Auction House.
"Seven thousand gold coins!"
"Seven thousand one hundred gold coins."
"Seven thousand two hundred gold coins!"
At this moment.
Tang Mengze and Su Fugui were still bidding against each other.
The current price had already deterred most people.
After all, it was just a little demon girl from the demon race. No matter how valuable she was, she couldn't possibly be worth thousands of gold coins!
The other ninety-eight rooms on the second floor of the auction house shared the same sentiment.
Although they were all from prominent families, they weren't fools.
Only someone like Su Fugui, who had obtained his wealth effortlessly, could afford to spend so recklessly.
Meanwhile, on the first floor.
Tang Mengze was growing increasingly anxious.
What should he do? It seemed like he had gone overboard.
If it were just one or two thousand gold coins, even if Su Fugui backed out, Tang Mengze wouldn't face any serious consequences for not buying.
But now, it had reached seven thousand?!
"Seven thousand five hundred gold coins."
As Su Fugui announced this number.
Tang Mengze silently lowered his raised hand.
At the same time, Tang Mengze cursed at Room Ninety-Nine.
"Forget it! Room Ninety-Nine, you're a disgusting beast! Spending so much money on a petite little demon girl, how despicable!"
"Wrong, wrong, wrong. I'm just doing this to annoy you."
Su Fugui grinned inside his room.
His tone showed no hint of regret.
This left everyone in the auction house stunned.
To spend over seven thousand gold coins without a second thought—what terrifying wealth!
Of course, Su Fugui didn't care about the money.
He only needed to enjoy himself for eight days, and the money would return.
This was the confidence the system gave him!
Just as Su Fugui was feeling pleased.
A guard suddenly entered and handed a letter to the auctioneer.
Su Fugui's face immediately darkened.
"Damn it! Let's go, we're not staying here anymore! Someone's targeting me!"
Su Fugui angrily kicked over a stool and left the room, dragging his beautiful twin maids with him.
Downstairs.
"Uh, Room Ninety-Nine, apologies, but we'll have to keep this item for now."
The auctioneer spoke somewhat awkwardly.
This time, however, no curses came from Room Ninety-Nine.
The auctioneer couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"With that, this auction has come to an end. Please exit in an orderly manner. Those who have purchased items, please proceed to the back to collect your goods."
The auctioneer clapped his hands, concluding the event.
……
……
At the back of the auction house.
Numerous auction items were being exchanged.
Buyers gathered here, handing over money and receiving their goods.
If anyone tried to skip out on payment, the auction house would send people to collect the damages—thirty percent of the auction price.
Generally, members of prominent families didn't default on payments.
And those who weren't from such families couldn't afford to fight against the auction house's enforcers.
Thus, historically, very few people had ever defaulted.
Except for the Tang family. Members of the Tang family had defaulted over a dozen times, collectively owing the auction house tens of thousands of gold coins.
It was quite the headache.
Logically speaking, the Tang family, which didn't have a single Second Realm cultivator, could be wiped out with a snap of the fingers.
But there was a reason why the Tang family couldn't be destroyed.
Ah… the Tang family.
Soon.
Most of the items had been claimed.
Only the items reserved by Ye Wangchuan remained.
It wasn't until evening that Ye Wangchuan finally arrived.
The reason for his late arrival was that he didn't want others to know he had purchased these items.
Otherwise, rumors might spread.
Like how Ye Wangchuan's master was a loli, how he spent all his time with the Li family's loli, how his weapon could transform into a loli, and how he had bought a cat-eared loli…
Ye Wangchuan didn't want to be misunderstood as a lolicon.
Arriving at the back of the auction house.
The auction house's attendant quickly greeted him.
"Young Master Ye Wangchuan. Perfect timing, your items are all here. Should we deliver them to your sect or the Ye family?"
"No need for the trouble. I'll store them in my spatial ring."
Ye Wangchuan walked over and used his spatial ring to store the items he had reserved: the Primordial Flower, the jade bracelet, and a few other things.
As for the cat-eared loli demon girl, being a living creature, she couldn't be stored in the spatial ring.
But such a small thing could simply be carried.
At that moment, an attendant approached with a seal.
"Young Master Ye Wangchuan, this is the Contract Seal. Simply drip your blood into the seal and press it onto the demon girl, and you'll be able to command her at will."
"Got it."
Ye Wangchuan took the seal and, without hesitation, bit his finger to drip blood onto it.
He wasn't like those so-called "chosen ones" who refused to use such seals in pursuit of genuine feelings or friendships.
