Chapter 165: Encounter with White Feather Again!

  The conditions proposed by the madam did not affect the enthusiasm of these people at all. The crazy bidding voices rose and fell, from the initial gold and silver to the direct confrontation of Lingjing, with prices soaring higher and higher, leaving one speechless.

  A woman, just for one night, and yet she can drive so many people crazy with her charm, this Ming Yu girl really has some tricks up her sleeve.

  "Xiao brothers, aren't you going to name a price?" Ji Liufeng savored a sip of wine, with a hint of teasing directed at Xiao Yun.

  Xiao Yun wiped the sweat, "I don't have that many Ling crystals, besides, I don't want to get involved. However, Brother Ji, if you're willing to compete, I'm afraid no one here can surpass you, why not give it a try?"

  Xiang Liu's face twitched, not expecting Xiao Yun to turn the tables on him. "A beauty is meant to be appreciated from afar, not toyed with; otherwise, it would be a loss of elegance."

  "Well said." Xiao Yun also smiled with a curled lip, but it was unknown whether Jie Liu Feng's words were sincere or not.

  Zhou Mingxuan, who was sitting next to Xiao Yun, was quite moved. Seeing everyone bidding excitedly, he also wanted to join in, but thinking that Ji Liufeng was by his side, he didn't want to leave a bad impression, so he forcibly suppressed the urge.

  Ming Yu sat on the red silk in mid-air, listening to the calls from below, her face wore a smile, but her beautiful eyes deep down were filled with disdain. These people were not what she wanted, she was after a big fish.

  Her gaze swept across the room, falling on a private room on the second floor. Only the people in this private room had not made any offers, and she knew the identity of the owner of this private room. Having been undercover in Longcheng for many years, Chunfeng Pavilion's responsibility was to collect intelligence for the demon clan from the Xia Kingdom. Although she had only been in Longcheng for a few short years, she also knew that the owner of that private room was none other than the current Crown Prince of the Xia Kingdom, Liu Feng.

  The arrival of the Zhenliu wind was somewhat unexpected for her, but if she could establish a relationship with the Crown Prince of Xia, it would be a big business opportunity. The Crown Prince is the future Emperor of Xia, and catching this big fish would make things safer and more secure in Xia. If she could take advantage of this opportunity to gain the Crown Prince's favor and become his concubine, that would be even better.

  It seems that these few people are not being charmed by their own charm? Zhe Liufeng and others have never shown any intention of bidding, but Ming Yu's heart is getting a bit impatient, her right foot lightly hooks the red rope. She flew directly towards the private room where Xiao Yun and others were located.

  "Hey, where did Mingyu go?"

  Seeing Ming Yu Fei leave, the people below immediately fell into chaos.

  "Everyone, please remain calm and continue bidding. Miss Mingyu will be here to meet with everyone soon!" The old madam, accompanied by several turtle servants, hurriedly maintained order as someone had already bid up to fifty top-grade spirit crystals. The old madam was practically laughing her face off.

  ——

  A gentle breeze blew in, and a woman in white appeared in the room. Seeing this woman at such close range, everyone felt somewhat dazed.

  "A few princes, may I have a bright jade from you?" She lightly opened her red lips, softly spoke to the several people and bowed, her body weak and boneless, her voice even sweeter.

  Several people were stunned, among the four, only Zhou Mingxuan was the most unbearable. Just looking at the woman for a moment, his whole body went limp and powerless.

  "Monster, indeed a monster!" Xiao Yun secretly sighed and hurriedly activated the 'Clear Mind and Universal Goodness Mantra' to counteract the natural charm of the woman.

  Xī Xiǎoyuè, being a woman, was not severely affected by the enchanting power and soon came to her senses after a brief daze. On the other hand, Xī Liúfēng hastily grabbed a cup of strong liquor and gulped it down, the fiery liquid slowly bringing him back to consciousness.

  "Please, have a seat if you don't mind!" Xiao Yun said. This woman had obviously cast some kind of enchanting spell on them, and all three were circulating their internal energy to resist it, but only he was still relatively clear-headed.

  "Thank you, young master!"

  Ming Yu looked at Xiao Yun with some unexpected surprise, her charm had always been effective, but today she had lost to Xiao Yun repeatedly. If Xiao Yun was an old monster of the Music Ancestor realm, it would be understandable, but he was just a small music cultivator who hadn't even reached the Music Master realm. This made her take another look at Xiao Yun.

  Ming Yu's gaze swept over Ji Xiangyue's body, a hint of a smile playing on her lips. With her keen eyesight, she could clearly see that Ji Xiangyue was a woman dressed as a man, and her identity was self-evident.

