The girl mustered up all of her courage to speak it out, but nobody in the room responded to her.
Her hope of getting some help was extinct. By then she only felt frightened.
She turned around. What came into her sight was that old womanâs sullen face. Paralyzed by fear, she fell on the ground.
âMisters, all of the girls in the Fairy Maiden Bar signed a contract with us. Donât believe whatever she told you.â
The old woman said to the clients in those separate rooms. Then she gave the girl a hard stare.
Alas. She is so stupid. Iâm not surprised that she was sold here, Jiang Chen thought to himself.
Asking for help in such an environment was like a sheep begging for mercy in a wolf pack, but lucky for her, he was there this day.
âHahaha, interesting. Itâs really interesting. I want this one, too.â
The youngster burst out laughing instead of feeling empathetic. He said, âLittle beauty, take it easy. I will give you a home.â
The girl was as pale as a ghost. She was scared out of her wits.
The other girls shook their heads helplessly. Some of them even looked disdainful and contemptuous, since they thought all she was doing was playing hard to get.
Soon, the young man bid for her.
Because of what had happened to the old man, no one had the nerve to bid.
It seemed unless the young man stopped bidding himself, the others wouldnât get anything this day.
âShe is mine.â
Jiang Chen, who had been silent for a long time, said. Then he also offered a price.
Since it had been always very quiet in his room, the others would have thought it was empty if he hadnât spoken.
âYou are audacious.â
The young man looked over and met Jiang Chenâs eyes. His look seemed sharp enough to pierce the curtain.
âWhat? Canât I bid?â Jiang Chen asked.
âYes, you can. You certainly can. Iâm just afraid you will end up as fatigued and as disappointed as that old guy.â
The young man smiled coldly. He raised his hand right away.
His casual manner suggested he was sure he would get this girl, too.
Soon, the price had soared to ten million upper-grade yuan stones.
This was the highest price until then.
âIf I find you are only bidding to raise the price, I will make you pay a price,â the youngster warned him.
He was extravagant, but he didnât want to be deceived on account of his generosity.
âTut. Tut. Tut. You donât want to spend the money, do you? In that case, twenty million,â Jiang Chen said with a cold smile.
He made a bid of twice the last offer. It created a great uproar in the room.
The youngster, who had never hesitated to bid, was struck dumb. Then he said, âGreat. So, my last bid is 25 million.â
He intentionally said it was his last bid to sound out Jiang Chen.
âThirty million,â Jiang Chen said without hesitation.
In this way, the youngster confirmed Jiang Chen wasnât a plant of the Fairy Maiden Bar and he was really rich enough to bid.
âForty million!â
The youngster, who had claimed it was his last bid, said in a deep voice, knocking on the table. It was too hard for him to swallow.
âDidnât you say it was your last bid? You are so boring. So, Iâll play the game with you. Sixty million,â Jiang Chen said again.
As soon as he offered the price, what the staff of the Fairy Maiden Bar felt was worry instead of pleasant surprise.
He sounded like he was just horsing around.
âMisters, you will have to pay if you bid.â The old woman felt obligated to warn them.
The youngster snorted. A vicious look showed in his eyes.
The two Celestial Venerables in his room launched an attack together when Jiang Chen had sensed there was something wrong.
However, they attacked the girl instead of him!
âIf I canât get her, you canât, either!â the youngster yelled.
âHe is so cruel!â
The other people in the room were all shocked. They had never seen such a vicious man before.
A cold wind started when the girl in the Reaching Heaven State was about to be killed by the Celestial Venerables.
The Celestial Venerable who had come up to the girl first froze.
Next to him, an extremely beautiful woman appeared. Blood was flowing down the dagger in her hand.
âI...â
Even though he was dying, this Celestial Venerable still couldnât believe that his life would end for nothing.
âWhat?!â
The youngster was given a good scare by the Celestial Venerableâs death. The pride on his face was completely gone. He even fell off his chair.
Jiang Chen jumped into the youngsterâs room, carrying lightning and thunders along his arms.
âYou are the type I hate most.â
Before the youngster could come to himself, Jiang Chenâs punches rained on him.
The other Celestial Venerable wanted to help, but after noticing Jiang Moliangâs cold look, he just stayed where he was, not daring move a little bit.
The youngster was after all a Spiritual Venerable. However, he couldnât resist Jiang Chenâs attack at all. Jiang Chen gave him a good beat.
He got to his feet with his hand on the wall while Jiang Chen walking out of the room.
âWho are you?! You know who I am?!â the youngster shouted.
âMu Qiyun.â
Jiang Moliang called out his name. Then she said coldly, âDoes your elder brother know what you are doing?â
âWhat?â
âListen up! We are from the Jiangs.â
Jiang Chen told the youngster where they were from loudly when the latter was in panic. A cunning look flashed in his eyes.
âYou!â
Jiang Moliang flew into a rage, since he had pretended to be a member of the Jiangs.
If others knew a disciple of the Jiangs visited such a place, the Jiangsâ reputation would be damaged.
âWhy? Itâs you who killed a man,â Jiang Chen said.
To be honest, he didnât expect Jiang Moliang to be so violent. He was surprised that she had killed in the first attack.
It seemed she had had so many pent-up emotions that she had to vent them on someone.
âGreat! Great! The Jiangs!â
Mu Qiyun didnât dare keep arguing with them anymore after knowing they were from the Jiangs. Although he was still reluctant to admit his defeat, he could do nothing else but slip away.
As to the dead Celestial Venerable, his companion took his dead body away.
There was still a huge pool of blood on the ground.
The staff of the Fairy Maiden Bar glanced at each other. They didnât know what to do next.
âCollect money from her. What are you waiting for?â Jiang Chen said, amused.
âWhy should I pay?â Jiang Moliang said in anger.
âShe is my practicing resource. I donât think she is too much for me to use,â Jiang Chen said, seemingly serious.
The girl showed a gloomy smile. She had lost her will to fight.
âShame on you.â
Jiang Moliang sworn in a low voice. Then she came up to the old woman. She said, âGo to the Tongtian Bank to get your money.â
She took out a bank note as she spoke. Then she wrote a number on it.
âNo. No. You donât have to.â
To her surprise, the old woman shook her hands immediately. She said, âMiss Jiang, I canât take your money. Even if I take it, it will go back to the Jiangs in the end.â
âWhat do you mean?â Jiang Moliang was confused. She didnât know what the woman was implying.
However, Jiang Chen reacted quickly. He said intentionally, âOf course. Donât you know it? Itâs the Jiangs who are supporting the Fairy Maiden Bar.â
âShut up!â Jiang Moliang certainly knew he was lying, but the Fairy Maiden Bar didnât.
Seeing Jiang Chen know something, the old woman thought he was influential in the Jiangs. So, she said, trying to curry favor with him, âYoung Master Jiang, you like someone else? Just tell me. I guarantee you will be satisfied.â
âHahahahaha!â
Jiang Chen didnât respond. He burst out laughing, seeing Jiang Moliangâs face. Her expression looked interesting.
Then he helped the girl put on some clothes, and left with her.
âCome to find me when you straighten this out.â
Seeing Jiang Moliang totally petrified, Jiang Chen knew she hadnât realized anything yet. He shook his head helplessly.
