Chapter 152: Are You Short On Money?
“Hehe, quite the personality! Not bad, I like it…”
Zhu Zhuqing’s reaction made Qian Renxue smile, but she didn’t say anything else.
She then looked at Ling Mo, “That guy Xue Xing won’t let it go just like this, so prepare yourself mentally. He doesn’t dare cause trouble here, but that doesn’t mean he won’t do something excessive outside.”
“Oh? Is that so… Then… that sounds pretty interesting!”
Ling Mo didn’t take it to heart at all. A mere Xue Xing, who couldn’t even reach Titled Douluo, what right did he have to shout in front of him?
It wasn’t Ling Mo bragging, but in the current world situation, he really wasn’t afraid of anyone.
In the end, Ling Mo bought that Cat Girl for three hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins.
The auction continued, but unfortunately there was nothing Ling Mo wanted, so he didn’t bid anymore.
However… that Prince Xue Xing was in a bad mood and was already plotting in his mind how to get rid of Ling Mo to vent his anger.
What puzzled him was that Qian Renxue had been staying with Ling Mo and the others since she arrived here, so he couldn’t help but suspect if there was some relationship between the two.
Or perhaps, Ling Mo had a force behind him, and that force happened to support Qian Renxue?
“Go, investigate this kid’s origin. Within one day, I want all his detailed information…”
Xue Xing said sinisterly to the servant beside him, his eyes occasionally glancing back, only to find that every time he looked, Ling Mo would notice.
And after Ling Mo noticed, he almost always gave him a smile.
Watching this, Xue Xing got angrier and more frustrated.
“Now, we come to the final item in the auction, which is also the most valuable treasure of our Auction House today, the finale.”
Soon, another auction item was brought up, this time just a small cart. The item on the cart wasn’t covered with red cloth either, and seeing this item.
“Eh… isn’t this thing yours?”
Qian Renxue saw the item on it and was stunned for a moment, suddenly finding it amusing.
“Are you short on money?”
She had seen most of the things in Ling Mo’s hands before. Last time, Ling Mo even gave her a Peacock Plume, though she never had the opportunity to use it.
She couldn’t help but wonder if Ling Mo was short on money. He actually put these things up for auction?
“As if you’d give me money if I were short…” Ling Mo rolled his eyes.
Too lazy to explain, it had nothing to do with whether he was short on money. Mainly, since he came, it wouldn’t make sense not to earn some.
Besides, this was just the worst Hidden Weapon in his hands, a Zhuge Divine Crossbow that hadn’t even been refined with forging techniques, not worth much at all.
“How much are you short?”
Ling Mo’s joking words unexpectedly made Qian Renxue serious. She didn’t know how much money Ling Mo had.
She only knew that Ling Mo had spent a lot of money crafting the Ghost Gate, so it made sense that he might be short on money.
“No way! You’re really going to give it to me?”
Ling Mo was depressed. Why did it feel like he was being kept? Was he that kind of person?
Eating soft rice didn’t seem right.
“Do I look like someone who’s joking to you?”
Qian Renxue said amusedly. To her, money was just a number.
As long as Ling Mo wanted it, she could call up a large sum at any time.
Zhu Zhuqing coldly watched their conversation without interrupting.
Although she wasn’t sure if Qian Renxue was really a woman, she could tell there was definitely something between her and Ling Mo.
“Forget it! Keep your money for yourself. I don’t lack money…”
In the end, Ling Mo still didn’t accept Qian Renxue’s money. It wasn’t about minding or not; he really didn’t lack money.
“Fine! If you’re short on money, remember to tell me. I might not have anything else, but money… I have plenty!”
The auction below had already started. Don’t say it… such a small thing actually had a pretty high bidding price.
The price directly soared to over three hundred thousand, and in the end, it was bought by someone who didn’t want to reveal their name.
“Not bad! Looks like your thing is pretty valuable…”
Seeing the moment it sold, Qian Renxue was full of emotion, thinking that Ling Mo made money too easily.
Just the least valuable thing in his hand was fought over by these people like a treasure.
“Naturally! In the world, you’re the only one who thinks these things are useless…”
Ling Mo spread his hands helplessly. He had given Qian Renxue a Peacock Plume before, and she actually didn’t think much of it.
If he hadn’t insisted on giving it to her in the end, she would have thrown it away directly.
Dugu Bo thought about this thing every day, and Ling Mo didn’t even pay attention to him, yet in her hands, it became worthless.
“Mm! Indeed useless…”
Qian Renxue said seriously, then waved her hand. “Alright, you stay and accompany your little girlfriend properly. I’m leaving first…”
After saying that, she left directly, without continuing to disturb Ling Mo and Zhu Zhuqing’s two-person world.
Originally, she wanted to have some mischievousness and tease Ling Mo, but the cost of teasing Ling Mo was too high; she was a bit scared.
After Qian Renxue left, Zhu Zhuqing finally asked the question in her heart.
“Who exactly is he?”
As soon as she said this, Ling Mo’s heart sank halfway. He knew that although Qian Renxue was well disguised, she couldn’t hide from Zhu Zhuqing who had Star Pupils.
Perhaps she had already seen through it but just didn’t want to say.
“Should I tell the truth?”
Ling Mo said hesitantly.
He was afraid Zhu Zhuqing would get angry, but… if he didn’t say it, she might get even angrier.
“I don’t like being deceived…”
The implication was that if Ling Mo dared to deceive her, she absolutely wouldn’t pay attention to him anymore.
Helplessly, Ling Mo had to explain to her, from their meeting with Qian Renxue to those bizarre experiences, and what story had slowly unfolded.
After hearing these things, Zhu Zhuqing was very quiet, with no reaction.
“Tonight, you’re not allowed on my bed…”
In the end, Ling Mo thought she would vent some anger, but who knew she just said this one sentence.
This made Ling Mo feel very uncomfortable.
He had already prepared to face a storm, but Zhu Zhuqing turned out to be so calm.
Perhaps… she had already guessed it.
Starting from Ning Rongrong, she seemed to have become indifferent to such things.
“Zhu Qing, how about you hit me once…”
Ling Mo felt very bad, that feeling was worse than constipation.
“Why should I hit you? I won’t…”
“No, hit me once, otherwise I won’t feel at ease…”
“I won’t…”
Ling Mo was depressed. Had this girl gotten mad silly? Why no reaction at all.
“Hit me once, if that’s really not possible, curse me a couple times…”
Ling Mo really couldn’t hold it in.
“Pfft…”
Suddenly, Zhu Zhuqing laughed out loud. Seeing Ling Mo’s depressed look was just too funny.
“You know you’re wrong now? What were you doing earlier? Why didn’t you tell me from the beginning?”
“I… I don’t know how to say it!”
Ling Mo found it hard to speak, truly not knowing how to explain.
“Besides her, do you have any other women?”
Zhu Zhuqing asked again.
With this question, Ling Mo simply went all out and confessed about Dugu Yan as well.
For Qian Renxue, Ling Mo might still find it hard to explain, but… Dugu Yan was different.
He was also a victim; both of them had been pitted by Dugu Bo.
After hearing Ling Mo’s explanation, Zhu Zhuqing was half believing, half doubting.
However, what had happened couldn’t be changed anymore.
“Just these two, I endure! If there are others, just wait, I’ll cut it off for you directly…”
In the end, Zhu Zhuqing said viciously, feeling very upset inside but having no choice but to accept.
