Little Junior Sister, We Can’t Handle This Grind Anymore - Chapter 56

The Red Heaven Sword was her Master’s life-bound magical instrument. When Su Yanran obtained it, she was only at the Golden Core stage. How on earth did she defeat someone at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage?

And even managed to seize his life-bound magical instrument from him?

Right at that moment—

A voice rang out from the third floor. “One low-grade spirit stone.”

Hearing this, Feng Qingran glanced at the attendant, signaling her to place a bid. She absolutely would not let Su Yanran get her hands on this item.

“Two low-grade spirit stones,” the attendant called out.

Next door, Xiao Qingfeng narrowed his eyes. So Feng Qingran has finally run out of spirit stones!

“Ten mid-grade spirit stones,” Xiao Qingfeng’s voice carried a hint of smugness.

“Eleven,” the voice from the third floor sounded somewhat gritted.

Attendant: “Twelve.”

Xiao Qingfeng: “Twenty.”

Xiao Qingfeng felt refreshed and clear-headed.

Indeed, it felt especially comfortable when you didn’t have to worry about others outbidding you.

“Twenty-one.” The third floor used a disguised voice, making it impossible to tell if it was male or female, but the frustration was palpable.

This person was none other than Su Yanran. Everything else was too expensive; she couldn’t afford any of it.

Only this iron rod was within her means. Her intuition told her it was definitely something valuable.

Her intuition had never been wrong since she was a child. Without exception, everything she took a liking to turned out to be a treasure, and she always managed to obtain it.

The only exception was Feng Qingran’s jade bracelet, which had caused her repeated failures!

Hearing the two people on the ninth floor drive the price up again, Su Yanran’s beautiful eyes filled with resentment. “These people are truly despicable! They have so many spirit stones, yet they still have to compete with me for this thing!”

In the past two years, she had only managed to save a few dozen mid-grade spirit stones!

Su Yanran looked at the Teng Snake beside her—or more accurately, at Sheng Shike.

The Teng Snake had ultimately failed to resist Su Yanran’s temptation and chose to possess a body.

Two years ago, it took over Sheng Shike’s body.

It didn’t really want to be a woman, but Su Yanran could only deal with Sheng Shike…

“Teng Snake, how many spirit stones did you bring?”

“A few thousand mid-grade spirit stones. But I suggest you stop bidding. Those two on the ninth floor clearly aren’t short of a few thousand; they’re deliberately competing. Don’t be the one who pays an inflated price.”

Su Yanran didn’t listen to the Teng Snake’s advice.

“Teng Snake, give me all the spirit stones. I must buy it,” Su Yanran said firmly.

The Teng Snake used its right hand to pass the storage pouch to Su Yanran on its left.

Su Yanran hurriedly took the pouch, completely failing to notice the Teng Snake’s unusual state.

The skin on the back of the Teng Snake’s left hand was charred black, with glimpses of bleached bone visible beneath.

The Teng Snake’s eyes flashed several times with a dark green light, and its body emitted a damp, cold aura.

Determined to get the iron rod, Su Yanran gritted her teeth and called out, “Five thousand mid-grade spirit stones!”

Feng Qingran: “Six thousand.”

Xiao Qingfeng: “Seven thousand.”

…

“Are these people doing this on purpose? For a fire poker, they’re bidding ten thousand?”

“It’s true that poverty limits the imagination…”

“You think having money means happiness? No, the happiness of the rich is beyond your imagination…”

“Ah! When gods fight, we mortals can only watch the spectacle. We don’t even dare to interject. If they drop out and leave us with the bid, it would be a disaster!”

Manling listened to the discussions, her red lips curling into a smile. When the Heaven Origin Fruit came out later, this crowd would go even crazier.

Just then, Feng Qingran directly called out, “Ten thousand mid-grade spirit stones!”

Hearing ‘ten thousand,’ Su Yanran nearly ground her silver teeth to dust. Her hands clenched into fists, tendons bulging faintly under her pale skin.

“Teng Snake, do you have any more spirit stones? Or any treasures?”

“No, I gave you everything I have,” the Teng Snake said, its face dark and cold. It had recognized the voice of bidder ninety-nine as Feng Qingran’s.

It didn’t understand why Feng Qingran, also fourteen years old, was so wealthy.

While Su Yanran was so poor?

A venomous light flashed in Su Yanran’s beautiful eyes. “Teng Snake, keep a close watch on her. After the auction ends, we’ll get it from her!”

Over the years, with the Teng Snake’s help, she had killed many who opposed her.

If she could kill people within her own sect, why would an outsider be any different?

“I advise you to lay low. Don’t draw any more attention to yourself lately,” the Teng Snake cautioned.

————————

Feng Qingran successfully obtained the sword sheath and was very pleased.

She sent the sheath into her spatial realm and sighed. “But I seem to have forgotten which secret realm the Dragon Emperor Sword is in?”

Coo, coo, coo! —

Zhuoyan, who had been quiet for a long time, called out.

Feng Qingran actually wanted to find the Dragon Emperor Sword? That was the treasure guarding the Ten Directions Domain!

To obtain the sword, one must either: 1. Kill all the Fierce Beasts, or 2. Subdue one hundred thousand Fierce Beasts.

A worthless little waste at the Foundation Establishment stage still wanted to…

Ah! —

Zhuoyan cried out.

Feng Qingran picked up Zhuoyan. “You know where the Dragon Emperor Sword is?”

“How did you… Gah! I don’t know…” Zhuoyan covered its beak with its wing. Had it just revealed something again?

“Then were you looking down on me just now?” Feng Qingran narrowed her almond-shaped eyes, staring at Zhuoyan.

Zhuoyan immediately denied it. “I wasn’t.”

Feng Qingran released Zhuoyan. If Zhuoyan knew about it, Seventh Brother definitely knew as well. She could just ask Mo Jinghong when she returned.

She couldn’t be bothered to match wits with Zhuoyan.

When Feng Qingran looked up, the attendant by the door trembled. Was this guest also planning to bid on the Heaven Origin Fruit?

The attendant’s heart screamed ‘No!’ She didn’t want to be associated with the Heaven Origin Fruit.

The attendant didn’t know that Feng Qingran definitely would not buy the Heaven Origin Fruit.

If Feng Qingran sold this thing only to buy it back, wouldn’t that be ridiculous!

At this moment, the bidding for the Heaven Origin Fruit had already reached a fever pitch.

The bidders weren’t just from this region; the powerful experts from other regions were bidding even more fiercely, rivaling Feng Qingran’s earlier style.
