Lady Mei

"You disrespecting Xu Long means disrespecting me, Xu Shaoze!"

His tone seems aggressive enough for the people of the branch family to back off. If Xu Long now has strong backing, even they cannot bully her anymore and the person who is Xu Long's backer is the grandson of the Patriarch! Even they don't dare to commit insubordination inside the Xu Manor.

Meeting the grandson means seeing the Patriarch itself and his words are the law in the entire East Capital.

Those who fail to follow his rules and regulation will have their entire family beheaded and become the eternal servant turning into a wraith that only follows the command of the Demon General.

On the other side, the eyes of Xu Long shook for a moment and her heart palpitated much faster than before then it regained its calm composure

'What is happening with me?'

Confused, Xu Long started inspecting her body in case there is something wrong only finding out that all is well. This confuses her even more. However, when she looks at Xu Shaoze, her heart beats so much as if she ran a thousand miles.

Xu Long knitted her delicate brows as she mutters in a low voice.

"Not possible."

...

Turning to look at Xu Long, Xu Shaoze saw the furrowed brows of his friend. According to him, this signifies anger, displeasure, or irritation towards a person. Shaoze concluded that Xu Long is angry at the crowd and doesn't want it to just let it off simply.

He then turned to look at the crowd with a grave face. His tone is cold as if the chilly north pole.

"It seems like there is no escaping for you guys."

The crowd was left speechless, their scalps tingling and sense of danger forbodes. They didn't know what to do. Some are panicking right now thinking on how to escape this unfortunate encounter. They didn't do anything on Xu Long though, they were just verbally mocking her and nothing more.

At this time, the eyes of Xu Dong Lu is darting everywhere clearly he was consumed by the pressure of death and is in a panic right now.

"Uhh... err... This is a misunderstanding! Young master, please spare me! I didn't do anything to her! I was just having a discussion with her nothing more... I promise!... Please let me off."

Step by step, Xu Shaoze move forward while cracking his fingers. At this moment, Xu Long snapped out of her own world. She held Shaoze's arm stopping him from advancing anymore. Puzzled, Shaoze turned to look at Xu Long clear round eyes.

"That's enough, Brother Ze. There is no need to waste our time with these imbeciles."

Veins popped in the head of the crowd. They were all incensed, however, even though they are furious they didn't voice it out in fear of provoking the little monster in front of them.

"Oh... Sure! I shouldn't waste my strength on these IMBECILES. It will hurt my hand too... Well, aren't you guys lucky? Hehe, Now get lost!"

"Yes...yes!"

The crowd hurriedly scram as if avoiding a plague. Once, they were in a distance they sighed in relief. Now, they know that no matter what they shouldn't provoke Xu Long anymore or else death only awaits.

"Let's go brother Ze, It's already time for the auction to begin!"

"Right... I wonder what should I buy?"

Leisurely, they walk in a distance chatting as usual as if nothing happened.

...

Inside a cleanly lit hall, a beautiful and slender lady sat in the chair in the middle cross-legged. Her exquisite legs are charming and alluring. Servants kneeling on the floor can't help but swallow a gulp of saliva. They were drooling on the sight of the magnificent legs.

The servants are like a pack of hungry wolves ready to pounce on the girl however, they regain clarity after some time passes.

Fear bubbled inside every servant's heart. Cold sweat started pouring on their backs and shiver on their thoughts. If ever they really pounced on the girl, before they can lick the piece of meaty legs of the girl, their heads would separate from their body before they knew what's happening.

At this moment, the girl is sitting leisurely drinking a cup of fermented wine. The cup she uses to drink is a transparent cup made by the famous glass smith Taiyuan. The delicateness of the cup is what made it famous to nobles in the empires. However, this type of cup is so expensive that it will cost you a fortune just to get one.

This is proof that the girl before them is a nouveau riche. Even powerful nobles bow before her when they see her.

"Lady Mei, are you really going to auction that item? That is a treasure! We can't just let others profit on our hard work."

Moving her glass cup, Lady Mei took a side glance on the person who spoke earlier. Her blue eyes were mesmerizing as if a vast and boundless ocean. The servants couldn't help but be dazed in the face of these pair of eyes.

"Well, we can't use it anyway. It's better to sell it rather than make it a decoration. I also want to see who can wield that item that even we are helpless."

"It must be left behind by a diety! How else can we not wield such item! I bet even a soul formation old monsters will have a hard time taming such a wild weapon."

The servant on the left added calmly while he hung his head low. He seems like a personal servant who attends to its master under direct command.

"It is not that I fear on selling that item, It's just that will there be any who is willing to buy such an item?"

Lady Mei finished her cup of wine as she confirms her plans slowly. There is a servant kneeling beside Lady Mei while holding a tray. She put down the cup as she stands up on her seat.

"Well, If there is no one willing to buy the item here, we'll just move to the central capital to auction it. There, we can find an abundance of high ranking cultivators. I guess we can sell it to them."

Gracefully walking down on her throne-like chair, all the servants kneeling on the floor parted ways for her.

"I hope the East Capital won't disappoint me!"

A smirk can be seen on Lady Mei's delicate face. She then waves her sleeves walking on the exit of the hall following which is a number of loyal servants.

"Let's go, let's see who is the fated one that can wield that item!"
