Time passed in the blink of an eye and another three years passed, in the back garden of the city lord's palace in Nanfeng Holy City.
Ye Feng and Hong Wuyou's twin sons are almost four years old. The two little guys can talk now, and they are like two little adults now.
Not only that, there was a little girl who was only over two years old playing with them. This was not their sister, but their aunt.
Hong Qi and Po'er's second child was also born, and is now this big. Now he plays with Ye Feng's twin sons every day, chasing each other and playing around every day.
Not only that, the baby is now pregnant again, but this time it’s still a daughter, and she’s about to give birth to another baby in about half a year.
The back garden is very lively and full of life because of the presence of several children.
When Hong Qi returned here after finishing the affairs of the City Lord's Mansion, the three children immediately rushed into his arms and pulled his beard.
Hong Qi smiled from ear to ear, holding three children at once. The fatigue of the day disappeared without a trace after seeing the children's laughter.
"Why did you come back just now..."
Po'er felt a little resentful: "Did you bring the sour plums I like to eat?"
"Of course I did. How dare I forget your wife's instructions..."
Hong Qi chuckled, flipped his right hand, and took out a small basket of light green sour plums. The three children immediately turned their attention to this fruit.
However, Hong Qi had already prepared some, and even prepared some for his wife Po'er to eat.
"Mom, you can't eat so much at one time."
When Hong Wuyou saw his mother, he opened his mouth and swallowed two pills. He quickly stepped forward to stop her and took away the basket of sour plums: "The baby is due in a few months. Don't make my future sister sad..."
"What's the big deal? I just want to eat a few pills. If I don't eat them all day, I won't be able to sleep..."
Fu'er has a big belly. This is her third child and she will give birth in about half a year.
Hong Qi said from the side: "Take as many pills as you want and let her go..."
"If you eat too much, the children will become obsessed with this thing..."
Hong Wuyou was a little speechless and turned to look at the three little kids over there. It was because she and her mother ate too much of this stuff when they were pregnant with the child. As a result, even at such a young age, she was now shouting for it every day.
This thing is just like having an addiction.
"It doesn't matter. This kind of sour plum is actually half a kind of spiritual fruit. Eat more and your brain will be smarter."
Hong Qi was happy to see them eating these. When his daughter wasn't paying attention, Po'er grabbed three more from there and threw them into his mouth.
"Mother……"
Hong Wuyou was also speechless for a while, and Po'er smiled, just like a child, she is now.
"People say that being pregnant for three years is stupid. Mother, you are really..."
Seeing that his mother, who was at the level of a demon fairy, was now just like a child, Hong Wuyou was also a little speechless.
Such a mother is completely different from the mother who is so strict with me.
"You're still talking about me, you..."
Po'er rolled his eyes at her and said, "You were like this a few years ago, eating two baskets a day..."
"Uh, is there any?"
Hong Wuyou pretended not to hear, and Po'er secretly ate two more pieces. The three children over there also ate and squeaked loudly.
At this time, Ye Feng came out of the inner hall. When he saw Hong Qi, he quickly said hello.
"Father, is there any news about my father?" When Ye Feng was chatting with Hong Qi, he asked about his father's situation via voice transmission.
His father has been away for almost five years, and there is still no news at all. As a son, he is really worried about him.
Hong Qi shook his head and sent a message to him: "With your father's cultivation and intelligence, I believe there will be no trouble."
"And recently, many of the Five Elements Lands under the jurisdiction of the Holy City have experienced abnormalities..."
Hong Qi said: "It should be all done by your father, and no one else, so he won't have any surprises..."
"Well, where was the previous accident?" Ye Feng asked.
Hong Qi thought for a while and said: "The latest news should be about the Huatai Golden Vein in the Western Region half a month ago..."
"The power of the golden spirit there has disappeared a lot. The Southwest King of the Western Regions sent a message and wanted me to send someone there."
Hong Qi said: "Your father should have been there at that time. His father, the Southwest King, had nothing to do. He sent several groups of people to go deep, but there was no reply."
