213: Kill her with one strike?

"Five hundred thousand, going once..."

Zhao Hua had thought that this ice crystal heart chain would ultimately be claimed by Linglong Saintess.

After all, everyone knew they couldn't outbid Linglong Saintess.

To still bid against her in such a situation, wasn't that just inflating her cost and intentionally making things difficult?

Who would dare to do that?

But who would have expected?

Just as he finished calling out the word "once", someone below the stage coldly interrupted him.

"Wait!"

"Island Master Zhao, isn't that a bit dishonest?"

Swish—!

The gaze of the entire auction house instantly shifted to the young man who had spoken.

That's right, it was none other than the Emperor Child of the Li Family, Li Changsheng!

Everyone's eyes held a mix of disdain, doubt, and curiosity.

What was he up to now?

Zhao Hua's smile froze slightly.

Although he had been played twice by the other party just now, as the Island Master, no matter how many emotions he had, he didn't dare to openly offend the Supreme Li Family behind him. So, he turned his head and replied politely, "Emperor Child, what do you mean by this?"

"How am I being dishonest?"

"Heh! How can one item be auctioned twice? Since I already bid for the ice crystal heart chain just now, why are you still putting it up for auction?"

Seeing Zhao Hua's eyes widen in extreme shock.

Li Changsheng smiled slightly, crossed his arms, and looked utterly smug: "Don't even think about denying it. I deliberately didn't speak just now to record your crime.

"I have evidence, all the footage from the period you continued the auction!"

"...Ha!"

Zhao Hua was amused.

Many people in the hall also laughed speechlessly.

"Does this Li Changsheng really think his plan is feasible?"

"I thought he was just joking just now, but I didn't expect him to actually think that? How could such a cultivation prodigy be so stupid?"

"Well, with countless people in the world, it's normal for some fools to appear."

[Breakdown Value +40]

Hearing the waves of laughter and chatter.

Looking at Zhao Hua's speechless expression.

Li Changsheng understood. They simply didn't believe he could pay such a price. His expression suddenly turned sinister: "Alright, alright, I have stated the price, but you are unwilling to believe it."

"Then that's your problem!"

"Today!"

"I must take this ice crystal heart chain! Anyone who dares to stop me is an enemy of the Supreme Emperor Family!!"

As he finished speaking, he ordered his Divine Gold Guards to snatch the heart chain from the stage.

They only hesitated for a brief moment.

The Divine Gold Guards still quickly took action, easily snatching the heart chain into their hands and presenting it to Li Changsheng.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Hua, as the auction master and Island Master, offered no resistance.

"Hahahaha!"

"How could something this Emperor Child wants not be obtained?"

"Hahahahaha..."

Like a victor, Li Changsheng raised the ice crystal heart chain in his hand and laughed uproariously towards the sky.

This scene truly shocked all the cultivators present!

His previous actions of crawling in and playing tricks on Zhao Hua could be seen as this Emperor Child being "difficult to understand", or at worst, just disrupting the auction house's order.

But now!

This was blatant robbery!

Relying on the Supreme Emperor Family behind him, relying on his identity as an Emperor Child, publicly snatching an auctioned item!

Such behavior was normal for evil cultivators or rogue cultivators with bad reputations.

But who was he!?

He was Li Changsheng, the Emperor Child of the Li Family, known as the "First Prodigy of Wan Ding God Domain"!!

The idol worshipped by countless juniors, the dream lover of countless young women, the role model for countless geniuses...

A person adorned with so many halos.

Actually committing such a heinous act in public!!?

The impression the cultivators present had of him was completely shattered!

"This is the first time I've seen the Emperor Child of the Li Family. So, he's this kind of person?"

"So the rumors were actually so false. I believe today we can definitely spread the word about Li Changsheng's true character!"

"Damn it! Could it be that we can really only watch him act recklessly?"

"..."

[Breakdown Value +120!]

Li Changsheng had obtained the heart chain, his goal achieved.

He turned to leave.

Suddenly, a sneer full of disdain came from VIP Room Number One.

"You truly open my eyes."

"Before, I thought the so-called First Prodigy, admired by everyone, was a peerless figure. Now it seems, how is he any different from a rogue bandit?"

"I originally wanted to have a friendly spar with you today."

"But now, I think it's better to knock you out without mercy. Uncle Li will understand the situation and will definitely not blame me."

[Narration: Linglong Saintess Zhao Qingyu flashed in front of Li Changsheng.]

As the narration appeared before his eyes.

Lin Sheng immediately looked around Li Changsheng, but to his surprise, other than Li Changsheng's guard group, there was nothing around him.

"Hmm? I can't see her either..."

"Could it be that she has some Heavenly Emperor creation that allows for invisibility?"

In the original work.

This Linglong Saintess was like the female lead in a female-oriented novel, very independent.

Beautiful and exquisite, uniquely intelligent, likable wherever she went...

After the nine Heavenly Mandated Protagonists arrived in Wan Ding God Domain, they only formed an alliance with this Linglong Saintess, and nothing more.

After all, this Saintess often said things like, "Why should women rely on men? A woman can live very well on her own." She didn't want to get married, but she also stated clearly that the partner she wanted must have no other women around him and must be devoted solely to her.

Therefore.

Lin Sheng was not interested in this Saintess. He would never do something as foolish as giving up the entire forest for one tree.

On the ground.

Linglong Saintess Zhao Qingyu's figure gradually appeared in front of Li Changsheng, wearing a trailing golden dress...

In short, she was very beautiful.

Her maidservant Huofeng'er, along with two younger maidservants, were now closely following behind her. The four beautiful women standing together seemed to form a tacit small group.

"Hmph! Such arrogance!"

Li Changsheng ignored the maidservants beside her, his gaze fixed directly on Zhao Qingyu's face.

In an instant.

A deep sense of astonishment appeared in his eyes.

The harsh words that were about to come out of his mouth got stuck in his throat, and Li Changsheng was clearly stunned for a moment.

Zhao Qingyu was already used to such gazes, and she smiled softly: "What? The dignified Emperor Child, could it be that you don't dare to accept my challenge?"

[This so-called Linglong Saintess challenges you ignorantly, which you find amusing.]

[You decide—]

[A: Accept her challenge.]

[B: Have your guard group beat her up, and take the opportunity to run away.]

[C: Directly unleash your ultimate move up close, activate the life-saving hidden weapon your great-grandfather gave you, attempting to kill her in one blow.]

[D: Treat her courteously, expressing willingness to resolve the matter peacefully.]

C.

Lin Sheng didn't have a very good impression of Linglong Saintess.

He even disliked her slightly.

This was only because wherever this woman went, female cultivators would be "influenced" by her, abandon their partners to live on their own, and become one of her countless little fangirls.

They worshipped her and spoke well of her.

They could even easily sacrifice their lives for her after knowing her for just half a day.
