The Fairy: From the Traveling Merchant

Chapter 869: Sun Avoids Jade Toad
The private rooms of the Kyoto Grand Theater are divided into several grades, but all of them have built-in space expansion spells, including viewing and performance areas and rest areas, with a full range of facilities and even support for small social activities.

Because of the presence of the real person "Dongxuan", the box Johnson prepared for Zhao Chen was not one of the top-notch ones, but it was already the best grade among the second-rate ones, with all kinds of services available. On weekdays, it would cost at least 200 strings of cash to book it for a night.

After all, this box was nominally booked by the Imperial Concubine.

At this time, Zhao Chen was leaning on the comfortable sofa in the private room, hugging the imperial concubine herself, enjoying the singing and dancing performances between auctions.

Wang Qingling was wearing a loose, semi-transparent black gauze skirt with a very low hem. She lay obediently on Zhao Chen's chest, with his soft pressure on her chest. They looked into each other's eyes, their eyebrows communicating with each other, looking like they were in a passionate love affair.

Occasionally, she would pick up a piece of cake or fruit and put it into Zhao Chen's mouth with her lips and teeth...

Obviously, after spending nearly half a month together, their relationship has advanced a step further. Ordinary kisses and hugs are no longer enough, and now Wang Qingling is just guarding the last bottom line from being broken.

This was not because Wang Qingling didn't want to give it, but because Zhao Chen obviously had some other ideas.

“You better be more restrained. Although the box is guarded by an array formation that is enough to block the consciousness of the real person, there is no guarantee that there are no beings with special magical powers spying on us…” Zhao Chen patted the round figure that was sitting on his waist, stopping the rhythmic swaying to the music.

Hearing this, Wang Qingling pouted and said with a hint of dissatisfaction: "I didn't see you restrain yourself just now... Come to think of it, you specially chose this dress for me..."

What’s even more outrageous is that this is actually the third piece of clothing she has changed into tonight.

"Okay, the next item is what I need. You can help me take a picture of it later." Zhao Chen patted Qing Ling's roundness again. He secretly felt the feel of her body as she screamed. Then he continued, "I'll provide the seven kinds of spring water for the exchange."

He wanted to use Wang Qingling's identity to suppress possible competitors.

Seeing that they were talking about business, the imperial concubine adjusted her posture, and then pulled down her skirt and said, "Didn't you find so many 'shills' to raise the price when you auctioned the 'Ghost Mailbox' just now, causing King Liang to pay nearly twice the price. He must be holding a grudge and wants to take revenge now."

Zhao Chen arranged the "Strange Mail Box" to be the first item in the auction, and all it required was money, with no other harsh conditions. The warm-up effect was particularly good. Only King Liang was not very happy.

After all, a "strange object" worth less than 20,000 strings of cash was sold at a high price of nearly 40,000 strings of cash. It would be impossible for King Liang to be happy about it.

After letting Wang Qingling get off him, Zhao Chen smiled slyly and said, "He thought I was in Master Liu's private room, so it's only right for you to take the photo."

Master Liu was the guest elder of the Zheng family who was stationed at the Mianchi transmission node. Zhao Chen had indeed entered the other party's box at the invitation of the master, but soon came to Wang Qingling through the formation inside the theater.

Of course, although this can be hidden from King Liang, it certainly cannot be hidden from Master Yuchan, but the latter will most likely not tell the former.

"It's really thanks to Master Liu that he is willing to cover for you..." Wang Qingling waved her hand, and a set of dignified and elegant formal clothes was put on herself, completely hiding the previous semi-transparent gauze dress.

At this time, the music, singing and dancing had temporarily ended. The auctioneer Jin Ruonan, who was wearing a fairy-style off-shoulder dress and had a proud figure, stepped onto the auction stage again and began to display the so-called "meteorite iron".

Then, after obtaining temporary permission from the "Xuan Du Law Text", the spiritual consciousness broke through the prescribed restrictions and scanned the collection back and forth.

"'Meteorite iron' can be used as the main material for magical instruments. I want to exchange it for one bottle of each of the seven kinds of treasure springs of the Sima family. Those who can provide all of them will be given priority.

"If any of the treasure springs are missing, materials with corresponding effects will be needed to replace them, and the highest bidder will win." Jin Ruonan said calmly after the interested cultivators checked them. After hearing this transaction condition, the cultivators present were silent for a while. After all, basically no one would carry the seven treasure springs of the Sima family with them. Even the Sima clan members mostly only carried a few.

Generally speaking, for items with specified conditions, the auction house should reveal some information in advance.

So, without any surprises at all, this piece of "meteorite" was easily taken down by Wang Qingling.

She opened a corner of the formation in the box, sent out seven bottles of precious spring water, and put away the meteorite. Then she closed the box again to prevent anyone from peeking.

Prince Liang, who was in the box on the other side, glanced at the masked concubine, but ultimately did not take any additional action.

However, his teacher "Master Yuchan" looked at Wang Qingling a few more times with a playful smile on his face.

As the incarnation of a Buddhist from the "Joyful Lineage", he discovered the inconsistency beneath the imperial concubine's dignified appearance, but "Master Yuchan" had no intention of exposing it.

Instead, he stood up and said to King Liang beside him: "Let's go, you get the location information from the mysterious man as soon as possible, and we can take over the fourth secret realm as soon as possible."

King Liang was surprised and asked, "Teacher, don't you want to observe Zhao Chen's background?"

In fact, Master Yuchan had planned to go and "see" Zhao Chen since he first came to Beijing, but he was always delayed for various reasons, and he has not had the chance to meet him until now.

"There's no need for that. He's just a small character who has inherited the legacy of Joyful Bodhisattva and can't control his desires." Master Yuchan waved his hand and walked out of the box first.

Although King Liang did not understand why his teacher changed his mind, he still called on the newly recruited priests to leave the theater together.

At the same time, in another top box, Princess Liang cursed with a low laugh: "As expected of your Majesty's man, he even fooled Master Yuchan.

"He probably never thought that the relationship between Zhao Chen and the imperial concubine was tacitly approved by the emperor."

……

Inside the palace, the Emperor and Concubine Ning, who were also paying attention to this matter, also breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, Zhao Chen's identity and background are special. If Yuchan really observes him carefully, she might be able to notice something and then guess the emperor's plan.

"However, Zhao Chen should be blessed with the power of destiny, which allows him to avoid a head-on encounter with 'Master Yuchan' before a certain point in time." Although Concubine Ning is not very powerful, her vision is high enough.

The emperor nodded slightly, acknowledging his lover's idea, and added: "This force of destiny is somewhat similar to the 'Star God Jiaotian', but it is different in nature..."

……

At the same time, Zhao Chen, who had collected the "Meteorite from outer space", was thinking in his heart:
"Avoid the Jade Toad during the day and summon ghosts... Hey, it turns out that the real meaning of this sentence is not to let me avoid the Jade Toad during the day... but that after I have the ability to summon ghosts, I will not face him before the subsequent 'Summoning Qingling'!"
