Chapter 58: 058: Commotion at the Aucfion Hall.
After completing their mission, Tan Bingyu, Taiyang, and Yue Xuexia were ready to depart the Crimson Cloud Auction House when a disturbance occurred. The family, a woman and her husband, appeared to have insulted a cultivator as they were leaving.
"Can't you watch where you walk, you little bitch? Can't you see me holding a blue and white porcelain?! It's broken now. How do you intend to pay me? That 500 million worth of a vase!?" Shouted the fat young man in green robes, looking at the pretty lady wearing a formal wine red suit that fit her body.
This woman, who appears to be of the same generation as Yue Xuexia, stood out from the other girls due to her attractive figure and outgoing features. The fat young cultivator had a secret plan and lust in his eyes, which he did not try very hard to conceal. The woman in business attire bowed her head and lowered her head towards the fat man, knowing that she had offended him because she was only a mortal.
"I'm so sorry. We didn't do it on purpose. I will definitely pay it back. Please give us some time," the lady in the business suit said. Her name was Chen Yiling. She is an ordinary person who was able to attend this auction because of her grandfather, who is a cultivator.
Regretfully, her grandfather is occupied with something that will cause him to be late for her pick-up. She had no idea that this would happen to her after she had purchased necessities; she had no idea that this overweight man was lusting for her and would use this as a pretext to control her.
The fat bad man looked down on her and said, "You must pay it at this moment. Give you time? I have no time to waste. If you can't pay, you can only accompany me to repay it."
The overweight man staring at their president with such lustful eyes was met with a glare by Chen Yiling's spouse, secretary, and bodyguard—clearly, he had done it on purpose.
"You did it on purpose. We can check the auction house's surveillance camera for it!"
"Hmp! This auction house was created by a cultivator. Will they back you up or me? Just give up and accompany me. I will treat you well if you are obedient."
"You fucking P--!!"
The fat man reached out to grab Chen Yiling, only for someone to appear before him and slap him away.
ACKK!! BANG!
The man was slapped so hard that he flew to one of the auction house's pillars, shocking everyone because fighting is not allowed here. The man was slapped by Tan Bingyu, who was merely carrying out her mistress's orders.
The other cultivators who was with that man all shouted,
"Ah! Senior Brother Ma!"
Tan Bingyu had a disdainful expression on her face as she looked at the bad, fat man from before.
"Disgusting pig! It's okay if you are not handsome, but if your personality is also worse, then you are only a piece of sh*t!" Tan Bingyu said. She also overheard what that fat cultivator had said.
"What the hell are you doing, bitch!?"
"This had nothing to do with you!"
"Hah! You broke the rules of the auction house. Prepare to get yourself banned."
Finally, Yue Xuexia, who was still wearing her mask, stepped in and said it with a sarcastic tone.
"If this auction house can't even protect its guests, then I will never come back here ever again!" She declared.
"Heh~ who the hell cares about you mortals? Don't come back and pollute the air of this auction house!"
"Did you think you are important? Except for the money you guys have, there is no other worth!"
Many of these cultivators saw ordinary people as no different from ants, and when they noticed the disdain and sneer in the audience's eyes, Tan Bingyu and Taiyang became enraged. Many of these cultivators also believed that she was just a common mortal who laughed at Yue Xuexia.
Because the strength gap between an ordinary human and a cultivator is so large, the other mortals in the hall looked angry but were unable to voice a word. Tian Qiusi was the only one who could not stand to watch these young ladies being tormented.
"As guests of this auction hall, is it alright for us to be treated like this? Is this all that Crimson Cloud Auction House can do? Then I guess I have to report to the head about what kind of cultivators we had to welcome in our lands," Tian Qiusi said.
The cultivators believed that the man who had come forward to defend the two common ladies held a position of extraordinary authority in the mortal world. They could disregard the leader of the nation and the armed forces, for example, despite their superior strength over humans.
Upon witnessing Yue Xuexia's face and eyes go utterly iced, Taiyang felt compelled to act; after all, the person they are staring down at is none other than his host, whom we were instructed to keep safe. Besides, this time, even the system was working in his favor.
[I will allow you to use a strength beyond the innateness stage. Suppress all these damn dogs!]
Speaking, Taiyang moved to stand next to Yue Xuexia, enclosing her entirely in his protective embrace; Tian Qiusi was taken aback by his abrupt presence, while Chen Yiling remained motionless, staring at Yue Xuexia's covered face with ever-increasing familiarity.
