Chapter 64 - Chapter 64: The Beauty in the Auction House

"Her form is like a startled swan, graceful as a wandering dragon. Radiant as autumn chrysanthemums, lush as spring pines. Like light clouds veiling the moon, like flowing wind returning snow…"

As Lin Feng recited, Qian Renxue and Ling Yuan's eyes grew brighter.

Especially Qian Renxue, who wrapped her arms around Lin Feng's neck and giggled:

"Shoulders like carved jade, a waist as slender as a ribbon. A long, elegant neck, fair skin revealed… This is clearly about me. Xiao Feng, you're so sweet."

She nuzzled Lin Feng's cheek, her adoration impossible to hide.

As she breathed in Lin Feng's faint scent, her heart felt at peace.

Huh?

Why were her hands wandering?

Lin Feng caught Qian Renxue's roaming hands and looked at Ling Yuan:

"It's still early. Should we visit the auction house?"

Ling Yuan, somewhat envious of Qian Renxue lying on Lin Feng, replied softly:

"I don't mind. It's up to Xiao Xue."

"I'd like to go too. It'll be interesting to see."

After changing clothes, the three headed to a large building in the city center, marked by a hammer-shaped sign.

Though not as large as the Spirit Arena, it was still a significant structure in the city.

In a place like Heaven Dou City, where land was precious, the backing behind such an auction house was evident.

At the arched entrance stood six tall, elegant young women.

Dressed in high-slit red cheongsams with golden patterns, they exuded grace and sophistication.

As they moved, their long legs and ample curves were partially revealed, drawing the appreciative gazes of passersby.

With professional smiles, the women bowed:

"Welcome to the Heaven Dou Auction House. Do you have a reservation?"

"No, but we have this."

Lin Feng handed over a black card. The maid's eyes lit up with excitement as she confirmed its authenticity and returned it.

"Then, honored guests, please follow me."

Under the envious gazes of her colleagues, the maid led the way.

Whether intentional or not, she swayed her hips as she walked, the click of her high heels echoing.

The slit of her cheongsam revealed her long, fair legs.

A faint, alluring fragrance wafted from her.

"Hehe, miss, is your hip uncomfortable? Do you need me to fix it for you?"

Qian Renxue's tone was dangerous.

Lin Feng remained silent, his vision blocked by two hands as he focused on navigating in the dark.

"The guest jokes."

The maid's movements stiffened momentarily, and she stopped swaying, focusing on leading the way.

She cursed inwardly. She had thought the young man was the dominant one, but it seemed he was henpecked.

"Honored guests, you've arrived a bit late today. The top rooms are already taken. This Black Room 17 is the best available. Is it satisfactory?"

The room was spacious, with a long table laden with delicacies and fruits.

A large sofa sat before a transparent window, with snacks and drinks arranged nearby.

In the corner was a large bed and some mysterious items that made Qian Renxue blush.

"This will do. You may leave. And take those things on the bed with you."

The maid glanced at Qian Renxue in surprise, subtly eyeing Lin Feng and Ling Yuan.

With a meaningful smile, she pretended not to hear the latter part:

"Then I shall take my leave. If you need anything, press the button by the sofa.

We have everything here~

Also, the room is completely soundproof~"

With a soft laugh, the maid left, casting a glance back at the trio.

"Hey, you!"

Qian Renxue reached out as if to stop her but didn't move.

She glanced at the corner with the bed. So strange.

One more look!

Lin Feng pulled Qian Renxue and Ling Yuan to the sofa, tapping Qian Renxue's forehead:

"Focus on the auction. Don't think about unnecessary things."

"Oh—"

Qian Renxue leaned on Lin Feng's shoulder, nibbling his ear:

"Xiao Feng, do you want to try that?"

Lin Feng looked at Qian Renxue, puzzled. What had made her so curious?

He glanced at the corner. The sheer fabric was barely enough to conceal anything.

Yikes—

"No!"

Qian Renxue's eyes sparkled as she whispered: "Then, when we're alone later?"

Ling Yuan, leaning on Lin Feng's other shoulder, blushed, recalling the time she had convinced Qian Renxue to wear a slip dress. Back then, Qian Renxue had been so shy.

When did you become like this!

Lin Feng's eyes widened. He felt the need to correct Qian Renxue's thoughts and nodded.

To solve the problem, he had to be part of it!

"Let's watch the auction first. Although we're late, the main items should still be available."

Qian Renxue chuckled: "Alright."

Looking down, the auction hall was divided into five sections: red, black, purple, yellow, and white.

The hierarchy was clear.

The host announced:

"Next, we have a rare treasure.

For our male guests, this will be quite appealing."

The host gave a knowing look and pointed to a large frame covered in black cloth.

As the lights flashed, the cloth was removed, revealing the auction item.

A pair of panicked eyes filled with confusion. The specially chosen outfit highlighted her stunning figure.

Her hands clutched her chest, trying to hide her modesty, her eyes tearful yet alluring.

"This is today's special item. Due to a mishap during her martial soul awakening, this young lady with a fox martial soul has become like this.

Her fox ears, soft tail, and pitiful yet seductive expression.

Ah, truly irresistible. Guests, you may begin bidding. The starting price is 100,000 gold soul coins, with increments of at least 10,000."

Qian Renxue and Ling Yuan were furious. Qian Renxue stood up and scolded:

"In the heart of Heaven Dou City, the largest auction house dares to sell people! This is outrageous!"

Lin Feng frowned. It seemed that, like the cat girl in the original story, such things were not uncommon.

Qian Renxue shook Lin Feng:

"Xiao Feng, let's bid for her."

Lin Feng pondered for a moment and nodded:

"Alright. But remember, Xiao Xue, we can save her, but we can't save everyone.

To stop this from happening, we must address the root cause."

"I bid 500,000 gold soul coins! I ask everyone to give Moon Pavilion some face. Yuehua is deeply grateful."

Before Lin Feng could bid, a gentle, soothing voice rang out.

Lin Feng looked up in surprise at a room on the higher floor. Tang Yuehua? Why was she here?
