As for when it will dissipate, I don’t know.
It’ll take time, but I’m a rui beast; I have lots of time.”

“Remove the demonic miasma? That’s easy.”

“Easy? Do you think this is some generic demonic miasma? This is the demonic energy from the king of the demon realm! It can’t be removed that easily!” The baby rui rolled his eyes.
Humans, so ignorant!

“The one who hurt you was the king of the demon realm?”

“Yes, but I think those guys in the demon realm call him the Demon Ancestor these days.
He was one sinister and cunning guy.
Super annoying!” The baby rui rolled his eyes again.

Demon Ancestor! This was a name Feng Wu had heard of.

“Wait, I’ll help you get rid of the miasma.” Feng Wu liked the cute little guy, so she thought about helping him escape by having Xiao Chun purify the miasma.

Little baby rui’s tone was hopeless when he spoke.
“I just said you can’t.
This is the power from the previous demon king.
How can an ordinary human purify it?”

Feng Wu’s face was serious.
“Let me try.
I can do it.”

“Well whatever, do whatever you want, but can you keep my existence a secret? There are a lot of bad jerks out there.
And they all want to catch me and use me.
It’ll be troublesome if they find out about me.”

Feng Wu thought about it, then nodded her head.
“I won’t tell anyone.”

Thus one human and one beast came to an agreement.
They continued talking telepathically, completely oblivious that the auction was nearing its end.

The affinity increasing potion from Ai Lin finally sold at eight and half million gold to Zo.
Zo held the potion bottle in his hand.
His face was full of expectation and puzzlement, expectation because of the obvious effect, and puzzlement because the potion didn’t exist in the original timeline.

Well it didn’t matter what the change variable was, the item would be good for him.

It wasn’t that Zo had zero talent.
He did have talent for attack water magic; it was just that his ability was so weak, it was barely discernible.
His affinity for water elemental was a measly thirty points, far too low!

The bare minimum to be a magician was fifty points.

With the bottle, he would be able to reach that and become a magician.
It was fortunate he had enough money, otherwise he wouldn’t have been able to snake the potion from under all those other families in their VIP boxes.

Zi Cheng had seen the potion, but she wasn't interested since it had no effect on her.
She could get the same kind of potion easily anytime she wanted by exchanging points in her system store.
So unlike Jasmine and Yifu, she did not participate in the bidding.
Jasmine and Yifu didn’t get far; they didn't have the resources to fight against the other bigger families.

Zi Cheng was willing to offer financial assistance, but when Zo joined in on the bidding, Caesar stopped the girls from bidding.
He understood why his brother would be interested in the potion.

Although the girls weren’t happy about it, they didn’t dare argue against him.
He was the eldest of a highly influential family.
They couldn’t afford to not give him face.

Zi Cheng was more than happy to accede to his request.
She even helped talk Yifu and Jasmine into agreeing.

Caesar was impressed by her righteousness, and this, of course, immediately earned her three favorability points with him.

Caesar had been worried things wouldn’t go well for Zo.
He wasn’t sure if Zo had enough money on him.
He decided to buy the potion for his brother should his brother have to drop out of the bidding form lack of funds.
Then he’d just give the potion to Zo later.

His concern wasn’t needed though as Zo was able to buy the potion himself.

“This is the last item in the auction — the Sea emperor’s key!” announced a visibly excited LeXue.
A beautiful jade box holding the key appeared on stage.
It overflowed with golden light, looking as gorgeous and mysterious as its name implied.
The audience turned to it with halted breath.

“I believe all of you are aware of the tomb that appeared not too far Bilou.
The Sea emperor’s bones are buried in this tomb.
There are countless treasures inside.
My father thought of opening the tomb, but unfortunately he needed two more keys.

A total of three keys are required to open the tomb.
Without all three, the tomb will not open.
This auction is for one of the keys required.”

This was what most of the VIPs in the box seats came for.
They wanted the key so they could get more advantages when the tomb opened.

Had it not been for the key, Zo would never have been able to get the potion.
The VIPs had to save money for it you see.

“Sea god’s key, the reserve price is one million gold at increments of no less than ten thousand gold.
The auction starts now!”

“One point one million gold!”

“One point five million!”

“Five million!” One of the VIP boxes cut to the chase and immediately raised the price.

The minor players immediately pulled out.
They didn’t have money to compete.
If even by some crazy chance they did get it, there was a very high chance they would be killed for it.
So why buy it just so someone else could take it?

Only a foolish person would fight for the key in front of all these big shots.
Even if it was a key to the Sea god’s tomb, it wasn’t as precious as their own lives.

Someone even more ruthless shouted out, “Ten million!”

“Thirteen million!

“Fifteen million!”

“Twenty million!”

“Thirty million!”

“Fifty million!”

Zo knew his brother would get the key, so he didn’t intervene.

“That key is exactly like the key we got from Death island.” Jier noted.

Ink shrugged indifferently.
“They’re all the emperor’s key; of course they’re all the same.”
