Above all spirits

Chapter 162 Interlude (Part 1)

The women who were there during the intermission of the auction were there to cater to different tastes, so they were not all human.

Everyone understands.

Although elves are very rare in the other seven realms besides the fairy realm.

But that doesn't mean they won't appear in the human world.

It's quite normal for a few corrupted elves to exist.

Just as everyone was confused by Xiao Li's irrelevant answer that identified one of the women as an elf,

His slightly cold voice was like a bucket of cold water being poured down.

"Buy her."

Puzzled?

Confused my ass!

Gu Yun was interested in hearing gossip.

My body won't allow it.

Shang Wenqing decisively pressed the number 200 on the bidding device.

Quietly wait for the elf to take the stage.

Ji Ning was somewhat surprised but dared not say anything more.

Judging from the current situation...

The highest bid ever recorded was 60 Star Coins.

Asking for 100 Star Coins is more than enough.

In fact, Shang Wenqing originally thought the same thing.

But he's the best at reading people's expressions.

The thought of potentially involving Gu Yun, and the fact that Gu Yun's expression seemed a bit off, prompted him to double the amount without hesitation.

This elf must be captured.

What is a pattern?

This is the layout!

...

Box No. 30.

"Master, Mistress, that woman is also an elf like me. May I ask you to help me bid for her?"

"Xiangling will definitely repay these expenses to you two in the future."

Inside the private room, a beautiful woman dressed in blue pleaded with a man and a woman sitting in the center.

The man had sharp eyebrows, a resolute face, and exuded a heroic air.

The woman had skin as white as snow, a graceful figure, and a captivating charm.

Although neither of them are young, they show no signs of aging.

The man said seriously.

“Ling’er, I know you have a kind heart, but have you ever thought about what you’ll do after you’ve bought this person’s picture?”

“We have never inquired about your past. I have always known that you must have some secrets of our clan.”

"You came to the Heavenly Silkworm Sect when you were young and suffered hardship. The fact that you were able to join the Heavenly Silkworm Sect as a member of a different race is due to two reasons. First, your outstanding talent and character must have earned the recognition of all the elders. Second, you grew up in the Heavenly Silkworm Sect and have a deep bond with it."

“Especially my husband and I, although we are your master and mistress, we have no children and have long treated you as our own daughter.”

"That's why no one spoke."

“But if your purpose in bidding for this woman of the same clan is solely to grant her freedom, your master’s wife and I will certainly do our utmost to help, even if it costs us our own money.”

"But if you want to keep it by your side, you should understand the consequences: how will your sect view it, what will the elders think?"

Xiangling bowed deeply to the two of them.

"Ling'er will never let down the sect, nor will she let her master and mistress feel disheartened. From now on, at the Star Realm Assembly, Ling'er will definitely bring glory to the Heavenly Silkworm Sect!"

"I just felt compassion when I saw my fellow clansmen in such a predicament, and it reminded me of my younger self."

"I am very lucky to have met my master and mistress."

"But she wasn't so lucky."

"By purchasing this person, Ling'er only wants to restore her freedom and give her some funds."

"So that she can live a peaceful and ordinary life, even if she stays on this Crimson Flame Star."

The woman nodded and tugged at the man's clothes.

The man smiled helplessly.

"Alright, alright, you're being too polite. 100 star coins should be enough."

"Just to be on the safe side, 150 Star Coins will do."

"After all, public funds can't be used. This is your master's private stash of money, so you'll have to return it to me later!"

The woman rolled her eyes at the man.

"Get lost! Don't even try, when did I start managing your money!"

"Don't listen to your master's nonsense, you don't need to pay him back!"

"Hahaha."

Xiangling chimed in with a smile.

“No, Ling’er will definitely return it to Master.”

...

As time went on, the elven woman finally walked shakily onto the stage.

The maid outfit she was wearing didn't quite suit her figure, and it didn't seem like she had chosen it herself.

It's more like someone forced her into it.

Her dark golden hair wasn't tied up like the other women's.

She wanted to show off her beauty and display all her strengths to the public.

Maximize your value as much as possible.

It was simply draped over her shoulders, even covering both sides of her face.

Throughout the journey, the woman kept her head down and dared not say a word until the very end when facing the guests.

It seemed that in her world, everything before her was a terrifying monster with gaping maws and scarlet eyes.

This action undoubtedly displeased the audience.

"What's the point of keeping your head down?"

"Lift your head up!"

"Do you still want to be photographed? Do you not want to fall down here?"

"Disappointing, he seems like he's just there to make up the numbers."

"Don't you have any self-awareness?"

"Oh well, never mind, next one, next one."

"That's it, probably another one nobody wants."

"I feel that the second one might surpass the highest auction price in history."

"Indeed, the woman in the back is one in a million in terms of looks and figure!"

"Unfortunately, I can't afford to enjoy this, it's too expensive, 60 star coins."

"I'd be grateful if I could exchange all my possessions for 10 star coins!"

...

Amidst the clamor of discussion, the elven woman seemed to have thought of something terrible. She bit her lip and stiffly lifted her face little by little.

She put on a pitiful and helpless expression.

His eyes were filled with helplessness and panic.

Although her dark gold hair on both sides still partially obscured her face.

But this is only a small part of what's been revealed.

That silenced the several people who had been nagging and criticizing him.

"Holy crap! So that's the route they took!"

"Holy crap! Dude, I'm interested too!"

"Forget it, let's just join in the fun. I think this will probably go up to seventy or eighty star coins."

"I feel there's more to it than that, it'll be revealed soon, don't block my view!"

...

The green light on the auction stage lit up without any suspense, and the highest price displayed made everyone gasp.

The mechanical announcement sent a chill down everyone's spine.

This includes the three individuals, master and apprentice, in box number 30.

"Congratulations to the VIP in Box xx (Hidden) for successfully bidding on this item for 200 Star Coins."

As a result, some women following the elven woman in line began to imitate her messy makeup and started playing the victim.

They hoped that they could achieve the same effect.

Unfortunately.

It will ultimately come to nothing.

"Fuck! Fuck!"

"Am I seeing things? 200 star coins, that's more than three times the previous highest price?!"

"No way, who's that rich? I could go to brothels every day and have fun until I die and still not spend all 200 star coins!"

"Gorgeous! Really generous!"

It wasn't just the people in the audience.

Even the dignitaries in several private rooms were curious about what was so special about this woman.

What made her price rise to 200 Star Coins?

200 Star Coins may not seem like much, but they're not a small amount either.

Everything is judged by its value.

An ordinary woman who isn't even a powerful being.

It's really not worth the price.
