Transmigrated as the Destined Villain, My Senior Brothers Are Chasing After My Love Chapter 45

Chapter 45: The Heart Demon Breaking Spirit Bead

“Everyone, don’t be impatient.”

As the woman spoke, she flicked her sleeve. The cylindrical floor beside her opened up, and a large object covered in red cloth rose from within.

Before the red cloth was even lifted, everyone was already excited.

Li Jing guessed, “Could it be some kind of spirit beast?”

He said to Luo Wuhen, “Little Martial Uncle, if it really is a spirit beast and I like it, lend me some money.”

As the red cloth was lifted, a fluffy tail was revealed in the corner of the iron cage. Li Jing hurriedly started to speak, “Lend me money…”

The voices in their room vanished. The voices below also vanished. Subsequently, everyone had different expressions, gasping in unison. The words in Li Jing’s mouth got stuck, and he finally swallowed them back down.

“Do you still want to buy it?” Lin Qingyue asked.

Chained inside the iron cage was a stunning beauty. A beauty whose gender was indistinguishable, a half-demon, half-human with exquisite features, sporting a beast tail and ears.

This was the first time since entering that it had been so silent.

The woman was very satisfied with everyone’s reaction. “Everyone, this isn’t an ordinary furnace. He can allow everyone to…”

She stopped halfway, her expression conveying the implication clearly to everyone.

“That isn’t even the most satisfying part. The most satisfying part is that he can aid in cultivation breakthroughs. Not only that, but he can also grant eternal youth, or even reverse aging.”

With every sentence she spoke, everyone’s eyes grew a fraction crazier. Some were even impatient to rush forward.

The people in the private rooms, who had been quiet previously, no longer pretended to be mysterious or aloof. They were all interested in this half-human, half-beast furnace.

Those who hadn’t participated much in the bidding before now waved their hands, spending lavishly, each one determined to win.

Watching this absurd scene, the expressions of the group were not good.

“It’s just a half-human, half-beast. Is he worth fighting over? Don’t they find it dirty?” Li Jing’s face was ugly. Especially seeing their expressions, the disgust on his face became even more obvious.

It was unclear whether this disgust was directed at the auction item, those people, or all of them.

Lin Qingyue took in the expression on his face and simply asked, “Do you guys want to save him?”

“Why save him?” Li Jing asked back.

Luo Wuhen called out his name, his tone warning him to watch his words.

Sensing the seriousness in his tone, Li Jing stopped speaking.

Lin Qingyue cast his gaze on Ye Jingxian, his eyes revealing no emotion.

Ye Jingxian didn’t speak up to interrupt the bidding below, nor did he make a bid.

Withdrawing his gaze, Lin Qingyue looked at the androgynous man in the iron cage, watching his weak, slight struggles as he was stared at by a pile of evil gazes.

He hung his head, making it impossible to see the look in his eyes, but his hands gripped the bottom of the iron cage tightly.

“Don’t keep your head down. Lift it up and let everyone get a good look.”

The woman used a rod to gently lift his chin, forcing him to look up at everyone.

What kind of look was that? It wasn’t the lifeless, dead look they expected. Instead, it was a pitiful appearance, pitiful yet mixed with ignorant innocence.

Their gazes met through the opaque window screen. Lin Qingyue saw a flash of shrewdness pass through his eyes before slowly looking away.

He sighed inwardly. How did I become duller after changing bodies?

Seeing the time was right, Luo Wuhen made a move to buy the person, but someone refused to give up and bid against him.

The price got too high, and Luo Wuhen ultimately gave up. Li Jing didn’t understand him; he thought his uncle wanted to buy it too.

“Little Martial Uncle, you’re already so strong, yet you still think about taking shortcuts.”

Luo Wuhen: “Just to save a person.”

Li Jing: “Then you…”

“Not enough money,” Luo Wuhen said.

Ye Jingxian looked at him and suggested, “When we leave later, we can chase after them and release him.”

Hearing this, Lin Qingyue turned his head to look at him. This must be his real thought. Perhaps he planned this from the start.

Realizing once again that this Eldest Senior Brother was different from what he thought and saw, Lin Qingyue went from initial surprise to speechlessness, and now, he only felt: As expected.

In this short time, every side he had seen didn’t quite look like Ye Jingxian.

He said, “Eldest Senior Brother, aren’t we here to investigate something? If we disrupt their auction like this, it won’t be easy to leave later.”

Luo Wuhen: “What you say makes sense. There are people here who prefer not to show their faces. They wouldn’t want us to discover them, so there’s no need to worry about not being able to leave.”

Lin Qingyue thought for a moment and said, “That half-demon doesn’t seem that simple.”

The three of them stared at him. Lin Qingyue smiled and pointed at the person in the iron cage. “He doesn’t look like someone weak and unwilling to fight back. I saw his eyes earlier.”

Not only that, he was also very calculating.

So Lin Qingyue’s meaning was: It’s better not to get involved.

Cause and effect—the person who bought him should consider what kind of counterattack they would face when trampling on someone like that, and what consequences they would bear.

“So, let’s not be busybodies.”

Ye Jingxian: “If that’s truly the case, we should help him even more.”

Lin Qingyue complained internally. Help or not, I don’t know. I’m just afraid you’ll stop that half-demon from killing people.

Seeing that no one adopted his suggestion, Lin Qingyue stopped speaking.

In the end, the half-demon furnace was won by the people in the private room diagonally opposite them. The climax of the entire auction had arrived.

The so-called treasure to break Heart Demons was about to appear.

The woman on stage smiled and stretched her legs, changing her posture. “This final item is exactly what everyone is thinking of.”

“This is a treasure we obtained with great difficulty. The starting price isn’t low! Everyone should make sure you have enough spirit stones before bidding.”

She scanned the room with smiling eyes, passing over everyone. Then, she injected spiritual power into the formation with one hand. After opening it, she took out a key and opened a puzzle box.

A water-blue ghostly light bloomed out, dazzling everyone’s eyes.

Inside was a Spirit Bead, abundant with spiritual power. Everyone present could feel its spiritual energy. At this moment, the purchased half-demon looked up at the Spirit Bead, his eyes full of longing.

“Hehehe!” A hoarse, aged voice laughed. A withered-looking man looked on with mockery in his eyes. “A mere furnace like you actually dares to want such a good thing.”

“It’s useless even if you get it. Be a good boy and come back with me.”

The half-demon lay prone on the ground, silent.

“Eldest Senior Brother, that box looks familiar.”

Lin Qingyue looked past the Spirit Bead at the dark patterns and markings on the puzzle box and spoke to Ye Jingxian.

Noticing his gaze, Ye Jingxian asked, “It feels familiar again? Do you remember it?”

However, he transmitted his voice: [You’ve seen it before?]
