As that voice rang out, everyone turned to look. A young man with slicked-back hair and powdered features had already arrived in front of Ruo Lin and Xiao Yan.
Although his face was pale and clearly showed signs of indulgence in wine and women, the aura radiating from his body was unmistakably that of a Great Dou Shi.
For someone in his early twenties to reach the Great Dou Shi realm could indeed be considered somewhat talented.
The young man directly ignored Xiao Yan and stared fixedly at Ruo Lin behind him. His bloodshot eyes swept over Ruo Lin's voluptuous figure, the heat and greed in his gaze nearly impossible to conceal.
"This young lady, my surname is Zhong, given name Nai Liang. Might I have the honor of knowing your name?"
As soon as he spoke, murmurs spread among the locals of Black Seal City.
"So it's Zhong Nai Liang from the Zhong family. No wonder he looks so greasy."
"Watch your mouth—don't you want to live anymore?"
"The Zhong family is one of the top three great clans in Black Seal City. There are three or four Dou Wang powerhouses in their clan."
"The current Zhong Clan Head is Zhong Nai Liang's father—and he's also a Dou Wang. More importantly, he dotes on this son to an extreme."
"Yeah, what a pity. Such a fresh and elegant mature beauty—looks like she's about to be ruined by that beast again."
Someone nearby sighed softly.
"That guy is a notorious scumbag in Black Seal City. But what can you do? He's the eldest young master of the Zhong family, and he spends money like water."
"Exactly. Young Master Zhong may dump women after playing with them, but his compensation is always generous."
Hearing these discussions, Zhong Nai Liang not only didn't get angry—he actually seemed to enjoy them.
In Black Seal City, many women would throw themselves at him the moment they heard he was a Zhong family young master. Though he would soon grow bored, he always paid a generous 'parting fee'. As a result, Young Master Zhong had quite the reputation in the city's pleasure circles.
What disappointed him, however, was that the beauty before him merely shook her head lightly.
"Sorry, I've never heard of you, and I'm not interested in getting to know you."
After speaking, Ruo Lin followed behind Xiao Yan and continued walking forward.
"Wait!" Zhong Nai Liang called out again, causing Ruo Lin to frown slightly.
This time, Zhong Nai Liang quickly retrieved a bright silver, crystal-clear necklace from his storage ring. A delicate water-blue magic core was embedded in it.
"Miss, your beauty has left me in awe. Although you won't tell me your name, I truly believe this necklace suits you perfectly.
Even if we have no fate, I hope you'll accept this gift."
The exquisite necklace didn't move Ruo Lin—but it stirred the hearts of several female students and many women on the street.
Anyone could tell the necklace was worth at least ten thousand gold coins—a massive sum for a Dou Zhe, and even significant for a Dou Shi.
Zhong Nai Liang actually had two more such necklaces in his ring—standard tools from his past womanizing exploits.
Many women maintained a cold exterior, but their resistance crumbled quickly in the face of money and sweet words.
Unfortunately for him, Ruo Lin only paused briefly, then smiled lightly and shook her head.
As if recalling something, she glanced at Xiao Yan with a smile before turning back to Zhong Nai Liang, smiling warmly.
"Young Master Zhong, if this is all the sincerity you have, you'd better take it back. I understand your little intentions perfectly."
At this point, a playful smile appeared on Ruo Lin's face.
"If you can produce a Water Spirit Pill, then spending a night with you wouldn't be impossible."
Upon hearing this, Zhong Nai Liang's previously smiling face gradually darkened.
"It seems the young lady has no intention of giving me face."
"Heh. Young Master Zhong, if you can't afford to play, then you can't afford to play. You can't even produce what I want—what right do you have to play with me?"
Ruo Lin might appear gentle and refined, but when she struck verbally, her tongue was razor-sharp.
After speaking, she followed Xiao Yan and left once more.
Seeing her blatant disregard, Zhong Nai Liang's face grew even darker. He rushed ahead again and blocked their path.
"You'd better think this through carefully. Offending my Zhong family in Black Seal City is not a wise decision. I—"
Before he could finish, a loud slap landed squarely on his face.
In the next instant, under the stunned gazes of the crowd, the notorious playboy of Black Seal City flew backward like a cannonball, crashing into a stone wall and coughing up a mouthful of blood.
"Keep running your mouth and I'll kill you," Xiao Yan said impatiently, casting him a glance before turning away.
If the man merely spent money on willing women, Xiao Yan wouldn't care—after all, that was a consensual transaction.
But forcing things crossed the line.
Zhong Nai Liang stared at Xiao Yan's departing back without speaking—his jaw had already been shattered—but his eyes were filled with venomous hatred.
A quarter of an hour later, Xiao Yan and his group finally arrived in front of a massive auction house.
Ruo Lin and the Jia Nan Academy students behind her all showed expressions of amazement. Only Xiao Yan remained indifferent.
The newly established Mittel Auction House under the Yan Alliance was more than ten times larger than this one.
Just as they were about to enter, a powerful aura suddenly swept across the street.
High in the sky, a middle-aged man with Dou Qi wings flapping behind him stared coldly at Xiao Yan's group.
In his hand was Zhong Nai Liang.
"The Zhong Clan Head is here for revenge. These people are finished."
A wave of panic spread through the crowd. Ruo Lin and the Jia Nan Academy students all turned pale.
This was a genuine Dou Wang powerhouse.
Although they had seen Xiao Yan effortlessly kill Fan Ling before, they still couldn't help worrying whether he could truly contend with a Dou Wang.
"You brat, you dare injure my son? Today, I'll make you pay with your life!"
The Zhong Clan Head slowly descended not far from Xiao Yan, glaring at him coldly.
"What a hassle," Xiao Yan sighed helplessly. A wisp of seven-colored flame gently emerged at his fingertip.
Just as he was about to flick the flame out, a voice suddenly rang out from the auction house entrance.
"Oh my! Lord Rock Maple, you're finally here! I've been waiting for you for ages!"
This voice caused both Xiao Yan and the Zhong Clan Head to pause—but their expressions were entirely different.
A tall man in black hurried forward, his face full of deference as he looked at Xiao Yan. Then, without a word, he cast a cold glance at the Zhong Clan Head.
That single glance caused cold sweat to break out all over the Zhong Clan Head's body.
In his stunned gaze, his own superior—the Lord of Black Seal City, a top-ten Black Ranking powerhouse—was acting like a shop attendant, respectfully escorting Xiao Yan into the auction house.
Watching this scene, the Zhong Clan Head felt utterly bewildered.
The Black Seal City Lord was a peak expert ranked in the Black Ranking's top ten—just what kind of background did this young man have, to warrant such courtesy and flattery?
At that moment, a chill rose from the bottom of his heart.
This time, the Zhong family had truly kicked an incomparably terrifying iron plate.
