--- Chapter 148 ---

As Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong walked out of Yunlong's room, Ning Rongrong's pale face immediately greeted them, which caused them to panic.

"Rongrong! What happened?!" Ning Fengzhi kneeled in front of his daughter and checked her condition but found nothing weird.

"D-Daddy, I'm scared. D-Devil..." Ning Rongrong whispered while hugging Ning Fengzhi's body because her mind literally in chaos after getting a slight tickle of spiritual attack from Yunlong.

Ning Fengzhi frowned a little and hugged her back, looking at Yu Xiaogang and Flender with a skeptical gaze.

"We didn't do anything to her, she's suddenly shaking like that, and we tried to calm her down, but it won't work." Flender truthfully answered.

"Spiritual attack." Gu Rong suddenly affirmed while gently patting Ning Rongrong's head.

"I sensed a faint spiritual energy in her head..." He quietly continued with a solemn expression.

Ning Fengzhi's eyes widened for a moment because Ning Rongrong was always on his side, and he didn't sense any spiritual energy reaching her.

'Until we got separated!' Ning Fengzhi hurriedly looked back at Yunlong's room door.

'It's him, but how did he do it..?' He thought while feeling something weird about this situation.

Ning Fengzhi couldn't sense anything at the time, so this could only happen when he parted from Ning Rongrong, but Yunlong didn't even make any contact with her.

Of course, Ning Fengzhi couldn't sense anything because Yunlong's spiritual attack activated with simple eye contact, which consumed almost zero percent of his spiritual energy.

Moreover, Ning Rongrong's mind defense is weak like thin paper, so Yunlong could easily penetrate her mind or even kill her, but he won't do it because she is a convenient pawn that he could use.

"Fengzhi, Let's go back first," Gu Rong suddenly patted Ning Fengzhi's shoulder, which woke him up from his deep thought.

Ning Fenzhi sighed and nodded his head at Gu Rong, walking away from the auction house to go back to their clan.

"Well, I'll see them later, I guess." Yunlong casually commented while standing in front of the window, seeing Ning Fengzhi's carriage moved away from this place.

Yunlong shook his head a little and looked around, noticing an unusual couple walking out of the auction house, but what made him interested was the woman's hair color.

'That hair color is just like Bai Xue's hair… Bright red like a ripe apple.' Yunlong thought while looking at the red-haired woman.

'Should I tell Bai Xue about this?' He continued while moving his gaze to Bai Xue, who is busy with her new creation.

"Hmm? Do you need something, young master?" Bai Xue suddenly responded because she noticed Yunlong's gaze.

"Nothing." Yunlong smiled a little.

"Is that so? Then, do you want to try my new pill?" Bai Xue excitedly asked while taking out a white pill from a green porcelain vial.

Yunlong glanced at the white pill and nodded his head, which caused Bai Xue to smile at him.

Bai Xue excitedly approached Yunlong and fed him the pill while staring at his eyes.

"How was it?" Bai Xue asked with a hopeful tone.

Yunlong gave a thoughtful expression for a moment because he didn't sense any reaction, but his abdomen suddenly felt warm, and his spirit energy warmed a little.

"Hmm?" Yunlong frowned a little because he felt his body strength increased slightly.

"What's the effect of this pill? I could feel my strength increasing, but it's not only that, right?" He asked while looking at Bai Xue, who smiled widely with pride.

"Hehe, my pill name is Spirit Force Pill. It warms someone's spirit energy and enhances their body's strength." Bai Xue answered while raising her nose.

"Not only that, but it also slowly condensed someone's spirit energy, so they could easily break through to the next level or realm." She hurriedly continued to explain another effect of her creation.

Yunlong was baffled by her excitement when explaining the pill and couldn't help himself but chuckle for a moment.

He stared at her with a gentle gaze and calmly asked, "Bai Xue, do you want to go back to your home and meet your parents?"

"Eh? Why did you suddenly ask me that, young master?" Bai Xue responded with a surprised expression because she didn't expect him to ask such a question.

"Just asking," Yunlong said while shrugging his shoulders, which caused Bai Xue to stare at him with a speechless expression.

Bai Xue became awfully quiet for a second and looked at Yunlong with a firm gaze.

"I don't want to meet them... I only want to be always by your side, young master." She firmly stated with a genuine yet gentle expression.

