blood contract

In another private room,

"Good boy... Young Master, this subordinate has finally seen what it means to be righteous and extremely heroic." Mago held his head, dumbfounded.

"Did you use words so carelessly?... There is no one who can come to this auction who is not powerful. It's really making a fuss out of a molehill." Qi Mo pointed at Mago and scolded him.

In another private room,

"..." A man in a black cloak kept tapping his fingers on the bidding screen, but never made a move.

In another private room,

"Your Highness, this person is very arrogant! He must be a monk who practices illusion." Guard Yu said.

Dongfang Huiye raised his lips and smiled, "I am actually interested in the person who buys the lantern. No, go check it out."

A masked man behind him raised his hand and disappeared immediately.

Seeing that there was no one bidding in the venue, Huang Wen banged the table and said, "Congratulations to this distinguished guest for winning the 'Heart Candle' for 12 million spiritual crystals. ... The next auction item is rumored to be An invisible item, a piece of thorn from a octopus squid tooth. The starting price is 50 million, with an additional price of 5 million."

Hearing this, the originally quiet venue suddenly erupted into bursts of exclamation.

The squid is an ancient monster, the legendary mount of the Poseidon King! Does it really still exist in the world?

Some people can't believe it.

Such rare things could be found, and everyone present had to admire the abilities of the three chambers of commerce.

The tooth thorns are light blue, and the simple tooth patterns are filled with silver-black cipher text like stars. The cipher text has an ancient atmosphere and makes people awe-inspiring.

"Sixty million."

"Eighty million."

"One hundred million."

……

The bidding was soaring, and everyone refused to give in. They were furious with each other.

The corners of Lingling's mouth twitched as she watched. The octopus tooth thorn given to the godfather, Shan Niangzi, was actually taken out for auction. For such a short period of time, for such a price...he is really a treacherous businessman!

...But then I thought about it, I bought a 'heart candle' and spent 12 million without blinking an eye, so I was quite a waste.

"That's all! Next time, let's get more good things for the beautiful lady Shan!" Lingling murmured with a smile.

The Octopus Squid Teeth Thorn was finally photographed for 260 million.

"Today's last auction item is also the final treasure of this auction. It is... a token of the beast god Yuan Wushan entering the mountain." Huang Wen took out an ancient and rustic wooden sign from a jade box.

Beast God Yuanwu Mountain is one of the five sacred mountains as famous as Xianju Mountain.

So far, no one has gone deep into it and obtained the inheritance of the beast god Yuanwu. The most important thing is that Yuanwu Mountain is in the realm of the Forest Beast Tribe. The human race and several other races have always had deep grievances. No one who enters there can come back alive.

But there is an unwritten rule. No matter who gets the token to enter the mountain, the orcs cannot attack them.

"I believe all the distinguished guests here know how much this mountain entry token is worth. The starting price is one hundred million." Huang Wen said.

hiss!

Hearing this, everyone present gasped. But the charm of inheriting the opportunity of good fortune is even more crazy. After all, money is an external thing, and opportunities are hard to find.

"One hundred and one million."

"One hundred and five million."

"One hundred and ten million"

……

The asking price soon reached 260 million.

Lingling was shocked. She was deeply poisoned by the inheritance, so she was too lazy to fight.

In the end, the Beast God Yuanwu Mountain's token to enter the mountain was bought for 320 million, and no one knew who bought it.

You can pick up the items you took tonight by yourself, or you can have the Chamber of Commerce send them to the address you wrote. Lingling asked Shopkeeper Xin to pick up the items and then hand them over to him, thus saving a lot of trouble.

"Alas! Mago, I found out that my pocket money is really pitiful. In such a huge auction, I didn't take any photos. It's unreasonable!" Qi Mo walked out of the venue languidly.

"...Hey, Mago, did you hear what I said..."

Seeing the stupid man with his mouth slightly open and his eyes dull, Qi Mo became furious and asked, "Did you hear what I said?"

After a moment, Ma Ge turned sideways and whispered in his ear: "Master, Master, my subordinates discovered that Lingling!"

Hearing this, Qi Mo's drooping body stood up straight, "Here, where are you?"

Mago pointed to a moving black carriage, "In that car."

"Then hurry up and give chase." Qi Mo pulled Ma Ge and chased him.

After chasing to a remote place, Qi Mo and Ma Ge saw the black carriage driving faster and faster. After a while, a figure rushed out of the carriage and flew towards a place.

There was a 'crack' sound, accompanied by a crisp sound of the sword coming out of its sheath, and the figure intersected and confronted a black shadow in the distance.

The weapons intersected, and the firelight splashed out, like fire trees and silver flowers in the night sky.

Seeing this, Qi Mo took Mago and quickly hid to watch the battle.

One black and one green were fighting for a while in the dark. The two did not use magic, but competed in physical skills.

