31: How come Gu Qing has no feelings for me? I'm easy to pursue.

In a top-floor private room of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, Chu Yao looked a little annoyed and spoke impatiently.

"Master Xiao, the most I'll offer for your pills is 100 million high-grade spirit stones. If you don't think that's suitable, you can try other merchant associations."

Telling a customer to go to another merchant association, the implication of chasing someone away couldn't be more obvious.

Chu Yao couldn't help it; who told this black-robed person in front of her to be such a shrewd negotiator, haggling over every single detail?

He even wanted her to make a loss on the deal.

Chu Yao's ability to resist swearing already showed her excellent temperament.

At this moment, she missed Gu Qing a little.

Although Gu Qing was also cunning, he was genuinely forthright.

As long as he had a profit to make, he wouldn't care how much she earned from it, understanding the principle of win-win cooperation.

Unlike this young man in front of her, who wanted her to make a loss, making it seem like she was running a charity.

"Didn't we just agree on 150 million? Why is it decreasing instead of increasing? Is Fairy Chu trying to play a trick on this old man?"

The young man, shrouded entirely in a black robe, spoke in an aged voice, yet his youthful hands were exposed.

He first froze, then said angrily.

"My apologies, I miscalculated just now," Chu Yao said expressionlessly.

Earlier, she had intended to make a loss to befriend this young alchemist.

She thought that if she lost money this time, she could earn it back next time.

But now, she no longer wanted to befriend him.

Cooperation is based on both parties having something to gain.

Even if she befriended such a greedy alchemist, she would still be the one losing money in the future.

So why bother befriending him?

"Miscalculated? Heh, it seems your Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion doesn't welcome this old man. So be it."

The black-robed young man sneered, feigned anger, and rose to leave.

Walking to the door, with no sign of Chu Yao asking him to stay, his heart sank, and he felt somewhat caught between a rock and a hard place.

To be honest, he knew Chu Yao had already offered the highest price.

But who would dislike making more money?

If he left now and went somewhere else, he definitely wouldn't be able to sell it for 150 million.

"Master, is there anything else?"

Chu Yao's alluring fox-like eyes narrowed slightly, the corners of her eyes upturned, revealing a hint of mockery.

Her expression was enchanting and seductive.

She looked exactly like a peerless enchantress who played with people's hearts.

"..."

Damn it~

The black-robed young man cursed inwardly.

If he didn't leave now, he would truly be offering his face for Chu Yao to slap.

But he really couldn't leave.

The Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion's Centennial Auction (Hundred-Year Auction) was about to begin.

There would definitely be treasures he needed inside.

He had originally planned to sell the spiritual pills and then request an invitation to the auction, hoping to find opportunities there.

"Master, I have other matters to attend to, so I'll excuse myself first."

Chu Yao received a message from Gu Qing, and her heart filled with joy. She no longer had the mind to tease the black-robed person, so she said a sentence and then got up to leave.

She also sent a message to her subordinate to entertain the black-robed person well... On the other side, Gu Qing and Su Qingyue rode on auspicious clouds, transcendent and refined, as if immortals from the heavens had descended to the mortal world.

Upon arriving at the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion auction, they saw the graceful and charming Chu Yao standing at the entrance.

"Fairy Chu, long time no see," Gu Qing said with a smile.

Qing Continent was countless billions of miles away from the Great Qian Empire, but he wasn't surprised to see Chu Yao here.

After all, she was the daughter of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion's chairman, a true female lead.

Wherever there was a protagonist, there she would be.

"Indeed, it has been a while. Young Master Gu's demeanor is even more impressive than before."

Chu Yao smiled like an alluring fox, her gaze shifting towards Su Qingyue as she asked, "May I ask this fairy's esteemed name?"

"This is my junior sister, Su Qingyue."

"Su Qingyue? Could it be the Su Qingyue who became a disciple of Goddess Zhi Meng? Are you also a disciple of Goddess Zhi Meng?"

Chu Yao exclaimed in surprise.

"That's right."

Gu Qing nodded slightly.

As expected... Chu Yao understood.

She had suspected that the people from the Star God Temple descended upon the Great Qian Empire because of Gu Qing.

Although she didn't know Su Qingyue personally, Su Qingyue's name was as famous as thunder.

Su Qingyue was already the number one beauty in Qing Continent, possessing the Lunar Divine Body.

Coupled with the Wangyue Holy Land's promotion over the past three days, almost all cultivators in Qing Continent knew that she had become a disciple of a Saint Realm mighty expert.

Furthermore, she had also learned that Su Qingyue had become the Saintess of the Star God Temple.

As Gu Qing was her senior brother, his aptitude should be even better than Su Qingyue's, right?

After all, both went to the Star God Temple, but Zhi Meng accepted Gu Qing first.

Perhaps Gu Qing was a legendary Supreme Divine Body.

Numerous thoughts flashed through her mind, and Chu Yao became even more enthusiastic towards the two.

She invited them into the best Heaven-grade private room and had rare spiritual fruits and pastries served.

Chu Yao personally poured them a cup of cool tea and smiled, "Young Master Gu, it's been three years. I've missed you terribly."

"..."

There was nothing wrong with what she said.

But coming from this enchantress's mouth, why did it feel so strange?

Gu Qing picked up the teacup and took a sip. A refreshing sensation surged into his mind, immediately making him feel clear-headed and invigorated.

