Chapter 386: 365 Heroes Saving the Beauty Got Preempted_1
"Let’s go have a look!"
Lan Jing’er said and walked over to the servant.
"May I ask, is it true that your auction house has Deep Sea Sinking Silver?" Lan Jing’er inquired.
The servant saw that Lan Jing’er was beautiful and dressed extremely elegantly, and immediately greeted her with a big smile, "Of course, it’s true! Moreover, the Deep Sea Sinking Silver we’re auctioning this time is exceptionally rare in the world, weighing a full twenty tons!"
"Twenty tons, that’s a bit of an exaggeration, isn’t it!" Gu You sneered.
"Humph!" the servant said confidently, "Our Imperial Auction House is backed by several Dukes of the Xingluo Empire and even has certification from the royal household. There’s no deceit, and we guarantee fairness to both young and old! As long as you have money, there is nothing you can’t buy at our Imperial Auction House!"
"Young ... Sister Lan, what should we do?" Gu You asked.
"Go to the auction house, we must get our hands on that twenty tons of Deep Sea Sinking Silver no matter what! If we do, my Demon Emperor No. 7 should be able to be forged successfully!" Lan Jing’er said with immense excitement.
Meanwhile, inside the Imperial Auction House.
"Sir, your Poisonous Weed, soul bone, and soul tool have already been appraised and fully meet the requirements for auction. Furthermore, due to their exceptionally high value, this auction house will schedule your items to be auctioned out of turn!" a portly middle-aged man with black-rimmed glasses told Chu Qin.
"Good!" Chu Qin nodded. Yes, Chu Qin had come to auction his items. In fact, he had deceived Zhu Yundi—he didn’t have tens of millions of golden soul coins. When the Jiuxin Haitang Sect needed funds, Chu Qin could only ask Ning Fengzhi for help.
However, Chu Qin really didn’t want to use his woman’s money; he would rather auction off items. Fortunately, those soul bones were just unused ones from hundred-year or thousand-year-old soul beasts, and he needed the Poisonous Weed even less. As for the soul tools, they were even less desirable, being defective products from his failed refining efforts!
Even so, to others, these items were still worth a fortune!
"Sir, these are the auction passes for you and the two ladies, second row in the front section of the inner field. Please keep them safe!" Before long, the middle-aged man took out three golden cards and handed them to Chu Qin.
"Let’s go, Long Er, Xiu Xiu," said Chu Qin as he took the cards and entered the auction house with Azure Dragon and Bai Xiuxiu.
One could see that the Imperial Auction House was not ordinarily luxurious and impressive. In this prime location near the Xing Luo Imperial Palace, the auction venue actually boasted a hall large enough to accommodate thousands of people!
Furthermore, all the seats were made of genuine leather, the floor was paved with a special kind of jade stone, and the domed ceiling was adorned with a variety of gold and silver ornaments—lavish and magnificent, rivalling both Chu Qin’s Qinglong King’s Mansion and the Xing Luo Imperial Palace!
What was most surprising was that now, in the scorching summer, some ice attribute Soul Masters were actually cooling the hall, creating a very comfortable and cool atmosphere!
"Wow, Chu Qin, it’s so lively here!" Bai Xiuxiu couldn’t help exclaiming as they entered.
"Indeed!" Azure Dragon nodded, adding her comment.
"True, after staying in quiet places for so long, this feels really good!" Chu Qin shared the sentiment, "Let’s go, Xiu Xiu, Azure Dragon, let’s find a place to sit down first!"
Just as they were about to move, Chu Qin and the two ladies heard a rough and authoritative voice from behind them, "Stop right there, without an admission ticket, you’re not allowed inside!"
Chu Qin and Bai Xiuxiu turned around curiously, only to see a man and a woman being stopped by the auction house’s security staff.
"Wow, that person is so beautiful!" Bai Xiuxiu exclaimed.
Chu Qin also brightened up at the sight; the woman was breathtakingly beautiful, her delicate features adorned with just enough makeup to accentuate her natural, stunning beauty. Her looks could rival those of Xiaowu, Qian Renxue, Gu Yuena, and Bi Bidong.
