"Why are you looking at me like that and smiling so stupidly?"
Seeing Tang Yu smile foolishly while staring at her face.
Liu Yanlan felt a little uncomfortable; it had been a long time since someone had looked at her so directly.
"I think the elder sister is very beautiful, covering your face is a waste."
Tang Yu answered sincerely.
Liu Yanlan made a gesture with her fingers, and the cloud layer on her face reappeared, smiling.
"Anyway, you've already seen me, so the reward is already settled."
"Besides, we saved a lot of money for the sect. The elder sister, as the sect leader, really works hard."
Tang Yu praised.
Liu Yanlan didn't pay attention to this boy's jokes, she leaned the small boat against the Tower:
"If you don't have anything else to do, I'll leave first, I still have some matters to attend to."
"Yes, I have to go out these days."
"Where are you going? To find yourself in the Thousand Treasures Shop?"
"No, I'm going to take care of something personal, but don't worry, Fang Meiyun just had a tough time, so she doesn't feel like causing me trouble right now."
Upon hearing Tang Yu speak with such certainty.
Liu Yanlan didn't ask any more questions, just reminded him.
"Same as always, be careful with everything."
"I know."
Tang Yu smiled as he got off the boat, lifting Tang Mao with one hand.
Just as Tang Yu was about to go back and rest with her, Liu Yanlan, who was already drifting away in the boat, suddenly left a phrase.
"Don't draw me, or I'll give you a beating."
"…"
Tang Yu smiled awkwardly upon having his thoughts exposed, setting aside that little mischief.
After resting for two days in the Tower.
Tang Yu finished handling his matters and got ready to go find Lin Xuan.
"Dad, where are you going? I also want to go out and play."
Seeing Tang Yu leave.
Tang Mao, who had no work or training, shot out and shouted.
"I'm going to do something serious, do you want to bother me?"
Tang Yu said as he got ready to leave.
He suddenly remembered that some of this girl's skills might be useful.
So he raised his hand and tucked her under his arm.
"I can take you, but along the way, you have to listen to me, understood? You can't interrupt me, okay? And don't call me by my name."
"Yes, Dad, if along the way you see any aunt or sister you like, I'll help you talk to her, I can even put something in her drink."
Tang Mao nodded vigorously, showing that she was a reliable daughter.
"I appreciate it."
Tang Yu, with a face of not knowing what to say, thought that this girl, at such a young age, already seemed like a disciple of a demonic sect.
"Why so polite? By the way, where are we going?"
"The Ice City in the Snow Kingdom, do you know it?"
"How would I know? I've never left the Sect."
"…"
Tang Yu thought he had asked a pretty stupid question.
"By the way, Dad, how did you find me? How did you choose this incomparable treasure among all the treasures?"
Tang Mao was already on Tang Yu's back, her little head resting on his shoulder, showing a satisfied expression.
She didn't have to work anymore, just eating spiritual stones to train.
If happiness was a matter of measure, this girl was among the happiest on the continent.
"That was quite dangerous, back then I was alone and had to provoke a dispute between two major sects, we almost caused the seven major sects to plunge into war…"
Tang Yu began to explain seriously.
After listening, Tang Mao felt like she had been picked up from a garbage bin.
Feeling a little sad, she extended her chubby little hand and pinched Tang Yu's face.
"Dad, it really wasn't easy for you to have lived this long."
"Who would have thought?"
Tang Yu, rarely agreeing, took out a high-quality spiritual stone from his pocket and put it in this girl's mouth to make her stop talking.
The destination they were heading to was the Snow Kingdom, located in the center of the southern continent.
This place has a special spiritual aura, so the probability of people born there becoming cultivators is much higher than in other places.
Moreover, all cultivators in this place are naturally practitioners of ice magic.
Since it is not part of the territory of the seven major sects.
In the Snow Kingdom, there are no major sects, but rather some powerful families, whose strength levels are comparable to second-tier sects.
According to the main plot, an auction will take place in the Ice City.
Lin Xuan had gone there to auction a thousand-year-old snow lotus heart for alchemy.
This item is one of the typical products of the Snow Kingdom, and alchemy is one of the main ways Lin Xuan earns money.
Upon arriving in the Ice City, Tang Yu cast a spell from afar to hide Tang Mao's ears and tail.
Otherwise, carrying a little demon girl in disguise would be too conspicuous.
After entering the Ice City, Tang Mao stuck her little head out, looking around before murmuring.
"Dad, I think something's wrong here."
