A few seconds after Meixiu sent her auction request through the website, a staff member saw her request due to the request being tagged 'urgent' because of the information Meixiu had put in.
"Hmm… What do we have here… What?! Divine-grade treasure?!" The staff's initial thoughts after seeing Meixiu's auction request was that it must have been done by a troll since nobody has sold a treasure higher than Earth-grade since the game went online.
However, no matter how ridiculous the request seemed, it was his job to look through it.
"A Divine-grade zither… An instrument... Eastern Continent… Minimal price… 100 million?!" The staff's eyes bulged at the ridiculous price. However, if this was truly a Divine-grade treasure, that amount of money would be more justified.
"This request is obviously a troll, yet I am somehow hesitant to decline it for some reason…" The staff was feeling perplexed about this situation.
"This account is not only an anonymous account but also a new one, and it's selling a Divine-grade treasure that no player would have at this stage of the game… No, there's actually one person who could possibly have a Divine-grade treasure— Player Yuan. However, would he really sell his Divine-grade treasure so soon after getting it? Even if it's just an instrument, one wouldn't sell such a treasure unless they have something even more valuable…"
"People say he's rich since he isn't swayed by the countless offers to reveal his identity, so he doesn't need the money… Yet here he is, selling a Divine-grade treasure. Yeah, right."
Despite his suspicion that the request was fake, the staff didn't decline it immediately and sent a note to the anonymous requester.
[If you really have a Divine-grade treasure for sale, you wouldn't mind depositing 10,000 dollars first as a precaution if it turns out to be fake and a waste of our time, right? Once we determine that you really have a Divine-grade treasure, we will not only return the 10,000 but even double it. If you don't respond within 24 hours, we will deem this request to be fake and delete it as well as ban your account.]
Meanwhile, halfway across the world, Meixiu received a notification just as she prepared to close her laptop.
After reading the staff's note, Meixiu responded with a single word.
[Okay.]
Ding!
The staff responded half a minute later with the instructions.
Meixiu followed the staff's instructions and deposited 10,000 dollars on the site without hesitation.
[I have confirmed your deposit. Please tell us the city closest to your location so we can estimate how long it'll take for the nearest staff member to arrive for a meeting.]
The staff behind the computer typed this sentence with trembling hands since he didn't expect this supposed troll account to immediately deposit 10,000 dollars without hesitation.
'Either this troll has a lot of money and is willing to spend 10,000 dollars to waste our time or he's the real deal!' The staff swallowed nervously as he pressed enter to send the message to Meixiu.
Ding!
[I will let you know the location later.]
Since Meixiu doesn't know anything about the game nor its location, she couldn't give the staff a location until she speaks with Yuan.
However, the staff member responding to Meixiu was shaking behind the desk in nervousness.
"Later?! Why the hell are you making me wait?!" He couldn't help but curse out loud, causing his co-workers to look at him.
"What are you shouting about?" They asked him.
"Come look at this!" The staff pointed at his screen.
The workers gathered around him and read his conversation with Meixiu.
"What the? Divine-grade treasure? Is this for real?"
"Fuck! This must either be a troll or Player Yuan!"
"If this is a troll, he's one rich troll to spend 10,000 dollars just to waste our time."
"Right?! I was thinking the same!" The staff said.
"But what if it's real?"
"Then this auction will become the biggest auction on our website to date even if we include the auctions from the old games."
"Too bad we won't know until he gives us a location and we meet to confirm the treasure."
"Should we notify the headquarters or the higher up about this?"
"Not until we verify the treasure."
While the staff waited nervously for Meixiu to give them the location, Meixiu herself laid on the bed with the helmet on her head.
However, she didn't immediately enter Cultivation Online. Instead, she laid there with a nervous expression on her face.
"I am going to see Yuan… And he's going to be completely healthy inside the game…" Meixiu swallowed nervously at this thought.
After lying there for a couple of minutes, Meixiu pressed the power button on the side of the helmet and entered Cultivation Online.
Meanwhile, inside the game, Yuan said to Feng Yuxiang the moment he entered the game.
"Feng Feng, come out. I'll feed you my blood now."
Feng Yuxiang immediately appeared before him with her eyes glistening with anticipation.
Yuan retrieved the Starry Abyss and quickly slit an opening on his finger.
"Here you—"
Before Yuan could even finish his sentence, Feng Yuxiang threw herself at him and immediately began sucking his finger like she was a vampire starved of blood.
Xiao Hua also appeared just in case Feng Yuxiang wouldn't be able to stop sucking Yuan's blood by herself.
"Aaaahh… How refreshing…" Feng Yuxiang stopped sucking a few minutes later, releasing a satisfied sigh afterward.
"Are you okay, Young Master? Should I stop now?" Feng Yuxiang looked at him with her eyes glowing a beautiful golden color.
"I'm okay. You can drink some more." Yuan nodded.
"Thank you, Young Master!" Feng Yuxiang did not hesitate to place Yuan's finger back into her mouth and continued sucking his blood.
A few more minutes later, to Yuan's surprise, Feng Yuxiang's hair suddenly changed colors, turning scarlet red with a fiery feeling to it!
"Aaaaaah~" Feng Yuxiang released Yuan's finger from her mouth after another moment, completely oblivious to the changes in her appearance.
