The girl who poisoned the girl was dragged to the center of the courtyard by the madam by her hair. Before anyone could react, the stick in the madam's hand had already rained down on her.
The madam wants everyone to see clearly the consequences of harming others.
The poor girl could still let out a few shrill screams at first, but as the sticks continued to fall, her voice gradually became weaker and weaker, and finally she died.
The madam didn't seem to be satisfied and continued to swing the stick in her hand until the girl's body became a bloody mess, a horrible sight.
However, the madam had a different way of "dealing" with the girl who ordered the poisoning.
She sneered at the girl and said, "Humph! Aren't you jealous of others who have benefactors by their side every night? Very well, then I'll grant your wish! From tonight on, you must entertain me every night without rest!"
After saying this, the madam ordered the girl to be locked up in a small, dark room and assigned someone to guard her to prevent her from escaping.
In the days that followed, the girl was forced to receive customers day and night, and was under tremendous physical and mental pressure.
At first, she tried her best to deal with all kinds of guests, but after a long time, she could no longer endure such inhuman torture.
Finally, on a quiet night, while the guards were off guard, she ended her young and tragic life with a white silk scarf...
Guan Muxi followed Hu Yi out of Chunmanlou. However, when she looked around, she couldn't find the familiar figure of An Zeyan.
A trace of doubt surged in her heart. She turned to look at Hu Yi and asked curiously, "Manager Hu, where is the city lord? How come he disappeared in the blink of an eye?"
Upon hearing this, Hu Yi shook his head slightly, a mysterious expression on his face. He slowly said, "The Lord City Lord is of noble status, so he must have extremely important matters to deal with personally. How can we servants know the details?"
After saying that, he continued to walk forward.
After a while, the two arrived at the bustling auction house.
In the private room, Guan Muxi had just found a seat to sit down, and before she had time to warm up her butt, a white shadow suddenly flashed before her eyes and threw itself into her arms at lightning speed.
Guan Muxi was startled by this sudden change. When he saw clearly what was in his arms, the corners of his mouth twitched.
It turned out that what jumped into her arms was a snow-white, furry little fox, and this little fox was transformed from An Zeyan!
"Is this what they call an important matter? The dignified city lord actually turned into a white fox and came to harass me..." Guan Muxi muttered to herself, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
However, looking at An Zeyan's cute appearance, she couldn't help but reach out and gently stroke its soft fur.
An Zeyan seemed to enjoy this intimate gesture. He squinted his eyes comfortably and made a "嘤嘤嘤" sound from his mouth, as if he was acting coquettishly to Guan Muxi.
Hu Yi had long been accustomed to her young master's dual personality. Her heart was as calm as a lake.
Guan Muxi raised her jade hand lightly, and with graceful and skillful movements, she slowly took out the elixir that she had carefully refined to improve her cultivation from the mysterious space ring.
This series of movements flowed smoothly, as if they had been rehearsed countless times.
Guan Muxi showed the elixir in his hand to Hu Yichen and explained softly, "Manager Hu, this time I brought you elixirs of the same category—advanced elixirs. However, this elixir is unique in that it is divided into three different strength levels: low, medium, and high. It's no exaggeration to say that no matter who is in the middle realm, as long as they desire to improve their strength, this elixir can meet their needs."
After hearing this, Hu Yi showed a little surprise on his face.
She slowly crossed her arms across her chest, then leaned back lazily on the back of the large chair. She looked at the person opposite her with a slightly suspicious look and said,
"Dwarf, are you speaking nonsense here?"
As she spoke, her sharp gaze fell on the table in front of her which was filled with various pills.
After a rough count, there are nearly a hundred bottles of these pills!
Hu Yi frowned slightly and continued, "You know, just looking at the spiritual herbs needed to refine these pills, those with advanced effects are extremely rare!"
"Obtaining this kind of spiritual medicine is not an easy task. Even for a large auction house like ours, the number of such spiritual medicines that we can successfully acquire each year is quite limited, no more than a mere 500 plants."
"Moreover, the effects of these elixirs are different. So in my opinion, you are deliberately deceiving me by wanting to produce such a large amount of elixirs, right?"
However, facing Hu Yi's questioning, Guan Muxi remained unusually calm and composed, and she did not show any sign of panic at all.
He just smiled and replied, "If Manager Hu still has doubts and doesn't believe this, he can summon cultivators from the Foundation Establishment Stage, Golden Core Stage, and Nascent Soul Stage, and have them try these pills themselves. That way, they'll know for sure."
An Zeyan, lying in Guan Muxi's warm and soft embrace, had his eyes closed at the moment. He seemed to be asleep, but in fact he was using his powerful spiritual sense to communicate with Hu Yi who was sitting opposite him.
An Zeyan used his spiritual power slightly and said to Hu Yi with his spiritual sense, "Eat."
The word "simple" clearly reached Hu Yi's ears.
Hearing this, Hu Yi was stunned and didn't know how to respond for a moment.
After a moment of silence, she slowly said: "......"
However, before she could finish, she quickly adjusted her mood, put on a fake smile, and continued, "No need. I'll know whether this is true or not once I try it."
After saying that, Hu Yi stretched out his hand without hesitation and accurately picked out a high-level advanced pill that exuded rich spiritual energy from the pile of pills placed in front of him.
This pill is round and translucent in color, and you can tell at a glance that it is of extremely high quality.
For Hu Yi, whose current cultivation level is at the first stage of Nascent Soul, trying to take such a high-level elixir is just right.
She took a deep breath, put the precious pill into her mouth, and swallowed it gently.
At this moment, Guan Muxi, who had been gazing down at the white fox in his arms, also noticed Hu Yi's actions.
Seeing Hu Yi swallow the pill so decisively, and thinking about her sudden change of attitude before, Guan Muxi thought to herself: I guess all this was secretly instructed by An Zeyan.