"Then can I go and take a look now?" Ye Feng was a little curious. He wanted to see how his father practiced in seclusion.
Hong Qi thought for a while and said to him, "You'd better not go. Your father told me before he left. Don't disturb him. He will come back if anything happens."
"Besides, it's been almost twenty days since this happened. The Huatai Jinmai side may have been settled long ago. Your father has been traveling around the major Five Elements lands in the past few years at a very fast speed. He often doesn't stay in one place for more than one person.
Yue, even if you go there now, you don’t know where his next place will be.” Hong Qi’s words extinguished Ye Feng’s thoughts.
Ye Feng thought for a while and said: "That's all, I won't go and see it, but father, I also have something to discuss with you."
"Xiao Feng, why are you so polite to me?" Hong Qi said, he was sincerely satisfied with this son-in-law of the Ye family, and he had helped him a lot in the past few years.
Although his cultivation has only just entered the realm of the Great Demon God, Ye Feng's combat power is not weak at all. It can be said to be surprising, and he is as defiant as his father back then.
"It's like this. I want to retreat for a while. My mood has been unstable in the past few years. I may need to retreat." Ye Feng said.
"Retreat?"
Hong Qi asked: "Do you want to go into seclusion?"
Ye Feng nodded: "It may take a few years, or even ten or eight years..."
"Since we are going to retreat, you can just retreat with peace of mind."
Hong Qi said: "Should you stay in the house or retreat in my or your mother-in-law's universe?"
"I am in your universe, mother-in-law. She may be busy in the past few years, and I'm afraid it will affect her." Ye Feng thought for a while and said.
Ful'er will give birth to her third child in half a year, and judging from the way she and Hong Qi are doing, there may be a few more babies in the next few years, and Ful'er herself won't give up until at least a son is born.
It's not that her daughter is not good, it's just Po'er's own idea. While she can still give birth, she should give Hong Qi a few more children as soon as possible. Then she will be safe in the future and will not think about having children again.
.
Although female practitioners also have a long career of cultivating immortals, and the period of time they can have children is also very long. Even if they can give birth to one hundred and eighty children in a lifetime, it is not a problem, but no woman wants to, and she just wants to be a fertility machine.
"Well, that's okay."
Hong Qi said: "Since you want to retreat, you can go to retreat with peace of mind. As a father, I will take good care of You'er and your children, so you don't need to worry about these things."
"Well, thank you father." Ye Feng saluted.
"Be polite to me."
Hong Qi smiled and asked him when he would go into seclusion so that he could prepare for the world of Qiankun.
"Let's wait a few days. After the Nanshang auction is over, I will go to retreat."
There are still two and a half days until the Nanshang Auction is held again. This is also the busiest time in the Holy City. Now that Fu'er has to raise a baby, the whole thing is on Hong Qi, so Ye Feng naturally wants to help.
"Yeah, that's fine."
Thinking of the upcoming Nanshang auction, Hong Qi also had a headache.
He also wanted to go into seclusion, but the time was too fragmented, and there was only one year between each two auctions.
When it comes to retreat, one year is not enough. Sometimes it can take decades, and sometimes it can take hundreds of years.
Therefore, it is impossible to shut him up in seclusion. He must come out to take charge of affairs. Otherwise, other people will threaten him, and if he has the opportunity, he can take a copy of it from the fairy city above.
Especially in the past few years, the Northern Prince has been busy with activities and has always wanted to replace himself as the city lord. If something goes wrong again, it is very likely that he will be blamed.
…
Two and a half days have passed in a blink of an eye. In the evening of that day, it will be time for the Nanshang Auction to start. There is only half an hour left.
Hong Qi, Ye Feng and others were preparing to leave for Nanshang Manor, but before they left the City Lord's Mansion, another uninvited guest came to the City Lord's Mansion.
"It turns out to be Master Lin..."
The visitor was none other than the great leader in white, Lin Di. After more than five years, she came here again.
"City Lord Hong is planning to go to Nanshang Manor, right?"
Lin Di said with a smile: "I wonder if I can go with you to see the grand scene of Nanshang Auction..."
