    “Dad, stop hitting me. Stop hitting me. I’m going to die if you keep hitting me.” Zhou Guangyao, who was pped by his father’s loving iron palm, covered his face andy on the ground wailing.


    “Prince Zhou, if there’s any problem, bring your son back and discuss it slowly. By the way, our Myriad Commerce Association has top-notch spiritual medicine. Although they can’t revive the dead, they have a miraculous effect on treating injuries and internal injuries. I think that Your Highness should buy some to take home.”


    The Martial Grandmaster who was standing behind Zhou Erhe reminded him.


    ‘F*ck, you’re a human too. How can you remind him like that?¹ Hearing the words of the Martial Grandmaster, Zhou Guangyao, who was lying on the ground, felt that he was a demon! He actually suggested to his father to buy that spiritual medicine back. Wasn’t he forcing the old man to beat him to death?


    “Thank you for the reminder.” Zhou Erhe suppressed the anger in his heart and replied in a low voice.


    Then, Zhou Erhe roared at Zhou Guangyao, who was still lying on the ground, “Unfilial son, how long do you want to lie there? If you don’t get up, I’ll break your legs and make you crawl back.”


    Hearing his father’s furious tone, Zhou Guangyao didn’t dare to lie down anymore. He hurriedly covered his face and got up.


    “Hmph.” Seeing this situation, Zhou Erhe, who felt that he had lost all his face, snorted coldly and turned to leave.


    Zhou Guangyao hurriedly followed behind him.


    When they passed by Shi Zihan’s secret room, Zhou Erhe nced at Shi Zihan, who was resting with her eyes closed. However, he did not say anything.


    As for Zhou Guangyao, he was not stupid enough to ask Zhou Erhe to bail Shi Zihan out.


    As Zhou Guangyao passed Shi Zihan’s secret room dejectedly, he did not dare to look at her. He followed Zhou Erhe out of the secret room corridor.


    After the three of them left, Shi Zihan could not help but sigh.


    Zhou Erhe brought Zhou Guangyao into the carriage. He looked at his son whose face was swollen like a pig’s head. Zhou Erhe then suppressed his anger and asked in a low voice, “Unfilial son, tell me in detail about the matter and who that woman is.”


    Hearing his father’s words, Zhou Guangyao didn’t dare to hide anything and started to tell him in detail.


    In the end, the servants of the prince’s residence saw their prince leading a creature simr to the pig-headed man of the Beastman Dynasty inside the residence. Then, screams that filled the sky continuously sounded from the prince’s residence.


    This scream made the servants’ hair stand on end.


    As time passed, manyrge factions in the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty knew about what happened in the Wanxian Restaurant today.


    After all, there was no way to keep a secret forever. The news spread very quickly, and many versions of it were instantly born.


    Therefore, the variousrge families in the dynasty warned the younger generations. During this period of time, anyone who dared to do anything rash in the dynasty would be directly expelled from the family and demoted to amoner. If the situation was serious, they would even be executed.


    On the other side of the pce, Zhou Xuanji also ordered the secret guards in the pce to investigate secretly. He wanted to know the identity of Su Yu, who was beside Ji Ruoyan.


    It could not be helped. As the ruler of a country, Zhou Xuanji needed to consider every single detail. A young man who could be apanied by Ji Ruoyan and treated as an honored guest was not someone the Great Zhou Dynasty could afford to offend.


    Just by having a meal with Ji Ruoyan, Su Yu instantly caused a storm in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty.


    The night passed uneventfully. Other than a group of good-for-nothings who had been warned and were on tenterhooks the entire night, the lives of the ordinary citizens did not change at all.


    After having a sumptuous breakfast with Ji Ruoyan, Su Yu weed the monthly auction of the Myriad Commerce Association.


    At this moment, Su Yu was looking down at the auction hall from Sky VIP Room Number 1.


    Customers had already begun to enter the auction hall one after another. However, the people sitting in the hall were usually small vendors or low-rank martial cultivators from the dynasty. Many of them were here to see the world and make connections.


    The people who actually nned to bid in the auction sat in the VIP rooms.


    Su Yu was not the only one in the VIP room. There was also Ji Ruoyan and a group of maidservants.


    When the hall began to be crowded, a clear ancient bell sounded in the auction hall.


    As the bell rang, the mor in the auction hall gradually subsided.


    Knowing that the bell had rung, it meant that the auction had officially begun. Naturally, the attendees would not be so stupid as to shout at this time.


    On the auction stage, a mature woman in a red dress walked up.


    “Everyone, I’m the chief auctioneer of the Myriad Commerce Association, Ji Yue. I’ll preside over this auction for everyone. Let’s cut to the chase and begin.”


    As Ji Yue stood on the stage, her every movement carried an astonishing charm. Many low-rank martial arts cultivators were looking at Ji Yue on the stage with fanatical expressions.


    Even the big shots in the private rooms were the same. However, when they thought of the other party’s surname, it was as if someone had poured a te of cold water on them and extinguished the fire in their hearts.


    Originally, there was no need for a chief auctioneer like Ji Yue to go on stage for a mere monthly auction. However, Su Yu was present at this auction.


    Therefore, under Ji Ruoyan’s order, Ji Yue sessfully reced the auctioneer who was supposed to go on stage today.


    Ji Yue’s identity was the same as Ji Ruoyan. She was also a member of the Ji n. However, Ji Ruoyan was a direct descendant. Ji Yue could only be considered a distant rtive. There was a huge difference in status between the two.


    After ncing vaguely at Su Yu in Sky VIP Room Number 1, Ji Yue looked at the auction stage and said with a smile, “Everyone, let’s wee the first auction item, a Level 3 spirit pill – the body tempering pill.”


    Su Yu, who was in the Sky VIP Room, was slightly interested when he saw this scene. This was the first time he had experienced this auction, so he could not help but feel a little novel.


    “The Level 3 spirit pill – the body tempering pill, was made by an alchemy grandmaster. It has already developed pill patterns and is not poisonous. Its efficacy is at least 70% stronger than the body tempering pill of the same grade. This white jade bottle contains five body tempering pills. If you need this item, you can start preparing to ce your bid.”


    After ncing at the white jade bottle on the auction stage, Ji Yue exined the medicinal effects of the pill in detail.


    “The starting price is 10,000 general coins. Each increase must not be less than 1,000 general coins. The auction officially begins.”


    “11,000.” As soon as Ji Yue finished speaking, someone started bidding from the auction hall below..
