Hong Yue Meng

Hong Yue Tian was relieved and happy by his son's return. To the whole family, Hong Yue Xian spent most of the month cultivating, but to Hong Yue Tian who knew that his son left, the days were not worry free. He immediately 'interrogated' his son about his journey, only to be given a mysterious smile, which made him smack Hong Yue Xian on the back of the head.

"Father, that hurts." Complained Hong Yue Xian as he rubbed the back of his head, but seeing his father eager to hit him again, he hurriedly explained. "I can't tell you about my trip, so please don't ask, it is better this way. The reason for all the secrecy is this." He placed an essence pellet in front of his father.

"What is this?" Inquired Hong Yue Tian as he examined it curiously. "This is an essence pellet and it can help your cultivation to break through to Black Gold rank in a couple of hours." Replied Hong Yue Xian. His words almost giving his father a heart attack.

"What? Impossible! How could..." Hong Yue Tian stammered, gasping for breath, as he tried to construct proper sentences. Hong Yue Xian waited for his father to gain some composure before putting the pellet in his hand. "Trust me, father. Inject your soul force inside and refine it. I will stand guard for you." Hong Yue Tian was still doubtful but seeing his son's firm look he decided to give it a shot and sat cross legged before beginning to cultivate.

It took more than two hours, Hong Yue Tian was drenched in sweat, when suddenly there was a shattering sound and an aura of a Black Gold rank expert exploded from his body. Hong Yue Tian opened his eyes in astonishment. He still could not believe that a ridge he could not overcome for ten years was solved in a couple of hours by a small pellet. He unconsciously started to think to his youth, of how he dreamed to achieve Black Gold rank and make the Hong Yue Family the fourth Major Family of Glory City. His eyes got all misty as he could finally fulfil that dream.

Hong Yue Xian saw his father still in a daze from his breakthrough and gave his shoulder a shake. Once his father focused his eyes on him, he warned him. "Father, congratulations on your breakthrough. I realise you have a lot of questions but please don't ask. I do not wish to lie to you. Also you can announce your breakthrough if you wish, but I would suggest to keep it a secret for now. We can always reveal it later if the need arises. Of course if you do reveal it, please keep quiet about the pellet. Here, I have prepared a Legend rank demon spirit for you to integrate. With it you will be able to cultivate twice as fast." Hong Yue Xian passed his father a demon spirit crystal and after ensuring that his father understood, left the room.

Hong Yue Tian watched his son's back before glancing at the Legend rank demon spirit in his hands. He found his son becoming ever more mysterious and secretive. He had countless questions, but he also understood that the pellet and the demon spirit were both things that could bring disaster to them, so he decided to believe his son, hoping he knew what he was doing. He sighed helplessly and turned his attention to the demon spirit in hand, as anticipation flashed in his eyes. He closed his eyes again and cultivated.

As Hong Yue Xian retuned to his courtyard, he sat in contemplation. He was gone for a month but his body grew so much. He was a head taller now and his body became burlier with clearly defined muscles.

Shockingly he also discovered his rod grew as well. If before it was average with hope of growing more, now it was bigger than most adults. Hong Yue Xian did not wish to contemplate whether it will grow further in the future. He spent the rest of the day pondering on the cause.

Soon the day of the yearly Hong Yue auction arrived. Many families came to participate, even the Major Families were expected to make an appearance. The auction house was full to the brim with people, the atmosphere was charged with competition and excitement.

As the son of the patriarch and the host of the auction Hong Yue Xian was charged with welcoming honoured guests. Even though he was not keen on it, he still greeted them amicably and led them to their seats, among them was Nie Li and the Heavenly Marks Family. Hong Yue Xian knew most of the things would be bought by Nie Li so he was not really interested in the auction itself.

The only thing that caught him by surprise was the beautiful and sexy auctioneer. He asked about her and it turned out her name was Hong Yue Meng, the daughter of the First Elder and therefore his cousin. The First Elder was in charge of the auction, while she was the head auctioneer. She was 16 years old and a Silver rank Demon Spiritualist. She had raven black waist long hair that she tied into twin ponytails, making her look lovely and cute, yet flirtatious at the same time.

Her business skills aside, just the sight of her in that impossibly short, unbelievably tight and deliciously revealing red dress, if it could be called that, was enough to drive the crowd mad with desire. The fabric was like second skin, accentuating her fit body and highlighting her abundant assets. Hong Yue Xian was certain that if she was put on auction, it would incite a bidding war Glory City had never seen, the final bid leaving the nightmare demon pot in the dust.

Hong Yue Xian watched Hong Yue Meng performing on the stage: shaking her hips, winking, blowing kisses, constantly bending and twisting her waist, while showcasing her plump breasts. As he wiped some drool from the corner of his lips, he shamelessly thought. 'It seems like I was too distant from my family recently, that won't do. I should rectify that straight away and spend more time at the family home. Maybe help out with the auction. That is the right thing to do.'

After the auction had gone for a few hours, it was finally time for the last treasure. The moment Hong Yue Meng announced it, the doors to the auction opened and many big shots came in. Among them were the three Major Families, the Alchemist Association and the top ten Merchant Houses.
