Chapter 191 -143: The Arrival of the God Thief

As for those who hadn’t managed to buy anything, their uproar was even more spectacular.

“Let’s go home! Wait till we get home, I’ve had enough! Just because I’m nice enough not to make a scene in public, doesn’t mean you can take me for granted!”

“So it’s a few billion, just a tiny amount of money that you can’t even bear to spend on me!”

“If we just increased our bid one more time, it would have been ours. Why didn’t you? You must certainly not love me anymore!”

“Fine, I’ll remember this Sun Haifei! You must have someone else on the side. Why else would you refuse to buy me a simple pet…I’ve married you for so many years and given birth to two children. I might no longer be pretty, hence, you’re not concerned about me anymore….”

“….”

Anyway, the streets were filled with similar rants.

The men wore dejected faces persistently defending themselves, but the women who had just missed an object of their affection weren’t listening at this point.

Every kind of emotion surfaced, but no one was in a good mood!

These situations left many men contemplating their existence.

If they had known it would come to this, they would have bankrupted themselves at the auction to secure their desired items – at least that would have saved them a lot of complaints and given them some peace!

…

The auction left He Xiangming terrified, dumbstruck, and in disbelief!

The cause was straightforward, the money made from the auction was too much – much more than what He Xiangming could ever imagine, how could she not be shocked‽

Yes, imagine, not predict, it was indeed way too much!

However, on the other hand, Zhu Weiran’s propensity to offend others with her words was the main reason for He Xiangming’s distress.

“Uncle Zhuang, you were too brazen! Even though the outcome was excellent and the earnings were great, none of the bidders in this auction were ordinary people; they were all formidable characters… Aren’t you afraid of their revenge?”

Zhu Weiran responded dismissively: “The purpose of an auction is to make as much money as possible. I was merely fulfilling my duty as an auctioneer. Besides, it was you who organized this auction, why should they take it out on me? Even if they want revenge, they should be going after you first! Targeting me, someone who was just doing her job – where’s the sense, ability or logic in that?”

He Xiangming: “…..”

Your argument is too sound, I’m left speechless.

But in doing so, aren’t you selling me out? Don’t you feel guilty at all?

Zhu Weiran continued: “Miss He, you have an odd look in your eyes, I assure you, I’m working in good faith! My current role is an auctioneer. My duty is to auction off things for the highest possible price! The higher the price, the better! Now that I’ve auctioned off the seven beasts for several times the estimated highest bid, you should be thanking me for my efforts. Shouldn’t my bonus and commission be increased?”

Speechless and in indignation, He Xiangming left.

Working in good faith? You’ve offended so many people for me and you even demanded a bonus and commission‽

Is there such a thing in this world?

Unfortunately for He Xiangming, there is such a thing in this world. And what’s even more frustrating is…she had no choice but to give him the bonus and commission, with quite a substantial increase too.

Because every word Zhu Weiran said made perfect sense, He Xiangming couldn’t find fault with any part of it in all good conscience, so how could she not give in?!

Later in the evening, when He Xiangming brought the massive wealth and new beast cubs to Feng Yin, she had a lengthy complaint about Zhu Weiran.

“I’m not saying it’s bad that we sold the beasts at a high price…I just felt…those men…were subjected to something a bit too much…”

He Xiangming added with a speechless expression: “This afternoon, Gold Castle Master Jin Rongxing came to see me, he looked so pitiful… He asked me to save him a beast at any cost during the next auction! His face was scratched like he’s been attacked by a cat…”

“Then there’s Master Li Lanshan. Not only was his face scratched, his ears were even bleeding… I thought he had been robbed when he first arrived, but it turns out it was his wife who scratched him…”

He Xiangming sighed: “I’ve always thought that women on Anping Continent were secondary to men. Who would have thought that women’s status was so high. I heard that Master Fei Maiyun has been beaten up by his wife to the point he can’t even get out of bed, he had to send his steward to plead with me…”

Feng Yin shivered as he listened.

He really couldn’t figure out why a few pets could cause such a fuss‽

Is it necessary‽

This time, He Xiangming brought more new creatures, a total of thirty. Every single one was an adorable, newborn cub with great potential for the future.

Thanks to this auction, He Xiangming realized just how low her previous selling methods were compared to Zhu Weiran’s.

That’s how they should do business in the future, who wouldn’t want to make more money! They can’t operate in that small courtyard beside Feng Yin anymore, though. They needed a bigger place specifically for auctions.

As for the auctioneer, they would still let Zhu Weiran continue, and cross the bridge of him being chopped by someone when they come to it.

It’s undeniable that making money this way is faster.

All the targets He Xiangming set for her mission in Tiannan this year had been met with a surplus after this auction.

