In the moment when Ye Qiu's mask fell, his appearance was also captured by Ning Rongrong, surprising her.
'This guy doesn't look bad.'
"Brother! Are you okay?" Xiao Lan dropped what she was holding and nervously hugged Ye Qiu's head, trying to make him look up.
"I'm fine." Ye Qiu rubbed his eyes, looked up, and his azure eyes were bloodshot.
"Uncle Jian, let it go." Ning Fengzhi blocked in front of Ye Qiu, signaling Sword Douluo to stop.
"What Rong Rong said just now was indeed a bit too much!"
"Fengzhi, I'm neither blind nor deaf. Wasn't Rong Rong scared just now? This is just a lesson for him!"
Sword Douluo treasures Ning Rongrong and is unwilling to let her suffer any grievances.
However, he can distinguish right from wrong.
He doesn't want to make a big deal out of it.
He turned to Ning Rongrong.
"Rong Rong, are you okay? Rong Rong?"
"Ah?" Ning Rongrong heard the call, came back to her senses, and her face turned a little red.
"I'm fine, I just saw some scary scenes!" she said, patting the front of her poverty-stricken clothes.
"You are all bad people! Want to sell Xiao Lan and bully brother! I hate you all!" Xiao Lan hung on Ye Qiu like a koala, both legs wrapped around his waist, as if trying to protect him in her embrace.
"..." Hearing her words, Ye Qiu fell silent for a moment. She's really just a child. He gently patted her and untied her entanglement. "Don't worry, everything's fine!"
Then, he explained to Sword Douluo and Ning Fengzhi.
"Seniors, rest assured, I just used a small illusion, it won't cause any harm to the distinguished lady."
"Hmph! If not for that, you would be a corpse by now!" Sword Douluo snorted coldly, standing with his hands behind his back.
"Thank you, seniors, for sparing me!" Ye Qiu didn't expect this.
The talkative girl turned out to be Little Witch Ning Rongrong.
Her ability to talk was quite impressive.
With the situation settled, everyone returned to their previous state, and the auction of the cat twins also came to an end.
Clang! The small hammer fell, and the host's voice echoed throughout the venue.
"Congratulations to Count Thaddeus for acquiring the cat sisters at the price of 880,000 gold soul coins!"
' Thaddeus? Quite a coincidence.' Ye Qiu looked across, where a big-bellied middle-aged man was sitting, his face full of flesh.
Looking at him, Ye Qiu's eyes became a bit moist again, unintentionally blinking.
"Brother! Let Xiao Lan heal you a bit!" Blowing warm wind gently toward Ye Qiu's eyes, Xiao Lan spoke tenderly.
"Yeah!" Ye Qiu nodded. At this time, he couldn't use soul bone skills to avoid complications.
Xiao Lan gently covered his eyes with her hands, and a yellow soul ring flashed from her.
First soul skill, Eternal Vitality!
A faint green light appeared in her hands, and a strong vitality gently entered Ye Qiu's eyes. After a short time, Ye Qiu felt as good as new.
On the side, Ning Fengzhi and his daughter looked over.
Just now, through the soul power fluctuations on Ye Qiu, Ning Fengzhi had estimated his cultivation. He thought he was already a genius, but he didn't expect this little girl to be even more outstanding!
Most likely, she has reached the innate full soul power!
As for Ning Rongrong, she occasionally looked at Ye Qiu's profile. When she saw the soul ring on Xiao Lan, she was also a little surprised. She had only recently obtained her second ring.
'I wonder which family these two are from? If they're commoners...' Ning Fengzhi had already harbored thoughts of recruiting them. For the current Seven Treasure Glazed Glass Sect, replenishing with fresh talents was necessary.
"The next auction item! It's a soul bone!"
The host's voice brought Ning Fengzhi's thoughts back to the auction.
Behind the host, a servant girl in revealing attire placed a brocade box on the table.
"Everyone! This soul bone is a rare head soul bone from a 4,000-year-old feline Skywing Tiger."
Saying this, he opened the brocade box, and his face turned green in an instant. A burst of green light reflected, attracting the attention of every soul master present.
"After the joint identification by appraisers, it's named the Spirit Divergence and Intimidation Skull. It possesses the ability to attack and disturb the enemy's spirit!"
"Enough said, everyone is well aware of the rarity of soul bones, especially head bones. The starting bid is one million gold soul coins, and each bid must not be less than one hundred thousand gold soul coins!"
Clang! "Bidding! It starts now!"
"One million five hundred thousand gold soul coins!"
At the very beginning, someone directly added five hundred thousand gold soul coins, and while the price was terrifying, the preciousness of soul bones still attracted people.
The price continued to rise, soon breaking the two million mark.
In the VIP seats, Xiao Lan's eyes sparkled with stars, already calculating, "Brother, how much food can we buy for two million?"
"Hehe, you little glutton. After the auction is over, I'll buy you anything you want to eat!" Ye Qiu pinched her nose and shook her head.
Feeling a bit hurt, she glared at Ye Qiu. "Brother, you hurt me. I won't help you heal next time!"
"So, the soul bone was consigned by our little brother here. Truly outstanding!" Ning Fengzhi overheard the conversation between the two.
"It's not that outstanding, just a stroke of luck!" Ye Qiu replied with a modest smile.
When his gaze passed over Ning Rongrong, he noticed her looking a bit panicked, eyes avoiding contact. However, Ye Qiu didn't pay much attention to it.
"Your luck is indeed remarkable!" Ning Fengzhi sighed, understanding that Ye Qiu wasn't inclined to talk much.
His hand had already fallen on the button beside him.
"Five million!" The host's voice rang out loudly.
"Someone from the red VIP area bid five million gold soul coins!"
"Any higher bids?" He asked with just a sentence, quietly waiting. In fact, five million was already quite a premium.
Seeing that it was Ning Fengzhi who made the move, and the price had already exceeded by a considerable margin, people around didn't see the need to bid further. If they couldn't win, there was no point offending the Seven Treasure Glazed Glass Sect.
"Five million for the first time! Five million for the second time! Five million for the third time!"
Clang! The small hammer struck, "Sold! Congratulations to the red VIP for obtaining this head soul bone!"
It was only when he heard the hammer that Ye Qiu reacted.
"Senior, aren't you being a bit extravagant?"
"Hehe. Soul bones are rare and hard to come by. Of course, I have to seize the opportunity!" Although Ning Fengzhi wouldn't let his daughter absorb it, the Seven Treasure Glazed Glass Pagoda Sect was a big family, and he could always find a use for it.
"I wonder which family you two siblings come from? Perhaps our elders have some connections."
"We're just commoners." Ye Qiu was straightforward about his origins, understanding his intentions.
"I see." Ning Fengzhi wanted to say something more but was interrupted by Xiao Lan's voice.
"Brother! I want that!"
"Huh?"
Following her finger, Ye Qiu looked to where she was pointing. It was the next auction item after the soul bone.
In front of the host's table was a tray with a small brocade box containing a black item.
"What's that?" Ye Qiu looked at her in confusion.
"Xiao Lan doesn't know, but I just want it~" Tapping her lips with her index finger, tilting her small head, it was her intuition speaking.
"Alright, brother will buy it for you."
Ye Qiu readily agreed. Xiao Lan's intuition was never baseless; perhaps it was some kind of opportunity.
After all, now money was not an issue!
