Chapter 117: Little Demoness: Only I Have the Right to Take the Initiative!
“This light is surprisingly powerful!”
Mu Ran Ya was shocked; she really only took a gentle bite as if acting cute, but she didn’t expect it to cause such great harm.
“Be good, Master will help you touch your wound, just a little touch and it won’t hurt anymore…”
Mu Ran Ya said with guilt, her face full of heartache.
“Do you take me for a child?!”
Zhou Tong was furious and abruptly pulled his hand back.
He had walked through mountains of knives and seas of fire countless times; how could he care about such a small wound?
“But in front of Master, you’re just a child!”
Mu Ran Ya said with a mischievous smile, leaving Zhou Tong feeling helpless.
This woman was definitely seeking revenge, retaliating for him saying she was like a child before.
At that moment, a radiant multicolored light intertwined around Mu Ran Ya, forming a cocoon of light that enveloped her.
“Master, you just gained this divine talent and cannot fully control it yet. You must harness this power in the shortest time possible.”
Zhou Tong said with a serious expression.
“No problem, believe in me.”
Through the transparent light cocoon, Mu Ran Ya looked determined.
“Alright, before you fully master the Glazed Divine Light, just stay in this cabinet made of Hell Gold. No one will disturb you.”
As he finished speaking, Zhou Tong stepped out of the cabinet, locking eyes with the Little Demoness.
The Little Demoness was like a curious baby, her gaze sweeping from top to bottom, not letting go of any details.
When she spotted the bite mark on Zhou Tong’s hand, a look of disdain immediately crossed her face.
“If I say this is part of the treatment… would you believe me?” Zhou Tong said awkwardly.
Without saying a word, the Little Demoness grabbed his hand and bit down hard.
“I believe… so I will also treat you well, for being such a fickle-hearted fool!”
The girl gritted her teeth, leaving Zhou Tong feeling utterly helpless.
Now he had another mark on his hand.
“How is the auction proceeding?” Zhou Tong suddenly asked with seriousness.
“It’s nearing the end; the main event is about to unfold,” said the Little Demoness.
“Hope it doesn’t disappoint.”
Zhou Tong took a seat, his spiritual power radiating out to monitor every corner.
According to the Heavenly Dao Mansion’s promotion, the final auction item was the Yin-Yang Body, but Zhang Chuqiao had already been rescued. Without that sensational appeal, how would Zhao Wutian explain it to the crowd?
At that moment, an extremely excited voice of a servant rang out.
“Everyone… the moment that everyone has been waiting for has finally arrived! Let us welcome the ultimate treasure!”
As soon as the words fell, the crowd erupted in excitement.
Even those lofty and powerful beings, usually aloof, couldn’t contain themselves, rubbing their fists and staring eagerly.
“Less talk, we’ve been waiting for this time, quickly present the Yin-Yang Body!”
Someone shouted impatiently, as if ready to fight at the slightest disagreement.
“Then I won’t keep you in suspense any longer; please enjoy!”
Suddenly, a tremendous noise erupted, as if a door had been opened somewhere, followed by a surge of chilling air.
Those nearby couldn’t help but shiver as four burly men carried a block of ice, within which a maiden was sealed!
“Boom!”
As the ice crystal was lifted onto the platform, it emitted an extremely strong fluctuation.
The air was filled with Yin-Yang energy!
Zhou Tong was taken aback, leaping up from his seat.
This aura was almost identical to Zhang Chuqiao’s, as if they were carved from the same mold.
“Could it be another Yin-Yang Body?”
Zhou Tong muttered to himself, then shook his head in denial.
That was impossible; such a defiant physique could not exist in the entire Heavenly Dao system. There could only be one unless one perished and another was born after countless millennia!
“What a beautiful woman; is this the legendary Yin-Yang Body? To see her today is truly a gain!”
Looking at the girl encased in ice, someone said dreamily, as if their soul had been captured.
More people were staring greedily at the high platform, eyes unwavering.
