บท 16: Chapter 16: The Harvest
After leaving Auction Hall One, Mo Yu followed a maid into a fragrant, quiet room and waited patiently with his head lowered.
Moments later, the sound of hurried footsteps echoed from outside, and a graceful figure pushed open the door and entered.
"Hehe, are you the one who entrusted the Xuan-Class movement technique for auction? This must be your first time in Wu Tan City, right?" A teasing, flirtatious voice, soft and electrifying, reached Mo Yu's ears, making his heart flutter slightly.
"She's quite the enchantress," Mo Yu thought to himself as he tucked his face deeper into his cloak, casting a glance toward the woman in the red dress beside him.
The woman was none other than Ya Fei. As soon as the auction ended, she had learned that the person who helped her out earlier was the one who had commissioned the Xuan-tier dou technique. She immediately ordered the maid to bring him to her office.
Mo Yu glanced at the seductive woman in front of him and nodded slightly. In a deep, charismatic voice, he said, "Was the auction successful? Just give me the money and deduct the cost of the Mountain River Stone."
Hearing this, Ya Fei covered her red lips with her delicate hand and laughed softly. Her full chest rose and fell in a breathtaking rhythm. After laughing for a moment, she smiled and said, "Please be patient, sir. The paperwork is still being processed."
Mo Yu nodded slightly, then, as if remembering something, he turned to Ya Fei and asked, "Does your auction house have any low-tier Na rings? My previous one broke, and I'd like to replace it. Hmm... I also need second-tier Fire and Lightning Magic Cores. Use the remaining money to buy as many as possible."
150.000 gold coins, spent with a few simple words.
Seeing Mo Yu's extravagant and carefree attitude, Ya Fei was momentarily stunned but quickly recovered. She waved a hand to summon a maid and instructed her to fulfill Mo Yu's requests.
"Sir, why did you spend three thousand gold coins on the Mountain River Stone earlier? Do you know its purpose?"
Ya Fei moved closer to him again, her beautiful eyes narrowing slightly as she probed, trying to gather more information.
Mo Yu looked at the enchanting woman in front of him, her curvaceous figure swaying seductively with every step. Her shapely, voluptuous body exuded an irresistible allure that would make any man with weak self-control feel a fire burning in his gut.
Especially when she leaned forward just now, he could faintly glimpse a hint of creamy white skin, sparking wild imaginations.
However, Mo Yu quickly calmed his thoughts and replied nonchalantly, "Miss Ya Fei, your delicate and charming demeanor on stage earlier was truly captivating. I bought it to win your favor, that's all. What? Three thousand gold coins is a lot?"
Naturally, Mo Yu wasn't going to reveal the true use of the Mountain River Stone. Instead, he changed the subject, deliberately expressing interest in the woman before him.
As expected, Ya Fei's beautiful face showed a slight pause. Thinking of his extravagant spending earlier, she realized that while three thousand gold coins might be a fortune to most, it meant little to this mysterious figure before her.
"Hehe, thank you for your patronage, sir," Ya Fei chuckled, remembering how he had come to her rescue during the auction.
"Seems like, no matter the world, spending money is the quickest way to a woman's heart," Mo Yu thought to himself, seeing Ya Fei's pleased expression.
"As long as it makes Miss Ya Fei happy, I'd say the three thousand gold coins were well spent," Mo Yu teased, steering the conversation away from the Mountain River Stone while amusing himself with the charming mature woman in front of him.
Unlike Xiao Yan, who was still a bit youthful and inexperienced, Mo Yu, having lived through three lifetimes, had become adept at understanding and navigating the psychology of women.
Ya Fei, observing the mysterious man before her, felt a pleasant mood settle over her, especially hearing that captivating masculine voice.
There were few women who could resist the charm of a man who spent money on them. Even if it didn't immediately create romantic feelings, it certainly fostered goodwill.
With Mo Yu deliberately guiding the conversation, a lighthearted exchange continued for about a quarter of an hour until a maid walked in with the requested items, interrupting the subtle tension that had begun to build.
"Are my things ready?" Although the pleasant conversation had been interrupted, Mo Yu's mood brightened, thinking about the harvest of today's auction.
"Mm," Ya Fei nodded, her pale chin slightly dipped in acknowledgment, though her face had flushed slightly, thinking back on their playful banter earlier.
Ya Fei raised her delicate hand, took a light blue jade card from the maid, and smiled, "Sir, the total auction price for the Xuan-Class movement technique was one hundred and fifty thousand gold coins. After deducting your expenses, the remaining balance is stored in this card."
She then took out a black Na ring and added, "The other items you requested are all inside this Na ring. Please check them carefully."
Mo Yu reached out and accepted both the jade card and the black Na ring. The cool, smooth texture in his hands revealed the quality of the items, clearly not cheaply made. He stroked the jade card lightly and nodded with satisfaction.
Ya Fei couldn't help but feel a strange sensation rise in her heart as she watched Mo Yu's pale, strong hands—hands that looked youthful yet powerful.
With a light probe of his soul, Mo Yu scanned the contents of the Na ring. The internal space was around three to four square meters. Besides several thousand gold coins, there was also a fist-sized black stone and two magic cores—one purple and one red—tucked into a corner.
They were the Mountain River Stone and the second-tier Fire and Lightning Magic Cores!
"A good haul," Mo Yu thought, a faint smile curling on his lips beneath his cloak.
The Mountain River Stone could be used to forge a Beast Ring, and the internal space of the Beast Ring would rival that of a high-tier Na ring. It would be perfect for storing items or contracting a Magical Beast in the future.
The two second-tier magic cores were enough to help him break through to the Dou Zhe level.
Thinking about his haul, Mo Yu felt that this trip hadn't been in vain.
With that in mind, he suddenly turned to Ya Fei and asked, "Do you have any third-tier Fire and Lightning Magic Cores here?"
Hearing his question, Ya Fei was momentarily stunned but quickly shook her head, "Third-tier and above magic cores are only available at higher-level auctions. I'm afraid Wu Tan City does not have any of that caliber."
Mo Yu, though slightly disappointed, nodded in understanding.
After all, third-tier Magical Beasts were comparable in strength to a Da Dou Shi. In a place like Wu Tan City, where Da Dou Shi were considered the peak of combat power, it was unlikely that anyone would risk their life hunting such beasts. The rarity of third-tier magic cores was unsurprising.
This was one of the reasons Mo Yu was so eager to leave Wu Tan City. As his strength gradually increased, this small city could no longer meet his needs.
Now that he had everything he came for, Mo Yu decided not to linger. He casually waved a hand at Ya Fei and said indifferently, "I'm leaving."
"Oh…"
Hearing that Mo Yu was leaving, Ya Fei felt a faint sense of reluctance rise in her heart, though she didn't know why.
With that, Mo Yu stood up and resolutely walked out of the bewitching room.
As she watched his figure disappear from view, the smile on Ya Fei's face slowly faded. Recalling the way he had subtly flirted with her earlier, a blush gradually crept across her face. With her voluptuous figure lazily leaning back into her chair, she found her hand unconsciously wandering…
