Chapter 3938: Playing hard to get?

When Ye Bufan saw the woman’s appearance, he was completely stunned.

The reason was simple: the person he had gone to such lengths and spent fifty million High Grade immortal crystals to save was not the White-Clothed Woman.

The woman before him was equally beautiful beyond words, radiant, exuding a suffocating beauty from head to toe.

Moreover, her attire and the aura she emitted were extremely similar to the White-Clothed Woman, which was why he had mistaken her earlier.

But upon closer observation now, he realized the two were still different; compared to the White-Clothed Woman, the fox woman before him lacked a certain demeanor and charm.

As he looked at her, a hint of disgust flashed in the woman’s eyes, her expression incredibly cold, standing there without a word.

Ye Bufan regained his senses and couldn’t help but ask, “Who are you?”

“Who I am, does it matter?”

The woman spoke, her voice incredibly pleasant, yet tinged with coldness.

“You Human Race people, you went to such lengths to buy me back, wasn’t it all for the heavenly fox pearl?

What does it have to do with who I am? It’s enough to know that I am from the Sky Fox Clan.”

Ye Bufan shook his head slightly, “You’ve misunderstood. My saving you has nothing to do with the heavenly fox pearl.”

“Nothing to do with it?”

A hint of mockery flashed across the woman’s exquisite face, “Not for the heavenly fox pearl? Then what is it for?

Are you saying you have so many immortal crystals that you can’t spend them all, and just casually throw out fifty million?”

“That’s not what I meant. I initially thought you were a benefactor of mine, which is why I tried every possible way to save you.”

Ye Bufan wanted to ask what relationship this fox woman had with that White-Clothed Woman, and why their auras were so similar?

But after thinking about it, he didn't know the White-Clothed Woman's name or her identity, so he ultimately held back.

“Hahaha, cunning Human Race, do you think you can deceive me like this?”

The woman curled her lips, “If you want the heavenly fox pearl, you can kill me now. If you want Dual Cultivation, that’s also fine, as I have no power to resist.

But if you want to play other tricks, to make me willingly hand over the heavenly fox pearl to you, that’s absolutely impossible. You can give up on that idea; not in this life, nor in the next!”

“Forget it, I don’t need to explain to you.”

Ye Bufan stopped talking, raised his hand, and unsealed the woman’s cultivation.

“Alright, you can go.”

Although he had wasted fifty million High Grade immortal crystals, he had ultimately saved a life, and he wouldn’t take the fox woman back to be auctioned again.

Moreover, this fox person definitely had an unclear relationship with the White-Clothed Woman, so saving her could be considered repaying some kindness.

“Let me go? Is this a feigned retreat?”

The woman’s gaze was filled with disdain and contempt, “I know all your Human Race tricks too well. Don’t play these games; they’re useless, I won’t fall for it.”

“There’s no feigned retreat; I really am letting you go.”

Ye Bufan didn’t care about the woman’s attitude. After all, anyone who had been captured and auctioned as goods would definitely not be in a good mood, and saying some venting words was completely reasonable.

“Be careful in the future, don’t fall into their hands again, otherwise I won’t be able to help you.”

After speaking, he stepped aside, clearing the path to the exit.

“You’re really good at acting.”

The woman curled her lips, “Since you insist on doing this, then I’m really leaving.”

With that, she stepped towards the door, her expression casual, her steps lazy, as if she was ready to be caught back at any moment.

One step, two steps… But she had completely walked out of the room, and there was still no movement behind her.

Standing in the courtyard, she was a little surprised. She carefully looked around, confirmed there were no ambushes, and then looked back at Ye Bufan.

“Not making a move yet? Otherwise, I’m really leaving!”

Although she had appeared disdainful in the cage earlier, she had actually seen everything at the auction clearly.

This man in front of her had spent a full fifty million High Grade immortal crystals to buy her back. Could he really just let her go like this?

How could that be? This completely did not conform to the Human Race’s habits.

Ye Bufan was too lazy to speak to her this time. He simply raised his hand and waved, and the door slammed shut with a bang.

The woman’s expression changed; her previous disdain and composure were gone, replaced by utter shock.

Then she bit her lip, and her figure flickered, disappearing from where she stood.

Inside the room, Ye Bufan paid no mind to her departure, but Shen Qiyun shook her head slightly.

“I didn’t expect to spend so many High Grade immortal crystals just to save a stranger.”

“There’s nothing to complain about.”

Ye Bufan said, “No matter who she is, she is ultimately a life, and compared to immortal crystals, life is priceless.”

Although the other party was from the Sky Fox Clan, in his heart, there wasn’t much difference between the lives of Yao Beasts and humans.

If his relationship with Yao Beasts was good, they could be like Xiao Qing and Meiqi, like his own family.

If he encountered greedy and vicious Yao Beasts, they were no different from human enemies, to be slain with a single sword.

Situ Dianmo asked, “Ye Dage, what do we do next? What are we planning?”

“I plan to inquire at the Star Plucking Tower about any news of a bodhi heart and kirin horn, but before that, we need enough immortal crystals.

Otherwise, even if we get news, we probably won’t be able to obtain them.”

Ye Bufan deeply understood the importance of money; without money, it was difficult to move anywhere.

“So, I don’t plan to leave for now. Centering around Lieyuan City, I’ll first temper myself in the Hunter's Fate Starfield, search for some treasures, and raise my strength.

At the same time, I’ll inquire about the bodhi heart and kirin horn to gather the treasures as soon as possible.”

The others nodded, feeling this was the correct path.

After all, this was the Upper Heaven Domain. Although Xuan Yuan Linglong and Ye Tian had now Breakthrough to Immortal Emperor, they were only at the Early Stage, and their strength was still much weaker in comparison.

Although they were eager to wake Yuan Yao Fairy, one had to eat one bite at a time and walk one step at a time.

As everyone was discussing, the door suddenly opened, and a figure appeared at the doorway.

Everyone turned their heads together and were momentarily stunned; the one who entered was precisely the fox woman who had just left.

Ye Bufan frowned slightly, “Do you still have something?”

The woman stared at him blankly, her expression extremely complex, as if she wanted to say something but found it difficult to speak.

This expression, coupled with her extremely beautiful face, made one’s heart involuntarily fill with infinite pity upon seeing her.

However, Ye Bufan was someone who had seen many beauties and was completely unmoved. He said again, “What exactly is it? Speak if you want to, otherwise leave.”

The woman bit her red lips, seemingly having made up her mind.

“I want to make a deal with you.”

Ye Bufan shook his head slightly, “Your life was saved by me; what do you have to trade with me?”

“That’s different.”

The woman said, “Although you bought me earlier, you only obtained my Physical Body; you couldn’t make me willingly hand over the heavenly fox pearl.” Ye Bufan waved his hand, “You can go. I’m not interested in your heavenly fox pearl!”
