Chapter 3738 Special Match

Hearing someone call him, Ye Bufan turned his head and saw a Red-Clothed Woman sitting next to him, with three sky-piercing pigtails on her head—it was none other than the Qin Family's little devil girl, Qin Muyue.

"So Young Miss Qin is here too."

Ye Bufan had a good impression of this woman; she had helped him out before, so he walked over and sat beside her.

He reached out, took out a lollipop, and handed it to her. For some reason, he always felt that this item particularly suited the woman's image.

"What is this?"

Qin Muyue had never seen this before, and she was somewhat curious.

"Something delicious, a lollipop."

"Looks good."

Hearing that it was food, a gleam of light flashed in the little devil girl's eyes. She then removed the wrapper and put it in her mouth to try.

"So sweet, good, good!"

Qin Muyue was also a foodie; she quickly bit and swallowed the lollipop.

If Ye Bufan hadn't stopped her in time, she would have even swallowed the plastic stick below.

"You can't eat this."

Ye Bufan threw away the stick, then took out another lollipop. "This is meant to be sucked; that's how it tastes best."

"So many rules?"

Qin Muyue took it in her hand. This time, she didn't chew it directly but slowly sucked on it.

"The taste is indeed good."

The little girl, with the lollipop in her mouth, nodded with a blissful expression.

Ye Bufan smiled slightly, for no other reason than feeling that the lollipop perfectly matched her three sky-piercing pigtails.

Qin Muyue was very satisfied with her treat. She reached out and patted Ye Bufan's shoulder, "For the sake of your lollipop, if you ever have any trouble in the future, just come find me. Your Granny will cover you."

"Alright!"

Ye Bufan didn't mind these things; after all, more friends meant more paths. He took out a large bag of lollipops and gave them to the little girl.

Just then, an angry roar came from beside them.

"Ye, you're actually here!"

Ye Bufan looked up and saw Han Lingkuang leading several people into the sales area, his gaze fixed on him.

This Da Shao of the Han Family hated Ye Bufan to the core, so he spotted him immediately upon entering, not even noticing Qin Muyue beside him.

"Oh, it's Young Master Han. Are you also here for the auction?"

Ye Bufan greeted him cheerfully, as if seeing an old friend.

"Kid…"

Just as Han Lingkuang was about to utter some harsh words, he suddenly felt a sharp gaze from beside him.

He turned his head and met Qin Muyue's piercing eyes.

"Youngster Han, what are you looking at?"

Qin Muyue was as domineering as ever.

"Uh…"

Meeting his nemesis, Han Lingkuang's anger instantly vanished, replaced by a wide smile.

"Nothing, nothing. Fairy Qin Muyue is here too. I was just saying hello casually."

After speaking, he immediately ran to a nearby seat and sat down far away.

No sooner had he left than another figure appeared at the entrance. Upon seeing Ye Bufan, his gaze instantly turned sharp, filled with hatred.

Ye Bufan felt a bit helpless. It seemed his chosen seat wasn't ideal, directly facing the entrance, so anyone coming in would see him first.

He hadn't seen this person before, but there was a strong resemblance to Zhao Xingyun in his features; he should be from the Zhao Family.

He guessed correctly. The person who arrived was indeed Zhao Xingfeng, a Core Disciple of the Zhao Family, Zhao Xingyun's biological younger brother, and an Immortal Lord level expert.

Zhao Xingyun's Primordial Spirit had been brought back. While normal Possession and Rebirth were relatively easy, achieving the best effect and preserving as much cultivation as possible was very troublesome.

The nine nether blood lotus being auctioned tonight could increase the blood Qi of the Physical Body and enhance the effect after Rebirth. Zhao Qinglian had sent Zhao Xingfeng here to participate in the auction specifically to bring this immortal spirit grass back.

Unexpectedly, upon entering, he saw Ye Bufan. Indeed, enemies meeting made their eyes burn with hatred.

If not for this man, his elder brother wouldn't have died, the Zhao Family wouldn't have been eliminated, and they wouldn't have lost so much face.

"Ye, you just wait. My Zhao Family will not let you off!"

Zhao Xingfeng wished he could slap this person to death, but this was Yuangu City, the Star Plucking Tower, so he could only suppress the anger in his heart.

"Zhao, what are you doing? Can't your Zhao Family handle losing?"

Qin Muyue's loud shout immediately drew countless gazes.

Zhao Xingfeng glanced at her, and his expression froze. He also couldn't afford to offend this little devil girl of the Qin Family.

Seeing everyone looking at him, he snorted coldly, glared fiercely at Ye Bufan, and walked to a seat nearby.

Just as everyone was about to withdraw their gazes, the door opened, and five more people walked in. The leader was none other than Jian Juechen of the Four Directions Sword Sect.

Behind him were Du Wuju, Yan Wuqing, and a few others.

Without exception, upon entering, their gazes fell upon Ye Bufan.

"It really is true that enemies are bound to meet."

Ye Bufan rubbed his nose, full of helplessness. He hadn't expected an auction to gather all his enemies.

"Ye, I'll be waiting for you on the arena. I hope you can live to see that day."

Jian Juechen finished speaking and led his group to seats nearby.

Qin Muyue, with a lollipop in her mouth, said, "You're not very capable yourself, but your ability to cause trouble is truly extraordinary. You have quite a few enemies."

Ye Bufan chuckled, "What, are you scared? If you're scared, give me back the lollipop."

Qin Muyue glared, her three sky-piercing pigtails shaking continuously, "Joking aside, who has your Granny ever been afraid of? Let alone a few of these broken goods, I wouldn't be afraid even if there were more."

As they spoke, the Auctioneer from the Star Plucking Tower walked onto the auction stage, and the auction officially began.

"Welcome everyone to my Star Plucking Tower…"

After a few brief pleasantries, the opening remarks concluded. The Auctioneer said with a smile, "First, I'd like to inform all distinguished guests that there have been some changes to today's auction catalog. Two treasures have been temporarily added at the end."

"What treasures are they?"

"What exactly are they? Can you let everyone see them first…?"

At this, everyone's interest was piqued. While it was not unheard of for items to be added to an auction last minute, it was definitely rare, and each time it happened, the items were always significant treasures.

"Distinguished guests, please allow me to keep it a secret for now. You will know when the time comes."

The Auctioneer announced the outcome, successfully piquing everyone's curiosity, and then officially began the auction.

"Everyone, our first item for auction today is a significant one. I believe you have already seen it: the eleventh-grade immortal spirit grass, the nine nether blood lotus…"

Generally speaking, auctions tend to place significant items at both the beginning and the end, and today was no exception. The Star Plucking Tower placed the nine nether blood lotus as the first item.

At this moment, a server brought a tray onto the auction stage. When the red cloth covering it was removed, a blood-red lotus, about the size of a plate, appeared before everyone.

The nine nether blood lotus, even from a distance, exuded a strong, rich blood Qi.

Its intense blood-red color made it seem as if the entire lotus was nourished by fresh blood.

The Auctioneer said, "Alright, bidding now begins. The starting price is five million middle-grade celestial crystals, and each bid increment must be no less than five hundred thousand…"

"I bid ten million…"

The auction had just begun when someone made the first bid, directly doubling the price. It was Zhao Xingfeng of the Zhao Family.

He had come specifically for the nine nether blood lotus, so he declared his intentions right at the start.
