‘What a bunch of rich people…. Back when I was at the Qing-Yun Sect, the number of people who could take out a hundred high-grade Spirit Stones wasn’t high at all….’Fang Xing sighed. This group of elites wasn’t composed of ordinary people; all of them had been fostered by their clans through the use of large amounts of resources. Each of them were pampered and lavishly treasured by their clan far, far more than he’d been….

　　When Fang Xing saw both of them offer a hundred high-grade Spirit Stones, he pointed to the words on the flag and smiled. “The rules are written very clearly in this beautiful handwriting: the highest bidder wins. A hundred high-grade Spirit Stones won’t be enough if both of you make the same offer. Whoever pays the higher price gets it!”

　　This left both of them surprised before the one on the left suddenly chimed in, “Brother, you first!”

　　The disciple on the right laughed and placed the Spirit Stones on Fang Xing’s small desk. “Now there’s no one bidding with me!”

　　“How dare you collude with each other!” Fang Xing angrily exclaimed. “Three hundred then. I’m not selling it for one Spirit Stone less!”

　　The other disciple was shocked by this and grew angry as well. “How can you just raise the price like that?”

　　“Well, I raised it. What are you going to do about it?”

　　As they began to argue, a high-pitched voice suddenly interrupted, “All of you, stop fighting. One hundred supreme-grade Spirit Stones; we will take it!”

　　Everyone looked behind them in amazement when they heard this, where they saw two blue-dressed men accompanying a little girl dressed in light yellow. The girl looked to be fourteen or fifteen years old, with an appearance that was beautiful, dainty, and affectionate. The two men around her were in their forties or fifties and had feminine faces without facial hair, with a rather frigid aura emanating from their bodies. Those who’d been in the way immediately moved quietly aside after sensing such malicious auras.

　　A number of people were also attracted by the extraordinary beauty of the girl and were unable to help but to look towards her. When the two blue-dressed men took notice, however, they’d release a loud grunt that caused the person looking to stumble backwards with a pale complexion as though they’d just been heavily wounded.

　　“Why has Princess Chu Ci come here?”

　　“The two beside her, aren’t they the Yin Servants that follow Prince Chu Huang?”

　　“Shhh, be quiet. They’re in the Foundation Stage; don’t provoke them….”

　　Those elite disciples who’d circled around Fang Xing’s little desk suddenly all moved away in unison, leaving a large open space.

　　The Yin Servant at the front walked right in front of Fang Xing’s small desk and casually threw down a storage sack with a grunt. “How many Black Ice Orders and formation-countering talismans do you have? Take them all out. There’s a hundred supreme-grade Spirit Stones here; that should be enough!”

　　Fang Xing settled his hand over the storage sack but didn’t take out any of the Black Ice Orders. Instead, he began to check out the Yin Servant with a great deal of interest, like an ordinary person seeing a spirit beast for the very first time.

　　The Yin Servant snarled at Fang Xing’s gaze. “Little kid, what are you looking at me for?” he coldly asked.

　　Fang Xing’s eyes brightened before he curiously asked, “You’re a eunuch?”

　　This left all of the surrounding disciples stunned.

　　This boy definitely came from a countryside place like the Bohai Kingdom—he simply didn’t know any rules at all! Who would directly ask a Yin Servant if they were a eunuch? Wasn’t that just seeking trouble?

　　The Yin Servant was immediately angered when he heard such a question. His gaze shot straight at Fang Xing as he sternly yelled, “Your rudeness—”

　　“Do you really have no dick?” Fang Xing excitedly interrupted while glancing between the Yin Servant’s legs.

　　Everyone’s hearts shuddered even further when they heard this. This boy wasn’t seeking trouble, he was seeking death !

　　This Yin Servant had been about to scold Fang Xing at first, but he was immediately enraged with Fang Xing’s second question. “You seek death!” The malicious aura around him began to move before snapping towards Fang Xing like an invisible whip.

　　Invisible and without a trace, this skill was sly and vicious to the core. It turned intent into a whip that could damage the internal organs directly, which was precisely the same thing the Yin Servants had done to wound any elite disciple who’d been staring at Princess Chu Ci earlier.

　　PAH !

　　Extremely furious now, Fang Xing slammed his hands against the desk and stood up. “Damn eunuch, how dare you sneak attack me!” The invisible whip of malice had already been quietly deflected by him, leaving him without a single speck of injury.

　　The Yin Servant was rather surprised by this, but he wasn’t able to tell for certain whether the cultivation level of the boy in front of him was incredibly powerful or if he’d just used some kind of spirit tool to fend it off. He reflexively formed a hand seal and raised his Foundation Stage power, causing the malicious aura around him to immediately coalesce into a physical form. It was like a black tidal wave surging in front of him, preparing to send out a dangerous attack at any given moment.

　　” Xiao An’zi ¹ , why let a little mutt rile you up so much?” the other Yin Servant behind the first asked in a monotone voice while giving Fang Xing a cold stare. “There are plenty of opportunities. Take the Black Ice Orders now; the princess desires to enter the caves right now!”

　　“Damn eunuch, who are you calling a little mutt?” Fang Xing immediately spat back

　　The other Yin Servant’s expression immediately changed as well.

　　Xiao An’zi hatefully responded, “Royal Servant Qiao, it looks like this person is determined to dig himself a grave!”

　　Fang Xing directly began to roll up his sleeves. “Two damned eunuchs, you want to fight a few rounds with your little grandpa?”