This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
If they could get the Yin-Yang Body and cultivate together, they would surely become peak warriors in the future.
Zhou Tong furrowed his brow, his spiritual power piercing through obstacles, reaching towards the girl in the ice.
In an instant, he felt a pain in his forehead and quickly withdrew his spiritual power.
“Now I see!” he realized.
This girl was not human nor even a living being, but a strand of primal Yin-Yang energy.
At the beginning of the universe, when chaos fractured and formed all things, this strand of Yin-Yang energy was born during the creation of heaven and earth, deemed an invaluable treasure.
Unfortunately, it was still shrouded in a layer of Chaos Malevolence; anyone who dared to touch it would be backlashed and turned into a dried corpse.
Zhao Wutian brought this out for auction, clearly intending to use others’ lives to exhaust the Chaos Malevolence while reaping the benefits himself.
No wonder he felt no heartache when he returned Zhang Chuqiao to Zhou Tong; it turned out he had already found a substitute.
If he could fully absorb this primal Yin-Yang energy, it might not be impossible for him to break through his limits and become a Yin-Yang Body himself!
In a flash of thought, Zhou Tong became animated.
“If Senior Apprentice Sister could refine this energy, wouldn’t that mean she could soar right then and there?”
“Are you planning to bid?” The Little Demoness saw through his thoughts, her eyes sparkling with a smile.
“With our River and Mountain Seal, we can mobilize billions of Spiritual Stones. I believe no one can compete with us.”
“There’s no need.”
Zhou Tong decisively denied, “No one can hold this block of ice; it will ultimately return to Zhao Wutian’s hands. We’ll just snatch it directly from him when that time comes!”
“Hmph… that Empress is really clever, finding you as her worry-free ally; she must be waking up laughing in her dreams.”
“You! When you’re happy, you just have to poke fun at me, truly unreasonable!”
Zhou Tong’s face revealed a smile.
“What? Are you unconvinced?”
The Little Demoness said with a proud expression, pouting her lips as if to say, ‘Come on, charm me.’
Zhou Tong naturally wouldn’t hold back, stepping forward and planting a kiss on her cheek.
“Ah!”
The Little Demoness exclaimed, startled like a frightened rabbit, hurriedly jumping back.
“You… you dare…”
“This is just a warning; if you dare to show that attitude in front of me again, I’ll consider it an invitation!”
After harshly threatening her, Zhou Tong felt quite pleased.
“What a little rascal! You can’t stop me!”
“Unthinkable! It’s clearly only I who can take the initiative!”
The Little Demoness was enraged. Just as she was preparing to retaliate, the old man on the high platform spoke again.
“This final treasure is priceless, so it cannot be auctioned with Spiritual Stones…”
“Stop beating around the bush; what do we use then? Surely it’s not a treasure swap?”
“Of course not…”
A harsh glint flashed in the old man’s eyes as he said, “For this treasure, our auction will not charge any fees. Whoever can snatch it away, it belongs to them!”
As soon as this was said, the auction fell silent.
“What… do you mean?” someone gasped, uncertain of what to ask.
“Don’t you understand? Truly dull… such a precious treasure only strong warriors are worthy to possess; the weak have no right to lay their hands on it!”
“Boom!!”
As soon as the words fell, a terrifying aura erupted into the sky. Had it not been for the Great Formation suppressing things, the entire auction would have already been blown away.
Among these auras, there were nearly ten semi-sage level powerhouses, not to mention the Cycle Realm warriors, easily numbering over a hundred, all blinded by their own auras.
“The Yin-Yang Body is mine!”
A Cycle Realm warrior suddenly went mad and charged towards the high platform. Before he got close, he had been reduced to pieces by everyone working together!
Zhou Tong’s pupils constricted as he discerned Zhao Wutian’s intention.
To activate the Array of Lively Stillness, a sufficient offering must be provided.
He inciting the crowd to fight was a sign that the great formation was about to open!
