Chapter 505 The Highest Bidder Wins
Ye Xiaoman was very melancholy.
She sat on a mountain of gold and silver that did not belong to her, looking at the ashes of the Ghost Lord that were so close to her.
Overnight wealth and immense power.
So close, yet so far, she wanted it so badly, but she couldn't take it.
It's like putting a cat in a drier and sealing its mouth.
There are so many fat fish, but you can’t take any of them away.
It's so annoying.
She lay on top of the gold, silver and treasures, with her head facing the door, and gathered the surrounding jewels around her body as a quilt to bury herself.
Close your eyes peacefully.
He was woken up by the roar of the Taotie beast several times and forced to work.
Looking increasingly listless.
Early the next morning, the Taotie beast couldn't wait to set up a game. Ye Xiaoman, Jing Zhui and Zhu Chuideng met again in the illusion.
The meeting point is along the winding coastline.
"Aunt."
"Master's Wife."
Ye Xiaoman followed the instructions of the Taotie beast and wore mourning clothes. She tied two bows on both sides of her bun with white gauze. The sea breeze blew, and her white clothes fluttered like butterflies.
She was controlled by the curse of the Taotie beast and had to get its consent before speaking any words. Seeing that these two prodigals didn't want to talk at all, she sighed, turned her back, and looked at the sea sadly.
What a pretty widow! Zhu Chuideng and Jing Zhui were both stunned.
They were stunned for a moment before turning their attention to their competitors.
Zhu Chuideng was melancholy, thinking about his widowed sister-in-law's long-lasting love. After his uncle died, she planned to find someone who looked like his uncle. Even the pattern on the new person's mask was exactly the same.
Jing Zhui was irritated, thinking that his master's ghost was still lingering. Just as the matchmaker had predicted, he had returned to haunt her. He had suffered severe injuries trying to leave the family, and his master's wife hadn't even asked about it. Could it be that she wanted to sever ties with him and rekindle her past relationship with her late husband?
The Taotie beast was still dressed as a matchmaker, waving her handkerchief seductively, standing between Jing Zhui and Zhu Chuideng and speaking.
"I'm sorry, both of you. The girl you're interested in is too popular, so I have no choice but to call you out to compete face to face."
It used the same trick again and took out the incense burner.
"The girl's meaning is very clear. The one with the highest price wins. I will go with whoever offers the highest bride price."
At this point in the play, the details cannot withstand scrutiny and are full of loopholes. Jing Zhui and Zhu Chuideng are immersed in it and automatically rationalize all the unreasonable things. Upon hearing this, they do not think Ye Xiaoman is being excessive, but are happy in their hearts.
Ye Xiaoman did not directly reject the proposal, indicating that he still had a chance, as long as he could get rid of the person in his way.
The long white silk ribbon in Ye Xiaoman's hair was blown by the sea breeze and flew to Jing Zhui's side. Jing Zhui grabbed it, wrapped it around his fingertips and sniffed it. Young and full of energy, he immediately made a bid: "I'll give you another 10% of my cultivation."
Zhu Chuideng gazed at the back of Ye Xiaoman's head affectionately: "I'll give you 20%."
The Taotie beast was so happy that its teeth were exposed and its eyes were not. "No problem, no problem~!"
Jing raised the price: "30%."
Zhu Chuideng insisted, "Forty percent."
The Taotie beast was so excited that it almost fainted: "Oh!"
Ye Xiaoman was almost frightened to death by their boldness. She started coughing uncontrollably, interrupting the bidding of the two people. Zhu Chuideng and Jing Zhui stopped and looked at her.
Ye Xiaoman turned around in shock, staring at the two men with wide eyes.
"Are you sure you want to continue raising prices?"
Sister Man knew that she was a little charming, but she didn't expect that her charm could kill a demon and a ghost lord in one breath.
She pointed at them and said angrily, "If you hand over all the family property, what will I eat after I marry into your family? Will I starve to death?"
The Taotie beast quickly covered her mouth and said, "The wind is too strong. The girl is getting cold and is a little impatient. She means that you two should decide the winner quickly."
Ye Xiaoman reminded them in time, and Jing Zhui and Zhu Chuideng temporarily gave up their increasingly intense bidding.
Zhu Chuideng held back his anger and asked Jing Zhui, "Brother, what do you want in exchange for giving up?"
Jing Zhui impatiently turned the green marrow bone ring on his little finger, "I will never let go. If you don't get out of here, don't blame me for being rude to you."
The Taotie beast chuckled twice, and when everyone's attention was attracted to it.
"Your strength is quite similar. If this continues, I'm afraid the outcome won't be decided until dawn."
Jing Zhui sneered, "What's your suggestion?"
Taotie Beast couldn't wait to suggest, "Why don't you hand over your fate and let me judge. The one with the stronger fate will win."
The greedy saliva could no longer be held back, and it slowly slid down its sharp fangs and dripped onto the dry sand, corroding a small smoking hole. The pungent smell of decay was like some kind of evil omen, making people shudder.
Ye Xiaoman became anxious again after hearing this: "Woo!"
However, her mouth was sealed and she couldn't say anything. She could only stamp her feet and hint at the two prodigal men with her eyes.
There is a saying among the divine fortune tellers in the world of cultivation: one is fate, two is luck, three is spiritual roots, four is cultivation, and five is inheritance from a master.
A person's fate and fortune should be placed before his innate spiritual roots and acquired efforts.
If a person is born with the destiny of being a strong person, even if he is at the bottom of society and has the worst hand of cards, he will eventually be blessed by strong luck, make his way over mountains and build bridges over rivers, and be protected by heaven and reach the upper class.
If a person has a low fate and bad luck, even if he is born into a top family, he will end up with his family falling into poverty and dying early.
The ghost lords and demon gods can become overlords of a region, they must have a very strong destiny and be above all other living beings.
Ye Xiaoman saw through the ambition of the Taotie beast. It was not satisfied with having obtained half of the two people's cultivation. It knew that it had strength but no destiny, and would eventually be punished by heaven, so it wanted to deceive the two people's destiny.
If the Taotie beast really gets its wish, it would be against the will of heaven. By then, it will be so powerful that it can easily destroy the world.
Ye Xiaoman was so anxious that she wanted to jump into the sea. Zhu Chuideng and Jing Zhui, who were at the center of the scam, finally hesitated and did not agree immediately.
It’s not that he thinks it’s not worth exchanging his own fate for Ye Xiaoman, he’s just considering other things.
Zhu Chuideng was deceived by the illusion of the Taotie beast and thought that he was just a farmer in the countryside. He didn't have any great destiny and was worried that he would lose to Jing Zhui.
Jing Zhui knew that he was a legendary king and his destiny was invaluable. Despite this, he didn't mind giving up his destiny. With his strength and determination, he could accomplish great things even without the blessing of luck.
It seems that Master is not an ordinary person, so there is a certain probability that he will not win.
The Taotie beast grabbed Ye Xiaoman's arm and pretended to leave. "If you're reluctant, we can go talk to someone else."
Jing Zhui and Zhu Chuideng immediately agreed: "Okay."
The Taotie beast immediately took out a treasure scale, and Ye Xiaoman snatched it away with one hand.
She raised her hands high, "Stop!"
"Don't grab it, I want to say a few words too."
The Taotie Beast's good deeds were interrupted by Ye Xiaoman, and it was furious. If Jing Zhui and Zhu Chuideng were not there, it would have torn Ye Xiaoman into pieces and eaten her. "It's none of your business. Get out of the way."
