Chapter 426: Hearts Linked as One

A look of surprise appeared on Lou Mu Yan’s face, as if he had spoken what was in her heart.

“Didn’t Old Bai just say that you didn’t know the auction items at the Tian’yuan Auction?”

Old Bai didn’t feel awkward upon being questioned by Lou Mu Yan and said truthfully: “The news that the Seven-Coloured Gazed Cauldron isn’t concrete, but a certain executive of the Tian’yuan Auction quietly released it.
And this old man originally didn’t think that Young Miss Lou had the ability to win it.”

He never thought that Lou Mu Yan would be able to take out a Heaven Rank Spiritual Item such as the Soul Nourishing Wood, so he naturally didn’t take the initiative to mention the Seven-Coloured Glazed Cauldron.

As for the other items in the auction, he really didn’t know.
Each auction will hide the information about the items auctioned, and their Ming Chamber of Commerce Alliance wouldn’t deliberately go dig the secrets of the City Lord’s Mansion either.

“Yeah! If it wasn’t for the Seven-Coloured Glazed Cauldron, how could I be willing to take out the Soul Nourishing Wood to trade.” Lou Mu Yan smiled bitterly.

This piece of Soul Nourishing Wood was only a small part of what she had.
The nourishing and repairing function of the ice bangle had already brought back to life the originally dead Soul Nourishing Wood that she won in the competition space before.
She even divided a few buds from it and promoted its growth into seedlings and each survived.

However, she naturally couldn’t reveal it in front of this Old Bai.
Only by expressing how pitiful and reluctant she was, could she convince him more.

“The Seven-Coloured Glazed Cauldron is indeed a rare, good thing for an Alchemist, Smith, and Talisman Master.” Old Bai was also a Smith himself, and it was a lie if he said that the Seven-Coloured Glazed Cauldron wasn’t tempting, but he really didn’t have the financial resources to win it.

“Why don’t you take the Soul Nourishing Wood to the Tian’yuan Auction? Maybe the price after the auction will be higher than the price given by us Ming Chamber of Commerce Alliance.” Old Bai asked the question he had.

Of course, he wasn’t stupid enough to push Lou Mu Yan’s Soul Nourishing Wood out, but he was certain that this little girl wouldn’t break her promise.

“The Soul Nourishing Wood is too eye-catching.
If I take it to the unfamiliar Tian’yuan Auction, if the news was leaked, it may bring death on me.” Lou Mu Yan took a sip of tea and replied leisurely.

Old Bai’s eyes revealed some admiration.
This little girl had a firm heart and wasn’t overwhelmed by interests.
She was indeed a character.

“Your scruples are correct.
Although the Tian’yuan Auction was organised by the City Lord’s Mansion, but there are spies from the Six Major Sects and other major forces mixed within.
If you took out this level of Soul Nourishing Wood to auction, it will definitely be targeted by many powerful forces.”

Old Bai continued: “Even the two Headmasters of the Eight Extremes Sect might not be able to protect you completely.”

Although the two Headmasters were both Sword Saint cultivation base peak powerhouses, but if they were to be besieged by a group of Sword Saints, they might not be able to take care of Lou Mu Yan.

“I also took this into consideration before taking out the Soul Nourishing Wood.
I want to make this trade with our Chamber of Commerce.
After all, I have more trust in the Ming Chamber of Commerce Alliance.”

Lou Mu Yan asked with a meaningful smile: “I wonder how much Spiritual Stones Old Bai can give for this trade?”

Old Bai returned the Soul Nourishing Wood to Lou Mu Yan and said: “This level of Soul Nourishing Wood is worth at least tens of millions of Spiritual Stones.
This old man only has the authority to use ten million Spiritual Stones.
Young Miss Lou please sit for a while, I will go and return quickly.”

“Then I will trouble Old Bai.” Lou Mu Yan knew that he was going to report to and ask for a price from the superiors of the Tian’yuan City’s Ming Chamber of Commerce Alliance.

