"Who's that!!?"

"Can others also enter here besides the big clans, big forces, and other powerful groups?"

The appearance of this black-robed figure instantly made everyone on the entire sixth floor of the maneuver arena suspicious. Just Zheng-Fu alone had made everyone think hard and want to know more about him, but now, another person in black robes appeared.

"Who else is that? Ah! This smell is feminine. The person in black must be a woman. My young woman's sense of smell isn't a mistake, for sure!" Ye-Liu stared at the person in black. Before his eyes widened, he spoke confidently, relying on his sense of smell.

"Your talent is truly… But are you sure that person is a woman?" Zheng-Fu also felt that this person was a woman, though he wasn't sure. However, hearing Ye-Liu's remark made him nine parts confident.

"You obscene bastards! What can you smell? Are you a dog, Ye-Liu?" Qing-Qi's face flushed red, and she felt inexplicably embarrassed. Hearing her younger brother's words and noticing Zheng-Fu's curious expression reminded her of that moment again.

"What are your problems, Elder Sister? If men like us aren't allowed to talk about women, are we supposed to talk about men? We're not guys who like guys!" The young man retorted, stating firmly that he liked woman.

"I don't care! I won't let you guys talk about such things again. Otherwise…"

"Hey! Hey! Hey! Miss Qing-Qi, you may force your younger brother, but you have no right to stop me! Because we are not related. What I say is none of your business!" Zheng-Fu immediately retorted when he heard Qing-Qi's compulsive words.

"You!!!"

Hearing Zheng-Fu's words, Qing-Qi's expression turned even redder. She was both embarrassed and angry, but she couldn't say or do anything because Zheng-Fu was correct. She had no right to stop him from talking or thinking about other women.

"Come on, you two, let's stop talking about things that make us uncomfortable. Now, the thing that should interest us is the auction. You were assigned to bid for that weapon, weren't you?" Seeing the situation worsen, Ye-Liu tried to change the subject to calm his elder sister.

Tch!!!

"I'll keep it for later! Once the auction is over, I'll kill you!" Although she was dissatisfied, Qing-Qi had to shake off her displeasure for her most important duty and focus on the Heavenly-Level Weapon auction.

"Brother Ye-Liu, I think I should move to another seat. If I continue to stay here, I'm afraid…"

"Just sit here, it's fine! Even if you move to another seat, I'll follow and sit with you anyway. And when I sit with you, my elder sister will follow me too. So, no matter where you sit, it's no different. By the way, aren't you planning on bidding for this item?" Ye-Liu interrupted before Zheng-Fu could finish speaking. He explained the reason for holding Zheng-Fu back to remain seated before asking if Zheng-Fu would not join the auction to compete with others.

"I'll participate, but it's not the time yet. I'll wait until the price stabilizes, then I'll offer a bid. If I bid now, someone else will just offer more anyway. So, it's better for me to sit still, save my breath, and wait until the end to say it all in one!" Zheng-Fu thought about bidding but was strategizing about how to handle the Sacred World-Splitting Sword. He decided to wait until the price reached its peak before making a final decision.

"6,000 high-level Purple Heaven Crystals by that black-robed Master. Who else will bid more?" After the black-robed figure, who no one knew was a woman, made a high leap in the bidding, the middle-aged man immediately announced her bid.

"6,100 high-level Purple Heaven Crystals from Ravaged Blaze Lion Force."

"6,200 high-level Purple Heaven Crystals from Heavenly Floating Cloud Tiger Clan."

"6,300 high-level Purple Heaven Crystals from Heavenly Command Saber Clan."

"6,500 high-level Purple Heaven Crystals from Sky Thunder-Heavenly Star Clan."

"7,000 high-level Purple Heaven Crystals from Heavenly Storm Wolf Force."

"7,500 high-level Purple Heaven Crystals from Celestial Star Clan."

The sound of clenching teeth could be heard several times as the price kept rising unrelentingly. At this moment, it had skyrocketed to nearly ten thousand high-level Purple Heaven Crystals.

"Sigh! How rich these big clans really are!"

"That's right! They own several Heavenly Mine Caves, including Heavenly Waterfall Foundations. In one month, they produce at least ten million low-level Purple Heaven Crystals, not even counting the intermediate and high levels!"

"But harvesting this many high-level Purple Heaven Crystals takes a lot of time. Well, crystals can be found at any time, but finding a Heavenly Weapon is as difficult as finding a needle in the ocean!"

"By the way, who do you think will take that sword?"

