Chapter 172 Being Targeted



After everything calmed down, the woman lay lazily on the bed, looking at the handsome man kneeling at her feet, his body covered with red scratches she had left behind, and slowly said, "Wang Baiyu, have you and your delicate fiancée slept together?"

The man lowered his eyes, his expression somewhat ambiguous in the dim light. After a long while, he finally uttered two words, "Never."

The woman laughed, casually lifting her leg and slowly teasingly pressing her delicate, white foot against the man's chest from bottom to top, saying each word clearly, "This city lord now commands you to please me properly."

The man froze, then slowly bent down, embraced the woman's slender waist, and gently bit her.

The woman could no longer resist running her hands into his hair, tilting her head back and panting.

"Wang Baiyu, your body is still quite good. Before I get tired of playing with you, you'd better not get yourself dirty."

"Yes, sir."

The woman's sobs had barely begun when the man forcefully silenced her with his mouth.

...

At the city gate,

The commander of the Netherworld City suddenly paused, and a slightly hoarse female voice entered his ears.

“Yayoi, let’s do something different this time. The number of spots has been reduced to two. One will go to the highest bidder; the other will go to whoever survives to the end.”

"Among the male cultivators who come in, those who are good-looking should be kept in sight."

He was already used to hearing such sounds. The city lord liked to keep male concubines, and he probably just got off the bed of that pretty boy Wang Baiyu and was bored.

A moment later, Yayoi, the commander of the Netherworld City, looked at everyone and said, "The rules for entering the city have changed. From today onwards, there will only be two spots available each day to enter the Netherworld City. The first spot will be awarded to the highest bidder; the remaining spot will be awarded to whoever survives to the end."

As soon as the words were spoken, everyone subconsciously distanced themselves from those around them, then warily watched the movements of everyone around them.

Most of those who were able to come to the Netherworld City were figures on the wanted list of the cultivation world, and none of them were simple. They secretly took out their magical weapons, waiting only for the order to fight so that they could start their attack.

However, after waiting for a long time, the commander of the Netherworld City did not make any move.

Lu Fuyue and Song Zhou stood at the very back of the crowd, some distance away from everyone else.

Lu Fuyue silently analyzed the current situation. Most of these cultivators were at the peak of the Golden Core stage, and a few were at the Nascent Soul stage.

With her current cultivation level at the peak of the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, she would need to use her divine fire and the power of her phoenix bloodline to deal with a Nascent Soul cultivator.

However, this could expose their identity.

Just then, the commander of the Netherworld City raised his hand and waved his hand. Countless black beams of light suddenly rose from the ground around everyone, forming a barrier that trapped all those who wanted to enter the Netherworld City.

"Now we will begin the bidding for the first spot. The highest bidder will be able to leave the barrier and enter the Netherworld City."

Immediately, everyone fell silent. If they had enough spirit stones, they wouldn't have come here to seek refuge. Besides, wasn't there still a spot to enter the Netherworld City? Why waste so many spirit stones?

Therefore, after a long time, only a few cultivators spoke up and made bids, but the highest bid was only five hundred high-grade spirit stones.

Lu Fuyue's eyes darkened slightly. Just as she was about to speak, Song Zhou grabbed her arm and turned to look at her. "Senior Brother Lu, you go in first."

Lu Fuyue paused, then asked, "Are you sure?"

Song Zhou nodded.

Lu Fuyue remained silent for a moment, and said nothing more. After all, it was his own decision, and she had no reason to interfere.

In that case, the first spot should go to her.

After a moment, no one continued to bid, and the scene suddenly quieted down. But beneath this calm surface, a storm was brewing.

The Netherworld City commander's voice rang out again, his brows furrowed, "Is there anyone else bidding?"

Everyone fell silent. Five hundred high-grade spirit stones were a fortune for people like them who were often on the run.

Lu Fuyue suddenly stepped out from behind the crowd, looked ahead, and said calmly, "I will offer 1,000 high-grade spirit stones."

Upon hearing this, the cultivators present were startled and all turned to look at Lu Fuyue.

"Where did this kid come from? I feel like I've never seen him before."

"Such a generous offer, could he be a disciple from some sect who's out for a trip?"

...

The people of Youming City also looked at Lu Fuyue. A young man dressed in white, with a tall and elegant figure, slowly walked out from the crowd. His face was as beautiful as jade, and he was as elegant and refined as a snow lotus on Tianshan Mountain.

They exchanged a glance, then walked excitedly to their commander's side, squatted down, and whispered in his ear, "Commander, should we invite this man into the city lord's mansion?"

This face is much more handsome than those pretty boys in the backyard of the city lord's mansion. Even Wang Baiyu, the city lord's favorite recently, is not as stunning as the white-clad youth in front of him.

If she were to offer him to the city lord, would she even deign to look at Wang Baiyu, that powerless mortal?

Yayoi's deep gaze fell on Lu Fuyue's face, and thinking of her own city lord's preferences, this person indeed had an outstanding face.

"May I have your name?"

Lu Fuyue lowered her eyes and nodded slightly, "Lu Xing."

However, the moment this name was uttered, Yayoi's expression changed slightly: Lu Xing?

This person's name is actually Lu Xing.

Song Zhou walked up with some worry and stood beside Lu Fuyue. The people in Youming City were clearly seeing something wrong with Senior Brother Lu. However, as soon as he came up, their gazes fell on his face.

"Commander, this one is quite good-looking too. Why don't we offer them all to the city lord?"

Upon hearing this, the Netherworld City Commander stared intently at Lu Fuyue for a few more moments, then said, "The first spot is yours. Just hand over the spirit stones before you go in."

Lu Fuyue looked up at him and said, "Thank you, Commander."

The next second, her figure appeared outside the barrier, but she did not immediately walk into the city gate. Instead, she turned her head and glanced at Song Zhou.

Song Zhou smiled at her, his lips seemingly saying, "Don't worry, I can do it."

Lu Fuyue's eyes darkened slightly. After a moment of silence, she turned and handed over the spirit stones, heading towards the gate of the Netherworld City. Her figure quickly disappeared into a gray mist.

The people from Netherworld City were somewhat puzzled, "My lord..."
