Chapter 142 No more pretending, I’m going to show off my cards
“Is this the point!?”
Chen Xian knocked over the guard in front of him and couldn't help but complain to Lu Yuguan.
"It's very important, okay?" Lu Yuguan said angrily.
"Are you still struggling..." Chang Yun curled her lips and said, "Two fists can't beat four hands, let alone two against ten?"
"Even if you have extraordinary abilities, you will be exhausted to death sooner or later."
The audience was very enthusiastic, and the veiled woman on the stage raised the price to more than five thousand taels.
Chang Yun smiled. The higher the price, the more satisfied she would be.
There was a lot of noise in Lu Yuguan's ears. He had to deal with the waitress, check on Chen Xian's situation from time to time, and was even disturbed by the voices of Chang Yun and the audience.
"The price is now eight thousand taels!" the veiled woman shouted excitedly. "Anyone else want to bid?"
Lu Yuguan caught a glimpse of the female guest who had bid eight thousand taels. She had a pair of deer antlers hanging on her head and was obviously a demon cultivator. Her hideous grin was chilling to look at.
Holy shit, what kind of auction is this?!
Are there no other items for auction?
Lu Yuguan was still complaining in his heart when the veiled woman started her final bid.
"Eight thousand taels for once!"
"Eight thousand taels twice—"
"Damn, Tong-chan, your dear host is about to be sold!" Lu Yuguan shouted.
[First, let's review the title. Please remove the word 'dear'.]
The system said slowly.
"...I'm talking about something urgent."
"Don't make trouble."
Lu Yuguan was speechless.
「Then I can only say──」
[This is very good]
The system said calmly.
Lu Yuguan:?
Why don't you listen to what you're saying?
[I have food, shelter, and a place to sleep. Aside from the possibility of blindness and inability to digest food, there aren't any downsides, right?]
"Taro paste and coconut!"
"Where's the promised civilization cultivation system?"
Lu Yuguan cursed loudly.
[You're not the one begging them to pay, why should I interfere?]
The system complained.
Lu Yuguan: ...
[If you are kept by a rich woman, I will not have to worry about it]
Lu Yuguan: Are you fucking serious?
Seeing that the system was unreliable, Lu Yuguan could only think quickly about the battle situation.
If there was enough time, with the spiritual power of the furnace, he would be able to join forces with Chen Xian to get rid of this group of female guards.
But if Chang Yun intervenes, it will be considered a mission failure, and he will also be labeled as impotent.
"Chang Yun's methods are too strange. I have to delay for some time before I can come up with a foolproof method!" Lu Yuguan pondered.
"Brother Chen, can you still hold on?" Lu Yuguan took a few steps back and looked at Chen Xian.
"You underestimate me too much," Chen Xian wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his thumb and said confidently, "Another hundred won't be a problem!"
"That's fine."
Lu Yuguan rushed behind Chen Xian, using him as a human shield. He then quickly changed his body shape, approached the veiled woman, and a flash of lightning flashed from his right hand.
"Sting Thunder!"
The violent lightning bolt rushed towards the veiled woman, and just as she was stunned, the lightning bolt stopped between the two of them.
As Lu Yuguan expected, Chang Yun took action.
"You silly girl, you can actually use such a trick?" Chang Yun looked at Lu Yuguan coldly and said.
The veiled woman was frightened by this move, and the small hammer in her hand flew out instantly. Seeing that the rhythm of the auction was interrupted, Lu Yuguan felt much more at ease.
Everyone in the audience couldn't sit still any longer. Seeing this, the Deer Horn Demon Cultivator couldn't help but sneer, "You guys from the Wenxiang Pavilion can't even subdue a woman?"
"If I had known it would be so terrible, I should have persuaded the Demon General to raze this place to the ground."
The female demon cultivators present shouted in agreement.
"That's right, it's just a small Yiluo, what's there to keep?"
"The Demon General is too merciful. In my opinion, he should capture everyone and make them slaves!"
