The phrase “win-win” was like opening a new world to Feng Zhenxin.
He immediately applauded.
“A fine win-win indeed. Whoever we are, if we work together, it must be win-win for both sides to be satisfied.”
“I like that phrase. Just based on those two words alone, as long as what you ask next isn’t too much, I’ll agree!”
Hearing this, Ye Yu smiled slightly, propping both hands on the table and getting straight to the point:
“I want to know who bought the Bihai Yin Chao Technique before.”
“In exchange, you can ask for whatever you want—demon stones, cultivation manuals, demon pills, anything!”
Ye Yu’s tone was confident, because Demon King Luo Ning had his back.
So naturally, he was fearless.
After all, he didn’t have to pay for any of it.
Feng Zhenxin didn’t rush to answer but tapped the table thoughtfully for a long time.
Finally, he spoke quietly:
“I can tell you who the buyer of the Bihai Yin Chao Technique is, and can even arrange for him to come to you.”
“In return, I want one thing—your friendship!”
Ye Yu’s expression grew serious.
As the saying goes, the most priceless things are the most precious!
If Feng Zhenxin had demanded a high price, that’d be expected—after all, it was a one-time deal.
The nickname “merchant” suited this fox demon owner perfectly.
But now, he wanted nothing except an intangible, elusive friendship?
That was the truly baffling part.
In this demon realm, Ye Yu wasn’t exactly a heavyweight figure.
And his cultivation at the peak of the Earth Demon Realm wasn’t outstanding.
He had even sensed Golden Demon Realm auras inside the Conscience Workshop.
In this case, as the workshop master, Feng Zhenxin shouldn’t be short on friendship with someone like Ye Yu.
When things go wrong, there must be a reason!
Ye Yu kept a calm expression and said softly:
“Master, you jest. I don’t think my friendship is worth that price. Why not ask for something else?”
Feng Zhenxin spread his hands and said:
“I run such a big auction house. I may not dare say much, but demon stones, demon pills, cultivation manuals—I have whatever I want.”
“So I value friendship between us demons more.”
“Sometimes, this friendship is far more important than material things.”
“Isn’t that right?”
Ye Yu’s smile deepened.
“Sounds better than it is.”
Though he still didn’t understand Feng Zhenxin’s true intentions,
Since the other insisted, he’d let it go.
After all, Ye Yu didn’t recognize any friendship Feng Zhenxin might claim.
Still, he had to phrase it nicely.
Pretending to be excited, Ye Yu said:
“Alright then, I’ll consider you a friend, Master. If anything comes up, don’t hesitate to speak.”
At this, Feng Zhenxin naturally brightened.
He immediately revealed that the buyer of the Bihai Yin Chao Technique was a monkey demon named Xiang Hanye.
He had good private relations with him, and if Ye Yu wanted, he could leave an address.
Ten days later, Xiang Hanye would be arranged to come to him.
At that time, if Ye Yu wanted to buy the technique, Feng Zhenxin could provide help with demon stones.
All just a matter of a word.
It had to be said: Feng Zhenxin spoke openly and honestly.
Even could be called a man of honor.
Ye Yu decisively gave the location of Juliang Mountain.
After all, Feng Zhenxin’s overly proactive attitude made him unwilling to leave Yingning Mountain’s name.
So they had to trade elsewhere.
After agreeing,
Ye Yu stood to leave.
But just as he reached the door,
Feng Zhenxin suddenly spoke again:
“Wait!”
Upon hearing this, Ye Yu’s eyelids twitched wildly.
Damn!
Could it be the fox demon discovered the secret under the cushion?
That would be bad!
Ye Yu gathered his right hand inside his sleeve, ready to use the Divine Control Heart Technique ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) on Feng Zhenxin if needed.
Though unsure if it would succeed.
Because this fox demon had a treasure that concealed his aura, making it hard to gauge his cultivation level.
If absolutely necessary, he would try to control him.
If that failed, then deal with it later.
Feigning ease, Ye Yu turned around.
“What is it? Master, anything else you haven’t said clearly?”
Feng Zhenxin asked carelessly:
“By the way, the ancient great demoness blood you auctioned here last time—what kind of Demon King was it from?”
Ye Yu’s mind raced.
To be honest, Zhu Yan’s bloodline was too special.
If possible, he didn’t want anyone to know.
Especially this fox demon in front of him!
So Ye Yu quietly said:
“I don’t know what kind of Demon King it was. After leaving here, I completely refined it.”
“Except my realm seems a bit inflated, nothing else changed.”
“So, I really don’t understand.”
“No problem if I don’t understand! Nothing to see here!”
Though Feng Zhenxin said it was nothing, his eyes fixed tightly on Ye Yu’s white hair.
Ye Yu’s expression remained calm.
He waved his hand and said:
“Leaving now. See you in ten days!”
Before finishing, Ye Yu pushed open the window and leapt down.
Then flew off into the distance.
His heart was extremely excited.
“Gone, gone!”
“This deadly situation has been turned around!”
After Ye Yu left, Feng Zhenxin stared at the open window, a cold gleam in his eyes.
“I’ve been so courteous, and yet you still won’t tell the truth?”
“That was ancient great demon blood. If you really didn’t recognize it, why pay over 700,000 demon stones?”
“And you say you don’t understand?”
“Do you take me for a three-year-old?”
“Whatever, I’ll sell your location to Xiang Hanye. He’ll be very happy.”
“Oh, and also to Chixiao the Goat Lord, Yang Xiao. That kid is a bit wild, but his master is a renowned figure.”
“Making friends with him is a worthwhile deal!”
Feng Zhenxin sneered and decided in his mind to sell Ye Yu’s information to these two demon lords.
He was well practiced in selling the same info to multiple parties.
But at this moment, he suddenly felt something was off.
If Ye Yu wanted to find him, he could just notify his underlings.
Why break into his room and sit in his seat?
Trying to seem profound?
No, a mere Earth Demon Realm great demon had no right to pretend to be profound inside the Conscience Workshop.
Why?
Feng Zhenxin suddenly felt an inexplicable unease.
Just then, a leopard demon came to report:
“Master, the demons guarding the treasury have been killed, and several items for tomorrow’s auction are missing!”
