“Ding dong, congratulations to Player Zhang Hao for killing a Shadow Assassin. Experience points 200,000. True Qi 20,000. Frenzy Energy 10.”
“Ding dong! Congratulations to Player Zhang Hao for leveling up. Currently at Great Martial Master Ninth Heaven.”
Since nothing good dropped, Player Zhang Hao didn't care. Currently, Frenzy Energy was very precious. He wouldn't use it casually. However, leveling up to Great Martial Master Ninth Heaven was already a qualitative improvement. He was only one step away from Martial King.
After finishing everything, Player Zhang Hao collapsed onto the ground. He walked in front of Ye Yun, looked at her, and asked, “How are you?”
Ye Yun was also seriously injured. Her face was pale at the moment.
“Ye Yun, thank you. If it weren't for you earlier, I don't know if I would still be standing here,” Player Zhang Hao said sincerely to Ye Yun.
“What are you thanking me for! We are friends,” Ye Yun smiled faintly.
.
Suddenly, Ye Yun thought of something and looked at Player Zhang Hao, saying, “Zhang Hao, why did the Nangong Family's Shadow Assassin target you? As far as I know, the Nangong Family's Shadow Assassins rarely make a move. They usually only deal with the Nangong Family's mortal enemies.”
Player Zhang Hao recalled Nangong Jin, whom he had killed on Soul Severing Bridge, and shook his head with a bitter smile, “Maybe it's because I killed Nangong Jin!”
“Nangong Jin?”
Ye Yun immediately understood. As the successor to the next Clan Leader of the Nangong Family, it was indeed very normal for the Nangong Family to desperately seek him out after Player Zhang Hao killed him.
“Swallow my Dan, it will heal faster,” Player Zhang Hao took out a Dan and handed it to Ye Yun.
“Okay!”
Ye Yun was not polite and swallowed the Dan given by Zhang Tian Gao. About half an hour later, Ye Yun opened her eyes and smiled at Player Zhang Hao, saying, “I'm almost recovered.”
“Then let's go! It's quite unsafe here. I don't know if anyone else will come looking for trouble,” Player Zhang Hao said with a bitter smile.
“You seem to have a lot of enemies! Sky Punishment, and now the Nangong Family. It's possible someone else might really come looking for trouble,” Ye Yun looked at Player Zhang Hao and smiled teasingly.
Player Zhang Hao shook his head and said somewhat helplessly, “I can't help it. This is what they call being popular attracts trouble.”
“Oh, come on! I'm even wondering now if I should stay with you,” Ye Yun said with a teasing smile.
“Then get lost as soon as possible,” Player Zhang Hao rolled his eyes at Ye Yun and said in annoyance.
“Hehe, just kidding, don't be so stingy. It's just that this time you came out, how did so many of your enemies know and all come to find you?” Ye Yun asked.
“Hmm, I find it strange too. It seems someone from Tianwu Academy leaked it,” Player Zhang Hao frowned.
“It seems your enemies are truly everywhere. Your character is really bad!” Ye Yun said with a teasing smile.
“Stop with the sarcastic remarks, let's go. We can't stay here long,” Player Zhang Hao said seriously.
Less than half an hour after the two left, another figure appeared beside the Shadow Assassin's corpse. This was an Old Man with bushy eyebrows and white hair, hovering in the void. He was clearly a Middle Stage Martial King, radiating a terrifying pressure.
Looking at the Shadow Assassin's corpse on the ground, the Old Man said coldly, “Hmph, the Nangong Family is useless, they can't even deal with a Great Martial Master. It seems I need to take action personally.”
As he finished speaking, the Middle Stage Martial King flew away, disappearing into the forest in the blink of an eye.
On the second day, Player Zhang Hao and Ye Yun left the forest and returned to Sifang City. Originally, Player Zhang Hao and Ye Yun planned to rest briefly in Sifang City before leaving. However, upon learning that the local Haitian Merchant Association would hold its annual auction, Player Zhang Hao and Ye Yun decided to stay.
The annual auction would definitely be grand. Player Zhang Hao and Ye Yun naturally wouldn't miss it. Perhaps they could find something good there.
“Zhang Hao, but this time the Haitian Merchant Association's auction is not open to the public. Even if you have money, you can't get in. Even an invitation doesn't work!” Ye Yun looked at Player Zhang Hao and said somewhat troubled.
“Haitian Merchant Association? Don't worry, I have a way,” Player Zhang Hao smiled mysteriously.
“You have a way?” Ye Yun looked at Player Zhang Hao in surprise.
Actually, entering the Haitian Merchant Association was nothing. It was just that Ye Yun didn't bring some of her Family's things with her this time. Otherwise, let alone the Haitian Merchant Association, even a higher-level merchant association would be nothing to him.
On the way to the auction house, there was a bustling crowd, all prominent local figures. City Lords from various cities and disciples of some large local families were everywhere.
Seeing this, Player Zhang Hao knew that this auction would likely be very lively. Little Black, at some point, had run out of his pet space and was perched on his shoulder, looking around with interest.
Indeed, Little Black, palm-sized, fluffy, with large sapphire-like eyes, was absolutely adorable.
“Wow! What a cute Little Black Cat!” Ye Yun immediately scooped Little Black into her arms.
During the battle in the forest, although Little Black and Little Dragon both took action, the two beasts were quickly put back into Player Zhang Hao's pet space, so Ye Yun didn't see Little Black at that time.
Player Zhang Hao watched Little Black being held by Ye Yun, looking quite comfortable. He was secretly amazed. Didn't this perverted Little Black usually dislike being held by men? Why did it change sex now? Did it also like effeminate men? Player Zhang Hao's heart trembled, and he looked at Little Black with some malicious intent.
At this moment, a carriage pulled by four fine horses approached from a distance. Perhaps due to the excessive number of vehicles ahead, this carriage temporarily stopped beside Player Zhang Hao and Ye Yun. The carriage curtain was lifted, and a man and a woman stepped out. The man was a Young Master with greasy hair and powdered face, looking arrogant. The other girl was as beautiful as a flower, truly stunning.
Their eyes swept over Player Zhang Hao and Ye Yun indifferently, not paying much attention, as if looking at air. Clearly, their ordinary attire didn't catch their eye, and they wore a condescending expression.
Player Zhang Hao frowned, but he could tell at a glance that these two were likely here for the auction.
“Brother Yun, that Little Black Cat is so cute!” The girl's eyes lit up when she saw Little Black in Ye Yun's arms.
“Oh, you like that Little Black Cat? Brother Yun will buy it for you.”
The Young Master smiled confidently and looked at Ye Yun, saying to him, “Here are 100 gold coins, for your cat.”
After speaking, the Young Master threw a bag of silver coins in front of Player Zhang Hao and Ye Yun.
Player Zhang Hao was almost angered to the point of laughing. Wanting to buy Little Black with just a bag of gold coins was simply ridiculous. It probably couldn't even buy a single strand of Little Black's fur.
“Not for sale!” Player Zhang Hao shook his head.
The Young Master was refused and felt somewhat annoyed. In Sifang City, no one had ever dared to refuse him like this.
“Ge Xia, do you think the money is too little? Name your price!” The Young Master said in a deep voice.
Since he had boasted in front of his cousin, he naturally wouldn't give up halfway.
Player Zhang Hao said indifferently, “I'm afraid Ge Xia can't afford it, so it's better not to name a price.”
“Can't afford it, hahaha, there's nothing my Xia Family can't afford in Sifang City,” the Young Master said arrogantly.
