Most of the people present were of foreign races, and they naturally knew Fu Jinyu's identity.
One of the black-robed men shouted loudly, "Do you have the ability to cripple her? I don't want to be killed by her when I'm trying to have a child with her."
"Of course we do. This cage is the critical point of our power. As long as they can't break it, it proves our power is stronger, and crippling them will be a piece of cake."
The middle-aged man on the stage explained with a smile.
"Good! I bid five hundred pounds."
The black-robed man raised his hand with a smile.
"I bid six hundred pounds!"
"Six hundred and fifty!"
...
"I bid one thousand pounds!"
A young man's voice came over.
Xu Mu looked ahead; the voice belonged to Wu Tian.
Obviously, he had also set his sights on Fu Jinyu. In the original plot, Fu Jinyu was his woman.
Xu Mu narrowed his eyes, his brain working rapidly.
From what he just saw, the gaps in the cage were real, because Fu Jinyu's Qi could erupt outward.
Since it could erupt outward, it proved the space wasn't completely sealed.
In that case, whether it was his Shape-Shifting or his god-level technique, Phantom Kill, they could both penetrate the cage.
This meant Xu Mu could easily rescue Fu Jinyu.
Thinking of this, Xu Mu moved forward and sat down in the middle area.
He raised his hand and said in an old, hoarse voice, "Two thousand pounds!"
Hearing this, the surrounding crowd broke into an uproar.
Two thousand pounds of spirit stones was a whole ton. Using so many spirit stones in exchange for a woman.
In the eyes of most, it wasn't worth it.
Especially someone as proud as Fu Jinyu. Forcing her to bear children might just make her commit suicide.
The only thing one could do was keep her tied up the whole time, but even then, what if the child's talent still turned out mediocre?
It would be better to exchange these resources for heavenly materials and earthly treasures to improve one's own strength.
Wu Tian glanced back in Xu Mu's direction, then stared at Fu Jinyu in the vine cage.
He certainly knew the relationship between this Fu Jinyu and Xu Mu.
Last time in the Inner Realm, he had seen with his own eyes that Fu Jinyu, unafraid of death, chose to stand with Xu Mu.
She was countless times better than the cowardly Shi Fumeng who feared death.
Wu Tian admired this kind of woman. If she could be used by him, it would be like adding wings to a tiger.
His current goal was to forcefully wedge himself between Xu Mu and Fu Jinyu.
He had already made up his mind to spend a fortune to buy Fu Jinyu, but he wouldn't do anything to her.
Instead, he would let her go. A person with Fu Jinyu's personality would definitely remember this favor.
After that, he would gradually draw closer to Fu Jinyu, thereby poaching her from Xu Mu's side.
Whether it was Fu Jinyu's personality, or her appearance and figure, she perfectly matched Wu Tian's aesthetic preferences.
He secretly swore in his heart that he must bring Fu Jinyu to his side.
Leaving aside Fu Jinyu's combat power, just for that power of lightning, Wu Tian planned to take a bite every day.
"Two thousand pounds, and I'll add ten more."
Wu Tian raised his hand and said.
For this woman, he decided to take a gamble. Last time at a certain ruin, he had luckily obtained two tons of spirit stones by chance.
He didn't believe anyone could outbid him.
"Fighting with me over a woman?"
Xu Mu continued in his old voice, "Two thousand five hundred!"
Wu Tian didn't even blink, "Two thousand five hundred plus ten."
The more he spent, the bigger the favor Fu Jinyu would owe him.
"I bid three thousand pounds!"
Xu Mu looked at Wu Tian, "Little friend, keep bidding if you have the guts!"
Wu Tian narrowed his eyes. It seemed this person had reached his limit, so he said indifferently, "Then I'll do three thousand pounds, plus ten."
The surrounding onlookers were all dumbfounded.
Many of them had been here dozens of times, and usually, the highest bid was only a thousand pounds of spirit stones.
Most of the time, it was race patriarchs who were forced into a bidding war to ransom their clan's geniuses.
As for ordinary women, the highest was usually seven or eight hundred pounds.
