Genius Demon Empress - Chapter 19

Chapter 19 - The Queen of the Auction House

Translated by Luxican

The Nightmare Filed, the most secretive auction that exists in the underground of Po Lou City. It was said that every country on the continent had an existence similar to the Nightmare Field.

The slogan of the Nightmare Field was: As long as you have enough goods and enough "money", you could buy everything there. Even if said product is a slave of the Profound Heavenly Realm or a miracle pill that could bring the dead back to life.

A small-scale auction takes place every ten days and a large auction once a month.

Today was the day a small auction was held.

Everyone who wanted to enter had to be recommended by an old customer, and a second-rank profound pellet had to be paid for admission. The way of calculating the transactions were exclusively in second-rank profound pellets.

For every successful transaction, a fee of 10% would be paid.

Trading with "profound pellets", after listening to Ya Qing, Yue Jing Hua felt a slight pain.

The 150 third-rank profound pellets had all been taken by Qing Pu, she only had few left. And she had no time to get more second-rank profound pellets.

As a referee, Ya Qing accompanied Yue Jing Hua to the Nightmare.

***

After leaving the Qian Bin Establishment, Ya Qing led Yue Jing Hua to a carriage rental business called "Lucky Morning".

"I want a carriage without windows," said Ya Qing to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper looked at Ya Qing and Yue Jing Hua, and gave Ya Qing a mask, pointing at the back door.

"Four people in one wagon, when we're full we'll leave."

Ya Qing and Yue Jing Hua each paid a profound pellet, and they were led to a wagon.

A shabby carriage was barked at the back. A burly man was the coachman. His eyes were sharp like a knife, and the muscles in his arms were bulging.

Yue Jing Hua discovered that the coachman was a dumb man.

"There are already two people in the wagon, you can set-off as soon as you enter the carriage. After getting on, don't panic. It takes about an hour, then you will arrive." Ya Qing signaled Yue Jing Hua to get on the carriage first.

As soon as she got on everything was dark. The wagon was not at all spacious, with no windows and dark paint.

Unexpectedly, Yue Jing Hua stumbled and fell towards the upper left corner of the carriage.

She could feel a slight breeze pass by, accompanied by a fresh fragrance of grass and trees, as her waist was held by one hand.

"!!!" The fingers of that hand were cold and slender, and when they made contact with Yue Jing Hua's waist, they lightly pulled her back.

"Thank you," the person who reached out didn't respond and just took their hand back.

In the darkness Yue Jing Hua felt a vigilant gaze at the other corner.

"The people of the Nightmare Field really know how to treat people, letting them ride such a broken carriage," Ya Qing jumped in, groping in the dark in search of Yue Jing Hua.

Suddenly, his body turned right for no reason, and it felt like a strong wind had struck him. He was forced to sit down in the lower right corner.

There was a little coldness in Ya Qing's beautiful peach blossom eyes, and as he tried to stand up again, the wheels began to roll, and the driver had already set off.

Although the interior space of the carriage was very small, the four people, who had to stay in the carriage together, would not feel bored.

Except for the complaint when he got in the wagon, Ya Qing never spoke again.

Inside the carriage, there were four varying breaths.

The carriage drove on, the dumb coachman seemed to have good driving skills, which made people only feel little bumps, but Yue could still feel the changes of terrain, she guessed that they had left Po Lou City.

After her eyes gradually adjusted to the darkness in the carriage, Yue Jing Hua looked to the upper right corner, and could vaguely see a tall figure.

In the darkness, the two people had a brief exchange of looks.

It was then that the carriage stopped, and began to slowly descend.

"Master!" The other person on the left side said aloud.

It's just a cage, no need to panic," the tall figure finally said.

The sound was low, but it was very comfortable, just like a lake in the march of spring, a gentle breeze blowing over them.

Based on the feeling of sitting in the carriage, Yue Jing Hua could guess that the so-called cage was like a modern elevator.

The Nightmare Field should be located underground in a certain location, and needed special equipment to lift up and down.

The wagon stopped again and the carriage was opened .

The carriage was already in a underground hall.

In the hall were several shining pearls inlaid in the walls, in the center was a fountain with gurgling water, and the ground was covered with white jade bricks.

After dropping the passengers off, the carriage disappeared.

The other two had also gotten out of the wagon. Both of them were wearing white masks, only showing their eyes and chin.

The man standing on the right was tall, with a pair of lilac eyes, the arc of his chin was amazingly beautiful.

Somehow, Yue Jing Hua could feel a sense of familiarity from that person, and could not help but glance a few more times in his direction.

It seemed that Yue Jing Hua's gaze was discovered, and a faint smile was on the corner of that man's mouth.

The man accompanying him looked puzzled. "Young Master" seemed to be I a good mood. Was it because of the woman in the carriage?

At the entrance of the hall, stood two young women, about seventeen or eighteen years old.

They looked exactly the same. They both had blond hair and green eyes. They were beautiful twins. They were wearing apricot-red robes with a slit in the skirt, similar to the modern cheongsams. Their chest were well developed and their long legs could hook souls.

"So, Evil Boss and this girl are here to sell items, first, the price of your items has to be evaluated, please follow me," the girl on the right led the two into a small room.

The two tall men were led to another entrance.

"These two are not simple," Ya Qing sighed, glancing at the girl who led the way, and then looked at the casual Yue Jing Hua.

"In what could they be not easy?" Yue Jing Hua laughed, they made Ya Qing, a man who loved to complain, swallow them all down, and shut up all the way.

"In face of such a pair of amorous twins, they wouldn't even bat an eye. Especially the one with purple eyes, I really doubt if he's a normal man," Ya Qing wasn't speaking truthfully, that purple-eyed man, gave a sense of oppression just by standing there.

The twin beauty who led the way laughed softly: "Evil Master has teased us two sisters again." The implication was that he knew them very well.

"Xiao Chu and Xiao Ya, you two are top-grade, but it's a pity that your price is too high, thousand third-rank profound pellets, otherwise I would definitely buy you back," Ya Qing sighed.

These twin girls alone were worth a thousand third-rank profound pellets!

While Yue Jing Hua was surprised by their value, she couldn't help but feel dissatisfied with the way the Nightmare Field used people as commodities.

The young girl still smiled and seemed to be familiar with this kind of valuation and the thought of being bought.

"This is the Treasure Pavilion, dare I ask this girl what's the grade of the mysterious item?" Xiao Ya led the two into a box-like room.