"Why's something wrong?"
"The people here wear thicker clothes, almost no one wears black stockings, you definitely won't like it here."
"Who said I have to like black stockings? It also has its charm to dress warmly, do you know what abstinence means? Look at that Taoist nun, even though she's completely wrapped up, she can't hide her slim figure…"
Just as Tang Yu was about to give a lesson on what abstinence meant, that attractive Taoist nun suddenly stopped, turned around, and walked toward Tang Yu, shouting angrily.
"Pervert, you want to die."
"It's all your nonsense talk."
When Tang Yu saw that the woman was really coming to look for trouble, he cursed and, carrying Tang Mao, started running.
The other person was also impatient and didn't stop chasing, insisting on giving Tang Yu a good beating.
After a while of struggling, Tang Yu found himself trapped in a dead-end alley, blocked by the Taoist nun with a magical tool, a silk fan.
The nun extended the threads of the fan around her, making sure he couldn't escape, and with a fierce expression, she said:
"If I don't teach you a lesson today, pervert, you won't know what respect is."
"Holy one, I was just joking with my daughter, why be so aggressive? Also, I didn't say anything bad, I just think you're very beautiful."
Tang Yu smiled with a friendly face.
"Shameless, you still have the audacity to say that? Talking to a little girl about these things, I'll rip out your tongue."
The Taoist nun, furious, smiled wickedly, and after making a gesture with her hands, the threads of her fan shot toward Tang Yu.
Tang Yu stayed still, not moving.
After a while, when several seconds had passed, the Taoist nun, with a face red as if she had drunk chicken wine, adjusted her robe and, looking at Tang Yu with fury and despair, muttered:
"The pervert has humiliated me too much, this revenge will not go unpunished."
"See? That's how abstinent women are, the more they wrap themselves up, the more they want to break free, they feel happy inside but will never admit it."
Tang Yu whispered to Tang Mao.
Tang Mao nodded vigorously.
Upon hearing Tang Yu's words, the Taoist nun, so angry she even started to cry, covered her sore backside and quickly went to seek help.
Meanwhile, Tang Yu, carefree, continued strolling through the Ice City with Tang Mao on his back.
With plenty of time, they even bought some crystallized sugar canes.
The two walked down the street, each biting their sweet.
One line of candy was still unfinished when Tang Mao pulled Tang Yu's ear and said:
"Dad, someone has come to look for trouble."
Tang Yu looked back and saw that the Taoist nun he had annoyed earlier had arrived with another, slightly older Taoist nun.
The older Taoist nun already had the strength at the mid-stage of the Golden Core Realm.
Her aura was more seductive than the other Taoist nun's.
"Master, it was this person who insulted me!"
From afar, when she saw Tang Yu, the Taoist nun immediately pointed at him and shouted.
The Taoist nun, whom she called "master," had a cold expression, quickly flew toward Tang Yu and said in an icy tone:
"Who are you to humiliate my disciple like this? You'll have to explain yourself."
Upon hearing this, Tang Yu remembered who she was: a second-tier sect with some fame, close to the sect of the Maidens, a typical Buddhist monastery.
"My daughter and I told her she was beautiful, and she started hitting and killing. Fortunately, my strength is a little higher than hers, I applied a small punishment, and that's considered humiliation?"
Tang Yu responded with disdain.
"Isn't that humiliation? She..."
The Daoist nun was about to say that her disciple had gotten a swollen rear end from the blows.
She paused for a moment and then, in a cold tone, said: "No need to say more, come with me to the Three Spirits Sect."
"To hell with you and your grandfather."
Tang Yu cursed and, carrying Tang Mao on his back, ran toward an uninhabited place.
The Daoist nun tried to follow them quickly.
Upon reaching a secluded spot, without interruptions, Tang Yu suddenly stopped his run.
Tang Mao, realizing the situation, jumped off his back and looked at the Daoist nuns with eyes full of sympathy.
What's wrong with them, did they buy one-on-one offers?
Half an hour later.
The Daoist nuns, with faces full of shame and fury, pointed a fan at Tang Yu, threatening:
"You have severely humiliated my Three Spirits Sect, wait until our master comes to hold you accountable!"
"Is your master pretty? If she's pretty, then I'll wait here and fight the three of you; if she's not, then I'm not interested."
Tang Yu asked shamelessly.
"You'll wait for death!"
The Daoist nuns left these cruel words and quickly left.
