Full-Time Magister: Crimson Lion, the Strongest Divine Soul!

Chapter 118 Goodbye Asha'ruya, Monarch-level Corpse!

Zhao Manyan led Li Xuan and Mo Fan into the Saint Mark World Auction Hall.

"Your brother is really funny." Mo Fan finally couldn't help but laugh.

"It is indeed quite interesting." Li Xuan nodded in agreement.

But he saw things much more clearly than Mo Fan. Zhao Youqian was cunning and had very stable control over his emotions and feelings.

He is far more suited to be a profit-driven businessman than Zhao Manyan, but that's about it.

He cannot be the head of a clan.

If the Zhao family wants to reach a higher level, such business acumen alone is far from enough.

A clan leader must have a certain vision and strength in order to lead the clan forward.

Zhao Youqian lacks both of these qualities, and what makes an ordinary person with insufficient background capable of leading a clan?

How could those super-powerful beings possibly obey?

"What's the point? They're always messing with his business."

While complaining, Zhao Manyan led Li Xuan and Mo Fan through the magnificent Saint Mark's World Auction Hall.

Along the way, there was a constant stream of exquisite and luxurious decorations and well-dressed bidders.

The door to VIP Room No. 1 slowly opened, revealing a spacious and elegant interior. Soft leather sofas, crystal chandeliers, and priceless artworks hanging on the walls all exuded its prestige.

"Please have a seat. I'll go and urge them to get VIP Room Number Two ready," Zhao Manyan said before hurrying away.

As soon as Li Xuan and Mo Fan sat down, a beautiful waitress in uniform brought them fragrant tea and exquisite snacks.

Mo Fan casually picked up a pastry and stuffed it into his mouth, mumbling, "This place is really particular."

"good."

Li Xuan picked up his teacup, took a small sip, and looked out the window at the sky.

Zhao Youqian and the others were Asha Ruya; that top-tier lightning seed was indeed quite good.

Unfortunately, he couldn't use it.

Not long after, Zhao Manyan returned, but his eyes held a hint of excitement.

"Old Zhao, what did you see that made you so excited?" Mo Fan looked at Zhao Manyan, who kept turning back to look at him, somewhat surprised.

"My brother's honored guest is a beauty. So he's the type to prioritize women over friends. Is he secretly a pervert?" Zhao Manyan said with great certainty.

"Oh, what kind of beauty?" Mo Fan also became interested.

Li Xuan, however, remained calm.

Saint Azharia of Parthenon is undoubtedly a rare and unparalleled beauty.

"Would you like to take a look? I can open the window; they're next door," Zhao Manyan said.

"Look!" Mo Fan exclaimed.

"Boss, what about you?" Zhao Manyan felt a little guilty when he saw Li Xuan with a half-smile on his face.

"Let's just go straight there. Maybe I know that person," Li Xuan said with a smile.

When Zhao Manyan heard Li Xuan's words, a hint of surprise flashed across his face, but it was quickly replaced by excitement.

"Boss, you know him? That's great! Let's go over there and meet him."

With that, he led the way toward the VIP room next door.

The three arrived at the door of the VIP room next door. Zhao Manyan raised his hand and knocked on the door. Before there was any response from inside, he casually pushed the door open.

Inside the VIP room, Zhao Youqian was sitting opposite a woman with her back to the door. Her long, flowing black hair cascaded down to her slender waist, and she wore a well-tailored long dress, exuding elegance and nobility.

Hearing the door suddenly open, she turned her head slightly, revealing a profile as white as mutton fat jade, with a cool and aloof air about her.

"Asha, it's been a long time," Li Xuan said with a smile.

When Asha Ruya heard Li Xuan's voice, her body stiffened slightly. She then slowly stood up, turned around, and stared directly at Li Xuan.

Her eyes were like the deep night sky, dark yet radiating a mysterious light, but at this moment a complex emotion flashed across them.

"Li Xuan, I didn't expect to meet you here."

Asha's voice was clear and melodious, like a mountain spring.

Zhao Youqian frowned slightly when he saw Li Xuan and the others arrive uninvited, but quickly regained his smile.

"Captain Li Xuan, what's going on here...?"

"Brother Youqian, do you mind if we chat together?" Li Xuan said, and without waiting for Zhao Youqian's reply, he walked over and sat down on the sofa.

Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan sat down as well, with Mo Fan muttering under his breath, "It's actually her."

"You know him?" Zhao Manyan asked, turning his head.

"We met once in the ancient capital."

"..."

Asharuya sat down again, but her gaze never left Li Xuan.

"You came here also because of the Thunder Seed?" Asha'ruya cut straight to the point.

"The Thunder Seed isn't very useful to me." Li Xuan shook his head slightly. "I came here because I have something else I'd like to discuss with Brother Youqian. But since we've run into each other, I've come to ask about the opportunity you mentioned earlier."

"Opportunities will naturally arise, but you need to do me a favor first." Asha's eyebrows were slightly raised.

"Okay." Li Xuan nodded. "Also, I'll keep the information about your soul seed."

"No problem, this can be part of your payment for helping me." Asha'sya nodded slightly.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Youqian's expression stiffened. "Asha Ruya, you..."

"I never agreed to a deal with you," Asha'ruya interrupted him, saying calmly, "Give up, you have no chance of getting that soul seed."

"Even without Li Xuan, I would not agree to make a deal with you."

This blunt rejection made Zhao Youqian's face turn ashen, while Zhao Manyan, standing to the side, chuckled gloatingly.

"Li Xuan, are you free to help me tomorrow?" Asha Ruya ignored Zhao Youqian and looked at Li Xuan.

"Sure." Li Xuan nodded, then looked at Zhao Youqian and said, "Brother Youqian, could you help me auction these off?"

As he spoke, he took out a small pendant and gently placed it on the table.

The pendant was engraved with silver runes and emitted a faint silver light.

"What is this?" Zhao Youqian was, after all, a businessman, and his profit-driven mentality made him very curious about this.

"You can take a look," Li Xuan said, gesturing for him to feel free to do so.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Youqian immediately sent someone in to check the contents of the spatial pendant.

"My lord, there are four monarch-level corpses here, and they are very well preserved," the old man said in shock.

Upon hearing what the old man said, the shock on Zhao Youqian's face was instantly replaced by ecstatic joy.

Monarch-level corpses are extremely rare, each containing precious materials, and their value is immeasurable.

Four complete monarch-level corpses are enough to cause a huge stir in the auction.

"Captain Li Xuan, this...this is truly an amazing treasure!"

Zhao Youqian's voice trembled slightly, and his eyes were full of eagerness and awe as he looked at Li Xuan.

Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan, who were standing nearby, were also speechless with shock at the news.

Although they knew beforehand that their boss had monarch-level demon corpses to auction off, they never expected there to be four!

Zhao Youqian composed himself and tried to recover from his excitement. As a seasoned businessman, he quickly estimated the price in his mind.

"Captain Li Xuan, if these four monarch-level corpses were auctioned off, they could fetch at least this much!"

He offered a price that made everyone present gasp in astonishment.

"Wow, this is so valuable! Boss, you can just casually pull out a fortune that others couldn't earn in several lifetimes!" Mo Fan couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
