Chapter 150: Cat Girl
“Next, we will auction a rare treasure. Those interested, please pay attention, especially the male distinguished guests.”
Suddenly a sound came, and Ling Mo and Zhu Zhuqing immediately looked over.
Only to see on the ritual platform, as soon as the host finished speaking, a cart appeared from behind.
Three strong and burly men pushed up a cart covered with a red cloth, unable to see what was inside, but from the external shape, it looked like a square large box.
“Eh, what is this thing? It looks quite mysterious…”
Ling Mo suddenly became a bit interested. From the host’s words, this thing was specially targeted at male distinguished guests.
With so much hype, it wouldn’t tell him that there was a person inside, right?
The host said somewhat mysteriously: “Can everyone guess what this is? How about this, I’ll first reveal the low price to all distinguished guests.
The starting price for this auction item is one hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins, with each bid increase not less than ten thousand Gold Soul Coins. This is the finest of the finest.”
As the auction house host, stirring up the atmosphere and the bidders’ enthusiasm was obviously a required skill. He successfully attracted the bidders’ attention.
“Now, please look carefully, distinguished guests.” As he spoke, he grabbed the red cloth and yanked it off fiercely.
After a flash of red light, what was revealed was not some box, but a huge iron cage. Inside the iron cage, a young girl was curled up.
The girl’s body was mostly exposed, with only key parts covered by shells. Because she was curled up, her figure was nearly perfect.
“Damn, it really is a person…” Ling Mo immediately had a headache. He had just said it casually, but unexpectedly it really was a person.
And it was a Cat Girl. Great, now he had to waste another sum of money for nothing.
Earlier he had promised Zhu Zhuqing to buy these girls, of course including those auctioned at the auction house.
“These bastards, actually selling people as pets.”
Zhu Zhuqing’s eyes were extremely cold as she said expressionlessly.
Clearly, the Cat Girl in the iron cage had successfully aroused her pity.
“Hm? It seems she can still be saved…”
Activating Dual Pupils, Ling Mo examined her carefully and found that this Cat Girl, unlike the other girls, had not completely lost her soul.
There was at least fear and unease in her eyes!
Saving those who had lost their souls was meaningless. But this one still had a soul, and it was due to Martial Soul mutation. How could he not save her when he encountered her?
Perfectly, he could buy her and have her manage these girls who had already lost their souls.
Perhaps… only those who survived in the same darkness could have a common language.
Empathy for such things did not exist.
Their experiences were almost the same. Perhaps… she could save these girls who had lost their souls and lost hope.
“Number Nine distinguished guest has bid, two hundred thousand…”
Watching the people below start frantically bidding, increasing by ten thousand each time, Ling Mo had no interest in that and directly bid two hundred thousand in one go.
Instantly, the entire venue fell silent.
No one could imagine that someone would really spend such a high price for a slave.
“You’re crazy! Bidding so much…”
Zhu Zhuqing was also stunned for a moment, unable to figure out what Ling Mo wanted to do.
Although she really wanted to save this Cat Girl, perhaps because their Martial Souls were both cats.
But Ling Mo bidding so much in one go still shocked her.
“Just small money, it doesn’t matter! Mainly, I want to disgust that guy…”
Ling Mo signaled with his eyes, and Zhu Zhuqing looked over to see a three-meter-tall burly man sitting in the front row.
This was clearly due to his Martial Soul, so his body was extremely large, like a giant elephant.
Hu Yan Zhen!
Sect Master of Elephant Armor Sect, a Soul Douluo level strong expert.
Ling Mo hadn’t expected to encounter him here either; he purely wanted to disgust him a bit.
He had just raised the price to one hundred fifty thousand, and in a blink, Ling Mo raised it by fifty thousand.
Faced with this provocative behavior, Hu Yan Zhen unpleasantly turned his head back, only to face Ling Mo’s innocent smile.
Instantly, his anger couldn’t come out.
“Check who this guy is. This old fellow wants to teach him a good lesson…”
Hu Yan Zhen said in a low voice to the servant beside him, already harboring killing intent toward Ling Mo.
Daring to make him lose face in public like this was deliberately picking a fight, which he absolutely could not tolerate.
“Who is that person?” Zhu Zhuqing also noticed, but she wasn’t worried.
Ling Mo had left Number Five by her side, a top-tier Titled Douluo level strong expert. No matter where she went, she wasn’t worried about her safety.
She was just a bit puzzled—how did Ling Mo know that person?
“I don’t know!”
Ling Mo spread his hands. He had seen Hu Yan Zhen, but they didn’t know each other.
“You don’t know him but still deliberately disgust him?”
Zhu Zhuqing said speechlessly. Sometimes Ling Mo’s mischievousness was so strong, his thoughts always so unexpected.
“Hehe, no problem! I just simply don’t like him…”
Ling Mo smiled. Looking at Hu Yan Zhen’s over-three-meter-tall build, and the Cat Girl was only about one point seven meters—how could she endure that?
It would definitely break her…
So, Ling Mo wanted to stop this behavior and deliberately disgust him.
“Number Nine distinguished guest bid two hundred thousand. Is there anyone willing to bid higher?”
The host asked again, but still no one answered.
After all, two hundred thousand was no small sum. Although the people present weren’t short of money,
Spending two hundred thousand to buy a slave, one that would be discarded after one use—who would be willing?
“Two hundred ten thousand…”
At this time, an elderly voice came. Ling Mo looked over in confusion and saw it was a white-haired old man.
“Damn, are old men nowadays so vigorous?”
Ling Mo was truly startled. This old man, at such an advanced age, actually still had such interest.
“Ah, it hurts, hurts, hurts…”
Before he finished speaking, Zhu Zhuqing pinched him, and Ling Mo looked aggrieved.
“Do you want to do something too?”
Zhu Zhuqing glared at him coldly, and Ling Mo felt extremely guilty.
He really didn’t have such thoughts—don’t think of him that way.
“Hehe, no such thing!”
The person below the stage was the current Heaven Dou Emperor’s younger brother, Prince Xue Xing.
Ling Mo didn’t know him, but Ling Mo didn’t mind playing with him.
With one glance, the two exchanged glances. Ling Mo smiled and waved at him.
Directly bidding.
“Three hundred thousand…”
With that one bid, the entire venue fell silent. Everyone looked at Ling Mo and Prince Xue Xing below.
Hu Yan Zhen even showed joy, looking at Ling Mo like he was an idiot.
“Hmph, ignorant and arrogant brat. I originally wanted to deal with you personally, but unexpectedly you provoke that old fellow…”
As soon as Ling Mo spoke, almost everyone thought he was a dead man.
That was a prince—one below tens of thousands above. Ling Mo actually dared to provoke him?
This behavior was no different from seeking death.
Not only were all the distinguished guests in the venue shocked, even the host on stage didn’t dare make a sound.
Everyone wondered what kind of backing Ling Mo had to dare challenge a prince.
“Brat! Are you seeking death?”
Xue Xing glared fiercely at Ling Mo, his killing intent already stirred.
Ling Mo spread his hands, the meaning obvious—he was seeking death and requesting it.
Instantly… the atmosphere in the entire auction house froze. Although the auction house didn’t allow trouble, who dared to stop this prince?
“Very good! Today, I’ll see who can save you…”
Xue Xing was furiously enraged and directly stood up from his seat.
