--- Chapter 146 ---

"Haa... It's a trap, huh." Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but massaged his forehead and chuckled because this had never happened to him before.

Ning Fengzhi is usually a cold-headed person and very composed for every situation, so he always makes good decisions.

However, a young man somehow could cause his emotions to slightly get out of control for a moment, which caused him to make a rash decision.

'This young man, no Xiao Yan, really got me there.' Ning Fengzhi slowly looked at Yunlong's room and noticed a wide grin taunting him.

'Whatever.' He shook his head to calm himself down and looked back at the stage, where the Evil Moon Grass lay in the jade box with a chilling aura.

The auctioneer couldn't contain her smile and looked at Ning Fengzhi with a beaming gaze. "10,000,000 Gold Coins Once." She stated to everyone.

"10,000,000 Gold Coins Second?" She continued, but no one responded because they didn't want to buy something that literally became one hundred times more expensive.

Even the excited young man, who really wanted to win over the grass, couldn't open his mouth because his whole budget was not even close to Ning Fengzhi's wallet.

"Since no one wants to continue this auction, then 10,000,000 gold coins will seal the Evil Moon Grass auction." The auctioneer declared while slamming the auctioneer's hammer.

Bam!

As the wooden hammer noises echoed in the room, everyone clapped their hands for Ning Fengzhi, who had a wry smile on his face.

--- Qian Renxue's room ---

Xue Ke looked at the auction hall with a frown because she didn't understand why uncle Fengzhi got such a worthless item.

"But then 10,000,000 gold coins is a substantial amount of money." Xue Ke muttered while looking at the Evil Moon Grass.

"Hmm, maybe the teacher needs it to heal someone?" Qian Renxue commented while looking at Yunlong, who seemed to know something about this.

Of course, Yunlong knows about this because he's the one who injured the person Ning Fengzhi wants to heal.

The auction is finally over, and the guests one by one leave the auction hall, leaving Ning Fengzhi and his acquaintances alone.

The auctioneer walked toward Ning Fengzhi and handed the jade box with the Evil Moon Grass inside it.

"Congratulations for obtaining our product, the seven treasure clan's head." She said with a polite smile on her face.

"Yeah, thanks." Ning Fengzhi naturally responded while receiving the jade box and handed it to Flender.

Flender hurriedly took the box and looked at Ning Fengzhi with a solemn expression because this healing item literally cost ten million gold coins.

'Just how long it would take for us to repay him.' Flender thought while releasing a sigh.

Flender looked at Yu Xiaogang, who had a thoughtful expression on his face.

"Xiaogang?" He said while tapping his shoulder a little.

Yu Xiaogang came back from his deep thoughts and immediately moved his gaze to Flender. "What?" He responded with a frown.

"We have the item," Flender said while showing him the jade box, which slightly released cold air.

Yu Xiaogang's eyes brightened because, with the Evil Moon Grass, they could heal Tang San, but they still didn't have the right way to process it.

"Sir Ning, the poison." Yu Xiaogang said while shifting his gaze to Ning Fengzhi.

Ning Fengzhi calmly nodded his head and said, "Well, Xiao Yan, was it? We have won the Evil Moon Grass."

"Could you cooperate with us and tell us how to remove the poison?" He asked, to which Yunlong responded with a chuckle.

"Hmm, why don't you come here first? I won't move my body from this room." Yunlong said while lazily lying on the couch.

"Let's have a peaceful talk." He added with a humorous tone, which caused them to frown.

However, Ning Fengzhi won't get swayed again by Yunlong's provocation and naturally nodded his head.

"I see... Then, wait there for a minute." He naturally replied with a smile on his face.

Yunlong didn't reply to him and casually closed his eyes, waiting for them to come into his room.

It took exactly one minute for Ning Fengzhi to stand in front of Yunlong's room door and knock on it.

"The seven treasure clan's head, you could enter, but only you." Yunlong's voice suddenly entered their ears.

"I don't want my room filled with extra people." He casually continued, which caused Yu Xiaogang and Flender's mouths to twitch.

"Y-You..." Ning Rongrong, who felt attacked, wanted to kick the door immediately, but Ning Fengzhi only patted her head and shook his head.

"Calm down. Rongrong." Ning Fengzhi said, to which Ning Rongrong responded with a pout.

"Don't worry. This young man won't be able to do anything bad to you or me." He confidently added because they have a secret guardian in the depth of the shadow.

Ning Fengzhi shifted his gaze back to the door and opened it, revealing Yunlong, who lay on the couch with five beautiful-looking maids around him.

"Disgusting..." Ning Rongrong coldly commented while looking at Yunlong, who had five maids around him.

Yunlong casually moved his gaze to Ning Rongrong and gently smiled at her like he didn't hear the cold comment, but she felt otherwise.

Ning Rongrong felt she was standing in front of a smiling devil, who could swallow her entire being easily by just staring at him.

But, this lasted only for a second because as soon as Ning Fengzhi closed the door, Ning Rongrong went back to reality and noticed herself standing in a cold sweat.

"Rongrong, are you okay?" Yu Xiaogang asked because he noticed her unusual reaction for a moment.

"D-Devil..." Ning Rongrong responded with a stutter.

--- Yunlong's room ---

Ning Fengzhi peacefully stood while looking at Yunlong, who also looked at him with a calm expression.

"You spent quite a lot there, huh," Yunlong commented with a smirk.

"Well, thanks to you." Ning Fengzhi answered with a smile.

They didn't talk for a moment and released a light chuckle to each other, indicating they were playing with each other.

Ning Fengzhi, however, wasn't a humorous person, so he straight up asked, "So... Would you tell me how to remove the poison?"

"How much?" Yunlong suddenly asked back.

"Pardon?" Ning Fengzhi fixed his glasses angle because he couldn't catch Yunlong's words' meaning.

"How much are you willing to pay for it?" Yunlong once again asked with a calm tone.

"I see... So that's your motive." Ning Fengzhi responded with a laugh.

"Just say a number or anything you want." He casually said like money or material wasn't a problem for him.

"Heh, then what about your precious daughter?" Yunlong said, which caused Ning Fengzhi's face to become cold, and even his demeanor had changed.

Ning Fengzhi tilted his head and asked coldly, "Is that supposed to be a joke..?"

"Not really." Yunlong indifferently shrugged his shoulders.

"Not really...?" Ning Fengzhi quietly looked at Yunlong and released a cold aura from his body.

"Eh? You're angry? Why don't you call your bodyguard then?" Yunlong jokingly said, which caused Ning Fengzhi to become shocked.

"He's there, right?" He added while pointing his finger at thin air beside Ning Fengzhi.

A black swirl suddenly appeared, and a black-haired man suddenly came out with a smile on his face.

"Old Bone." Ning Fengzhi said while looking at the black-haired man.

"Hehe, this brat is so interesting." Old Bone said while looking at Yunlong.

Yunlong only smiled and said, "Nice to meet you, Bone Douluo."
