Chapter 79
After more than an hour, Xiao Chen finally arrived at the auction house of the Liu Clan, which he was familiar with.
“Young Master Xiao Chen, are you here for our Lady Liu?”
A young and pretty receptionist saw Xiao Chen coming to the Liu Family’s Auction House again. She immediately smiled like a flower and asked for Lady Liu.
Now, all the members of the Liu Family’s Auction House knew that the new young master of the Sha Family, Xiao Chen, would come to the Liu Family’s Auction House every few days to find their Lady Liu. They all thought that Xiao Chen was also here to pursue Liu Ruyue.
This was normal. Liu Ruyue was the most charming single lady in the Sha Family. Every man was attracted to her. In the early years, there were countless handsome young masters who pursued Liu Ruyue. However, Liu Ruyue didn’t like any of them. Gradually, Liu Ruyue became known as the Enchantress. Men didn’t dare to pursue her easily.
Xiao Chen was only a young man to the mature Liu Ruyue.
This was because Liu Ruyue was already twenty-four years old. She had already passed the age of a young lady. If she married, she would be considered a young married woman. A young married woman was the most mature and charming of women.
Liu Ruyue had reached the age of a young married woman. She had the mature charm and charm of a young married woman. However, she was still a virgin, which made her an extremely beautiful woman. Plus, she was smart and beautiful. Naturally, she became the most beautiful lady in the Sha Family. She was the dream goddess of almost all the men in the Sha Family.
Xiao Chen didn’t care about the receptionist’s enthusiasm. He just asked indifferently, “Hmm, is Lady Liu here?”
“Young Master Xiao Chen, please follow me.”
The receptionist girl was not at all restrained in front of the cold Xiao Chen. She slowly turned around, swaying her slender waist and plump buttocks as she led the way. Moreover, the more she swayed, the more exaggerated she became. It was obvious that she was deliberately seducing Xiao Chen. If she was accepted as a woman by Xiao Chen, she would become a phoenix from a hen.
However, Xiao Chen didn’t even look at the receptionist girl’s swaying waist and hips. The receptionist girl’s efforts were in vain.
“Dong dong dong!”
After a while, Xiao Chen followed the girl’s buttocks and arrived at a room on the third floor. The receptionist knocked on the wooden door of the room.
“Come in.”
A lazy female voice came from inside. It was Liu Ruyue’s voice.
Creak!
The door was gently pushed open by the receptionist girl. She looked back at Xiao Chen with a hint of bitterness in her eyes and said respectfully, “Young Master Xiao Chen, please come in!”
“Thank you.”
Xiao Chen pretended not to see the bitterness in the girl’s eyes. He said his thanks indifferently and stepped into the room.
What surprised Xiao Chen was that this time, it wasn’t just Liu Ruyue in the room. There was also a white-haired old woman with a kind smile on her face.
An expert!
Xiao Chen sized up the old woman and immediately became vigilant. Because with his super strong perception, he could feel that the old woman sitting in the chair had an unfathomable cultivation.
The old woman’s seemingly ordinary and kind appearance concealed her powerful strength. At the very least, she was much stronger than Military Kill Ripper.
The old woman’s slightly turbid eyes naturally landed on Xiao Chen’s face. She discovered that Xiao Chen had been vigilant against her the moment he entered. After a slight pause, she nodded her head secretly. She felt a heartfelt admiration for Xiao Chen’s beast-like perception.
This child was indeed extraordinary!
This was the old woman’s evaluation of Xiao Chen.
The beautiful Liu Ruyue’s gaze moved from the auction report in her hands to the face of the person who had come. After discovering that it was Xiao Chen, she immediately smiled, and a charming expression appeared on her face.
When she saw that Xiao Chen’s gaze wasn’t looking at her, but at Grandma Liu, she was slightly startled. She immediately relaxed and opened her red lips, “Young Master Xiao Chen, your presence brings light to my humble dwelling. Ruyue didn’t come out to welcome you, please forgive me.”
“Miss Liu, there’s no need to say such polite words to a crude person like me. I just want to ask if there’s any news of the Dragonheart Grass?”
When Xiao Chen heard Liu Ruyue’s polite words, his gaze shifted to Liu Ruyue’s eyes and he asked a little urgently.
