Chapter 106
Chapter 120 – Yearning for that sweet memory
Huang Yue Li was a bit startled, before a faint layer of anger appeared on her face.
"Lord Owner, if you take advantage of others, you are not a gentleman!"
As the man slowly neared her, the corners of his mouth s.h.i.+fted into a radiant arc, "This Lord has never said………..he was some gentleman."
He leaned forward and without leaving any part her pet.i.te body exposed, he enveloped her within his embrace. This was a very strong invasion of her privacy. In the blink of an eye, the only sound that could be heard was the man's steady breathing.
Those thin and perfect lips slightly pursed and almost within reach of Huang Yue Li's own.
Huang Yue Li withdrew subconsciously, but was firmly pressed down by a large hand unable to move her seat.
"You………what do you want?"
As a result of the man's close proximity, Huang Yue Li's voice was as light as a mosquito. He was so close that a simple small movement would immediately cause them to touch lips.
His eyes hanging down, he wantonly looked at Huang Yue Li's seven parts young and child-like face.
That little fox's usual confident face was in rare moment of panic. Entrancing and tickling his heart.
He huskily smirked: "Kiss this Lord…………your wish, this Lord will complete it for you………this transaction, isn't it very good?"
Huang Yue Li's eyes clouded and immediately made up her mind.
Looking to the side, she shot forward to give the man a light peck on the mouth.
What the Lord of Thousand Treasure Pavilion said was correct. A small kiss that could be exchanged for an extremely large profit, was not a business lacking in any way.
In her past life, before she had the chance to touch a man's finger, she was sent to the death row. Though this sort of frivolous affair was never experienced, she still heard of such events occurring.
Merely a kiss. It was nothing really. She could just treat it as a small dog's bite.
When the man suddenly felt a soft and tender beyond imagination touch, he was rooted to the ground. Those light lips, with that sweet and fresh mesmerising breath was all the more fascinating. Unfortunately it lasted merely for a breath. Before he could fully experience that feeling, it disappeared once again.
You want to deal with me like that? No way!
Sensing the little fox's intention to flee, he moved his caging hand from her shoulder to her waist. This forced a change in her trajectory, allowing her fall into his arms.
Immediately, he bowed his head and resolutely pressed his lips onto hers.
Unfortunately, before he could re-experience that wonderful feeling he yearned for, a searing bout of pain flooded from his neck.
Stopping his movements, the man did not dare look down.
He watched as the seemingly weak and innocent little fox display her sharp canines to display her exceptionally innocent laugh. While her pair of slender little hands tightly held a small dagger about fifteen centimetres long.
This dagger was obviously a very high level profound armament. It was as thin as b.u.t.terfly wing. And in particular angles, the blade would appear invisible; barely identifiable by the naked eye.
While the dagger's sharp edge was currently lying on his neck. This little thing unceremoniously used quite a lot force. The dagger had cut into his neck skin to allow a trail of bright red blood to flow down towards his collarbone.
Without the slightest bit of doubt, the man was certain that this little thing would ruthlessly server his windpipe if he were to make the tiniest of movements!
Huang Yue Li sweetly smiled: "Lord Owner, we agreed on one kiss. I have already given you that kiss, so how could you raise the arranged price like that? This business………should not done like this?"

Chapter 121 – Was it you who injured master?
The man leisurely lowered his eyes to the same level as those pair of crafty and large ones.
Meanwhile, the sharp dagger was still pressed on his throat, blood flowing incessantly.
However, his face did not reveal the slightest bit of fury. On the contrary, his eyes actually revealed abundant interest.
This little fox……….is too intelligent. She was completely aware of her influence over him. During the instance in which his guard was lowered, she took the opportunity to capture his weak point.
She was truly ruthless. Using his unwavering feelings against him.
Unfortunately, he just liked her various plots and crafty mind, coupled with that charming smile of hers. No matter how much or little blood he shed, he would still feel a sense of satisfaction.
Huang Yue Li on the other hand had taken all sorts of measures, afraid he would counterattack in a fit of fury. She truly did not expect the man to smile. That smile unknowingly caused her scalp to numb.
Biting her lip, she rolled her eyes at him."Why are you laughing? Do you think that I am really afraid of you? Let me tell you, killing person is a small thing for me. Stabbing you once is nothing!"