"From what I can see, they all have the right to get it. It only depends on whether they'll throw all the crystals they have or not!"

"And do you think that young man will join the auction? I feel like he's waiting for a good moment to bid on it!"

"That kid? I think the same as you. But I'm still not sure if he has enough crystals to participate in this round."

"It's possible. Maybe he could have such an amount."

The other auction participants, who could not compete with the crazy price increase, turned to chat and speculate on the likelihood of who would win this round of auctions. Everyone had different ideas, but one thing they all had in common was wondering whether Zheng-Fu would join the auction.

"7,500 high-level Purple Heaven Crystals from Celestial Star Clan. Can anyone give more?"

"8,000 high..."

"10,000 high-level Purple Heaven Crystals!"

Huh!?!

Just as the auction price was about to be raised by representatives from the Heavenly Divine Memoir Clan, the young woman in black suddenly raised the bid again by leaping forward as before. The price soaring to 10,000 high-level Purple Heaven Crystals made all the representatives of the clans and big forces turn pale.

"What the hell is this!? Who is that person in black? Could it be someone from the auction organizers themselves?" a displeased voice sounded from a middle-aged man from the Heavenly Storm Wolf Force, who felt the black-cloaked person had come to manipulate the price higher.

"That's right! Is that person one of the auction organizers sent to manipulate the prices up?" the middle-aged man representing the Heavenly Command Saber Clan agreed, sharing the suspicion.

"Yes! Is that a member of the trade groups?"

"If you are sincere, tell that person to reveal their identity!"

"Reveal their identity!"

"Everyone calm down first! We confirm that this person is definitely not one of us. We've been conducting auctions honestly; you all know that. Therefore, on behalf of the auction organizers, I assure you that this person has nothing to do with us and is not our person at all! But, if anyone doesn't believe it, then you can get out of here; we won't mind if you think us unrighteous!"

Seeing that many voices were calling out, the middle-aged man in the middle of the arena spoke up with firm confirmation that the person in black did not belong to their organization. He also asked the disgruntled participants to leave if they doubted the auction's integrity.

The middle-aged man's few words silenced all the auction participants, who dared not speak further. Everyone knew that auctioneers were always honest and straightforward, with no history of cheating.

"Just as Elder said, I'm not really a member of the auction organizers. But I can't reveal my true identity to others, so I've to hide my face. I'm really sorry. Anyway, the auction depends on who has thicker wallets, not who speaks better, right?" Suddenly, a sweet and beautiful voice rang out. The owner of this voice was the young woman in black who had just bid 10,000 high-level Purple Heaven Crystals.

"Young woman!!?"

"A woman? And who is she if not a member of the auction organizers?"

As the young woman in black spoke up, the atmosphere on the Nine Heavens Maneuver Arena's sixth floor calmed like a spell. Even the middle-aged man from the Heavenly Storm Wolf Force, who had previously been aggressive, turned as docile as a lamb.

"Ah! What a sweet sound! I wonder how beautiful her face is!?" The young woman's voice made Ye-Liu, who was naturally attracted to women, go crazy. His expression now resembled that of a lovesick man fantasizing about her.

"Brother Ye-Liu, I think you're expressing too much! Maybe her face isn't as beautiful as her voice! I've seen a lot of women with sweet voices but very frightening appearances. So maybe she covered her face because of that!" Zheng-Fu, however, wasn't enchanted like the others. Having been hurt before in similar situations, he didn't trust appearances until he saw someone's face himself.

"Younger Brother, that's too much. You know, if I hear a young woman's voice and feel that she's sweet and beautiful, you can definitely believe that she's as beautiful as an angel from heaven!" But Ye-Liu ignored Zheng-Fu's words, choosing instead to trust his own instincts.

"If so, then it's up to you..."

Whooooosh!!!

Just as Zheng-Fu was about to reply to Ye-Liu, he sensed intense psychic killing intent directed at him.

'What a terrible psychic killing, but this can't hurt me!' The psychic killing Zheng-Fu sensed came from the young woman in black. If someone else at his level experienced such intensity, they would likely have suffered mental trauma. However, for Zheng-Fu, it was harmless.

Huh?

'How is this kid still standing? With his energy level, he should have fallen to the ground or worse. Then why is he still standing!?' The young woman in black had a shocked expression beneath her veil. She couldn't believe Zheng-Fu withstood her psychic killing and, realizing this, quickly withdrew it.

Zheng-Fu then grimaced. (It was actually Zheng-Fu's cute and adorable smile.)