  Finally, his gaze fell on Ji Liufeng's body, "Why doesn't the young master care about Mingyu? Is it because he thinks Mingyu is ugly?"

  Ji Liu Feng was currently operating his internal energy to dispel the effects of Ming Yu's Meigong on himself, lowering his head and not daring to make eye contact with Ming Yu. The woman's abilities had clearly exceeded his expectations, unknowingly putting him in a precarious situation. At this moment, when Ming Yu spoke to him, it was even more like she was taking his life.

  It's okay, I have the protective charm on me, which can isolate some of Mingyu's seductive aura. Ji Liufeng bit his tongue and used the pain to sober himself up a bit, then looked up at Mingyu with a smile and said, "Under your stunning beauty, I am momentarily speechless, please forgive my sudden rudeness."

  With a bright and charming smile, Ming Yu asked, "May I ask how I should address you, sir?"

  "Cough!" Xiao Liu Feng lightly coughed once, raised his head to glance at Xiao Yun, and after a quick turn of his eyes, he said to Ming Yu, "I am Xiao Yun."

  "Pffft!"

  Xiao Yun heard this and almost spat out a mouthful of wine, looking up at Ji Liufeng with a speechless expression.

  He stole Xiao Yun's name, and Jie Liufeng didn't even blush. At this time, he certainly couldn't reveal his true identity, and the purpose of his visit today was to investigate Ming Yu's background. Now that Ming Yu had come to him voluntarily, he was both cautious and pleased at the same time.

  Ming Yu had long known that Xi Liu Feng was not what he seemed, and of course knew that Xi Liu Feng was fooling her. Seeing Xiao Yun's good-looking face, she turned to ask him, "I wonder how this young master should be addressed?"

  "Me?" Xiao Yun was taken aback, his name had been stolen by Ji Liufeng, could he still be called Xiao Yun? He turned to look at Zhou Mingxuan, and with a sudden smile, he bowed his hands to Mingyu, "I am Zhou Mingxuan, nice to meet Miss Mingyu."

  "Pffft!"

  Zhou Mingxuan listened to Xiao Yun's introduction and suddenly spat out a mouthful of wine, fortunately he was sitting at the end of the table and didn't spit it on anyone else.

  Two pairs of eyes fell on Xiao Yun's body. Zhou Mingxuan's face twitched, really didn't know what to say was good.

  Ming Yu looked at Zhou Mingxuan with a strange expression. Zhou Mingxuan hastily wiped his mouth and gave a dry laugh towards Ming Yu. "I'm just a follower, call me whatever you want."

  Ming Yu covered her mouth and smiled, but in her heart she was muttering to herself. This group of people didn't have a single honest one among them, and their backgrounds were not small either. Among the four of them, only Xiao Yun did not know his identity.

  At this time, Ji Xiangyue coughed lightly and said to Mingyu, "I think Miss Mingyu should also be a refined lady, how did you end up in such a place?"

  Ming Yu paused for a moment, then said, "I've been alone and destitute since I was young, with no one to rely on. I ended up drifting to this place of smoke and flowers. Fortunately, I met a master at an early age who taught me the art of music, which has allowed me to protect myself and avoid becoming a plaything."

  It's all nonsense, and except for Zhou Mingxuan's sympathetic face, none of the three people present believed it.

  "Why are you holding this lowly song gathering again today? Isn't being a clear and pure person good enough?" asked Xiao Yun.

  "Ming Yu said, 'Beauty is fleeting. Youth is short-lived, and I too want to find a shoulder to lean on in this vast and complicated world. It's really hard being a weak and small woman.'"

  With a tinge of sadness, this performance. It's completely worthy of an Oscar, Ming Yu said. She raised her head to look at Ji Liu Feng, smiled sweetly, and picked up a cup of wine, "Ming Yu just saw that the gentlemen didn't say anything, thinking that perhaps they looked down on me, so I came over hastily, with a cup of plain wine, as a small apology."

  These words were directed at Jì Liúfēng, who felt a sudden jolt in his heart. The meaning behind Míngyù's visit seemed clear: she had come for him. Could it be that she knew his true identity?

  If she were just a young woman from a brothel, how would she know herself? Ji Liu Feng's heart became even more determined, this Chunfeng Pavilion has big problems.

  With a cup of wine finished, a faint flush rose to the face of Ming Yu, and she said to the crowd, "There is wine but no music, it's too monotonous without music. Why don't I, a young woman, sing for several gentlemen to help the excitement?"

  "Huh?"

  Ji Liu's face changed, this woman was so enchanting, just now one song almost made him sink, let her sing another song, afraid that more than half would be enchanted by her.

