Rest In A Demon’s Embrace

Luo Xiao had misunderstood Jiang Yao\'s words and assumed that this hidden danger was enough to threaten their lives, so he was keeping alert, but after understanding that such vigilance would be counterproductive, his body turned soft as he leaned against the strong chest behind him.

The young man, who had been rigid and very proper, now resembled a male succubus that was specializing in hooking others.

​​

While Jiang Yao was the real demon of the two, the extremely beautiful face of Luo Xiao, coupled with the languid and content aura, made the young man irresistible.

Even the assassin hidden in the shadows could not help but swallow his saliva as he wondered how it was possible for a young man to be this attractive. One has to know that this assassin had been perfectly straight his entire life.

The Silver Spirit Fescues were split into batches, and there were ten batches in total, which appeared on stage one after another. Currently, everyone was still using spirit crystals to pay for their purchase, but Luo Xiao was not in a hurry to see which treasures would be used in return for those he had put up for sale.

Under normal circumstances, an auction house would not use treasures as a means of payment, but due to the scarcity of these resources, Luo Xiao had been rather eager to try it out.

The reason for him to gather this large amount of wealth was to purchase rare and much-needed herbs, but if they could, at the same time, locate some rare herbs and get them for themselves, that would be better.

Due to these resources being extinct, many were willing to pay more than they were actually worth, and thus, Luo Xiao was looking forward to collecting all those treasures as he got home.

Jiang Yao naturally understood his thoughts and he chuckled happily as he caressed the younger man\'s head.

"The treasures that these families can take out are not ordinary. Some of them are full of energy, while others have great uses. Under more normal circumstances, these treasures would never be taken out to show off, but due to our auction, many are more than willing to make friends with us."

Luo Xiao nodded his head, as he began to understand. The reason that it was possible to exchange treasures was simply due to how rare the herbs he had put up for sale were, and the buyers\' wishes to obtain them.

The treasures would normally never be used to purchase these lower graded herbs, but seeing that these people had brought the treasures personally, Luo Xiao could not help but feel very happy.

After the ten batches of Silver Spirit Fescues, a strange stone-like material appeared on stage. This stone was extremely rare, even Luo Xiao only had around fifteen in his storage treasure, but even so, he had still put two of them up for sale.

There were many spiritual professions and a cultivator was naturally in need of a suitable weapon. The armament masters present felt their hearts almost leap out of their chests upon the arrival of the Dark Ice Ore, and Luo Xiao knew he had made the right choice when putting it up for auction.

The Dark Ice Ore was, much like the herbs, a treasure that had vanished long ago, but the legends left behind still amazed many. The reason it was placed this early in the auction was the fact that it was still merely an ore, and to display its true capabilities, one needed a spiritual blacksmith that could create a suitable weapon from it.

When one had to depend on a blacksmith to turn the ore into a weapon, many things could go wrong, and if the ore was lost during the forging process, there would be no way to salvage it.

Naturally, this was merely the excuse that the auction house had come up with for the sake of placing the treasure this early, as they knew full well that everyone would be eager to buy it.

It was not only Luo Xiao who was gazing at the auction below, Jiang Yao also swept his eyes across the stage and paused for a few moments on the Dark Ice Ore.

"Xiaoxiao, do you have more of these ores?"

Jiang Yao did not mind that the one hidden in the shadows heard his voice. First of all, the assassin was definitely already aware that the items in the auction were theirs, and secondly, he had to be alive in order for him to tell others about the things he heard while hiding.

"Yes. I have quite a few chunks of ore left behind. Why do you ask?"

Luo Xiao did not mind answering him. Since Jiang Yao dared ask even while being observed, then he dared to answer.

"You do not have a weapon as things are now. Although you have Little Gold to protect you, she is not that powerful yet, and she is also hibernating most of the time.

"Your own attacks are all based on spiritual energy, and while it is very useful during battles, I would suggest that you get a weapon made as well.

"The Dark Ice Ore can be melted into a special iron that we can use to craft a set of Dark Ice Needles that will be useful during battles."

Luo Xiao had not considered getting a weapon. Since he was a soul cultivator, he was used to using attacks conjured by his energy, and those were already ranged attacks.

He was not suitable for weapons such as swords or daggers, but needles could indeed be considered useful for him.
