Chapter 1211 Ning Ruan: I'm afraid you can't afford it.
The auctioneer's forehead was covered in even more sweat.
He looked at Long Li, then at Ning Ruan's room, unsure of what to do.
If he were only a member of the Jiao clan, he wouldn't be in such a state.
After all, this passenger boat belongs to the Illusionary Tong Clan.
No matter what, the Jiao Clan shouldn't cause trouble on the Huan Tong Clan's passenger ship.
But that one was different...
The name Long Lingzhu means that, let alone causing trouble, as long as she doesn't completely destroy the Huan Tong Clan, nothing will happen to her.
For nothing else.
It was only because she had a mother who had become an immortal.
Moreover, the time he ascended to immortality is the most recent one.
He became an immortal ten years ago.
She also has a twin sister who is also destined for immortality, possesses exceptional talent, and is clearly destined to become an immortal as well.
Even setting aside these matters, she also had her maternal grandfather, a powerful figure in the Jiaolong clan.
In short, this is someone you shouldn't mess with.
Silence reigned below.
Upon hearing the name Long Lingzhu, even the transmission of voice became much less frequent.
They were afraid that they might anger this madman if they weren't careful.
Upon hearing these words, the Hundred Flowers Clan cultivator in the cage on the platform turned even paler than before, shrinking into a corner of the cage and trembling.
Ning Ruan was still munching on the spirit fruit.
Xiao Hong shook the sword, and her childish voice rang out: "He said that the Hundred Flowers Clan belongs to them."
"I heard."
"Will the owner still buy it?"
"Buy it, why not buy it?"
"But he said they belong to them."
"Just because he says it's theirs, it's theirs?" Ning Ruan blinked. "Then if I say this passenger ship is mine, it's mine?"
Xiao Hong was silent for a moment, then said seriously, "Master is right, they are bad."
Ning Ruan nodded in satisfaction, "And what about me?"
Xiao Hong continued, "They are bad, but the master is good."
It was probably because there had been no response from this side for a long time.
The burly man from the Jiao clan quickly ran out of patience.
His tone also carried a hint of impatience, "What exactly is the meaning of this fellow Daoist's words? Why don't you come out and meet him?"
"You think I'll just pay if you tell me to?" Ning Ruan asked slowly.
The moment her clear voice was uttered, the restriction completely masked her true voice.
Long Li frowned, his voice noticeably lowering, "Then, Fellow Daoist, are you willing to part with the Hundred Flowers Clan?"
"Is this how you ask for favors?" Ning Ruan said, "I don't like this attitude at all."
Long Li's tone was cold and deep, "Fellow Daoist, are you determined to make things difficult for my young master?"
“If you think so, then it is.” Ning Ruan responded to every word.
Long Li: "..."
Having followed the young master for many years, this was the first time he had encountered someone who dared to be so disrespectful upon hearing the young master's name.
"You're hiding your identity; do you dare to reveal it?"
“Shadow Clan, Wang Wu,” Ning Ruan announced loudly.
Long Li: "?"
He seemed to have heard a joke, "You can't be Wang Wu. He's barely able to take care of himself right now, how could he possibly have a chance to leave the Shadow Clan?"
Ning Ruan said, "Then I am Wang Yi."
"..." Long Li's aura surged violently. "Nonsense! Wang Yi has been dead for over a hundred years. Are you Wang Yi? Did he reincarnate as you?"
Ning Ruan replied, "Yes, so what?"
The voice was flat and emotionless, yet it was more piercing than any deliberate mockery.
"..." Long Li was clearly unable to withstand such provocation. Veins bulged on his forehead, and his killing intent almost materialized. "Have you thought this through? Do you really want to be an enemy of my Jiaolong clan?"
"According to the rules of the auction, the highest bidder wins." Ning Ruan's voice was neither loud nor soft, but it clearly carried throughout the entire venue. "I bid 15,000 top-grade spirit stones. If your young master can afford a higher price, I will naturally give it to him."
"If we can't afford it..."
She paused slightly, a hint of amusement in her voice: "Then let's do it the rules. What, is it that your Jiao clan's young master... can't afford it?"
Long Li's face was extremely gloomy: "Do you know who my young master is?"
He had completely abandoned any pretense of tact and restraint, his tone filled with undisguised threat: "No one has ever dared to steal anything belonging to my young master."
"Oh?" Ning Ruan tilted her head. "Then today is a precedent."
"presumptuous!"
Long Li roared angrily.
He can't have an attack yet—
"Dragon Power".
A delicate, sweet female voice suddenly rang out.
The voice wasn't loud, but it instantly extinguished the anger in Long Li's heart.
His massive body stiffened abruptly, and he immediately bowed and stepped aside, all his anger completely gone, leaving only absolute respect.
The VIP room door behind them slid open silently at that moment.
A figure leaned against the door frame and slowly walked out.
She was an extremely beautiful woman, wearing a dazzling crimson dress embroidered with coiled dragons in dark gold thread, which shimmered with light as she moved.
She had the same human appearance, a beautiful face, slightly upturned phoenix eyes, and a pair of small, pale golden dragon horns on her forehead, which added to her inhuman nobility.
Her gaze swept across the room with interest, finally settling precisely on Ning Ruan's room, and a slow smile appeared on her lips.
"interesting."
"It's been a long time since I've met such an interesting person."
Long Lingzhu's voice carried a lazy sweetness, but the moment they saw her appear, most of the cultivators below felt a jolt in their hearts.
It really is that madman!
She took a few steps forward at a leisurely pace.
The auctioneer had already fallen silent and lowered his head, afraid of being noticed by the other party.
The audience was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
"The last person who dared to talk to me like that and even snatched the things I wanted..." She tilted her head, as if recalling something, then broke into an innocent yet cruel smile, "His bones must have almost melted away by now."
She stretched out her slender finger and gently pointed in the direction of Ning Ruan's room.
"Tell me, what should I do with you?"
"killed?"
"It also seems rather boring."
“How about…” her smile grew even brighter, “buy you too? You’d be a perfect match for that pear blossom, and we could grow them together. It sounds like a lot of fun.”

Ning Ruan swallowed the spiritual fruit in her mouth without getting angry, and said calmly, "I'm afraid you can't afford it."
"If you had spirit stones, you wouldn't have resorted to breaking through someone's defenses and threatening them. Just keep bidding. It's clear you can't afford it."
Xiao Hong also shouted, "I can't afford it, I can't afford it!"