  "The young lady has other guests, I think it's not necessary!" Ji Liu Feng hastily waved his hand.

  Ming Yu refused to give up, she had absolute confidence that if she could play another tune with all her might, this summer country prince would be at her mercy. "Could it be that Sir Xiao finds the sound of a young woman's song unbearable?"

  "How dare I?" Ji Liufeng smiled awkwardly, looked up at Xiao Yun and suddenly had an idea. He pointed directly at Xiao Yun and said, "This Mr. Zhou is a master of music, why not invite him to play a piece? On the one hand, it will add to the excitement, on the other hand, it will also save the young lady from exerting herself!"

  Zhou Mingxuan thought it was about him, but when he looked up, he found that it was actually about Xiao Yun, and only then did he put his mind at ease. Although he had the realm of a musician, he still didn't dare to show off in this kind of situation.

  "Huh?"

  Ming Yu heard this and unexpectedly looked at Xiao Yun, but a small Le Gong realm's little Le Xiu, how can he be worthy of the current crown prince's praise? He also said that everyone, this title, is probably not even dared to be claimed by ordinary Le Zong masters.

  At this moment, Xiao Yun only felt that there were countless sheep and camels rushing through his heart. This Jie Liufeng was really not being a good friend, always pushing the messy situation onto himself.

  ——

  On the third floor, a door opened and Bai Yu stepped out of the room, standing at the edge of the corridor, looking down at the grand hall below.

  The singing and dancing had ended, but the bidding was still going on, extremely fierce. Bai Yu crossed his arms over his chest, watching with interest the group of crazy men below, a hint of amusement rising at the corner of his mouth.

  "Who would have thought that a Fox Clan Holy Maiden could actually attract so many people to go crazy like this? It seems that in the near future, Jade Sister will definitely become the second XiXi of Xia Guo!"

  "Huh, where's Sister Yu?"

  However, the figure of Ming Yu was nowhere to be seen. His gaze swept around in a circle and landed on a private room on the second floor. Bai Yu's eyebrows immediately furrowed, and the smile on his face froze.

  "This guy looks so familiar, isn't he that little kid from the Tianyin Sect I caught the other day?"

  Bai Yu's face suddenly turned gloomy, and with his extraordinary eyesight, he could clearly see that the person sitting opposite Ming Yu at this moment was none other than Xiao Yun, who had been kidnapped by him back then.

  "How did this kid end up running back to Long City?"

  No need to say more, since Xiao Yun has appeared safely here, it means that the four-stage demon eagle under his command is no longer a threat. This kid has the powerful ancient secret 'Ao Lai Hou' in his hands, and it's truly a case of gaining something without putting in any effort. I didn't expect to run into him again here.

  A glint of ferocity and killing intent flashed in Bai Yu's eyes. Since he had encountered him, this time he absolutely could not let him off.

  ——

  "Zhou Gongzi, why aren't you speaking? Don't tell me you're looking down on a little girl like me?" Mingyu said with a coquettish expression, facing Xiangyun.

  Xiao Yun was about to respond when he suddenly felt a jolt in his heart, and a bad feeling rose up, as if there were thorns on his back, making him feel very uncomfortable. He abruptly turned his head to look over, and saw a white figure standing on the third floor across from him.

  It was almost instantaneous. Xiao Yun's face completely changed, his heart was completely replaced by infinite anger, and his eyes burst out with endless hatred. With a snap, the chopsticks in his hand were pinched off.

  "Xiao brother, what's wrong?" Seeing Xiao Yun suddenly change color, Ji Liu Feng asked in puzzlement, unintentionally revealing Xiao Yun's real name.

  "Hmmph!"

  Xiao Yun let out a cold snort and directly stood up to rush out. The Jiuxiao Qin appeared in his hand, his right foot tapped on the railing, and he violently leaped towards the third floor where Bai Yu was located.

  "Clang! Clang! Clang!"

  Still in mid-air, Xiao Yun's single hand flowed like water, swiftly plucking out ten notes on the zither strings, a faint seven-colored dragon. From the ninth heaven, it emerged, directly roaring and screeching as it rushed towards the white feather.

  Xiao Yun's sudden attack was also within Bai Yu's expectations, as he was a powerful figure in the later stages of his demonic cultivation. How could he possibly put Xiao Yun in his eyes? Without dodging or evading, he lightly swept his right hand, and countless white feathers formed a wall to block in front of him.

  "Ahh!"

  "Boom!"

  Bai Yu was clearly too careless, now Xiao Yun, although only in the late stage of Leigong's realm, but after being condensed by the holy power, his current combat strength is absolutely not inferior to that of a strong player in the early stages of music master. Bai Yu was momentarily careless, and when he reacted, it was already too late.