This was simply…

A dream come true.

The vast wealth was briefly in Feng Yin’s hands before landing back in Zhu Weiran’s and Hu Lengyue’s.

While Feng Yin didn’t have any specific pans for these funds, the two old professions knew exactly where every single copper coin should be spent.

As for embezzlement…

Feng Yin did not even think about it – a heavenly level master embezzling these few ounces of silver, it’s not even worth thinking about.

Zhu Weiran would naturally not embezzle. He took this money and began to shop on a large scale.

What he bought seemed odd, if not bizarre. Things like Spiritual Pearls and elixirs were not necessary.

Besides, he didn’t need to use money for these things, did he?

He went straight to the one place he didn’t dare to provoke in his heyday – the Yuezhou branch of Universe Building.

This place is truly where one can find the best items.

Updat𝓮d from frёewebnoѵēl.com.

Elixirs, Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, as well as high-grade Extreme Rank Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, along with numerous other items non-existent in the mundane world.

Zhuang Weiran made a hefty deal right off the bat, putting down a deposit of five billion, asking the Universe Building to find Illusory Silkworm Silk for him.

Because this kind of item, even the Universe Building does not readily have at hand.

A five billion deposit, and when the item arrives, the remaining amount will be settled with Spiritual Crystals. As for the deposit, it’s basically just a bonus on top!

But if they can’t find it, sorry, they must return double the amount.

This isn’t Zhuang Weiran being overbearing, this is just one of the firm rules that the Universe Building has upheld to this day.

Everything in the Universe has a price, if you’re buying and they have no stock, they should return double the amount!

The boss of the Universe Building agreed swiftly.

And he agreed to another thing: the next auction will be held at the Universe Building.

Zhu Weiran was very pleased with this transaction.

He felt that his outward transaction was a success and he brought back many high-grade elixirs that are extremely rare in the mortal world and displayed them in front of Feng Yin.

All of these were things that Feng Yin could use at his current level, and of the highest quality.

Feng Yin was highly satisfied with Zhuang Weiran’s discernment.

But when he heard that Zhu Weiran had actually formed a partnership with the Universe Building, Feng Yin’s face suddenly turned sour.

The guy I’ve been trying my best to avoid, you actually invited him to our doorstep.

He hastily instructed Zhu Weiran a few sentences.

Zhu Weiran laughed heartily.

“In the dark! In the dark! I guarantee, even if you deal openly and directly with the Universe Building as my boss, they will never guess the truth!”

Feng Yin sighed.

Even if it’s in the dark, no matter how confidential it is, this risk is still one that we cannot bear…

“I asked the Universe Building to get Illusory Silkworm Silk within half a month… when it arrives, you can discard that Ink Silkworm Silk.”

“What if the Universe Building can’t get it?”

“If they can’t get it… then it’s not the Universe Building anymore. But the problem is… If they do get it, we don’t have enough Spiritual Crystals to pay for it… This is the truly fatal part…”

Zhu Weiran sounded quite melancholic.

It seems that I have to do some work every night for a while.

Is this considered overtime?

Going to negotiate silently with those high-ranking individuals or those large clans every night is quite a tiring task.

But it’s alright, currently in Yuezhou, I’m the boss, so what I say goes!

Zhu Weiran kept calculating in his heart: I need to find those things anyway, might as well see if there are other goods, Spiritual Pearls, Neidan, and so on…

These, Kid Feng has repeatedly expressed his needs.

Of course, these are things that cannot be mentioned to Feng Yin.

So when Feng Yin asked if there was a solution, Zhu Weiran patted his chest and said, the problem isn’t big at all!

Leave everything to me to handle.

We are rich and grand, we have plenty of money.

Feng Yin carelessly let it go without further concern.

Little did he know, as a result of his inattention, during the following period, almost all the Martial Artist families in Yuezhou… had their Spiritual Crystals collectively stolen!

No matter how well hidden, or even if they were carried on person…

They just vanished without a trace!

As if they evaporated overnight.

For a while, Yuezhou City was in uproar.

Who on earth was so audacious and mad?

They committed thirty acts of theft in one night, and the victims had no knowledge of it during their dreams.

This event shocked the top brass in Yuezhou, the Martial Artist circles, and all martial arts practitioners.

Even after an investigation by the Rainbow Heavenly Clothes, there were still no leads. Even the most skilled professionals couldn’t find any signs of theft.

This was truly strange.

“Who is it? Who could possess such unpredictable skills?”

They finally reached a speculation: “Could it be that the world-renowned thief from twenty-plus years ago has come to Yuezhou?!”

This speculation immediately spread like wildfire.

“It must be so!”

“Other than that person, no one else could possess such skills!”
