Treasure Auction & Breaking Yang Xin's Mentality

As the conversation between Yang Xin and Alan continued in the dimly lit inn room, Yang Xin couldn't help but feel a shiver of fear run down her spine. Alan's casual demeanor concealed a power and presence that sent chills through her. The very thought of disobeying him was a terrifying prospect.

Yang Xin shared all the information and details she had acquired from her meeting with Nie Li. She recounted their negotiation, the elixir formulas, and the family matters that Nie Li sought her assistance with. She explained how she used her leverage to reduce Nie Li's profits from the Alchemy Association, ensuring his compliance.

Alan listened intently, his sly smile never fading, even as he absorbed the valuable information.

Alan shifted his focus to the part about the money Nie Li was gathering. "So, Nie Li is accumulating a substantial amount of wealth. Do you have any idea why he might need such a sum?"

Yang Xin hesitated, her voice trembling ever so slightly. "I... I'm not sure, Master. It could be for various reasons, but I believe it's related to a Treasure Auction that's scheduled to occur in the next couple of days."

Alan's interest was piqued. He leaned forward, his eyes locked onto Yang Xin's. "A Treasure Auction, you say? That's intriguing. What do you know about it, Yang Xin?"

Yang Xin took a moment to collect her thoughts, her fear of Alan ever-present. "The Treasure Auction is a grand event where rare and valuable items are put up for bidding. Nie Li may require a significant amount of wealth to participate or obtain something of great importance."

Alan nodded, satisfied with her response. "Very well, Yang Xin. I appreciate your diligence in providing me with this information. It seems I should also attend this Treasure Auction. There might be more to this than meets the eye."

Yang Xin, her obedience stemming from fear, nodded in agreement. "Yes, Master. I will ensure you have all the necessary arrangements."

"Good," Alan nodded in approval, his sly smile never leaving his face.

As Yang Xin rose from her seat, she could feel the weight of Alan's gaze upon her. Her heart raced with fear, but she maintained her composure. She knew that her fear only fueled his control over her.

With a polite nod, Yang Xin exited the room to make the necessary arrangements. Her movements were graceful, and her every step exuded an air of authority, but it was her swaying hips that seemed to catch Alan's attention.

Alan couldn't help but smirk as he watched her leave, admiring the seductive sway of her plump buttocks. However, he resisted the urge to act upon his desires. He understood that the timing was not yet right to push the boundaries of their master-slave relationship.

Instead, he decided to bide his time and let Yang Xin's loyalty and favorability toward him grow.

The day of the Treasure Auction arrived, and as Yang Xin had predicted, Nie Li and the entire Heavenly Marks Family were in attendance. Their presence at the auction indicated their interest in acquiring rare and valuable treasures.

Alan, too, was present at the auction, accompanied by Yang Xin. She had taken the initiative to book a VIP room for the two of them, ensuring that they had a prime view of the auction floor. The room was situated on the highest floor, with a small window that allowed them to observe the proceedings below.

As they entered the VIP room, Yang Xin took the role of a dutiful servant. She moved to set a chair for Alan, who remained calm and composed. She intended to take a much smaller chair for herself and remain inconspicuous.

However, before she could seat herself, Alan's commanding voice cut through the air, stopping her in her tracks. "Sit on my lap," he said with a calm tone.

Yang Xin's heart raced, and she was taken aback by the audacity of his command. Her fear of Alan was deeply ingrained, but she couldn't help feeling a sense of disgust at the idea. She hesitated, her body tense with resistance.

Alan, remaining composed, met her hesitation with a cold, unwavering glare. He knew that to gain her loyalty, he had to break her current mindset. This was just one step in that process. His voice grew firmer as he ordered her again, "Sit on my lap, Yang Xin. This is not a command you can disobey."

The weight of his authority pressed down on her, and the fear that had always been present intensified. Yang Xin's resistance crumbled, and she slowly, reluctantly moved to sit on Alan's lap, her heart heavy with a mix of emotions.

"Good," Alan's whispered command sent shivers down Yang Xin's spine. She trembled visibly, the mixture of fear and the discomfort of her position weighing heavily on her.

As Alan's hands moved over her body, he treated her as nothing more than a plaything, fondling and enjoying her body as he pleased. He treated her as an object to be enjoyed at his leisure, and his casual demeanor only added to her sense of degradation.

Amidst this unfolding scene, Alan's eyes were fixed on the woman announcer, who had taken the stage to commence the auction. She was dressed provocatively in skimpy attire with a low neckline, leaving little to the imagination. Her large breasts were on display, and her sultry presence added an enticing atmosphere to the event.

The announcer began with an introduction, setting the tone for the auction and briefly describing the items that would be presented. She maintained a sense of mystery about the final item, which only added to the anticipation in the room.

Alan's focus, however, remained on a different matter. He was more interested in discerning which items Nie Li might have set his sights on. His intention was clear: he would purchase all the items that held Nie Li's interest, and with Yang Xin under his control, it was a simple matter of making this happen.

The auction was set into motion as the sultry-voiced announcer took the stage, her words dripping with a sensuous undertone. She began introducing the items, each treasure accompanied by a detailed history and explanation.

As the various treasures were showcased, the attendees became engrossed in detailed information. Ancient artifacts, precious gems, and rare herbs all found their place in the limelight, enticing the crowd with their rarity and beauty. Spirited bidding battles erupted as fortunes exchanged hands, electrifying the atmosphere.

Amid the plethora of treasures, Nie Li maintained a passive demeanor, his focus never wavering. It was evident he was waiting for something specific, biding his time.

"Ah, this next piece," the sultry announcer purred, "is a true gem from a bygone era, with a history steeped in mystery and legend."

Then, the pivotal moment arrived when the legendary Gold Rank Suit was revealed. Its exceptional protective capabilities and unmatched durability were widely renowned, and its gleaming surface testified to the masterful craftsmanship that had brought it to life.

Nie Li, who had been patiently waiting, seized the opportunity he had longed for. His determination shone in his eyes as he made a bold bid.

"700,000 Demon Spirit Coins," he declared, igniting the bidding war.

The sudden jump in the bidding took many by surprise. "Bold move," murmured one attendee, their eyes fixed on the determined young man.

However, Nie Li's determination was unwavering. He was determined not to let this rare treasure slip through his grasp.

In the VIP room, Alan, with Yang Xin on his lap, couldn't resist a sly smirk as he leaned in. "Let's make things interesting, Yang Xin."

With that, Alan entered the fray. He raised his bid for the Gold Rank Suit, immediately increasing the price to a staggering 1 million Demon Spirit Coins. The room buzzed with a mix of anticipation and shock at the audacious move.

Nie Li, equally resolute in his desire to obtain the coveted armor, was momentarily taken aback by the substantial bid. However, he refused to back down, raising his offer to 1.5 million Demon Spirit Coins.

Alan, seemingly unfazed, raised his bid once more, confidently declaring, "2 million Demon Spirit Coins." The room was electrified with tension as the bidding war continued, both parties displaying their unwavering determination.

"Two million!" came a voice from the crowd. "That man is relentless."

The auction room was filled with whispers, excitement, and a sense of foreboding as the price for the legendary Gold Rank Suit continued to climb.
