Chapter 90: The Price of Brain Pumping

In the luxurious conference hall of a five-star hotel in the city of T, the auction house's autumn auction is being held.

Liu Zhao sat in a wide chair in the corner of the venue, boredly flipping through the auction albums.

A few months ago, when she returned to the courtyard in the valley, she suddenly missed that leisurely time and decided to stay for a while.

In the spring, looking at the wild flowers in the familiar valley, Liu Zhao felt like a world away.

When I first moved to this valley, I was still a cynical novice cultivator. At that time, she was tired of everything in the mortal world, but she retained a soft heart.

After five years of hard cultivation and constant battles with ghost monks, her heart became hard, but on the contrary, she had an inexplicable nostalgia for ordinary people and things.

After sending Dahua to send the spirit stones assigned to Tianyi Sect back to the sect, she spent a leisurely period of time in the valley courtyard before she remembered the gains from cleaning up the dragon mound this trip.

Directly through the dozen or so halls where the bones of the divine dragon were hung high, she walked into the hall full of wooden frames.

The things inside are basically treasures full of water aura, and Liu Zhao doesn't know most of them. The giant turtle was familiarizing herself with the environment in the Roselle space, and she temporarily stopped looking for it to ask.

Liu Zhao quickly found a half-meter-tall aquamarine with good purity from the many treasures. Aquamarine has no meaning for cultivators, but it is a highly sought-after mid-range gemstone in the world.

On a whim, she actually entrusted An Yang to find the auction house she had worked with again, and took advantage of this autumn auction to sell this gem.

However, when she paid the deposit, received the number plate, and sat at the auction site with a warm atmosphere, she suddenly found that she was a little brain-pumping.

She played with the sachet made of big flowers in one hand, frowned slightly and looked at a few local tyrants who frequently raised signs not far away, and listened to the auctioneer's bidding boredly, she decided to go out for a walk.

Just as Liu Zhao was about to stand up, her eyes suddenly froze, and she quietly sat back in place, and hurriedly covered her face with a large auction album.

She quickly turned her appearance into a thin woman in her thirties, trying to minimize her presence in the crowd.

At the entrance of the auction, a ruffian man in a smart suit was slowly walking into the auction hall.

He was dark-skinned and had a sturdy and slender build. A strand of black curly hair naturally hangs down on a full forehead, and on top of the slightly thick lips are two neatly trimmed mustaches. Under the thick eyebrows, the narrow eyes shone and scanned the venue nonchalantly.

Liu Zhao seemed to be about to plunge his head into the album, and scolded himself countless times in his heart!

"What the hell? The stinky fox is still alive! I'm going to have to have a lot of brains to get to this damn auction, and I'm stuck here by this old monster! ”

"He can't see me, he can't see me......" Liu Zhao muttered in his heart, as if he would really let himself become a little transparent in front of the thousand-year-old demon a few more times.

Hu Jiu looked at the corner amusedly, and stuck his head into the auction album, revealing only the shivering figure with black hair on the top of his head.

"Xiao Zhao, what's wrong with this? How do you get uglier and uglier every time? Although Liu Zhao's disguise technique is clever, it's a pity that her own cultivation is too low, and with a little identification, Hu Jiu can easily see Liu Zhao's true face.

Hu Jiu quickly walked through the many seats, and after a while, he sat next to Liu Zhao and grabbed the little hand that was holding the paper and trembling slightly.

It wasn't until he grabbed Liu Zhao's cold and soft hand that Hu Jiu breathed a sigh of relief, he finally didn't have to worry that she would suddenly disappear in front of his eyes!

Liu Zhao felt that her hand was tightly held by a powerful big hand, and the fiery temperature of the other party's palm came, and her trembling suddenly stopped.

Dejectedly, she put down the auction album and found herself next to the wall of the venue, and she was blocked in the corner by this horrible man! Liu Zhao stared at his side hatefully, his big swarthy face full of pride.

"Baby, missed me?" Hu Jiu looked at Liu Zhao's watery eyes because of annoyance, he shook his head disapprovingly and said, "I'm really sorry for making myself so ugly!" ”

The charming voice was as mellow as in his memory, and what accompanied the voice to Liu Zhao's ears was a strong heat wave full of masculinity. Liu Zhao's heart was like a boat in the center of the storm, constantly being thrown up and down.

She glanced around and saw that everyone was attracted by the string of emerald beads that was being auctioned, and no one paid attention to the corner.

Forcing herself to suppress the horror in her heart, she gritted her teeth and smiled softly at the man who was holding her hand, and in his deep gaze, her appearance became much older again.

Wrinkles quickly crept up the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, and her skin was dry and dull, except for a pair of clear eyes that shone with a sly light.

Hu Jiu raised his eyebrows, looking at Liu Zhao's childish behavior, he raised the corner of his mouth on one side, and said lightly: "Xiao Zhao, you know it's useless, don't affect my good mood, huh?" ”

As he spoke, his long, narrow eyes, sunk beneath his high brow bones, narrowed dangerously, and a flash of pink light flickered.

Liu Zhao was in a trance for a while, and then she was awakened by the smell of agarwood in the sachet, she desperately tried to break free of her hand, but she was clenched tighter and tighter by Yue's hand.

Hu Jiu watched Liu Zhao's expression change, he approached her body with interest, sniffed it gently, and then grinned slightly thick lips, revealing snow-white teeth, "Top agarwood, although it has the miraculous effect of refreshing the mind, but it can't stop my charm technique." ”

As he spoke, Hu Jiu was a scoundrel clinging to Liu Zhao's face, and the fiery breath blew straight to her neck: "Or, you try?" ”

As if surrounded by a heat wave, Liu Zhao had goosebumps, she bit her red lip, and said in a dumb voice: "Stay away from me!" ”

Hu Jiu looked at Shengxue's delicate face with satisfaction, and the narrow fox's eyes flashed with joy.

"Xiao Zhao, I finally see you!" Holding Liu Zhao's hand tightly with one hand, he stretched out his muscular ape arm that was hidden by the suit and hugged Liu Zhao's shoulder.

In the eyes of the world, this handsome man and beautiful woman sitting in the corner are talking about love as if no one is around.

Feeling the soft and slender body of the beautiful woman in his arms, and smelling the sweet fragrance that he had missed for many years, Hu Jiu sighed with satisfaction, feeling that the sins of the past five years had finally not been in vain!

Yes, five years! It only took him five years for Hu Jiu to receive eighty-one lashes! In his fifth year, he asked Hu Changtian to open the door of heavenly punishment again, and all the whipping in the next four years was completed within one year.

With his super demon soul, Hu Jiu resisted the intensive whip. It only took half a year to recuperate, and he hurriedly came to the world to find Liu Zhao's trace.

In Hu Jiu's eyes, Liu Zhao's characteristics are too obvious! As long as he returns to the area where she disappeared and finds the place where the water aura is most abundant, it must be the location of the beautiful woman.

Coincidentally, Liu Zhao has been going around outside for so many years, but today he crashed into Hu Jiu's sight.
