Mittel Auction House.
"Miss Yafei, you've become even more beautiful in just a few days!"
Galeo stared intently at Yafei, who came out to greet them, like a wolf with gleaming green eyes.
"Hehe, so it's Young Master Galeo. Young Master Galeo, you've come to our auction house so early in the morning. Is there some kind of collaboration you'd like to discuss?"
Ya Fei greeted her with a forced smile.
"Um, I'm not here to discuss cooperation. I'm here with my brother Liu Xi."
Galeo awkwardly shifted his position, making way for Liu Xi, who had been blocking his way.
Ya Fei slightly lifted her beautiful eyes, her expression one of surprise.
Upon seeing Liu Xi behind Galeo, her mouth slightly opened and her beautiful eyes lit up.
What a refreshing and handsome young man, with a dashing and spirited demeanor.
It must be said that the willow mats look quite appealing.
The original text states:
A young man dressed in white leaned lazily against the back of his chair. He was quite handsome, but a glint of something else occasionally flashed in his eyes… which completely ruined his good looks.
Now, Liu Xi has taken over this body.
His eyes were bright and clear, shining like stars and blazing like the sun.
He stood tall and straight, dressed in white as snow.
Gone is the lewdness of the old willow mat; it naturally gives people a refreshed and spirited feeling.
But what Ya Fei cared about more was the professional badge on Liu Xi's chest, a badge exclusive to alchemists.
The badge depicts an ancient medicine cauldron, and on its surface, a silver ripple shimmers with an eerie light.
"A first-grade alchemist!"
Ya Fei's expression immediately became serious and earnest.
A first-grade alchemist might not be that rare.
But her identity as an alchemist was enough for her to show the most basic politeness and respect.
Ya Fei quickly realized what was happening and said with a sweet laugh:
"So it's a master alchemist who has come in person. I apologize for my neglect. Please have a seat, my lord. I will pour you some tea!"
Ya Fei reacted quickly, immediately guiding Liu Xi and the other person to their seats and pouring them a steaming cup of morning tea.
A gentle voice and a charming smile.
The impeccable service left Galeo, who had never experienced such treatment before, feeling somewhat flattered.
"May I ask how this alchemist is addressed? Is there anything we can do for you at the Mittel Auction House?"
After pouring tea for Liu Xi and the other woman, Ya Fei gracefully sat down in the chair opposite Liu Xi and looked at him earnestly as she asked.
Today, Ya Fei wore a bright red, tight-fitting cheongsam, which perfectly showcased her curvaceous figure.
The slit in the hem of the cheongsam further accentuated the dazzlingly white skin on her thighs.
A delicate, fair face, beautiful, shimmering eyes, and a charming, gentle voice.
It's really tempting.
However, Liu Xi was a person with exceptional self-control.
His gaze lingered unabashedly over Ya Fei's delicate body before he looked away and fixed his eyes on hers, saying:
"Liu Xi, you can call me Young Master Liu. The purpose of my visit is to ask you to help me prepare some medicinal herbs for alchemy. Here is a list; you can prepare according to it!"
Liu Xi handed Ya Fei a list of medicinal herbs that had been prepared in advance.
Ya Fei stared into Liu Xi's eyes and saw him casually glance over her before looking away, which surprised her slightly.
It's not that she's narcissistic about her figure, but it's true that very few people would look away after just one glance.
Perhaps some of it was just an act, but as soon as she looked away, she would definitely steal a glance.
So she took Liu Xi's list, pretending to browse it, but secretly observing Liu Xi's expression.
As long as Liu Xi peeks, she will definitely be able to sense it.
However, to her disappointment, Liu Xi did not peek, but instead kept staring at her slightly lowered head.
"How is it, Miss Yafei? Are you able to prepare?"
Seeing that Ya Fei had finished browsing, Liu Xi asked her a question.
"We can prepare them. The medicinal herbs that Young Master Liu needs are all common ones. Although the quantity is a bit large, it's not a problem for our Mittel Auction House!"
Ya Fei answered confidently.
"That's good!"
Liu Xi nodded in satisfaction.
He handed over a gold card and said:
"The cost of the medicinal herbs will be deducted from this gold card. If it's not enough, I'll make up the difference later."
"Yes, Young Master Liu, please wait a moment!"
Ya Fei smiled, her slender fingers taking the gold card from Liu Xi, and gracefully stood up to prepare.
"Oh, by the way! I've heard that your Mittel Auction House also has a Master Gu Ni, a second-grade alchemist. I wonder if he's available now? As I'm new here, I should pay him a visit."
Liu Xi suddenly spoke up to Ya Fei.
Ya Fei was taken aback for a moment, then quickly recovered and said with a smile:
"Young Master Liu is very kind. Master Gu Ni happens to be at the auction house. I will inform him of your wish to visit him."
"Then I'll have to trouble Miss Yafei."
Liu Xi said politely.
"Young Master Liu, you're too kind."
Ya Fei nodded lightly, swayed her slender waist and swayed her big, pert buttocks, and went down to prepare.
"Brother Liu Xi, why do you need to pay a visit to Master Gu Ni? You are a first-grade alchemist, and he is a second-grade alchemist, but he is so old, there is no need for you to pay a visit in person."
As soon as Ya Fei left, Galeo asked with a curious and puzzled expression.
"What do you know? This is called learning without hierarchy, and the accomplished are our teachers! We can learn from others' experiences to improve ourselves! Maybe if I exchange alchemy tips with Master Gu Ni, I can break through to the second-grade alchemist level when I get back!"
Liu Xi said sternly.
"oh..."
Galeo didn't understand this.
I just feel that Brother Liu is really impressive; he speaks in such a refined and literary way.
No wonder the female demon at the auction house was so polite to him.
"Learning knows no order of precedence; those who have achieved mastery are our teachers! The stones from other mountains can be used to polish our own jade..."
"This young master Liu is indeed no ordinary person!"
Just as Consort Ya finished instructing her maid and was about to return, she overheard Liu Xi's deliberately pretentious words, and her beautiful eyes immediately brightened.
Just as I was about to push the door open, I suddenly heard Galeo speak again.
"Brother Liu Xi, what do you think? Is this stunning beauty, Ya Fei, at the auction your type?!"
Galeo's voice was sleazy and obviously frivolous, and his eyes were also looking at Liu Xi with a shifty gaze.
He looked as if he desperately wanted Liu Xi to nod in agreement with him.
"Shut up!"
However, Liu Xi glared at him and reprimanded him.
"Full of boobs, oh no, I mean full of unhealthy thoughts, don't go out and say you know me!"
"oh..."
Pfft!
Ya Fei burst out laughing upon hearing this.
To maintain her appearance, she carefully straightened her clothes before going inside.
However, by some strange twist of fate, she glanced down just before entering the room.
Sure enough, her mind was full of (milk) thoughts...
