Chapter 357: Chapter 357: Extremely Dangerous_1
However, the moment Shangguan Yan bit into the stinky tofu, her taste buds were violently assaulted.
Could stinky tofu actually be this delicious? Could it really taste better than the most exquisite delicacies?
She snatched the takeout box right out of Qin Feng’s hands, hijacked the chopsticks, and began devouring the stinky tofu with absolute relish, completely disregarding any image of ladylike grace.
After finishing the stinky tofu, Shangguan Yan immediately gave Qin Feng a dubious look with her little eyes and asked, "What are you doing bringing me stinky tofu this late at night? Unwarranted kindness is either a trap or a theft! Spit it out, what’s your game?"
"The word ’seduction’ is slightly unsuitable when applied to you. Because if there is any seduction, it’s you seducing me, and I am the victim."
"Scram!"
Shangguan Yan kicked Qin Feng in annoyance, using the tip of her high heel, aim right at his buttocks. But she didn’t kick hard, it was more the effort of playful banter.
After the kick, she asked fiercely, "What the hell are you doing here in the middle of the night, huh?"
"Definitely not here to ’do’ you."
"You... I’ll kick you to death!" Shangguan Yan kicked Qin Feng again.
Qin Feng unexpectedly discovered that each time a beautiful woman kicked his butt, his Xuanhuang Qi seemed to grow and become purer.
He didn’t even understand why it was happening, just felt that it was pretty pathetic of him. However, this kind of pathetic, he seemed to really like and enjoy.
"Do you remember the first time I came to Cauldron Medicine Pavilion? When I conned you out of several tens of millions, and made you so upset that you had an endocrine disorder."
"You still have the nerve to talk about it, I’ll kick you to death!"
Shangguan Yan rewarded Qin Feng with another kick, finding that his butt was quite resilient, and kicking it was more fun than kicking a ball.
If he ever became her husband, she’d not only kick him with her foot but would also smack him with her hand. In fact, she even felt the urge to bite him hard a couple of times.
"The Seven-Dragon Alchemy Furnace I conned from you last time was no good. I only made one pill last time, and the furnace exploded. It turned into pieces and was destroyed. So now, I don’t have a furnace to use."
"If you don’t have a furnace to use, what are you doing coming to me? Don’t tell me you, you rascal, after conning me once, you want to con me a second time? I’ll have you know I don’t have a furnace here. Even if I did, I would never let you con me again!"
"Even if Cauldron Medicine Pavilion did have a furnace, it would definitely be some ordinary junk, not the high-quality furnace I’m seeking. A high-quality furnace has Spiritual Energy, and I didn’t detect a trace of that in Cauldron Medicine Pavilion. But that charming feminine scent, I did get a whiff of that."
As he spoke, Qin Feng started to nudge his ’dog nose’ closer to Shangguan Yan.
"Scram! Stop being inappropriate here!" Shangguan Yan softly pushed him away and then said, "If you want a high-quality alchemy furnace, there might be a place that has one. But it’s extremely dangerous. I wonder if you’d dare to go?"
"Extremely dangerous? Sounds interesting. Where is this place?" Qin Feng was curious and excited.
"Guyi Auction Center."
"Guyi Auction Center? Judging by the name, isn’t it just an auction house? What danger could there be? And ’extremely dangerous’ at that?"
"Guyi Auction Center is under Guyi Group. They often auction off top-tier items. But no one can get a good deal there. If an item is worth a hundred million, you’ll have to pay at least two hundred million or more to walk away with it."
"And that, you call ’extremely dangerous’?"
"Do you know who owns Guyi Group?"
"Who?"
"Mr. Gu."
"Mr. Gu? Never heard of him."
"Mr. Gu’s real name is Gu Qinggong, and in the Elders Council of the Southern Faction, he ranks seventh; hence he’s called Mr. Gu. Sect Leader Feng Buhui of the Southern Faction has been in seclusion and meditation for years and doesn’t get involved with the faction’s affairs. So, the affairs of the Southern Faction are decided by the Elders Council, that is, by the nine elders. Although Gu Qinggong is seventh in rank, his words carry a lot of weight in the council. That’s because he’s the Sect Leader’s confidant, representing Sect Leader Feng Buhui!"
"We’re going to Guyi Auction Center not to provoke Gu Qinggong, but to bid on treasures, right? Even if Gu Qinggong is powerful and the Sect Leader’s confidant, he has nothing to do with us!"
"I know you too well. No matter where you go, you’re bound to cause trouble. If I take you to Guyi Auction Center, you’ll definitely provoke them. Guyi Auction Center is not like the Ghost Market at Medicine King Temple; it won’t be so easy to just walk away."
"You don’t trust me?"
"Trust you my foot!"
"I’m going to Guyi Auction Center at most just to pick up a bargain. If they can’t accept their loss and provoke me, I’m not one to be trifled with. If they can handle their loss, I’ll take my treasure and leave, without causing any trouble."
"Just as I thought, you rascal definitely plan on picking up bargains. But bargains at Guyi Auction Center aren’t easy to come by. And let me remind you, if you do find a bargain there, don’t you dare boast about it to me—keep it to yourself."
