God of Pets-Chapter 616: Exposed

As the fingers brushed over, the numb stiffness on her face disappeared without a trace.

Feeling the refreshing sensation on her face, Ximen Bing quickly took out a mirror to look at herself.

Her eyelids no longer drooped, her mouth was no longer twisted, and she regained her original charming, spirited appearance.

Ximen Bing rubbed her face with her hands, then puffed out her cheeks, twisting her facial features in various ways.

"Alright, really alright." The huge weight on Ximen Bing’s heart finally lifted, and she thought to herself: "This guy may be despicable, shameless, and nasty, but he did keep his promise."

"Goodbye." Ximen Bing threw down a sentence and turned to leave.

Had she not been thinking of finding her father to deal with Chen Guan, she would rather say "never see you again."

But this guy had tormented her so badly, she couldn’t swallow this anger no matter what.

"Are you planning to leave Mei City?" Chen Guan suddenly spoke.

"What else?" Ximen Bing didn’t look back.

"Then you better be careful, see if the Divine King is still around." Chen Guan said casually.

"No need for your reminder, I’ll leave during the auction, the Divine King definitely won’t give up competing for the Dragon Blood Grass just to catch me." Ximen Bing said confidently: "You probably don’t know, the Divine King has awakened multiple times using True Dragon’s Blood and the Celestial Destiny Secret Treasure as the foundation. Others take the Dragon Blood Grass for their pets or something, but he uses it for himself, completing seven awakenings, so he won’t sacrifice the significant for the insignificant."

"Makes sense, but even if the Divine King doesn’t personally come after you, do you think you can escape?" Chen Guan said with a smile.

"Why can’t I escape, I have Ghost Immortal Step and Flying Immortal Sword..." At this point, Ximen Bing suddenly froze.

These days she had been anxious over her face, her mind all on it.

For her, appearance was more important than anything, and it was only now she remembered her Flying Immortal Sword was in Chen Guan’s hands.

"Um... how much do you want... I’d like to buy back the Flying Immortal Sword..." Ximen Bing could only humble herself again, discussing nicely with Chen Guan.

"Not for sale." Chen Guan’s words made Ximen Bing so frustrated she could spit blood.

"But I can give it to you." Chen Guan shifted his tone and continued.

"You would be so kind?" Ximen Bing couldn’t believe that Chen Guan would be such a good person; surely he had ulterior motives.

"Here’s the deal, accompany me to the auction, help me bid on two items, and I’ll return the Flying Immortal Sword to you." Chen Guan said with a smile.

"Neither of those items is Dragon Blood Grass, right?" Ximen Bing snorted coldly.

"Smart." Chen Guan nodded.

"Don’t dream, I don’t have the money to bid on treasures like Dragon Blood Grass." Ximen Bing knew it would be this way and laughed coldly.

"No worries, whatever money you have, contribute that much effort, I’ll cover the rest." Chen Guan said.

"Okay." Ximen Bing agreed readily, thinking: "Anyway, you don’t know how much fortune I have, so I’ll just make a token bid."

"In addition, I have one more request." Chen Guan continued: "In front of others, you have to say I’m someone under your father."

"What are you trying to do? That’s absolutely impossible." Ximen Bing feared Chen Guan would use her father Xi Men Drunken’s name for something, making others tally the debt on her father’s head, which she couldn’t possibly do.

"Then I’ll say you’re my Ninth Concubine; if you deny it, you can forget about the Flying Immortal Sword." Chen Guan wanted to borrow Xi Men Drunken’s name because the auction, hosted by Jin Taohua, was organized by the City Lord Mei Saint.

Ordinary people simply couldn’t enter the auction without an invitation; Mei Saint wouldn’t issue invitations to someone like him without fame.

He had to borrow Xi Men Drunken’s name to get an auction invitation.

Ximen Bing finally understood Chen Guan’s intentions and snorted coldly: "You just want to use an invitation to attend the auction, why don’t you use your own name?"

"My family name isn’t notable." Chen Guan thought, if he exposed his family name, he’d be skinned alive.

"I can get the invitation and take you to the auction, but you can’t speak nonsense anymore, say anything about being the ninth... concubine..." Ximen Bing was indeed curious if Chen Guan really had eight concubines.

"Deal." Chen Guan agreed readily, as long as he could achieve his goal.

Ximen Bing went out alone and came back after a long time, now holding an invitation in her hand. Chen Guan glanced at it and found it was an invitation for a VIP guest room, which allowed up to three others to attend along with the holder. It showed that Xi Men Drunken still had quite a presence there.

However, Chen Guan felt somewhat frustrated; he attended the auction wanting Jin Taohua to see him and benefit from his appearance.

Going to a VIP guest room where nobody can see him would defeat the purpose.

"Can this be used to sit in the regular seats?" Chen Guan asked Ximen Bing.

"It’s like a pig who hasn’t tasted fine bran, you have VIP seating and won’t sit, why go to regular seats?" Ximen Bing sneered.

"Forget it, we’ll see when we get there." Chen Guan thought, once they entered tomorrow, he could find a chance to show himself, worst-case he’d just stand inside the venue, so Jin Taohua should be able to spot him.

But when the next day came, and the two went to the auction venue, Chen Guan realized he had been a bit naïve.

The VIP room and regular seating weren’t in the same place, and they had completely separate access.

But on the way, he bumped into the Divine King, who gave him a cold look with undisguised killing intent.

Qing Ya followed beside the Divine King, like a concubine serving a king.

Watching the Divine King and Qing Ya leave, Chen Guan suddenly had an idea because he noticed Qing Ya’s fingers seemed to inadvertently make a mysterious gesture.

That gesture, Chen Guan remembered, was the first move Qing Ya used last time during their battle, it was just this gesture.

In the room afterward, Chen Guan used the excuse of going to the bathroom to leave the VIP room.

"There’s a bathroom in here." Ximen Bing thought he didn’t know.

"I prefer a bigger bathroom." Chen Guan said as he left the VIP room, closing the door behind him from the outside.

He actually went to the bathroom because Qing Ya’s seemingly inadvertent gesture earlier pointed to this bathroom.

The bathroom outside was large, because it had to accommodate humans and demons, and provide facilities for Secret Spirits, so there were many special rooms.

Chen Guan entered the one Qing Ya had pointed out, and after a while, Qing Ya pushed open the door and walked in.

"Long time no see, didn’t expect to meet you here, we really are fated, should I call you Captain Chen, or should I call you Boss Zi?" Qing Ya tidied her hair, pulling back the loose strands, revealing her delicate features and jawline.

Chen Guan could now be sure, Qing Ya did recognize him, not just as Chen Guan, but also as Zi Donglai with Fujimura Reiko.

The reason Chen Guan came was to find out how Qing Ya recognized him, what flaw he had that normally people couldn’t recognize him as Zi Donglai.
