Chapter 2231 - 2227: It Has Appeared

Chapter 2231: Chapter 2227: It Has Appeared

She had just sat down when a flamboyantly dressed fat man rushed in from outside.

"Miss, miss."

The fat man placed both hands on the wooden table in front of Yingmeisi and started gasping for air.

Yingmeisi raised an eyebrow. This fat man named Gang Bo was the head of Wanghuang City’s auction house and was loyally devoted to her father. Over the years, all the Immortal Artifacts refined by Barton Nake were brought to auction by him.

He could be considered one of the most valuable people in the City Lord Mansion.

Gang Bo was usually steady; whenever he saw Yingmeisi, he would bow, smile, and then begin speaking.

This was the first time he had come running in, sweating profusely.

"What’s the matter, Uncle Gang Bo? Speak slowly. Isn’t the auction still two days away?"

Yingmeisi smiled at Gang Bo and then spoke.

Gang Bo’s face broke into an excited smile: "Miss, the item Master Nak asked me to keep an eye on has appeared."

"What?"

Yingmeisi’s eyes narrowed.

Nak required a Treasure to melt Magic Iron Ore, and every department in Wanghuang City had to be extremely vigilant. If it appeared, they were to report immediately.

This order was given by Yingmeisi. She knew very well how much her uncle and father valued that piece of Demon Iron.

Just a little more, if not for being blocked, her uncle would have to sacrifice his dignity to negotiate with Hu Sanqiu.

"Miss, someone just came to the auction house to sell something called Sky Melting Ointment. Just a little can melt Heavenly Diamond into liquid. I think the item Master Nak needs might be this."

Gang Bo looked at Yingmeisi with excitement.

Yingmeisi nodded and then said, "Uncle Gang Bo, come with me. I want to meet the person auctioning the Sky Melting Ointment. Someone, go inform my father and uncle to come to the auction house."

The City Lord Mansion required something that could smelt Demon Iron, and suddenly someone came to auction Sky Melting Ointment, which made Yingmeisi suspect it might be a conspiracy. Thus, she felt she should meet the person auctioning the Sky Melting Ointment.

Tang Ming arrived at the auction house just when it opened. Since it wasn’t an auction day, there weren’t many people there.

Most people in Wanghuang City came to buy Immortal Artifacts refined by Artifact Refining Masters, rather than selling items.

Upon hearing someone came to auction items, the auction house attendant was quite surprised, but she quickly led Tang Ming to the room where Gang Bo was. ℴ

Gang Bo, like the attendant, was curious about someone coming to sell items and inquired about what Tang Ming intended to sell.

The first item Tang Ming produced was Sky Melting Ointment.

The effect of Sky Melting Ointment surprised Gang Bo; he was even excited.

He hurriedly instructed the attendant to take good care of Tang Ming and then rushed to the City Lord Mansion.

Tang Ming came early with purpose. Yesterday, Hu Sanqiu had mentioned buying ore to him. This trip to Wanghuang City seemed pointless if he couldn’t obtain assistance from Barton Nake and Barton Nock from the City Lord Mansion; he wouldn’t be able to buy even one piece of ore.

Therefore, Tang Ming felt that with the Sky Melting Ointment, as long as that Master Nak desired such a good smelting material, he would definitely compromise with him.

A knock sounded outside.

Hu Mei’er looked up at Tang Ming, and Tang Ming nodded: "Come in."

The door was pushed open from outside, and it wasn’t the aging Master Nak who walked in, but a noble-looking woman with a beautiful appearance.

The woman first surveyed Hu Mei’er who was holding Hu Sanqiu, and then fixed her gaze on Tang Ming: "Is this the friend auctioning Sky Melting Ointment?"

"Ah, it’s Miss Yingmeisi. Hello, I’m Tang Ming. This is my girlfriend, Hu Mei’er."

Hu Sanqiu sent a message to Tang Ming, informing him that this woman was the same Yingmeisi who had troubled her yesterday.

So Tang Ming directly addressed her by name. He believed that with Yingmeisi’s approach to things, she would definitely investigate his identity.

Yingmeisi smiled and then said: "I know you, Mr. Tang Ming, Miss Hu Mei’er. It seems we really have fate; yesterday I was having a meal with Predecessor Sanqiu and my master at Sunrise Building. I wonder if you’ve eaten breakfast. Should I set another table at Sunrise Building?"

"Miss Yingmeisi, you’re too kind. We’re not here to freeload; I urgently need some ore, so I want to use Sky Melting Ointment to exchange for a batch of ore from Wanghuang City. I wonder if Wanghuang City could make this deal with me."

Tang Ming smiled brightly at Yingmeisi.

But Yingmeisi fell silent. She wasn’t afraid of Tang Ming haggling, but she feared his straightforwardness. After all, there was the relationship with Hu Jiuze, and her uncle was in great need of Sky Melting Ointment.

This made it difficult for her to handle.

"Regarding the ore, Predecessor Sanqiu might have mentioned it to you, Mr. Tang Ming. Our Wanghuang City also has its difficulties. The fact is, many cities in the Demon Slayer Clan are operating in deficit, and if I allocate such a batch of ore, other cities might have complaints."

Yingmeisi sighed deeply and then spoke.

Tang Ming nodded; he had learned this yesterday. These people from the Demon Slayer Clan had lived underground in caves for many years, primarily focusing on rearing a type of Demon Beast known as Night Vision Rabbits.

Upon reaching the surface, although they occupied cities, not every city had resources, nor could every city engage in commerce, so most relied on agriculture.

While farming, they discovered it’s an incredibly difficult endeavor. The grains they produced were far from sufficient for sustenance.

Therefore, much of the Spirit Stone earned by the Demon Slayer Clan was used to purchase food for the clan members.

Upon learning this, Tang Ming’s first thought was to become a grain merchant. Since the Demon Abyss invaded Taoyuan World, the lands here were heavily demonized, causing food shortages and price spikes to occur frequently.

To establish a strong West Continent City, solving the food issue was also a priority.

This was why Tang Ming was able to resolve the demonized land issue, making Fox Bachang extremely excited and acknowledging Tang Ming’s status.

"I understand all of this. However, I assume you have accumulated some ore. These ores are incredibly precious to us. Let me be frank, I’m planning to rebuild West Continent City, meaning we’ll need even more ore. You know what kind of life the Demon Slayer Clan has led for many years, Yingmeisi. Have you ever thought about living a life of abundance and security?"

Tang Ming smiled at Yingmeisi and then asked.

"Mr. Tang Ming can enable the Demon Slayer Clan to live a life of abundance and security."
