The auction continued with better and better slaves being presented on the stage, and their prices rose steadily.
After the first half was over, the host announced a short break at which time all the rooms received trays with snacks and wine or tea depending on their choice.
The people in the big hall didn't have such a choice and were just served tea.
The break lasted about half an hour before the host returned to the stage.
-Now let's proceed to the second half of our auction.
He said taking the stand.
-Without any delay let me present to you this beautiful twenty-two-year-old woman who also happens to be a pleasure slave.
She was trained in every way that brings pleasure no matter if it's a man or a woman.
He introduced the woman who was brought to the stage.
She was Quite a beauty but Paul didn't even spare her a second glance since she was not the type of slave he was looking for.
Besides he already had his hands full with Fei Fei.
The woman was sold after a few minutes for 122 gold coins which was the highest price paid till now.
Unlike the first half of the auction, in the second half, there were no men presented only women and most of them were cultivators.
Paul ignored the pleasure slaves despite them being beauties on par with supermodels.
Only when he saw a familiar face being brought up to the stage did he get interested.
-This eighteen-year-old beauty is also a stage two cultivator and a skilled archer.
She can be your bodyguard as well as a pleasure slave, maid, or whatever you wish for.
Our healer can personally guarantee that she is a virgin and her last master even sent her to defend the White Cloud town against the beast tide so she is also battle-tested.
The starting bid is twenty gold coins.
When Anna and Fei Fei saw the girl being brought onto the stage they were speechless.
-Wei Lan.
Anna said quietly in disbelief.
-Paul can we buy her?
The girl asked.
Anna didn't want to see a friend who fought shoulder to shoulder with them to be sold to someone else.
-I see no problem with that.
Paul said with a smile.
He understood that Anna liked her new friends she met during battle and wanted to ensure their wellbeing.
What's more, he also liked the two girls and if he could then he would rather get them as his slaves than see them sold to some random people.
-Good, if you didn't bid for her, I would.
Fei Fei said with a charming smile.
Paul laughed at her remark.
-By all means, if you want to buy a slave then I don't see anything wrong with it.
He said in amusement.
While they were talking the bidding already started and reached 120 gold coins.
-150.
Paul said raising his tag.
This surprised everyone, not only was this a bid from a private room but it raised the price by a large margin.
After his words nobody tried to bid anymore and Wei Lan was sold to him which made Anna and Fei Fei happy.
-Wait, If Lan is here then…
Anna didn't even finish her sentence when the host announced another slave with the same description as Wei Lan but a seventeen-year-old and with stage one cultivation.
She was not surprised when she saw Wu Yin being brought onto the stage.
Before she could even ask.
-I will buy her also.
Paul said with a smile.
He predicted this when he saw Wei Lan and was prepared to buy them both, if not for any other reason than to make Anna and Fei Fei Happy.
Not to mention that both ladies were pretty and even if they were not as useful in household chores then it was always a good idea to have more people who knew how to fight when traveling.
-With any luck, these two can solve your cultivation problem.
Fei Fei said with a mischievous smile.
Paul immediately understood what she meant and Anna took only a few seconds more to figure it out.
-No way, I won't allow it.
She protested.
-Force them to have sex with you and I swear that I will castrate you myself.
Anna said with an angry face.
Both Paul and Fei Fei started laughing at her little outburst.
She didn't understand what was so funny when she was dead serious about what she said.
-Little sister, nobody said anything about forcing them, they will come to him sooner or later.
Fei Fei said through her laughter.
-Also it won't only help Master but them as well, I explained this to you already, and lastly don't threaten your master silly or you will get into trouble.
Fei Fei warned her at the end.
Paul might not care about her outburst and treat it as a good joke but that only depended on his good mood and most slave owners would punish a slave that threatened them with castration.
-Actually, some punishment might be in order, for this threat.
Paul said with a mischievous grin on his face.
He didn't mind at first but hearing Fei Fei's words gave him an idea to tease Anna a bit.
Hearing this Anna want pale.
She had no idea what he had in mind and she was in no hurry to find out.
Also, Fei Fei's words reminded her that she was also a slave and had no business threatening her master if she didn't want to get punished.
When she was living on the streets she saw more than once a slave beaten brutally only because they looked at their master the wrong way.
There was no way that she wanted to experience that or even worse.
-What do you mean?
Anna asked after swallowing hard.
-I don't know yet but I'm sure that I can figure something out.
Paul said, but the punishment was already delivered and now he only enjoyed her sweating bullets trying to find a way out.
Anna on the other hand had no idea that he was teasing her and was getting scared thinking about all the things that he could do to her.
Seeing her little sister so worried Fei Fei decided to help her out.
-Stop teasing her, she will have a heart attack if this goes on any longer.
She said to Paul with a hint of disapproval in her voice.
-Ok, I'll stop.
Paul said with a smile and only then did Anna figure out that he was just teasing her.
She was speechless for a moment.
-How could you do this to me?
She thought but decided to be quiet or the teasing could become the reality.
during their conversation, the bidding had already started and the price was steadily going up.
-100.
Paul said raising the bid.
He was rich but that didn't mean that he could squander as the money would be needed later.
-105.
-110
-120.
The bids went up like a rocket.
This surprised Paul as the price was going up too fast with many people trying to get Wu Yin like she was a treasure of some king.
-Fei Fei, what is going on here?
He asked because he was unable to figure it out and didn't have the time for it.
-Her surname is Wu, so I think that everybody is betting that she is from the Wu clan from the capital.
Fei Fei said.
Paul did hear about the Wu clan in the capital but nothing more than the fact that they were a prominent family of alchemists.
-What's the significance of that?
He asked, not getting the point.
-The Wu clan has a very special physique that is mostly inherited by their female descendants.
It's called a thousand poisons physique and it grants them immunity to almost any poison.
The important part is that their first time allows their lover to get the same benefits and the host just said that she is a virgin so everyone wants to try their luck.
But I think that this is just a coincidence, think about it.
Why would a descendant of an influential clan become a slave?
Fei Fei explained the situation.
-Well coincidence or not, this will complicate thighs a bit.
Paul said after digesting the information.
While they were talking the bidding rose to over 300 gold coins and there was no indication of it stopping anytime soon.
