Chapter 194 Suffered a Great Loss
After regaining her balance, Tao Tao saw the man slowly walking out of the woods. He was dressed in a black robe that fluttered in the wind, his silver hair flowing freely. He was extremely beautiful, and his red eyes, filled with a smile, gently fell on Tao Tao, making her both surprised and delighted.
"Feng Qi!" she exclaimed excitedly, then realized she shouldn't be so happy, and quickly composed herself, asking softly, "What are you doing here? Did you cause the trade fair to turn out like that?"
"I was just stretching my muscles, who knew their young master would be so serious, of course I have to give him some face."
Feng Qi spoke so casually, as if the trade fair's downfall was unintentional on his part. And what did he mean by "just stretching his muscles"? The trade fair was almost destroyed by him, and so many people died. Only someone with his level of cultivation would be so indifferent.
"Where is that young master from the trade fair? They all seem to be looking for him, and the four guardians have all been mobilized. Aren't you afraid to stay here...?"
Are you worried about me?
The air stirred slightly as Feng Qi arrived with a gentle breeze, instantly appearing before Tao Tao. His eyebrows curved slightly as he chuckled and approached, forcing Tao Tao to instinctively back away, bumping her back against a tree trunk. She glanced back at him, then turned to look at Feng Qi, swallowing hard. "It's not that I'm worried."
He's so powerful, why would anyone need to worry about him? A Nascent Soul cultivator is no match for him, so it's a bit ridiculous for a Foundation Establishment cultivator like her to worry about him.
"You want this thing?" Feng Qi wasn't angry when he saw Tao Tao's somewhat distant look. He opened his hand, and an exquisite jade box appeared in his palm. Wasn't that the box that held the Liuxian Lotus Platform at the auction?
Tao Tao was now able to control her spiritual power on her own. She scanned it with her divine sense and found that it really was the Liuxian Lotus Platform. She was overjoyed and almost jumped up from the ground.
"For me?" she asked innocently yet boldly, which made Feng Qi feel a little incredulous. This girl really dares to say anything. Who else would dare to be so straightforward? They probably wouldn't even be able to cautiously probe.
Feng Qi narrowed his eyes and said calmly, "This thing cost me two hundred thousand spirit stones."
Tao Tao replied with a blank look, "I can transfer it to you, you won't lose out."
Feng Qi raised an eyebrow. "Do you think I'd be short of spirit stones?"
"Then..." It seems that spirit stones can't solve the problem. For Tao Tao, using spirit stones would be the best solution, but given Feng Qi's cultivation level, spirit stones are indeed not that appealing.
But besides spirit stones, what else is worth exchanging for?
Tao Tao was now completely bewildered. It seemed that Feng Qi didn't really care about the Liuxian Lotus Platform. If that was the case, why did he insist on competing with her in the first place? Was it just to make her compromise?
"I made it very clear what I wanted from the beginning. How come you've forgotten so quickly?"
At this point, Feng Qi's eyes darkened, revealing a hint of coldness that made Tao Tao feel inexplicably dangerous. Spending some time with this person almost made her forget that he was a demonic cultivator who had stepped into the Nascent Soul Realm. Being complacent would ultimately harm her.
"I've said it before, I will never be anyone's spirit pet!" Even though she knew the other party's strength, just thinking about his purpose made Tao Tao furious, and she had no intention of compromising whatsoever.
"Never mind then, this thing has nothing to do with you anymore."
Feng Qi didn't seem surprised by her words. Just as he was about to put the jade box away, Tao Tao suddenly stopped him, saying, "Wait a minute, I have other treasures I can exchange with you, which will definitely benefit you!"
"Oh?" Actually, Feng Qi didn't think Tao Tao could bring out any interesting treasures, but since she said so, it wouldn't hurt to take a look. After all, she had quite a few surprises on her, and it wouldn't be a loss if she really had some treasures.
Seeing his interest, Tao Tao quickly touched his storage bracelet and took out a Qinglan Fruit. As soon as the fruit appeared, a surge of pure spiritual energy came out, which even shocked Feng Qi.
