"I want a face preserving pill," Shen Qianqian sighed. She was prepared to leave. The reason why she had come was to try her luck and see if she could buy a face preserving pill.

Ye Mo clapped, "Perfect, I happen to have one. I'll give you the pill, and you help me pay that 130 million."

"You-" Shen Qianqian looked at Ye Mo speechlessly. She didn't think there would be such a person. She might look soft on the outside, but she was pretty tough on the inside. Even though Ye Mo was like this, she still didn't want to curse him. She always tried not to offend anyone.

The reason why Elder Shen had placed her as the controller of the Shen family businesses was partly due to her commercial capabilities, but mostly due to her ability to deal with people.

But Ye Mo was being too oppressive.

The people who heard this instantaneously started sneering. Who there wasn't an astute businessman? Who would believe such words! A very serious auction had become comical all of a sudden due to Ye Mo.

Ye Mo took out a bottle with the face preserving pill and gave it to Shen Qianqian. "Take a look. If it's what you're looking for, lend the money to me."

Shen Qianqian took the bottle helplessly, but before she could even open it, six men with guns walked up to Ye Mo.

"Sir, if you're not buying anything, please leave. This is not a place for you to cause trouble," the bulky man in the lead said as he grasped his gun tightly. From his tone, it would seem that if Ye Mo resisted even a little, he would open fire.

Ye Mo sneered, "How much time do I have after winning a bid to close the deal?"

"10 minutes," the girl holding the plate said in Chinese.

"Has it been ten minutes already?" Ye Mo asked coldly.

"No."

Ye Mo slammed the table, "Since it hasn't been ten minutes yet, why are you coming at me with guns? Are you going to rob me? Can't you see I'm gathering funds?"

"Gathering funds? Were you ever even planning on paying the money? You don't have any money on you and you're asking strangers for money, do you think everyone except for you is an idiot?" a yellow-skinned man spoke.

At this moment, Shen Qianqian suddenly said shakily, "I- I will pay for him."

Then, she immediately started performing the transaction.

Everyone looked at this comical scene in shock. That girl actually lent the man the money!

Those men with guns saw that the money had been paid, so they could only leave. Ye Mo never intended on teaching them a lesson.

With the spirit stone in hand, Ye Mo felt very happy. He would ask where it came from later.

"Is this really a face preserving pill?" After everyone left them alone, Shen Qianqian asked Ye Mo shakily.

"Of course, do you think I'm lying to you?" Ye Mo took the spirit stone and commented.

"No, but my grandpa took me to try to buy this pill once, but at first we weren't even sure if the pill was real and we didn't have that much money at the time, so we didn't get it. But I've seen the pill since then, and it does look exactly like this." Shen Qianqian was trying to control her excitement.

Ye Mo nodded and didn't speak any further. He scanned his spirit sense around and didn't find the Five Element Rock.

"Um, I don't have enough money right now, but can you sell me this pill? Don't worry, I'll pay you however much is needed," Shen Qianqian said.

Ye Mo smiled. Shen Qianqian blushed.

"I'm from the Shen family in Jin City, so don't worry, I will definitely-" Ye Mo stopped her mid-sentence.

"You're Shen Qianqian?" Ye Mo immediately asked.

"Yes, I'm Shen Qianqian. Do you know me?" Shen Qianqian had never seen Ye Mo before.

Ye Mo shook his head and said, "I don't know you, but I was eating with Shen Yin a moment ago when I heard that you were at the auction here, so I came."

"What?!" Shen Qianqian looked at Ye Mo as though he were a ghost. He had been eating with Shen Qianqian a moment ago and now he was here? They were at sea!

"Uhm." Ye Mo touched his nose awkwardly. He realized he'd spilled the beans. He had been in Jin City just then, how could he have come to the cruiser so quickly?

Ye Mo shut his mouth and didn't bother trying to explain.

Shen Qianqian also gradually calmed down and didn't ask how Ye Mo got there. Although she didn't know how Ye Mo had come to the cruiser and gotten inside, she knew Ye Mo was no ordinary person.

"How do you know Shen Yin?" Shen Qianqian asked after a while.

Ye Mo breathed a sigh of relief. He'd feared that Shen Qianqian would ask him how he got there.

"This one time, I was on the plane from San Francisco to Hong Kong, and I met Shen Yin there when I helped her mom Qing Kui," Ye Mo said casually.

"What, you're that 'Magical Doctor Ye', Ye Mo?!" Shen Qianqian got up subconsciously but quickly sat down upon remembering her surroundings.

"Yes, I am. Thank you for today - if you hadn't messaged Shen Yin, I wouldn't have known that the auction was here." Ye Mo had a good impression of her. She didn't ask what shouldn't be asked.

Shen Qianqian came to understand why Ye Mo had something like the face preserving pill. If he really could cure patients with charms like Shen Yin said, no wonder he had the pill. She had laughed it off when Shen Yin told her about him, but now that she saw Ye Mo combined with the information he'd accidentally spilled, she confirmed that Ye Mo was indeed no ordinary person. His face was most likely also a disguise, because it didn't fit Shen Yin's description.

The auction went on, but Shen Yin noticed that Ye Mo had closed his eyes. He wasn't interested in anything else.

She didn't disturb Ye Mo and carefully took the face preserving pill. It melted instantaneously as cool streams started flowing across her body.

Ye Mo noticed but didn't care. He had started searching every corner with his spirit sense.

An hour later, Shen Qianqian felt like her face was crawling with ants. She carefully looked at Ye Mo before taking out a mirror and looked at herself.

The large patches of red and black had become mere powder on her face. She wiped it, and it all came off immediately. A pristine face appeared on the surface of her mirror.

Shen Qianqian couldn't help but tear up. For many years, she hadn't dared show her face. Now, her face had finally gone back to what it was before she got injured.

She had been working so hard to earn money for the family just so that she could cure her face, and now, like a dream, she had obtained the face preserving pill.

Shen Qianqian subconsciously looked at Ye Mo and was full of gratitude. She wiped her eyes and said, "Thank you, Doctor Ye."

Ye Mo's eyes remained closed, but he suddenly smiled and waved his hand, "Congratulations on removing the poison and getting your looks back. No need to thank me, you properly paid for it."

"You know my appearance was caused by poison?" Shen Qianqian looked strangely at Ye Mo. Even Elder Shen hadn't figured it out, how did Ye Mo know?"

"Did you forget that I'm 'Magical Doctor Ye'?" Ye Mo said casually, but his mood wasn't casual at all. He searched again and again, but there were no signs of the Five Element Rock.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the auction ends here, and our next stop is Qiu Zhou Island. I hope everyone had a good time." Ye Mo became completely disappointed when the auction ended.

Just when everyone was leaving, Ye Mo's eyes were filled with joy and surprise as he stared at a man with a camera on his chest.