They didn't expect that today, to fight for Fu Jinyu, the bid would reach three thousand pounds.
Xu Mu was also thinking at this moment. He wasn't sure how many spirit stones Wu Tian had, but three thousand pounds was already quite a lot.
At worst, when fighting over this level-ten destiny heroine in the end, the two of them would just battle it out.
"You win."
After Xu Mu spoke, he sat down silently.
Wu Tian revealed a cold sneer. Although his heart ached terribly over the cost, as long as he could win Fu Jinyu's favor, he felt none of this was a problem.
"Good! Three thousand and ten pounds, any higher bids?"
The middle-aged man on the stage smiled, "It seems there are no more bids, so it's a deal."
As he spoke, a black hole appeared on the stage. Just like before, prior to taking ownership of Fu Jinyu, the spirit stones needed to be counted.
Wu Tian took out his ring, and large chunks of spirit stones appeared on the stage.
Fu Jinyu was still struggling violently at this time. She stared fixedly at Wu Tian, "Let me tell you! As soon as you let me out, you'll be the first one I kill!"
Wu Tian just smiled and said nothing. In a moment, if he did nothing and simply promised to let Fu Jinyu leave, she would surely thank him.
As the spirit stones were counted, these people hauled the spirit stones away and disappeared.
The middle-aged man on the stage looked at Wu Tian and asked, "She is yours now. Do you want to..."
Before the middle-aged man could finish speaking, Fu Jinyu suddenly disappeared from the cage, replaced by a black-robed person.
This person was none other than Xu Mu. He deliberately took off the hood of his black robe, revealing the appearance of a bald old man.
Buzz!
This old man also disappeared from the cage, and in his place, Wu Tian was now inside.
"What the hell?"
Wu Tian didn't react at first.
Fu Jinyu widened her eyes in disbelief, and then her face filled with pleasant surprise, "Xu..."
[Favorability +40]
Before she could finish, a teleportation token was stuffed into her hand.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man on the stage quickly shouted, "Catch them!"
Rumble!
A full seven or eight four-headed monsters flew toward Xu Mu and Fu Jinyu.
The two quickly separated and fled toward the outside of the city.
Seeing this, Wu Tian's eyes practically split with rage. He looked at the middle-aged man beside him, "You must catch her for me, otherwise, you have to refund the spirit stones from just now."
"Our transaction is already complete. It's your fault for not keeping her secure. We will try our best to catch them, but if we really can't, the spirit stones will not be refunded."
The middle-aged man on the stage said with a smile, "Besides, you are the one captured now."
"You... damn it!"
[Destiny Power -30]
Wu Tian was exasperated. Three thousand pounds of spirit stones, 1.5 tons, how many heavenly materials and earthly treasures could that have been exchanged for?
If they really didn't catch her, wouldn't he have just thrown it all away for nothing?
He spent so many spirit stones without gaining a single bit of favor, only to end up doing all the work for someone else's benefit.
"Fine, I'll listen to you. Let me out first."
Wu Tian tried hard to regain his composure.
The middle-aged man in theatrical costume smiled and placed his hand on the cage where Wu Tian was held.
Nalan Shisan also widened his eyes at this moment. Without even needing to think, he knew it must be Xu Mu who had arrived.
It's just that, escaping like this, would he still save him?
...
On the other side, the four-headed monsters split up to give chase.
Xu Mu suddenly hid in the woods and dispelled the illusion array, returning to his original appearance.
The monsters were obviously tracking their targets by appearance. They merely glanced at Xu Mu before continuing to fly off into the distance.
Not long after, Fu Jinyu also appeared beside Xu Mu using a teleportation token.
"Xu Mu, thank you."
Fu Jinyu had already changed into a black robe by this time.
"Where is your brain? Did it all go to your chest? In the future, if you run into anything dangerous, remember to discuss it with me first."
Xu Mu glared at Fu Jinyu. "You head out first. I still have things to take care of here."
He still had to head back. Even though that Xianling Nan was not a good person, he had to stop the plot from unfolding between Wu Tian and that woman.
If the number one female lead fell into Wu Tian's hands, he would definitely become unstoppable in the future.
