However, as soon as Shen Zhaozhao finished speaking, it was as if a switch had been turned on.
"Pfft."
Elder Fenyan was the first to lose his composure; his crimson beard twitched, and he almost burst out laughing. But he reacted quickly, immediately slapping his thigh and roaring in a booming voice, "That's right, kid Gu, what spirit!"
"The future of demon-slaying in Lingzhou rests on your shoulders!"
"How noble! Truly noble!" The elder of Medicine King Valley stroked his beard, nodded with a smile, and his eyes were full of the gleam of "Look at this sucker!"
"Senior Brother Gu...you're so righteous!" Even the poor bastards from the Cloud Misty Sword Sect, clutching their broken swords, shouted out, though their voices were dry and emotionless, but their sheer number made up for it.
In an instant, exclamations of praise such as "Senior Brother Gu is righteous!" and "Tianyan Sect is noble!" rose and fell, sweeping across the entire Yuntai Jade Palace like a tsunami, accompanied by thunderous applause.
Every person who shouted had a face radiating "the light of righteousness," but their eyes shone with a calculating light.
A thousand top-grade spirit stones! If this happens, the Heavenly Evolution Sect will suffer a great loss. When the official auction is held in a few days, won't they be able to snatch up all those good items?
The Tianyan Sect members, who were placed on the bonfire, had a variety of interesting expressions on their faces.
Elder Qingxuan closed his eyes, feeling dizzy and almost unable to catch his breath.
Now, let alone back out, anyone who dares to utter even a single "no" is considered an enemy of the entire "righteous cause of eliminating evil."
Standing in the eye of the storm, Gu Xuanchen felt the "praise" pouring in from all directions. He felt his face burning, more painful than if he had been slapped hundreds of times in public.
Murong Xiao naturally understood Shen Zhaozhao's meaning, and casually cupped his hands in greeting, indicating that he would not compete.
A moment later, Gu Xuanchen stiffly accepted the dusty package that the Yuntai Alliance disciple had carefully presented. It felt light in his hand, yet incredibly heavy, making his hands tremble.
This cannot be kept! This thing cannot be kept for even a moment longer!
What if someone sees us...
With bloodshot eyes, Gu Xuanchen was overwhelmed by a destructive impulse that instantly shattered all reason!
He didn't even glance at the package before his spiritual energy exploded!
"boom--!"
A blinding, dark flame instantly erupted from his palm, carrying a violent aura that could burn everything in its path. It instantly devoured the gray cloth wrapping, along with the square object inside that bore all his humiliation.
The whole process was lightning fast, ruthless and decisive.
Enveloped in full view of everyone, without even a struggle, it instantly turned into a small wisp of ashes, drifting and falling.
The entire Jade Palace fell into a deathly silence once again.
"hiss……"
Shen Zhaozhao gasped and grabbed Yan Qiubai's arm tightly, so hard that Yan Qiubai grimaced.
"Junior Uncle..."
Shen Zhaozhao's voice trembled, filled with unspeakable regret: "I regret it, I really regret it so much..."
Yan Qiubai felt a sharp pain from her pinching, and hearing her trembling voice, he assumed she was terrified by Gu Xuanchen's ruthless methods. He was about to offer a word of comfort when he heard Shen Zhaozhao's tearful, heartbroken growl—
"If I had known that Gu Xuanchen would burn it without even looking at it, I should have stuffed a rag inside and kept the real stuff. Who knows, I might be able to swindle him out of a big sum of money in the future!"
Yan Qiubai: "..."
Yan Qiubai: "???"
no? !
Is what you're saying even human?!
[Ding!]
[The host has been detected to have performed a quadruple attack: pulling down someone's underwear, auctioning off humiliation, hiring shills to inflate prices, and using moral blackmail to flatter and destroy!]
[Triggered a 5-times-5-times-a-Despicable-Strike! Gained 5000 Despicable Points!]
[Current level of immorality: points.]
Hearing the arrival of her "moral points," Shen Zhaozhao completely ignored Yan Qiubai, who had lost all composure. Instead, she began to consider that it was time to break through her cultivation level.
That night.
With her bulging storage bag in her hand, Shen Zhaozhao contentedly slipped into her spatial ring.
The bag contained a full five thousand high-grade spirit stones, heavy with the weight of Xie Linyuan's Star Jade fragment.
It must be admitted that Xie Linyuan was foolish, but undeniably wealthy.
She didn't even have to put in much effort to advertise; she just found a secluded corner and showed the fragment to get some fresh air when a pill cultivator with green eyes, dressed in the robes of a direct disciple of Medicine King Valley, pounced on her and snatched it away.
The kid clutched the fragments like a dog that hadn't eaten for three days seeing a bone, and without a word threw out five thousand high-grade spirit stones. He was so fast that he was afraid that if he was a second slower, other talisman cultivators would target him and pounce on him to snatch it.
Inside the spatial ring.
As soon as Shen Zhaozhao stood up, she looked up and saw Xiao Huang had transformed into human form and was sitting cross-legged on the ground.
The human-shaped Little Yellow, with a look of fascination and a kind expression, rested its chin on its hand and chattered on and on to the Pipi that was "chewing".
"…Little brother, take your time eating. It's all yours, no one's going to take it from you. Tsk, the people who raised you before were really scumbags. My little brother is so cute, what's wrong with him eating a little more?!"
"They just threw them away like that, they deserve to be unlucky for the rest of their lives!"
The Pipi made a satisfied gurgling sound in its throat, its little head nodding little by little, rubbing against Xiao Huang's hand, its big wet eyes blinking, making Xiao Huang's tail and ear tips turn red with cuteness.
"Mother~"
However, as soon as Pipi caught sight of Shen Zhaozhao, it immediately abandoned its "big brother" and pounced over on its short legs, nuzzling its little head against her legs.
Under Xiao Huang's watchful gaze as his affections were stolen, Shen Zhaozhao decisively stuffed the remaining spirit stones into his hand: "You did a good job, I didn't mistreat your brother."
Xiao Huang took the spirit stone bag with a look of disdain: "My brother is my life. I would rather risk my life than let my brother suffer the slightest grievance."
Pipi stared longingly at the spirit stone bag. Following the principle of "whoever feeds me is my mother," the little cub immediately abandoned Shen Zhaozhao's leg and turned to rub against Xiao Huang. It even stuck out its pink little tongue and licked Xiao Huang's hand that was handing over the spirit stones in a flattering manner.
The little yellow weasel shuddered as it was licked, and the whole weasel felt lightheaded. Its hand trembled, and a high-grade spirit stone fell to the ground with a "plop," but it didn't bother to pick it up. It just carefully used its paws to touch the top of the Pipi's furry head, and made silly "hehehe" noises.
Shen Zhaozhao: "..."
She watched as the two kids in front of her, one frantically nuzzling against her, the other grinning foolishly...
That's great.
This is a simple brotherly affection and respect.
He's much better than Murong Xiao, who's always thinking about how to kill his brother.
Seeing that the Pipi wouldn't die anytime soon, and wouldn't grow too big either, after all, even if it was just chewed dry, it would take a while to finish 5,000 high-grade spirit stones.
With a thought, a semi-transparent system screen that only she could see immediately appeared before Shen Zhaozhao's eyes.
The bright red dots in the "morality value" column are so tempting to look at.
Her claws moved faster than her brain, directly stabbing towards the cultivation exchange area. [Ding!]