"Of course there is no problem with this..."
When he saw Lin Cheng coming, Hong Qi didn't know what kind of medicine she was selling in the gourd. Maybe it was to keep an eye on him and prevent him from selling it in the auction again.
It's just that he has never bid at auctions in the past few years. He only bid for the three humanoid ice sculptures in the past few years.
"Well, thank you City Master Hong, let's go."
Lin Di expressed her gratitude, but her eyes caught sight of Ye Feng beside him. This boy seemed familiar to her.
"Who is this fellow Taoist?" Lin Di felt that Ye Feng and Ye Chu were somewhat similar.
"Oh, this is my son-in-law Ye Feng..."
Hong Qi did not hide anything from her, and introduced her that this was his son-in-law, Ye Chu's son Ye Feng.
"It turns out to be his son."
Lin Di didn't show too much anger, he was just thinking in his heart that this boy was the son of that bastard Ye Chu, and that bastard seemed to be no longer in Nanfeng Holy City.
"It's interesting, it's interesting. If there is a chance, I will teach your son a lesson, and he actually married Hong Wuyou..."
"How eager is this Hong Qi for his daughter to marry Ye Chu's son?"
Lin Di did not reveal anything, and the group quickly arrived at Nanshang Village. The others went to a box next door. Hong Qi, Ye Feng, and Lin Di stayed in the same box.
Hong Wuyou, Fu'er and the others did not come out to watch the auction. They were now in Hong Qi's universe with their children.
This was something Hong Qi and the others had discussed a long time ago. To prevent any emergencies from happening, it would be best to take the family into the Qiankun world first, so that they can respond at any time.
After a while, the altar in the box lit up, and a human-shaped light and shadow floated in the middle.
"Welcome everyone, it's the new Nanshang Auction. We will have certain changes in this auction..."
"This auction will adopt blind bidding rules. The general rule is to first put the items you need to participate in the auction or exchange into the altar, and we will randomly match the items that are most suitable for you..."
"Due to the blind auction rules, the matching time will be relatively long, so this auction will take about four hours. But the advantage is that every cultivator in the box will have the opportunity to obtain the corresponding match.
We will provide matching lots for the lots. If you agree to the exchange or the transaction is completed, the transaction will be completed directly."
"The number of items auctioned this time will be several hundred, several times more than before, so the chance of a sale is much greater."
As soon as the words of the humanoid light and shadow came out, it immediately triggered discussions among billions of people. Many people were complaining about why they couldn't find a way to enter Nanshang Village.
In this way, the chance of a transaction is much greater, and it may even be possible for everyone who enters to get their own suitable lot.
Especially the immortal cultivators in the various boxes in Nanshang Manor are also very happy at this time. Everyone can take out the best things in advance, or put in the things you need to exchange first.
The auction will match you with the corresponding items. If you think it is suitable, you can exchange it and the deal will be completed. If you think it is not suitable, it will be returned to you. There is no loss. It can be said that this is a big reform.
"This auction is really unique. It is said that in the past, the auction items were displayed one by one, but now none of the items are displayed..."
Lin Di sat aside and heard such a rule change. He smiled and said to Hong Qi: "City Lord Hong, your brothers will be even busier in the future. I'm afraid all the strong men will step on your threshold."
…”
"Hey, no one knows that they will make such a change."
Hong Qi didn't think this was a good thing: "I still wanted to be quiet and peaceful, but now it's better, I can't be completely clean..."
"Haha, the Lord of Hongcheng has a high position and has a lot of power in this Nanfeng Holy City. It would be a good thing to have more power concentrated..."
Lin Di smiled and said, "I wonder what City Lord Hong will bring to match the auction this time. Do you want to play with it too?"
"I?"
Hong Qi smiled and said: "I don't have any treasures on me, but Master Lin, you can't just look at them this time, you have to come up with some treasures to match..."
"That's natural, just have fun when you come."
After Lin Di smiled, he turned his right hand, took out a third-level mustard seed, and threw it on the altar over there.
