What should we do? Although Aju is a divine beast, it is too badly injured and its strength is greatly reduced. It may not be able to defeat Baili Xuan.
At this moment, Dongfang Mian saw Baili Xuan standing on a clump of weeds and wondered if it was okay to do so.
A faint green light appeared in Dongfang Mian's palm, and she silently chanted in her heart, "Entwined vines."
In an instant, the weeds under Baili Xuan's feet seemed to be given new life, growing strong and quickly wrapping around Baili Xuan's feet as he charged forward.
With a "thud," Baili Xuan fell heavily to the ground.
Without hesitation, Aju stepped on him and gave him a good scratching spree. With this fall, Baili Xuan's spiritual energy dissipated in one breath, leaving him only able to passively take the beating.
Baili Tian watched this scene in horror. A moment later, she and her brother lay on the ground, their bodies mangled and bloody.
With a graceful turn, Dongfang Mian left with a victor's smile.
The surrounding crowd held their breath, exchanging bewildered glances. They couldn't help but applaud Dongfang Mian in their hearts. This was incredibly impressive! The Baili family's most favored prodigy and little princess had been brutally beaten in the street by a cat. The Baili family would certainly not let this go easily. Everyone was eagerly anticipating what would happen next.
Back at their lodgings, Dongfang Mian hurriedly said to Yan Lin, "I'm sorry you had to go through all that trouble. After we get back from the auction, we'll go find something that can help you recover."
"Hmm," she thought Yan Lin would be angry, but to her surprise, he just agreed and went back to rest.
"Do you think he's angry?" Dongfang Mian asked after Yan Lin left.
"Need I say more? A dignified big shot in the Three Realms, being publicly called a useless male concubine, aren't you angry?" Aju said while licking her fur.
"We don't even know if he's really a big shot in the Three Realms, how can you be so sure?" Dongfang Mian rolled her eyes at it, annoyed.
“If I say he is, then he definitely is. I guarantee it with my status as a divine beast,” Aju said, raising a cat paw.
"Whether you are truly a divine beast remains to be verified," Dongfang Mian said, scrutinizing it with suspicion.
"Hmph, this divine beast is angry too," Aju arrogantly wiggled her butt and jumped onto the chaise lounge, burying her head in her body and ignoring Dongfang Mian.
Dongfang Mian smiled and, without bothering to coax it, sat on the bed and began to cultivate.
In the following days, Dongfang Mian and the others did not go out, and the Baili family did not come to cause trouble. Dongfang Mian thought that Baili Xuan's loss to him might have made him lose face in the family.
The day of the auction arrived. Dongfang Mian, along with Yan Lin and Aju, checked out of their room, planning to return directly to Suzaku Academy after the auction.
Upon entering, they displayed their bronze VIP cards and were seated in VIP seats on the first floor, very close to the auction stage.
People attending the auction entered one after another. A few seats away, Dongfang Mian spotted Baili Tian and Baili Xuan with expressions that looked like they wanted to devour someone.
What a small world! Dongfang Mian casually rolled her eyes at them and then ignored them.
The auction started quickly. At first, low-grade pills, spiritual artifacts, and spiritual herbs were all offered. No one in the VIP area was interested in these items and did not bid. These items were quickly snapped up by the people sitting in the back rows.
As the atmosphere at the auction heated up, Linglong Trading Company finally brought out its first valuable item for the day—the Beast Spirit Pearl.
This item increases the favorability of monsters, meaning that carrying it with you makes it easier to tame monsters. The beast tamers present cheered.
