Nine Revolutions Star Transformation-Chapter 436 - 449: Yellow Sheep Auction House

Qing Ruming looked at Chu Lin and said, "Young Master Feng, is the beauty of appearance really that important to you?"

"Not entirely. Everyone appreciates beauty, but it’s the beauty of the heart that captivates more. If a woman has only outer beauty but a heart as vicious as a snake, I despise her utterly," Chu Linfeng replied.

Qing Ruming then slowly removed her veil, and while Chu Linfeng had anticipated a stunning face, what he saw made him feel nauseated—it was perhaps the ugliest face he had ever seen.

A black birthmark that almost covered half of her face appeared, utterly ruining her features. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

"Are you surprised? People say the Saintess is the most beautiful woman, but little do they know that the Saintess of our Carefree Palace is like this. Didn’t you want to pursue me? Do you still want to after seeing my face?" Qing Ruming said.

Chu Linfeng was stunned for a long time, yet recalling the Sword Spirit’s words that she had the Golden Yin Body, he could only accept her despite the ugliness for the sake of the Gold Spirit Pearl.

"You’re underestimating me. Even if you’re ugly, I will pursue you. Love is a very subtle thing; some might fall for someone because of their voice, others for their appearance, and some for their status. I’m interested in your appearance.

Or rather, I’m interested in you as a whole. Regardless of your beauty or ugliness, your status or position, I will pursue you. Even though you already have someone you love, I won’t give up. That’s my principle in life: once I’ve decided on something, even if I’m battered and bruised, I believe it’s worth it," Chu Linfeng said solemnly.

Qing Ruming’s body trembled slightly; she hadn’t expected this handsome youth to have such feelings for her. If she hadn’t met Young Master Feiyu, perhaps he truly was a good man, but she already had an engagement with Feiyu and could only let him down.

"Young Master Feng, I can only disappoint you. If we had met earlier, perhaps there would’ve been a chance, but now I can only say I’m sorry. Though I can’t, Ling’er can. She is also a Saintess; you might consider her," Qing Ruming said.

"Rumeng, why are you bringing me up? I never bothered you," Nie Ling’er said, her face quickly reddening, though Chu Linfeng noticed despite the dim moonlight.

Nie Ling’er’s beauty would certainly move Chu Linfeng; claiming otherwise would be a lie. However, having failed with one, how could he shift targets? He smiled and said, "Miss Ling’er’s beauty naturally confuses people, but if Rumeng can’t be my woman, then I naturally won’t accept others. If you genuinely want your friend to be happy, you need to consider this matter carefully."

"You want both of us? Young Master Feng, did I hear that right? Aren’t you being too presumptuous?" Qing Ruming said, astonished.

"Presumptuous? When the day comes that I attain the pinnacle of the world, you won’t think that way. It’s getting late, let’s go back. I won’t give up on you, and once you become my woman, I’ll naturally let Ling’er become mine too," Chu Linfeng said.

Straightforward, decisive, domineering—that was Chu Linfeng. The two girls felt uncomfortable hearing this, especially Nie Ling’er, who wished she could punch him. His arrogance seemed to suggest she couldn’t marry anyone, yet his words indicated he held her in his heart, giving her a trace of comfort.

Then the three returned to Huangyang Building. With some time left before dawn, they each went to their rooms; Chu Linfeng was pleased with the night’s events. He hadn’t expected the two women to follow him and reveal their true selves.

"Lin Feng, actually, Qing Ruming was wearing a mask. Her beauty probably rivals Nie Ling’er’s. From the tone in her speech, she seems to have a good feeling about you. Coupled with the mutual attraction between Pure Yang Body and Golden Yin Body, you’ll win her heart. But you’ll need to disrupt her relationship with Young Master Feiyu, so grab this chance carefully," Sword Spirit said.

"I didn’t expect you to be a love strategist. I also believe she couldn’t be that ugly. Her mastery of the Disguise Art is impressive, which explains her quick recognition of my disguise," Chu Linfeng said.

Chu Linfeng sat quietly at the table, closing his eyes to rest for a moment. When daylight arrived, after a simple wash, he decided to see how the Canglan Ancient Land’s auction every three years compared to the Celestial Dragon Empire’s auction.

Then there came a knock at the door. When Chu Linfeng opened it, it was Young Master Feiyu, surprising him with the timing.

"Young Master Feiyu, what brings you here this early?" Chu Linfeng asked, wondering if it was about his nighttime grilling fish with Feiyu’s woman.

Though he thought that, his face showed an expression of curiosity, "Young Master Feng, this is the token to enter the auction. Only those with a token can enter the auction house. I imagine Young Master Feng has many things to buy this time,"

Young Master Feiyu said, handing a red jade token to Chu Linfeng.

"Lin Feng, thank you, Young Master Feiyu. I didn’t know you needed this to enter," Chu Linfeng said, accepting the token.

"Our Carefree Palace is hosting this auction, and you are outstanding. If I didn’t give you a token, it wouldn’t seem right. This is a second-class token with limited quantities; please take good care of it," Young Master Feiyu said and then turned away.

"A second-class token? I thought you’d generously give me a first-class token. But no, you’re so stingy despite being the host!" Chu Linfeng muttered to himself after Young Master Feiyu left.

"What is Brother Feng mumbling about so early in the morning?" Young Master Wenqin’s voice reached Chu Linfeng’s ears.

"Nothing much, Young Master Feiyu gave me a token for the auction, but it’s second-class. It feels somewhat disrespectful," Chu Linfeng said.

"Haha! Brother Feng, you may not know, but second-class tokens are quite rare. There are only nine first-class tokens representing the Nine Major Sects; each sect has just one, so you naturally wouldn’t get one. However, second-class tokens are highly valued and only granted to people of great status within the Nine Major Sects, making you quite lucky.

To know that people from second-tier sects can only get third-class tokens, you see what this means, right?" Young Master Wenqin laughed.

"I see. You didn’t come so early just to chat with me. What brings you here?" Chu Linfeng asked.

"Initially, I wanted to make you my agent, but I didn’t expect you to be so inconspicuous; let’s forget about it. When you find suitable items, try to compete for them—I won’t hold back," Young Master Wenqin said.

"Alright, we’ll see if there’s anything I need," Chu Linfeng said.

Soon, everyone left their rooms, Qing Ruming and Nie Ling’er still with veils covering their faces, "Let’s go; today’s auction will surely be lively. Hopefully, everyone will find what they want," Young Master Feiyu said.

The seven of them left Huangyang Building, heading to Huangyang City’s largest auction house, the Yellow Sheep Auction House...