"If Wenxiang Pavilion can't even handle this situation, I don't think there's any point in coming again."
……
The noises around them became louder and louder, and Chang Yun's face became as dark as a cloud.
"Damn thing!"
"How dare a little girl like you humiliate me in Wenxiang Pavilion?"
"What are you still standing there for? Kill her for me!"
As Chang Yun shouted, the maids who were still stunned changed their targets and rushed towards Lu Yuguan.
"Damn, are these women crazy?!"
Lu Yuguan originally wanted to delay time by moving around, but it seems that this is not going to work.
"That's the only way I can use—"
"Wait a moment!"
Lu Yuguan shouted loudly.
"Any last words?" Chang Yun looked at her coldly.
"I have one last question," Lu Yuguan asked seriously, "As a human cultivator, why would you want to collude with demonic cultivators?"
There was a deathly silence in the whole audience, and then they broke out into laughter.
The human female guests were dressed in luxurious clothes, but their faces were flushed red. They pointed at Lu Yuguan and cursed him like petty people.
"How can a lowly person like you have the qualifications to comment?"
"Anyone here can crush you!"
"I don't know where this guy came from, he's so naive and ridiculous!"
"Stop wasting time and go die!"
Although the female demon cultivators did not say anything, they just looked at Lu Yuguan with pitiful eyes, which was a kind of mockery to the dying creature.
Ever since they occupied Yiluo, the demon cultivators have replaced the upper ruling class. The original nobles have been forced to submit and have all become puppets of the demon cultivators.
In order to live a decent life, the nobles exploited the people and abducted men, gradually becoming thorns in the backs of their compatriots.
Chang Yun was so angry that she wanted to subdue him immediately.
"Sister, you haven't answered my question yet," Lu Yuguan straightened up, stared at her, and said, "I have seen many innocent people slaughtered by demonic cultivators. Under the blood, they were all like grass."
"Excuse me, as a righteous monk, I cannot tolerate your behavior."
Chang Yun looked at her with complicated eyes, but refused to relax her tone at all.
"There's no point in saying more. Let me meet you in person!"
Looking at Chang Yun who was walking slowly towards him, Lu Yuguan also revealed his spiritual power, and his half-step golden elixir state was fully activated.
"You are also at the half-step golden elixir level?" Chang Yun asked in shock.
The guests in the audience were all shocked.
"When did such a master appear in Yiluo City?" The Deer Horn Demon Cultivator said to himself with a slight smile, "How interesting..."
Lu Yuguan glanced at Chen Xian, who was at ease beside him, and felt relieved.
"If you can't even deal with a Half-Step Golden Core cultivator, then don't blame me for not knowing etiquette—"
"excuse me!"
Lu Yuguan shouted, "Bring the knife!"
The green bamboo stick in his hand disappeared, replaced by a butcher knife filled with evil spirits.
The condensed blood-red evil spirit instantly filled the entire venue, and many Foundation Establishment cultivators began to tremble.
"What kind of weapon is this!?" Chang Yun asked in shock.
She had only seen this kind of murderous aura in that demon cultivator.
Lu Yuguan did not answer her question, but slowly moved his hand to his face.
"No more pretending, I'm going to show my hand."
In order to prevent the props from being damaged, Lu Yuguan took off the Thousand Machine Ice Silkworm Veil on his face, and his handsome male face suddenly appeared in front of everyone, instantly igniting the entire audience.
"Isn't it a female? How did it become a male?!"
"She's so pretty, I love her so much!"
"Just tell me earlier, I'll give you 10,000 taels, don't fight with me!"
"Fuck you! You're so old and still trying to steal a man! I was the one who fell in love with this little guy first. I'll give you 20,000 taels!"
……
The deer-horned demon cultivator stared at Lu Yuguan's face and licked his lips excitedly.
"He's actually a man in the Half-Step Golden Core Stage?"
"I'm going to get this guy!"
