The auction continued.
The men in the venue were all stirred up by the woman in formal dress, howling and begging for just a smile from the beauty.
Because of these inexperienced bumpkins, Qin Yichen had to expend great effort to secure the few medicinal herbs he wanted.
However, there was still no sign of the Earth Flame Green Fruit.
This left Qin Yichen somewhat disappointed, but just as he was about to leave this noisy scene, a voice from a nearby VIP room made his body suddenly tremble.
In that instant, his whole being could not stop shaking.
He quickly walked out and knocked on the door of the neighbouring VIP room.
His rash behaviour not only caught Chen Feng off guard but also quieted the people in that VIP room. After a moment, the door was opened by a guard.
Scanning the scene inside, Qin Yichen’s gaze fell directly on that graceful silhouette.
Though it was just a back view, he could still be certain.
[It’s her!]
It was this very person who haunted his dreams. It was also she who awakened him when his heart was like wood and grass, letting him feel again what… emotions were.
In his previous life, after losing his Family, Qin Yichen had thought his heart had turned to stone, and he would never feel emotion again, would never be moved again, would never shed a tear for anyone again.
But when he saw her lying in a pool of blood, struggling to reach for his face at that moment, his heart was touched.
It was she who let Qin Yichen know that in this world, there truly was love that could be deeply engraved in one’s heart and bones.
It was she who let Qin Yichen feel the most sincere care in this world.
It was she who gave Qin Yichen a new life.
She was… Feng Qianxue.
[Why is she here?] Qin Yichen did not know, but just hearing her voice made all his self-control vanish into nothing.
Qin Yichen only knew he had to see her!
He wanted to rush in but was blocked by the guard, and a powerful aura that he could barely resist directly locked onto him, making Qin Yichen regain his senses.
He suddenly remembered Feng Qianxue’s identity – she was the Daughter of the Feng Family.
The Feng Family… to his current self, what an unreachable existence that was.
Perhaps feeling his unusually intense gaze, that graceful figure suddenly turned around…
She wore a cream-coloured long dress, seeming to carry a layer of white halo. Her jade face wore not a trace of makeup yet remained snow-white and crystalline. Her eyes were like autumn waters, mesmerizingly bright. Her jade nose and cherry lips seemed carved by Heaven’s masterful hand, beautiful enough to take one’s breath away.
Most enchanting was that downward glance and smile, A thousand charms playing at her brow.
Her fragrant cheeks were ice-pure, untouched by rouge or powder. Her cloud-like hair dipped in ink, black tresses like a waterfall around the jade hairpin. Her slender fingers were like orchids with bone-deep fragrance, Her gazing eyes like water cutting through heart’s worries.
Finally, she turned her gaze to Qin Yichen. Her small mouth moved, crimson lips trembling slightly, forming a beautiful arc. That peerless face was like a spring river, stirred by gentle winds, or like layers of night-blooming cereus. They carry a touch of shyness and some unnaturalness, Soul-stirring like watching ice melt in an instant. Fresh and natural, pure yet striking to the heart, making others willing to sink into them from the first glance.
“Xue’er…” Qin Yichen called out uncontrollably, his eyes revealing undissolvable feelings.
In his previous life, even with a heart harder than stone, he was melted by this woman before him. How much more now – naturally he could not control his emotions, completely revealing them.
However, his behaviour, in Feng Qianxue’s eyes, was very rude, making her slightly furrow her brows. That kind of gaze made her feel as if she had no privacy before Qin Yichen.
“Brother Haotian, do you know this person?” A pleasant voice clearly carrying some displeasure came from Feng Qianxue’s naturally red small mouth.
She was not speaking to Qin Yichen at the door, but to the man beside her.
That man could be called handsome, his face like a sculpture, features clear and defined. His dark deep eyes occasionally revealed flashes of light that captured one’s Soul.
Like Feng Qianxue, he wore white clothes, highlighting his jade-like bearing.
The two standing together truly gave the feeling of a Heavenly couple.
But when Qin Yichen heard that name, he suddenly shifted his gaze to that man’s face. Instantly, murderous intent rose from his heart, almost shooting from his eyes. Fortunately, with his previous life’s self-control, he quickly closed his eyes, covering up his killing intent.
Even so, his whole being’s aura appeared extremely violent, like a volcano ready to erupt.
He had never hated anyone so much, not even the An Family or previously Du Junxiong – his hatred for them did not even reach one-hundredth of what he felt now.
He could never forget how Feng Qianxue died so tragically.
This man was called Ouyang Haotian.
The Ouyang Family was once also a top Family, but due to certain circumstances, they rapidly declined.
However, the Ouyang Family and Feng Family were old friends, and Ouyang Haotian and Feng Qianxue were childhood sweethearts. The two Family were quietly trying to match them.
Although the Ouyang Family had declined, Ouyang Haotian’s talent could not be ignored even by the Feng Family.
Moreover, since the two Families were old friends and the Feng Family intended to help the Ouyang Family, matters between Ouyang Haotian and Feng Qianxue naturally developed smoothly.
But the truth was not the case. Ouyang Haotian had always been using Feng Qianxue, using the Feng Family!
He was not as sunny as he appeared on the surface. On the contrary, his heart was extremely dark, twisted even.
It was said that in his youth during training, because he was as beautiful as a woman, he suffered some unforgettable things at the hands of some strong men. Afterward, he personally dismembered those men one by one.
How could someone who had experienced such things be normal, how could they like women?
On the contrary, perhaps as he himself said in the previous life, when Feng Qianxue was by his side, he felt disgusted, even nauseous, to the extent that later, to strengthen himself, he harmed Feng Qianxue and took her Fire Phoenix Martial Soul.
Feng Qianxue was just his pivot for using the Feng Family.
But looking at the current situation, Feng Qianxue seemed to very much depend on and trust him. Even if Qin Yichen told her everything, Feng Qianxue would believe him; on the contrary, it might backfire.
So, when closing his eyes, Qin Yichen kept thinking about how to make Feng Qianxue trust him.
[Right, the Earth Flame Green Fruit!] Qin Yichen seemed to understand why he could not acquire an Earth Flame Green Fruit.
