After organizing all of the treasures that she was going to sell, Feng Yuxiang prepared to leave to find an auction house.
“Young Master, I don’t know when I will be back, but I will do my best to return as swiftly as possible.”
“Wait, Feng Feng. Take Xiao Hua with you.” Yuan suddenly said to her.
“Brother Yuan?” Xiao Hua looked at him with a questioning gaze.
“Although Feng Feng is a peak Spirit Grandmaster, we’re no longer in the Lower Heavens where Spirit Grandmaster is the peak. There are many Spirit Lords and even Spirit Kings in this world, and I want to make sure that nothing happens to her when she’s out there. After all, she’s carrying a lot of treasure, which could attract bandits.”
“…Okay.” Xiao Hua nodded her head despite knowing very well that nobody could harm Feng Yuxiang, who is a Divine Beast, as she wanted Yuan to be free of worries.
“You don’t have to worry about me. I won’t be going anywhere until you return.” Yuan said to them.
“See you later, Brother Yuan.”
“Stay safe, Young Master!”
“I should be saying that to you.” Yuan smiled as he watched them leave the hotel.
After they left, Yuan retrieved the Ten Thousand Ghost Blades technique and started studying it.
Meanwhile, Feng Yuxiang and Xiao Hua left the city.
“The Young Master is very caring, don’t you think so too, Xiao Hua?” Feng Yuxiang said to her as they traveled in the sky.
“Even if I am a Spirit Grandmaster, I won’t die to any Spirit Lord or Spirit King because I am not an ordinary cultivator, but a Divine Beast.”
“That is just Brother Yuan’s nature. Even if you can’t die, he still wouldn’t like to see you hurt.”
“If only I’d met him sooner in the upper heavens, maybe I wouldn’t need to be cursed like this…” Feng Yuxiang sighed.
“Enough talking, phoenix. Let’s hurry up and sell these treasures so that I can return to Brother Yuan as soon as possible.” Xiao Hua said in a nonchalant voice.
“Yeah, yeah. We’ll have to take the teleportation device in the next city that we’ll arrive in if we continue traveling this direction.”
Xiao Hua didn’t say anything else and suddenly increased her flying speed.
Feng Yuxiang silently smiled and followed her without losing in speed. In fact, she was still casually following behind Xiao Hua.
As a phoenix, she is naturally superior when it comes to flying, even if she’s in her human form.
Many hours later, they arrived at this massive city that was still bustling with people despite it being past midnight.
“Xiao Hua, stop at that city. We’ve arrived.” Feng Yuxiang warned her as they approached this city.
They descended shortly after and began walking towards the city entrance.
“Welcome to the city that never sleeps— Bright Night City. This is one of the busiest and wealthiest cities in the Second Heaven. Money never stops flowing in this place, and it’s where most merchants and cultivators go to find rare or unique treasures. Of course, it is also home to one of the biggest auction house names in the Nine Heavens, the House of Riches.” Feng Yuxiang introduced the city to Xiao Hua, who wasn’t really interested.
“They have an auction at least once a week, so we should be able to sell our stuff quickly.”
After paying a fee at the entrance and doing a quick background check to make sure they weren’t criminals, they were allowed inside the city.
Once they were inside, Feng Yuxiang led Xiao Hua to the House of Riches, which was located in one of the wealthiest streets in the city and also had the largest building there.
Feng Yuxiang adjusted her clothes before walking into the building with a glamorous air around her that made people turn their heads and shift their gazes the moment she entered their view.
One glance at Feng Yuxiang and everybody there could tell that she was someone of importance— someone worth their attention and respect.
In less than a minute after entering the building and without needing to say a single word, Feng Yuxiang managed to capture the attention of the guests and workers in the House of Riches with her aura alone.
“Welcome to the House of Riches, Esteemed Guests. How can we assist you today?” A beautiful woman approached them shortly after.
Feng Yuxiang glanced at her and said in a calm and clear voice, “I am here to sell my treasures.”
“I understand. Please, follow me to the VIP room, where you can arrange an auction with one of our supervisors.”
Feng Yuxiang nodded and followed this woman to another room on the second floor.
“Our supervisor will be with you shortly. Please satisfy yourselves with our spiritual tea and snacks for the time being on that table there.”
Once the woman left, Feng Yuxiang and Xiao Hua sat on the soft couch and waited for this supervisor to show up.
Three minutes later, a middle-aged woman who emitted a profound aura entered the room.
Xiao Hua glanced at this woman, who was clearly a peak Spirit Lord.
“Hello, Esteemed Guests. I am Gu Xiulan, the manager of this House of Riches. I heard from one of my assistants that you would like to sell at our auction house. Rest assured, our House of Riches will not only guarantee you the lowest commission rates, but your treasure will also sell for the highest in our auction house out of all auction houses within this city and nearby cities.”
“That’s good to hear. The more money I get out of the treasures, the more pleased my Young Master will be.” Feng Yuxiang nodded calmly.
‘Y-Young Master? Someone of her quality is actually serving another person?’ Gu Xiulan was shocked to learn that Feng Yuxiang wasn’t actually in charge and that she was only a servant.
However, this information did not make Gu Xiulan look down on her. In fact, she became even more fearful as she imagined the kind of person that could tame a woman like Feng Yuxiang.
Even though this is their first meeting, Gu Xiulan could tell by her aura and demeanor alone that Feng Yuxiang was someone of high status and not someone to be trifled with, not to mention the little girl that was sitting beside her, who appeared to be even more dangerous.
