How can I have a heart of a demonic god in my body?!-Chapter 425 - 0420: The Depressed Prince of Yan
"Brother Chen, I apologize, but I previously promised Miss Ye that if she fancies anything later, I will bid for it and gift it to her."
The Prince of Yan Country spoke frankly.
He believed most women would love to see a bold and straightforward expression of love from a capable man.
At the same time, his reason was very fitting.
Because he had made a promise earlier, his action now only served to show that he was a man of his word.
Perhaps many women would already be moved by the Prince of Yan Country at this moment.
"If Brother Chen truly wishes to bid on this soft armor, as long as you offer a price that convinces me, I have no complaints."
The Prince of Yan continued, appearing very generous and seemingly unconcerned.
He did not want to fall out with Chen Yu at present, after all, he still desired the Fire Scale Beast in Chen Yu’s possession.
But now was the time to showcase his financial strength, and perhaps also win the favor of a beautiful woman.
"Well said, I’m just acting on a whim; maybe Luo Feng doesn’t even like this soft armor."
Chen Yu spoke indifferently.
And indeed, he guessed right, for at this moment, Ye Luofeng did not fancy the "White Ice Jade Armor."
She knew Chen Yu very well, and understood by now that he was deliberately tempting the Prince of Yan to squander Primordial Stones.
As for whether she would accept the soft armor in the end, Chen Yu seemed not to care at all.
Thinking this, Ye Luofeng felt a wave of disappointment and her expression turned cold again, losing all interest in the White Ice Jade Armor.
But then she thought again, her current identity was that of Chen Yu’s maidservant, and it was not at all excessive for Chen Yu to use her in such ways.
As a maidservant, wasn’t it her duty to alleviate her master’s concerns?
The Prince of Yan had been watching Ye Luofeng closely and saw the look of disappointment on her face.
He was overjoyed inside, "Chen Yu relented before me, Ye Luofeng has lost hope in him, I can’t miss this opportunity."
"Eight thousand four hundred."
An elder from the Water Moon Sect called out a bid.
"Eight thousand six hundred."
Fairy Xia Yu also greatly desired the soft armor.
"Nine thousand!"
The Prince of Yan’s voice was loud, with an air of determination to win.
Besides, he had already talked with Elder Lu Tiezu in advance, so the latter did not intervene.
"Nine thousand two hundred."
Chen Yu made a token bid.
Quickly, the soft armor’s price surpassed the ten-thousand mark.
But women are willing to spend; coupled with the soft armor’s stunning look and decent performance, the enthusiasm was still high.
"Fourteen thousand."
The Prince of Yan clenched his teeth.
For the sake of winning the beauty’s affection, he went all out.
At this point, the price was getting high, with only a few still competing.
And with the Prince of Yan’s status, they hesitated even more.
"Fifteen thousand!"
Chen Yu suddenly spoke up, directly adding a thousand, causing an uproar below.
"Your Highness, this is my final offer, if you’re determined to have this item, I can only resign myself and concede."
Chen Yu spoke very politely.
At this stage, it would be too weak for the Prince of Yan to give up, especially since Chen Yu had said it was his last bid.
"Fifteen thousand five hundred!"
The Prince of Yan increased by five hundred, showing his substantial funds.
Ultimately, the White Ice Jade Armor was won by the Prince of Yan for fifteen thousand five hundred.
Soon after, the exquisite treasure was delivered.
"Miss Luo Feng, please accept this White Ice Jade Armor as a gift for our first meeting, I hope you like it."
The Prince of Yan presented his gift with a perfectly suitable reason and very politely said.
"I don’t like it."
Ye Luofeng spoke directly.
She genuinely did not like the soft armor.
"This..."
The Prince of Yan was momentarily stunned. Why would Ye Luofeng not like the soft armor?
"It seems I guessed wrong."
Chen Yu shook his head slightly.
The Prince of Yan felt awkward, recalling Ye Luofeng never expressed she liked the soft armor, hence he couldn’t say much as she rejected him now.
"Miss Ye, it’s a sincere gesture from the Prince of Yan," Chen Yu began to persuade.