She looked at Ye Feng next to her: "Son-in-law of the city lord, you can have some fun too..."
"I?"
Ye Feng was a little surprised. He always felt that this woman's smile was a little weird. There was a knife hidden in the smile, as if she had bad intentions.
It's just that this Lin is beautiful, as beautiful as a fairy. In terms of beauty and temperament, she is definitely better than his wife Hong Wuyou. Could it be that she has fallen in love with him?
"Impossible, this woman must have ulterior motives."
Ye Feng smiled and said: "Since the headmaster is interested in elegance, let me come up with something to try. But please don't laugh at me when you see this..."
He turned his right hand and took out a sword, which was made by Chen Sanliu and the others.
"This sword is pretty good. Can you show it to me first?" Lin Di's eyes lit up when he saw the sword.
"Please take a look."
Ye Feng was not stingy and gave it to Lin Di respectfully. Lin Di took the sword and looked at it carefully.
It wasn't the material of the sword that attracted her so much. She was in a high position, had seen countless treasures, and had seen a lot of things made of good materials.
But the runes on this sword are a bit strange. They seem to be totems, but they don't look like totems.
Lin Di asked: "What kind of talisman is on this? Is it a blessing circle or a seal?"
"Well, this is a kind of curse seal." Ye Feng said.
"Curse seal?"
Lin Di felt sad, and then said to him: "I don't know what you want to exchange for. I wonder if you can give me your love..."
"Master Lin, do you like this sword?"
Hong Qi was a little surprised. He knew about the sword that Ye Feng took out, and he also knew that Ye Feng had many such weapons.
These weapons were all refined by Ye Chu's brothers, Chen Sanliu and Chen Sanqi. In Ye Chu's universe world, such weapons were forged in batches.
"Well, there is something interesting about this sword. I do like it a bit."
Lin Di smiled slightly, Hong Qi looked at Ye Feng, and seeing what Ye Feng meant, Ye Feng was also very generous: "Since the headmaster likes this sword, you can just take it without having to exchange it."
"That won't work."
Lin Di smiled slightly, flipped his right hand, and sent out another third-level mustard seed: "How can I take advantage of a junior? It's just a little care, don't be too little."
"You are serious."
Ye Feng was not polite to her and accepted the mustard seed without looking at what was inside for the time being.
Hong Qi also smiled, took out a mustard seed and threw it into the altar, just to join in the fun.
Ye Feng's sword was taken away by Lin Di, and he didn't bring anything else out for the filming for the time being. He came here to prevent any accidents, to help Hong Qi keep an eye on the scene, and to accompany Hong Qi by the way, otherwise he would be alone
People here are also a little bored.
Because the rules of the auction have been changed now, there will be nearly an hour before everyone is allowed to put their own treasures, heavenly materials and earthly treasures, into the altar one by one.
Then, behind the altar, these treasures will be matched one by one with the auction items they took out. This will take a long time, probably more than an hour.
After more than an hour, the private room seemed a little boring, but Lin Di still found a way to chat with Ye Feng, including his father.
"Speaking of your father, I have some connections with him."
Lin Di told him about Ye Chu: "Your father and I knew each other in the early years. We were old acquaintances when we were in the Immortal Prison."
"Well, I heard my father mention that he seemed to have been a servant in the Immortal Prison." Ye Feng also responded carefully and would not reveal anything about his father.
But he also knew that Lin Di should have checked it out a long time ago, not to mention that Hong Qi secretly warned him and asked him to be wary of some Lin Di.
A few years ago, Lin Di came to Ye Chu with a face full of resentment. Apparently there was some quarrel between the two of them. Hong Qi also asked Ye Chu about it afterwards, but Ye Chu didn't speak too clearly, but he could still listen.
Come out, there must be a misunderstanding between the two.
"Yes, when your father first entered the path of immortality, he caused a sensation in the immortal prison." Lin Di said.
"sensation?"
Ye Feng didn't know about this, maybe he wasn't even born at that time.
