God of Pets-Chapter 618: The Rules of Mei City

When Chen Guan returned to the VIP room, he was still contemplating Qing Ya's proposal.

"This woman is incredibly audacious, wanting to seize the foundation of the God Martial King while he uses the dragon blood grass. She's truly ruthless and vicious," Chen Guan thought to himself.

He didn't find anything wrong with this; after all, demons and humans were natural enemies. If Qing Ya succeeded, it wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing for humans.

However, Chen Guan doubted whether Qing Ya had the ability to steal the Secret Law of the True Dragon Emperor from the God Martial King.

Yet, Chen Guan did not agree to Qing Ya's terms, only saying he would consider it.

If Chen Guan could win the dragon blood grass at the auction, then Qing Ya's plan to steal the Secret Law of the True Dragon Emperor would be unnecessary, and there would be no need to collaborate with her.

If Chen Guan failed to obtain the dragon blood grass, collaborating with Qing Ya afterwards would not be too late.

Chen Guan thought it was best to secure the dragon blood grass; then, Ghost Eye's Seventh Sense would have a lead. With its Dragon Emperor Bloodline, the dragon blood grass would undoubtedly be of great benefit, perhaps even helping to manifest the Secret Law of the True Dragon Emperor.

While Chen Guan was pondering, the auction had already started.

Initially, the auction items were not from Jin Taohua. Although those items were good, they were just appetizers.

The transaction prices were generally in the tens of thousands, the highest reaching only about twenty thousand.

After a few rounds, items on the invitation list finally went up for auction, and it quickly reached the Yuanling Witch that Chen Guan desired.

The Yuanling Witch was locked in a special cage, looking like a witch Secret Spirit dressed in a black cloak.

The starting price was fifty thousand, and after a few rounds, it increased to two hundred thousand.

The Yuanling Witch was, after all, just a Yuanling Witch, with a low likelihood of yielding the Reverse Element Skill, so its value was not as high as imagined.

"Bid on that for me," Chen Guan said to Ximen Bing.

"What do you want the Yuanling Witch for? The pet chance isn't high, two hundred thousand is rather expensive," Ximen Bing replied.

"Just bid on it, no matter the cost, we must get the Yuanling Witch," Chen Guan knew that the odds of the Yuanling Witch yielding a pet or Secret Skill were low, but he had to try his luck.

Ximen Bing reluctantly raised the bid to 250,000, but someone still competed with her. Ultimately, Ximen Bing secured the Yuanling Witch for 290,000. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

The money naturally came from Ximen Bing; the Flying Immortal Sword was worth far more than that.

The auction continued, and they saw many good items, but some required bartering, not just money.

Participants could write down what they wished to exchange and send it to the auction item owner, who decided the exchange.

Chen Guan didn't make any more bids until the grand finale, the dragon blood grass went on auction, and Chen Guan participated again.

All bidders for the dragon blood grass had trays brought by attendants, with paper and pen inside. They wrote down what they wished to exchange for the dragon blood grass, and the attendant took it to the auction item's owner.

This was only the first round. If not selected in the first round, they could continue to augment their offers.

Or if the auction item owner didn't see anything they wanted or felt the value was insufficient, it could go unsold.

Chen Guan wrote down the names of some Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, trying to exchange them for the dragon blood grass, but he knew his chances were slim.

Though the treasures he offered were highly valuable, even money couldn't buy them, what the God Martial King proposed was difficult to refuse.

Indeed, his proposal wasn't selected, and unsurprisingly, the God Martial King's bid won.

Chen Guan felt frustrated. If not in this VIP room, maybe Jin Taohua seeing his situation would offer a chance.

Chen Guan and Ximen Bing paid to retrieve the Yuanling Witch. Chen Guan immediately killed it to avoid future hassle.

Unfortunately, it was a huge disappointment; not only did it not yield the Reverse Element Skill, there wasn't even a single hair, and the money was wasted.

"Directly buying a Secret Skill is more reliable," Chen Guan thought quietly.

The two left the building, and upon exiting the venue, they saw the God Martial King and his entourage waiting for them outside.

"If you submit to me now, I can spare your life," the God Martial King said calmly.

"If you submit to me, I can spare your life too," Ximen Bing retorted.

"This is your last chance, and the last mercy I offer," the God Martial King remained calm, not showing anger.

"Keep your mercy; if you have the guts, go ahead, stop wasting words," Ximen Bing fearlessly challenged, knowing the God Martial King dared not act in Mei City.

"What do you say?" The God Martial King ignored Ximen Bing and asked Chen Guan.

"Didn't my Ninth Concubine already tell you? If you have the courage, do it," Chen Guan replied with a smile.

"I offer you a chance to live, and you don't cherish it. You'll regret it later," the God Martial King remarked.

Ximen Bing thought the God Martial King was bluffing and was about to leave when she saw two uniformed, human-bodied, snake-tailed Secret Spirits approaching.

"Esteemed guest, Mei City is unable to host you temporarily. Please, you need to leave now," one Secret Spirit said to Chen Guan.

Ximen Bing's face changed instantly upon hearing this: "What do you mean? We haven't broken Mei City's rules; why are we being asked to leave?"

"Miss Ximen, you may remain, but this gentleman must leave now," the Secret Spirit replied.

"Wasn't Mei City's rule that as long as the rules are followed, anyone can stay as long as they want? What did he do to be expelled?" Ximen Bing looked accusingly at the God Martial King, knowing it was his doing.

"I told you, there would be a time you'd regret. Now, it's too late," the God Martial King said to Chen Guan.

Chen Guan looked at the two Secret Spirits: "Mei City's rules state that abiding by the rules allows one to stay as long as they wish. You should specify which rule I broke before expelling me."

"Mei City has its methods and doesn't need to explain to anyone. Please leave," the Secret Spirit replied expressionlessly.

"And if I refuse?" Chen Guan asked calmly.

"Then we'll just have to escort you out," the two Secret Spirits implied they would forcibly expel Chen Guan if necessary.

Ximen Bing tugged at Chen Guan's sleeve, signaling him not to resist the Secret Spirits of Mei City.

Having a feud with the God Martial King was already troublesome enough; confronting Mei City might prevent them from even leaving.
