kissed her on the neck.

"I'm sorry that I auctioned you off to Long Yin. I don't have much to offer. This is one-third of the auction house's assets. I'm giving it to you to apologize."

Ye Li carefully examined the contract in her arms. You know, the market value of the entire auction house might be 30 billion, and one third of it would be at least 8 billion.

Ye Li's eyes became more and more hot, and she suddenly felt that she had become rich.

"Heh... You think you can please me with just a few billion? Am I that easy to please?" Ye Li puffed out her chest proudly, but although she said so, her body honestly put away the contract.

She raised her hand and patted Teng Xi's shoulder. "Next time, don't give me these empty gifts. I will be happier if you just give me tens or hundreds of billions."