This tea was excellent; it could even allow a Xuan Dan Realm cultivator to comprehend the Dao.

If Gu Qing's foundation wasn't so profound, one cup would have been enough to break through to the next realm.

"Fairy Chu..."

"Just call me Chu Yao, or Yaoyao, Yao'er is fine too. Calling me Fairy is too distant."

Chu Yao acted familiar, sitting next to Gu Qing.

A delicate fragrance wafted towards him, making Gu Qing's blood stir restlessly.

He glanced at her out of the corner of his eye, seeing snow-white peaks, round and full.

He quickly recited the Pure Heart Incantation three times before speaking.

"Chu Yao, how about we make a deal?"

"What kind of deal?" Chu Yao immediately became interested, and whether intentionally or not, she leaned forward, her face wreathed in smiles, utterly captivating.

"Vixen..." Su Qingyue, watching from the side, was furious and cursed under her breath.

Already aloof, she became even colder now, as if her entire being exuded waves of chill.

Seeing this, Chu Yao not only felt no guilt but became even more energetic.

She disliked women of the cold and aloof type the most.

Who were they putting on airs for all day?

"I want to buy a batch of demonic beasts, as many as you have."

"But I might not have that many spirit stones..."

Since Gu Qing had already joined the Star God Temple, he naturally had to make good use of his advantages to become stronger.

He had no interest in being like a protagonist, relying on himself for everything, miserably fighting monsters to level up.

He might as well spend that time cultivating in seclusion.

"A small matter."

Chu Yao twirled a strand of hair with her jade finger, smiled alluringly, and explained, "Actually, our merchant association has always had preferential treatment for prodigies, such as 20% discounts, credit, helping you collect resource information, and so on..."

Although she wasn't sure what Gu Qing wanted so many demonic beasts for, she could guess a thing or two; it was probably for body tempering.

"Then it's settled."

"By the way, I also have some treasures here. See if they can be auctioned."

Gu Qing took out Lin Yang's broken magical artifacts.

The most valuable were three Heaven-grade magical artifacts and one King-grade magical artifact.

All were broken and incomplete magical artifacts, either broken or missing a corner.

They could be used, but their power was limited, so Gu Qing naturally didn't care for them.

As for the solar divine furnace, Gu Qing had no intention of selling a divine artifact.

"..."

You open your mouth and it's about making a deal. Doesn't Gu Qing have any other thoughts?

What a cold and boring man... Chu Yao complained.

Every time he made money from her, he wanted to leave, making her grit her teeth in frustration.

She just couldn't understand. Were spirit stones even one ten-thousandth as appealing as she was?

Couldn't he be a little bolder and pursue her?

She was very easy to pursue.

While thinking this, on the surface, Chu Yao smiled and agreed, carefully examining them.

After a while, she nodded and said, "Young Master Gu's items are estimated to be worth forty to fifty billion high-grade spirit stones. The exact amount will only be known after the final auction price is revealed."

"Then I'll trouble you."

Although this little enchantress was not serious, she was truly reliable in her work.

"No problem, no problem!"

"It's getting late, and I need to host the auction, so I'll excuse myself for a moment."

With that, Chu Yao swayed her graceful, snake-like waist as she left, every movement exuding a myriad of charms, a veritable enchantress reborn.

After Chu Yao left, Su Qingyue called out "Senior Brother" with a hint of grievance.

However, she didn't say anything about disliking Chu Yao.

Although she disliked Chu Yao, she wouldn't interfere with Gu Qing's affairs.

On the other side, Chu Yao left the private room, looking dejected.

"Miss, what's wrong?"

The old woman asked in surprise.

This was the first time she had seen something that could make her young mistress, this little enchantress, dejected.

"Do you think I'm not beautiful enough?" Chu Yao asked.

"How could that be?"

"Miss, you are a peerless beauty, your smile captivates thousands, a stunning enchantress who charms countless prodigies."

"And Miss, you possess a superior divine body, combining beauty, talent, and wealth. Any goddess or saintess would pale in comparison to you."

"Miss, why would you have such a mistaken idea?"

The old woman's flattery went straight to Chu Yao's heart, and she immediately felt better.

She wondered, "But why is that scoundrel Gu Qing not interested in me?"

"..."

The old woman was somewhat silent.

So her little enchantress was immersed in her own 'man magnet' aura.

"I'm very easy to pursue. I've been so proactive, so why is Gu Qing like a block of wood?" she added.

"..."

Miss, do you even hear what you're saying?

"Very easy to pursue"?

If those prodigies who pursue you heard that, they'd probably spit out three liters of blood.

"By the way, how far have you copied the ancestral teachings?"

Seeing the old woman's delayed response, Chu Yao asked with a smile.

"Ah, this..." She was caught off guard.

The old woman was filled with remorse.

How could she get distracted in front of her young mistress?

"I've already copied about two million characters... I think!" she said weakly.

"Hmm, keep copying diligently. Make sure to remember the ancestral teachings firmly."

With that, she swayed her slender waist, leaving with a myriad of charms.

The old woman nodded, feeling immensely relieved.

If she had been unwilling to copy before, now she was copying wholeheartedly.

It was also fortunate that her young mistress remembered the ancestral teachings and didn't let her make a big mistake in the Great Qian Empire; otherwise, ten thousand years of arduous cultivation would have been lost in an instant.

The wise and sagacious ancestors, the ancestral teachings they left behind were indeed famous sayings and admonitions, not a single word was superfluous.