"Little thing, why are you treating this Lord so harshly?" The man continued to smile while retreating a few steps, "It's not like this Lord refused to help you. Furthermore, that was such a half-hearted kiss. Could you call that a kiss? When you are conducting business, you must be upright. Otherwise, wouldn't you be sorely lacking in sincerity?"
s.h.i.+fting her gaze around, Huang Yue Li raised her arrogant eyes. Speaking in an icy tone, she said: "This is just how I conduct my affairs. Once the products are taken out, they cannot be exchanged! Now hurry up and pay!"
"Tsk tsk!"
Shaking his head in a very exaggerated manner, the man suddenly poked out his tongue to lick the area she had just kissed. Soon after, he began to smack his lips as if he was attempting to recall the experience.
Those actions were just too ambiguous. When those actions were paired with his impeccably handsome lower face, it seemed all the more seductive and alluring.
If not for the fact that Huang Yue Li had met no small amount of peerless males, her face would have long turned red from those movements.
Quite pleased at himself, the man looked at her captivating face and smiled: "Your family's goods are so lacking and a bit rough. In the future, this Lord will properly teach you. This time……….I will let you off!"
As soon as he finished his comment, he called out: "Mo Qi!"
An expressionless guard, clothed in black armor walked in and gave his bow and salute.
"Master, please instruct!"
"Third Young Miss Bai has a task that needs your a.s.sistance. Go report to her for your orders!"
"………..This subordinate obeys!"
Walking towards the two people, he lifted his head. His eyes widened in surprise and nearly froze in place!
He, he, he…………what did he see?
On his Honorable Highness' neck was a trail of blood!
How could this be? With his Highness' cultivation, there should not be a single person capable of injuring a single hair of his. Just how did he sustain those wounds?
During this moment of shock, the bloodstained short dagger within Huang Yue Li's grasp entered Mo Qi's line of sight!
"It's you? You injured the master?"
He then put on a false facade of pondering and instantly struck out towards Huang Yue Li!
The violent profound qi instantly engulfed her.
Huang Yue Li didn't foresee Mo Qi's dramatic reaction. Adding on the fact that he was also a pract.i.tioner of the fourth stage, the Dan Profound Realm, the powerless Huang Yue Li was entirely suppressed by his power!
In that moment of time, not a single one of her movements were capable of coordinating with her thoughts.
Despite the countless methods her brain recalled that could counter Mo Qi's blow, her body was incapable of executing them! Even the simplest action of dodging was impossible.

Chapter 122 – Hitting is family,
However, Mo Qi's forceful blow was unable to land on Huang Yue Li.
When he was only three chi away from Huang Yue Li, an immense surge of power that was three times denser than Mo Qi's erupted. This surge of power flew out and sent him flying away heavily!
(Z: Chi is about ⅓ of a m or about a foot. Sorry I use metric so my ft may be wrong.)
Then the Lord Owner's frosty voice sounded: "Mo Qi, what are you doing? Such courage, or is it because you do not wish to continue living?"
Clutching his stomach, Mo Qi struggled to kneel.
"Master, you…………..this woman wounded you ah! With your esteemed and respected status, she dared……….dared……………."
Things became clear for Huang Yue Li. It seemed that this devoted personal guard could not bear to see his beloved Master suffer under the hands of this malicious female.
Stroking his neck, the bright red blood stained his fingers. The blood looked especially unpleasant when contrasted on his jade white fingers. Not uttering a single word, he turned his head to face Huang Yue Li; the corners of his mouth raised.
Sweeping her gaze over him, Huang Yue Li harrumphed emotionlessly: "What? Is your family's Master's ident.i.ty that honorable? He cannot even be touched? That's good then. As long your family's Master leaves as far as possible, never to appear infront of me, even if I wish to stab him, I would be unable to. Correct?"
The man's sword-like eyebrows suddenly raise up and he uttered a soft groan. His display portrayed his sudden spike in pain that could no longer be endured.
Nervous, Mo Qi nearly jumped out again, "Master…..you!"
But the man didn't even glance at him because his gaze was focused on Huang Yue Li. He then whined in an aggrieved and wronged tone: "Little thing, do you need to be this heartless? Relax, no matter what ident.i.ty this Lord has, he will not put on any airs infront of his madam. Definitely won't retaliate when hit, retort when scolded. If you wish to stab, you can stab as many times as you want!"
Her eyebrow raised, "Serious?"
Shaking the gloomy looking blade in her hands, it conveyed her intention to slice a few more times.
"Master!"
Mo Qi Nearly rushed over again. Unfortunately this time, he was was held back by the other guards who had rushed in from the ruckus heard earlier.
"What are you doing? Don't stop me! Can't you see that woman wishes to stab Master??"