At the same time, the woman’s figure was incredibly voluptuous, especially her chest area, which was so full and perky, it nearly screamed to be touched.
"In Soul Land, to find such a beautiful woman!" Chu Qin marveled inwardly. Chu Qin wasn’t interested in ordinary faces smeared with makeup, and he wouldn’t be moved by slightly pretty passersby, but this woman’s beauty was simply too much, almost guaranteeing her a protagonist’s place if this were an anime!
Chu Qin had a feeling that this person must be no ordinary individual!
Indeed, she herself was not an average person; she was none other than the Young Master of the Holy Spirit Cult, Lan Jing’er, and Gu You.
However, the guard at the auction house didn’t think so and was unaware of the woman’s identity. This obstinate, white-haired old man stopped Lan Jing’er and Gu You firmly without showing any mercy!
"How dare you, a mere servant, obstruct my household’s Young Master..." Gu You was about to berate the old man.
Yet, before Gu You finished speaking, he was interrupted by Lan Jing’er. "Excuse me, we are here to auction Deep Sea Sinking Silver. Could you please let us in?"
Hearing the words "Deep Sea Sinking Silver," Chu Qin’s face grew stern. This woman had the same intention as he did.
But all they saw was the old man sneering, "Ridiculous! Entrance to the auction only requires showing ten thousand golden soul coins. You two don’t even have ten thousand golden soul coins and yet dream of auctioning Deep Sea Sinking Silver. Two milk-nosed children, better go home, lest your parents worry!"
Lan Jing’er’s Dai Mei eyebrows immediately furrowed, and Gu You shouted angrily, "I think you’re asking for a beating!"
"Hmph, no one has ever dared to cause trouble at the auction house. Martial Soul, Assimilate!" As soon as the old man finished speaking, one white, two yellow, three purple, one black—seven soul rings lit up, revealing that he was indeed a Soul Sage!
"Chu Qin, those two are about to get thrashed. Help them out!" Bai Xiuxiu spoke up.
"Xiuxiu, why?" Chu Qin asked with a slight smile.
"Hee hee, I don’t know! I just think this sister is too pretty!" Bai Xiuxiu replied.
Chu Qin smiled faintly. Pitying the fair and cherishing the gentle was always his style.
However, just as Chu Qin was about to approach Lan Jing’er and the others, another crisp voice rang out, "Stop!"
Chu Qin, Lan Jing’er, Gu You, and even the old Soul Sage were all taken aback as they turned toward the voice. They saw two young men, one fat and one thin, with ordinary looks but extravagant attire, slowly stepping forward!
They were described as flamboyant because both men wore thick gold chains around their necks and similarly adorned their arms. They also wore shiny gemstone rings and even had pure gold earrings in their ears!
"Eh, who are these two?" onlookers expressed surprise at the men’s outfits.
"You don’t know these two? In the Star Luo Imperial Capital, they are well-known stubborn scions. The fat one is Wei Dabao, the son of the Duke of the Empire, Wei Qin Tian, and the skinny one is Long Xiaotian, the young master of one of the Empire’s top ten families, the Long Family!"
"So they have quite the background!"
"Master Wei, Young Master Long!" Upon seeing the two men, the Soul Sage old man showed an unexpectedly respectful attitude!
"Shendao, you’re a Soul Sage. Why would you pick a fight with two young people?" Wei Dabao said to the Soul Sage with a sneer.
"Master Wei, we are just following orders!" Shendao the Soul Sage said with a twitch of his mouth, "These two don’t have entrance tickets; they simply cannot be allowed in. Otherwise, the Duke will scold me!"
"What’s there to be scared of!" Wei Dabao replied, "Don’t worry, with me here, my father won’t scold you. Let them through!"
"Yes!" the Shendao Soul Sage respectfully responded.
"Eh, these two troublesome scions are actually standing up for someone?"
"Hahaha, standing up for someone? They probably have their eyes on that girl! To be honest, that girl is really pretty!"
Sure enough, Wei Dabao’s gaze turned toward Lan Jing’er, and he leered, "Such a pretty girl, Shendao, how could you have the heart to stop her?"
"Thank you, Master Wei, for your rescue!" Lan Jing’er, smiling at Wei Dabao, said graciously.
