The auction ended. When Blue Wave walked out of Netherworld Station, he appeared fully refreshed without any signs of weariness. His chest was puffed full of pride, as if he was displaying his invincibility.
Feature had accepted the half-tube of stone ogre blood he gifted her…this seemed like a simple action, but it contained many profound meanings.
With Feature’s background, she must have been taught as a child about what she could accept and what she had to decline.
Even if she sometimes had to accept a gift due to certain considerations, she would give back a corresponding gift in the shortest time possible to avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings.
When it came to this, he imagined Feature must have experienced it many times. At the very least, even if she didn’t sense anything, the people around her should have reminded her.
But now the auction had already ended, and he hadn’t received any news from Feature.
On the contrary, this didn’t mean anything bad. Rather, it was great news that showed she had truly accepted his gift.
This was a generous gift worth 100 million demon crystals!
That’s right, even to a royal woman, 100 million demon crystals wasn’t a small amount. It definitely wasn’t an amount she could casually receive. It represented an acknowledgement, a silent nod that she approved of his qualifications to pursue her!
This was the reason why Blue Wave had spent so many demon crystals. It was all for this acknowledgement.
Now, Feature should also have a good impression of him.
As long as he struck while the iron was hot, there was a high chance he could capture this noble daughter of high birth. He could use her to increase his own worth, becoming a springboard that launched him to a higher level of the abyss world.
After boarding the carriage, just as Blue Wave sat down, the guard he sent out before quickly came over to notify him.
When he heard the message his eyes flashed and he said, “After she returned she hasn’t come out nor has she put on a display as if she is going to leave…could it be that she is waiting for me to come over?”
Blue Wave was suddenly excited. His face flushed red. Throughout his life, he had played with an innumerable number of women. But he had never chased after one with such a high status. As a result, he couldn’t help but be stimulated by the chase.
At this moment, he suddenly had an impulse. He would hurry over to the inn where Feature was staying and reveal his masculine charm.
But soon, he suppressed this thought. He took a deep breath and slowly said, “No, this isn’t the time yet. Since I’ve aroused her interest, distancing myself will provoke her even further. Properly managing gains and losses is the key to deepening our relationship.”
That’s right, this was it!
He coughed lightly and said, “Continue to observe her. If you discover anything, immediately report back to me.”
“Yes, sir!” The demon guard respectfully bowed before leaving in a hurry.
…
Qin Yu was also a bit surprised. After Feature participated in the auction, she went back into seclusion. Just like in Great Deer City, it was unknown what she was doing.
Thinking about all the things she won at the auction, Qin Yu thought for a moment and furrowed his eyebrows.
Could this woman be refining demon medicine again? When he thought of all her strange performances recently, he began to feel restless.
He knocked on her door. But before he could say anything he was viciously scolded by her. She yelled that if he dared to disturb her again, he would be done for!
His hand stiffened and his complexion darkened. With such a voice full of energy, what problem could there possibly be? He was definitely overthinking things.
Mian Ya was busying herself taking care of the two weakened nine-tailed demon fox children and wasn’t in the mood to sway about in front of him and try to entice him. The courtyard immediately fell silent.
Should he go out for a stroll around Five Origin City? As soon as this thought appeared he crushed it to pieces. If he had that much spare time then he might as well rest and restore his mind. Only then would he have the strength to resist Feature’s cursed mouth and the problems she caused.
As for what those problems would be, Qin Yu didn’t know for the time being, but he was sure they would appear.
For instance, that Blue Wave who must be extremely excited and eager. When he found out that he had just been played around with in circles, would he give up so easily?
There was also that Spring Breeze 13th Madame who was clearly not friendly. After being humiliated in front of so many people, how could she continue staying in Five Origin City if she decided to let things go?
If she hadn’t done anything yet, that didn’t mean she wouldn’t do anything in the future. It was only a matter of time.
And enemies who knew how to patiently wait were the most difficult to deal with…of course, whether they were difficult to deal with or not, the truth was that Qin Yu wasn’t worried at all.
But if there were too many flies it would still be annoying, leaving one unable to rest well. So, he should take advantage of this break to rest.
Qin Yu hoped that Feature could refine all the demon medicine in one go. Then after these final two days passed, she could explain everything to him.
But facts proved that Qin Yu was only wishfully thinking. After half a day, Feature walked out of her room.
While he didn’t ask her what the result was, looking at her expression she was clearly feeling smug and self-satisfied. She walked around like a tiger, as if she was the greatest in the abyss and there was no second. It was easy to tell that the demon refining process had gone well.