"Geez! You blockhead, enough!" Mo Liu firmly held him down from behind, "Can you not see? Master was willingly stabbed by Young Miss Bai! Otherwise with Young Miss Bai's cultivation, how would she harm the Master? Let alone even raise her hand?"
(Z: Mo Qi's, Mo Liu name means Mo Seven, Mo Six. Do you guys prefer number name or just using the pinyin? Please comment below.)
"What nonsense are you saying? If Master is not a m.a.s.o.c.h.i.s.t, why would he be willing to be stabbed by others?"
Hastily Mo Liu covered up his mouth, "Sss.h.!.+ What nonsense? Do you wish to die?"
In fact, Mo Liu was also feeling quite bewildered inside. Although one could vaguely say that the Master's att.i.tude was done in order to wed this Young Miss Bai.
But what sort of status and ident.i.ty did their Master possess? The ideal spouse of numerous royal princesses and proud sect geniuses. Yet his personality remained frosty, proud and aloof; never putting on a false facade.
Why was this Young Miss Bai allowed to be indulged to this degree?
Following the Master these years, any threat or person who dared to question the authority of his Master were all turned into ashes within fire. Only this Third Young Miss Bai, to the extent of throwing her att.i.tude around randomly; even that could be overlooked. But now she also dared to point a knife to the Master's neck!
What was stranger was the fact the Master took it seriously. Incorrect, it was that he was treating it seriously, but it appeared that he quite enjoyed it…….
Under the strange gazes of his subordinates, the Lord Owner automatically leaned towards Huang Yue Li. He also purposefully pulled open his clothes to reveal those perfectly shaped pectoral muscles. White as jade with the muscle contours clearly seen.
"Come, slash here. This Lord's flesh belongs to you. Really didn't think ah. Little thing, your tastes were this heavy. But as the saying goes, hitting is family, scolding is love. Hitting and scolding is………."

Chapter 123 – No interest towards your body
"Is your head!"
Her face turned green.
When he spoke like that, it killed all her interest!
Otherwise, would she not state that she was both close and loved him? Things that came out of the man’s mouth, who know to what degrees would he twist them to?
Besides, she still had business to conduct.
Putting away the dagger, Huang Yue Li said: "I towards your……physical…….body…….have no interest! Hurry up and wear your clothes!"
Lazily, the man swaggered back into his seat, but refused to cover up his chest. He held no intention to wear his clothes properly.
Rolling her eyes, she continued to speak: "Your guards, how come they do not listen to you at all? Are you reliable? I am starting to think that cooperating with you was a huge mistake!"
The guards who heads were bowed down, all secretly drew in cold breath!
This Young Miss Bai's courage was not ordinary. Daring to talk with the master like so! Not only did she reprimand him, she also questioned the credibility of their master. This really………..
Even if the master was interested in her, he would not tolerate this right?
Contrary to their expectations, not a single trace of anger was seen. He replied lightly: "There is no need for disobedient guards to remain. Mo Qi, go to the Punishment Hall to receive your penance! Mo San, Mo s.h.i.+, go listen to what Young Miss Bai wants you to complete."
Mo Qi was quickly dragged out, while the other two guards walked over.
Witnessing the previous scene, all the guards came to one understanding. This pet.i.te and amicable looking Third Young Miss Bai was in fact, not someone easy to deal with!
More importantly, the Master's indulgence of her was virtually unlimited!
Although she did not have profound qi, possessed low strength, if you were to disrespect her, Mo Qi was their role model!
Therefore, Mo San and Mo s.h.i.+ prepared their minds many times. Unusually respectful, they walked to Huang Yue Li and gave her a formal salute.
Glancing at them, Huang Yue Li nodded with satisfaction.
"Ah, looks pretty good. Cultivation……….is also pa.s.sable. What I want you to do is very simple. Later I want you to help me spread some words……"
Expressionlessly, Mo San and Mo s.h.i.+ listened carefully. But when they heard what she wished to spread, they could not help but finally show a look of surprise.
Sitting to the side, the Lord Owner almost choked on his tea when heard her intentions. It took some time before he stopped coughing.
He shook his head and smiled: "Little thing, do you need to be so ruthless? If Prince Li Mo were to know how you were playing with him, I think he would be angered to death."
"Prince Li Mo?"
Head tilted in confusion, Huang Yue Li realised that it was the Crown Prince taboo name.
