87 -87: Hijacking
“No need!” Just when everyone thought they could witness a perfect match, a cold voice came from the private box, An Yumei’s voice, cold yet still enchanting.
Yan Yinglong’s originally smiling face immediately froze, and the folding fan in his hand stopped as well, as if he had been struck deeply.
He forced a twitch of his lips, revealing a slight smile, and said, “Miss An, my sincerity—”
“What I, An Yumei, need, I will buy myself!”
Pfft!
A burst of laughter arose from the crowd below.
Those Spirit Gathering Realm Martial Artists, who dared not and could not afford to participate in the bidding for the Wind Spirit Fruit, could only watch and drool secretly, envying it.
Now seeing Yan Yinglong get snubbed, they naturally took pleasure in his misfortune.
Yan Yinglong’s face turned gloomy, and with a wave of his hand, the black curtain in front of him fell.
He tapped the armrest of his chair and murmured, “An Yumei, since you have spurned my goodwill, don’t blame me for not being chivalrous!
I don’t have that much time to play games with you!”
“Go, execute the second plan!”
“Yes!” said the slightly hoarse voice previously.
Ma Kuanjun then continued the auction of the Moon Beads, and this time two were auctioned in succession at eight thousand and six thousand respectively, irritating the man in the front so much that his nose almost went crooked.
In just five minutes, he had spent an additional two thousand Spirit Stones!
Two thousand Spirit Stones!
Then came the second Wind Spirit Fruit.
“Ten thousand!” An Yumei directly called out a price that would make most people despair.
“Twelve thousand!” Zhou Heng finally joined the fray.
Now that there were only two Wind Spirit Fruits left and his assets were still increasing, his psychological limit for each fruit had risen to around twenty-five thousand Spirit Stones.
Though a person could only consume one Wind Spirit Fruit, he didn’t mind taking both—one for himself and one for Zhou Dinghai.
He believed his father would definitely break through the Spirit Gathering Realm.
“Fifteen thousand!” An Yumei said coldly.
The crowd watched the new price war with great interest, and many even thought that Zhou Heng, like Yan Yinglong, intended to win the Wind Spirit Fruit only to offer it to An Yumei to win her favor.
Give it away?
As if anyone would think Spirit Stones are too hot to handle!
“Eighteen thousand!” Zhou Heng declared, wealthy and powerful indeed.
After acquiring the Treasure Moon Mirror, he effectively possessed a cornucopia, earning at least one thousand Spirit Stones a day, akin to owning a Spirit Stone Mine!
“Nineteen thousand!” An Yumei’s voice showed a trace of irritation, clearly, she didn’t have twenty thousand Spirit Stones on her, hence the smaller increment in her bid and her decision not to bid after Yan Yinglong called out twenty thousand.
“Twenty thousand!”
A dead silence fell over the assembly, as no one expected the second Wind Spirit Fruit to fetch a price of twenty thousand Spirit Stones.
Now it was over, who could compete with An Yumei for the last Wind Spirit Fruit?
In the private box, those Initial Separation Realm experts all frowned, who could have anticipated that they, the authorities, were merely audience this time?
“We now auction the fourth Moon Bead!”
…The fourth Moon Bead was raised to a high of nine thousand Spirit Stones!
The reason was simple, those Initial Separation Realm experts, realizing they couldn’t compete with An Yumei for the final Wind Spirit Fruit, targeted the remaining two Moon Beads, inadvertently driving their prices up.
“Ladies and gentlemen, now the last Wind Spirit Fruit!” Ma Kuanjun was very excited, as the total worth of the items auctioned under his gavel today was almost going to break the hundred thousand Spirit Stones mark!
“Ten thousand!” An Yumei’s flirtatious voice rang out instantly, sweet and seductive.
“Twenty thousand!” Zhou Heng directly called out a price that made An Yumei feel desperate.
The venue fell silent again.
Even if they hadn’t memorized Zhou Heng’s voice, they could tell from which private box it came—it was indeed the man who had taken the second Wind Spirit Fruit.
This young man was truly ruthless, having already secured one Spirit Wind Fruit and still bidding for another.
Didn’t he know that consuming more Wind Spirit Fruits was pointless?
In the private box, An Yumei was also furiously livid; she had never expected Zhou Heng to make another aggressive move against her!
What to do?
The auction house had no rule for credit; if everyone acted this way, what was the point of the auction?
She had only brought nineteen thousand Spirit Tickets, and while a small part was earned through the Wonderful Fragrance Building, the rest was all An Ruochen’s fortune!
Her father even joked with her that these were her dowry; once spent, they were gone!
Yet unexpectedly, she couldn’t even spend it—was this heaven’s way of destining her to never marry?
What use was resistance?
The auction house recognized only money, not people.
Was she supposed to bring up An Ruochen to intimidate others?
Not to mention that would be utterly useless, Heavenly Treasure Pavilion’s backing was terrifyingly strong, and she was not that kind of person either!
Endure!
An Yumei was so angry she breathed rapidly, naturally assuming Zhou Heng was deliberately provoking her.
Otherwise, who would pay such a high price for two Wind Spirit Fruits—it wasn’t worth it, and one person couldn’t consume two anyway.
“Let’s go!” She stood up and walked out of the private box.