When Liu Ruyue heard that the first thing Xiao Chen asked every time was about the Dragonheart Grass, she bitterly smiled in her heart. She didn’t understand why Xiao Chen was so passionate about the Dragonheart Grass. Although the Dragonheart Grass was good, with Xiao Chen’s aptitude, the Dragonheart Grass wasn’t a necessity.
Xiao Chen didn’t tell Liu Ruyue about his grandfather. Liu Ruyue naturally wouldn’t think of the other use of the Dragonheart Grass. The less people knew about his grandfather’s existence, the better. People’s hearts were unfathomable, and Xiao Chen didn’t trust anyone besides his grandfather. In fact, there was another person that Xiao Chen completely trusted, and that was the already deceased Grandma Liu.
Grandma Liu’s death was an eternal pain in Xiao Chen’s heart. Xiao Chen would remember that there was such an amiable and respectable old grandma for the rest of his life.
If he could resurrect Grandma Liu, Xiao Chen would do everything he could to achieve it.
According to legend, the supreme god could do it, but no one knew if there was a god in this world. That ethereal realm was simply not what the current Xiao Chen could imagine, unless Xiao Chen’s cultivation and strength were the strongest in the Wilderness God Continent.
A bitter smile was a bitter smile, but Liu Ruyue still gave Xiao Chen hope, so she smiled and said, “Young Master Xiao Chen, there’s no news of the Dragonheart Grass for now, but the Liu Family has already sent experts out of the Deathgod Tribe to the neighboring Moonview Tribe to inquire about the Dragonheart Grass for Young Master. I believe there will be results soon.”
“Not yet?”
Xiao Chen frowned, and a trace of disappointment appeared on his face. However, when he heard that the Liu Family had already sent people to other tribes to inquire about the Dragonheart Grass, his expression became a lot better, and he said with slight gratitude, “Thank you very much. Whether or not you can help me find the Dragonheart Grass, I, Xiao Chen, owe the Liu Family a favor. Goodbye!”
“Wait!
Young Master Xiao Chen! “Liu Ruyue saw that Xiao Chen came and went in a hurry, without the slightest reluctance to stay, so she hurriedly opened her mouth to ask him to stay.
Liu Ruyue had doubts about her own charm in her heart. Other men couldn’t wait to stick to her, but Xiao Chen was completely different. Not only was he not interested in her beauty, but he also tried his best to keep a distance from her, as if he was afraid that she would eat him up. This made her feel helpless, but at the same time, she was curious about Xiao Chen, and a strong interest arose in her. Xiao Chen belonged to a man that she still didn’t understand.
Xiao Chen naturally didn’t know that he had already attracted the interest of the Demon Witch of the Deathgod City. Hearing Liu Ruyue’s call, he stopped his steps, turned around, and asked in confusion, “Miss Liu, do you have other matters?”
“Yes, sit down first, and then we’ll talk, okay?”
Liu Ruyue glanced at Xiao Chen flirtatiously, then looked at an empty chair beside the old woman, and earnestly asked. Her expression was very sincere, and people couldn’t bear to refuse.
Xiao Chen saw Liu Ruyue’s expression, and didn’t say anything superfluous. He directly walked over and sat down, then said in a deep voice, “Miss Liu, if there’s anything you need, don’t hesitate to tell me. If I can help, I will absolutely not refuse!”
“Young Master Xiao Chen, call me Liu Ruyue or Ruyue. Calling me Miss Liu makes me sound distant, hehe.”
Liu Ruyue smiled and began to get close to Xiao Chen. If other men saw Liu Ruyue trying to please Xiao Chen like this, they would probably be extremely jealous of Xiao Chen.
Liu Ruyue saw that Xiao Chen wasn’t moved, so she flirtatiously rolled her eyes at Xiao Chen. She cautiously introduced the old woman beside her, “This is our Liu Clan’s most senior elder. You can call her Grandma Liu, because that’s what Ruyue also calls her.”
“Young Master Xiao Chen, hello,” the old woman Grandma Liu’s slightly hoarse, but incomparably kind and aged voice sounded right after Liu Ruyue’s words.
“What!
Grandma Liu? ”
Xiao Chen was so shocked that he abruptly stood up from his chair, and shouted in surprise. He was too familiar with the name “Grandma Liu”, so familiar that it made his heart ache.
