Chapter 1544 Untitled



Yu Huang didn't see any envy or hypocrisy in Jing Jiaren's eyes. Knowing that Jing Jiaren was sincerely congratulating her, Yu Huang's expression became gentler and she asked Jing Jiaren in a low voice, "Miss Jing, I heard that you haven't been feeling well recently. I originally planned to visit you at your residence someday. This place isn't suitable for you to recuperate."

Seeing the genuine concern in Yu Huang's eyes, Jing Jiaren smiled aloofly and said, "I've been recuperating for half a year, so my body is fine now. I heard that there are many good things at tonight's auction. It had been a long time since I came out to take a breather, so I came over to take a look and unwind."

"By the way, this should be Prime Emperor Mo Xiao, right?" Jing Jiaren looked at Mo Xiao.

Yu Huang nodded and introduced to Jing Jiaren, "Miss Jing, this is Prime Emperor Mo Xiao, the Patriarch of the Nine-tailed Fox Clan of the Demon Beast Continent. He is also my Godfather."

Jing Jiaren placed the scepter in her left hand behind her back. Her right palm was pressed against her chest as she bowed to Mo Xiao according to the etiquette of the Divination Continent. "Greetings, Prime Emperor Mo Xiao."

"Hello, Miss Jing."

After greeting them, Yu Huang invited Jing Jiaren to go with them.

Jing Jiaren naturally didn't refuse.

Yu Huang held Mo Xiao's arm and walked on the right. Jing Jiaren stood on Yu Huang's left side and they entered the auction hall together.

The auction was held at nine o'clock sharp. When they arrived at the venue, there were only ten minutes left until the start of the auction. Yu Huang found her and Mo Xiao's seats according to the location on the invitation. Their seats were in the first row of District 1 of the VIP seating area.

This was the best viewing area in the entire auction hall and it only received the most distinguished guests. Currently, Yu Huang wasn't qualified to sit in this position. She was riding on Mo Xiao's coattails.

Coincidentally, Jing Jiaren's seat happened to be on Yu Huang's left side. Yu Huang was convinced that Jing Jiaren had asked the auction staff in advance.

Yu Huang was very curious about Jing Jiaren's motive for approaching her tonight. She wanted to activate her mind-reading skill to eavesdrop on Jing Jiaren's inner thoughts, but she felt that it wasn't a good idea, so she stopped herself.

Soon, the auction began.

Tonight's host was called Novena and he was the top host of the Green Sena Auction House. Novena had good hosting skills and was even more charming than women. His long golden hair was incomparably smooth and suffused with a charming luster.

Tonight, he was wearing a sapphire green suede suit. When the light shone on him, the audience was mesmerized by his handsome looks.

Yu Huang was surrounded by handsome men, and tonight, there was the top-notch handsome man in the cultivation world, Mo Xiao, accompanying her, so she was immune to Novena's charm. However, the other female cultivators were mesmerized. Yu Huang glanced at Jing Jiaren, who was beside her, and realized that Jing Jiaren couldn't even be bothered to look at him.

As expected of the young master of the Jing family. She wasn't bewitched by handsome men at all.

Yu Huang felt ashamed in this aspect. She was immune to other men, but Sheng Xiao was the only one who she had a natural attraction to.

Whenever she saw Sheng Xiao raising his head to drink the water and his throat bobbing when he swallowed, she wanted to lean over and press the back of his head before biting his throat. If she saw Sheng Xiao's shirt loosen, she would want to find a place where no one was around and tear off all his annoying buttons.

In short, she would always fall for Sheng Xiao on all sorts of occasions.

Yu Huang felt dejected and lonely when she thought of Sheng Xiao.

She held her head in her hand and stared at the stage in a daze as she thought to herself, "What is Brother Xiao doing? How long will it be before he comes out of seclusion?"

"Are you that smitten?" Suddenly, Mo Xiao's voice sounded beside Yu Huang's ear, making her come back to her senses.

Yu Huang immediately sat up straight.

Mo Xiao sneered and said, "It's just a man, yet you're that smitten? How embarrassing." Mo Xiao thought that Yu Huang was infatuated with the host on the stage.

Yu Huang was too embarrassed to say that she was thinking about Sheng Xiao, so she could only remain silent.

Fortunately, the auction officially began at this moment.

Yu Huang's goal wasn't the auction items that were going to appear tonight at all. Therefore, no matter how attractive the treasures presented by the Green Senna Auction's organizer were, Yu Huang couldn't be bothered to bid. When Jing Jiaren saw that Yu Huang was still calm and didn't bid once, her gaze gradually became gloomy.

What did she want?

Jing Jiaren opened the invitation letter again. They had already successfully auctioned 10 items tonight, and there were only two items left. Coincidentally, among the last two items, there was a ninth-grade Bone Nurturing Grass.

Could it be that Yu Huang's goal was this Bone Nurturing Grass?

Grade 9 Bone Nurturing Grass had long gone extinct and couldn't be cultivated manually. According to statistics, the top ten super Great Worlds currently had no more than five Grade 9 Bone Nurturing Grass.

Therefore, every time this thing was auctioned off, there would be one less.

Back then, in the Cang Lang Continent's Ascension Town, He Zhiqiu had spent decades to nurture this Bone Nurturing Grass. Half a year ago, before she set off for the Divination Continent to participate in the Divination Conference, Yu Huang had received news from He Zhiqiu, who told Yu Huang that there had been great progress in nurturing the Bone Nurturing Grass and that there was hope of nurturing the real Bone Nurturing Grass within two years.

At that time, they could open a high-level Spirit Grass Trading Center on Five Lake Street and use this Bone Nurturing Grass as a claim to fame to attract business.

Moreover, ever since Yu Huang found out that the revival technique was a forbidden technique, she had given up on the plan to revive Yin Mingjue and Su Tingxue. However, Yu Huang still planned to bid for this Bone Nurturing Grass. In any case, this was a good thing, so there would be a time when it came into handy.

At this moment, Yu Huang suddenly opened the auction book.

Jing Jiaren glanced at Yu Huang from the corner of her eye and saw that Yu Huang had flipped the auction book to the page of the Bone Nurturing Grass. She even tilted her head and whispered to Prime Emperor Mo Xiao.

Seeing this, Jing Jiaren realized Yu Huang's intentions.

It seemed that Yu Huang's goal was this Bone Nurturing Grass.

However, Jing Jiaren felt that something was wrong.

The second last item had already been bought by a rich Beast Tamer big shot. Novena glanced at the guests below the stage with his charming snake eyes and said with a mysterious smile, "The next item to be auctioned is a ninth-grade Bone Nurturing Grass that has disappeared from the world long ago. Lords, you probably already know about the use of this Bone Nurturing Grass, so I won't elaborate."

"It's speculated that there is probably less than five Bone Nurturing Grass left in this world. The Bone Nurturing Grass that everyone will see tonight is also the last one left in our auction. Bone Nurturing Grass is a top-notch soul-type herb that alchemists want the most. It's also the strongest supplement for people who have their souls damaged and need repair."

"Let's not waste any more time talking. Please bring the 12th auction item on stage!"
