There are risks involved.
After thinking for a while, Ye Feng finally made up his mind.
Since I can raise enough spirit stones by publicly auctioning elixirs and magical artifacts, there is no need to take risks to save time.
So Ye Feng said, "Miss Li, please tell Master Li that I recently had a mishap during my training and am feeling unwell. After I have rested for a few days, I will take the initiative to visit him at Baicaotang."
Night Wind is employing one of the Thirty-Six Stratagems – delay is the best policy!
After obtaining the Eastern Soul Grass in five days, Ye Feng will leave without visiting Li Honglu.
By then, Li Honglu won't be able to find him even if he wanted to!
"Okay, I understand. I'll go and get back to him right away."
Li Mingzhu said with a smile, and then went to the front hall.
"What? That alchemist ran into trouble during his practice?" Li Honglu's face showed a strange expression.
"That's right."
Li Mingzhu nodded.
Then, Li Mingzhu said tactfully, "That senior said that after he rests for a few days and feels better, he will take the initiative to visit Master Li at Baicaotang, so you don't need to worry."
"In that case, very well, I'll wait for his arrival."
"However, I will still attend the auction held by your Hengfeng Chamber of Commerce tomorrow and the day after. I've got nothing else to do anyway, so I'll just join in the fun."
Li Honglu said with a hearty laugh.
"Welcome very much." Li Mingzhu nodded with a smile.
After Li Honglu left, Li Mingzhu returned backstage and started doing calculations with Li Chang'an.
Tonight's auction saw the sale of over twenty items.
The total proceeds from the auction were over 40,000 low-grade spirit stones!
More than 40,000 low-grade spirit stones, converted into silver, is more than 400,000 taels!
Although 90% of it belonged to Yefeng and Hengfeng Chamber of Commerce could only take 10%, even 10% was more than 30,000 to 40,000 taels of silver!
Moreover, as Ye Feng just mentioned, tonight's auction is just an appetizer.
The auctions tomorrow night and the night after will feature even more and higher-grade elixirs and magical artifacts.
In that case, the auctions tomorrow night and the night after will be even more profitable!
Li Chang'an and Li Mingzhu were both grinning from ear to ear, their mouths almost crooked from laughing.
"I'm going back to my room to rest."
After saying that, Ye Feng went upstairs.
After Ye Feng left, Li Chang'an grabbed Li Mingzhu's hand and pulled her to his side, lowering his voice to say, "Mingzhu, you saw it too. Mr. Ye can make a fortune just by letting a little bit of something slip through his fingers."
"We mere mortals are no match for a martial arts master like Mr. Ye, a figure who can be considered an immortal!"
"So don't hesitate any longer, take action tonight! Even if Mr. Ye doesn't like you, as long as you two have consummated your relationship, he will have some feelings for you, and he will definitely take care of our chamber of commerce in the future."
Li Chang'an's words made Li Mingzhu feel extremely ashamed.
But Li Mingzhu did not refuse.
After hesitating for a while, Li Mingzhu finally nodded and said, "Grandpa, I understand."
It was already late at night.
But the night breeze did not fall asleep.
With Ye Feng's current strength, he could go for days and nights without rest without any problems.
Moreover, the Hengfeng Chamber of Commerce was a new environment for him, and a new environment is naturally equivalent to an unfamiliar environment, so Ye Feng would not completely let his guard down.
Suddenly, a light footstep sound came from behind.
The footsteps stopped outside the door, and then the door was pushed open, and a beautiful figure walked in.
Who else could it be but Li Mingzhu!
What was Li Mingzhu doing coming to my room in the middle of the night?
Could it be that she was tempted by the money?
That's unlikely; she doesn't seem like the type to be greedy.
Ye Feng pretended to be asleep, remaining motionless, wanting to see what Li Mingzhu was planning to do.
Li Mingzhu closed the door and walked towards the night breeze.
When she reached the bedside, she stood quietly for a while, then bent down and brought her bright red lips closer and closer to the night breeze.
Night Wind was quite surprised.
He truly hadn't expected that Li Mingzhu would sneak into his room in the middle of the night to do something like this!
Are the women in the Seven Fairies world really this open-minded?
Just as Li Mingzhu was about to kiss him, Ye Feng suddenly opened his eyes and covered Li Mingzhu's mouth.
"Stop making a scene, okay?"
Night Breeze sat up in bed, frowning as he spoke.
Li Mingzhu was startled by the night wind, and it took her a moment to calm down.
"Mr. Ye...I..."
Li Mingzhu stammered, her already flushed cheeks turning even redder.
The night wind snapped its fingers, and a flickering flame appeared on the candlestick on the table, illuminating the room.
“I have a fiancée,” Ye Feng said.
"What? Mr. Ye, you already have a fiancée? Why have you never mentioned this before?" Li Mingzhu asked in shock.
"You didn't ask me either," Ye Feng said casually.
Li Mingzhu was extremely embarrassed, and after a long while, she continued, "Mr. Ye, didn't you have amnesia?"
"After my injuries healed, my strength returned, and my memories also returned," Ye Feng said without changing his expression.
"I see……"
Li Mingzhu gave a bitter smile.
“Now that I’ve told you I have a fiancée, what are you still doing here? Go away, and I’ll pretend what happened just now never happened,” Ye Feng said.
But Li Mingzhu did not leave.
She took a deep breath and forced herself to say, "Mr. Ye, you not only saved me and my grandfather, but you've also helped our Hengfeng Chamber of Commerce make so much money. I'm afraid I can never repay your kindness in my lifetime, so... so..."
"So you want to repay me with your body? But I already have someone I like, so let's forget about it," Ye Feng said, waving his hand.
Li Mingzhu suddenly stretched out her two slender hands and tightly grasped Ye Feng's wrists.
“I know I am not worthy of your marriage. Mr. Ye, you are so powerful, you can be called a martial arts master, of course I am not good enough for you.”
"However, I am willing to serve you in bed, Mr. Ye. I don't ask for any title or status, and I will not bother you in the future. I only want to repay you with my body..."
As Li Mingzhu spoke, she lifted the blanket and even tried to get into bed.
Ye Feng immediately broke free from Li Mingzhu's hand and gently pushed her, causing her to stagger back several steps.
"I practice the virginity-preserving technique, so I cannot lose my virginity," Ye Feng said.
"How is this possible? This...this..."
Li Mingzhu was stunned and speechless, unable to believe it was true for a moment.
That's certainly not true.
The night wind had already broken her body.
He's now claiming he practices a virginity-preserving technique that prevents him from losing his virginity, but he's just deceiving Li Mingzhu.
But Ye Feng's lie was a white lie. He didn't want to say anything too harsh that would embarrass Li Mingzhu, nor did he want to cross the line with her, so he made up this reason.
