Miss Loser is too enchanting

"Do you know how you ended up here?" Dugu Qianye continued to ask.

"Baby was in the egg, sleeping in the sea. I don’t know how I got here," Beast said.

Someone must have caught it from the sea, but since they didn’t recognize the egg, they simply threw it away. However, it seems like there are no seas on the Spirit Void Continent.

Dandan glared with a dark expression at Beast, which looked like it wanted to steal his place, frightening Beast into extinguishing any thoughts it had of doing so.

"None of us recognize it, but since it likes our little junior sister, you should keep it. Maybe it will come in handy one day," Fen Qingran said.

Dugu Qianye nodded and said, "Then you shall be called Lan Yue, Yue Baby."

"Okay, okay, I am Yue Baby," Lan Yue said, patting its webbed hands.

Having settled the matter with Lan Yue, Dugu Qianye realized that the auction was almost over. The items offered toward the end were clearly of a higher grade than those earlier, but none caught Dugu Qianye’s eye. As midnight approached, the first day of the auction came to an end.

Dugu Qianye and her two companions left through a private passage, and she stored Lan Yue in the Refining Demon Pot for the other Beasts to look after. They had expected some fuss when Lan Yue was separated from Dugu Qianye, but to their surprise, Lan Yue became excited as soon as it entered the Refining Demon Pot and clicked instantly with Xiaohuo and the others.

Dandan acted like a child throwing a tantrum, clinging to Dugu Qianye’s arms and refusing to come down.

Back at the Tengge Hotel, Dugu Qianye informed Hao Pengyou that they would not be attending the auction the next day because none of the items interested her. Hao Pengyou was only accompanying Dugu Qianye, so if she wasn’t going, he naturally chose to sleep in at the hotel. With Fen Qingran alone, it was uninteresting, so on the second day of the auction, no lights shone in the Spiritual Master Association’s private room.

Although Dugu Qianye and her companions did not attend on the second day, there were still more people present compared to the first day. The items up for auction were of higher grade, attracting some mid-level powers to join the bidding. The atmosphere was even more vibrant than the day before. Still, the real large clans were quiet—they were all waiting for the final day’s showstopper items.

On the third day of the auction, Dugu Qianye and her two companions arrived late, entering their box through the private passage just as the hallway downstairs was filling up. All the upstairs boxes were lit, and the large families from various counties, along with the Alchemist Guild, Refiners Guild, and Beast Trainer Guild, had all arrived.

As soon as the time arrived, Qu Yaoyao took to the auction stage, starting once again with a courtesy bow.

"Today is the last day of the auction, and everyone knows that tonight many rare treasures will be up for auction, including our final showstopper items and our mystery auction items. Want to know what the mystery auction item is? Then let us begin tonight’s auction. Those who haven’t made a move in the past two days should seize the opportunity. Now, we will start with our first auction item."

The first auction item was brought up and placed on the crystal table, where a maid lifted the red cloth covering it.

"This is a Low-grade Divine Artifact, the Furious God Saber, famously wielded by the Crazy God Wu Jing a thousand years ago. After the fall of the Crazy God, this saber disappeared without a trace. Today, it reappears in the world! I won’t elaborate on its functions and fearsome power. The auction starts now, with a starting bid of 100 thousand Purple Coins," Qu Yaoyao said with her persuasive eloquence, immediately enlivening the atmosphere.

"150 thousand Purple Coins."

"160 thousand Purple Coins."

"180 thousand..."

The bid callers were from the private rooms above the second floor. Although the main hall was crowded, the people there were mainly there to join in the excitement and see the novelties; they did not have the financial power to compete with these large families. The majority were there to broaden their horizons. A portion, of course, was there to identify targets—those with power but no money.

"500 thousand Purple Coins," called a room on the same floor as the Spiritual Master Association.

"That’s the Refiners Guild," Hao Pengyou informed Dugu Qianye. Dugu Qianye understood; when it came to Spiritual Artifacts, the Refiners Guild would certainly be interested.

"500 thousand Purple Coins once, 500 thousand Purple Coins twice, 500 thousand Purple Coins three times. Alright, this Divine Artifact, the Furious God Saber, now belongs to the Refiners Guild!" Qu Yaoyao announced, hammering the gavel.

The second auction item was swiftly brought up to the stage.

"This is a ten-thousand-year-old Blood Ganoderma. It can be used in alchemy or be consumed directly. Its effect is to prolong life and is a huge blessing for those on the brink of life limits; perhaps just a few more years would allow them to break through. Furthermore, the effects it has in alchemy are also excellent. Besides the functions mentioned earlier, it can also beautify and nourish the complexion! No need to elaborate on the benefits, let’s start the auction with a starting bid of 100,000 Purple Coins."

As Qu Yaoyao finished speaking, the bidding began immediately from the floor below.

"150,000..."

"200,000..."

"220,000..."

For the souls of the Spirit Realm, though they are born at the Phantom Venerable level, advancing in rank is significantly more challenging. Many people, if they have not broken through to new heights by the age of a thousand, will die just like ordinary people. Therefore, as soon as the Blood Ganoderma appeared, it instantly ignited an explosive scene.

"500,000..." A woman’s voice rang out from a room downstairs—it was from the young lady of the Tian Family.

Tian Rumeng watched the auction stage nervously from the private room, her gaze fixed on the blood-red Ganoderma. The main goal for her and her brother’s visit was to secure it for their family’s elder. The Tian Family ancestor was already over eight hundred years old, but was still a bit away from reaching the Divine Venerable level. To extend their ancestor’s life, they were determined to obtain the Blood Ganoderma.

"510,000..." Another grand family placed a bid. Moreover, this person seemed to be at odds with the Tian Family’s young lady, always outbidding her by that extra ten thousand.

"600,000..."

"610,000..."

"700,000..."

"710,000..."

"Fen Qingrou, you’re doing this on purpose!" The Tian Family’s young lady finally discerned the other’s intent and rushed out of the room, yelling towards her adversary.

In the private room opposite the Tian Family’s, despite being separated by a large hall, Fen Qingrou could still see the fuming Tian Rumeng clearly. The Miss of the Fen Family chuckled and said, "Miss Tian, this is an auction. I have the right to bid, don’t I? How can this be considered intentional? Surely I can’t bid lower than you?"

"Haha!" The people in the hall erupted into laughter at Fen Qingrou’s words, infuriating Tian Rumeng, whose face alternated between shades of red and white.

"We’ll just wait and see."

Tian Rumeng returned to her room and pressed the bidding button, shouting, "800,000!"

"810,000!" said Fen Qingrou.

"900,000!" Tian Rumeng raised the bid.

"910,000!"

"1,000,000!" Tian Rumeng called out again. She had brought just over 1,000,000 Purple Coins for this trip, and after purchasing some items yesterday, all she had left was 1,000,000. If Fen Qingrou bid again, she wouldn’t be able to win the auction!