“Yes, Miss!” The maid who had been standing behind her chair immediately responded, yet her gaze at her mistress’s back was tinged with hesitation and flicker.
An Yumei’s departure naturally did not affect the continuation of the auction.
The fifth Moon Bead also broke the record, fetching a high price of eleven thousand.
All in all, although Zhou Heng had spent forty thousand Spirit Stones, he did not have to pay out of his own pocket and even managed to make a profit.
After settling the accounts, he put away the two Spirit Wind Fruits stored in the jade box, launched the Swift Cloud Radiant Step, and instantly fled several miles away, leaving those unwilling dark robbers to sigh in defeat.
…
In a delicate carriage, An Yumei held a wine glass in one hand, her pretty face glowing radiantly as she thought resentfully of Zhou Heng.
Suddenly, she felt a slight dizziness.
Just as she was about to put down the wine glass, she found herself unable to exert any strength in her hand.
The glass dropped onto the table and rolled off, luckily, the thick carpet inside the carriage prevented it from breaking.
Bang!
She could no longer sit upright and collapsed onto the table.
“Miss, what’s wrong?” her maid cried out anxiously.
Just then, a sudden neighing of horses came from outside, and the carriage immediately stopped.
Soon after, the sounds of a brief scuffle were heard, then the carriage door opened, and a tall man in brocade entered.
It was Yan Yinglong!
“Miss An, I have long admired you and have come to invite you to join me,” he said as he briskly opened his folding fan, looking very dashing.

An Yumei could not even muster the strength to move her fingers, staring at her maid with angry and desperate eyes.
On her, she had a Jade Token made by An Ruochen himself—in case of danger, squeezing it would bring An Ruochen rushing to her side!
But now she had no strength to do it!
Clearly, Yan Yinglong was well-prepared.
He even knew about her secret weapon and had drugged her beforehand!
And the ones who knew these secrets and could execute this plan were none other than her closest maid.
Why?
Why betray her!
She mouthed slightly with her sexy red lips, staring at the maid.
“Miss An, everyone has a weakness!” Yan Yinglong said with a slight smile as he waved his fan, and with a thrust, the fan sliced through the maid’s neck, and a beautiful head immediately soared, blood spurting wildly.
An Yumei’s captivating eyes involuntarily contracted—no matter what, she had been in daily contact with the maid for over three years, and despite the betrayal, there was still an emotional bond.
“She has a brother who was captured by me, which forced her to drug you secretly!
However, even if it was under duress, betrayal is betrayal, so I’m sending her to the Underworld to reunite with her brother!” Yan Yinglong stated coldly.
This man is ruthless!
An Yumei felt a chill in her heart.
The other was systematically executing his plan, clearly targeting her!
His aim was not hard to guess—control her to ultimately control An Ruochen.
And how to control her?
An Yumei closed her eyes in despair.
She was a woman, an extremely beautiful and alluring woman.
In a man’s clutches, what fate could she possibly expect?
“Miss An, this place lacks ambiance.
Let me take you to an inn to rest,” Yan Yinglong said as he grabbed her by the collar, whooshing away in a flurry of moves, quickly arriving at an inn where a room had already been prepared by his servants.
An Ruochen treasured his only daughter deeply.
It wouldn’t take long for him to notice An Yumei’s disappearance, which would certainly ignite the towering rage of this Land Cleaving Third Layer Heaven expert.
Then including the Nine Major Peaks, everyone would be a suspect!
Although the Sea Mountain Sect was powerful, it wouldn’t dare confront an expert of the Land Cleaving Third Layer Heaven head-on.
If he took An Yumei back now, it would not take long for them to be discovered!
While Tianhang City’s inn might seem dangerous, for the moment, it was unlikely anyone would think to look there.
Of course, this secret wouldn’t last long, but by that time, An Yumei would have been utterly subdued!
All those involved in this matter had already been silenced by him, and his task now was to conquer An Yumei—starting with her body and then her heart.
He had no choice—his older brothers were already aligning against him, and their father allowed them to fight among themselves, convinced that only the strongest and most ruthless deserved to inherit the position of the Sect master of Sea Mountain Sect.
If he couldn’t find powerful support, he was doomed!
Time was running out!
He sighed inwardly.
He would have liked to conquer An Yumei’s heart before enjoying her enchanting body, but how could he when she had promptly rejected his advances?
“Miss An, this is the antidote.
It will restore your strength very soon.
However, I’ve added something else, hmm, it won’t harm your body, just makes you particularly desire intimacy with a man!”
Yan Yinglong barely smiled as he slipped a dark red pill into An Yumei’s cherry lips.
The pill dissolved upon contact with saliva, and since An Yumei was powerless, she couldn’t spit it out.
It immediately flowed down her esophagus.
The effects of the drug acted quickly, causing An Yumei’s eyes to become hazy, as if veiled in a layer of mist, making her appear even more seductively charming.
“Ha ha ha, let me enjoy how the cold and proud An Yumei turns into a slut!”
“Eat this Spring Charm Pill, and no matter how icy you are, any woman will lust after men!”
“One pill a day, and I don’t believe I can’t break down your resistance!”
At that moment, Zhou Heng just happened to come back after taking a long detour.