What if he got betrayed later?
Once the seal was stained with blood, Ye Wangchuan approached the cage and examined the cat-eared loli through the bars.
Should he press it on her face or hand?
No, that would look unsightly.
On her back?
For some reason, Ye Wangchuan thought of those middle school girls on Earth who got tattoos on their backs.
On her buttocks or upper thighs?
That would just look like some fetish stamp.
After some thought.
Ye Wangchuan decided on her lower abdomen.
It looked more respectable!
With that, Ye Wangchuan suddenly reached out.
Through the cage, he roughly pulled the cat-eared loli closer, slightly lifted her clothes, and pressed the seal just below her navel.
Precise!
Swift!
Perfect!
The entire process took less than three seconds, leaving a perfectly placed Contract Seal on the demon girl's lower abdomen.
The onlookers hadn't even processed what happened before it was done.
Creak~
Ye Wangchuan opened the cage door and looked at the bewildered cat-eared loli lying on the ground.
"Do you have a name?"
"Yes, I'm Jiang You…"
The cat-eared loli, Jiang You, replied timidly.
"Alright."
Ye Wangchuan nodded, committing the name Jiang You to memory.
At the same time, he felt a slight disappointment.
She already had a name, and it was quite normal too.
Ye Wangchuan had already planned to name her "Hakimi" if she didn't have one.
After confirming that all his auction items were accounted for, Ye Wangchuan looked up at the auction house staff.
"How much in total? Name your price."
"Uh, Young Master Ye, fifteen thousand gold coins will suffice."
The staff member spoke cautiously.
Fifteen thousand gold coins was exactly the sum of the highest bids for all of Ye Wangchuan's items.
The staff didn't dare ask for more, fearing it might be seen as a challenge to the Ye family.
Nor did they dare ask for less, fearing it might be seen as disrespect.
Thus, they settled on the total of the highest bids.
Ye Wangchuan responded,
"Are you sure that's all? Your auction house has also lost some reputation and credibility. Shouldn't that be factored in?"
"No, no. This amount is more than enough."
The staff quickly assured him.
m back to his original world. In the end, he realized he had overthought things. [Hey, why is Shen Manni, the female lead, acting strange? Shouldn't she be fawning over the male lead at this point?] [Zhou Qiaoqiao, are you sick? Weren't you supposed to break off your engagement today?] [Damn it! An Youyi, please do your job as an undercover agent and sell my information to the protagonist, you idiot!] ... At this moment, Xu Mo himself didn't know that these female leads had already heard his inner thoughts. Then they decided not to play by the rules. Xu Mo: Please respect my profession as the big villain!
iving with nine beautiful women. [Ding! Welcome back to the Joyous Sect, Host…] Lin Yu: ??? I’m clearly in a shared rental, but you’re saying I’m in the Joyous Sect? Watering plants is now [Tending to Spiritual Flora]? Cooking becomes [Researching Elixirs]? Making the bed turns into [Setting Up Formations]? A gentle and innocent auntie, twin classmates, a mysterious hacker girl on leave, a severely socially anxious artist, an elementary school Chinese teacher, a community hospital nurse, a pet shop owner, an antique clock restorer… This system… is kinda interesting.
fe full of thrilling battles, ultimately sacrificing himself to protect his homeland and its people. Unexpectedly, he was reborn into his youth, where he encountered the campus ice queen, Ye Miyue, now working as a masseuse at his family's martial arts school. "How long have you been doing this?" "I-it's my first time..." the campus belle murmured, her head bowed. Wang Xian remembered clearly that back then, although Ye Miyue had not yet awakened her martial arts talent, her outstanding academic performance, breathtaking beauty, and icy demeanor had made her the moon goddess of every boy in school. He was no exception. In his previous life, they had no connection, never imagining they would meet under such circumstances. Sadly, today the city was attacked by an S-class beast, the 'Wind King Falcon,' destroying nearly half of the city streets. Ye Miyue had died on her way home during this disaster. Now, given a second chance, facing the campus goddess of his youth, Wang Xian resolutely decided to extend her session! And so. "My hands are tired..." the blushing campus belle whispered, relieved. Wang Xian pointed to her slender calves and said, "Who said only hands can massage? There are feet too!" "Extend the session, continue!"
't think I'm that capable, I'm just trying my best to stay alive. I've been kind all my life, never did anything bad, yet worldly suffering spared me not one bit. The human world is a nice place, but I won't come back in my next life. A kind young man, who wanted to just get by singing, but through repeated deceits and betrayals, has gone down an irredeemable path.