"That's right. When your father entered the Immortal Road from the Jiuhua Red Dust Realm, he was the first batch of cultivators to set foot on the Immortal Road. Generally speaking, he would directly enter the Immortal Road, major cities, and various places.
Experienced in a dangerous place. However, your father got the favor of the prison master and directly became the prison master of the fairy prison."
Regarding these matters, Lin Di had already investigated clearly: "This is a supreme honor. At least I have been in the Immortal Prison for thousands of years. It is the first time for someone like your father to become the prison master directly.
"
"Oh, my father is indeed a genius..." Ye Feng said.
"Haha, yes, Ye Chu is indeed amazing."
Seeing that Ye Feng was so wary of him, Lin Di thought that there was nothing he could do to trick him. It seemed that he couldn't find anything to say.
As for the relationship between Ye Chu and the Prison Master, the people in their Immortal Prison have been guessing. Not only her, the leader, but also the people in the old Pavilion Alliance are also guessing. The managers of the entire Immortal Prison are also guessing.
Guess.
Especially this time, the prison master kissed Ye Chu and returned to be an immortal envoy, which once again caused a sensation among the people in the immortal prison.
What's even more weird is that Ye Chu didn't pay attention to her at all, and sent Lin Di, the great master in white, to invite her personally, but Ye Chu didn't agree either.
The reason why Lin Di came here now is because she has other things to discuss with Ye Chu, or to see what Ye Chu's attitude is. But seeing that Ye Chu's son is so big now,
She is now considering whether to mention this matter again.
What is the relationship between the prison master and Ye Chu? She wanted to ask and find out, but it seems that she can't see Ye Chu now.
She was pregnant with Ye Chu's child back then, but now it's been more than five years. Under her seemingly loose robe, her belly has actually swelled quite a bit, but it's hard for outsiders to notice.
She also didn't understand why she had been pregnant with a child for more than five years and still hadn't given birth, while others were pregnant for ten months. So she felt that this must have something to do with Ye Chu's bloodline. Now the child is here
She had been in her belly for more than five years, and she was even more reluctant to wipe it out.
Looking at Ye Feng like this, she seemed to have seen that her future children would look somewhat similar to Ye Chu.
"This woman looks at me strangely..."
Ye Feng was looked at by Lin Di several times, which made him feel a little frightened. After thinking for a long time, he suddenly remembered.
"By the way, it looks very similar to the way my mother looks at me..."
Ye Feng felt a little numb: "This woman doesn't think that I look like her son, right? What are you doing looking at me with such eyes? Does she like young men who look like her son?"
Thinking of this, Ye Feng felt even stranger.
As for Lin Di, he was also thinking about his own things, drinking tea and waiting for the highlight of the auction.
The highlight is what kind of auction each person's treasure will match, and whether there will be some top-notch fairy materials.
More than an hour passed in the blink of an eye, and after waiting for nearly an hour and a half, the light and shadow of the human figure on the altar finally lit up again.
The humanoid light and shadow said: "Thank you everyone for waiting. We will start the highlight of our auction immediately. This time everyone is very enthusiastic and many treasures of heaven and earth have appeared. We have specially increased the number of items. There will be a thousand items in total.
The auction items match everyone’s treasures.”
"If everyone is satisfied, there will be two small light buttons outside the altar, one red and one green. The red one means rejecting the transaction and the treasure will be returned. The green one means agreeing to the transaction, and the auction item will appear in the box. You
We will take away the treasure."
The words of human-shaped light and shadow made billions of people excited. This time, a thousand treasures were matched.
"My dear, with a thousand treasures, I will really make a fortune..."
"We must find a way to follow him into Nanshang Village next year..."
"Yes, even if we can't get in, we can find those who can get in and find a way to get them to take us in..."
"I heard that there is an invitation to Shangguan's house. You only need to present the appropriate treasure to enter..."
"Some people can do it, they have to find a way to get in..."
A thousand treasures were actually matched. It can be said that this auction is becoming more and more interesting. It immediately caused a sensation among all the immortal cultivators. This is the first time in so many Nanshang auctions that so many treasures have appeared.
