The two robust men carefully placed the bird cage containing the beast-transformed slave girl next to Qian Yu and his group…
One of the burly men respectfully began to speak to Qian Yu, "Esteemed customer, this is the item you have won at the auction. You may wish to inspect it…"
Given that these four young people could occupy these seats, it was likely that not just any one of them was someone these two could afford to offend, hence their words were also extremely tactful…
Qian Yu glanced at the burly man and replied indifferently, "Hmm, I know, you may leave now."
Upon hearing Qian Yu's words, a question mark emerged in the minds of the two burly men…
They awkwardly laughed, "???? Leave… leave? Guest, is this your first time at our auction house?"
Qian Yu raised an eyebrow and retorted, "So what? Is your auction house not welcoming?"
The burly man hurriedly waved his hands to explain, "No, no, no, it's not like that… we…"
He was also in a difficult position to speak outright; if he upset this customer, he would be finished.
Tang Wutong and Jiang Nannan's beautiful eyes also showed confusion; once the auctioned item was delivered, wasn't it normal for them to ask them to leave?
At that moment of uncertainty, Xu Sanshi, who knew the rules of the auction house well, coughed and said, "Ahem... Qian Yu, in this auction house, when you have won an item, you are required to pay a third of the deposit first to ensure your ability to pay!"
If even a third of the deposit couldn't be produced, the customer who had won the bid would be thrown out of the auction house and added to the blacklist!
And, that item would continue to be auctioned in the next few rounds!
The two burly men sent Xu Sanshi a grateful look…
Lucky for them someone understood, otherwise things could have gotten awkward…
Qian Yu was taken aback, then thoughtfully said, "I see, but I don't have that many golden soul coins."
Upon hearing this, the two burly men looked at each other, but still ingratiatingly asked Qian Yu, "Then, may I ask how do you intend to make the payment?"
From Qian Yu's mouth came three words, "Soul guidance devices."
The eyes of the two burly men showed surprise as they could hardly believe what they heard, "Soul guidance devices?"
This was the first time they had seen someone use soul tools for payment. Within the Xingluo Empire, due to the pitiful scarcity of Soul Masters, the preciousness of soul tools was far beyond what other countries could compare!
Even a fifth-grade soul tool could fetch a sky-high price of tens of thousands of golden soul coins!
Of course, such high prices could only be achieved during auctions; in normal transactions, they traded a fifth-grade soul tool for fifty thousand golden soul coins!
With each increase in grade, the value of a soul tool increased geometrically!
Subsequently, the burly man once again respectfully spoke to Qian Yu, "Customer, if you choose to make payment with soul guidance devices, you only need to provide two fifth-grade soul tools!"
Qian Yu opened his storage soul tool and said somewhat speechlessly, "Fifth-grade soul tools? I really don't have soul tools of such low level."
In his storage soul tool, almost all were level seven soul tools and above!
These words made the corners of the two burly men's mouths twitch, "Hiss… Are those the words of a human? 'Don't have such low-level soul tools'? But those are fifth-grade soul tools!"
"Lucky we didn't have a fallout just now; someone who could talk about fifth-grade soul tools as if they are of low-level, just thinking about it is enough to make your scalp tingle,"
Jiang Nannan couldn't help but let out a light chuckle, "Pfft, I remember Qian Yu seems to use ninth-grade soul tools, right? So, to him, fifth-grade really is low-level!"
Tang Wutong's beautiful eyes turned to her wrist where a soul tool rested, the very one Qian Yu had once given her…
And… it really does seem like they are all above seventh grade…
After a moment, Qian Yu took out a level six soul tool and tossed it to them as if he were throwing out trash…
He calmly watched them and said, "Is one level six soul tool enough?"
The burly man who caught the Sixth-grade Soul Guidance Device beamed as if he had gotten a priceless treasure, his face splitting into a smile as bright as a blooming chrysanthemum, "That's enough, that's enough. You folks are busy. We won't disturb you any longer!"
A Sixth-grade Soul Guidance Device, that's the equivalent of the value of three Level 5 Soul Guidance Devices!
Therefore, the two muscle-bound men didn't linger at all and swiftly left...
It was only then that the gaze of Qian Yu's group fell upon the quivering cage in front of them...
Qian Yu reached out and pulled off the black cloth, revealing the beast-eared slave girl that made men's hearts race...
Those tender legs as smooth as white jade, along with the scant, tattered clothing barely covering her smooth skin, made it hard to divert one's eyes...
Especially those helpless, amber-colored beautiful eyes, which undoubtedly added an extra touch of charm...
Xu Sanshi stared so hard his eyes nearly popped. He swallowed a few times...
Jiang Nannan's eyes turned cold, and she pinched his thigh...
Xu Sanshi inhaled sharply and pretended to be in pain, "Nannan, stop pinching me, stop pinching me! I, Xu Sanshi, will always love only you. In my eyes, these beauties are nothing but skeletons behind their beauty!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Nannan's expression softened a lot, although she still said irritably, "Smooth-talker!"
Tang Wutong gently reached out and removed the cloth from the woman's mouth...
Her eyes showed a hint of fear, her delicate body trembling as she said, "Who...who are you?"
Jiang Nannan explained gently with a chuckle, "Don't be afraid, we won't hurt you!"
Tang Wutong also nodded and agreed, "Mhm!"
Seeing the gentle demeanor of the two, the woman momentarily fell into a stupor...
Then, her eyes, previously filled with despair, began to show signs of life once more...
Therefore, looking at the four from Qian Yu, she hesitantly spoke, "Thank... thank you."
Tang Wutong replied, "Then please bear it for a bit longer. We are inside the auction house. We'll let you out after it's over."
Her current alluring appearance was too eye-catching, always drawing the attention of other bidders to this spot, which was bound to make people uncomfortable!
The woman nodded her head in gratitude again, "Mhm!"
She had been imprisoned for such a long time; what was a little more waiting to her?
Moreover, she didn't feel any malice from these four people at all!
Next, Tang Wutong covered the cage with the black cloth again, hiding the woman's body from view...
As everyone was doing these things, the third auction on the stage had already begun...
The auctioneer on the stage revealed a mysterious smile, "Next up is our third auction item. Everyone, could you try to guess what it is?"
Having said that, the auctioneer clapped his hands, and a shapely beauty below the stage came up, carrying a small square box about the width of an arm, and walked towards the showcase area...
She placed the small square box on the display stand. Under the illumination of the lights, it looked extremely mysterious...
"Is that a soul tool? But it doesn't quite feel like one to me!"
"I think it's a soul tool too; the size is just right!"
"Not at all, how can you all think it's a soul tool? What if it's a soul bone?"
"A soul bone? Are you dreaming? If you had something as precious as that, you'd use it yourself. Who would be so foolish to auction it off!"