This thing definitely doesn't exist in the human world!
"You want to exchange it?" Feng Qi was greatly surprised. This thing was much more useful than the Liuxian Lotus Platform, and it was definitely not an ordinary item. Even if one reached the Nascent Soul Realm, it would be of great use. In fact, even with his current cultivation level, he dared not consume it easily, for fear that he would explode and die.
Tao Tao nodded repeatedly. Although she was a little reluctant, she was willing to risk anything as long as Bai Yan could recover. She asked in a small voice, "Are you willing?"
Feng Qi was very surprised by these words. She had already brought out such a treasure, yet she still asked him if he was willing. How many people could refuse? Of course, he would not admit this. He pretended to hesitate and thought for a moment before raising his eyes, crossing his arms, and saying indifferently, "I am willing, but it's not enough."
"Not enough?" Tao Tao tilted her head. She wasn't stupid. The Qinglan Fruit was a treasure of the world. No one in the human realm could produce it except her. If this wasn't enough, what would she want?
"Two hundred thousand spirit stones plus this immortal fruit." Seeing Tao Tao hesitate, Feng Qi said this directly, clearly not wanting to suffer any loss.
Tao Tao was shocked. This person was really good at inflating prices. But thinking about it carefully, she did need the Liuxian Lotus Platform. She had already given him the Qinglan Fruit, so giving him another 200,000 spirit stones seemed acceptable.
After a while, Tao Tao blinked and looked at Feng Qi, "You have to keep your word, you can't go back on your word."
She was afraid that Feng Qi would kill someone to steal the treasure after getting it, and then take away the Liuxian Lotus Platform. His cultivation was so high that even if she brought out all her treasures, she couldn't compare.
"If I break my word, what can you do? Besides, if I really wanted to take the treasure, you would already be a corpse by now." Feng Qi's voice was indifferent, and his eyes were particularly calm, but his words had a strange sense of intimidation. Tao Tao swallowed and felt that he was right. If Feng Qi really wanted to attack her, why would he wait until now? Crushing her would be as easy as crushing an ant.
After thinking for a moment, Tao Tao silently presented the Qinglan fruit.
When Feng Qi saw the Qinglan Fruit, a hint of surprise flashed in his red eyes, but it disappeared in an instant. He quickly took the Qinglan Fruit away, raised his hand and tossed the jade box to Tao Tao. He looked as if he didn't care about the Liuxian Lotus Platform at all, so why did he fight over it in the first place?
Tao Tao was also very excited to receive the Liuxian Lotus Platform. She couldn't wait to use it on Bai Yan to see if it would have any effect, completely forgetting everything else. Seeing that she didn't react for a long time, Feng Qi kindly reminded her and reached out to ask, "Anything else?"
"There's more?" Tao Tao asked, puzzled. After a moment's thought, he realized what was going on and quickly nodded, taking out about 150,000 spirit stones. Feng Qiqing counted them and narrowed his eyes slightly. "Little guy, do you think I can't count?"
Tao Tao protested, "No, that's all I had. The auction items hadn't been settled yet, and who knew that thing would happen at the trade fair..."
Speaking of this, Tao Tao suddenly remembered something. She looked at Feng Qi in disbelief, "That's not right. Something happened at the trade fair, and the auction was canceled. How did you get the Liuxian Lotus Platform?"
"What's it to you? Why are you asking so many questions? What, you don't want it anymore? Then give it back."
Feng Qi was always good at twisting the truth. Despite his high cultivation level, he acted like a child, speechless and unable to return the Liuxian Lotus Platform. He could only swallow his anger, but he didn't want to let it go, so he muttered, "Then I lost 200,000..."
"It's 150,000. Don't think that the 50,000 is less. I'll come back to you to get it back when I'm in a good mood. You'd better prepare enough spirit stones."
With that, Feng Qi waved his flute, and the 150,000 spirit stones were stored in his storage bracelet. Then, he vanished without a trace, leaving Tao Tao completely dumbfounded. He truly came and went without a trace...
Regardless, she achieved her goal.