　　Both Yin Servants grew quiet while focusing their gazes on Fang Xing, each revealing a strong murderous intent. Everyone else nearby was able to feel this maliciousness as well, filling them with even more fear and making it so not a single one dared to make a sound.

　　“Royal Servant Qiao, Royal Servant An, please don’t fight here. This would violate Big Brother’s rules!” a soft voice suddenly called out. The beautiful princess Chu Ci had spoke up at last.

　　When they heard this, the two Yin Servants exchanged glances with each other. As though the decision had already been made, they stopped speaking and slowly walked back, while Princess Chu Ci walked to the front instead. “Would you be willing to sell your Black Ice Orders and formation-countering talismans to me?” she asked with a smile.

　　Fang Xing put away his provocations and looked at this little princess without restraint. “I will not!”

　　It was Princess Chu Ci’s turn to be surprised this time. “Why?” she asked in amazement.

　　“Because your brother is very annoying!”

　　Princess Chu Ci hadn’t expected him to mention her brother and was taken aback. As for the two Yin Servants standing behind the princess, they were infuriated once more. Yin Servant An took a step forward and yelled out, “Little mutt, I have held in my temper for so long, but how dare you insult His Highness! This crime is unforgivable!” The malicious aura around him had already condensed, and his frail and pale hand clawed its way towards Fang Xing.

　　Fang Xing just let out a cold laugh before suddenly sending out his palm in a clawing motion, causing a powerful and invisible force to form from nothing and extend out towards the dumbstruck Princess Chu Ci. It paused horizontally in front of her before grasping onto her neck while the other hand pressed against her waist. “Come on. If you dare make a move, I’ll make sure to strangle her first,” Fang Xing taunted while giving a cold smile to the Yin Servants.

　　The Yin Servants were both stunned and yelled out in unison.

　　“No…!”

　　“Let go of Princess Chu Ci!”

　　Fang Xing smirked. “Go and destroy your cultivations, you damn eunuchs. Once you’ve done so completely, I’ll let her go!”

　　The surrounding elites were also stunned as they watched the unbelievable scene in front of them. They were surprised at Fang Xing’s courage to dare provoke masters in the Foundation Stage from the Chu royal court, and they were also surprised by how dirty his methods were. To directly use Princess Chu Ci as a hostage to force the Yin Servants to destroy their own cultivation….

　　“Did this servant from the Myriad Beasts Sect grow up eating the guts of tigers?”

　　“Is he trying to get himself killed? Why is he daring to provoke people from the Chu royal court?”

　　In that instant, everyone was left surprised and frightened by what Fang Xing had done. Even the two Yin Servants were not unaffected, and their bodies shivered without either one of them daring to move. They were truly afraid that if anything were to happen to the little princess, what awaited them was likely a fate worse than death. The Chu royal court would directly grind their bones to ash, and even their souls would be completely destroyed.

　　The pair exchanged fearful glances as a sense of terror rose up within them. Did they truly have to destroy their own cultivation?

　　In the westernmost part of the Snowy Mountain’s Scripture Caves, an old servant was sitting atop a moss-covered stone. He was someone belonging to one of the Golden Cores, and he’d been sitting atop that stone without making a sound. He hadn’t even opened his eyes when Fang Xing and the two Yin Servants were about to come to blows, but it was at this moment that he finally opened his eyes a tiny amount and released a powerful force.

　　Fang Xing was surprised and turned to look at that old servant. “Late Foundation Stage?”

　　“No fighting allowed in front of the Scripture Caves!” the old servant sternly declared, his tone allowing for no dispute.

　　“Hehe, nope, no fighting. We were just playing!” Fang Xing hastily released Princess Chu Ci, even going so far as to dust some of the dirt from her clothes and comfort her. “No need to be scared. I simply wanted to scare these two damn eunuchs because they annoyed me. With you as beautiful as you are, how could I ever hurt you?”

　　Princess Chu Ci didn’t leave even after regaining her freedom and scowled at Fang Xing in anger.

　　Fang Xing reluctantly took out a Black Ice Order and shoved it into her hands. “You can consider this Black Ice Order a gift from me. Now, off you go!”

　　Princess Chu Ci still didn’t speak and simply glared at him.

　　Fang Xing touched his forehead for a moment before letting out a long sigh. He then placed a formation-countering talisman into her hands as well. “Is that enough?”

　　“Why did you take me hostage?” Princess Chu Ci suddenly stiffly asked.

　　“Wasn’t that just to scare those two damned eunuchs?”

　　Even the elites surrounding them were annoyed by such an answer. Why would anyone take the princess hostage just to scare two Yin Servants? And to give such a blatant lie in response to the question, too; how was this even remotely believable?

　　Princess Chu Ci became quiet for a while before suddenly asking, “Then why did you touch my bottom?”

　　All the elites were now extremely astonished, and all of their gazes pierced towards Fang Xing like sharp swords. Even the old servant sitting atop the mossy stone was taken aback and nearly fell headfirst from the stone.

　　Being stared at by so many people, Fang Xing’s face began to flush. “It looked rather perky, so I couldn’t help it…” he shyly responded.

　　“Disgusting!” Princess Chu Ci’s small, delicate face became flushed as well. If she didn’t have a status to uphold, she would have wanted to directly jump up and bite him!

　　Fang Xing, however, was rendered speechless. “All I did was touch it; it’s not like you lost anything. How about I let you touch me, too?”
