Runaway Goddess: Mischievous Third Miss

Chapter 5 - Want A Partnership

The Silver Cauldron Auction House is very lively as many treasures was presented like weapon artifacts, high grade pills and elixirs and jewels that can only be found at the bottom of the sea. Despite the liveliness of the surroundings, Ren Zhilan still has a blank expression. For ordinary people, the auctioned items are priceless but in her eyes those things are only nothing.

She has lived for eons of years and she has many who worshiped her despite being a god who cause calamity and destruction. Gold, jewels and divine artifacts are only worldly things. It doesn't have any value into her eyes. But her situation is different now as she is now a human and not the infamous Chaos Goddess.

All she can do is to go with the flow.

After the battlefield for the auctioned items, it was finally over. Some are happy and some are crestfallen for not obtaining the items they d.e.s.i.r.e. Ren Zhilan unhurriedly went to the hostess for tonight.

"Wait," Ren Zhilan said that made Qu Mei stop.

Qu Mei stops and turns around to see a handsome youth. The youth is around sixteen or seventeen years old. He may be handsome but not to the point of making women fall on their knees and worship him but his calm dark eyes will make you look at it like being attracted to an endless abyss. Such a charismatic youth and only needs his eyes to attract women.

"Dear Young Master, is there anything I can help you?" Qu Mei said while seductively batted her eyelashes.

As a woman and unaware to the art of flirting, Ren Zhilan is unaware that she caught a pure maiden's heart. If she knew it, she would really spat out blood. Being an aloof goddess who always jumps between different realms, she doesn't know anything about courtship between a man and a woman. No wonder the Light God never succeed to his attempts to her.

"I would like to auction some items with me," Ren Zhilan said, still unaware about the flirty glances of Qu Mei.

"Young Master wants to sell some items to us? Please follow me," Qu Mei said and quickly lead Ren Zhilan to inner hall of the auction house.

Ren Zhilan quietly followed Qu Mei until they went to the third floor of the auction house. They stop to the last door of the hall.

"Young Master, can you wait for a moment? I'll just inform my Master," Qu Mei said with sparkling eyes.

Poor Qu Mei, unfortunately Ren Zhilan is a woman and doesn't even know the signs of a maiden being attracted to a man.

"En," Ren Zhilan said without any further questions.

Qu Mei entered the room and inside is the Master of the Silver Cauldron House. Jun Yongrui, the only grandson in the Jun family and the Silver Winged Serpent Clan is the successor of the Silver Cauldron Auction House. Being the only male in the Silver Winged Serpent Clan in the third generation, Jun Yongrui became the only heir to the clan's business without batting an eye.

At the age of sixteen, he is already a rank 5 in Earth Realm and a powerful swordsman. No one can shrug his position in being the top one student of the Misty Cloud Academy. Having a powerful backing and talent, Jun Yongrui became bored in his life.

Having everything doesn't mean it will make you happy.

Jun Yongrui wakes up from his daze when he heard a knock from the door.

"Who is it?" Jun Yongrui said lazily.

"Master, this is Qu Mei," Qu Mei said in a respectable tone.

"Come," Jun Yongrui said as he lazily sits on a chair made of bear skin.

Qu Mei entered the room and quickly saluted to Jun Yongrui. It was strange for Qu Mei to quickly find him after a successful night. There are only two things why Qu Mei seeks him, first are some old foggers who want to curry favor to him and second is a person who wants to sell some items to his clan's auction house.

"Tell me, which of the two type of person is outside?" Jun Yongrui said with a stern expression.

"The second one, Master Jun," Qu Mei said like the question of Jun Yongrui is natural.

"Well then, bring him inside," Jun Yongrui said without interest.

"Yes Master," Qu Mei said and quickly went to pick up the customer.

That kind of conversation between Jun Yongrui and Qu Mei is natural. Because of Jun Yongrui's family and influence, many officials and noble families wanted to curry favor with him. Some even bring their daughters just too instantly win the Young Master of the Silver Winged Serpent Clan. This made Jun Yongrui furious.

He much favors the second one. He may be lazy but he needs to handle the clan's affairs. Jun Yongrui lamented as he is the only male of the third generation. If only he had a brother or a male cousin, maybe he can escape his dire fate of being the only heir of the clan.

Such dream is not easy to obtain.

Jun Yongrui didn't notice Qu Mei and the said customer. He came back to his senses and size up the youth. Both of them are in the same age but when it comes to looks, the latter can't compare to Jun Yongrui. He felt strange as he can't read the aura of the latter which made him curious. It's either the youth in front of him is strong or can't practice dou qi or magic.

"Good evening, esteemed guest! I am Jun Yongrui, the master of the auction house. How can I help you?" Jun Yongrui said in his business-mode.

"I am not here to only sell some items. I wanted a partnership. I'll provide you items and you will pay me. Is that reasonable?" Ren Zhilan said innocently.

"We don't accept partnership," Jun Yongrui flatly rejected Ren Zhilan's offer.

"What if I change your mind?" Ren Zhilan said calmly.

"Prove it," Jun Yongrui said without care.

Ren Zhilan is not mad about Jun Yongrui's refusal. In her mind, maybe there is such a policy like that. Unbeknownst to her, the policy that Jun Yongrui said is nonexistence and he is just lazy to work. Exchanging items can be lent to his subordinates but when it comes to partnership transaction, there is a lot of process. If Ren Zhilan knew it, Jun Yongrui will be nonexistent in just one strike from her.