Even though Bai Xue knew the arranged marriage was to protect her family's territory. She couldn't help but always felt afraid every time, remembering her life was controlled by someone else.

'That's why I run... I don't want to marry that guy. I want to be free.' Bai Xue felt her heart tightened a little while remembering the heated talks with her parents.

Bai Xue's body trembled a bit, and Yunlong immediately patted her head to soothe her because it looked like he triggered an unnecessary thing.

"It's okay. I'm here." Yunlong gently said, and Bai Xue snapped out of her thoughts.

She looked around for a moment and noticed Yunlong's gentle gaze on her, which caused her to release a sigh of relief.

"Um... Can I hug you, young master?" Bai Xue suddenly requested with a hopeful expression.

Yunlong only nodded his head, and Bai Xue immediately lunged at him, not aware the other maids looked at them with a darkened expression, especially Yu Ning'er.

'That apple head...' Yu Ning'er thought while gritting her teeth in jealousy.

Well, Chu Xiaoyu and Chu Yunxi didn't really have many expressions on their faces and only calmly stared at this scene.

On the other side, Zhu Zhuqing adorably pouted a little and swayed her head away while munching her biscuit.

'Hmm, I'll also hug Yunlong too later.' Zhu Zhuqing vowed in her heart.

The hug lasted for a minute, and Bai Xue released herself from Yunlong after feeling calm.

"T-Thank you, young master." Bai Xue bowed her head a little.

"Mm." Yunlong gently patted Bai Xue's head.

"Let's go back." He moved his gaze to other maids, and they nodded their heads at him.

They went out of the auction house, but Xiao Xun suddenly stopped in front of them.

"What's the matter?" Yunlong looked at his puppet with a frown.

"Be careful, young master. Someone might attack you later." Xiao Xun warned with a solemn expression because a few guests in the auction hall should have guessed Yunlong's connection with the pills.

They also might become greedy about Yunlong's wealth just because of how he blatantly bid in the auction before.

'Oh, you don't have to worry about that.' Yunlong casually sent a sound transmission to Xiao Xun.

'I have sensed a few flies.' He bluntly added with a calm yet cold expression.

Xiao Xun responded with a surprised expression, but he nodded his head because he understood what his master meant by flies.

After a brief talk, Yunlong and his maids went into the city while a few people silently followed them from the darkness.

They entered a dead-end alley and calmly waited for a few people to come.

"It's you, huh," Yunlong said while looking at the young man, who had shouted a few times in the auction hall.

"Nice to meet you, Xiao Yan, right?" The young man grinned at Yunlong.

"Just said what do you want from me?" Yunlong casually responded with a sigh.

"Well, Well, looks like you are smart, huh." The young man chuckled while clapping his hand, causing several black-clothed men to surround them from all directions.

"I won't say anything fancy. Just give me the method to remove the Evil Moon Grass's poison and all of your belongings." He arrogantly added like Yunlong's life was in his grasp.

"Heh, what if I don't want to?" Yunlong casually asked.

"I'll kill you and take everything by myself," The young man coldly answered while moving his gaze to Yunlong's maids.

"Especially those beautiful maids... Hehehe! I'll gladly enjoy them in my bed-"

Bam! Crack!

He couldn't even finish his words because Yunlong had planted his face onto the ground.

"How funny..." Yunlong silently commented with a bright smile on his face.

Everyone in the area immediately bent their knees and looked at Yunlong with a horrified expression, noticing a long black scythe suddenly had appeared in his hand.

"Hey... Could you say it one more time? What do you want to do with my maids?" Yunlong asked the young man below him.

"P-Please..." The young man could feel the reaper stare at him, and death reached his neck.

"D-Don't kill me."

"Blood Drinker..." Yunlong indifferently said while grazing the scythe on the young man's face.

Crimson blood flowed out to the scythe, and the young man felt his body get emptied at a fast pace.

"AAAAARRRRGGGHH!"

[You have killed a spirit elder]

[Mortal Sin: Gluttony Activated]

[You have devoured spirit elder's soul, spirit, and spiritual energy]

[You have obtained Hypnotism]

As the cry faded with system notifications, the other people, who came with the young man, looked at Yunlong with ghastly expressions.

Yunlong glanced at them and grinned, "Your turn."
