90: Double-crossing! Let's go see the grand finale of the year!
The mysterious Great Saint's words, laced with a chilling intent, were like an invisible blade that precisely severed the last shred of frenzy within the auction hall.
The wild joy on Wang Teng's face cracked inch by inch.
He felt as though he hadn't spent a fortune to bid on a cornerstone leading to the Emperor's Path.
But instead, had spent five hundred billion to buy himself a custom-made, peerless coffin with his name already engraved on it.
A surge of cold air violently rushed from the soles of his feet to the crown of his head; his body trembled uncontrollably and violently, his teeth chattering with a sharp "clatter-clatter" sound.
It was over!
"Second Ancestor! Second Ancestor, save me!"
He crushed a Transmission Jade Slip like a madman, his voice filled with an unprecedented panic, shrouded by the shadow of death.
From the jade slip, an old and steady voice soon responded.
"Teng'er, do not panic! A mere Loose Cultivator Great Saint who hides his head and shows his tail cannot overturn the heavens!"
"The power my Wang Family has dormant in Tiandu is enough to ensure your safety! I, the Old Ancestor, will personally protect your path. Let's see who dares to touch my Wang Family's future Great Emperor!"
The Second Ancestor of the Wang Family's words were forceful and resonant, filled with supreme confidence.
But this confidence failed to soothe the fear growing like wild weeds in Wang Teng's heart.
Instinct told him that the mysterious Great Saint was definitely not joking!
No!
I must leave immediately!
I can't stay for even a moment longer!
...Just as everyone's gaze was focused on this "Sucker of the Year," no one noticed that on the highest Star Gazing Platform, the two figures who had attracted countless eyes had already quietly disappeared.
Deep within the Void Realm, in a layered dimension that no one could perceive.
Ye Linghan held Su Chen's hand, "watching" the panicked Wang Teng below with great interest, a cruel and delighted curve hooking the corners of her mouth.
"Husband, look, the good show is about to begin."
Her voice carried a demonic enchantment, "A grand finale of dog-eat-dog for the year; we mustn't miss it."
Su Chen remained expressionless.
Inside, his mental comments were flooding like a waterfall.
[Big sister! Please spare me! What does dog-eat-dog have to do with me? Right now, I just want to go home and sleep!]
[You kidnapped me just to watch this? Am I, the dignified Divine Son of the Su Family, just a mobile audience seat in your eyes? Or a VIP box seat?!]
[I f*cking... really thank your whole family!]
"Look at that one called Wang Teng. Doesn't he look like that pig of yours when it's scared?" Ye Linghan's fingertips traced circles on his chest over his nightgown, her tone languid. "Both look like they're about to be slaughtered. How pitiful."
Su Chen's eye twitched violently.
[Shut up! You're not allowed to insult my pig!]
[It's much cuter than that big Sucker! At least it wouldn't spend five hundred billion to buy a broken stone used to prop up table legs!]
On the second floor of the auction house, in the private room of the Yaochi Holy Land.
The moment Su Chen and Ye Linghan disappeared, Ling Qingzhu abruptly stood up.
She saw Wang Teng's panicked state and had also heard the mysterious Great Saint's threat before he left.
Her brain once again began to operate at an unprecedented speed!
This isn't right!
This isn't a simple case of dog-eat-dog at all!
This is a setup!
A shocking death trap aimed at Su Chen!
That Demoness didn't kidnap Su Chen just to watch a show!
She wants to take the opportunity during the ensuing pursuit to kill Su Chen, completely silencing him and destroying all evidence!
And the conflict between Wang Teng and that mysterious Great Saint is merely a smokescreen she's using to distract everyone!
[Su Chen, you idiot! Are you still thinking of me, using your own safety to divert everyone's attention?!]
[Don't worry! I won't let her succeed!]
An unprecedented determination exploded within her cold eyes!
Her figure flickered, turning into a cold streak of light. Ignoring the startled cries of the Yaochi Disciples behind her, she charged directly out of the private room's window!
"Saintess!"
The Disciples cried out, but they couldn't stop her at all.
She now had only one thought—
Save Su Chen!
And in an inconspicuous corner of the hall.
Liu Ruyan finished the last sip of Spiritual Wine in her cup. Feeling that skyrocketing, resolute chill, the smile on her face became increasingly enchanting and moving.
"Oh my, the main character is finally taking the field."
She stretched, her breathtaking curves making the surrounding air seem to grow thick.
A big Sucker is fleeing for his life in front.
An Overthinker is desperately chasing the "culprit" behind.
And then there's a Crazy Woman with an Unlucky Guy, hidden away somewhere unknown.
"Hehehe..."
"This play is truly getting more and more interesting."
She licked her scarlet lips, a fervent light shining in her eyes as she watched the chaos unfold, clearly enjoying the spectacle.