After Old Bai left, she played with the Soul Nourishing Wood and pondered.
If it weren’t that she had no other choice, she really didn’t want to take out such a thing that could cause people to covet it.

But Ming Xiu was the Monarch of the Ming Chamber of Commerce Alliance.
She was certain that the news that she was selling the Soul Nourishing Wood would never spread.

Just as she was thinking about Ming Xiu, the door suddenly opened and closed, and a familiar aura appeared in the room.

With a thought, she raised her head and took look.
She met that handsome face that was comparable to the incarnation of a devil, and those scorching, deep black eyes overflowing with tenderness.

“You’ve come!” Lou Mu Yan’s beautiful eyes were filled with a rare softness, and her voice was as clear and sweet as spring water.

Ming Xiu was dressed completely in red and didn’t wear a mask.
That devilish, unbridled temperament was filled with dominance and mixed with a hint of tenderness.

He walked to Lou Mu Yan and consciously wrapped her in his arms as he sat down where she originally sat.
He lowered his head and inhaled the serene medicinal fragrance on her that he missed.

“You knew I was coming?”

“I didn’t, I guessed.” Lou Mu Yan let him hold her as she leaned in his embrace which gave her an indescribable sense of security.

For two lifetimes, she had been cultivating hard, carrying everything by herself and had never relied on anyone.

But for Ming Xiu, it was different.
Even if they didn’t meet a lot, he would always give her a feeling of peace and warmth, as if a small boat floating in the sea had finally arrived at a harbour where it could be docked.

Maybe this was the legendary fated to be.

“This can only show that our hearts are linked as one.” A merry laugh poured out of Ming Xiu’s thin red lips.

Lou Mu Yan raised her head and looked up at him to ask: “You heard that I was coming, so you came along?”

Otherwise, how could he have appeared so quickly?

“No.” Ming Xiu kissed her forehead, and his deep phoenix-shaped eyes were very tender, “The news that there will be a Seven-Coloured Glazed Cauldron at the Tian’yuan Auction will definitely reach the ears of the superiors of the Eight Extremes Sect.
I guessed that you should know.

“You will definitely be interested in the Seven-Coloured Glazed Cauldron, but you wouldn’t have so many Spiritual Stones to be able to contend for it, so you could only take out some high-level Spiritual Items to sell.”

There was a meaningful smile on Ming Xiu’s lips: “With your intelligence, it’s naturally impossible to take a Spiritual Item that could cause a sensation to the auction for people to covet.
The best choice is to come to the Ming Chamber of Commerce Alliance.”

Lou Mu Yan’s long eyelashes batted, and there was a bright smile on her exquisite face with a look of teasing in her eyes, “Then you came here on purpose to wait for me?”

“Yes.” Ming Xiu hugged her and nodded.

“You sure know me well.” Lou Mu Yan chuckled softly and had to admire this guy’s intelligence.

“You’re the woman I fell in love with, I naturally want to get to know you well.” Ming Xiu spoke whispers of love without even blushing.

Lou Mu Yan was moved when she heard the words ‘fell in love with’ and the tip of her ear was dyed a rare pink.

Ming Xu felt that her appearance right now had a charm he had never seen before and couldn’t resist kissing those long-desired lips.

Lou Mu Yan’s body froze.
It was the first time in two lifetimes that she had been so intimate with a man.

However, she had a free and easy temperament and since she fell in love with this man, then she wouldn’t be quarrelsome, so she closed her eyes and returned the kiss.

Neither of them were skilled, but they were gradually self-taught as their entire bodies and minds quivered with the feeling of pleasant tingles, something that neither had ever experienced before.

After a long while did Ming Xiu let go of the panting Lou Mu Yan and hugged her tightly in his arms, enjoying the rare serene and warm atmosphere.

“You want the Seven-Coloured Glazed Cauldron?” Ming Xiu’s voice carried a sliver of simple sexy magnetism as well as a tenderness and pampering, making one unable to resist sinking in.

“Yes.”