It could be seen that the man in black did not want to continue the fight, and wanted to find an opportunity to escape at any time, but he was always being 'haunted' by his opponent, who seemed to have to put him to death.

"Sir, this girl has mastered physical skills. You must be more careful when competing with her." Mago said seriously in a low voice.

Qi Mo nodded and whispered: "Even if the man in black didn't use magic, his cultivation level is not low, but even so, she can still fight with that man. I believe more and more that what my aunt said is strange. What’s the point?”

Although the two suppressed their auras, they still attracted the attention of the man in black.

The man in black turned around and rushed towards the two of them. He flipped his hand and threw a dart. Mago protected the master with a stern look in his eyes. He stood up and threw an object. He knocked away the darts that were coming towards him and shot both objects towards the target. Lingling. Lingling held the knife and shook his wrist from side to side. The two objects rebounded and shot towards Ma Ge and Qi Mo. The two of them dodged to the left and right when they saw this.

In the blink of an eye, the man in black diverted the trouble and successfully escaped.

"..." Lingling stared at the figure escaping in the distance, then turned around and glared at the two people below.

Even with the gauze and bamboo hat blocking her face, the two of them could clearly feel her anger and the coldness in her eyes.

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding."

At this moment, Qi Mo didn't want to conflict with Lingling. He was more curious about her as a person.

Fighting is not as fast as making friends!

"The two of us are good citizens. When we saw someone stalking you, girl, we wanted to come over and save the beauty. But, haha, it seems that the girl doesn't need to be saved either, ha... ha..." Qi Mo rubbed each other's hands in front of him, Laughed twice awkwardly.

Mago laughed a few times and said, "Yes."

"..." Lingling landed in front of the two of them and looked at the two of them carefully, making them feel quite uncomfortable.

"Have you seen enough, girl?" Qi Mo asked.

After a moment, Lingling said slowly: "A member of the Hao Kingdom's mission?"

Hearing this, Qi Mo was calm, while Ma Ge looked surprised, as if to say: How do you know?

Qi Mo covered his face, seeing such a stupid follower would bring him bad luck for eight lifetimes.

"How did the girl guess it?"

Lingling pointed at their clothes and shoes, "The smell on your body, the way you wear the clothes, and the workmanship of the shoes... You two are not heroes saving beauties, are you following them here?"

Before Mago could look shocked, he was kicked in the butt by Qi Mo and shouted: "Go, face the wall over there."

Mago looked at the two of them sadly, then faced the wall helplessly.

"..." Lingling was at a loss for words. Are these two masters and servants just trying to make fun of themselves?

Qi Mo cupped his hands and said with a smile on his face: "It is really unfortunate to make Miss Ling laugh at such a stupid subordinate."

He admitted that he was following him.

Lingling guessed that the only one in the mission who could control his subordinates in this way was the prince of Hao Kingdom, so he was the man who was going to be engaged to Rouyin.

"His Royal Highness is not in the Fanguan, but he is here to participate in tonight's auction. What treasures can you choose to give to Princess Minxi?"

"..." Qi Mo choked, not wanting the other party to see his identity and know that he had been to the auction venue.

He smiled awkwardly, "If you don't have enough money, you won't like it. If you have enough money, you won't like it."

Lingling nodded. This person was quite straightforward and asked, "May I ask when your highness will compete in martial arts and get engaged?"

Qi Mo waved his hand and said: "The palace is pushing this matter again and again. It seems that something happened in the palace. But it's okay. I have some leisure time. I can see more and play more in the imperial city." "

Lingling's slender eyelashes twitched slightly, as if she heard the meaning behind his words and didn't want to marry Rouyin? If neither of them has this intention, then the next thing they do will be much easier.

So he asked directly, "Your Highness doesn't want to marry Princess Minxi?"

"I don't want to." Qi Mo didn't hide it and admitted directly, "I came here this time for you, Miss Ling...Hey! Why is the girl suddenly so far away from me?"

Then he reacted and said: "You misunderstood! I had no other intention. I came here just because I wanted to compete with you. Just now I suddenly didn't want to compete anymore and wanted to make friends with you. Of course, it's not that I can't beat you. I just suddenly felt boring and didn’t want to compete anymore, you know what I mean.” Qi Mo emphasized the last few sentences.

Lingling did not let down her guard and looked at him suspiciously, "You really don't want to marry Princess Minxi?"

"I really don't want to." Qi Mo put his hands on his hips and nodded domineeringly.

Lingling's eyes moved slightly, he put down his defensive hand, walked over, and said with a smile: "Then I'll make a deal with you."

"Trade? What do you mean?" Wei Mo was confused.

... ...

the other side.

The man in black knelt on the ground, with his hands on the ground, "This subordinate is not doing well, please punish me."

