After awakening her X-ray vision, the beautiful CEO couldn't sit still any longer.

"Do you think I'm afraid of you?" Murong Xue raised her head proudly.

"Are you sure you want to play with fire?"

As Ye Tian walked out of the restaurant, he pressed Murong Xue's sexy and hot body tightly against his own.

Even through her clothes, Murong Xue could feel the fiery heat emanating from Ye Tian's strong and powerful body, causing her delicate body to tremble involuntarily.

Her usually cool and beautiful face instantly turned so red it looked like it could drip water.

"Let me go! How could you do this in public?"

Murong Xue was used to being a high-and-mighty female CEO, and she felt very uncomfortable being held in Ye Tian's arms in such a shameful and domineering way.

At this moment, even her neck and ears were flushed with a blush.

"You can't even handle this? Who was it that just said they wanted to sleep with me and Yuyan?"

Ye Tian looked at Murong Xue with a wicked smile.

"I only said I'd be with you, not that I'd include her." Murong Xue hurriedly pushed Ye Tian away.

"Honey, do you think I can't satisfy you? Why bring her along?"

Wang Yuyan pressed her curvaceous and soft body against Ye Tian seductively, her expression extremely resentful.

"Don't wrong me. You two said you wanted to sleep with me, I didn't say anything."

Even if Ye Tian had this thought in his heart, he would never admit it.

These two little devils are both incredibly proud, and neither of them is easy to deal with.

"Honey, who do you want to spend the night with?"

Wang Yuyan parted her red lips slightly, her eyes alluring, clearly intending to seduce Ye Tian.

Ye Tian forcefully lifted her stunning face with his fingers and kissed her alluring red lips hard.

"You dare seduce me? You really think I won't dare do anything to you in public?"

"Waaaah, I hate it."

Wang Yuyan's cheeks flushed red, her chest heaved violently, and she felt so weak from Ye Tian's kiss that she almost couldn't stand up.

"Neither of you will give in to the other. If this stalemate continues, none of the three of us will be able to sleep tonight."

How about this, you guys go to the ghost market to help me today, you've been traveling all day and you're all exhausted.

I suggested that everyone stop arguing, go home tonight, and get some rest.

Let's rest up and have another match tomorrow, shall we?

Although they were unwilling, neither Murong Xue nor Wang Yuyan wanted Ye Tian to spend the night with the other.

When you can't see it, you can pretend you don't know.

But with each other right in front of them, they were determined not to let the other get away with it.

There's no other way now but for everyone to go back to their own homes and find their own mothers.

Ye Tian knew that it wouldn't be easy for the two of them to reconcile. He would take it slowly, and they would eventually become as close as sisters!

Ye Tian's belongings are still in the rented apartment; he hasn't had time to move them to the villa.

So Ye Tian had no choice but to go back to his rented room to rest.

After this perilous trip to the ghost market, Ye Tian became acutely aware of his shortcomings.

Although his physical attributes were exceptionally strong after being modified by the Ye family patriarch, the source of his internal power still needed to be improved.

The true energy within his body can be directly converted into power for use.

In other words, the more true energy he has in his body, the stronger he can be.

With this in mind, Ye Tian already had a direction to strive for.

This was his first encounter with the Chen family's shadow guards outside the Ghost Market gate. If they met again, he would absolutely not allow them to have another chance to stop him.

Ye Tian lay on the bed, his body automatically circulating the Xuan Tian Yin Yang True Scripture. He could clearly feel the slender line of true energy within his body growing stronger and stronger.

The next morning.

Ye Tian opened his eyes with renewed vigor and discovered that his internal energy had more than doubled.

"Awesome! My true energy has doubled overnight. Next time I encounter the Chen family's shadow guards, I'll definitely teach them a lesson."

However, Ye Tian felt it was still not enough; the Chen family couldn't possibly have only ten shadow guards.

Even if the Chen family had a hundred shadow guards, his current strength would still be insufficient.

It seems I need to rely on external forces to make myself stronger more quickly.

The most effective way to seek external help is to find a magic pill.

Thinking of this, Ye Tian took out his phone and made a call: "President Shi, good morning. I know you have a wide network of connections. I would like to ask you if you know where I can buy ginseng that is over a hundred years old."

The more the better, and the older the better.

"Oh my, Mr. Ye, a ginseng that's over a hundred years old is a rare and precious thing."

A single plant in good condition with intact roots can fetch tens of millions of yuan at auction.

Nowadays, it's impossible to find genuine century-old wild ginseng in Jiangcheng's pharmacies.

However, a well-known domestic treasure auction will be held in Jiangcheng this afternoon.

I heard that in addition to antiques, calligraphy and paintings, jade and porcelain, there will also be some precious medicinal materials up for auction.

If Mr. Ye is interested, he can try his luck.

"Okay, thank you, Chairman Shi."

Ye Tian had just hung up the phone with Shi Linfeng when his phone rang.

The caller ID showed Murong Xue.

"Ye Tian, ​​are you up yet?"

Murong Xue's cool voice came from the other end of the phone, but it seemed to have a hint of tenderness that was less noticeable than usual.

"Just woke up, what's wrong, missed me?" Ye Fan teased in a relaxed tone.

"Ye Tian, ​​there's a treasure auction this afternoon. Could you come with me?"

Murong Xue paused slightly before explaining again:

"Ye Tian, ​​some of my mother's old belongings may appear at the auction."

I've seen the auction catalog, and that sapphire necklace is one that my mother has worn since I can remember. There's absolutely no way I could mistake it for something else.

I don't know why I was at the afternoon auction.

But I absolutely cannot let it fall into someone else's hands.

"Ye Tian, ​​can you come with me?"

Murong Xue asked again.

Her tone was very restrained, but Ye Tian could hear the undercurrent of emotion beneath the calm.

Murong Xue's mother died early, and the Murong family has complicated relationships and constant infighting, as Ye Tian had already known.

This necklace is probably a symbol of Murong Xue's emotional attachment to her deceased mother, which is why Murong Xue is determined to obtain it no matter the cost.

"Murong Xue, I'll go to the auction with you. Don't worry, with me here, there won't be any problems."

Ye Tian was going to the auction to buy precious medicinal herbs anyway, and he would have gone even if Murong Xue hadn't said anything.

However, Ye Tian was worried about one thing: why did this sapphire necklace appear now instead of earlier?

Could this be a conspiracy?

Even if it's a conspiracy, Ye Tian will still go.

If you don't enter a tiger's den, you can't get a tiger's son!

"Ye Tian, ​​thank you, it's so good to know you!"

Murong Xue's voice sounded much more relaxed on the other end of the phone.

Whenever she needed help, Ye Tian would always help her without hesitation.

The fact that Ye Tian is attending a top-tier domestic treasure auction with her means that, to some extent, Ye Tian will have to face both overt and covert attacks from various parties together.

But Ye Tian didn't ask any questions and agreed immediately.

With Ye Tian's intelligence, how could he not have imagined that this was likely a scheme set up against Murong Xue?

But Ye Tian didn't care what kind of enemy they faced; just because she spoke up, Ye Tian stood by her side unconditionally.

This trust speaks louder than a thousand words.

"Ye Tian, ​​I'll have Rongrong pick you up later."

I'll have the invitations and dress prepared in advance. See you later.
