At this moment, the vast auction hall, with its thousands of attendees, fell into a deathly silence. Not a single person dared to break the spell as they witnessed this reunion of long-separated lovers. Countless young men and women watched with envious gazes; their eyes locked upon the pair of lovers entwined in mid-air.
After a long while, Feng Qianxue, who seemed like a celestial fairy, finally regained her composure after releasing her pent-up emotions. Her delicate face immediately flushed crimson with embarrassment as she slid down from Qin Yichen’s embrace.
Her exquisite face was entirely covered in a bashful rosy hue. She would smile, then feel shy, wanting to say something, yet forgetting what she intended to say the moment she was about to speak.
Finally, Feng Qianxue stamped her small foot in slight frustration, covering her face with her small hands as she fled like an escaping bird towards the top-floor room.
Seeing this, Qin Yichen smiled warmly. Holding the Fire Phoenix whip he had won for her, he followed after her.
“Heavens… It’s Qin Yichen, it’s really him!”
“I knew it! Who else would dare compete with Ye Liangchen for something? So it was him…”
“Qin Yichen… Is that really Qin Yichen?”
“My goodness, I’ve actually seen the figure of legends! This trip wasn’t in vain, not in vain at all…”
As Qin Yichen and Feng Qianxue’s figures disappeared from everyone’s sight, only then did the crowd finally recover their senses. Immediately, cries of astonishment rose continuously throughout the auction hall like cascading waves.
In the Six Imperial Dynasties, perhaps some might not know the name of the Imperial Dynasty’s ruler, but Qin Yichen’s name was absolutely known to all. It has become a household name!
Whether it was the sensation he caused in the Dao of Crystal Appraisal, or his dazzling performance at the Alchemy Manor Summit where he overwhelmed all rivals, or the powerful rise of the Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce…
All of this made the three words ‘Qin Yichen’ a household name, transforming him into the most brilliant rising star across the Six Imperial Dynasties! Countless young maidens dreamed of meeting him someday, while countless young men viewed him as their lifelong goal!
However, the person in question cared not a bit for any of this. At this moment, his heart and mind were entirely focused upon the beautiful figure before his eyes.
In just a few months since they’d last met, Feng Qianxue had truly undergone considerable changes.
She had grown noticeably taller, and the graceful figure of a young maiden was beginning to reveal itself. Previously, when Feng Qianxue had thrown herself into his embrace like this, he’d felt only pure happiness. But now, he actually sensed an unusual soft sensation that sent currents through his entire body like electricity.
Her exquisite figure, cloud-like hair, tender skin, stunning countenance…
Gazing at this scene, Qin Yichen chuckled softly. He stepped forward and gently removed the small hands covering Feng Qianxue’s face, saying, “Let me look, let me look…”
But Feng Qianxue refused to let go, stubbornly keeping her hands in place. Through the gaps between her fingers, one could vaguely see that the crimson flush on her face had not only failed to fade, even her ears had begun to turn red.
“I won’t let you look; I won’t let you look. You’ll laugh at me…”
Feng Qianxue’s head swayed lightly as those words emerged like delicate silk threads.
Seeing this, everyone in the room wore smiles at the corners of their mouths. Shu Ruyan’s beautiful eyes were filled with affection as she gazed silently at Qin Yichen. It seemed that merely seeing this man filled her with contentment, even though he wasn’t doting on her.
“I promise I won’t laugh!” Qin Yichen declared with a solemn voice.
Hearing this, Feng Qianxue finally opened a tiny crack, only to see Qin Yichen grinning broadly with delight. Her small mouth immediately pouted as she chided, “You said you wouldn’t laugh…”
Then she covered her little face again. It seemed that whenever she recalled that scene of throwing herself down from above under the gaze of countless people, she felt a surge of sweet, shy emotion.
The auction continued for who knew how long. However, when it ended, Ye Liangchen and the others quietly withdrew without disturbing the couple.
When only Qin Yichen and his companion remained in the room, Feng Qianxue finally cautiously lowered her small hands and nestled against Qin Yichen’s chest.
At this moment, tear tracks still lingered at the corners of her eyes, but her lips had already bloomed into the sweetest, most blissful smile.
Gazing at Feng Qianxue’s small-bird-like dependence, Qin Yichen’s heart stirred. Without realizing it, he leaned in and kissed those delicate lips.
Hot lips carrying a taste that intoxicated her descended. Feng Qianxue froze for a moment, then her beautiful eyes slowly closed as her small mouth unconsciously met his.
For a time, the room was suffused with a sweet atmosphere.
After a long while, the pair of hot lips reluctantly parted. A sweet thread of saliva hung between them as Feng Qianxue’s small face once again flushed crimson. However, this time she didn’t try to cover it up, instead blissfully leaning against Qin Yichen.
“Brother Yichen…”
Feng Qianxue’s small hands tightly embraced Qin Yichen, as if fearing this was merely a dream, that if she loosened her grip even slightly, he would vanish.
“Qianxue, I won’t be separated from you again…”
Qin Yichen smiled, grasping those tightly clenched small hands as he declared with oath-like firmness.
Hearing Qin Yichen say this, Feng Qianxue’s beautiful eyes once again brimmed with crystalline tears. In her gaze resided satisfaction, trust and so much more…
…
When Feng Qianxue walked out of the Soaring Joy Auction House with her arm linked through Qin Yichen’s, the sky had already grown somewhat dim.
From a distance, they could see the street ahead packed with crowds.
At the very front stood a group from the Heavenly Dragon Royal Family led by Long Zexiao. Beside them, the Shen Family, Qian Family, and other influential Forces within the Imperial Dynasty had all, without exception, sent people of substantial standing to wait here.
Their gazes carried excited, anxious anticipation as they looked towards the auction house. Even though they’d been waiting for two hours, not a trace of impatience showed in their expressions.
The current Qin Yichen was different from the Qin Yichen of before.
Previously, they had been wary of the Feng Family so they showed courtesy to Qin Yichen and the Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce. But now, it was because of Qin Yichen himself!
Because Qin Yichen had been selected by the Brilliant Sky Sacred Land, the Six Imperial Dynasties, including the Feng Family, had all received vast resources beyond their imagination.
Moreover, Qin Yichen’s status had changed.
He was now a person of a Sacred Land. To the people of the Imperial Dynasties, this was equivalent to being a Sacred Envoy!
“Haha!…” As soon as Long Zexiao saw Qin Yichen appear, he strode forward with hearty laughter. When he reached Qin Yichen, a flash of peculiarity crossed his eyes.
He couldn’t understand why this youth, who was merely at the Early Stage Martial Emperor Realm, gave him an inexplicable sense of danger.
One had to know, he was a Late Stage Martial Emperor who had weathered countless battlefields. He was not someone any ordinary Late Stage Martial Emperor could compare with.
Yet his instincts told him that the youth before him was dangerous!