Once they were gone, Tang Mao looked at Tang Yu and asked:
"Aren't they crazy? Are they still going to call someone? If they call someone who can't even handle you, won't they lose all face?"
"That's what you call the unity of master and disciple. They feel good, but still have to respect their elders. Although I think a senior monster will appear soon. We better get out of here."
Tang Yu laughed and quickly walked away with Tang Mao.
They hadn't walked much when an old woman appeared, floating on a lightning bolt.
The old woman had a youthful face and white hair, holding a fan in her hand, and her aura was terrifying.
Seeing that there was no one around, she swept her divine sense for a moment and, realizing that the "pervert" had already disappeared, she stayed there.
After a while, the Daoist nuns arrived running.
"Master, where is that villain?"
"He has already left. His cultivation level is not low, maybe even at the Nascent Soul realm. Go contact the city master, we offer a reward of fifty high-level spiritual stones to anyone who provides clues. Whoever kills him will be an honorary guest in my Three Spirits Sect and enjoy the benefits of our sect."
The old woman said in a gloomy tone. Who was this person who dared to challenge her Three Spirits Sect?
In less than two hours, the entire Ice City was filled with wanted posters for Tang Yu.
Meanwhile, Tang Yu was already hiding in an immortal-style inn.
He opened the window and saw the wanted posters pasted on the walls.
Tang Yu smiled, after all, when he was out, he never used his real face, he had already changed his appearance a while ago.
As for Tang Mao, to avoid being recognized, she returned to her original form.
At that moment, a knock came at the door, and the voice of the waiter was heard from outside.
"Immortal master, the auction order you requested is ready."
"Bring it here."
After the waiter delivered what he had brought, Tang Yu took out a high-level spiritual stone and tossed it, saying:
"No need to give me change, keep the rest."
"Thank you, immortal master, thank you, immortal master."
The waiter, excited, knelt and thanked.
Tang Yu raised his hand to signal him to leave.
Now that he had the auction order, all he had to do was wait for Lin Xuan to appear.
Meanwhile,
Outside the Ice City.
A young cultivator with a handsome face walked toward the city. It was Lin Xuan, who had come from the Guiyuan Sect.
After spending some time in meditation and cultivation.
His cultivation level had already reached the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment realm!
Among the disciples of the Guiyuan Sect, he couldn't even find an opponent for a one-on-one duel.
However, apart from him, the vast majority of the disciples of the Guiyuan Sect had already started to group with Lin Qing.
Although the cultivation level of this group wasn't as high as his, in a group fight, he couldn't gain an advantage.
Besides, he had been stripped of his clothes and thrown outside earlier.
Now, in the Guiyuan Sect, he kept to himself, dedicating himself solely to cultivating and training even harder.
"If I manage to refine the Xuan Yin Pill, reaching the Golden Core realm in half a year shouldn't be a problem. Then, I'll take my revenge and leave the Guiyuan Sect. This sect is too small!"
Murmuring these words in his mind, Lin Xuan took a big step toward the Ice City, preparing for the next advancement in his cultivation.
After spending spiritual stones to obtain an auction order,
Lin Xuan chose accommodation at an inn to wait for the auction to begin.
Now, in Ice City, many inns were already filled with cultivators,
all there for this auction.
For cultivators, two or three days pass in the blink of an eye.
When the auction began, the cultivators started to enter the auction hall.
When Lin Xuan entered, someone pushed him from behind, hitting his shoulder.
He frowned and looked back, only to discover that it was a young man with an ordinary appearance.
The young man was holding a small pink fox in his arms, and upon seeing him, he smiled with an apologetic expression.
"I'm sorry."
"No problem."
Lin Xuan didn't relax.
He didn't know why, but he felt an extremely strong aversion and distrust toward that person.
It was as if that person was an abyss without end, smiling at him in a threatening manner.
This feeling left Lin Xuan stunned for a moment.
When he regained his senses, the young man with the fox had already disappeared.
"What happened?"
He muttered to himself before returning to his seat, feeling an inexplicable discomfort inside.
As more cultivators kept entering,
the auction was about to begin.
Lin Xuan discarded that uncomfortable feeling and began to focus on the items that would be auctioned on the stage.
This time, he had brought a hundred high-level spiritual stones, which he had earned by diligently refining and selling pills.
If he only bought the Lotus Heart, he should have some money left.
"Maybe I'll get lucky."
At that moment, the auction finally began.
The elderly auctioneer, after warming up the atmosphere, started the auction with a technique manual.