"Mere dogs, that doesn't know your places. Kneel!" Taiyang said. His voice is cold and indifferent, as a surge of powerful aura was emitted by him.
Everyone was stunned and terrified by the powerful and dangerous aura coming from Taiyang. All ordinary humans were spared, but all cultivators at sight were forced to kneel down regardless of where they were in the hall. Collective groans, screams, and shrieks echo in the hall. They all could not control their bodies as the one before them was completely suppressing them with just a difference in cultivation strength.
Even an old cultivator in the early innateness stage was forced to kneel. In his belief, he couldn't help but exclaim.
"G-Golden Core. He is a Golden Core Cultivator!!!"
Even Tian Qiusi, who was also familiar with the stages of cultivation, was astounded to see that, in the Golden Core Stage, only the Cultivation World's oldest ancestors had those kinds of people. Moreover, all of them were over 500 years old, and a senior stood above the others.
Tian Qiusi could hardly move his head as he looked at the young man with a sharp gaze and conceited eyes, looking down on everyone kneeling. As if he is used to this kind of image.
'Who the hell are these kids?!' His current thoughts are.
Taiyang looked at the silent Yue Xuexia and asked, "Xue'er, what do you want me to do with them? I will listen to everything you want."
Everyone in the hall was tense, but they knew this girl was mortal; they assumed, like the other girl, that she would be afraid to offend them, but they were mistaken. Taiyang's words reverberated through the hall, and everyone could not help but stare at the gorgeous girls, whose faces were partially hidden behind a plain half mask.
No one saw who spoke up, but everyone heard what was said: "What can a mortal even do?"
"Yangyang, kill the first and the one that just spoke just now. Cripple that pig and break one of their arms or legs for me," Yue Xuexia said.
Though his Xue'er might have been mild-mannered, she would never allow others to intimidate her so easily in the first place, and Taiyang grinned as though he had anticipated this. Fearless when the circumstances called for it.
"Your wish is my command," Taiyang said, as Yue Xuexia had asked.
The final person to speak appears to have been the only person killed. Regarding the obese cultivator who was previously smacked by Tan Bungyu, he was rendered impotent by Taiyang because of his lust. This was a surprise to him.
AAHHH!!!
What the hell!?
Stay Away! Argh!
Ugh~ it hurts~
The other cultivators ended up with broken hands or legs, and while they all stared viciously at Yue Xuexia without saying anything, Yue Xuexia sensed that their eyes were filled with venom, and her countenance grew even more icy.
Yue Xuexia said, "Yangyang, I've changed my mind. Kill all those who looked at me with malice."
"Sure~" Taiyang only needed to snap his fingers, and those men were suddenly covered in red-gold flames.
As for the other cultivators who were spared, they could not help but thank their manners that they did not speak aloud or glare just now. The color of the flames is so unique and beautiful that even though it was such a tragic scene, no one could move their eyes away. Yue Xuexia and Taiyang looked at this scene with calm eyes. The mortals in the area had scrambled into one corner, where they were protected by General Tian Qiusi and his soldiers.
When the old masters of Lin Chiyu were informed, everything had long since come to an end, and they saw the divine doctor staring at them coldly, which made them shudder. Her eyes, when looking at the mortal little girl, were now full of fear. Those who were burned became ashes without a trace of their former selves. Her gaze was dull and indifferent, as if he was looking at the dead instead of the living.
The two seniors behind this auction house lowered their heads before Yue Xuexia, shocking everyone even more when they learned that she was the mortal victim of the Master of the Crimson Cloud Auction House's impending punishment.
The two old masters said, "Please, Divine Doctor, calm your rage!"
Everyone's thoughts: 'Divine Doctor!? She is the Divine Doctor!!??'
"The Crimson Cloud Auction House will do its best to give you an answer to this!"
"Please don't be angry. We will do our best to solve this problem."
Yue Xuexia said, "Then do as you said. If next time I come back here and there are still cultivators who look down on mortals, I don't mind getting them killed once more. As for those whose members were killed, compensate them with this."
She threw a few bottles of pill towards the two old masters and said, "If they agree to end this farce, accept the pill; if not, then prepare to get uprooted. I'm a bit tired. We will go ahead now."
"Divine Doctor, what is this pill?" The first master of Lin Chiyu asked.
Yue Xuexia answered nonchalantly, "Qi Gathering Pill."