The Prince of Yan looked at Chen Yu, thinking he was foolish for helping him persuade Ye Luofeng to accept the soft armor.
However, Chen Yu’s next comment darkened the Prince’s expression.
"If you don’t like it, you can give it to someone else. The Prince of Yan wants to give a gift, and if it’s not accepted, I’m afraid it will tarnish the Imperial Family’s reputation," said Chen Yu.
Beside them, Chen Ying’er’s eyes sparkled, she really liked the soft armor but its rank was too high, and the price too steep.
"Sister-in-law, if you don’t like it, you can give it to me, to me!" Chen Ying’er exclaimed with excitement and hopeful eyes.
"Sister-in-law?"
Ye Luofeng felt the title odd, but for some reason, she felt happy inside.
"Alright."
Ye Luofeng didn’t know why, but she agreed as if possessed.
"Thank you very much."
Chen Ying’er was delighted, approached the Prince of Yan, took the White Ice Jade Armor, and smiled, "I’m accepting this on behalf of Sister Luo Feng, thank you, Your Highness."
The Prince of Yan stood in a daze, perplexed.
At this moment, his feelings were complex; the conversation between Chen Yu, Chen Ying’er, and Ye Luofeng had profoundly hurt him.
"Your Highness is indeed generous, to give away such a valuable gift so easily," Chen Yu complimented.
The Prince of Yan was upset inside, cursing Chen Yu silently, but he took advantage of Chen Yu’s compliment to bring up the trade for the Fire Scale Beast again, "Brother Chen, if you trade the Fire Scale Beast with me, I promise you won’t be at a loss."
"Sixteen thousand, how about that?"
The Prince of Yan increased by one thousand from the previous offer.
Chen Yu didn’t respond but instead called out a new bid, "Five thousand three."
The auction hall was currently bidding on a rare mineral.
As it happened, this was also commissioned by Chen Yu for auction.
Once Chen Yu made a bid, Lv Tiezu on the opposite side let out a cold laugh, "Five thousand six."
With the two of them bidding non-stop, the price of this precious mineral soon exceeded its original value, so nearly everyone else gave up.
"These two sworn enemies have started competing again."
"It seems like from now on, if there’s anything these two are competing for, nobody else stands a chance."
Many could only grumble in low voices.
"It’s all for the best. When the real showstopper items come up, Lv Tiezu and Chen Yu will definitely be short on Primordial Stones, and we’ll have two fewer competitors."
A Cultivator at the Peak of Qi Transformation from Qi Country laughed.
"I didn’t expect Elder Lu, in all his Guiyuan Realm glory, to take an interest in this tungsten iron ore."
Chen Yu laughed but did not bid again.
"Indeed, this elder does not need this item. But, by bidding for it and gifting it to the prodigies of my sect, the future of Iron Sword Sect will surely count on them."
Lv Tiezu revealed a faint smile.
With these words, many disciples of the Iron Sword Sect were greatly inspired, their reverence for the Supreme Elder of their sect growing even more. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
Eventually, the mineral sold for seven thousand nine to Lv Tiezu.
"Anyway, I still have to thank Elder Lv. Otherwise, my tungsten iron ore wouldn’t have sold for such a high price."
Chen Yu said with a smile.
"Damn it, it’s that kid’s own item again."
Lv Tiezu cursed inwardly.
But fortunately, the Crown Prince of Yan Country was covering forty percent of the cost, so it wasn’t too much of a loss for him.
"Blood Sun Stone contains Blood Dao Power and Fire Dao Yang energy; it can be used both in Artifact Refining and Cultivation. Also, this Blood Sun Stone is of high quality. The starting bid is four thousand five hundred Grade Essence Stones, with each bid increment not less than two hundred Essence Stones."
The Blood Sun Stone was a rather precious and rare mineral that could be used in both Artifact Refining and Cultivation, especially beneficial to Blood Dao Practitioners.
Furthermore, the Blood Sun Stone was one of the items that Chen Yu had his eye on before the auction.
"Bid for the Blood Sun Stone for me."
Chen Yu suddenly sent a message to Ye Luofeng.