Qin Yu asked her. She blinked her eyes before saying that she wouldn’t answer him. Her chest was puffed out, her back was straight, and her eyes shined with energy.
You are the boss, you are amazing!
What do you want to do? If you don’t tell me, how am I supposed to know!?
With a face full of black lines, Qin Yu said, “If you have nothing else then go away. I have to continue resting.”
It was with great difficulty that he had raised his spirits. After seeing this woman, he was almost defeated in the blink of an eye.
Feature’s eyes sharpened. She looked over him, her gaze emphatically pausing on Qin Yu’s nether regions. “What did you do while I was in seclusion? But it has only been several hours. Even if you kept tilling the fields without pause, with your strength you shouldn’t be so tired, right? Tsk tsk, or could it be that you are like a silver spear that is beautiful to look at but is actually useless in reality? If that’s true then it’s just too pitiful!”
As she finished speaking, she looked at Qin Yu with eyes full of empathy and compassion, as if she never expected he was such a person.
Qin Yu was left completely dumbfounded, his head feeling like a block of wood. Just what in the world was she talking about? Moreover, wasn’t she a woman? No matter how great of a boss she was, her sex shouldn’t have changed, right? Just what sort of nonsensical things are you spouting this time?
Tilling the fields…such odd and straightforward words actually came from your lips. Is this appropriate? And what is with that look of yours? Hurry up and look away! Do I need to prove how fierce I am to the likes of you?
But when it came to such matters, the more he tried to explain the worse things would become. Perhaps she might pester him endlessly. Who knew what sort of horrifying topics might come from her mouth.
Qin Yu coldly snorted and stood up to leave. Since he couldn’t provoke this boss, he was going to hide!
“That’s enough. I know it’s difficult for you to bring up your troubles, but there’s nothing to feel awkward about. This is an illness that many old men suffer from.” Feature’s voice resounded from behind, “When you have time, I will refine a few demon medicines for you. After taking them you will surely be as fierce as a tiger, full of vigor!”
Pata –
Qin Yu came to an abrupt stop as he looked at Old Fox. This old demon’s face was now distorted with an awkward expression. Under Qin Yu’s intense gaze, Old Fox looked down, a cold sweat dripping down his face as if his bones would break apart at any moment.
Damn it, broken bones and death? This wasn’t good at all. This scene had to be changed, it had to be changed!
However…he had inadvertently run into such an embarrassing situation. Was he going to be eliminated to avoid all potential informants? Just thinking about this left Old Fox feeling fear!
Seeing Old Fox’s uneasy expression and his sweat-covered face, even a fool could understand what he was thinking. Qin Yu’s face immediately turned blue.
“Feature!”
Qin Yu turned and roared out loud, his teeth gnashing together as he did so.
This damned woman, she had done this intentionally! It was definitely intentional!
If this matter was taken as truth by Old Fox, then every time he saw him, Old Fox would always think about these random thoughts.
Thinking of this, Qin Yu wanted to strangle Feature.
“Uh…haha…hahaha…my bad, my bad. But don’t worry Qin Yu, only the two of us know about this. There will never be a third, so rest assured…” Feature guiltily laughed a few times and then turned to leave, “I’m just telling you that since the auction has ended, there’s not much more to do in Five Origin City. We should hurry up and leave.”
Old Fox was startled. “Ah, you wish to leave? Then I will immediately tidy things up, lest I delay sir and miss’ travel plans!”
As he finished speaking he scurried away.
Qin Yu lifted a hand to cover his forehead. You two people are really enough. Going to tidy things up? What the hell do you have to tidy up!?
But leaving Five Origin City, that was true.
Old Fox ran about, quickly completing the check-out process. Then, he climbed onto the elk beast, as if saying that this was what he should have done and he had no idea what happened previously.
Black Astral was stunned by this. In order to obtain Miss Feature and His Excellency Qin Yu’s approval, had Old Fox’s diligence reached such a level?
Sure enough, if this Old Fox with his small and weak Fox Clan bloodline was able to become a steward of a Thousand Eye Temple branch division and possess his current strength, he relied on more than just his luck.
Black Astral took a deep breath, a dignified look in his eyes. He thought that he had to work even harder. He couldn’t allow himself to fall behind this Old Fox.
In the shadow of the carriage, Shadowless Demon glanced at Old Fox and the serious Black Astral. He sighed inwardly. Did the competition begin now?
It seemed that as someone who walked in the darkness and who had the lowest sense of existence, he was inherently at a disadvantage.
He had to find a way to change this situation as soon as possible. He had to let Miss Feature and Qin Yu know that only having a useful subordinate like him was good!
