The auction for the beauties was about to begin. Many cultivators and wealthy elites had gathered at the Beauty Palace. Even if they didn't plan to participate in the bidding, they wouldn't miss it. After all, these were exceptionally rare beauties, and feasting one's eyes was a reward in itself.

Once they were auctioned off, it would be nearly impossible to see them again. By then, they would already be spoken for. Thus, the spacious hall was now packed, with more people still rushing to arrive.

It was into this scene that Zhang Bin entered, flanked by two beauties and escorted by the three jokesters and their women.

SWOOSH!

Almost everyone's gaze was instantly drawn to Yan Feifei, and they found it impossible to look away. Their faces were painted with shock, disbelief, and profound confusion. Such a beautiful girl was an absolute rarity, a true, unparalleled treasure.

They also noticed that this beauty was very young, with a hint of youthful innocence on her face. Clearly, she was just a child, probably no older than fifteen. Yet, she had already cultivated to the Initial Stage of the Qi Sea Realm. This made her a rare genius, definitely among the best of SS-level talents. Such beauty and talent could easily overshadow any fairy, making her completely deserving of the title of Chang'e.

But where had this girl come from? They hadn't seen her before. Zhang Bin certainly hadn't brought such a beauty into the Immortal Palace with him.

"Zhang Bin, you have some nerve! How dare you abduct a fairy from the Immortal Palace?"

Lv Jianben had also arrived in the hall. When he saw Yan Feifei, he was certain such a beauty had to be a Chang'e from the Immortal Palace—possibly the genius known as Han Chun'er. He saw an opportunity to bring Zhang Bin to ruin and immediately sneered, shouting, "He was, of course, alerting the Immortal Palace's Protectors to strike immediately and kill Zhang Bin."

SWOOSH!

Sect Master Si Yangze of the Daoyi Sect also flashed before Zhang Bin. His face was filled with suspicion as he stared at Yan Feifei and said coldly, "Zhang Bin, where did you get this woman? Is she one of ours from the Immortal Palace?"

He was clearly there to hold Zhang Bin accountable.

SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!

Numerous powerful Protectors rushed over like lightning, surrounding Zhang Bin and his companions. A chilling killing intent erupted from them as they all looked at Zhang Bin as if he were already a dead man. If Zhang Bin's crime was confirmed, they would attack without hesitation, determined to eliminate him on the spot. The majesty of the Daoyi Sect was not to be trifled with, and its rules were not to be broken by anyone.

"It's over. How could Zhang Bin dare to do something like this? The Daoyi Sect will never let him go."

"I remember one time, a young cultivator entered the Immortal Palace and ran off with a beauty. He was beaten to death on the spot. How could Zhang Bin do something so foolish?"

"Exactly. No one is allowed to approach the fairies and Chang'e of the Immortal Palace before the auction."

Looks of regret and pity appeared on the faces of many cultivators as they began to discuss the situation animatedly.

Lv Jianben, however, was ecstatic. Zhang Bin, I was just racking my brain trying to figure out how to kill you, and now you've decided to walk to your own death? How dare you abduct a fairy from the Immortal Palace?!

A thick sneer spread across Zhang Bin's face. "Sect Master Si Yangze, you're quite forgetful. Didn't I just win a talented woman at the auction? This is Yan Feifei, the finale prize!"

"Yan Feifei greets Sect Master Si Yang," she said, cupping her hands respectfully.

Si Yangze was stunned. Lv Jianben was also startled, and the Protectors and other cultivators were all dumbfounded, scarcely believing their eyes and ears.

This unparalleled beauty was the same ugly freak from before? How was that possible? Was this some kind of magic trick?

That woman's burns had been severe, her face completely disfigured. How could there be no trace of them now? But her voice sounded the same as before; it really seemed to be the same woman.

"How... How could the scars on her face be gone?" Si Yangze stammered, his words choked with anger.

Indeed, anyone would be furious in his situation. It was like selling a simple stone, only to find out it contained a priceless piece of jade. A treasure that was rightfully his had been sold for a paltry sum because he hadn't recognized its true value. A fortune worth billions had been reduced to a mere fifty million. The loss was immense, simply huge.

An unprecedented sense of triumph surged through Zhang Bin's heart. He gently pulled Yan Feifei into his embrace and said with a grin, "Our Taiqing Sect possesses miraculous medical arts. Treating mere burns is hardly worth mentioning. The moment I saw Yan Feifei, I knew she was an exceptionally rare beauty. That's why I spent a fortune to win her and restore her face. It turns out I was right. She's a true beauty. I like her very much."

"Senior Brother, I will love you forever," Yan Feifei declared sweetly, raising her head to gaze at Zhang Bin with eyes full of adoration.

Their performance was clearly designed to infuriate Si Yangze and Lv Jianben to death.

And Si Yangze was indeed furious. His face turned ashen, and his teeth ground together with an audible crunch. He stomped his foot so hard that the stone slab beneath it shattered into dust. Then, he stormed off in a huff. The Protectors, of course, immediately retreated as well.

As for Lv Jianben, he was so enraged that he panted heavily, his chest heaving like a great bellows. He clenched his fists so tightly that his fingernails dug deep into his palms.

In that moment, endless regret filled his heart. He was no fool, and he understood the implication of Zhang Bin's words. When Zhang Bin was bidding on the talented women, he had only one goal: to win Yan Feifei. He himself had fallen for the trick, squandering a fortune on three other women. And then he had been further deceived, failing to raise the price when Zhang Bin bid on Yan Feifei. How could he have been so stupid? If he had seen through Zhang Bin's scheme, he would have driven the price into the billions. Zhang Bin would surely have gone mad with rage.

"HAHAHA..."

Naturally, Zhang Bin saw Lv Jianben's vexed and regretful expression, and he couldn't help but let out a triumphant laugh.

Ma Rufei, Chen Chaoyue, and Zhang Haijun all shot Lv Jianben a look of disdain. Then, in perfect unison, they raised their middle fingers, their movements synchronized and full of swagger as they muttered, "Idiot!"

PFFT.

The several beautiful women couldn't help but burst out laughing.

HAHAHA!

Many of the other cultivators couldn't hold back either and began laughing uproariously.

Only Lv Jianben remained, so angry he could have crushed his teeth, but he had to begrudgingly agree with the trio's assessment.

Today, he, Lv Jianben, was truly an idiot. So damn foolish, being played like a fiddle by a wet-behind-the-ears kid