He wasn’t worried about Lv Tiezu driving up the price, resulting in a high cost. With the Primordial Stones in Chen Yu’s possession, he didn’t care about that.
Chen Yu asked Ye Luofeng to bid, naturally, to trap the Crown Prince of Yan Country’s Primordial Stones.
Since the Crown Prince of Yan and Lv Tiezu were temporarily united, trapping the Crown Prince of Yan was akin to trapping both of them.
"Alright."
Ye Luofeng understood what Chen Yu was thinking. As a servant, she had no reason to refuse.
"Four thousand seven!"
A Cultivator from the Purple Cloud Palace in the Qi Transformation Realm placed a bid.
"Five thousand."
In no time, the price soared to seven thousand.
"Seven thousand two."
Ye Luofeng suddenly spoke up.
At this, the Crown Prince of Yan’s eyes brightened.
Previously, Ye Luofeng indeed hadn’t expressed the need for the White Ice Jade Armor and refused his gift, which was entirely normal.
But now, with Ye Luofeng bidding personally, it was clear she must need this Blood Sun Stone.
"Miss Ye, let me bid for this item on your behalf."
The Crown Prince of Yan revealed a charming smile and promptly bid, "Eight thousand!"
"Nine thousand!"
From a private booth screened by red curtains, a seductively enchanting voice emerged, enthralling and captivating, sending many men into fanciful thoughts.
Her bid increase of one thousand at a time showed her determination to win.
"That sounds familiar."
Chen Yu’s ears twitched.
"Nine thousand three!"
The Crown Prince of Yan frowned slightly.
"Nine thousand six!"
The enchanting voice echoed again.
"Is it her?"
Hearing the voice again, Chen Yu recognized it.
Previously, when he was on his way from Lingjian Sect to the battlefield in Qi Country, he had encountered an interception by a Guiyuan Realm member of the Blood Moon Organization.
But in the end, Chen Yu did not kill her. Instead, he had formed a certain relationship with that seductive woman.
"Ten thousand!"
The Crown Prince of Yan raised his pitch and stepped up to the window, showing his silhouette, hoping to deter the opponent with his identity.
"Ten thousand one!"
The seductive woman continued to bid.
The Blood Moon Organization was so powerful; clearly, they were not short of Essence Stones.
"May I ask you to give me some face, ten thousand one hundred and fifty?"
The Crown Prince of Yan’s expression grew solemn.
He realized that the other party might also have a significant identity, so he attempted to communicate.
"Ten thousand two!"
As a Guiyuan Realm member of the Blood Moon Organization, the seductive woman naturally wouldn’t give face to someone from the Qi Transformation Realm.
"Ten thousand three."
The Crown Prince of Yan’s eyes reddened with determination.
At this moment, if he lost, not only would his image plummet in Ye Luofeng’s eyes, but he would also lose face in front of all these people, tarnishing the reputation of the Crown Prince of Yan.
"Forget it, sister will give someone some face and not compete with this junior anymore."
The seductive woman glanced at the Crown Prince of Yan’s private booth, her gaze lingering on Chen Yu for a moment, deciding not to place any further bids.
However, her comment made the situation even more embarrassing for the Crown Prince of Yan.
Instead of giving face to the identity of the Crown Prince of Yan, it was because of someone else that she refrained from bidding.
"Perhaps it’s my father or a powerful figure from Yan Country."
The Crown Prince of Yan comforted himself with this thought.
Soon after, a servant girl brought over the Blood Sun Stone.
"Miss Ye."
The Crown Prince of Yan tried to muster a charming smile, handing over the Blood Sun Stone.
Ye Luofeng’s expression remained cold as she accepted the Blood Sun Stone, "Thank you, Your Highness."
The Crown Prince of Yan inwardly rejoiced, overjoyed at the gesture.
However, the very next moment, Ye Luofeng’s actions left the Crown Prince of Yan stunned and slack-jawed.
Ye Luofeng, holding the Blood Sun Stone in both hands, passed it to Chen Yu.
Chen Yu, with a look of satisfaction, reached out to take the Blood Sun Stone, examining it for a few moments.