  The Sleeping Dragon's roar was fueled by the extraordinary aura of Xiao Yun, and also had the support of Ding Xiang in the ninth heaven. This move should not be underestimated. The long dragon let out a loud roar and directly pounced on it. The wall in front of Bai Yu was torn to pieces, and Bai Yu was also blown away by the powerful impact, smashing the door behind him and falling into the house.

  "Wow!"

  Dust rises, and there is a sudden commotion.

  Unexpectedly, someone made trouble in Chunfeng Pavilion. There were many young and talented people present, how could they sit still? Immediately, several people stood up and loudly shouted at Xiao Yun on the third floor.

  "Cough cough! Youngster, it's been several months since we last met, and your skills have improved significantly!"

  A white figure slowly walked out of the ruined house, White Feather coughed lightly, with a hint of blood at the corner of his mouth. He had truly underestimated the power of Xiao Yun's move, and hadn't expected it to be so great that he didn't even use his full strength to resist, and the consequence of underestimating Xiao Yun was that he suffered some minor injuries.

  A powerful figure in the later stages of the Dao of Demons, was actually injured by a young kid at the Qi Refining stage. This is simply a great shame and humiliation. White Feather's eyes were filled with shock and his gaze became even more sinister.

  "You wicked creature, how dare you appear here? Return my sister's life to me!" Xiao Yun was furious and didn't give Bai Yu any chance to react. Jiuxiaoqin stepped forward, and another long dragon burst out of the air, charging towards Bai Yu with a resolute momentum.

  At this moment, Xiao Yun's heart was filled with infinite anger, and he completely disregarded how powerful Bai Yu was. Now that his arch-nemesis had appeared before him, could he not engage in a fierce battle?

  Just now, Bai Yu was just careless, but after experiencing the first setback, Bai Yu no longer dared to underestimate Xiao Yun. He directly threw a punch, and a loud eagle cry echoed in the air. A large eagle's shadow burst out from his fist, rushing straight towards the long dragon released by Xiao Yun.

  "Boom!"

  The two collided, and suddenly exploded, as if a storm had been stirred up, blowing the floorboards into the air. The shockwave from the explosion sent Xiao Yun stumbling backward for a great distance.

  The surging energy was unstoppable, and when he looked up, Bai Yu was standing still on the spot, not a single thread out of place. This one move alone had already decided the outcome between them. To sum it up, Xiao Yun might now have the strength to fight against a musician realm cultivator, but facing Bai Yu, who could be compared to a late-stage musician realm demon cultivator, he was clearly at a disadvantage. The gap in their realms wasn't something that could be made up for just by saying so.

  "Hmph, young one, Heaven has a road you don't take, Hell has no gate you charge in, today I've met you again, don't think of escaping." Bai Yu smiled slyly, a white eagle spread its wings and directly pounced towards Xiao Yun, this little guy's body had many secret scriptures, comparable to the most precious treasures.

  Seeing the white feather approaching, Xiao Yun suddenly retreated two steps, Jiuxiao retracted, Ma Bu stood still, took a deep breath, and was about to unleash Ao Lai's roar.

  "Whoosh!"

  "Stop!"

  A white figure appeared on the third floor, blocking Xiao Yun's path, and gazed at Bai Yu with a cold expression.

  Bai Yu's hand, which was about to grab him, suddenly withdrew and looked at the woman in front of him with some displeasure. "Yuer sister, get out of the way, this has nothing to do with you. Today I must catch this little scoundrel!"

  "What's going on?"

  Ming Yu's eyebrows furrowed as she turned her head to look at Xiao Yun, and at this time, Ji Liu Feng and others also came up. Ming Yu felt a sense of unease in her heart.

  Xiao Yun's gaze swept back and forth between Ming Yu and Bai Yu, a cold smile spreading across the corners of his mouth. However, he didn't respond to Ming Yu's words. Just now, when Bai Yu called out "Sister Ming Yu", Xiao Yun had heard it loud and clear. It turned out that these two were in cahoots!

  Xiang Liu Feng stepped forward, facing Xiao Yun, and cupped his hands with a smile, "Sorry, Miss Ming Yu, my brother may have had too much to drink and made a mistake. Please forgive any offense!"

  Although Xiao Liu didn't know what had happened, Xiao Yun wouldn't attack without reason. Moreover, he could see that the white-clothed man was very powerful and both of them were unfathomable. Today, he hadn't brought anyone with him, if they fought, he would definitely stand on Xiao Yun's side and would definitely be at a disadvantage.