Dongfang Huiye slowly flicked the candlelight in the candle, smiled disapprovingly and said: "It's not a big deal, get up, Wu. Didn't you find out that the thing was bought by a woman? What is this person's cultivation level?"

"It's strange to say that this person looks like an ordinary person. She has no cultivation but can still fight against her subordinates." Wu Wei stood up and replied with his hands.

"Can you see the appearance clearly?"

"No, she always wears a scarf and a hat..."

Dongfang Kaguya said "hmm" and slowly threw him a token and said: "You will set off early tomorrow and go to Lava City to explore the bottom of it for me."

Wu took the token and saluted: "Yes."

... ...

Elsewhere, a man in black cloak came out of the auction venue and walked towards a remote and secluded courtyard in the city. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw five men in black cloak gathered inside.

Under the moonlight, only a mouth could be seen on their faces. Very strange.

When the five people saw the visitor, they asked, "How is it?"

The man in black cloak shook his head and said, "Except for the 'Lighthouse Glory' which was auctioned off at a high price, I got the rest."

When the five people heard this, they were all shocked and asked at the same time: "Who is it?"

"I don't know. I wanted to follow him, but that person seemed to be targeted by someone else. I didn't dare to expose him, so I came back."

A faceless man in black cloak said: "It doesn't matter. When I sneak into the Chamber of Commerce, I will find out who bought this thing."

Other men in black cloaks asked: "Then what is our next task now?"

"Continue to lurk."

"Yes."

After that, six black figures disappeared into the small courtyard.

... ...

During this period, a big event did happen in the palace. That was Dongfang Rouyin giving Concubine Ke the pill left by Lingling.

Concubine Jing Ke thought about it again and again, and decided that instead of dragging this sick and disabled body to survive in the world, it would be better to take a gamble.

After taking one pill, it was just as Lingling said, the huge pain of bone tearing and remodeling, muscles and tendons twitching and spasming, the pain was unbearable for Concubine Ke, and she kept moaning miserably.

In the remaining half of his life, most of his life was lost, and finally he fainted.

This frightened Nanny Qin and the servants in the palace to the point of panic and helplessness. They were afraid that if the empress died, she would be taken to be buried with her, and they kept begging for mercy and wailing.

Dongfang Rouyin resolutely locked the palace gate, blocked news from the palace, and did not allow anyone to leave the palace to seek help.

Three days later, Concubine Ke woke up. Although her body was in severe pain, she felt she had some strength.

When Nanny Qin and the servants in the palace saw this, they felt that Yu Sheng had escaped a disaster.

Seven days later, when Concubine Ke took the second pill, someone leaked the news, and Emperor Gao Zhen and the Queen came to stop her.

After seeing Concubine Ke's life worse than death, she angrily scolded Dongfang Rouyin and asked her what she was eating. Dongfang Rouyin and Aunt Qin kept silent. This made Emperor Gao Zhen furious and ordered her to eat. People were imprisoned.

When the imperial doctors in the palace were treating Concubine Ke, they were unable to do anything about Concubine Ke's condition at this time, and they all expressed their helplessness.

After a few days, Concubine Ke woke up and was in much better spirits than before.

The imperial doctor checked his pulse and was surprised to find that his condition had improved.

After Concubine Ke told Emperor Gao Zhen the cause of the matter, Emperor Gao Zhen was also shocked and released Dongfang Rouyin and Aunt Qin. After asking Dongfang Rouyin carefully, he asked for a pill for the imperial doctors to study.

The research results made the imperial doctors tremble with fear. They kept lamenting that it could kill people as well as save people. It was indeed a powerful medicine.

~~

The autumn wind sweeps away the fallen leaves, and the evening rain brings a cool breeze.

After a night of autumn rain, the air the next day is particularly fresh.

In the betrothal ceremony, the viewing area is divided into three areas. The main area in the first area is where Emperor Gaozhen and the Queen are seated. The second area on the left is where the royal prince and his ministers are seated. The third area on the right is where the Haoguo envoys are seated. In the middle For the competition area.

Princess Minxi has a soft voice from the east, her face is covered with white gauze, and she is dressed in a gorgeous royal palace dress, which is dignified and elegant; Prince Dejing of the Hao Kingdom, King Qi Mo, has his hair neatly tied on the top of his crown, and is handsome and elegant. At first glance, the handsome man and the talented woman look like a perfect match, a match made in heaven.

The two came on stage and bowed to each other. Both eyes looked at each other, both of them were stunned for a moment. They both felt like they had seen each other before, but they couldn't remember it for a while.

Dongfang Rouyin folded her slender hands on her lower abdomen, with elegant movements and dignified manners. "I have long heard that Prince Dejing has both talent and virtue, and is a handsome man. When I saw him today, it turned out to be extraordinary..."
