64: Chapter 64 Divine Descent Pavilion

"Let's go inside and take a look," Cao Yang suggested.

He was also somewhat curious about this mysterious Shenlin Pavilion auction house.

"Alright," Xiao Lingxue nodded.

She tightly held Cao Yang's hand and walked into the Shenlin Pavilion auction house with him.

Hand in hand, the two stepped through the main gates of the Shenlin Pavilion auction house. They immediately felt a dense Immortal Qi permeating the air, making them feel refreshed and relaxed.

Just as they entered the Shenlin Pavilion auction house, a beautiful maid came forward to greet them. This maid wore a long white dress, had a graceful figure and a lovely face; surprisingly, she had a cultivation base at the Human Immortal Realm.

"Welcome, distinguished guests, to Shenlin Pavilion auction house!" The maid smiled and bowed to them, her tone respectful and warm.

"May I ask if the two of you are here to purchase Immortal Pills or Immortal Artifacts? Or perhaps to attend the auction? If it's for the auction, today's session is just about to begin, and you can join directly."

Cao Yang looked at the beautiful maid before him and smiled slightly. "This is our first time here, and we aren't very familiar with the situation. Can you give us a detailed introduction to your Shenlin Pavilion?"

The maid smiled and nodded, beginning her introduction to the two: "Of course, distinguished guests. Our Shenlin Pavilion is one of the most famous merchant houses in the Yuansheng Immortal Domain, primarily operating auction houses. Our headquarters is located in the Yuansheng Holy City, and we have branches in every famous major city across the Yuansheng Immortal Domain, whether within an Imperial Dynasty or a Sect. Therefore, our auctions gather all sorts of treasures and will definitely not disappoint our guests."

Cao Yang and Xiao Lingxue exchanged a glance, a hint of pleasant surprise flashing in their eyes. They hadn't expected this Shenlin Pavilion to be so powerful; it seemed there would definitely be many precious items appearing in this auction, so it was worth attending.

"Is there also a Shenlin Pavilion established in the Lower Realm?" Xiao Lingxue also asked. Her voice was clear and melodious, like a fresh spring flowing through the mountains, making those who heard it feel refreshed.

"Indeed, Fairy. Our Shenlin Pavilion is established in various Lower Realms as well, though it's not called Shenlin Pavilion but Xianlin Pavilion instead," the maid explained with a smile, while feeling curious in her heart—could these two have ascended from a Lower Realm?

Originally, there was some disdain for those who ascended from the Lower Realm, as half of them usually had no money.

However, in the past few days, word had spread that someone from the Lower Realm had reached the Immortal King Realm in the Immortal Desert, so no one dared to look down on ascenders anymore.

After all, being able to ascend from the Lower Realm was already difficult enough, and to then Breakthrough to the Immortal King Realm made one a rarity among rarities.

Cao Yang and his companion followed the maid into the auction room. Because Cao Yang had demonstrated some financial strength, they were arranged into a private booth on the third floor.

The booth was stocked with Advanced Immortal tea and pastries, and even came with a personal maid who could be taken away. The maid had a Mahayana Peak cultivation base, and it was clear she was new.

Cao Yang could only sigh; it truly lived up to the booth fee of one hundred Low Grade Immortal Crystals!

Cao Yang held Xiao Lingxue and said tenderly, "Xue'er, in a moment, if there's any treasure you like, just buy it. Your Junior Brother isn't short on Immortal Crystals."

Xiao Lingxue felt a warmth in her heart and replied, "Thank you, Junior Brother."

"Why are you still being so polite with me?" Cao Yang pinched a certain spot on her body as he spoke.

"Ah, Junior Brother, you're so wicked!"

Xiao Lingxue let out a soft cry.

The tall, curvaceously dressed maid standing nearby saw how considerate Cao Yang was toward his Dao Companion, and a flash of joy appeared in her eyes.

She hurriedly stepped forward, poured a cup of Immortal tea for both Cao Yang and Xiao Lingxue, and then quietly retreated to stand to the side.

Seeing this, Cao Yang said softly, "You can leave now, your services are no longer needed here." As he spoke, he casually tossed a Medium Grade Immortal Crystal to the maid.

The maid did not immediately pick up the Immortal Crystal from the table. Instead, she steeled her heart and prostrated herself before Cao Yang and Xiao Lingxue.

She said with a sob in her voice, "I beg the Young Master and Young Miss to show mercy and take me with you! As long as you are willing to take me away, I will serve you both with all my heart and soul, without any complaints."

"If you are unwilling to take me, I will only be sold to a brothel or sold cheaply to an evil cultivator, where I will surely be drained to death through dual cultivation. I beg the Young Master and Young Miss to show great mercy and take me away."

She knew well that offending a distinguished guest could bring death, but she would rather take that risk than be sold to a brothel to suffer inhuman torture.

Cao Yang frowned and said, "I haven't even touched you, why would you be sold to a brothel?"

"The Young Master might not know, but Immortals consider themselves noble. For someone like me who has entered and left a booth while dressed revealingly, no matter what, no one will ever accept my service again," the maid explained hurriedly.

Seeing this, Xiao Lingxue felt pity and said to Cao Yang, "Junior Brother, why don't we take her in as my maid?"

Although Xiao Lingxue was cold by nature, it didn't mean her heart was indifferent. Furthermore, she hadn't experienced the sinister nature of the cultivation world, and her Heart-Nature was pure.

Cao Yang sighed; Xue'er was still too kind!

Cao Yang thought for a moment and then nodded in agreement. "Fine, then you shall follow Xue'er from now on and serve her well. However, you must remember, we have no use for those who are disloyal or unrighteous." Hearing this, the maid kowtowed repeatedly in gratitude, swearing she would be absolutely loyal.

"Alright, your services aren't needed for now. Go wait outside, and we'll take you when we leave," Cao Yang ordered.

"Yes, Young Master, this servant will go out now."

After seeing the maid leave, Cao Yang looked at the beauty in his arms and said, "Xue'er, the fire you lit in me back in your room hasn't gone out yet. How about we try it here?"

Xiao Lingxue was stunned by Cao Yang's words.

But she quickly snapped out of it, shaking her head repeatedly and saying, "No, no, absolutely not."

"Junior Brother, don't be reckless. This is an auction house; it's too embarrassing."

Cao Yang gave a wicked smile and said, "Senior Sister, I've heard that when a woman says 'no,' she means 'yes.'"

"Ah, Junior Brother, don't be reckless!"

It seemed Xiao Lingxue spoke too late; an Immortal King's speed was indeed fast enough!

Meanwhile, the auction began. The items being auctioned at the start were all Immortal Pills, Immortal Artifacts, and Immortal Materials for those below the Heavenly Immortal Realm; there were no particularly special treasures.

Inside the booth, Xiao Lingxue let out a soft cry and said, "Junior Brother, slow down."

Looking at Xiao Lingxue's lovely cherry-like lips, Cao Yang couldn't help but lean in and kiss her, blocking her whimpers.

Soon, Xiao Lingxue went limp in Cao Yang's arms and whispered, "Junior Brother, I really can't take any more. How about I let the maid outside help you blow off some steam?"

Cao Yang said unhappily, "Senior Sister, today is our exclusive romance. How can we involve anyone else?"

"Come, Senior Sister, be good. After taking this Recovery Immortal Pill, you'll be back to full vitality immediately." Cao Yang exchanged an Advanced Immortal Pill from the System space and gave it to Xiao Lingxue to swallow.

Xiao Lingxue gave Cao Yang a resentful look and swallowed the pill he handed her.

The auction continued...