(Z: Taboo name is like the true name of royalty. In many cases, princes, princesses, emperors, empresses, etc would have a true name given to them at birth. But due to their statuses, only those of extremely high standing or status would be able to refer to them via those names. Usually these people would also possess various (2-6+) t.i.tles and other names to be referred to anyway.)
Because of this, she gave the man a second glance: "Look at what your saying. I did not steal, did not s.n.a.t.c.h, and did not send people beat him! Furthermore, it's not like I forced him. If he ate a loss, that is all voluntary, is it not? Do not casually wrong me!"
Man shook his head, laughing: "But you dug the pit……..so he has no choice but to jump down ah! You ah, really are too black hearted!
Huang Yue Li pursed her lips: "You flatter me too much. I am still far from reaching you!"
Then waving her had, she continued: "You two, what are you standing there blankly for? Seize the moment, or you will miss it!
Mo San and Mo s.h.i.+ rapidly exited.
Once they reached the door, they looked at each other and carefully wiped the cold sweat on their foreheads.
This Third Young Miss Bai's treachery is really comparable with their master. Too dreadful!
In the future, not matter what, they must not offend her!

Chapter 124 – Auction suspended
Meanwhile on the auction stage, Grandmaster Yan's demonstration had concluded.
Under the supervision of Grandmaster Yan, the profound armor displayed a result that was astounding. The spectators below the stage had all cried out in amazement.
Seeing that the time was just right, Manager Sun smile out and announced: "I believe that everyone saw the results for themselves. This profound armor's power has greatly surpa.s.sed the abilities of the other individual profound armaments. As long as you are able to don it, battle ability equal with those fifth levels above you would no longer be a dream! Profound armor of this grade can only be seen and never obtained! Next, we will………"
In the middle of his words, a beauty suddenly walked onstage and whispered something in his ear.
Stunned, Manager Sun turned around to the back of the stage. There he saw a very familiar silhouette. It was his mysterious owner's personal bodyguards!
Not daring to be negligent, he declared a momentary pause in the auction and left the stage.
No one thought that after waiting for such a long time and coupled with such a detailed explanation and demonstration, Manager Sun would say the word 'suspended'! Everyone had already been incited, their wallets ready to begin bidding.
This was a blatant pouring of cold water on their heads!
Immediately a few disappointed guests protested from the audience.
"What’s the problem? Why aren't you starting the auction? Are you playing with us?"
"Right. Taking off the pants to just let us see this??"
"What tricks are Thousand Treasure Pavilion up to?"
"Do not impatient. Stay safe and do not be impatient. Wait and see for a while. Maybe an accident occurred?"
The Crown Prince was within the crowd of those emotionally stirred. Repeatedly his face had been slapped today. But the reason why he persevered and continue to sit all this time was because of his wish to obtain that set of profound armor!
Biting the bullet and looking forward for so long, it really came as a surprise for this sudden suspension of the auction.
For a time, his breath was lodged in the chest. An indescribable sense of nausea could be felt as he heavily hit his seat handle. His face revealing his irritation.
"What is going on? In the end want does Thousand Treasure Pavilion want to do? After all this time, just to call for a suspension?"
At the edge of her seat, Bai Ruo Qi consoled: "Your Royal Highness, do not worry. The credibility of Thousand Treasure Pavilion has always been very good. And with such an important auction, perhaps a mishap may have genuinely occurred……."
"What kind of situation? Could it be more important than this profound armament? Can they not deal with it once the auction has ended? This owner of Thousand Treasure Pavilion cannot be this appalling in conducting business? Keeping us hanging here, what is his meaning?"
Just as his impatience had reached a peak, he suddenly heard voices from behind him.
"This distinguished guest, would you like to have a gla.s.s of wild rose tea?"
Turning his head around, the Crown Prince saw a young man clothed in the waiter uniform of Thousand Treasure Pavilion pus.h.i.+ng a cart. On the dining cart was an a.s.sortment of various wine samples.
In the general seating of the auction, there would often be dining carts serving the guests with various samples of beverages and food.
The Crown Prince had always enjoyed tasting different varieties of wine and Thousand Treasure Pavilion was in no lack of delicacies. If it were in more normal times, he would be more than willingly to taste a cup.
But now he was in a bad mood. Completely not in the mood, he impatiently waved the attendant away.
"Not interested, get out of the way!"
With an irritated heart, his tone unusually cold.
At this time, Manager Sun and the personal guards completed their conversation. So he once again returned to the auction.
"Ladies and gentlemen, just then, the seller of this profound armor set just sent a message saying………."
